Lu Zixing stood up with a whoosh, his eyes burning with raging anger as he glared at Lu Beichuan.
Lu Beichuan sneered, his aura not losing out to Lu Zixing in the slightest.
“In what capacity are you saying these words to me? An Xia’s younger uncle?”
“You!”
“Don’t forget, you were also one of the culprits when she was bullied back then.”
Lu Beichuan’s light reminder made Lu Zixing’s face turn pale instantly.
The aura around his body also gradually weakened.
“An Xia is no longer your childhood playmate. She is your sister-in-law. How a younger uncle and a sister-in-law should get along, how much distance they should maintain, I shouldn’t need to teach you that, right?”
Lu Beichuan lowered his head, a cool smile on the corner of his mouth, his fingers turning the brand new, seamless plain men’s ring on his ring finger.
He had never liked wearing these cumbersome things on his body, but when he saw this unopened jewelry box in the cloakroom in the morning, and saw the plain men’s ring inside that was very different from An Xia’s design, he actually put it on as if possessed.
The size was unexpectedly suitable.
He couldn’t even take it off even if he wanted to.
So he simply wore it.
Lu Zixing glared at Lu Beichuan angrily, his lips trembling with anger, but he couldn’t say a word of rebuttal.
The operating room door opened, and An Xia was pushed out on a hospital bed with a pale face. She was still unconscious from the anesthesia. The extremely thin person lay on the hospital bed like a fragile porcelain doll, as if she would be injured with a slight touch.
Having known An Xia for eleven years, this was the third time Lu Beichuan had seen An Xia like this.
The first time was when she rescued Jingyang, who had been kidnapped and taken away. She was beaten all over by the kidnappers but didn’t let go of Jingyang’s hand, and then dragged Jingyang to the Lu family’s gate according to Jingyang’s few vague descriptions.
The second time was three years ago, one night after they accidentally had an unexpected relationship. An Xia was also like this, sitting lifelessly on the railing of the balcony, her whole body weak and shaky, as if she would fall down at any time. Lu Beichuan was worried that she would be suicidal, so he agreed to marry her.
Every time he saw her in this state, Lu Beichuan’s heart always felt sour and astringent.
Lu Beichuan followed An Xia, who was being pushed out, with his eyes fixed on her. It wasn’t until the last doctor followed out that he quietly withdrew his gaze and looked at the last doctor.
“Why are you here?”
Lu Beichuan looked at Shen Huaian coldly.
An Xia had a fracture, and the attending doctor should be an orthopedic doctor.
What could a neurologist like Shen Huaian do here?
“Xin Kang pays Dr. Shen a salary, not to let Dr. Shen wander around during working hours.”
Shen Huaian didn’t stop, and followed the medical staff to send An Xia to the VIP ward.
Lu Beichuan frowned and followed.
After the hospital bed was set up, Shen Huaian and another doctor carefully checked An Xia’s condition. After confirming that there were no errors, Shen Huaian tucked the corner of the quilt for An Xia.
But before he could finish tidying up, his hand was suddenly grabbed.
Shen Huaian met Lu Beichuan’s deep eyes with a probing meaning, only coldness and impatience.
“President Lu is knowledgeable and talented, I wonder if you know that the nerves in the back are directly connected to the brain?”
“There’s more than one neurologist.”
“The director is not here, and I am the most authoritative in neurology. When a patient is sent to the hospital, does President Lu want me, a doctor, to stand by and watch?” Shen Huaian asked back without being affected in the slightest.
He was calm and rational, which made Lu Beichuan, who suddenly acted, seem a little impatient.
“The surgery is over, you can leave, you are not needed here.” Lu Beichuan released his hand and coldly issued an eviction order directly.
“This ward doesn’t need me, a professional doctor, does it need a cold-blooded husband who doesn’t care about his wife at all to stay here as a door god?”
Shen Huaian’s aura was not inferior to Lu Beichuan’s in the slightest.
“Dr. Shen is really enthusiastic, even managing the patient’s private life.” Lu Beichuan’s cold gaze pierced over, and he sarcastically pulled his lips: “I just don’t know where Dr. Shen got the qualification to dare to interfere in my and An Xia’s married life.”
Shen Huaian’s face didn’t change, and he was even as calm as Mount Tai.
“An Xia is seriously injured, I have reason to suspect that she has suffered domestic violence. You are her husband, and naturally one of the suspects. I am a person with a strong sense of social justice, and I like to do what is right, so it is impossible to let the victim and you, the suspect, be alone in a room. Even if the police come, they will support me in doing so.”
Shen Huaian smiled, his clear and cold gaze meeting Lu Beichuan’s gloomy and cold eyes.
“It seems that you are not suitable to stay here now.”
Lu Beichuan clenched his fist, his thin lips were tightly pursed and almost lost their blood color, and his eyes stared at Shen Huaian fiercely.
Just as he was about to open his lips, Shen Huaian spoke unhurriedly.
“If you want to use resignation to threaten me, I advise President Lu to bear with it. If you fire me, not to mention that you have to pay me a considerable amount of compensation, An Xia will also be angry with you because of this. This action is not cost-effective.”
Lu Beichuan laughed angrily.
“You know her well.”
“Of course. When she was in the first year of high school, I sent her home every day. She liked to chat very much. She could sit on the back seat of my bicycle and chat with me for half an hour without stopping. I laughed at her like a cute little sparrow back then.”
When he mentioned the past, Shen Huaian’s eyebrows were dyed with a smile.
It seemed that the green years were really very beautiful. It was unforgettable and made people reminisce constantly.
The warmer he smiled, the more difficult Lu Beichuan’s face became.
Sparrow.
An Xia became an eagle after marrying him. He hadn’t seen her send him a voice message or a message for ten days and a half months.
It turned out that she had already finished saying what she wanted to say to the people she wanted to say it to before she got married.
Shen Huaian looked at his watch, and the nurse happened to come in at this time to call him to check on the patients.
“President Lu, since you have married someone home, take good care of her. Don’t let her get hurt easily next time.”
After Shen Huaian gave an explanation, he left An Xia’s ward with the nurse.
The moment the ward door closed, Lu Beichuan smashed the kettle on the bedside table.
The boiling water instantly spilled all over the floor, still steaming.
His wife, did he actually need someone else to teach him how to take care of her?
Did he need an outsider to tell him not to let her get hurt again.
Ridiculous.
Two hours passed, the anesthetic began to wear off, An Xia opened her eyes dimly, and the first thing she saw was Lu Beichuan sitting on the side with a cold and sullen face, staring at her.
If it wasn’t for the faint pain in her back, An Xia would have thought she was dead and had seen the King of Hell.
Seeing An Xia open her eyes, Lu Beichuan’s eyebrows moved slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw An Xia suddenly close her eyes tightly, and even turned her head to the other side.
Lu Beichuan’s face darkened.
She was really bold now. She even dared to dislike him so blatantly.
Lu Beichuan’s chest was stuffy, and he pulled his lips in anger.
“It’s okay for you to suffer a little injury, your flower protectors are all scared. One by one, they can’t wait to kneel next to you and wait for you to wake up.”
