Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 164 - : The Scent Between Husband and Wife

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: The Scent Between Husband and Wife

“It’s pretty serious, but as a military officer, his physical condition is good, so he recovered quickly.”

“Oh,” Su Meixi thought of Gu Wei in that moment.

Yet she felt it couldn’t be Gu Wei; even if Gu Wei were injured, he would have been transferred back to Feng City for treatment. The Gu Group owns a very good private hospital, and Dr. Liao Ding is a top surgeon.

Thinking of Gu Wei, she suddenly felt a bit stifled.

Professor Chen didn’t say much more, only mentioning, “Then I will send you the research topics I’m currently working on later. You can write a paper based on these topics later on. If it gets published, it can be very helpful for your professional evaluation.”

“Okay, thank you, Professor Chen,” Su Meixi said and then left.

Again, it was Bai Anzhi who escorted her out.

“How is it, are you planning to join our research institute?” Bai Anzhi asked with a smile.

“I can only come over and work part-time temporarily,” Su Meixi responded.

“That’s fine. Most of us here are part-time anyway.”

Since it was an association, doctors could sign contracts that didn’t conflict with their primary job.

Like various Go associations and writers’ associations, their members manage to maintain their primary jobs while also joining these associations to exchange with their peers.

Su Meixi asked him, “If I were to sign a contract, what would be the procedure?”

“I’ll send you a form later; just fill it out and it will be fine.”

“Don’t you have an association secretary here? Give me her WeChat, and I’ll contact her directly. There’s no need to trouble you, a busy person like you.”

“If you think that’s more formal, then sure.”

Anyways, he was going to see her information.

“I’m heading back now, there are some things I need to attend to at the hospital,” Su Meixi said.

“I’ll drive you.”

“I’ll just take a cab. I’m not used to your sports car.”

“You’ll get used to it after a couple of rides.”

Su Meixi still declined; as a doctor coming here for advanced training, she should keep a low profile. If colleagues saw her returning in a sports car, she might be subject to criticism.

Bai Anzhi then didn’t insist.

But his feeling towards her improved a bit more today.

Her cool and distant temperament was truly attractive.

…

Xin Ren Hospital.

Gu Wei felt that he had improved a bit more; his arm had also regained some strength.

That day, he tried to sit up, supporting himself with his hand.

But halfway through, he suddenly couldn’t muster the strength and was about to fall back onto the bed when a pair of hands timely supported him.

Those hands were soft and boneless but also carried a tenacity.

Soft and boneless was inherent, while the tenacity was acquired, the kind of hands that belonged to a resolute woman with ideals.

After being steadied, he smelled a fragrance on her.

It was the scent of gardenias.

In his recollection, Su Meixi didn’t carry such a scent.

But during this time, he could smell the scent of gardenias drifting nearby; there must be gardenia planted outside the window of this ward, so she also carried the scent on her.

He reached out, wanting to hold her waist.

As soon as he touched her, he felt her body jerk away as if electrocuted.

He couldn’t hear, and his heart was filled with confusion.

But after a while, she approached him again and even hugged him.

The motion was very gentle, and her body was soft.

The feeling was not similar to that of Su Meixi.

He could only blame his lack of sight and hearing.

Perhaps there were other people in the room; therefore, she hesitated to touch him, or maybe it was because his mother was present, making her touch stiffen.

Gu Wei knew she was strong-willed and didn’t press the matter.

He propped himself up to sit for a while, but then the pain in his body came, and it hurt so much that he had no choice but to lie down.

Then came his mother’s familiar presence, as she wiped his sweat and massaged him.

During this time, Gu Wei genuinely felt Qiu Yurou’s maternal love. He must have caused her a lot of worry by ending up in such a state.

If his body recovered this time, she would surely press him to leave the military.

Su Meixi had gone to the research institute tonight to pick up the research materials for the project from Professor Chen.

Professor Chen wasn’t there, probably because of his age; he couldn’t stay up late.

Just as she was about to take the materials and leave, she ran into Professor Chen at the door.

“Professor, you’re still not off work at this late hour?” she asked.

Professor Chen looked somewhat tired but patiently answered Su Meixi’s question, “Didn’t I tell you before about the important person who was injured? Recently, he’s been in frequent pain, which must be nerve-related.”

Su Meixi also expressed her concern, “What should be done about it?”

“The experts are looking into it. If it’s nerve damage, acupuncture or dry needling treatment can be used, along with massage, and there should be improvements,” he explained.

Professor Chen pulled out his phone and showed it to Su Meixi, “Look, this is his X-ray. From the X-ray, you can see his bone is slightly misaligned, which is bound to affect the nerves…”

The moment Su Meixi saw the X-ray, she knew it was a man, and he was tall.

Her chest tightened inexplicably.

Because Professor Chen’s phone screen was small, she didn’t pay attention to the patient’s name, only looking where Professor Chen pointed.

Professor Chen said, “This patient is really severely injured; he’s now blind, and his ears are temporarily deaf. If not for his strong will, he might not have survived.”

Su Meixi sincerely added, “That must be the steel-like will of a soldier.”

“I’ll organize this patient’s information later, and you can study it as well,” he offered.

Su Meixi quickly nodded, “Okay.”

Gu Wei was scheduled for physical therapy again.

He couldn’t hear any sounds now, feeling only different hands touching his body each day, performing surgeries large and small, various needles inserted into his body.

No matter how much it hurt, he didn’t make a sound.

He knew someone was always by his side, a pair of hands would grasp his when he was in so much pain that he was sweating.

It was Ah Xi.

He grasped her hand tightly too.

Her hands had always been delicate, like segments of green onions, seemingly boneless, a little plump.

Just, for some reason, possibly because they were in the ward, her hands were cooler than before; he remembered her hands always being warm, especially the palms.

Sometimes he wondered if the person wasn’t her.

But if not her, then who else?

Aside from his mother, which woman would stay by his side all the time? Bathe him, feed him water, do such intimate things?

Sometimes when he was in so much pain that he vomited, she didn’t seem to mind and would clean up after him.

Qiu Yurou watched as Gu Wei became increasingly dependent on Wan Manyu, and she couldn’t help but beam with joy.

If Gu Wei’s condition improved, he would surely be grateful to Manman, and perhaps he would feel that Manman was the woman more suited for him.

During this time, Wan Manyu was constantly torn and conflicted internally.

She felt that what she was doing was despicable and lived in constant fear that Gu Wei would see through her.

With Gu Wei’s military background, his vigilance was high, and he had reconnaissance experience. If not for her hands being extremely similar to Su Meixi’s, he would have realized the truth the moment he touched her hand.

Plus, he was severely injured, his senses unclear, and his body in constant pain; otherwise, he would recognize the impersonation simply by the scent.

While Gu Wei was having his therapy, she walked to the corridor to look at the gardenias downstairs.

Spouses are very sensitive to scents, and these days, she deliberately wore gardenias on her body to cover up her own smell.

Qiu Yurou followed behind her.

“Manman, what’s the matter with you? Are you not in good spirits?”
