MTL - His Marriage Partner is Scheming-Chapter 42

In the dental clinic after off-duty hours, the not-so-bright lights elongate the occasional walking figures.

There are only a few consulting rooms with lights left, and patients and doctors leave one after another.

The assistant Xiao Yu with a dazed expression walked out of the No. 8 clinic, closed the door reluctantly, and left space for Dr. Chi and his lover.

He had just discovered a major secret, full of excitement and didn't know who to tell, as he walked through the long corridor step by step.

When he walked to the front desk, Xiaoyu finally saw a familiar colleague, and hurriedly said, "An'an, do you know who I saw? I must be the first one in our clinic to know—"

An'an at the front desk also held back for a while, and managed to catch a colleague who could chat after work, and he happened to come out of that consulting room.

Her eyes lit up, and she almost said in unison: "Xiao Yu, was that person just now Dr. Chi's husband? You should have seen it, right? Oh my god, I was definitely the first one found in our clinic—"

The first of the two sounds collided, and the two looked at each other in dismay. After a moment of silence, they laughed at the same time.

An An finished laughing, and asked in a low voice, "So that's Dr. Chi's husband, right? Has he introduced you to him?"

Xiao Yu replied honestly: "Doctor Chi said that it is his husband, come and wait for him to go home."

An An held her face when she heard that: "Sir! What a romantic name. I suddenly remembered that wedding candy. I still remember it tasted very good."

Xiao Yu nodded: "The packaging is also very delicate, I am reluctant to throw it away, and use it as a key box."

While the two were chatting, another doctor left the consulting room and walked along the corridor to the elevator.

Seeing the person coming, An An at the front desk and assistant Xiao Yu stopped their conversation in a tacit understanding, and greeted each other politely.

"Doctor Xu is off work."

Xu Baijun heard them talking about wedding candies just now, and after responding, he asked casually, "Is anyone getting married again?"

Hearing his question, An An's expression was vaguely hesitant.

This Dr. Xu has been in the clinic for almost five months. At first, we didn’t know him very well. Everyone thought he was a talented person with good qualities. Later, he gradually realized that he was different.

In the beginning, quite a few people saw that he had a crush on Dr. Chi, so they went to visit other people's clinics after work. As a result, one day, they suddenly started gossip about Dr. Chi's blind date with a rich man.

Later, Dr. Chi got married, and when he came back to work after the wedding, he gave everyone happy candies, but he was the only one who skipped him.

Dr. Chi is very patient with children, but his usual attitude towards his colleagues is normal, neither indifferent nor attentive, he maintains ordinary politeness, and speaks directly when he has something to say.

He obviously didn't like this Dr. Xu who talked nonsense about his private life. After that, he didn't say a word to him again. When he met him in the clinic, he seemed like a stranger.

We chatted a lot in our daily relationship, and everyone gradually discovered the flaws in Dr. Xu. He was vain and confident. He was always showing off intentionally or unintentionally because of his family background, so gradually, most of them were not very good. I like to hang out with him.

An An and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, remembering Dr. Xu's suggestion a few months ago that Dr. Chi would win rich people by dating, they couldn't help but feel a little bit annoyed.

In fact, after getting along with Dr. Chi for a long time, everyone could guess that his family's conditions must be good, but he obviously didn't regard it as an important matter, and didn't mention it at all.

With Dr. Chi's personality and conditions, how could it be possible to regard marriage as a tool to cross classes?

So An An shook her head: "No, we're talking about Doctor Chi's candy."

Hearing this, Xu Baijun's expression froze, and subconsciously said: "It's been so long, I still remember..."

Xiao Yu went on to say: "Yes, the wedding candy is delicious, and Dr. Chi's husband came to pick him up today, and he is waiting in the consulting room."

After four months of marriage, Dr. Chi never mentioned his other half. He didn't like to talk about his private life. Whether it was relationship or family background, his colleagues who had been with him for a long time basically didn't think much about it.

But when chatting on weekdays, I occasionally mention this, as long as Dr. Xu is present, there will always be an intentional or unintentional hint in his words, as if this marriage is just a pale one-man show, which is why it came so hastily and suddenly, and cannot be accepted. officially filed.

He seemed to have always been prejudiced against Dr. Chi.

Both An An and Xiao Yu felt very strange.

Although they only saw Dr. Chi's partner and didn't know who he was, the tenderness in his eyes was very real.

He obviously came to pick up Dr. Chi back to the same home, so he brought presents specially.

It's a one-man show.

So when Xiao Yu finished speaking, An An added in an envious tone: "Dr. Chi's husband is so handsome, and he looks well-trained, and when he came here, he brought a gift for Dr. Chi who was working overtime. The two of them have a real relationship." good."

Xu Baijun's expression became more rigid, and he even forgot to hide the surprise in his tone: "...you said, he is in our clinic now?"

"yes."

The door opened again in the corridor, and the assistant Xiao Yu looked back: "Here, I just came out now."

In the increasingly quiet corridor, two figures came out of the consulting room one after the other, and then walked side by side under the light.

Dr. Chi changed out of his white coat, and he always dressed in a simple and casual style. With his red hair, he also looked reckless in the night.

The man beside him was gentle and steady, wearing a low-key black coat, and the gift bag in his hand swayed gently with his steps.

They are obviously two completely different people, but they seem to be a good match.

They were whispering something, and Dr. Chi had a faint smile on his face.

And the people around him looked at him sideways, as if they were not willing to look away for a moment, full of strong affection.

Eyes don't lie, it's a love that's easy to recognize.

Xu Baijun, who was standing next to the front desk, suddenly became ugly.

This was the first time he saw He Qiao himself.

He is also the only one who recognizes Dr. Chi's husband.

He had seen internal photos at his father's, a meeting of the Wanjia Group's senior management, and among the participants was He Qiao who had just come into contact with the family business.

But it was just a photo, his father was just a department manager of a branch of the group, and he was not qualified to participate in that kind of meeting.

Every time his prejudice is destroyed by facts beyond his imagination, he subconsciously refuses to accept it, so he can't help but fabricate some reasons to make him feel more relaxed.

People are always unwilling to admit their mistakes, so they get deeper and deeper in their mistakes.

Until now, witnessing it with his own eyes, he no longer has any reason to look for.

Xu Baijun was a little embarrassed, but also a little flustered and took a step aside, for fear that he would be noticed.

With He Qiao's attitude, as long as Chi Xueyan said a word, his father's job would definitely be lost.

But no one looked at him anymore.

The excited An An hurriedly reached out to greet Chi Xueyan: "Doctor Chi!"

She felt like she was watching an idol drama, and couldn't help laughing and complaining: "You lied to us last time, and said that your partner is very ordinary. The biggest advantage is your good temper."

Xiao Yu then expressed emotion: "If only I were this ordinary."

Chi Xueyan smiled: "Sorry, I said it casually before."

As he spoke, he looked at his lover beside him, as if explaining to him: "Ordinary is fake, but your temper is really good."

The lover looked down at him, and responded in a low voice: "...um."

In front of outsiders, they maintained a proper intimacy, and He Qiao put his arms around his waist.

Clinging to the edge of the hem with his fingertips, the winter sweater insulates him from the heat, and his posture can still be called a gentleman, without overdoing it.

What Chi Xueyan didn't know was that this time more, it was actually a good temper restraint.

After a brief greeting with his colleagues, he left the clinic with He Qiao.

Having dinner at the restaurant booked in advance, after thoroughly solving the problem of three meals a day, Chi Xueyan habitually went straight to the bathroom as soon as he got home.

When he got out of the shower and put on his bathrobe, there were already washed fresh strawberries on the dining table.

Sweet and luscious taste.

But He Qiao was not in the living room, it seemed that he also went back to his room to take a shower.

It's not the same as his usual habits.

Chi Xueyan didn't think much about it, he just thought it was a subconscious move after he went to the clinic.

He nestled on the sofa, eating strawberries while watching TV, with endless thoughts in his mind.

Chi Xueyan thought of the figure waiting for him outside the door before leaving get off work in the evening, and also thought of Su Yu saying that he was changed by marriage during the day.

Immediately afterwards, he also remembered something that he had forgotten for a long time.

When He Qiao took a shower and changed into his usual home clothes, and came out of the room, he first heard the noisy sound of the TV.

The screen cast light and shadow on the sofa directly opposite, and the person shrouded in the light and shadow looked down at a document intently.

He had obviously just blow-dried his hair casually, and the wet ends of his hair were still dripping with water, dripping into the loose bathrobe one after another.

White fingertips were holding a strawberry, hovering in mid-air, he was so engrossed in watching it that he forgot to eat it.

The intertwined crimson and snow-white bring an indescribable attraction, but the owner of the color is unaware of it. Every night after getting familiar with it, he often appears in the living room in the most comfortable and lazy posture.

He Qiao thought that Chi Xueyan might not be interested in love, but he has a keen ability to distinguish it.

As for sex, which is inseparable from love, it seems that it has never entered his field of vision.

On weekdays, when Chi Xueyan gets along with him, besides being casual, he usually pays attention to propriety and doesn't want to trouble and disturb too much.

Only in this aspect, the other party did not have the slightest awareness and sensitivity, as if in his world, that word did not exist.

...seems to be able to eat less vinegar.

But there is also an additional depression that can only be endured alone.

He Qiao actually wanted to help him dry his hair, but he hesitated for a moment in front of the damp steam, and finally just asked a more ordinary question.

"looking at what?"

It was the first time he saw Chi Xueyan take the initiative to flip through something similar to a document.

Chi Xueyan raised her eyes when she heard the words, with an interesting smile on her face.

"Looking at our prenuptial agreement," he said. "Looking back now, some of the clauses were pretty funny."

Lawyer Su, who helped him draft the agreement, always thought that the two of them were true love, but they loved each other in a special way, so he believed that the key point of the agreement was not to interfere with each other's private life besides the preservation of their respective property.

In order to try his best to ensure that his good friends can still play freely after marriage, he took the initiative to list the terms of this part in detail, including how to deal with various breaches of the contract.

At that time, Chi Xueyan didn't care about this part the most. He felt that he and He Qiao would be strangers immediately after they got married, and it was impossible for them to interfere with each other.

But he couldn't say it directly, so he could only live up to Lawyer Su's kindness and gave a very symbolic figure for all the places that needed to be carefully measured for liquidated damages: one yuan.

Before signing the agreement, He Qiao didn't raise any objections, and he probably didn't think that these clauses would come into use one day.

So much so that looking back now, looking back at these meticulously written non-interference clauses in private life, coupled with a very symbolic fine of one dollar, it seems very contrasting.

It's almost like a kind of fun.

After reviewing the agreement, Chi Xueyan put it on the coffee table and shook the strawberry in his hand to He Qiao.

"Strawberries are delicious, I leave the rest to you."

There was exactly half of it left on the plate.

In the round porcelain plate illuminated by the warm yellow ceiling lamp, half is gorgeous and blooming red, and the other half is bright and pure white.

The man who walked out of the room never approached the sofa, but just greeted him lightly.

He Qiao has always had a good temper.

The night flows away in ambiguous reverie, and a new day comes, accompanied by a new three meals a day.

For breakfast, I ate dumplings with a different method at home, instead of frying them with oil, the soup in the bowl was clear, and the same fillings tasted different, which was Chi Xueyan's favorite taste.

Lunch is a bit different. It's not going to eat in the restaurant of the media company, nor is it eating takeaway in the office.

Chi Xueyan was dragged to a restaurant on Maple Leaf Road by some relatively familiar colleagues for dinner.

After last night when a lover came to visit, on the second day, the gossip that Dr. Chi had kept secret for a long time about the handsomeness of his married partner spread in the clinic.

But that's all, there is no more information, and everyone doesn't even know his last name.

Both An An at the front desk and assistant Xiao Yu were very curious about him, but knowing Chi Xueyan's temper, they didn't ask too much.

Because the mere knowledge of this can already brighten up a dull day like a small ripple of joy.

The life of ordinary office workers is almost like this.

During the meal, they chatted about a colleague who planned to leave the company soon. The timing was very strange. Why was it so sudden that he didn’t even want the year-end bonus?

Chi Xueyan forgot after listening, and didn't care.

He couldn't even remember what the doctor's full name was.

After talking about the clinic gossip, they also talked about Wanjia Media in the building next door, which became more and more famous. An advertisement made a long-lost singer famous. All the stars who came to talk about cooperation.

The company that moved here after changing its young leader has not only improved internally, but also changed externally.

On the open space next to the office building, a construction area was blocked, and it was said that something was going to be built, but no one knew the details for the time being.

Chi Xueyan didn't know either.

All he knew was that the construction area could be seen from his office window.

Most likely it was He Qiao's decision.

He Qiao didn't send him a menu today, probably because the strawberries were too deliberate.

So Chi Xueyan was going to wait for the next unintentional surprise.

After dinner, he and his colleagues took a leisurely walk on Maple Leaf Road. The winter sky was like a pure diamond, clear and mysterious.

Tonight Chi Xueyan has to work overtime again, and He Qiao has to socialize, so he can't come and wait for him, and he can't have dinner together.

When the day's work was finally over, Chi Xueyan ate a simple meal downstairs and went home exhausted.

Pushing open the door, there was an empty silence.

The brightly colored home rarely makes people feel deserted.

Apart from the absence of He Qiao, there was another difference.

Chi Xueyan saw an exquisite gift box on the dining table, which should be a gift for him.

Because it is the same style as the box that contained strawberries yesterday, but the size is smaller.

The moment he opened the box, there was a smile in his eyes, and it seemed that even the fatigue on his body had disappeared a lot.

It still contained strawberries, but only one.

People who are close to him can basically find that he likes weird things, and He Qiao obviously can see it too.

So this is a strawberry with a strange shape, which is hard to forget after seeing it.

The round upper body, with two pointed lower edges, resembles healthy and full teeth.

At the same time, there is a note folded in half and a coin in the box.

Chi Xueyan picked up the coin first, then opened the note with a little surprise.

There are two lines of familiar handwriting on it, clear and powerful.

[I didn't think of a suitable reason, so I paid the fine in advance. ]

[Can you continue to come over for lunch at noon tomorrow? ]
