Chapter 230: Are You Nuts?

Qin Wenhao’s eyes never left Fu Mingxue.

It was as if he could never get enough of looking at her.

He still remembered the moment he collapsed. He hadn’t thought of anyone else; his entire mind had been filled with her.

And just before he closed his eyes, his only thought was, ’If I die, what will she do?’

In that moment, a powerful will to live surged within him.

He wanted to live!

He wanted to spend a lifetime with her!

He wanted to have children with her!

He couldn’t die!

And now, he really was alive.

And she was here, right by his side, so impossibly gentle.

As Fu Mingxue moistened his lips, she felt his intense gaze on her.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Does something hurt? I’ll go get the doctor—"

Qin Wenhao’s hand shot out and grabbed her wrist.

"—Don’t go!"

"I’m fine!"

"Nothing hurts—"

"I still want the doctor to come check on you. Don’t worry, I’ll be right back."

Having only just woken up, Qin Wenhao had limited strength, and Fu Mingxue easily pried his hand away before hurrying out.

’What...?’

His gaze followed her until she disappeared from view.

A moment later, Fu Mingxue returned with Doctor Xie.

When Qin Wenhao saw the female doctor examining him, his brow furrowed so tightly you could have crushed a mosquito in the crease.

Doctor Xie, of course, noticed his expression.

’Can’t he at least try to hide his disdain?’ she thought, so annoyed she almost laughed.

After completing the examination with a deadpan expression, she said, "The wound hasn’t torn open or become infected. We’ll just need to change the dressing tomorrow. Also, he shouldn’t make any sudden movements. If he needs to urinate, I suggest using a bedpan."

"He can have a little water, but not too much. We don’t want to strain his kidneys or make him need to urinate more often."

Qin Wenhao’s already pale face darkened completely.

’Can I request a different doctor?’

"Okay, I’ve got it," Fu Mingxue nodded.

Without another word, Doctor Xie left.

The moment she was gone, Qin Wenhao rasped, "Change... doc... tor..."

His voice was quiet, but Fu Mingxue was close enough to hear.

She looked at Qin Wenhao. "Don’t be ridiculous. She’s a genius, a brilliant doctor!"

This was the first time Qin Wenhao had ever seen his wife hold another woman in such high regard.

It wasn’t that he had anything against her.

He just wanted a male doctor.

"Change... doc... tor."

Fu Mingxue rolled her eyes at him. "What is your problem? She saved your life, you know. Why on earth would you want a different doctor? Or what, you look down on female doctors?"

’I don’t.’

"Behave. We’re not talking about changing doctors again. She’s perfectly fine! Besides, to a doctor, you’re a patient, not a man or a woman. Don’t be so dramatic."

"Now, have some water. Didn’t you say you were thirsty?"

’Is this really my wife?’

’Another woman is looking at her husband’s body, and she doesn’t mind at all?’

If Fu Mingxue knew what he was thinking, she’d have scoffed at him.

’What is wrong with him? What difference does it make if the doctor is a man or a woman? Male doctors deliver babies for women all the time.’

’And male doctors perform hemorrhoidectomies on women!’

She had just finished giving him some water when Director Xie arrived.

He saw Fu Mingxue. "Mr. Fu, you’re here too! Aren’t you busy with work? I brought someone to help take care of Qin Wenhao."

As he spoke, a man stepped out from behind him.

"Hello, Ma’am. My name is Zhao Liang. I’m here to take care of Qin Tuan."
