Chapter 1349: Wife, I Was Wrong

Liu Chuxue heard him say this, felt both heartache and helplessness, and glared at him: "Why are you so clingy? Don't forget you're an injured patient right now."

Fu Yan Cheng knew his wife was feeling sorry for him: "Wife, I've been careful all along. It's not as serious as the doctor said. I..."

He wanted to say more, but Liu Chuxue cut him off: "What do you mean 'I'? How long has it been? This is already the second time your back has been injured. Even a back made of iron couldn't withstand this kind of torment."

Thinking of Fu Yan Cheng's back being injured twice, each time so terribly, tears suddenly welled in the corners of her eyes.

This made Fu Yan Cheng feel terribly heartbroken; he became somewhat at a loss and said: "Wife, I was wrong. I'll go back to the ward right now. Don't cry."

Seeing him like this, Liu Chuxue suddenly felt soft-hearted and pointed to a stool not far away: "Sit there and wait."

Fu Yan Cheng heard Liu Chuxue's words: "Okay."

While speaking, he raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I'm sorry, wife. I made you worry."

Liu Chuxue looked up at him: "As long as you know that."

Helping him sit on the stool over there, she then walked back to the stove: "Now that you're married, it's not just me; there will be our children in the future. I only wish for you to be safe and sound."

Fu Yan Cheng slowly clenched the fist by his side: "Wife, I understand."

He had heard many families in the residential compound quarreling; either someone despised their husband for not providing the life they wanted, or despised their husband for not promoting as fast as others. What his wife had just said warmed his heart, but the more it did, the more he wanted to give her the best. He couldn't help but think in his heart that he must earn merits more often in the future so his wife wouldn't have to envy others.

The two chatted on and off.

Seeing the chicken soup was almost ready, Liu Chuxue turned to look at Fu Yan Cheng: "I'll go tell Director Du, and then we'll head back to the ward."

If it weren't for the doctor saying she needed to receive intravenous fluids at the hospital for a few days to ensure the wound didn't get inflamed, she would have wanted to take him home right away; living in the hospital was truly inconvenient in every way.

Just as she was preparing to walk out, she saw Director Du approaching hurriedly with a man wearing a Zhongshan suit: "Director Du, I was just thinking of looking for you."

Seeing Fu Yan Cheng there, a hint of awkwardness flashed in Director Du's eyes as he asked: "Is there something you need help with?"

Liu Chuxue waved her hand: "No, no. I just wanted to tell you that I came in a hurry and didn't bring bowls or chopsticks for eating. Could I borrow one from your canteen? Also, I'll return this clay pot to you later."

Director Du was also a smooth operator: "Understood, understood. Our canteen has lunch boxes. I'll bring one over for you to use for now."

After speaking, he glanced awkwardly at Fu Yan Cheng sitting not far away, cleared his throat lightly, and said: "Um, Company Commander Fu, Comrade Xiao, um, I came here to ask a favor."

Liu Chuxue saw his gaze drifting toward the clay pot and guessed somewhat: "What is it?"

Director Du pointed to the anxious-looking man beside him: "This is a distant relative of mine. He and his wife went to the cannery today to handle some business. Unexpectedly, the tractor they were riding fell into a ditch. His wife injured her leg, but most importantly, she is more than seven months pregnant. The doctor said there are signs of miscarriage and told him to get some nutritious things for his wife to try and save the baby."

"Company Commander Fu, Comrade Xiao, they've come begging to me, and I have no choice. I can only swallow my pride and beg you. Could you spare a bowl of chicken soup for them to get through this meal? The main thing is, even if we could exchange for a chicken, it would still take time to stew it."
