Chapter 1354: I Rushed Over in a Hurry, and This Is Your Attitude?

~4 min read 757 words

Sister Zheng heard Chuxue's words and couldn't help but smile: "You always know what to say. We should visit each other often when we have time in the future."

Chuxue was just about to reply when Fu Yan Cheng tugged her: "Wife, I'm thirsty. Pour me a glass of water."

Though the two had not been married long, they already had great understanding. Thinking of their hasty arrival, she said, "Right, I need to go back and pack some things to bring over; otherwise, you won't even get to drink your water."

Hearing this, Sister Zheng said, "Your husband, Company Commander Fu, moved in this morning, yet you're so inattentive."

The moment she spoke, Fu Yan Cheng objected first: "Sister, my wife came from the city, and some things happened this morning, so we didn't have time to attend to it."

Sister Zheng clearly didn't quite believe it: "It's already afternoon, and the hospital isn't far from the family compound. You're too..."

Before she could finish, she heard Company Commander Zheng say displeasedly, "Enough. I don't need your care here. Hurry back and look after our son."

Sister Zheng still wanted to say something, but Company Commander Zheng gave her no chance: "Either you stay here to care for me, or you go back right now to look after our son."

Sister Zheng shot a glance at her husband: "I rushed over in such a hurry, and this is the attitude you show?"

Company Commander Zheng, concerned with saving face, simply stared at his wife.

Seeing him like that, Sister Zheng feared provoking his anger and turned to say, "Then I'll go back and make something delicious for you. Later, have Xiao Wu come to the house to pick it up."

Without another word, she turned and left.

Chuxue watched, utterly stunned. What was going on? She just left like that?

Seeing Chuxue's expression, Fu Yan Cheng said, "Come, I'll walk you out and see if there's a vehicle that can give you a ride."

As the two reached the doorway, they saw Regiment Commander Ye Mingli. "Greetings, Regiment Commander Ye."

Ye Mingli looked at him: "You're injured; you should be lying down properly."

The last time they hosted a gathering, this man was there too. Judging by the tone of their conversation, it was clear the two had a good relationship.

Fu Yan Cheng asked directly, "Are you heading back?"

Regiment Commander Ye nodded: "Yes."

"Did you drive here, or did you come on foot?"

Regiment Commander Ye glanced at Chuxue beside Fu Yan Cheng: "Say what you mean directly."

Fu Yan Cheng looked at Chuxue: "My wife needs to pick up some daily necessities. May we hitch a ride in your vehicle?"

Regiment Commander Ye nodded: "Then let's go. I'll see this kindness through; later, I'll have Xiao Jiang bring her back."

Fu Yan Cheng was now reassured: "Alright. I'll treat you to a meal later."

Since Fu Yan Cheng had already arranged it with him, she naturally didn't put on airs. Although the military hospital wasn't too far from the family compound, if there was a vehicle to hitch a ride in, who would willingly walk back?

Regiment Commander Ye kept his word. Upon reaching the military unit, he got straight out of the car: "Xiao Jiang, you will be responsible for taking her back to the hospital later, then returning the vehicle."

After the driver acknowledged, he drove Chuxue directly to her doorstep.

As soon as she got out of the car, Mo Ruhua ran over: "Chuxue, how is your husband, Company Commander Fu?"

While opening the main gate, Chuxue replied, "He injured his back again. The situation is still manageable, but he needs IV fluids for anti-inflammation at the hospital for a few days. I came back to fetch some things. I can't talk long right now."

Seeing the car stop and not leave, Mo Ruhua understood: "You go ahead and handle things. If you need help, just say the word."

Chuxue nodded: "Thank you."

After a quick tidy-up, she hurriedly got back into the car.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xiao Wu helped carry the items to the ward before leaving.

Chuxue took out a cup and handed a book to Fu Yan Cheng, who was lying on the bed: "I brought a book to keep you company. Read it while I go fetch water."

This small gesture made Company Commander Zheng in the next bed deeply envious. His own wife had visited, yet she hadn't given him a single thought.
