Chapter 262: My Husband is Peerless!

~8 min read 1,501 words

"It's still best to have one's own husband!"

"Where does that come from?"

"One's own husband can be kissed and hugged. Other people's husbands can only be watched with longing."

"Police Officer Du, your way of thinking is a bit dangerous. How can you set your sights on someone else's husband?"

Du Xi couldn't help but burst into a laugh.

"I wouldn't look down on anyone else's husband! In my eyes, my husband is peerless and smells wonderful all over. Every time I get close to you, I can't help but want to take a few more deep breaths."

As she spoke, Du Xi tilted her head slightly, gave Tang Ye's arm a light bite, and then stared at him with a mischievous grin, her eyes full of love.

Tang Ye only felt an itch on his arm; he didn't feel any pain.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly patted his forehead. "Don't be in a rush; I have something for you."

A flash of disappointment crossed Du Xi's face as she muttered, "What is it?"

Watching Du Xi's expression, Tang Ye was both annoyed and amused; he reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace.

Du Xi took the necklace, her eyes instantly lighting up, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face as she said, "Wow, so beautiful! Help me put it on quickly."

Tang Ye walked behind Du Xi and carefully helped her put on the necklace.

Du Xi held the pendant, gesturing with it in front of her, muttering, "The butterfly shape is really pretty. Is it very expensive?"

"My mom bought this. I'm just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. My mom is reluctant to spend money on herself, but when it comes to you, she isn't stingy at all."

The corners of Du Xi's mouth turned up as she said happily, "Next time, I'll be sure to spend some money on Mom."

In reality, this necklace was carefully selected and bought for Du Xi by Tang Ye himself.

The reason he said his mother bought it was because he wanted to help bring the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law closer together.

To be a qualified husband and avoid becoming a sandwich between mother and daughter-in-law, ensuring there is no conflict between them, one has to put in some effort and use one's brain.

"Don't move!" Du Xi suddenly cupped Tang Ye's face in her hands and said in surprise, "How did you get a spot on your chin?"

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Really? What, are you disgusted by me?"

Du Xi hurriedly shook her head, though her expression revealed a hint of worry as she said, "No, I just think you look more manly."

Even so, she quickly picked up some cosmetics, carefully applied spot-removing cream to Tang Ye's face, and then earnestly applied moisturizer.

Tang Ye truly felt Du Xi's care and obediently let her fuss over him.

"All right, after my 'rescue,' your handsome face is finally saved!" Du Xi said, her face flushed and her smile radiant.

"So now can you teach me the Women's Self-Defense Technique?" Tang Ye asked, full of anticipation.

Du Xi's face turned even redder; she gave Tang Ye a sharp look and muttered softly, "Come on then, let's see how you make your move, and then I'll think about how to counter it..."

"I once saw a video of a little boy and a little girl wrestling. The little boy was clearly being suppressed by the little girl the whole time, and the expression on his face looked very painful, but as a viewer, I was dying to be that little boy at the time. Now I finally understand why..."

Half an hour later.

Du Xi carefully tidied up the table.

She still had thin skin.

She stubbornly felt the broken bed made too much noise.

It wasn't suitable as the main battlefield for exchanging the Women's Self-Defense Technique.

Tang Ye, on the other hand, had a flash of inspiration and suggested changing the venue!

The table was indeed sturdier than the bed.

But, it was just a bit hard on the legs and waist.

The next day.

Just as dawn was breaking, Tang Ye arrived at the hospital early.

He pushed open the door to the nursing room on tiptoe, only to see Jiang Rou still fast asleep.

Tang Ye immediately retreated carefully.

At this time, Jiang Jing had already woken up and was sitting by the bed.

Tang Ye walked up and said politely, "Mayor Jiang, I will take you for your rehabilitation therapy."

Jiang Jing nodded slightly, her eyes full of gratitude: "It's hard on you to watch over me every day; it's too much trouble for you. You could have Zhan Shiqi or Xiao Fu replace you; you don't have to do everything yourself."

A sincere smile appeared on Tang Ye's face as he said, "I'm not quite at ease having them take care of you."

Jiang Jing was slightly startled, then beamed and said, "You are indeed meticulous. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be as accustomed to it."

"Thank you for your recognition. You are recovering quite well. I asked my father, and you will be able to be discharged in another month. However, after discharge, you will still need to come for regular check-ups; it will take at least half a year for your body to gradually recover."

Jiang Jing sighed softly, "Only when a person reaches a certain age do they increasingly understand the importance of the body. Little Tang, you must take this as a warning; from now on, you must focus on maintaining a good physique. If a person wants to achieve something, abundant energy is crucial."

"I have been sticking to running for exercise," Tang Ye replied with a smile.

"Oh? It seems my understanding of you is not deep enough." A flash of approval crossed Jiang Jing's eyes.

Tang Ye then escorted Jiang Jing to the rehabilitation department.

For Jiang Jing, those seemingly simple and ordinary movements required tremendous effort.

Every lift of her hand, every step she moved, was accompanied by a slight tremor, but Jiang Jing kept her teeth clenched, insisting on completing every rehabilitation exercise.

Tang Ye watched from the side, secretly admiring her.

Those who can achieve a career in officialdom mostly have willpower that exceeds that of ordinary people.

After finishing the rehabilitation therapy, Tang Ye sent Jiang Jing back to her ward.

His cell phone rang.

It was a call from Wan Ming.

After asking Jiang Jing for permission, Tang Ye walked quickly to the hospital entrance.

Standing beside Wan Ming was a young man who looked to be under twenty years old.

Beside the young man was a girl of seventeen or eighteen, thin and frail, with delicate features and a pale complexion, looking sickly all over.

Wan Ming saw that Tang Ye had arrived.

He introduced him to the young man: "This is Section Chief Tang; his father is the Vice President of the hospital, and he has already arranged an Expert for you."

Tang Ye smiled and reached out his hand to greet the young man: "You must be Xiao Si, right? Bureau Chief Wan mentioned you to me. Come, I will take you to see the Expert in internal medicine."

Because they had called ahead, they met with the Expert very quickly.

The Expert asked about the girl's condition in detail and wrote out a series of examination forms.

Xiao Si took the examination forms, and when he saw the itemized costs on them, a look of distress appeared on his face.

Just the preliminary examinations would cost a large sum of money, which was undoubtedly a heavy burden.

Wan Ming stepped forward and paid the fees.

Xiao Si's eyes were full of gratitude, and he hurriedly said: "Bureau Chief Wan, I've made you spend money again. I will definitely pay this money back to you."

"You brat, don't pull that stuff with me. You definitely have to pay the money back, but I hope you earn it through legitimate means." Wan Ming patted Xiao Si on the shoulder and said half-jokingly.

A complicated smile appeared on Xiao Si's face.

After about two hours, the examination reports finally came out.

The Expert took the reports and, after studying them carefully, his expression gradually became grave.

Tang Ye signaled to Wan Ming with his eyes: "Take Xiaoshuang outside for a moment."

Wan Ming understood, and he led the girl out of the ward.

The Expert sighed helplessly, looked at Xiao Si, and said slowly: "Judging from the blood count analysis, it is highly likely that this girl is suffering from leukemia."

Upon hearing the word "leukemia," Xiao Si froze instantly, looking at the Expert in disbelief.

Immediately after, he fell to his knees in front of the Expert with a "thump."

"Doctor, I beg you, you must cure her.

I am willing to trade my life for hers..."
