My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 341
Chapter 341 Hesitation
When Mu Yu came to the Bureau in the morning, she saw the light of dawn on the eastern horizon. She thought that today was a sunny day, but she found that the sun had long disappeared when she came out. Instead, it was very gloomy. The blowing wind scattered the fallen branches, leaves, and dust.
This sudden change of weather made her feel more and more depressed. She looked outside through the parking lot. Qin Jinhuan’s car had not arrived yet.
Before she received the message, she never thought that the day would come for her and Qin Jinhuan to get a divorce. That day, she was so enraged with his attitude of wholeheartedly protecting Yin Anran that she proposed a divorce. She was irritated and frustrated with him. In spite of that, she loved him dearly and couldn’t let him go, and she understood his difficulties in not turning over the case at this time.
However, although she understood, she could not accept his difficulties. She had planned to use this as a reason to force herself to leave him, but she did not expect him to choose to turn himself in.
However, she did not want him to be punished by the law. She was in a dilemma now.
She paced in the courtyard for a long time last night and finally convinced herself not to look into the matter. Therefore, she came to the Bureau early in the morning to stop Rong Jian and others from confessing everything to Gu Zhaohui. She planned to turn this matter over, but she could not forgive Qin Jinhuan’s actions. She did not know how to face him later, but to her surprise, he would take the initiative to ask her for a divorce.
At this moment, she felt complicated emotions surging in her mind and smiled bitterly.
Even the weather changed from a bright sunny day to gloomy rain. Was it a sign that her marriage was going to end?
A gust of wind suddenly blew against her face that was mixed with dust and sand. She instinctively covered her mouth and moved sideways to avoid the debris, but her eyes failed to avoid the invasion of the dust and sand. Suddenly, her eyes ached, and she could not control her tears. She quickly blinked and rushed into the guard room.
“Doctor Mu? What happened to you?” The guard hurried to ask as he recognized her.
“Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.” Mu Yu didn’t have time to explain. She rushed directly into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and washed her eyes. Soon, the sand was washed out. However, the feeling of the foreign objects irritated her eyes, and it caused her to shed tears continuously.
When she came out of the bathroom, the guard, who was guarding the door, was shocked at the sight. He hurriedly expressed his concern carefully, “Doctor Mu, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. The sand got in my eyes. Thank you for your concern,” Mu Yu wiped her tears as she responded, forcing a smile to prove that she was telling the truth. To be honest, she was not in the mood to smile at this time.
“Good to know that you’re fine.” The guard smiled. “It was still sunny just now, but the wind suddenly blew. I think it’s about to rain soon.”
“Oh, no wonder they say that the weather in spring changes as easily as a child’s mood.”
“It is no longer spring. It is summer.”
“Oh? Is it summer? I didn’t even notice it,” Mu Yu said as she looked at the door. She was not in the mood to lament the passage of time.
The guard also looked out. “Are you going out to do something?”
“Yes.”
“Do you have an umbrella? It might rain later.”
“It’s okay. I’m waiting for someone to pick me up.”
“I have an umbrella, but I won’t be using it before I get off work anyway. Do you want to use it? I can lend it to you.”
“Thank you for your offer, but I don’t need it.”
The guard’s genuine and honest smile made Mu Yu feel a little touched. It also calmed down her agitated heart a little. Just as she was about to look away, she saw Qin Jinhuan’s car coming over, so she immediately turned and went out.
As soon as the car stopped, Qin Jinhuan got out of the car, opened the door, and stood on the side like a waiter, waiting for her to get in the car.
She would definitely have run over in high spirits if it were for any other time. However, her footsteps were a bit heavy at this time, and she was reluctant to look at him, so instead of getting into the door from his side, she went around the other side to open the door and get in.
The corners of Qin Jinhuan’s mouth twitched as if he was mocking himself, and then he got in the car and closed the door.
“Let’s go home first,” Mu Yu said anxiously.
Her identification book was locked in the safe, and they needed the book for the divorce.
“Go home? Young mistress, are you talking about Properous Manor?” Weng Yun, who was driving, stepped on the brake slightly and asked softly at the same time.
“Yes.”
“Aren’t you going to the hospital to pick up Old Master before going home?”
“Pick up Grandpa?!” Only then did Mu Yu recall the matter of Qin Xiaozhi being discharged from the hospital this morning, and she asked softly, “Are you guys going to pick me up to go to the hospital?”
“Yes.”
Bian Zijun immediately spoke after Wen Yun’s reply, “Young mistress, do you have an important thing to take? If you want, I can…”
“Forget it, it’s not something important. We can talk about it later.” Mu Yu, who knew that she had misunderstood Qin Jinhuan’s intention, felt relieved for some reason. She was worried that Qin Jinhuan would see through her mind, so she changed the subject, “It’s just a discharge gift for Grandpa. Never mind, I can give it to him when he comes home.”
“Oh, okay.” Weng Yun immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the hospital.
Although others were unaware of the fiasco, Mu Yu felt very depressed.
She did not expect that she would feel so awful when she misunderstood that he came to pick her up to get a divorce.
He not only did not mention anything about the divorce but also took her to the hospital for Grandpa’s discharge. Based on Grandpa’s current physical condition, they couldn’t tell him that she was having a divorce from Qin Jinhuan. It meant that she had to cooperate with Qin Jinhuan to pretend to be affectionate and sweet in front of Grandpa.
She didn’t mind the pretentious display of affection, but she couldn’t forgive herself for giving in to him.
She could think for Rong Jian and others and agreed to give up pursuing Yin Anran’s crime, but she could not convince herself to completely forgive Qin Jinhuan.
“You don’t want a divorce, yet you can’t forgive him. What exactly do you want?!” She thought to herself in her mind.
The rain had already started to fall. It was drizzling but very dense. It did not take long for the windows to be covered with small drops of rain. In an instant, the misty windows separated the scene inside and outside the car. She could not see anything clearly.
Mu Yu silently lowered her eyes and slowly turned to sit down. Out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently saw that Qin Jinhuan was maintaining the same posture as her, and his face seemed to be leaning on her side. She was extremely displeased and quickly retracted her gaze. She was about to close her eyes to rest, but she kept shedding tears because of the dust earlier. The napkin in her hand was already soaked. She could only take out another packet of tissue paper from her bag to wipe her tears.
Bian Zijun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, noticed her movements from the rearview mirror. He immediately turned back, but after a few seconds, he turned his head back, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mu Yu noticed Bian Zijun’s actions, but she did not explain anything. She just lowered her head and wiped her tears from time to time.
After a while, her hand was suddenly gripped tightly, and Qing Jinhuan’s voice that was full of guilt echoed, “Yu, I’m sorry for making you sad. If you’re angry, just vent it out on me. Please don’t hurt yourself. Don’t cry, okay?”
Did he think she was crying?
Mu Yu could not help but feel amused. She retracted her hand and glared at him. “Don’t touch me! So what if I cry? It’s none of your business.”
Qin Jinhuan’s hand was still frozen in midair. After a long while, he let out a long sigh. “I already called Rong Jian last night and told him everything. I made a deal with him. I will take Grandpa home first and then find an excuse to send him to West Bay. After that, I will turn myself in.”
“When are you going to get a divorce?” She felt that there was no way she could forgive him, so even if she didn’t mean it, she asked this question.
“I won’t divorce you.” Unlike his usual indifference, Qin Jinhuan lamented in a crisp and firm voice. “I’m sorry for hurting you. How can I divorce you before I make up for my mistake and be forgiven by you?”
Not expecting him to say this, she felt her heart soften a little, but she still hissed coldly, “I forgive you. Let’s divorce.”
Only when she was divorced, she would not be in a dilemma.
“Even if you can forgive me, I can’t forgive myself. Besides, I haven’t started to atone for my sins with practical actions, so I can’t divorce you now.”
“What practical actions?”
“My love and concern for you for the rest of my life.”
It turned out that he had never thought of divorcing her at all.
But she was not moved. It was because she knew that once he did not want to divorce, they would stay married, yet as long as she was with him, she would continue to live in conflict and resentment.
“You are going to jail. How can you care and love me?”
She deliberately did not tell him that Rong Jian and the others chose to drop the case because she wanted him to agree to a divorce.
In this matter, she abused her power along with Rong Jian for Qin Jinhuan. She had acted on an impulse previously, but now that she calmed down, she felt as if she had betrayed the leaders’ trust in her. She felt that she had lost her professional ethics and her conscience. Only by completely distancing herself from Qin Jinhuan could she feel a little better with the fairness and just in her heart.
“We’ll be around.” Bian Zijun quickly interrupted, but after he finished speaking, he realized that he had misspoken, so he hurriedly explained to Qin Jinhuan, “Boss, I mean that if you leave for a few days, we will take good care of Young Mistress and atone for your sins on your behalf until she is satisfied and until you come back.”
He felt that “going to jail” sounded vulgar and crude, so he changed it to “leave for a few days”.
Mu Yu ignored Bian Zijun’s words and asked Qin Jinhuan, “This matter is so detestable. You’ll be in prison for at least ten to twenty years. Why don’t you want to divorce me? You’re wasting my time. I don’t think you’re doing this because you love me. Actually, you hate me and want to drag me to hell with you, right?”
This sarcastic and malicious speculation hurt Qin Jinhuan a little, but he still explained seriously, “No one loves you more than I do. Only I can give you a happy married life.”
Hearing this, she immediately laughed. “If you really love me, do we have to talk about divorce here today?”
Her remark poked at his sore spot, and his gazes instantly became dull. “I don’t know how to explain this verbally. I can only let time prove my true love to you.”
Seeing the hurt in his eyes, she turned her face away and didn’t say a word because she could not bear to see it. She was worried that she would provoke him with all sorts of sarcastic remarks.
He did not say anything anymore. The car had already stopped at the hospital door, and they gloomily got out of the car.
He knew very well that all the words were powerless and meaningless at this time. Only practical and physical actions were the most convincing.
She also got out of the car, brewing her emotions to face Qin Xiaozhi as she walked.
When they were about to reach the ward, he suddenly held her hand. She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tightly and whispered, “Grandpa is here.” Only then did she realize that a group of people were coming, and the person walking in the front was Qin Xiaozhi, who had lived in the hospital for several days.
“Grandpa, we are here to pick you up.” She took the opportunity to push Qin Jinhuan away and faced Qin Xiaozhi with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaozhi ignored her and went straight to Qin Jinhuan, pointing at his nose and scolding, “You bastard, what did you do to Yu?!”
Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu were shocked at the same time.
