So You're Such A Doctor Song - Chapter 276
Chapter 276: I’ll Watch The Sunrise With You
“You weren’t like this yesterday. You were afraid of them being together for even a minute. Have you gone dumb from all the mosquito bites?” Li Shaobin said with frustration.
Song Chuyi glanced at him lightly and said, “If you’re going to continue talking to me and not drive, we’re going to lose Lin Yueli’s car.”
After his reminder, Li Shaobin started his car engine anxiously.
Although Lin Yueli was driving very quickly, they caught up with him soon.
They followed them all the way back to Northern City, following as they dropped Guan Ying off, then Ruan Yang, and lastly, Changqing.
Lin Yueli got out of the car to see Changqing off. He wanted to say a few more words to her initially but was interrupted by Li Shaobin’s car braking suddenly in front of them.
Song Chuyi got out with his hands in his pockets and a gentle smile was hanging on his face. “Thank you, Mr. Lin, for seeing my wife home. We troubled you last night.”
Lin Yueli suppressed his rage. After all, Changqing was still there and it wouldn’t be very nice to go head-on with him.
He simply ignored Song Chuyi and turned over to Changqing, saying in an even gentler tone, “Then we’ll hang out again next time. It was pretty fun last night. It reminded me of the days back in Mauritius.”
Changqing froze. On a day so warm, she could already feel a strong chill exuded by a certain someone beside her. She felt so guilty she wished she could hide into a hole.
“Goodbye, let’s keep in contact.” Lin Yueli glanced at Song Chuyi proudly, got into his car and left.
Changqing gripped onto her bag tightly and turned quickly, wanting to escape, but Song Chuyi held her arm and pulled her towards him. His eyes squinted dangerously. “You two knew each other in Mauritius?”
“That’s right. So what? It’s none of your business.” Changqing tried to push his arm away and escape but he tightened his grip on her.
Song Chuyi’s eyebrows were tightly knit and his face was livid. “No wonder you didn’t want to come back after playing in Mauritius for so many days and even blocked my number. Turns out you met a handsome boy there. You were living quite the life. No wonder you didn’t even pay attention to me when you came back. So you’ve long found your spare tire on the outside.”
“What are you babbling about?” Changqing was also irritated by what he said. Although everyone was saying they were going to divorce anyway and that she should prepare for her second spring when they were in Mauritius, she wasn’t the kind of person who could easily let go. At least she had never had any other thoughts when she met Lin Yueli. They were really just friends. “You’re so dirty. I’m not talking to you anymore.”
“Don’t you leave until you’ve made things clear.” Song Chuyi pushed her against the Yan Household’s wall, looking extremely mad. “Which stage did you two progress to in Mauritius? Why did he come to China? Was it because of you?”
“You’re really sick. Even if something did happen between me and somebody else in Mauritius, weren’t you keeping guard by Song Yunyang’s bed every day too? I didn’t even ask you what you two did behind my back at the hospital.” Changqing kicked his family jewels angrily. To think that her heart throbbed a little because he said he would watch the sunrise with her. What a waste of her feelings.
Song Chuyi curled up in pain and Changqing took the opportunity to grab her bag and run back into the Yan family’s villa.
“Haha, Old Song, is that part still in use?” Li Shaobin laughed out loud as he watched the scene in the car.
Song Chuyi glared at him and went back into the car as he endured the burning pain. He was so angry he didn’t want to talk.
“Old Song, do you need me to send you to the docs’?” Li Shaobin continued to gloat.
Song Chuyi scoffed. “I think you’re the one who needs a doctor. You haven’t even put yours to use; I wonder if it can still be used.”
Li Shaobin felt slightly embarrassed. This Old Song was too vicious.
Hu Zhi blanked out. “Boss, you’re… not a virgin, still… are you?”
“You’re the virgin.” Li Shaobin’s face was red from anger. “You haven’t even grown your hair out when I was spreading my wings and releasing my prowess, sweeping through the battlefield of women, back in the day.”
Hu Zhi shrank his neck in dejection from the lecturing and was bewildered. Why hadn’t he seen Li Shaobin spreading his wings and releasing his prowess on any woman despite being with Boss for so many years?
Song Chuyi swept a cold glance at a certain someone. Spreading his wings and releasing his prowess? How shameless. He probably hadn’t even spread his wings.
After the weekend, Changqing’s new drama had entered its promotional phase. As one of the main cast members, she had to go to places with the male leads, Ke Yongyuan and Yu Kai, to promote. If Chi Yining wasn’t one of the people in the group, Changqing would’ve had an easier job.
The days breezed by and very soon, it was the day of Yan Lei and Shen Lu’s wedding. On the eve of the wedding, Changqing took a plane to Yangzhou.
Compared to Changqing’s busy schedule, Song Chuyi had been spending his days leisurely.
He even dragged Zhan Mingwei along to shop at antique shops at night.
“What do you plan to get your father-in-law for his wedding gift?” Zhan Mingwei asked as he sent his wife messages through WeChat. “Are you really going? Aren’t you afraid you won’t be welcome? Don’t forget, Fu Yu will be there as well. He will definitely do whatever he can to put you down.”
“Do I look like the kind of person who would be afraid of that?” Song Chuyi stared at a tea set in the display cabinet and asked, “What do you think of this?”
“It’s alright.” Zhan Mingwei nodded.
Seeing that he nodded, Song Chuyi was about to ask the staff the price when his phone rang suddenly. It was a call from his mother.
Within a minute, Song Chuyi hung up and said solemnly, “I have to make a trip to Germany—my mom got into a car accident. The hospital gave me a call.”
Zhan Mingwei was stunned. “Was it serious?”
“I think her life’s not in danger but she needs someone to take care of her. Help me mail this tea set over. I’ll transfer you the money later. I’ve got to go.” Song Chuyi patted Zhan Mingwei on his shoulder and left hurriedly.
In the Old Residence in Yangzhou, Changqing woke up at 6 am. Yan Lei was dressed up in a suit and tie today. His hair was combed back neatly and he looked as though he had turned 10 years younger.
“Dad, you’re really handsome today.” Changqing praised him with a thumbs up.
“Handsome your head. Dad’s old.” Though Yan Lei said that, hearing a compliment from his daughter still put a smile on his face. “Quick, help Dad take a look at how’s Auntie Shen getting along.”
Changqing nodded and rushed over next door. This had to be the closest place a bride got married—she was right next door but it was exactly this thin wall that made the two of them pass each other by for more than 10 years before they finally got together.
When she pushed open the door to the Fu Household, Changqing saw Fu Yu standing under a pomegranate tree. The pomegranates were hanging on the tree in September but they weren’t fully ripe. He lifted his head up to look at the pomegranates above him. The tree spread overhead and cast a shadow on him. A hint of melancholy surfaced in his eyes.
Changqing was stunned for a while. The 17-year-old Fu Yu also liked to stand under the pomegranate tree to think. At that time, it really looked like a scenic painting in her eyes.
After today, he would become her brother.
Changqing couldn’t help but slow down her pace. “Brother Fu Yu, what are you thinking about?”
Fu Yu turned around. His gentle gaze rested on her. Today, she was dressed in a pink gown. Her left shoulder and collarbone were exposed in the air and she exuded femininity.
He felt a surge of pain rising from within but it was quietly suppressed by him again.
He sighed softly and pointed to the tree looming over him, saying gently, “From today onwards, I want to protect our Changqing just like this tree.”
Changqing was stunned and felt a faint bitterness rising up from within.
She nodded and smiled brightly. “In the future, I will have a father, Auntie Shen and also a brother who loves me. I think my life will be even more blissful.”
“What about Song Chuyi?” Fu Yu suddenly asked while staring into her eyes. “You two have separated for quite a while too. When are you going to get the divorce settled?”
Changqing’s smile slowly faded away and was replaced with a slight sense of frustration. Actually, she also understood they should be getting the divorce finalized, but it seemed that she was rather unwilling to face this problem every time. She couldn’t really tell why either.
Perhaps it was because of Song Chuyi’s stern warning to tell her to stay far away from Lin Yueli at the broadcasting station.
Perhaps it was that passionate kiss in the depths of the night in the mountain.
Or perhaps it was that day in front of the sunrise when he stood beside her and told her that he would watch the sunrise with her in the future.
Recently, every time she updated her Weibo, there was always a “delicate and beautiful 2” commenting underneath her posts.
She assumed it was him so she blacklisted that account, but a few days later, “delicate and beautiful 3” popped up.
Sometimes, he would like her posts and say something nice.
Other times, he would suddenly diss her and say something weird.
All in all, she felt that she had become a little perverted because of this person.
“I… I’ve been busy recently. We’ll talk about that in the future.” Changqing lowered her head and changed the topic softly. “I’m going to see how Auntie Shen’s doing.”
She ran into the house immediately.
Fu Yu looked at her retreating back with mixed feelings. His eyes were dim. Does she think I still don’t understand?
She’s trying to run away.
She would run away from it as long as she could. Perhaps it was because she still had some expectations. However, what else could she expect from a person like Song Chuyi?
In the bedroom, Changqing saw Shen Lu, who was sitting on a chair, wearing a traditional wedding robe and headdress.
Shen Lu seemed to have returned to the Shen Lu in Changqing’s childhood memories, beautiful and dignified. Shen Lu’s face was small to begin with and her features were very beautiful. Although she was in her 50s and had wrinkles on her face, her beauty was stunningly displayed by the skills of the makeup artist.
Changqing couldn’t help but feel envious. No wonder every woman would look forward to the day they got married.
Just not long ago, she was also longing for her wedding with Song Chuyi.
She liked Western-style weddings because she liked the white wedding dress.
She felt she would definitely look very beautiful wearing a wedding dress. She even imagined the look in Song Chuyi’s eyes when he saw her in a wedding dress. He would definitely be stunned. When that happened, he would definitely be proud to have married such a beautiful wife.
However, there would be no wedding now.
She could only feel secretly envious of others’ marriages.
“Changqing, why are you standing there?” Shen Lu turned around and beckoned her with a smile.
