So You're Such A Doctor Song - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Praising Your Acting Skills

Song Chuyi stroked his chin. “Then did I save a sum of money by winning that TV just now?”

Changqing had a face full of suspicion. “Are you sure you didn’t tell Chief Zhan to tamper with it?”

“Do you think I needed to do that just for a TV?” Song Chuyi even felt worthless hearing himself say that. “If I wanted to tamper with it, why didn’t I get the first prize? Why must I get the second prize?”

Changqing thought about it and found that it made sense but his luck was way too good. “Right, Chuchu, what did you think of my performance tonight?”

“Mm.” Song Chuyi nodded while driving. “Your portrayal of the village peasant was on point.”

Changqing smiled radiantly. However, she found something was amiss after a while.” Are you praising me or dissing me?”

“… Praising your acting skills.” Song Chuyi looked forward seriously.

Changqing was at ease again and moved over to give him a peck on his cheek. “Chuchu, you really touched me tonight.”

Song Chuyi’s lips curled into a gentle smile. He held her hand and said softly, “You said something right. There are surprises everywhere in life.”

“Mm?” Changqing looked at him in bewilderment.

“You’re my surprise.” Song Chuyi glanced at her with a smile.

Changqing suddenly smiled sweetly like a blossoming flower.

Song Chuyi didn’t say anything else, only holding her hand quietly on the way home.

She didn’t know that for a few years, he thought he wouldn’t be able to walk out of the past and thought he would have to continue living in the dark period of Song Yunyang and Song Chulang.

For a few years, he thought he was timid and cowardly.

But she still fell in love with him without any regrets.

Some people said that sometimes, parents wouldn’t want their children to follow their footsteps and would try to prevent that from happening, but that would instead make their children go down the same path even more.

He had already prepared himself for a life of imperfection but she had given him a perfection that belonged to him.

When they got back to the Yan Household, although it was already the wee hours of the morning, Changqing was still in an exceptionally good mood due to her excitement.

Song Chuyi carried her out of the shower. The water droplets on his chest dripped on to her. His warm and ambiguous breath blew on her face gently. “You’re still not sleeping? Should I do something then?”

Changqing turned her face away shyly. “No, I’m going to sleep.”

Song Chuyi flipped around and carried her up to make her sit on his waist as he sighed, “We haven’t gone for a ride for a long time. Let’s try it tonight.”

Changqing shuddered all of a sudden. She wanted to escape but it was too late. In the end, she was still tortured by him until very late at night.

On a night where no one was at home, the two could do whatever they wanted, however they wanted.

After New Year’s day, it was soon the eve of the Lunar New Year.

The couple took some time before Lunar New Year’s eve to take a few sets of wedding photos in Northern City. They booked a trip to England to do their wedding photoshoot at Honey, but it had to be pushed back because Song Chuyi had gone to Germany and after that, there wasn’t much time left to go to England in the winter, so they settled for doing the shoot in Northern City’s countryside for two days.

This made Changqing very unhappy and Song Chuyi consoled her for a few days, even promising her to go overseas to do the wedding photoshoot in a couple of days to make up for the previous one before she would let the matter rest.

On the day before Lunar New Year’s eve, various large companies had started to let their employees go for the holidays successively. Changqing’s broadcasting station was the latest to release them. After attending the company’s annual general meeting on the 29th, Changqing and Song Chuyi took a flight on the 30th back to Yangzhou. As for Robben and Lolita, they were sent to Li Shaobin’s house.

There were very little people on the flight on the 30th. When Changqing was waiting for the plane to take off, she grabbed Song Chuyi’s hand and took a photo out of boredom. She uploaded the photo on Weibo: I’ll wish everyone a Happy Lunar New Year in advance. I’m going back home to spend the Lunar New Year with my darling.

Everyone seemed quite bored at home since they didn’t need to work over the Lunar New Year and within a minute, there were thousands of comments on her post.

Eggroll: Wow, how blissful. The diamond on our Qing Bao’s finger is so huge and dazzling. I’m certain that Qing Bao must have married a tall, rich and handsome man. I can rest assured now.

Favorite Cheese: I can suddenly tell that Qing Bao’s husband must be very handsome. According to research, a man with such long and clean fingers must be tall and handsome. Drooling.

The Butterfly Who Breathes: What am I supposed to do? I think I’ve fallen in love with Qing Bao’s husband’s hand.

Changqing wanted to show off her pink diamond on her hand initially. She didn’t think that everyone would end up falling in love with her Dr. Song’s hand.

She picked up Song Chuyi’s hand angrily and took a close look. She had always known that he had pretty hands and perhaps it was because he was constantly holding a scalpel that his fingers were really long and slim like fresh bamboo.

Changqing was slowly mesmerized by his hand once again as she looked at it. “Chuchu, why are you so good-looking everywhere?”

Song Chuyi swept a despising glance at his bewitched wife and said, “There’s nothing I can do about it. You’re lucky to have accidentally chanced upon a treasure.”

“Shameless.” Changqing leaned on his shoulder. “Chuchu, I feel like you’ve effectively married into my family. You’re even going over to my house for the Lunar New Year.”

“Mm. There’s nothing bad about living off my wife.” Song Chuyi looked at the news on his phone and replied nonchalantly, “I’ve saved up a lot on living expenses ever since I found you this year.”

Changqing was stunned. After she digested his words, she was suddenly unhappy.

So there was a price to pay to have your partner marry into your family.

She thought about it and found it to be true. Song Chuchu didn’t even have to buy groceries and the utility bills for Lakeview Residence every month were pathetic. Whereas for her, other than food expenses, the most significant expense was Robben and Lolita who cost at least $2000 in expenditures. Sending them to the pet shop to do some spa services and upkeeping occasionally would also cost her a few hundred, and when she was in a good mood, she would even buy a few sets of clothes for them…

Changqing suddenly realized that she had spent a large sum of money on those two dogs in the most recent months.

Changqing suddenly felt she had suffered a huge loss.

She frowned with frustration. “The children must have my family name in the future. Mm, I’ve already thought about it. My child would be called Yan Wo.”

Bird’s nest (1. Also pronounced as Yan Wo in Mandarin)…

Song Chuyi’s brows twitched. To think that she could even come up with that. He was suddenly a little worried for the child’s future. “Whatever you want. While we’re at it, you can take charge of the child’s daily needs, education fees, and milk powder.”

“I was just joking. I think the child should have your family name,” Changqing quickly said. She could hardly support herself and two dogs. If she still had to support a baby, she would be broke. “Let’s call our child Song Yanwo.”

Bird’s nest gift (1. Pronounced Song Yan Wo in Mandarin)…

Song Chuyi continued to play with his phone silently. He had already decided to ignore her.

While Changqing became even more excited thinking about it and increasingly found the name Yanwo to sound more pleasing.

Hence, she said again, “Chuchu, I’ve thought about it. In the future, we’ll have a son and a daughter. Our daughter’s nickname can be Yanwo while our son can be called Yuchi (1. Shark’s fin in Mandarin). What do you think? Don’t you find it very meaningful?”

Song Chuyi: “…”

Luckily she didn’t say Baoyu (1. Abalone in Mandarin).

When they arrived at the old residence in Yangzhou, Grandma Yan couldn’t help but smile broadly when she saw them and kept saying that it had been so many years since the Yan Household had been so lively. She kept insisting that she would personally make some crabmeat balls and braised pork belly.

In the evening, Song Chuyi looked around left and right and couldn’t help but ask Shen Lu, “Where’s Fu Yu? Isn’t he coming?”

“He’s gone to the States to spend the Lunar New Year with his dad.” Shen Lu didn’t expect him to ask about Fu Yu and was a little shocked.

Song Chuyi fell silent for a while before explaining, “Don’t misunderstand; I just thought it would be quite meaningless to spend Lunar New Year alone.”

No matter how much he disliked Fu Yu and disliked how close he was to Changqing, perhaps somewhere inside him, Song Chuyi still sympathized with Fu Yu.

After all, they were both from a broken family. He could really understand what it felt like to not be able to spend the Lunar New Year with your family.

He couldn’t oppose to Fu Yu spending the Lunar New Year with Shen Lu just because he disliked Fu Yu.

Shen Lu was shocked and moved. She said with a smile, “His dad told him to go over. He didn’t go over to visit his dad last year.”

Song Chuyi nodded. Just then, Changqing came running out of the kitchen with a bowl in her hands. “Chuchu, quick, try some of the meatballs my grandma made. They’re really good.”

Grandma Yan’s meatballs were indeed really… too much. Song Chuyi couldn’t refuse her warm request and could only finish the meatballs with difficulty under Changqing’s passionate gaze.

“They’re good, aren’t they?” Grandma Yan walked out of the kitchen and watched him with a face full of expectation. Her gaze and look were quite similar to Changqing.

He nodded, not being able to bring himself to disappoint the elderly.

Because of that, Grandma Yan thought he loved it and during the reunion dinner, she made him two large meatballs filled with meat and crabmeat. When he felt a little uncomfortable from the bloatedness, he turned his head over and saw Changqing holding onto a meatball and a piece of braised pork, chewing on them deliciously…

He thought he’d better keep her under control in the future. Otherwise, she would get high blood pressure like Grandma Yan.

Also on Lunar New Year’s eve, in a hotel in Northern City, the Song Family had booked two tables for their reunion dinner. It was also very lively.

Grandma Song had many children. Although some of them had migrated overseas, they could still get a 70% attendance rate for Lunar New Year.

Once there are a lot of people present, Song Huaisheng wouldn’t feel so uncomfortable because of Song Chuyi’s absence during the reunion dinner.

After a few rounds of drinks, Song Qiaoqiao’s steamed crab was snatched by a cousin a year younger than her. She pouted unhappily and said, “You can have it; what’s the big deal? I can have all I want by the beach at Brother Chuchu’s wedding in a few days.”

Her voice was loud and clear. After she said that, the entire suite fell silent. Fourth Aunt ran over quickly to cover her daughter’s mouth. She blinked her eyes and suddenly thought she might’ve just caused trouble. On the way there, Dad and Mom had already reminded her several times not to mention Brother Chuyi’s wedding dinner. In the end, she still let the cat out of the bag.

“What wedding?” Song Huaisheng’s face fell. “Chuyi is having a wedding dinner?”

There were quite a few people in the suite who knew about it. Everyone didn’t say a word about it and right now, they had awkward expressions on their faces.

Song Zhengru was considered highly regarded and he spoke after clearing his throat: “Yes, around the middle of the month in Sanya.”

“Why don’t we know anything about it?” Grandma Song stood up angrily. “Do all of you know?”

Song Junle laughed dryly. “I thought you knew. Hehe.”

“Don’t you hehe me.” Song Huaisheng was very sharp. He asked glumly, “Did you keep it from us on purpose? Have you all received invitations?”

Everyone looked at Song Zhengru silently.

Song Zhengru felt his head hurting and he said straightforwardly, “Chuyi did give us an invitation and we hid it from you because we were afraid you’d be unhappy…”

“I am unhappy right now.” Song Huaisheng gulped down a few cups of white wine and his face flushed red. He said agitatedly, “I am his dad, yet he didn’t even call us to attend his wedding? Chulang, did he tell you?”
