Chapter 52 - 52: Please Stay Away From My Son
Shu Pan’s gaze trembled, but she remained silent. She was too tired to explain and managed to free herself from Wen Chi’s embrace.
Upon hearing Wen Chi address Shu Pan that way, Tong Fei couldn’t help but smile, saving, “Haha, I didn’t expect you and Dr. Wen to be so close. I had no idea. We must get to know each other better another day. You two can chat, and
I won’t disturb you.”
Satisfied with the answer, Tong Fei hastily turned to Gu Shaoting’s ward.
As Tong Fei left, Shu Pan turned around to leave as well.
“Hey, are you just going to leave like that?” Wen Chi looked at her, furrowing his eyebrows slightly.
Shu Pan didn’t look back, and calmly said, “Sir, we’re strangers. We didn’t know each other before, and we won’t know each other in the future. I’m leaving.”
Wen Chi stepped in front of her, his tone light and lazy, “You helped me once, so I owe you a favor. If you need help, just say it. After all, acquaintances are fate. How about becoming friends?”
He lowered his gaze slightly, capturing the delicate features of her face, a playful smile flickering in his eyes.
“No need, let’s just treat each other as strangers if we meet again,” Shu Pan said lightly, pushed his hand away, opened the door, and walked out. Her slim figure carried a heavy sense of loneliness.
Wen Chi didn’t chase after her, withdrawing his hand, tapping the table with a deep interest, his handsome face adorned with a deeper smile. He muttered softly, “Such an interesting woman.”
Back in Gu Shaoting’s ward, Tong Fei was still smiling, casually saying, “I really didn’t expect Shu Pan to be so familiar with Dr. Wen. Dr. Wen is a well-known obstetrician and gynecologist in this hospital. They really seem like a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.”
She spoke nonchalantly, but her gaze lingered on the man’s face, not shifting for a moment.
Gu Shaoting sat on the bed, his expression unreadable. His pitch-black eyes appeared calm yet profound, concealing his inner turmoil. Upon hearing Tong Fei’s words, his heart had already been thrown into chaos.
Since when did Shu Pan know Dr. Wen? Among the people she knew, there seemed to be no one with the surname Wen, let alone a doctor. Could they have just met?
There were many doubts in his heart, but he kept them concealed. Clad in a hospital gown, his tall and lean figure remained unparalleled in its handsomeness.
“What Dr. Wen?” Song Can couldn’t help but ask.
“I saw Shu Pan hugging a doctor when I went out. I asked, and it turns out he’s Dr. Wen Chi, the head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department in this hospital,” Tong Fei added, her tone exaggerating the situation.
“What? Hugging?” Song Can exclaimed.
“Mom, why don’t you both leave for now?” Gu Shaoting’s voice was heavy as he addressed Song Can and Tong Fei. Their constant surprises were giving him a headache.
“Alright, let’s go, Feifei,” Song Can huffed, pulling open the door.
As they walked out of the room, they saw Shu Pan at the corner and Song Can quickly approached her without a word. With a swift motion, her hand slapped Shu Pan’s face, who was caught off guard and stumbled back a step, covering her stinging cheek with her hand. It wasn’t until she noticed Tong Fei behind Song Can that she finally understood what had happened.
“Mom, it was a misunderstanding,” Shu Pan couldn’t help but explain.
“Don’t call me mom. Stay away from my son. I don’t have a daughter-in-law like you. Shu Pan, why are you still clinging to him?” Song Can raised her voice in excitement.
Shu Pan stood as if she hadn’t heard, her gaze lost in thought. Her delicate figure appeared even more slender, and her disheveled hair added to her disarray.
“The Gu family has a reputation to uphold. It can’t be tarnished by a woman like you who flirts around. Shu Pan, I hope when Shaoting gets discharged, I’ll see you two divorced instead of you clinging to him. Take care of yourself.” After leaving these harsh words, Song Can left.
As Shu Pan watched her retreating figure, she absentmindedly touched her stomach, “Baby, what should Mom do?”
