CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 207: A TURN OF FATE, UPS AND DOWNS IN DESPAIR

Hospital.

Gu Qingchen arrived at the hospital early in the morning. With no surgeries scheduled, he made rounds in the inpatient department.

In the VIP ward.

Zheng Tong didn’t go home last night; she stayed by Duan Feixun’s side.

And this man, upon hearing she was willing to stay with him, was as delighted as a child.

In the morning, when Gu Qingchen came with doctors and nurses for rounds, Zheng Tong said to him, "Look at his palm, the gauze seems to be soaked with blood!"

Gu Qingchen unwrapped the bandage for a look and simply said, "You’ve overexerted yourself!"

These four words made the interns and nurses following him secretly giggle, while Gu Qingchen himself remained utterly serious.

Zheng Tong’s face turned red. She grabbed her handbag and headed out, "I’m off to work!"

"Wife, remember to eat breakfast!" Duan Feixun shouted from behind!

His hand was injured now, and he couldn’t make breakfast for her, but she still needed to remember to grab something to eat.

Gu Qingchen took the medication and disinfectant, cleaned Duan Feixun’s palm, inspected the wound, applied the medicine, and then said to the intern behind him, "You check and clean the other one."

"Old Gu, why don’t you check and clean both for me?" said Duan Feixun, looking at him. "I have to take care of my wife with these hands for the rest of my life!"

At that moment, Gu Qingchen stared at him, his eyes deep, yet he remained silent.

"Then... for Bei Ran’s sake, could you clean the other one too?" Duan Feixun quickly added, whispering as he noticed her upset expression this morning, "Did you two have a fight?"

Last night, after Gu Qingchen smashed the teacup and left, he went to the study, but not long after, he went up to the roof. Seeing her lying on the bench, he carried her back to the bedroom.

In between, no one spoke a word.

She wasn’t asleep, just with eyes closed.

And he, angry that she went to see Gu Yucheng, knowing that he was a thorn in his side, she still had to touch that very thorn.

How could Gu Qingchen not be furious!

But angry as he may be, he still cared about her health.

If he hadn’t gone to the roof, was she planning to sleep there all night?

Seeing that he was still silent, Duan Feixun confidently concluded: "Mhm, definitely had a fight! You, you’re just never content. If I had children like you, I’d treat my wife like a goddess! If she says east, I’d never go west! If she lies down, I definitely won’t stand!"

"Well, isn’t that something! City A will have one less aloof and harmful lawyer and one more devoted husband!" Gu Qingchen nodded, expressing full agreement with his statement.

Duan Feixun only showed his knowledgeable and sophisticated lawyer side in court, but in front of Zheng Tong, he had long discarded these external facades. He just wanted to be a competent husband, an unparalleled great dad.

But would Zheng Tong give him the chance?

At Earth Wedding Company.

Bei Ran yawned several times in a row. She rubbed her head and pressed the intercom, "Wu Kang, where’s my coffee? Why isn’t it here yet?"

Wu Kang was still in the coffee room, nowhere near the office.

Bei Ran hung up the phone, and after a long while, Wu Kang finally came in with the coffee: "Sister Ran, good morning!"

"Why did it take so long today?" Bei Ran asked, sipping her coffee.

Wu Kang explained, "Maybe because you haven’t been at work for over a week, it feels like a longer wait. In fact, it took the same amount of time as usual."

"Really?" Bei Ran found even the taste of the coffee had changed.

"Of course!" Wu Kang assured her, "You feel like the time varies, but the machine is always timed... it’s set."

Bei Ran, sipping her coffee, asked, "Any recent cases?"

Wu Kang handed her a file, "There’s a challenging case. Everyone was reluctant to take it on, so they waited for you to return to work."

"Great! I love a challenge," Bei Ran said, looking through the file. "Indeed, this is interesting. The fiancée provides the money and effort for her fiancé to marry another woman. If we take this on..."

"Really taking it?" Wu Kang looked at her, "This case definitely involves emotional disputes, it might even lead to a tragedy... I still remember the case with Li Sheng and Qu Mei, where it ended with bloodshed right on the spot!"

Bei Ran glared at him, "Of course, we’ll take it. I find it very intriguing."

So Wu Kang arranged a meeting with this prospective bride named Qiao Peitian and Qiao Peitian came to Earth Wedding Company.
