If there’s nothing wrong, who would bother going to the hospital!” Ma Laosi chimed in from the side.

“Ah, Chenzi is rich now and obviously has a different quality of life compared to us.”

Someone couldn’t help but sound a bit sour.

After all, going for a health check-up was too much of a luxury.

The ones talking were basically men; after all, men tend to be more careless and are naturally more robust than women, not bothered by those trivialities.

Naturally, they all thought it was fine to stay at home if you weren’t sick and there was no need to go to the hospital specifically.

Moreover, seeing their own women envious of others naturally didn’t sit well with them—they wanted to salvage some face.

But women saw things differently.

Gu Chen was the embodiment of an ideal man in their eyes—who would dare to say otherwise was their own problem!

Not being able to do it themselves, yet ridiculing others!

Shen Cuilan glanced over at the person speaking.

“You know shit! This is Chenzi’s love for his wife and children, worrying about them getting sick. How great is it to have a health check-up? Health is the biggest asset!”

These men, they really know nothing. It’s always about treating illnesses when they crop up, but obviously, it’s better to prevent them in advance.

They’re just broke. If they had money, they would want to go for a check-up too. People hit middle age without major illnesses but still suffer from a bunch of minor ailments.

It’s either an ache here or an itch there, just uncomfortable.

If they could get all their issues sorted out at once, it would certainly feel comfortable!

Besides, just for the thoughtfulness Gu Chen shows towards his wife, she felt there was nothing wrong with it!

That’s an expression of his love for his wife!

By saying this, many women nodded in agreement.

“Exactly, health check-ups are a good thing!”

If only they had the money, they would want to go for a thorough health examination too.

Just look at Gu Chen and then at their own men, it was infuriating no matter how they looked at it.

A bunch of clods who understood nothing, yet they complained about others wasting money. Was this wasting money?

This was love for the wife and children!

They knew shit!

“What do you know!” Seeing his own wife give others a lift and blow his own steam, Ma Laosi couldn’t help but grab his wife, “Stop making a fuss if it’s not about you.”

Ma Laosi’s wife chuckled, “Look at you, I’m just saying, what are you so anxious about? Take me to the hospital and I’ll stop talking.”

Her words made everyone laugh along.

Ma Laosi looked helpless, “You think going to the hospital is something to be happy about? Silly woman!”

He didn’t understand that his wife didn’t actually want a health check-up.

She just wanted to see that he cared for her—that was all.

The warm sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating this 170-plus square meter hall.

It added a warm and lively touch to the relaxed atmosphere.

Gu Chen didn’t really care about these things and smiled.

“Sorry to bother everyone, but we’ve got to head to the city now. Besides, the contract isn’t ready yet, so let’s do it tomorrow—sign and pay on the spot!”

After saying that, he pulled Ji Pianran and walked outside.

He was taking his wife for a health check-up!

The sun was nice today, and there was no wind, with a touch of gentleness rare in the air.

Upon leaving the hall, Tangtang held her father’s hand with one little hand and her mother’s with the other.

The family walked along the village’s dirt road.

Every few steps, the little girl tilted her head to look at Gu Chen, her twin braids swaying with each move of her little head.

“Daddy, will we get candied hawthorns to eat today?”

Every time she went into the city with Dad, there was always something delicious to eat, and Candy had figured that out.

Upon hearing they were going into the city, Candy’s first reaction was excitement for the delicious treats!

She was already impatient, even before getting in the car.

Watching his daughter’s innocent expression, Gu Chen’s smile grew tenderer.

“Dad will buy anything Candy wants to eat, okay?”

“Yay!”

The little girl immediately jumped up in excitement.

Ji Pianran looked helplessly towards Gu Chen and smiled faintly, “You’re just spoiling her!”

Gu Chen didn’t mind at all. He squatted down and picked up Candy in his arms.

Returns a smiling face to Ji Pianran, “After all, she is my only daughter!”

In his past life, he had owed Candy too much.

In this life, he was determined to do everything he could to make up for it.

One had to admit that blood ties were indeed a mystical bond; seeing her happy made him feel happy too.

All his efforts, upon seeing the smiles of mother and daughter, brought him immense satisfaction and happiness.

…

Once in the city, Gu Chen found a tricycle taxi, and the family of three headed towards the hospital.

Indeed, it was the best hospital in the city, and it was quite crowded.

A throng of people swarmed like a bustling market.

The check-up was on the second floor. After Gu Chen took a number, he carried Candy towards the stairs.

Ji Pianran, watching the swarm of people, held tightly onto Gu Chen’s sleeve, afraid of getting lost. She carefully followed behind him.

The second floor was lined with rooms, each marked with various department signs.

Long rows of chairs were placed in front of each door. Gu Chen found an empty seat, sat Ji Pianran down, and placed Candy in her lap before speaking.

“You wait here for a bit; I’ll go see how much longer until it’s our turn.”

After saying this, Gu Chen squeezed into the crowd.

Truthfully, Gu Chen hadn’t expected the hospital to be so crowded today. Had he known, he would have negotiated with the village chief to reschedule the meeting for the afternoon and come early to line up at the hospital with Ji Pianran and Candy.

Looking at the situation, it seemed uncertain whether they would even get their turn by the afternoon!

Ji Pianran blinked her moist eyes and looked in Gu Chen’s direction.

Strangely enough, even though Gu Chen was not particularly burly,

At that moment, in Ji Pianran’s eyes, he exuded a sense of security and solidity that no one else had.

Gu Chen had already asked about the check-up process the day before.

So he already had a rough idea of what to do first and next.

After walking a short distance, he saw a nurse standing ahead.

Gu Chen hurried over, “Hello, I would like to ask how long it will take for number 26 to come up?”

The nurse turned around, and upon seeing Gu Chen, her face lit up with a smile.

“Wow, aren’t you that handsome guy who sells goji berries? Your goji berries are so delicious. I was thinking of buying more after the New Year, but you never came back!”

Last time, she had visited Gu Chen’s goji berry stall with a bunch of nurse friends.

If it weren’t for the fact that Gu Chen had said he already had a child old enough to “stir soy sauce,” she’d have made her move on him without hesitation!

What a shame.

Gu Chen was momentarily taken aback, recalling the scene when they came to buy goji berries, and smiled awkwardly.

“Such a coincidence, today I came to bring my wife and child for a check-up.”

Hearing that Gu Chen had brought his wife, the nurse turned around with a curious face, eager to catch a glimpse.

She was determined to see what kind of woman had managed to deceive the handsome man in her heart into marrying early.
