Chapter 112
Through the moonlight that shined through the window, Huo Mian stared at Qin Chu's handsome face and, for a second, thought that she was dreaming .
She was always a light sleeper, so, she woke up as soon as Qin Chu walked in .
She wanted to prank him and see how he would react, and that was why she opened her eyes suddenly .
After seeing his reaction, she couldn't help herself . . .
Perhaps it was cold in the room, she held Qin Chu's hand and felt the warmth of his palm .
They laid face to face, quietly staring into each other's eyes . . .
They said nothing, but it seemed like everything .
They both knew that all they needed was to share this quiet moment in each other's eyes .
Huo Mian's eyes were clear and bright, like the shiniest stars in the sky .
Qin Chu's eyes were deep and misty . One glance and you will be lost in it forever, unable to leave .
For the first time, Qin Chu felt comforted . He held onto Huo Mian's hand tightly and felt his heart fill with happiness .
- Next Morning -
Huo Mian woke up early as usual to make breakfast .
A bowl of vegetable congee, several milk-steamed buns, and a glass of soymilk were ready for Qin Chu as soon as he arrived downstairs .
"We can find a maid, this is too much trouble for you," Qin Chu said as he ate .
"What's troubling about making breakfast? It's not tiring at all . Besides, there's only the two of us, it's inconvenient to have an outsider here . I can do chores when I'm bored and have nothing to do . " Huo Mian smiled .
Qin Chu fell silent .
"Um, can I talk to you about something?" Huo Mian asked hesitantly .
"What is it?"
"Can you stop depositing your salary into my bank account?"
"Why?"
"It's too much," Huo Mian complained .
"But you're my wife, who am I supposed to give my salary if not to you?" Qin Chu said as if it was the only logical thing to do .
"You can keep it for yourself . "
"You think I need money?" Qin Chu furrowed his brows slightly .
"No, I just think it's too much money . It's not a good idea to keep it with me . "
"I think it's a good idea," Qin Chu said stubbornly .
Huo Mian 0, Qin Chu 1 .
Qin Chu knew Huo Mian would never ask for money, so it was only natural to deposit his money into her account .
It was a million yuan each month; she would never be able to spend it all, even if she wanted to .
Huo Mian was not someone who was luxurious in nature .
She wanted to tell Qin Chu to stop, but Qin Chu never took her seriously .
She lost the negotiation and decided that she would have to come up with another way .
When they left for work, as usual, Qin Chu drove the Maybach and dropped Huo Mian off five hundred meters away from the hospital's main entrance .
"Huo Mian, you're late," Wu Xiaoxue watched Huo Mian walk in and immediately began scolding her .
"I'm not late," Huo Mian replied as she buckled up her lab coat .
"Do you know how busy the OB/GYN department is? Can't you arrive a little earlier? You're so unprofessional! People like you will only ever be good enough to be a nurse," Wu Xiaoxue cursed, her voice filled with contempt and disdain .
"There's nothing wrong with being a nurse, it's what I want to do . " Huo Mian smiled slightly .
"Don't be clever or else I swear I'm going to make your life hell . I'm telling you, I'm very strict . You work under me, and I do not tolerate mistakes . Or else, I will fire you immediately . "
"I'll try my best," Huo Mian answered in a nonchalant manner .
"Follow me to the OR! We need to perform a C-section later . " Wu Xiaoxue glared at her and began walking towards the OR with a patient's file .
"Okay . "
Huo Mian followed Wu Xiaoxue all the way to the OR .
A C-Section sounded scary, but really, it was nothing more than a small surgery . It took less than an hour to complete .
Huo Mian had to admit that Wu Xiaoxue was very skilled .
She sewed up the patient, and the rest was left for Huo Mian to finish .
Huo Mian was out of breath from putting things back in order but Wu Xiaoxue had caught her and began yelling before she even had the chance to have a glass of water, "Why are you here? Did you even clean up the OR?"
"That's not my responsibility, the cleanup crew will have the place sanitized . "
"This is the OB/GYN's OR, and you're a part of our department . Shouldn't you go and help? Did you think you were being paid to do nothing? Our hospital doesn't hire useless people . "
"Dr . Wu, it's fine if you want to direct things at me, but don't you think you're going a little overboard? Did I dig up your family grave?" Huo Mian couldn't take it anymore and snap back at Wu Xiaoxue coldly .
