“Please go ahead,” Yao Anqi said politely.
“Why did you leave the military hospital?”
“I was kicked out because I offended someone that I shouldn’t have,” Yao Anqi replied honestly.
“OK, we at New York Hospital welcome you,” the Chief said as he stood up and shook Yao Anqi’s hand.
As she was highly capable, Yao Anqi was given the position of a senior doctor. New York Hospital was a big hospital, so it was naturally more busy than what she was used to, but Yao Anqi felt it was an enriching experience.
After 7 days, Zixi finally got to see his wife and child again. But, during dinner, the first thing that Yao Anqi said was, “I left the military hospital.”
“When did that happen?” Zixi asked.
“It’s been almost half a month,” Yao Anqi replied. “I’m currently a senior ER doctor at New York Hospital.”
Zixi did not respond, but Yao Anqi could feel that there was an obvious awkwardness in the atmosphere.
It wasn’t until the two lay in bed later that night that Zixi finally asked, “Why didn’t you notify me as soon as something happened?”
“I…”
“You didn’t think it was necessary?” Zixi laughed in self ridicule. “Anqi, I admit that we didn’t start off as well as other couples, but I’ve said it before, I’m willing to grow closer to you. While I was training at the base, I thought about coming home to see you and Xingzhe every single day. I wanted so badly to be by your side.”
“But…you changed hospitals without telling me. It’s as though I’m just an outsider to you.”
At that moment, Yao Anqi couldn’t say a word.
No matter how she tried to explain her actions, she couldn’t deny the fact that she didn’t contact Zixi first thing.
That night, the couple did not say another word to each other. In fact, Yao Anqi had no idea when Zixi left the next morning.
Had she treated Zixi too casually?
Yao Anqi began to question herself.
It seemed he was truly angered. So, after Zixi left this time, he did not return for another 2 weeks. But, Yao Anqi remained busy during this time and did not take the initiative to give Zixi a phone call. Perhaps, she was really too cold-hearted.
That day, she was finishing off a surgery and stitching up one of her patients when her patient asked, “Doctor, you’re still so young, you mustn’t be married yet, right?”
“My son is already 3 years old,” Yao Anqi replied.
“Oh, I wonder what kind of man managed to marry someone as imp**ssive as you.”
After Yao Anqi heard this, she decided to go to the on call room after her surgery and make a phone call. She realized that if she continued to be so indifferent, her and Zixi might actually spend the rest of their lives simply being Xingzhe’s parents and nothing else.
At that time, Zixi had already returned home.
When he saw that Yao Anqi was calling, he immediately picked up his phone, “I thought you already forgot that I existed.”
“Zixi, don’t be mad at me. As you know, I suddenly became a mother before I’d even been in a relationship. So, there are a lot of things that I don’t know how to do, such as maintaining a relationship. I was born without this talent.”
“If I don’t initiate anything, then please take the initiative. Don’t blame me and get mad at me, OK?”
After hearing this, the anger in Zixi’s ch*st dissipated, “If you had called earlier, then things would already be fine by now.”
“Men are actually very easy to comfort. It’s not as complicated as you think.”
“I still have one more surgery coming up. I’m going to hang up now, we can chat when I get home.”
Zixi nodded and quickly reminded her, “Go ahead, I’ll come pick you up later.”
“OK.”
Within a relationship, one party had to be the initiator. Yao Anqi knew that she was lacking in this aspect and reacted slowly, so taking this step was very difficult for her.
After chatting to Zixi on the phone, Yao Anqi returned to her post. When her new assisting nurse saw her return with a different vibe, she immediately asked, “Did brother-in-law call?”
“No, I called,” Yao Anqi corrected.
“I would like to see how great of a man he is to be able to marry our Dr. Yao.”
“How great does he need to be? It’s all about timing. We had a flash marriage, after all,” Yao Anqi laughed.
It was rare for the nurse to see Yao Anqi laugh because she was always quiet and cold. Yet, this time, because of Zixi, a different exp**ssion finally appeared on her face.
“Then brother-in-law is certainly imp**ssive. I need to see him even more.”
Zixi had no idea that the people around Yao Anqi were already talking about him. He simply coaxed Xingzhe to sleep and got ready to pick up Yao Anqi from work . But, just before he left the house, he received a phone call from his ex-colleague.
It was regarding Yao Anqi.
“Is Anqi OK? I just found out that she left the military hospital because the Chen Family applied p**ssure to the hospital chief.”
When Zixi heard this, his exp**ssion immediately changed.
“Is that information reliable?”
“Of course, plenty of people in the hospital already know about it. Why? Didn’t Anqi tell you about it? Is she OK?”
“She’s great,” Zixi replied before he hung up and drove straight over to New York Hospital.
At this time, light rain began to fall from the sky and the weather was getting cold. Yao Anqi stood outside the hospital with a thin layer of clothing and intermittently glanced left and right.
A colleague walked past with an umbrella and asked if she wanted to leave together, but Yao Anqi shook her head, because at that moment, she finally spotted Zixi.
“Look, that’s Dr. Yao’s husband!”
“He’s both tall and handsome!”
When Yao Anqi heard the chatter around her, she immediately walked over to Zixi.
Zixi reacted by pulling her into his arms and shielding her all the way to the car. All the way home, neither of them got the chance to speak because Zixi drove too fast.
Yao Anqi could tell that Zixi was upset because the last time he was like this, he made his feelings obvious to her.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Huh?” Yao Anqi replied confusedly.
“I’m referring to how the Chen Family p**ssured the hospital chief,” Zixi questioned patiently, “What reason did you have to endure and not tell me this time?”
“I simply didn’t want you to be stuck in a difficult position bet**en me and the Chen Family!” Yao Anqi explained.
“But you couldn’t shoulder all the suffering on your own!” Zixi emphasized. “You didn’t do anything wrong, so there is no reason for you to put up with their blame. This time, it was just your job that they threatened. What if they threaten you to get divorced with me next time? Are you going to submit?”
“I wanted to leave the military hospital anyway, that’s why…”
“Wanting and being forced are two very different things,” Zixi cut in. Afterwards, the couple remained silent until they stepped foot into their home.
By now, Xingzhe had already been coaxed to sleep by the nanny. When the nanny saw the couple return, she quickly finished off her tasks and left.
Zixi looked at Yao Anqi as she sat on the sofa without moving. He then walked over, lifted her in his arms, carried her into the guest bedroom and threw her onto the bed.
Before Yao Anqi could react, Zixi’s body was already p**ssed on top of hers; body against body, cheek against against. “For some reason, I feel like it’s so difficult for you to open your heart to me. In fact, you won’t even open a little gap.”
“When something went wrong, I had to find out through someone else. It’s as though I’m not needed. To you, is this husband just for decoration?”
“What do I need to do for you to acknowledge me?”
“Or perhaps, do I need to occupy your body like 4 years ago and create some intimacy before you see me as your husband and not just the father of your child?”
Yao Anqi did not move as Zixi p**ssed awkwardly on top of her. She waited until he finished venting before she replied, “I’ve gotten used to being independent and being on my own, so there are a lot of things that I don’t know how to take into consideration.”
“I’m not sure what’s considered as needed.”
“Do I need to cling to you like other women? If so, then that’s something I can’t do. But, when I was going through a tough time, you did cross my mind. Is that considered as needed?”
After hearing this, Zixi was dumbfounded.
He then slowly let go of Yao Anqi’s hand.
“As you know, I’m a doctor. I like to turn big matters into small ones and small matters into nothing. I don’t feel like there are many things in life that are worth fighting and dwelling over. So, when it comes to love, I like to keep things simple.”
“If this makes you uncomfortable, then I’m sorry…”
Zixi looked into Yao Anqi’s eyes and finally moved off her body in defeat. He also pulled her up, “I was just getting a little impatient, so…”
“I don’t blame you,” Yao Anqi replied.
“I’m not sure why I suddenly felt hopeful towards you,” Zixi explained. “I honestly hope, from the bottom of my heart, that we can start a new life together…A life that belongs to the three of us; one where we don’t have to care about anyone else.”
“OK,” Yao Anqi nodded in seriousness.
Yao Anqi’s swift answer made Zixi a little frustrated because it made him feel like he wasn’t important enough.
But, he had no idea that, when Yao Anqi agreed to something, she would do whatever she could to achieve it.
“Let’s go out and eat. When Xingzhe wakes up, you’re going to be busy.”
“OK.” The couple left the guest bedroom: one headed to the kitchen, while the other went to the master bedroom.
As Zixi looked at Xingzhe sleeping peacefully in bed, he had a desperate wish. No matter what, he was going to make the three of them into a real family.
After dinner, Zixi bathed Xingzhe and coaxed him back to sleep while Yao Anqi had a bath.
A little while later, the couple got into bed together. Of course, things weren’t as awkward as before.
However, Zixi was a man and his wife was laying beside him. Plus, the fragrance from her body continuously wafted through his nose.
It was only normal for his body to react.
As a result, when Yao Anqi fl*pped over, she accidentally brushed up against a heated body part and her face turned red.
