Mo Shaoyan couldn't figure it out.

Song Shuang was unwilling to explain more to him. He urged, "Go to the orthopedics department to check on your neck. Your neck is very crooked now."

Mo Shaoyan's mouth twitched. He knew Song Shuang was chasing him out.

He had to stand up and walked out.

When he was about to step outside the door, he heard Song Shuang asking behind him, "How did you know that I married a new wife?"

"People passed this rumor around secretly. Do you know Bai Family's younger daughter, Bai Qiong? She's been telling this to everyone."

Song Shuang frowned. His impression of Bai Qiong got even worse.

After Mo Shaoyan left, Song Shuang finished reading all the medical history of his patients.

Then he went to make the rounds of the wards.

...

Gu Baisheng's interview at the Third Hospital was a failure.

When she left, the interviewer threw her resume into the trash bin in front of her.

Clearly, this interviewer was someone who had heard her reputation.

Because when she left the interview room of the Third Hospital, she heard people standing aside discussing how she was fired at the Second Hospital because she seduced the director of the department.

Rumor was something that would get more and more ridiculous.

Now there was even a version saying that Bai Shengsheng seduced the director of the surgical department to keep her job at the Second Hospital. She also broke the director's family, got pregnant, and tried to have an abortion. In the end, she took some pills trying to kill herself.

Bai Shengsheng didn't even know she had a history of getting pregnant and having an abortion.

Yet the rumor was spreading fast outside.

People really would talk.

After Gu Baisheng failed the interview, she took the bus home.

When she got home, she lay on the couch for a while.

Her belly was hurting even more. She went to the bathroom and found blood on her pants.

Her period came.

She went down to the store and bought some sanitary pads.

She then covered her belly and bought a hot-water bag.

She put hot water into the hot-water bag when she got home. Then she got on the bed and fell asleep while bearing the pain of her cramp.

When she woke up, it was already dark outside.

Yet the light in the room was turned on.

She immediately realized Song Shuang was back.

She sat up.

She heard Song Shuang coming over to her room while talking with someone on the phone.

After last night, she felt extremely awkward when seeing Song Shuang.

Thinking about how Song Shuang was about to come in, she quickly closed her eyes.

She pretended to be sleeping.

"Schedule the operation next afternoon. It might take a while. There's a lot to prepare in the morning. The patient also has some inspections to do. You can't miss a single one. OK, talk to you later."

Song Shuang walked in while speaking on the phone.

When he walked to the bed, he just finished the call.

After he hung up, Gu Baisheng felt Song Shuang touching her forehead.

He quickly moved his hand away. He then lifted the quilt around her belly and put in something warm.

When that stuff touched her belly, she realized it was a refilled hot-water bag.

To prevent it from burning her, he wrapped a towel outside.

Gu Baisheng was moved.

But she didn't open her eyes.

She felt Song Shuang sitting by her bedside and watched her for a long time. He didn't show any intention of leaving.

She was a bit panicked.

She almost couldn't continue to pretend.

Then Song Shuang raised his hand and tidied the hair by her ear. He touched her right earlobe with his cold fingers.

She tightened her body because of his touch.

While she was nervously thinking about what Song Shuang would do next,

Song Shuang didn't do anything but left the room.

After Song Shuang left, Gu Baisheng opened her eyes and exhaled a long breath.

That hot-water bag was close to her belly. The warmth made her cramp less painful.

She didn't eat anything today. She was actually a bit hungry.

But she didn't want to face Song Shuang outside.

So, she bore her hunger and waited for a couple of hours.

At around ten o'clock, she heard nothing outside. She then quietly put on her pajamas and got up from the bed. She opened the door like a little mouse, sneaking into the kitchen to find food.

Song Shuang was someone who had a very regular routine.

He rarely smoked or drank.

There was no smell of cigarettes in the house all year round.

Song Shuang would go to the gym at least three times a week, and he had the habit of running in the morning.

But after Gu Baisheng died, he clearly changed this habit.

He would go to the hospital very early every morning.

But when he was free, he would go to bed every night at ten.

After Gu Baisheng married him, even if she wanted to stay up late, she would be dragged to bed by him.

Song Shuang was someone who had a healthy routine. He liked to go to bed early and wake up early. He would rather solve something early in the morning than staying up late to deal with it.

Unless there was a special circumstance in the hospital.

When Gu Baisheng and Song Shuang still had a nice relationship, Song Shuang would occasionally dawdle in bed.

That was the only time during which Song Shuang gave up his routine. Even if Gu Baisheng had to get up early in the morning, Song Shuang would dawdle with her.

Song Shuang was sexy when he dawdled.

He would put his chin on her shoulder and talk to her by her ear.

His voice had the morning laziness and sexiness. It could easily melt a person.

But most of the time this dawdling would turn into a morning exercise that made Gu Baisheng really helpless.

So, Gu Baisheng usually got up quickly when he released her hand.

Gu Baisheng was thinking about the things in her past. She didn't turn on the light when she got into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took out yogurt and bread.

She grabbed a bottle of yogurt and held the package of the bread in her mouth.

She then put those on the table in the dining room.

When she just put them down.

The light in the dining room was suddenly turned on.

Her hand shook in fear. She knocked the yogurt over on the table.

She turned over to the direction of the switch in panic and saw Song Shuang looking at her with a frown.

There was no sign of caring on his handsome face.

She was like a thief being caught by the master. She explained slowly, "I'm a bit hungry... So, I got up for food..."

"Eat something warm."

Song Shuang passed the living room and entered the kitchen.

Gu Baisheng was still a bit dazed.

But Song Shuang already poured a glass of hot water for her and put it on the table.

Gu Baisheng watched Song Shuang putting the glass in front of her with a cold face in his pajama. She felt the scene was too bizarre.

"I know. I know. I should drink more hot water."

Gu Baisheng smiled awkwardly.

She didn't want to hear Song Shuang telling her to drink more hot water.

It would be fine if another man said it. But if it came from Song Shuang's mouth, she felt it would be a disaster.

"This is not hot water." Song Shuang looked at her as if looking at an idiot.

"Not hot water?"

Gu Baisheng looked at the glass in front of her curiously.

She found out it was really not a glass of hot water. It was some dark red liquid.

"It's a brown sugar ginger drink."

Hearing what Song Shuang said, Gu Baisheng's face turned black.

Brown sugar ginger drink.

This was what she hated the most.

Song Shuang was not the only one who hated ginger.

She hated it as well.

She would vomit after drinking brown sugar ginger drinks.

Song Shuang was not caring for her, but wanting her dead, right?
