Chapter 12: I want to marry you

Duan Jinhuai finished speaking and didn’t wait for Su Qingtan to ask any questions before walking out, “Rest for a while, I have something to do.”

“Hey? That—” Su Qingtan was still a little confused, and Duan Jinhuai had already walked out of the ward.

Leaving Su Qingtan alone in a state of confusion.

Duan Jinhuai had something to ask of her? He could have something to ask of her?

This was their first meeting, how could he have something to ask of her?

This luxurious ward, the hospitalization fee as a reward, that’s right, it was still the Duan Jinhuai she knew.

But what was it about?

Before Su Qingtan could figure it out, a nurse pushed a food cart in.

Su Qingtan smelled the aroma of food and suddenly felt hungry.

“Your husband ordered this, there are many kinds, pick what you can eat.”

The nurse smiled and set up a table for Su Qingtan and brought her food. Su Qingtan heard what the nurse said and immediately explained, “He’s not my husband.”

The nurse was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded with a smile, indicating that she understood, “Enjoy your meal, when you’re finished, press the button on the bedside, I’ll come and clean up.”

Su Qingtan’s attention immediately turned to the food.

The food in the most luxurious ward was light in appearance but very delicious.

Su Qingtan took small bites for a while, and after a while, she found that she didn’t want to vomit, so she started eating in big bites.

In the lounge outside the luxurious ward, Duan Jinhuai chose a corner to sit down, then opened his laptop and started typing.

He hadn’t been typing for long when he heard Xiao Yang’s voice, “Old Duan, what are you doing here?”

Duan Jinhuai looked up at Xiao Yang and smiled, “What about you, why are you here again?”

Xiao Yang sat down next to him, looking speechless, “You’re asking this knowingly, it’s like you’re taking the initiative, hiding something and afraid I’ll ask, right?”

Duan Jinhuai didn’t answer, he even tilted his laptop towards Xiao Yang, preventing him from seeing it.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang’s speechless expression deepened, “You’re hiding it in your laptop?”

Duan Jinhuai changed the subject, “How is your girlfriend’s health?”

Xiao Yang heard this, and the tension in his body seemed to disappear, he became listless, and the fatigue on his face was completely revealed, “A chronic illness, doctors both at home and abroad haven’t been able to do anything.”

Duan Jinhuai was about to comfort him when he heard Xiao Yang continue, “She doesn’t want to stay in the hospital anymore, after she’s discharged this time, I’m going to take her to travel around.”

“That’s good.” Duan Jinhuai said, “She should be very happy too, right?”

Xiao Yang nodded, “Yeah, she’s simple-minded, very easy to please.”

When Xiao Yang said this, the fatigue on his face dissipated a lot, and his eyes reflected a particularly gentle smile.

Duan Jinhuai, seeing him like this, remembered when he first met Su Qingtan in his dream.

Xiao Yang noticed his absentmindedness and tapped the table with his finger, “What are you thinking about?”

“Thinking about being with the person you love, you’ll be very happy too, right?” Duan Jinhuai asked in a declarative sentence.

“Of course.” Xiao Yang just agreed, then immediately realized something was wrong, he looked at Duan Jinhuai, his face full of playfulness, “Old Duan, you’re not right.”

Duan Jinhuai ignored him and tried to change the subject again, “Are you still going to have your wedding?”

“Stop changing the subject.” Xiao Yang saw through his intentions and didn’t let him get away with it, “What’s going on, which woman is so powerful that she’s made this ice cube thaw?”

Duan Jinhuai didn’t answer, Xiao Yang glanced at the nurses’ station and smiled, “Should I ask the nurse?”

The intention to not give up until he got an answer was very obvious. Duan Jinhuai didn’t pretend to be mute anymore, he directly said, “I can also chat with your girlfriend anytime.”

Xiao Yang immediately stopped, his tone indignant, “Okay, I won’t pry.”

Xiao Yang said, “Let’s go have some late-night snacks?”

“No, let’s have breakfast together tomorrow morning.” Duan Jinhuai refused and then urged him to leave, “It’s very late, go back and accompany your girlfriend.”

Xiao Yang got up and left, but turned back after taking two steps and asked, “I’m still curious, who is she, you’re so protective of her, you won’t even let me know?”

Xiao Yang’s personality is similar to Duan Jinhuai’s, both belong to the cold and serious type, but birds of a feather flock together, the two of them talk a lot when they are together, and the personality they show is also different from what outsiders see.

They are also each other’s few true friends, so facing Xiao Yang’s gossip, Duan Jinhuai still relented and said, “I’ll introduce you to her when I have the chance.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yang was happy, “Oh, I understand, you haven’t gotten her.”

Duan Jinhuai just looked back coldly, Xiao Yang didn’t care about him, he turned and left as if he was enjoying himself.

Duan Jinhuai continued typing on his laptop, twenty minutes later, he got up and walked back to the ward.

When he went back, Su Qingtan had already finished eating, and the nurse had also taken away the dishes. She was about to get up and move around when she saw that the IV bag was almost empty, so she pressed the button.

Duan Jinhuai came in at this time.

“Mr. Duan.”

Su Qingtan had just finished greeting him when another nurse she hadn’t seen before came in.

“Mrs. Duan, I’m here to remove your IV.” The nurse said as soon as she entered, immediately shocking Su Qingtan.

Her first reaction was to look at Duan Jinhuai.

But Duan Jinhuai was sitting on the sofa looking at his laptop, as if he hadn’t heard.

Good, good that he didn’t hear.

Su Qingtan was about to explain to the nurse in a low voice, but the nurse quickly removed the IV, turned to Duan Jinhuai and said, “Mr. Duan, Mrs. Duan’s other blood test results are also out, I just checked the doctor’s instructions, she needs IV fluids for the whole week.”

“You can talk to the doctor about the details.”

Forget it, just pretend to be dead.

Su Qingtan gave up on her plan to get up and move around, she simply lay down and closed her eyes to sleep.

But after hearing Duan Jinhuai’s “Hmm” in response to the nurse, she couldn’t pretend anymore.

What do you mean “Hmm”, the nurse got it wrong, I need to explain, you need to explain, right?

Duan Jinhuai, you’re not the kind of person who lets others take advantage of you and endures it, right?

Su Qingtan sat up again.

Duan Jinhuai, who had been looking at her with the corner of his eye, had been smiling all along, but when he looked up, his expression returned to normal. He saw Su Qingtan was about to call out to the nurse who was about to leave, so he spoke to her before she could, “Have you eaten?”

“Yeah, I have.” Su Qingtan wasn’t completely diverted, after answering, she explained, “Mr. Duan, did you fill out any guardian forms when you brought me here?”

In her understanding, Duan Jinhuai wouldn’t introduce her relationship to others, it must be the nurses who misunderstood.

“It seems like the nurses all misunderstood.”

“It’s just a title, it’s okay if they misunderstand.” Duan Jinhuai’s light words made Su Qingtan speechless.

Fine, you’re an unmarried diamond bachelor, you don’t care.

Su Qingtan had just finished slandering him in her mind when Duan Jinhuai spoke again, “Are you sleepy now?”

“No.” Su Qingtan said, then realized Duan Jinhuai’s purpose in asking this question, so she asked, “Mr. Duan, didn’t you say you had something to ask of me?”

“What is it, tell me.”

Duan Jinhuai looked at her and said directly, “I want to marry you—”
