Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Chu Yan: I'm so pitiful, I don't deserve Zhaozhao (I'm just pretending)
Immediately, Chu Yan went to Qin Wan's hospital room.
"Are you feeling better today?"
"Much better. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have lasted this long."
Chu Yan originally wasn't Qin Wan's attending doctor, but he took over because her condition was too complicated.
He was the star of the Imperial Capital First District Hospital, accepting only the most challenging and difficult cases.
"Chu Yan, are you feeling unwell today?"
Qin Wan looked at him with concern and noticed his face was a bit pale.
Chu Yan opened his mouth intending to say something but in the end, he just said, "It's nothing."
"If you have any troubles, just talk to me. You're Zhaozhao's husband, and I've always treated Zhaozhao like my own daughter, so you are no different from a son-in-law to me."
The handsome yet cold man had a tinge of redness in his eyes and his complexion was pale.
His voice was hoarse as he said, "Aunt, I feel like I don't deserve Zhaozhao. I can't blame her for falling for someone else. I, as a husband, haven't fulfilled my responsibilities and haven't taken good care of her."
Qin Wan was stunned for a long time and in disbelief, she asked, "Zhaozhao fell for someone else?"
Seeing Chu Yan's heartbroken look, Qin Wan quickly comforted him, "That's impossible. With such a good husband like you, how could she possibly like someone else!"
"I'm not good at all. The hospital keeps me so busy that I often don't have time for her."
"Then you should spend more time with her!"
"We've already separated. She hasn't been willing to see me lately. Maybe, before long, we'll get a divorce."
"What?!"
Qin Wan knew she didn't have much time left. Chu Yan was the man she chose, believing he was most suitable to take care of Zhaozhao, so she didn't want them to split up.
She searched Xie Han's name online and immediately found numerous gossip items about Zhaozhao and Xie Han.
Paparazzi had snapped many photos of the two together. After all, the original host had indeed cheated and had been involved with Xie Han for a while, though nothing substantial had happened.
Zhaozhao had barely finished half a month of shooting before rushing to the hospital to see Qin Wan, only to be scolded.
"You, how could you do this! Chu Yan is so good, graduated from a prestigious university, and is a leading medical expert in the country despite his young age. He has such a limitless future!
And he's also handsome, much better looking than that actor. You're married, how could you go behind his back and see other men? What have I taught you before!"
Zhaozhao's face instantly darkened, "Did he tell you this?"
Damn it, how dare he snitch?
"No." Qin Wan, remembering the miserable look on that boy's face, felt a pang of guilt. Such a good kid, and her Zhaozhao had spoiled him.
"Online, it's full of gossip about you and Mr. Xie, and they even said you were pursuing him! Zhaozhao, we're married, we cannot do such shameful things.
Xie Han's reputation isn't good, he's often rumored with female celebrities, he can't be your true match. Pull yourself together, have a good life with Chu Yan.
Otherwise, when I die, I won't rest in peace!"
"Aunt, don't talk nonsense."
Zhaozhao frowned, not wanting her to die.
She would find a way, it was just cancer, after all.
"I've been hiding it from Chu Yan."
Qin Wan tried her best to speak well of him, "Have you guys separated? He even said he neglected you too much, that's why you wanted to separate. You should let him move back in with you, break it off with Xie Han, and have a good life with him, you understand?"
Zhaozhao, "Haha."
Chu Yan and the original host had never lived together; where did this notion of separation come from?
Zhaozhao wasn't a fool; in fact, quite the opposite.
Even though Qin Wan was speaking in Chu Yan's favor, having listened for a while, Zhaozhao immediately spotted the inconsistencies.
"What does 'haha' mean? Are you really planning to divorce him and be with Xie Han?"
Qin Wan's expression turned grave as she sat up in bed.
She immediately pulled out the IV from her hand, and blood began to flow.
"If you dare to divorce him and find Xie Han, I won't seek treatment! Where could I bear to see you suffer and be deceived by men! Better to die early and be done with it!"
"Aunt!"
Zhaozhao, startled by her actions, quickly called for a nurse.
"I don't like Xie Han!"
She rubbed her brow, feeling a bit weary, and said, "I'm not going to divorce Chu Yan, okay? Don't overthink it, I can't be fooled by a man."
"That's more like it. Later, go find Chu Yan and ask him to move back in with you."
"No way."
Living with Chu Yan was worse than death to her, or she might as well kill Chu Yan.
"I knew it, you still want to find Xie Han!"
Qin Wan looked at the nurse.
"Little sister, remove the IV. I'm not getting treated. Also, someone arrange my discharge."
"Fine, fine, fine! I'll have him move over!"
Qin Zhao's temples throbbed, and she had no choice but to agree.
Damn it, Chu Yan, that crafty bastard!
Qin Zhao took a deep breath and finally thought, it doesn't matter.
After all, she still owed a few appearances, and if she didn't want to pay penalties, she would have to keep visiting the set during this period.
Let him move in if he wants, she just won't stay at home.
Before that, she needed a good talk with Chu Yan!
Qin Zhao made a trip to Chu Yan's office.
Seeing Qin Zhao enter, a flash of surprise crossed the depths of Chu Yan's eyes.
He hadn't expected her to seek him out proactively.
"Did you tell my aunt about me and Xie Han?"
"Yes."
Chu Yan admitted calmly, but his eyes turned cold at the mention of Xie Han.
"Our marriage is just a transaction. I am indeed a woman motivated by money, and I'm inappropriate. Today I can be with Xie Han, tomorrow I might find someone else.
I think there's no need for you to involve my aunt and try to mediate our relationship. Divorce is really the best option for you."
She stood by the desk, looking down at him, her pretty almond-shaped eyes icy cold.
"Whether it's necessary isn't for you to decide."
Chu Yan leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed.
"Motivated by money, inappropriate? I don't think that's who you are."
Maybe in the past, but definitely not now.
Qin Zhao chuckled lightly, her lips curving into a mocking smile, "You think you know me?"
"Not really, but I want to get to know you, and that's enough."
Chu Yan looked at her, his profound eyes filled with a possessiveness he didn't understand himself. He slowly lowered his eyelids to hide that sudden surge of desire.
Yes, a possessiveness that even he found strange.
Qin Zhao fell silent because she didn't want Chu Yan to take an interest in her.
"Why did you want to marry me?"
Could he also have memories of a past life?
"No reason, I just wanted to get married."
His tone was casual, as if discussing something trivial.
Qin Zhao stared at him for a while, still unsure if he had anything to do with the Evil Disciple from her past life.
Maybe, it was worth observing.
"my aunt wants you to move in with me. When will you move?"
"I'm a bit busy these days, have to work overtime."
"Me too, next weekend?"
"Sounds good."
Qin Zhao turned and left.
Hearing the door close, Chu Yan twirled the pen in his hand, lips slightly curved, appearing in a rather good mood.
