Mr. Shang, please be passionately in love after marriage.

"Zhou-ge, what are you looking at so intently?"

Seeing this, Wei Xingzhou, who was peeling an apple for him, got excited and followed his gaze. Sure enough, it was Cen hope.

Cen hope didn't notice Shang Hanzhou's gaze, as she was talking to Jiang Zheng on the other end of the phone.

Are you arriving in Beijing this afternoon?

Jiang Zheng had mentioned before that he would be coming to Beijing in a while, and Cen hope never expected that it would happen to coincide with her skiing trip in Beicheng.

Cen hope frowned, as if she was struggling with a decision.

The medical resources in the northern part of the city are not as good as those in Beijing, and the doctors also suggested that they could transfer back to Beijing.

She had this plan in mind as well.

She continued, "Brother, I'm in Beicheng now. How many days are you planning to stay in Beijing?"

Jiang Zheng: "One week."

If it's only for a week, they can still meet up.

Just as Cen Xi was about to speak, a gasp suddenly came from the ward, "Brother Zhou, what happened to your leg? Is it hurting again?"

Sheng Fan, making a big fuss, was about to call the doctor again.

Shang Hanzhou's cold, handsome face tightened, and his low, husky voice betrayed his restraint: "Just bear with it."

Wei Xingzhou hurriedly said in Cen hope's direction, "Sister-in-law, come quickly and take a look. It seems that Brother Zhou is not doing well again."

Shang Hanzhou; "..."

He gave Wei Xingzhou a cold glance.

Wei Xingzhou touched his nose and coughed. He admitted that he had exaggerated a bit when he said that.

Cen hope swallowed the words that were about to come out and lowered her voice, saying, "Brother, I'll call you later."

Jiang Zheng faintly heard the commotion on her end. "Okay, you go ahead and do your work."

After hanging up the phone, Cen hope walked over.

"I'll call the doctor over."

"Sister-in-law, aren't you a doctor? If you come over, Brother Zhou won't feel pain anymore."

Wei Xingzhou said with a grin.

It's normal to still feel pain after a fracture has been treated with a cast.

"Brother Zhou, are you still in pain?"

Shang Hanzhou remained calm and didn't answer his question. Instead, he looked up at Cen hope and asked, "Was that a call from my brother?"

Ever since they were in Jiangcheng, whenever Jiang Zheng was mentioned, Shang Hanzhou would call him "brother" just like she did.

Cen hope had gotten used to it.

Only Wei Xingzhou and Sheng Fan were hearing this word from his mouth for the first time, and both of them had expressions of disbelief.

Is there something wrong with their ears, or is Shang Hanzhou possessed by a ghost?

Cen hope replied, "Yes, he's come to Beijing."

The man's dark eyes darkened.

"Unfortunately, I injured my leg and can't go back for the time being."

Otherwise, I could have received him personally.

Shang Hanzhou said regretfully, "I'll have Fang Wen go pick him up."

Fang Wen did not come with him to Beicheng this time.

Cen hope had originally planned to go back in the next couple of days, but according to Shang Hanzhou, she had no plans to return to Beijing for the time being.

She seemed unsure and asked again, "Are we still in the North City?"

Shang Hanzhou lowered his head: "My legs hurt, I can't walk."

Hearing the word "pain" from his mouth for the first time intensified Cen hope's sense of guilt.

When he was in a car accident shortly after returning to China, the flesh on his thigh was torn and bleeding, but he never complained of pain.

Regardless of the circumstances, it's not really appropriate for her to rush back to Beijing before she could properly recover from her injuries, given how badly she was hurt.

"Okay, let's stay here for now."

Anyway, she still has her vacation time.

However, by the time they returned to Beijing from Beicheng, Jiang Zheng might already be gone.

"Manman, I'm sorry."

Shang Hanzhou said in a gentle voice.

She's probably quite looking forward to seeing Jiang Zheng.

Cen hope shook her head: "It's okay, Brother Jiang Zheng will still come to Beijing in the future, it's not too late to see him next time."

Shang Hanzhou fell silent.

Wei Xingzhou and Sheng Fan, who were standing to the side, were completely confused at first, but when Shang Hanzhou said the word "pain," they immediately understood.

Oh, it's a self-inflicted injury ruse.

All this was to prevent his wife from going back to Beijing to see other men.

Wei Xingzhou stroked his chin and clicked his tongue. It seemed that Brother Zhou was even more deeply involved than he had imagined.

He quietly tugged at Cen hope's arm, and Cen hope turned to look at him in confusion.

Wei Xingzhou mouthed exaggeratedly, "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhou is jealous!"

Jealous?

Cen hope recognized what he was talking about at a glance, and was stunned for a moment, thinking it was impossible.

Shang Hanzhou doesn't seem like the type to get jealous.

Wei Xingzhou shrugged. "Brother Zhou, your wife is back. Xiao Fanfan and I will be leaving now. We'll come see you again tomorrow."

For men, a minor injury is nothing serious as long as they don't die.

Shang Hanzhou nodded, which was considered an agreement.

After everyone left, only the two of them remained in the ward. Cen hope sat while he lay down. After thinking for a moment, she simply asked, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

She can go buy it for him now.

Shang Hanzhou shook his head, "Manman, you can stay here with me."

He looked a little tired.

It felt as if a small, incredibly soft part of my heart had sunk deep inside.

Cen hope lowered her eyelashes, picked up the apple that Wei Xingzhou hadn't finished peeling, and carefully peeled it with a fruit knife.

Her hands are beautiful.

With long, slender fingers and non-protruding knuckles, it would look quite nice to hold a scalpel.

Less than half a minute.

A whole apple peel was cut off, and Cen hope handed it to him with a smile, saying, "Try it, it should be sweet."

Shang Hanzhou doesn't actually like eating fruit.

He would never have accepted the apple if Wei Xingzhou or Sheng Fan had offered it to him.

But now, the person handing him the apple is Cen hope.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he took the bag and, under her watchful gaze, took a bite.

Yes, just as she said, it's very sweet.

Aside from their last trip to the island to take wedding photos, the two had never spent time together in another city like this before. Cen hope had never been to Beicheng before. The sun hadn't completely set yet, and the warm sunlight outside the window filled the corner.

Cen hope asked him, "Want to go for a walk?"

She can push him in a wheelchair.

Shang Hanzhou nodded. He always seemed unable to say no to the requests she made.

With his leg in a cast, he couldn't move easily for the time being. Knowing that it would be difficult for her to help him into the wheelchair by herself, Cen Xi specially called over a few nurses.

Shang Hanzhou clearly only wanted her to get closer to him.

"Manman, just help me up."

Cen hope tried her best to steady him. The smell of disinfectant in the hospital mixed with the scent of bergamot on him, and her face turned red.

A few nurses stepped forward. "Do you need our help?"

Before Cen hope could answer, Shang Hanzhou refused first: "No need, I have my wife."

He was much taller than Cen hope. Even though he didn't look heavy, he still had the weight of an adult male. He didn't put all his weight on Cen hope.

With her help, he moved into the wheelchair.

This was the first time he had ever used a wheelchair.

Only after confirming that it hadn't affected her leg injury did Cen hope breathe a sigh of relief. She looked at the nurses apologetically, "Thank you for making this trip."

The nurses waved their hands dismissively, saying, "It's alright."

As they spoke, the group turned around and excitedly discussed what they had just witnessed.

"That possessiveness, only allowing his wife to touch him, tsk tsk."

"Luckily we didn't run into him, otherwise I feel like he would have had to wash the places we touched several times over."

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! It feels like the male lead in a short drama I've seen, who only allows the female lead to touch him."

"..."

Even though the nurses tried to suppress their chatter, Cen hope could still hear it.

Her ears turned red without her noticing.

Is it really that exaggerated?

Remembering Wei Xingzhou's words about "jealousy," she pursed her lips tightly, and a thought she had never dared to let linger in her mind uncontrollably surfaced.

Maybe... he really has fallen for her?

Just thinking about it sent a strong clenching sensation through my chest.
