Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 212: Chapter 212 He Knows! Chapter 212: Chapter 212 He Knows! Bao Min thought it through and made a decision, she would change the performance piece.

This performance was just a community event, not an official one, so changing the piece wouldn’t be a big deal.

She quickly found the host. Fortunately, she was acquainted with the host, who let her write down the piece she was going to play, and when her turn came, the host would just announce it.

Bao Min thought for a moment and decided to switch to a more challenging piece by Beethoven.

She had played this piece many times before and had memorized the score inside and out; she shouldn’t make a mistake.

After about fifteen minutes, it was Bao Min’s turn.

Bao Min confidently took to the stage.

However, she inexplicably heard a child in the front row say, “Is this sister the one who just played Sky City?”

Someone said no, and the child asked, “Is this sister going to play as nicely?”

Bao Min mentally rolled her eyes but then thought, why get angry with a child?

Nevertheless, as she was about to play, the image of Zhou Yuan playing piano kept popping into her mind.

Zhou Yuan’s fingering was incredibly light, her hands as if made for the piano, and she had a strong sense of music, even able to adapt pieces.

Could she play as well as Zhou Yuan?

The more distracted Bao Min became, the harder it was for her to concentrate on playing.

At one moment it was Gu Wei, another Su Meixi, and then Zhou Yuan again; she thought, surely these three were laughing at her from the audience?

The more she thought about it, the more prone she was to making mistakes.

Thus she hit several wrong notes in succession.

There was actually a child in the audience who noticed, shouting, “She just played the wrong note, I’ve learned this piece!”

Bao Min paused again.

The piece became more and more disordered as she played, and by the time she had finished, she was almost in tears.

She returned to her seat.

To make matters worse, her aunt said, “You seemed to have hit a few wrong notes just now, I could even tell. Were you too nervous?”

Before Bao Min could answer, Zhou Yuan, who was behind her and had overheard, kindly offered to help Bao Min, “There were about a dozen wrong notes, actually those notes test the little finger…”

Bao Min turned and snapped at Zhou Yuan, “Mind your own business!”

Zhou Yuan, “…”

Wasn’t she teaching everyone willingly? She only offered because she saw that she was a military spouse.

If her help wasn’t appreciated, then so be it.

Gu Cheng saw his wife being yelled at and naturally understood what the issue was; the woman was jealous of his wife.

He quickly held Zhou Yuan in his arms, don’t worry, wife, I’m here!

Zhou Yuan secretly pinched him, and he bore the pain without uttering a sound.

…

That night, Gu Cheng posted several moments on WeChat, sharing videos of Zhou Yuan playing the piano, with the caption: “This is my wife, please give me likes.”

It instantly received hundreds of likes from business partners, company executives, relatives, and friends.

He then sent Zhou Yuan a screenshot of his moments, and she realized he hadn’t restricted his privacy settings.

However, she noticed that Li Zhen had also liked the post.

Well, it was just a WeChat friend; she wasn’t so petty as to mind that.

After sending Zhou Yuan the screenshot, Gu Cheng went to knock on Zhou Yuan’s door, “Yuanyuan.”

Zhou Yuan, in a bad mood, opened the door, “What?”

“I don’t want to sleep on the couch tonight,” Gu Cheng said with a plaintive tone.

Zhou Yuan slammed the door shut.

Not even willing to sleep on the couch, he had no sincerity at all!

…

After the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, siblings Fang Xia and Fang Shuai were set to move to the next house.

Su Meixi could see that the siblings were very reluctant to leave this place, their little room, and she wished she could keep them with her forever.

But after much thought, she still felt it was inappropriate.

After all, she had studied for so many years and worked as a doctor for many years; she had to return to her job, even if Gu Wei was wealthy, it still didn’t feel good to ask others for money. She wanted to earn whatever she could.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she had applied for many jobs, and Chinese Hospital in Yun City had notified her to come for an interview after the holiday.

The siblings’ next destination was Mdm. Qing’s house.

Mdm. Qing had a son and a daughter; her son was studying in another city in his second year of university, and her daughter was in her first year locally. With the children grown, Mdm. Qing had nothing to do and kept saying she wanted the siblings to stay for a few more months.

Su Meixi let the siblings take away the clothes they were wearing here.

As for afterward, she wouldn’t send them anything else.

They were all military wives from the same complex. If she sent things to the siblings, it would seem as though Mdm. Qing’s home didn’t have these items, which would upset her.

When Mdm. Qing came to pick up the children, she said they looked a bit chubbier, surely because they were well fed.

…

Gu Wei was also getting ready to return to the training ground, and the parting with Su Meixi was difficult.

“The Chinese Hospital is too far, you will be very tired commuting back and forth,” he said.

“Isn’t there a car?” Su Meixi asked with a smile.

“What if you have night shifts?”

“Then I’ll just stay in the staff dormitory.” She smiled, “Isn’t that what doctors do?”

Gu Wei indeed didn’t want Su Meixi to work. He wanted to pamper her, to spoil her rotten with everything at her fingertips.

But Su Meixi didn’t like that kind of life; she didn’t feel stable living that way.

…

Not long after Gu Wei left, Su Qiang called again.

Just seeing her father’s call gave Su Meixi a headache. Su Qiang recently liked to ask all sorts of questions, pretending to be concerned about her, but in reality, she couldn’t feel it.

“Ah Xi, how have you been doing in the Military District compound?” he asked.

“Fine,” Su Meixi responded simply each time.

“Have you made any friends? Like a best friend?”

“The usual.”

“I heard that the Military District takes special care of military wives. Has any leader specially taken care of you?”

Su Meixi found his questions odd, “No.”

Su Qiang was ready to ask more, but she cut him off, “Dad, I’m going to buy groceries, gotta go.”

She wasn’t actually going to buy groceries; she just didn’t want to listen to Su Qiang’s call.

When she reached the downstairs, she was startled to see Zhou Yuan holding a durian.

“Yuanyuan, what are you doing?” Su Meixi went down to take the large durian from Zhou Yuan’s hands, “Don’t you know pregnant women shouldn’t lift heavy things?”

As soon as she said that, she saw Zhou Yuan freeze for a moment, and then Zhou Yuan’s gaze went past Su Meixi to someone behind her.

Su Meixi turned around to see Gu Cheng standing there.

He had just come out of the restroom, and had heard what Su Meixi just said!

Pregnant?

Was Zhou Yuan really pregnant?

He looked at Zhou Yuan in shock.

Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitched and then, with a sheepish smile, she said, “You heard wrong, I’m not pregnant.”

“Did I ask if you were pregnant?” Gu Cheng asked.

“…” It seemed he hadn’t.

Gu Cheng immediately came over and stared at Zhou Yuan’s belly.

He had always thought she’d just gained weight, but now…

This belly looked four or five months along, didn’t it?

When had this happened?

“Yuanyuan, how could you keep such an important thing from me?” Gu Cheng’s face was full of disbelief.
