Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Sister Su Should Look for a Job Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Sister Su Should Look for a Job Zhou Yuan groggily opened her eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall before rubbing them, “Two o’clock in the morning?”

Looking at Gu Cheng, she asked, “It’s two in the morning, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Gu Cheng replied, “I woke up because I heard you getting up.”

He cared about her that much?

Ignoring him, she made her way to the bathroom.

But Gu Cheng had gotten there first to turn on the light for her.

“Take it slow, be careful not to slip,” Gu Cheng offered to support her.

Zhou Yuan still paid him no attention and closed the bathroom door, but she sensed something was different.

Looking down, she saw a clear anti-slip mat had been laid down.

No wonder she kept hearing noises in the bathroom before going to bed; he had laid it out himself.

Zhou Yuan felt her heart soften a bit more.

The President of Gu Group, for her, a pregnant woman, had not only butchered chickens, made chicken soup, but also carefully laid anti-slip mats for her.

And he had been here quite a while; surely, there were many things to attend to at the company.

But then she thought, she shouldn’t soften too much, for if she did, he would go back to seeing Li Zhen.

So after using the bathroom, she went back to her room on her own.

But once in bed, she found herself unable to sleep.

The light outside remained on, and light seeped through the crack of the door, but it was quiet outside, and she didn’t know what he was doing.

Perhaps he was asleep already?

Tossing and turning in bed for a while, Zhou Yuan then took out her phone to listen to hypnotic music, and at last, she fell asleep.

…

Su Meixi had a job interview at the Chinese Hospital today.

Although the hospital was far away, the subway was available, and it wouldn’t take much time even with two transfers.

While on the subway, she thought of the large Range Rover and villa in Feng City and couldn’t help but smile to herself.

To see him more often, she had indeed given up a lot.

But on second thought, those things weren’t hers after all; they all belonged to Gu Wei. Now she had Gu Wei, and although they couldn’t meet every day, the frequency of their meetings was already quite high; she should be content.

The standard of Yun City Hospital was similar to her previous hospital, and their equipment was state-of-the-art, so the requirements for doctors were also high. If it weren’t for Su Meixi’s recommendation letter and further training experience, she might not have even gotten an interview.

She was interviewing for the pain management department, and the chief interviewer also had the surname Wang, but this Mr. Wang was a woman, petite and seemingly very easy-going. Su Meixi felt a kinship upon meeting her.

“You’re a military spouse, aren’t you?” Mr. Wang asked.

Su Meixi nodded, “Yes, I wouldn’t have come here otherwise.”

Mr. Wang smiled, “It’s not easy being a military wife. To be honest, I am one too, but my partner transferred to the public security system a few years ago and is also extremely busy.”

Su Meixi quickly shook hands with her, “So you’re a military wife as well, my respects.”

These were pleasantries she had picked up from the other wives in the neighborhood. Spending time with them had made Su Meixi more outgoing.

Mr. Wang laughed, “I need to test your professional skills to see if they’re as extensive as your resume suggests.”

“Sure, test me as you please. It’s only been a few months since I’ve worked, but my skills are still sharp,” Su Meixi responded with a smile.

Then Mr. Wang arranged for her to perform a dry needling surgery.

Seeing the expertise with which Su Meixi performed, even as the patient kept crying out in pain, she completed the procedure calmly.

Mr. Wang was satisfied with her performance and went on to test a few other skills, all of which Su Meixi completed perfectly.

“The standard of an associate chief physician indeed,” praised Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang decided to hire her and informed her to start work the day after tomorrow.

…

With Su Meixi not at home today, it was only Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuan.

Gu Cheng had slaughtered a duck yesterday, planning to make duck soup for Zhou Yuan today.

As Zhou Yuan thought about the chicken soup from the day before, she felt particularly nauseous.

“Maybe you shouldn’t do it,” Zhou Yuan said.

“If I don’t cook, what will you eat?” Gu Cheng asked as if without him, Zhou Yuan would starve.

Zhou Yuan was instantly at a loss for words.

“I can eat out. Aren’t there loads of restaurants around? Or I could cook for myself; I’m not incapable. Didn’t I used to make the midnight snacks you ate when you came home late?”

After thinking it over, Gu Cheng said, “If you want to eat out, that’s fine, I’ll join you.”

Let her eat whatever she wanted, as long as she was happy.

Wherever Zhou Yuan went, Gu Cheng followed.

Growing impatient, Zhou Yuan called over a group of wives and said she planned to dine out today and invited them all to join her.

But when the wives saw Gu Cheng trailing behind, they all made excuses for being busy.

“My son’s coming home for dinner tonight; I need to go cook.”

“I’ve made plans to play chess with Mrs. Lin.”

“I’m dieting, I can’t eat out, it’s too greasy.”

Zhou Yuan had no choice but to go alone, with Gu Cheng still following her.

The wives started discussing among themselves:
“Yuanyuan must have misunderstood her husband. He’s just a bit older, but other than that, he seems pretty good, someone who is caring.”

“Just yesterday, I saw him buying chicken and duck. How many men would be so anxious about their wives? My husband wouldn’t dare to even kill a chicken.”

“Mine neither.”

Zhou Yuan walked around and finally decided to go for a spicy hot pot.

After the dishes were served, Gu Cheng asked, “Shouldn’t pregnant women eat lighter food?”

Zhou Yuan shot him a glare. “Mind your own business!”

If pregnant women could only eat bland food, how would those from Sichuan and Chongqing survive?

Besides, it wasn’t like she ate this every day; it was just an occasional meal.

Gu Cheng dared not speak anymore.

Let her eat whatever she liked; after all, the child in her belly had his genes, which couldn’t be too far off.

Just as they were about to eat, Su Meixi called Zhou Yuan, “Yuanyuan, have you eaten? I just finished an interview and am about to buy groceries.”

Zhou Yuan quickly replied, “Sister Su, I’m at this spicy hot pot place, come quickly, let’s eat together.”

“Who are you with?”

“With… with Gu Cheng!” Zhou Yuan glared at Gu Cheng once more.

Gu Cheng felt aggrieved, as if he were the outsider.

Su Meixi said, “You two eat together; I’ll just cook something simple when I get back.”

Zhou Yuan knew that would be the outcome, so she shot Gu Cheng another glare.

Gu Cheng felt even more wronged.

But after all, he couldn’t leave Zhou Yuan.

Forget it, he would endure.

He picked up some food with his chopsticks and gave it to Zhou Yuan, who after taking a bite, eased up and said, “This tastes really good!”

…

When Su Meixi came back from outside, she encountered a group of wives chatting by the playground.

Turned out they were all talking about Zhou Yuan and Gu Cheng.

“Yuanyuan and her husband just went out to eat together. Looks like they will reconcile soon.”

“Oh, between husband and wife, there’s squabbling at the bed head and making up at the bed end. There are no grudges that last overnight, Ah Xi, soon you and Gu Wei will have your world for two again,” they teased.

Bao Min happened to pass by at that moment.

She overheard the wives’ conversation.

She immediately joined in, “I don’t approve of living a ‘couple’s world’ life when young. This is the age to work hard. Women should have their careers too. Sister Su, you should go find a job!”
