Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Seeing Her as Prey Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Seeing Her as Prey Gu Cheng couldn’t help but put on an innocent face, “Didn’t you say you wanted to stay at your parents’ house?”

“Exactly, I do want to stay at my parents’ house.”

“Then I’ll stay here too; I’ve already talked it over with my father-in-law,” Gu Cheng said, looking at Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Yuan and then hesitantly nodded.

Gu Cheng had already arranged with Mr. Zhou before boarding the plane to stay at the Zhou Family for a while.

Initially, Mr. Zhou was annoyed with Gu Cheng, but seeing him posting several flirtatious posts on social media lately, always showcasing his wife, and even heard that he cooked chicken soup himself, Mr. Zhou knew that Gu Cheng had realized his mistakes and was now cherishing his daughter.

Thus, Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou had a discussion and agreed.

Zhou Yuan felt wronged, “Dad, Mom, you’re favoring him!”

Mrs. Zhou quickly explained, “Yuanyuan, a family should live together after all. We have a big house here, it’s not like we can’t accommodate him, let him stay if he wants.”

Mr. Zhou also said, “Yes, while you were out, your house was being renovated, and it’s not currently livable.”

“Renovation?”

“Yes, it’s being renovated,” Mr. Zhou said.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Gu Cheng again, and he nodded.

“Can’t he just stay in a hotel?” she pouted.

“Oh dear, no hotel is as comfortable as home, stop talking about it. Let’s go back to the room and have something to eat. You must be tired from the flight.”

Mrs. Zhou took another look at Zhou Yuan’s waist.

“This belly…” Mrs. Zhou saw that under the babydoll dress, Zhou Yuan’s belly had swelled, and she had also gained some weight.

Could it be…
Gu Cheng came over to explain, “Mom, Yuanyuan has been pregnant for several months. She hadn’t told us before, and I only learned about it from my sister-in-law.”

“What?” The couple was stunned.

In their eyes, their child was still a child, and now this child was having a child, so were they preparing to become grandparents?

Instantly, they protected Zhou Yuan like a treasured possession.

One moment they talked about hiring a nutritionist, next about finding a specialized prenatal care team, and then they discussed which maternity center to choose for the confinement.

Mrs. Zhou also informed Qiu Yurou, who, upon hearing Zhou Yuan was pregnant, immediately came over, offering her shares and money, saying she would double it once the baby was born.

…

A few days later, Su Meixi and Zhou Yuan were video calling.

Hearing about the treatment she received after returning, Su Meixi couldn’t help but feel envious.

“You must have saved the galaxy in your previous life, with both a skillful reincarnation and a loving husband and mother-in-law. Have you and Gu Cheng made up? Has he been allowed to sleep in bed yet?”

Zhou Yuan said indignantly, “That black-hearted man, always snitching to my parents. He purposely sleeps on the couch when my parents come to check the room, making them scold me. Listen to how he put it:
Dad, Mom, it’s fine for me to sleep on the sofa. I’ve been sleeping on the sofa for half a month in Yun City; a few more nights won’t matter. The sofa here is much more comfortable than in Yun City, and sleeping on the sofa lets me stay by Yuanyuan, as long as she is safe, I am at ease.

Sister Su, listen, doesn’t this sound like something a green tea slut would say?”

Su Meixi then said, “Well, from what you’re saying, he is quite cunning. So, you just had to let him sleep in the bed?”

“How could I not? My parents kept telling me off, how could I treat my husband like that, so I just… sigh!”

Su Meixi laughed so hard she almost choked.

This was indeed something Gu Cheng could pull off.

After hanging up with Zhou Yuan, Su Meixi lay on the bed.

She was alone in the house.

Thinking of the bustling scene at Zhou Yuan’s place, she felt a bit lonely.

She thought of her parents.

If she had caused such a fuss with Gu Wei, her parents…never mind, better not to think about it.

She realized she hadn’t thought about her parents for a long time, especially her mother, with whom she had almost completely lost contact.

Su Qiang, on the other hand, called every other day, ostensibly caring but seemingly more inquisitive.

A thought suddenly crossed her mind: Could Su Qiang be a spy?

Back in Feng City or Guang City, he never contacted her, but now that she was in the Military District, he was asking all sorts of questions. Could he be the legendary traitor?

Su Meixi immediately made up her mind: If Su Qiang turned out to be a traitor, she would have to righteously sever family ties.

…

Since her residence was far from the hospital, Su Meixi had to leave at 7 a.m. every day.

That day, she ran into Fang Xia and Fang Shuai, who excitedly greeted her.

“Aunt Su, we heard you started working? And you’re a doctor too, that’s amazing!” Fang Xia said, “I want to be a doctor when I grow up too.”

Su Meixi smiled, “Sure, being a doctor is great, you can save lives and help the injured.”

Just then, they ran into Bao Min.

Bao Min, overhearing Fang Xia’s words, frowned, “Xiao Xia, being a doctor isn’t good, it’s very busy, and you have to deal with corpses every day, becoming a teacher would be better.”

Fang Xia shook his head, “No, I want to be a doctor, I want to be outstanding like Aunt Su.”

And marry an officer like Captain Gu.

This latter part, Fang Xia did not say; it was the little girl’s secret wish.

Bao Min awkwardly said, “Is being a doctor that great? Teachers and doctors are both respected professions.”

The statement was harmless, but coming from Bao Min, it seemed rather narrow-minded.

Su Meixi told the siblings, “You two go to school first, no matter what you want to be in the future, you need to study hard, only through education can you achieve your dreams.”

The siblings then happily skipped away.

Su Meixi saw Bao Min still staring at her and casually said, “Goodbye, Teacher Bao.”

Bao Min snorted and turned away.

Su Meixi didn’t mind, she had to catch the subway.

…

The pace at Yun City Chinese Hospital was okay, just like it was at her previous hospital. Mr. Wang saw she was popular in the outpatient clinic and often assigned her there.

One day, while she was consulting, a man in his 30s came in.

She looked at the name, it was strange, called Ah Yi, and wondered whether he was from a minority group.

Her system couldn’t access the photo on his ID, so she wasn’t sure if this person’s identity was correct, but just seeing this Ah Yi made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

The oppression emanating from this man was too strong.

Especially those eyes, they seemed to view her as prey, making her extremely uncomfortable.

“May I ask where you feel uncomfortable?” Su Meixi asked.

Ah Yi first stared at her, then stood up, lifted his shirt, and pointed to his waist.

There was a very long knife wound at his waist, as if someone had slashed him, and nearby was a tattoo of a snake with its mouth gaping in blood, which was quite disturbing.

Intuitively, Su Meixi sensed this man was no good. She forced herself to stay calm and then asked with a steady voice, “Is it here that hurts?”
