Outside the door, the nurses were busy dispensing medicine. Upon seeing someone approaching, they hurriedly called out: "Good afternoon, Director Gu!"
Gu Qingchen still wore a white coat as pure as snow, appearing at the entrance of the dressing room with an arrogance as cold as ice.
Because it involved the patients' privacy, each dressing station was separated by a white curtain. He lifted the curtain with one hand and saw Bei Ran's shirt unbuttoned down to the third button.
Gu Qingchen's eyes were frosty as he gazed at her. Today, this woman wore a loose maroon casual shirt, and he could already see the sight exposed by the undone buttons.
"Good afternoon, Director Gu!" The male nurse greeted Gu Qingchen as soon as he saw him approaching.
Bei Ran really hadn't expected Gu Qingchen to come. She gave the man a glance; his handsome face was frosted over, far more serious than the day before in the operating room.
She thought, this must be him at work!
Seeing that Gu Qingchen's expression was colder than usual, the male nurse felt tremendous pressure knowing the chief physician was standing beside him.
Bei Ran continued to unbutton her shirt, adopting an unchanging approach to cope with everything; if it were true, as Tian Xin said, and he would get jealous, he naturally wouldn't let the male nurse dress her wounds!
The Bei Ran of today also wore a maroon bra embroidered with peonies underneath, accentuating her snow-like skin.
Gu Qingchen's deep gaze turned icy. He sharply reprimanded the already flustered male nurse beside him: "What are you doing?"
The male nurse didn't know what he had done wrong, and upon being scolded by Gu Qingchen like that, he retreated a step in fear when meeting Gu Qingchen's piercingly cold eyes.
"You go out first!" Bei Ran's voice was as clear and melodious as a song, "My wound hurts a bit; let Doctor Gu have a look at it!"
The male nurse ran out of the dressing room as if fleeing, afraid that Gu Qingchen might call to stop him.
Now that only the two of them were left, Bei Ran lowered her head and smiled gently as water: "Why so fierce?"
Gu Qingchen stared at her with unfathomable eyes. If he didn't come, would she have let another man dress her wounds?
Of course, these were words he would never speak aloud!
Bei Ran thought perhaps he was just in a bad mood and venting on someone randomly!
Her divorce papers were not yet in her hands, and she had to continue playing the role of his obedient and adorable wife. Thus, she took his large hand, gently caressed the calluses on his fingertips from holding surgical tools year-round, and cooed softly, "Husband, please examine it for me! It really hurts..."
Gu Qingchen watched her effortlessly unbuttoning her shirt a moment ago, and now she blushed shyly in front of him like a young girl!
Gu Qingchen tore off her gauze mercilessly, causing Bei Ran to hiss in pain, though he acted as if he heard nothing!
His hands moved skillfully as he treated the wound, and after he finished dressing it and before Bei Ran could put her clothes back on, he turned and left without a word or a glance in her direction.
Bei Ran watched as he left without speaking a word to her, and with such cold indifference—how could he be jealous as Tian Xin said?
