Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Sheng Tingyuan, You Don’t Have to Do These Things Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Sheng Tingyuan, You Don’t Have to Do These Things Sheng Tingyuan turned and went to the living room to get the medicine, then came back and sat beside the bed, “Give me your hand.”
Ye Chuyi didn’t move, “There’s no need to trouble President Sheng, I can apply it myself.”
Sheng Tingyuan lifted the quilt and took her hand out.
Her hand was even redder than when he saw it at noon, small blisters covered the entire back of the hand, and even her wrist had some.
The hands that were once slender and fair were almost unrecognizable now.
A twinge clearly struck his heart, and he gritted his teeth slightly, “With your hand like this, you still went to perform surgery in the afternoon?”
“I still have another hand, the surgery this afternoon wasn’t very difficult, it went very smoothly, so President Sheng doesn’t need to worry about the patient’s safety, the surgery was very successful.”
“Do you really think I’m worried about some patient?”
Ye Chuyi looked at him strangely, “Isn’t that so?”
Sheng Tingyuan didn’t speak. He took out a cotton swab, dipped it in the ointment, and gently applied it to her hand.
He applied it very carefully; all the scalded areas, including the spaces between her fingers, were taken care of.
Yet Ye Chuyi really didn’t want him to take care of her from the bottom of her heart now, “Sheng Tingyuan, you don’t need to do these things, I can do them myself. Please, consider the non-interference agreement I mentioned earlier.”
Sheng Tingyuan turned a deaf ear, “The ointment can easily get rubbed off, and it will hurt if the burned areas are touched, do you want to wrap it in gauze?”
“I can wrap it myself, you can go.”
“Where’s the gauze?”
“Are you leaving or not?”
Sheng Tingyuan got up and began searching through cabinets and drawers for gauze.
Seeing him opening all the drawers and cabinets at home, Ye Chuyi felt a headache coming on and said wearily, “It’s in the cabinet at the entryway in the living room.”
Sheng Tingyuan then closed all the cabinet doors, turned around to get the gauze, and wrapped her hand.
Ye Chuyi ignored him and let him fuss about; she closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.
“Still angry?”
Sheng Tingyuan’s voice was low, “It was my fault at noon, sorry, it won’t happen again.”
After he spoke, he tucked Ye Chuyi in properly and left.
The house was finally quiet, and Ye Chuyi felt comfortable and soon drifted off to sleep.
She didn’t know how long she slept when hunger woke her forcefully.
Only then did she remember that she seemed to have skipped lunch, didn’t eat dinner, and had only eaten a piece of chocolate after the surgery ended.
She touched her rumbling stomach and felt she could eat a whole cow.
She got out of bed and went to the living room for her phone to order takeout.
But when she reached the living room and saw a person sitting on the sofa, she was startled.
“Awake?”
Ye Chuyi, clenching her wildly beating heart, felt as if she’d lost half her soul, “Sheng Tingyuan, are you trying to scare me to death? Didn’t you leave? How did you get in?”
“I took your keys.”
“That’s illegal!”
“You seem to have forgotten, we’re married, we are husband and wife under the law, your keys are mine too.”
“That’s pre-marital property!”
Sheng Tingyuan opened a food container, “Auntie Wang made this, it’s still warm, want to eat?”
“I don’t, take it away, and give me back my keys.”
Ye Chuyi said this while picking up her phone.
Sheng Tingyuan spoke indifferently, “Your phone is dead and turned off, you can’t order takeout.”
“How do you know I was going to order takeout? What does being dead have to do with it, can’t I just charge it?”
Sheng Tingyuan took out her charger from behind him, “Eat your meal, and I’ll give you the charger.”
Ye Chuyi’s eyes suddenly widened, “You! Why are you so sneaky!”
“I can’t help it, you won’t budge, I had to turn to cunning tactics.”
Sheng Tingyuan looked up at her, “Why stand so far away? Come here.”
Ye Chuyi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gave up her struggle and sat down to eat.
Watching her obediently eat, Sheng Tingyuan unexpectedly felt a sense of relief washing over him.
Feeding her made him happy; he must be crazy.
“Sheng Tingyuan,”
“Hmm, what is it?”
“You didn’t drug my food, did you? Why do I think it tastes weird?”
“Would I dare? If you think the taste is strange, it’s probably because you have a fever.”
“What wouldn’t you dare to do?”
“After saying a few harsh words to you at noon, you wanted to sign some sort of living agreement with me, if I drugged you, you’d probably want to sign a divorce agreement with me.”
