Chapter 222: Infertility (Part One)
Shangguan Ning got worried instantly. She thought that Jing Yichen was hurt again. She massaged his chest and asked in concern, “What is it? Are you feeling unwell?”
Jing Yichen felt kind of excited to be massaged by her warm little hands. But he said calmly, “I am fine. But Mu Qing said that we need to get examined a couple of days post discharge for a routine follow up.”
Shangguan Ning’s arm still ached slightly, so she didn’t suspect anything.
But when they arrived at Family Mu’s Hospital, Mu Qing looked a bit weird.
The strange thing was that Mu Qing normally looked handsome after he got out of his hospital scrubs, but today he looked so… dreadful.
She turned to look at Jing Yichen next to her. He looked calm as always and when she turned to look at Mu Qing again, he looked like a sunny doctor.
Shangguan Ning assumed that she had imagined it.
But she had missed Jing Yichen chilling glance which made Mu Qing shiver and straighten up.
Mu Qing didn’t go for Shangguan Ning’s wounded arm. Instead, he said with a smile, “Give me your left wrist.”
Shangguan Ning rolled up her sleeves in confusion and then stretched out the arm.
Mu Qing stopped talking and felt her pulse.
Shangguan Ning knew that Mu Qing had inherited his skills from his grandpa and was an excellent doctor. She was just assuming that he was conducting a routine check up by feeling the pulse.
But Mu Qing took turns in feeling Shangguan Ning’s left and right wrists and held onto each of them for a long time.
Mu Qing didn’t release her wrists until Jing Yichen frowned.
He knew why Master Jing was frowning – he had started to dislike it when Mu Qing’s hand lingered on to Shangguan Ning’s wrists for too long.
He rolled his eyes at Jing Yichen helplessly as if accusing him in silence –”would I know if there is anything wrong with her if I don’t feel her pulses long enough? I am a doctor, not an ordinary man. There is no need to get jealous of me for doing this.”
Jing Yichen understood what Mu Qing meant through his look.
He didn’t choose to get her checked up through devices, because they gave out too much radiation which was bad for Shangguan Ning’s health and also, Mu Qing could be more accurate and faster than devices sometimes.
But Jing Yichen had asked him to check up Shangguan Ning, not to feel her arms. So what if he was a doctor.
Therefore, when Jing Yichen saw Mu Qing’s fingers upon Shangguan Ning’s thin wrists, he wanted to chop off the annoying hand.
Master Jing was killing people with his look now.
He shivered in fright and immediately said, “Sister, I have checked you up thoroughly. You are are recovering well. But make sure not to carry heavy things in the coming month. You can do a CT in two weeks and see if the bone has healed completely.”
When the bullet hit Shangguan Ning’s upper arm, the bone had cracked. Mu Qing gave her some instructions in case any problem occurred in the future.
Shangguan Ning kept everything in mind, and nodded with gratitude.
Jing Yichen pushed her behind, sat down on the chair and said to Mu Qing coldly, “Alright, time to check me now.”
Mu Qing looked at him and said, “Are you sure you will be fine if I touch your wrist? Can you promise that my hand wouldn’t be broken and I won’t be thrown out of the window? My hands are my tools to make a living and support the family, so please don’t be impulsive. No one will treat you if I am dead.”
He knew pretty well that Jing Yichen didn’t like himself to be touched by anyone. So he had to be warned ahead of time.
There was one time when he had patted Jing Yichen’s shoulders twice and had ended up being smashed and in bed for two weeks.
He even remembered an occasion when Jing Yichen had gotten badly hurt and was injected by the nurse at the hospital who accidentally touched his hands. He had kicked the nurse away so violently that she spat blood. He also had started to puke, refusing to get injected any more. The needle needed to go into the blood vessels on the back of his hands and no doctor or nurse could manage that without touching his hands.
Mu Qing didn’t have any idea how Shangguan Ning had become close to Jing Yichen and why nothing happened to him however much she touched him. It seemed that he didn’t react like that to Shangguan Ning. What a bizarre thing!
Jing Yichen looked at Mu Qing and said calmly, “Don’t waste my time. I won’t promise anything if you are too slow.”
That meant that he might possibly punch people if he got out of control.
Mu Qing really wanted to stand up and strike the table at this moment –”are you asking me to check you up or am I asking you to do it? Why are you being so arrogant when you are asking me for a favor?” He had studied so hard, done so many operations and became a renowned doctor. But he still ended up being oppressed.
I am done with working for you.
But Mu Qing was just daydreaming. He didn’t dare to speak these words out, otherwise Jing Yichen might end his life at this very moment.
Mu Qing sighed in heart. Actually, he was also pleased.
Because in the entire A City, he was the only man Jing Yichen trusted. He wouldn’t ruin such a good relationship, one that everyone else dreamt to have.
Seeing Jing Yichen getting colder and colder in countenance, Mu Qing placed his fingers, obediently upon Master Jing’s wrist.
The moment he touched Jing Yichen, Mu Qing felt that Jing Yichen’s body froze. His face turned terribly pale.
How could it be so serious? He disinfected his hands many times a day as a doctor and his hands were very clean. Why did Jing Yichen look so disgusted as if he had swallowed down faeces?
Shangguan Ning was also confused about what Mu Qing said. She wondered why Mu Qing needed to ask Jing Yichen if he could touch his wrist. But when she saw Jing Yichen’s face as he placed the fingers upon Jing Yichen’s wrists, she was really surprised.
