After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 1: Chance Encounter

"There are injured here, come and help——"

Rescue calls kept coming through the communicator.

Just yesterday, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck Ningjiang City.

Tang Xi is a surgeon at North City's First Hospital. She rushed to the site for rescue operations with a medical team organized by the hospital yesterday morning.

She found a victim in the rubble, covered in mud and blood, with indistinguishable facial features and unconscious. His left leg was pinned down by a heavy stone slab, preventing his escape.

Tang Xi immediately shared the rescue location via the communication tool and began emergency treatment for him.

About three to four minutes later.

The man opened his eyes.

Tang Xi met his dark, deep, and cold eyes.

This man had a strong aura!

The man's eyes shifted slightly. Due to severe blood loss, his vision blurred, and he could only faintly see a white figure in front of him, his voice was extremely hoarse and weak, "You are...."

Tang Xi was bandaging the man, trying to calm him, "I am a doctor, rest assured, rescue teams will be here soon to get you out, just hold on a little longer."

Tang Xi feared the prolonged pressure might lead to blood clots in the man's legs, risking amputation, and the man had various other wounds, risking fainting again from blood loss.

At this moment, the man's consciousness was weak, but he was determined not to fall asleep.

In the air, a faintly elegant fragrance was exceptionally different in the dusty and muddy ruins. The man clenched his fists, squinting hard trying to see the person in front of him clearly. Suddenly, his pupils trembled as he tried to push away the female doctor who was bandaging him, "Move away!"

In that moment, Tang Xi also felt it—aftershock was approaching with a shaking ground.

Above them, a piece of ceiling was about to fall down—

As a doctor, without a second thought, Tang Xi threw herself over him, shielding him from the heavy impact—

Her figure was slender but held a gentle strength, protecting him beneath her.

The man's dark eyes flashed with shock, seemingly in disbelief, "You...."

Everything turned dark in front of her, Tang Xi endured the pain in her back, biting her lip and struggling to support herself with her arms, "Are you alright?"

His voice was hoarse, "Why did you save me?"

Tang Xi smiled, "I am a doctor." She gently reassured him, concerned he might be scared and restless due to being trapped for too long, "Just hold on a bit longer, rescuers will.... will come to save us. Your leg will be okay."

At this moment, the complex shock in the man's eyes deepened.

In the darkness, the woman's eyes were clear yet bright.

After the aftershock, the rubble buried them and time slowly passed. Several times, just as Fu Tingzhou was about to faint, it was this female doctor who kept calling him back from the brink of death.

The gentle reassuring voice of the woman in front of him gave him a sliver of strength. He struggled to open his eyes and look at the white figure before him.

The man weakly asked, "What is your name, which hospital's doctor are you?"

Tang Xi was continuously trying to contact the rescue teams through the communicator, and with the man's weak voice, she overlooked his question in the emergency.

Bearing the pain in her back, Tang Xi took a water bottle from her bag, caressed it gently, and handed it to the man's mouth, "You should drink some water, you must be very thirsty."

The man said, "This is my nose."

Tang Xi couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, it's too dark here, I can't see clearly."

The woman's laughter sounded like a fresh spring, lingering in the man's mind.

She reached out, feeling for the man's face, and touched his high nose bridge. At that moment, Tang Xi thought that the man in front of her must be quite handsome—this nose, these facial contours.

He must be a very handsome man.

Trapped for 24 hours, he had reached his limit, staring at the blurry white figure before him. He grabbed her clothes and asked again, "What's your... name...."

Then his head heavily tilted, and he fainted.

Tang Xi also reached her limit.

Suddenly, a beam of light came through—

The rescue team got them out.

The man was placed on a stretcher, unconscious, his fingers tightly clenched. The nurse pried open his fingers to find a badge inside, which read:

"North City First Renmin Hospital, Department of Psychology, Su Mengshu."

After being rescued, Tang Xi went to the makeshift hospital for dressing, the woman's smooth, fair back was bleeding continuously from a five-centimeter long wound.

A female doctor was treating her wound, "This wound is pretty deep, bear with the pain."

Tang Xi gritted her teeth, "Hmm."

"You're from the First Hospital, I'm from the Third Hospital."

"Yes, my name is Tang Xi."

The female doctor removed her mask, "My name is Xu Jiayi, by the way, this was found by rescue workers in the rubble, they thought it was yours, so they brought it over."

What Xu Jiayi handed over was a jade pendant.

The color was warm and translucent white, styled with a peace buckle, and a black pendant string.

Tang Xi took it, this wasn't hers, could it belong to the man also trapped in the rubble?

Tang Xi asked Xu Jiayi to help find out about the man who was trapped with her. She brought news back that afternoon.

A young man whose legs were trapped under the rubble was rescued, but died shortly after.

Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, inevitably feeling a sense of sorrow.

-

After a week in the disaster area, on Sunday, various support teams began their return journey.

On the bus, the team leader was checking the number of people.

"Where is Su Mengshu? Why isn't she on the bus?"

"Don't look for her anymore, she won't be taking the bus back with us common folks, she's returning to North City on a private plane, she might have already landed by now."

"You guys might not know, but she saved a big shot during the earthquake, maybe she doesn't even care about working at our hospital anymore, she's going to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich lady."

On the side, a female doctor gossiped with Tang Xi, "Doctor Tang, do you know about Su Mengshu's situation? Isn't she your sister? You were both resting in the same tent."

Tang Xi was very tired, her back wound had not fully healed, she leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes to rest.

Seeing her unresponsive, the female doctor raised her eyebrows and whispered to other doctors nearby, "What a gap between sisters, Su Mengshu is about to become a rich lady."

When Tang Xi returned to the Su Family's home in North City, it was already past 3 PM.

The housekeeper, Zhang Ma, happily said upon seeing her, "The Second Miss is back."

Tang Xi looked at the people sitting on the sofa, "Dad, Mom."

Su Kangrong glanced over, "You're back."

Xia Minjun snorted coldly, speaking disdainfully, "Second Miss? A daughter of a murderer. I could never give birth to such an ominous thing..."

Zhang Ma sighed and shook her head as she headed to the kitchen.

Having been a housekeeper in the Su Family for over ten years, Zhang Ma naturally knew how much Lady Su disliked Tang Xi.

Although Tang Xi was nominally the Second Miss, her status was more or less the same as a housekeeper.

At the dining table, there was a warm scene of Su Mengshu being affectionate with Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun.

Tang Xi's fingers were ice-cold, she held her soup bowl and took a few sips, finding the meal tasteless.

This scene of warmth had nothing to do with her.

Because Tang Xi was not the biological daughter of the Su Family.

Su Mengshu suffered from a rare blood disorder known as hemophilia, and even had the extremely rare Panda blood type, Rh-negative. Even a small wound could cause unstoppable bleeding and threaten her life. Su Kangrong, in an attempt to avoid future accidents, eventually managed to contact a welfare hospital.

The 8-year-old orphan, Tang Xi, was successfully matched with Su Mengshu's blood type.

Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun then adopted Tang Xi under the pretense, but in reality, they used Tang Xi as a mobile blood bank.
