Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 257 - 231: Arranging a Child Engagement
Chapter 257: Chapter 231: Arranging a Child Engagement
Although she couldn’t hear very clearly through the phone, Ji Sang guessed who the person knocking at the door was based on a woman’s sharp intuition.
The words that were about to leave her mouth suddenly became hard to utter, and her brain seemed to hit a pause button at that moment.
Fu Yisi noticed Ji Sang’s hesitation, glanced at the door, and continued to speak gently into the phone,
"Uh-huh? Just make it simple, no need to fuss over it."
Ji Sang pursed her lips. She knew what kind of person Fu Yisi was, and she remembered quite clearly how he had treated Dr. Qin. Logic told her there was nothing to worry about. Yet, as Fu Yisi’s wife, on an emotional level, she couldn’t help but care.
"Yeah, you go ahead and get busy."
Sensing the shift in Ji Sang’s emotions, Fu Yisi’s eyes softened slightly.
"Wait for me to come back, thanks for your hard work, wife."
The term "wife" was something Fu Yisi only used when she had just returned to the country and he wanted to bridge the distance between them, preferring to call her Mrs. Fu on a regular basis.
Ji Sang liked both appellations.
But hearing "wife" unexpectedly today made her heart irrepressibly happy.
Fu Yisi already had a well-traveled road on how to please Ji Sang.
"Okay, come back soon."
Ji Sang didn’t chat much longer; Sister and the others would arrive soon, so she needed to go down and get things ready.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yisi then responded to the person outside,
"Come in."
It was indeed Qin Wen.
Ever since Ji Sang’s emotional outburst at the hospital last time, Qin Wen had consciously avoided situations with Fu Yisi. To a person like Fu Yisi, one extra glance could pull you in even deeper.
This time...
She had no other choice.
Fu Yisi glanced at her and then refocused on the documents.
Qin Wen subconsciously moderated her breathing. After standing for almost a minute, she realized that Fu Yisi didn’t seem to care or wonder why she had come to see him.
Laughable, isn’t it? She still couldn’t comfortably share the same space with him.
"Your department doesn’t seem to be very busy."
Qin Wen snapped back to reality, finally understanding what Fu Yisi’s words meant.
He was chiding her for dawdling.
Composing herself, Qin Wen finally spoke softly,
"My cousin was in a car accident. The surgery at the Third Hospital didn’t go well, and next week he will be transferred to our hospital. I... I would like to ask Senior to take the lead in my cousin’s surgery."
Truth be told, Qin Wen was not sure.
She wasn’t close with her cousin’s family, but it involved her cousin’s future, and her uncle had pleaded for her help, so she couldn’t possibly refuse.
She also knew that the surgeries Fu Yisi chose to perform were very difficult and considered valuable before he scheduled them.
"After the transfer, there will be a doctor from the department handling it."
Just as expected.
Qin Wen bit her lip, not ready to give up, and asked again,
"Is Senior’s surgery schedule completely full?"
Fu Yisi paused in his work and looked up at her.
"The doctors will analyze the patient’s condition."
As for who the lead surgeon will be, it naturally depends on the patient’s condition to determine the difficulty of the surgery.
In other words, even if Fu Yisi had gaps in his schedule, if another doctor could perform this surgery, he would not intervene.
Qin Wen was also medically trained; she understood very well what Fu Yisi’s words meant.
"I understand. Then... I’ll be leaving now."
Fu Yisi looked down, continuing his work.
Qin Wen’s arrival and departure seemed to have nothing to do with him.
This was the first thought that came to Qin Wen’s mind after she walked out of the office.
Yeah, what was she really hoping for?
Humph, she actually entertained the notion that she could get his help.
She’d known for a long time that with Fu Yisi, no one could be an exception, except for Ji Sang.
Except for his Mrs. Fu....
Why was there still this laughable expectation hidden deep in her heart?
Qin Wen curled the corners of her mouth.
This was her self-mockery.
....
On the other hand, a minute after Ji Sang smiled and hung up the phone, she realized something was amiss.
She had been fooled again by Fu Yisi’s calling her ’wife’. What did Dr. Qin come to him for? Their department’s collaboration with the surgery department, if she wasn’t mistaken, should be quite rare, right?
Walking a few steps, Ji Sang raised her hand, ruffled her own hair, and muttered,
"Annoying, stop thinking about it, Fu Yisi isn’t interested in her, are you actually afraid Dr. Qin would do something?"
Yes, she was afraid.
It was something totally beyond her control.
After all, Dr. Qin genuinely liked Fu Yisi. Even if Ji Sang knew in her heart that Qin Wen was probably planning to give up, what of it?
The woman who liked her husband was chatting with her husband in the same office about work.
Damn the caring.
Damn the inability to be magnanimous.
Ji Sang wasn’t sure if this behaviour of hers was good or bad.
For a long while,
the empty Yujing Apartment echoed with just Ji Sang alone, "Ahhh, Fu Yisi, you are so annoying, why are you so outstanding!"
...
Han City first took Su Ge to the Yujing Apartment to rest before grabbing Ling Yuxuan to go shopping for groceries together, two grown men.
This was Su Ge’s first visit to Ji Sang’s marital home, and naturally, she was extremely curious.
"Quick, quick, quick, bring Sister over to see your living quarters."
As Su Ge said this, she even lifted her hands high, just waiting for Ji Sang to help her along.
Ji Sang walked over to her with a smile,
"Yes, Sister, please be careful, and don’t bump into our little treasure."
The exclusive interaction mode between best friends successfully got the two laughing happily.
Ji Sang first took Su Ge to look around the first floor, then carefully helped her to the second floor.
Su Ge looked amused as she watched Ji Sang’s overly cautious gaze,
"Tsk, you’re just like Han City, even scared I’ll take a fall just walking. I’m a model, I can walk a runway confidently in ten-centimeter high heels, let alone just going upstairs."
Ji Sang chuckled but did not let go of Su Ge’s hand.
"Don’t use your profession to talk, you still need to be careful when you should be."
Su Ge was just getting it off her chest.
"Ey, just imagine, after the baby is born, he or she will have their loving dad, mom, grandparents, maternal grandparents, plus such a beautiful godmother, and so many handsome uncles, how blessed that would be."
"When the time comes, I’ll definitely dress her up bright and beautiful."
Ji Sang chuckled,
"What if it’s a little boy?"
"Then I’ll make sure he’s dressed cool and dashing."
As her, Su Ge’s child, he mustn’t look bad.
But indeed, with the genetics in place, there’s no way he wouldn’t look good.
"Alright, godmother will be in charge of preparing the clothes then."
Su Ge laughed more than before after getting pregnant.
"Hey, by the way, Ah Shang, when do you and Fu Yisi plan on having kids? Maybe, you could arrange a baby betrothal for them."
