Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 233 - 232: Sheng Zexi: Honey, You Have to Dote on Me More!
Although she knew Gu Jia Ning was concerned about the patient from a doctor’s perspective and remembered him.
It still delighted Li Tingxuan.
"Yes, thank you, Doctor Gu. I’ll pass it on."
"That’s good then." Gu Jia Ning had nothing more to say and intended to turn around and leave.
"Doctor Gu..." Yet, just as they were about to pass each other, Li Tingxuan called out to her.
Li Tingxuan gazed at her brows and eyes, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Doctor Gu, I’m sorry, for what Li Shuyao did to you before..."
It was only later, after the fake Li Shuyao incident was discovered, that Li Tingxuan realized, just because she was jealous that Sheng Zexi married Gu Jia Ning, Li Shuyao had attempted to harm Gu Jia Ning multiple times.
Gu Jia Ning was lucky; otherwise, she would have been harmed by Li Shuyao long ago.
That fake Li Shuyao was truly malicious.
At first, he thought, having grown up together, there would be some sibling affection between them.
But later, he realized that if Li Shuyao truly treated him as a brother and had any feelings for him, she wouldn’t have leaked the secret about his mission.
It should be known that while getting PTSD from that failed mission was mild, if not for luck, he could have died directly.
So, since Li Shuyao had no feelings for him as a brother, why should he have any feelings?
Gu Jia Ning didn’t expect Li Tingxuan to apologize to her because of Li Shuyao’s matters.
She shook her head and said, "That has nothing to do with you; you don’t need to apologize."
In reality, the Li family was also a victim.
The real Li Shuyao had died long ago; the one pretending was an imposter.
So, when she found out that the fake Li Shuyao was from Country R, she no longer blamed Li Tingxuan.
"Ningning..."
At this moment, Gu Jia Ning heard a familiar call.
Gu Jia Ning looked up to see Sheng Zexi walking towards her briskly.
Gu Jia Ning quickly responded, "Comrade Li, my husband is here to pick me up. I’ll leave now."
"Okay."
Li Tingxuan watched as Gu Jia Ning cheerfully walked towards Sheng Zexi.
As they locked eyes, Sheng Zexi’s gaze seemed indifferent, as if it could instantly see through him.
For a moment, Li Tingxuan awkwardly looked away, feeling that Sheng Zexi had seen through his mind.
Over here, Sheng Zexi coldly looked at Li Tingxuan.
This Li Tingxuan, his appearance, his aura, isn’t he just a high-end version of Wen Zhqing?
That was the type Ningning used to like.
Ningning towards Li Tingxuan...
Although Sheng Zexi could be sure that Ningning’s heart was currently with him, this Li Tingxuan, his intentions were not simple.
"Brother Xi, what are you looking at? Let’s go home." At this moment, Gu Jia Ning’s voice brought Sheng Zexi’s mind back.
Sheng Zexi took Gu Jia Ning’s hand and led her in the direction of home. He then casually asked, "Were you just talking to Li Tingxuan?"
"Hmm, do you know Li Tingxuan?"
"Of course I know." That’s Li Tingxuan, the pride of our Beijing Mansion, the typical ’someone else’s child.’
Back then, when the old man at home scolded him, he used to compare him with Li Tingxuan.
Saying he was inferior to Li Tingxuan in every aspect, and not as obedient as Li Tingxuan.
Sheng Zexi dismissed this; in modern terms, he never accepted anyone’s PUA.
Sheng Zexi was very confident; he thought he was fine the way he was.
He would always strive harder but never compare himself to others.
But now...
In front of Gu Jia Ning, at this moment, Sheng Zexi found himself comparing for the first time.
If, if back then, he and Li Tingxuan had both asked Ningning to marry them, would Ningning have chosen him or Li Tingxuan?
For the first time, Sheng Zexi was unsure, and even felt somewhat inferior.
Love really can make one lose confidence.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Jia Ning noticed something was off and asked.
"What did you just talk about with Li Tingxuan?" Sheng Zexi asked.
As soon as he spoke, Sheng Zexi regretted it.
He knew he shouldn’t have asked, especially in such a somewhat aggressive tone.
Gu Jia Ning, however, didn’t think much of it and openly shared what she had just talked about with Li Tingxuan.
Sheng Zexi knew they hadn’t talked about anything significant, but still...
Gu Jia Ning could tell he still seemed off.
However, she didn’t ask further for the time being.
On their way back, the two remained silent.
Sheng Zexi felt very uneasy.
It’s over, it’s over, is Ningning mad at me?
Sheng Zexi, why couldn’t you just hold your focus?
So, upon returning home and greeting his grandmother, Sheng Zexi pulled Gu Jia Ning into their room.
As soon as the door closed, Sheng Zexi tightly hugged Gu Jia Ning.
"I’m sorry."
Just as Gu Jia Ning was about to speak, she heard his muffled apology coming from her shoulder.
Gu Jia Ning’s eyes flickered slightly, "Oh, why are you saying sorry?"
"I shouldn’t have asked you in that tone, and I shouldn’t, shouldn’t have..."
The man stammered, finally squeezing out the words "been jealous."
Gu Jia Ning realized it then; he was jealous.
Thinking of Li Tingxuan’s type, then considering Wen Zhqing’s appearance, Gu Jia Ning instantly understood.
"Ningning, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be jealous."
"I just think Li Tingxuan doesn’t have good intentions."
"Why can’t he just stay at Beijing Military District, yet he wants to transfer to the Northwest Military Region."
"Even purposely talking to you, he’s definitely up to no good."
"Ningning, that guy’s not good. Don’t be fooled by his gentle appearance; who knows what he’s really like."
"Don’t be deceived by him."
Hearing his words, Gu Jia Ning found it both funny and annoying.
"I was the one who initiated the conversation; he probably didn’t have those intentions."
Gu Jia Ning explained, feeling that Li Tingxuan’s eyes showed no overt emotions.
So, it probably wasn’t like brother Xi said.
"You’re just overthinking it."
Sheng Zexi: I’m not overthinking; it’s just a man’s instinct when facing a rival in love.
Nevertheless, since Gu Jia Ning said so, he didn’t say much more.
He just hugged Gu Jia Ning, feeling wronged, like a big puppy that had suffered a great grievance outside and was now seeking comfort from its owner at home.
If others at the military could see Sheng Zexi like this, they would be utterly shocked.
Vice Commander Sheng, are you still the legendary Jade-faced Yama like this?
Sheng Zexi: What Jade-faced Yama? I just want to hug my wife, I just want my wife to care for me more and not be charmed away by some flashy outsider.
The way Sheng Zexi acted indeed made Gu Jia Ning find it both funny and lovable.
Actually, Gu Jia Ning wasn’t even mad.
The silence on the way back was more out of feeling it was inappropriate outside; she wanted to talk to him at home.
Unexpectedly, she hadn’t even said anything, yet he had talked so much and even apologized.
Gu Jia Ning: Since you’re apologizing, should I just accept it?
