Your Boss’ First Love

Gu Wencheng slowly opened his eyes, a glint of icy determination in his gaze.

Observing this, Su Han realized he might have overstepped his bounds. He clicked his tongue twice and sighed, “Alright, alright. Take care of yourself. Do you want me to call that young lady to come in and keep you company?”

Gu Wencheng remained silent. Su Han gave him a knowing look and turned to make his exit.

Meanwhile, Meng Nianyao had also learned of Gu Wencheng’s injury by inquiring with a nurse. She fixed Ping Yang with a frosty glare, making him squirm uncomfortably.

“I’d like to know, since when does a debridement procedure require the signature of a family member?”

Ping Yang hung his head in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Lady Boss. The hospital has a policy that necessitates the patient’s family member to sign off.”

Meng Nianyao’s eyes narrowed as she retorted, “Is that so? Then perhaps this hospital ought to be taken to court and shut down for this requirement. Without the patient’s family member’s signature, it seems the hospital should be legally challenged, doesn’t it?”

Ping Yang was left utterly speechless.

The door to the operating room swung open, and Su Han emerged. He had overheard Meng Nianyao’s comments and sported a mischievous grin. “Is our dear family member dissatisfied with the hospital’s rules?”

Meng Nianyao shot him a sharp look. Su Han shrugged nonchalantly. “Well, if you’re not satisfied, there’s not much we can do. Who asked you to choose this hospital? The patient’s wound has been treated. You can go inside and check on him.”

Feeling somewhat played, Meng Nianyao swallowed her frustration and promptly entered the operating room.

Su Han leaned in towards Ping Yang, whispering conspiratorially, “Don’t you think she bears a striking resemblance to your boss’s first love?” Then he chuckled, realizing, “I forgot, you haven’t seen your boss’s first love…”

Su Han observed Meng Nianyao’s departure and pushed his glasses up his nose bridge. He continued to gossip with Ping Yang, “If your boss’s suspicions are true, and Meng Nianyao is indeed a spy sent by his adversary, why would he choose to marry her when he surely has other methods to deal with her?”

Ping Yang was left flabbergasted. He had no adequate response to this perplexing question.

Su Han, undeterred, inquired with enthusiasm, “Do you reckon your boss might be acting selfishly? Perhaps he’s seeking a replacement for his first love?”

Ping Yang remained silent.

As Meng Nianyao entered the operating room, she found Gu Wencheng being assisted into a wheelchair by a nurse.

Upon seeing her, Gu Wencheng extended his hand. “Mrs. Gu, would you please push me to the ward?”

Meng Nianyao hesitated for a moment before obliging. Although Gu Wencheng had only injured his leg, the wound was lengthy and deep. Fearing infection, he required anti-inflammatory medication and overnight observation.

Once inside the ward, a nurse soon arrived to administer an IV drip to Gu Wencheng. Curiously, Ping Yang was conspicuously absent. Meng Nianyao contemplated leaving but couldn’t bear to leave Gu Wencheng alone. She remained in the ward, silently observing as the nurse attended to Gu Wencheng’s treatment.

After the nurse’s departure, the ward fell into a heavy silence.

Gu Wencheng maintained his gaze on Meng Nianyao, unblinking. However, Meng Nianyao showed no reaction. After a while, she finally looked up at him and asked, “Is there something on your mind?”

Gu Wencheng met Meng Nianyao’s familiar gaze and spoke with a subtle smile, “Mrs. Gu, you seem rather impatient. Are you wondering why Ping Yang hasn’t returned yet?”

Meng Nianyao remained reticent.

Gu Wencheng closed his eyes momentarily, a faint smile playing at his lips. “Ping Yang went to handle the car accident and won’t be back for some time. Mrs. Gu, I must request your company for the night.”

Meng Nianyao clenched her teeth. “Very well. After all, President Gu is temporarily disabled!”

She moved to a nearby sofa and took a seat.

Gu Wencheng observed her with a faint, enigmatic smile.

The following morning, Gu Wencheng was discharged from the hospital. However, Ping Yang was still nowhere to be found. The driver was tasked with bringing them back to their apartment. Recent rains had left Gu Wencheng’s trousers soaked, exacerbating his leg injury.

Upon returning to their apartment, Meng Nianyao insisted that Gu Wencheng change into dry clothes. She then began searching for the medicine box but struggled to locate it. Unfamiliar with the apartment’s layout, she combed through every cupboard to no avail. Finally, she had no choice but to call Ping Yang for assistance.

“The medicine box is in the third row of cabinets in the study, at the bottom.”

Once Meng Nianyao had retrieved the medicine box and returned to the living room, she found Gu Wencheng seated on the sofa. He was examining the divorce agreement and bank card she had placed on the coffee table the day before yesterday.

“Mrs. Gu, we haven’t even been married for three days, and you’re already contemplating divorce?”
