Su Lenghan's unconscious body was seen by a doctor who was passing by, and he was immediately sent to the emergency room . When he woke up, he was already in a hospital room, and a doctor was setting up an IV drip for him .
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief . "You're finally awake . Your stomach's unwell and your body has malnutrition from overworking . If you continue to work beyond your limits and neglect your health, you will compromise your body's immune system and will fall sick easily . You already have strands of white hair . " The doctor was also a man with a family, so he sympathized a lot with Su Lenghan . Thinking about his virtuous wife at home, he felt blessed .
Naturally, Su Lenghan noticed the pity in the doctor's eyes . He laughed self-deprecatingly and asked, "Do you find me pathetic?" He knew that this was all his own doing .
The doctor quickly shook his head . He was only a chief physician and couldn't afford to offend the noble families . After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse, so he did not dare to offend Young Master Su .
"It's okay . Feel free to say what's on your mind . "
The doctor coughed . "Young Master Su, frankly speaking, I used to be envious of you because you're a young master from a noble family, but now that I think about it, we commoners have our perks as well . My wife is virtuous and understanding, and she's filial towards my parents . Whenever I return home from work, I get to eat a warm meal, and she always asks me about my day and if I'm tired . I didn't think much about it, but when I look at Young Master Su, I started appreciating my wife more . "
Su Lenghan's expression changed . He wished to become an ordinary person and experience a quiet and peaceful life, but there was no turning back now . From the day he abandoned Yun Bixue, he lost any choice he had .
After a while, Su Lenghan sighed . "Cherish your wife . Don't be like me, regretting it only after I've lost her . "
The doctor initially thought that Su Lenghan would get angry, so he was a little overwhelmed when he received an earnest reply . He said, "Young Master Su, you have to take good care of yourself too . You will eventually live your life on your own terms . "
Su Lenghan didn't reply . He looked at the sky outside the window and sat up abruptly before asking, "What time is it?"
"It's past four in the afternoon . "
Su Lenghan's expression changed as he thought about his meeting with Yun Bixue later . He got off the bed at once and headed towards the door .
"Young Master Su, you shouldn't move . The IV drip is still attached!"
Gritting his teeth, Su Lenghan tugged the IV catheter out of his hand and ran out . No matter what the doctor said behind him, he ignored it and continued running .
After Su Lenghan left the hospital building, he rushed towards his car at the parking lot and drove off . When he reached home, he brushed himself up so he wouldn't look frail . Remembering the doctor's words about his strands of white hair, he looked carefully in the mirror and plucked them out .
Su Lenghan had never fixed himself up this seriously—he thought of every detail . He did not prepare so meticulously even when he first chased after Meng Xinyan . Facing the mirror, he made sure that he was flawless .
When he was finally satisfied with his appearance, he grabbed his bag and left for the coffee shop .
…
At the coffee shop, Yun Bixue was already waiting for Su Lenghan . With a cup of coffee in her hand, she stared calmly at the scenery outside without any signs of anxiety . This was the place where she used to meet Su Lenghan . During those times, she was also the one waiting for him . If it was a long wait, she would feel anxious, but once Su Lenghan arrived, she would just smile and understand him, never questioning why he was late .
Now that her feelings had changed, it no longer bothered her that he was late .
