Chapter 100: Did Dr. Fu Remarry?

Chapter 100: Is Dr. Fu Remarried?

Witnessing Fu Tinghua’s sudden shift in expression, Qin Meixuan’s smile slipped briefly.

But recalling Fu Tinghua’s usual aloofness, she quickly composed herself.

"Want to head in together?" Qin Meixuan asked with a smile.

"No, I took the day off to accompany my wife for a check-up," Fu Tinghua replied coolly.

Her smile stiffened entirely.

"W...wife?"

Only then did she notice Su He standing beside Fu Tinghua.

Su He, though, was unfazed. When Qin Meixuan’s gaze shifted to her, she greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, I’m Fu Tinghua’s wife."

*So back off already,* Su He thought irritably. It baffled her—Fu Tinghua never hid the fact that he was married, so why were there still so many women throwing themselves at him?

Wasn’t reputation everything these days?

While Su He was clueless, Fu Tinghua’s fans got it. If they ever landed him, no one would blame them. Instead, people would cheer, believing Fu Tinghua had finally ditched his ‘fat, messy’ wife.

So they felt zero guilt—they genuinely believed they were rescuing Dr. Fu from a miserable marriage.

Director’s daughter Qin Meixuan was no exception.

Her dad had raved about an exceptionally talented doctor at their hospital and wanted to introduce them. At first, Qin Meixuan had scoffed—she had guys lining up; why bother with a setup?

But before her father could make the introduction, he broke the news: the outstanding doctor was already married—meaning he couldn’t become his son-in-law.

Qin Meixuan had assumed her father was exaggerating. How remarkable could this man really be?

Then she joined the hospital and met the man who would ruin her for other men—only then did she realize her father hadn’t been exaggerating at all.

*Thanks a lot, Dad,* she thought bitterly. *You kept going on about how brilliant Dr. Fu was, but you never mentioned how stupidly hot he is!*

Once inside the hospital, she discovered that every single woman there—married or not—considered Dr. Fu their dream man. That only made Qin Meixuan want him more.

Hearing the rumors about his wife, she was furious.

*Why her and not me?*

Everyone said Dr. Fu would surely divorce eventually, so she waited, turning away countless suitors just for the chance to be with Fu Tinghua.

But out of the blue, she ran into him bringing Su He to the hospital for a check-up?

*What kind of check-up? Could she be pregnant with their third child?*

The kicker? Dr. Fu’s wife was nothing like the rumored fat, ugly, and slovenly woman.

Look at how she's dressed—put-together and classy, even more polished and poised than a working professional like me.

Qin Meixuan had never seen Su He before—firstly because Su He rarely went out, and secondly because, with Qin Meixuan's pride, she was too arrogant to deliberately hunt someone down just to compare whether the wife of the man she had a crush on was prettier than her.

She knew the answer was obvious—Dr. Fu's wife was so fat that measuring herself against her would only make her look desperate.

But today, seeing Su He in person...

"Oh, hi..." Qin Meixuan’s smile went plastic.

Not wanting to embarrass herself further, she quickly said, "I'm about to be late, so I’ll get going now."

Then she bolted like a scared rabbit.

Watching her retreating figure, Su He couldn’t help but tutted.

That sensitive? Even weaker than Zhu Yurong.

But then again, these rich young ladies were usually spoon-fed by Daddy’s money—not exactly master manipulators.

"It’s not what you think," Fu Tinghua explained nervously as Su He kept staring at Qin Meixuan’s back.

Hearing this, Su He was momentarily stunned before snorting.

"Dr. Fu, why does that sound like you're protesting too much?" she teased.

"Really, there’s nothing. Everyone at the hospital knows I’m married."

That was the scariest part—they all knew he was off-limits but still flirted shamelessly.

But this was just Su He’s internal commentary; she didn’t voice it to Fu Tinghua.

No point sending him into overdrive.

"Ready to roll? You finished?" Su He asked.

"Yeah, let’s go."

Fu Tinghua nodded and then led Su He into the hospital.

By now, the registration desk had staff on duty. Since Fu Tinghua was bringing a family member for a check-up, they naturally took the back entrance with his VIP pass, skipping the registration line.

Not only that, but the examination fees also got the staff discount—a fat-cat doctor privilege.

The nurses at the station immediately chirped greetings at Fu Tinghua as he passed.

"Good morning, Dr. Fu."

"Dr. Fu."

"Morning, Dr. Fu."

Seeing that face first thing in the morning gave them their daily serotonin boost.

But who was that knockout with Dr. Fu? It was the first female companion they’d ever seen him with—and he was practically hovering over her!

"Who is the woman with Dr. Fu?"

"No idea."

"She's quite pretty."

"Maybe a relative or something?"

Then a quiet nurse nearby timidly spoke up, "I think that's Dr. Fu's wife."

"What!"

"No way!"

"What are you talking about? His wife doesn't look like that!"

The nurse hesitated but continued, "It's true. Dr. Fu applied for an immediate family physical this Monday, and I was the one who received the form. The relationship field said 'spouse.'"

That shut everyone up immediately.

Holy crap!

A few had glimpsed Dr. Fu's wife before, though only from a distance.

"Did he remarry? So we're out of luck now?" someone couldn’t help but lament.

"Oh please, think about it. Dr. Fu just got back from the border recently—how could he have had time to remarry?"

"Wasn't his wife gone for a while? Did she go to lose weight?"

"Goodness, how fast she changed—it's like some medical miracle!"

The nurses kept chattering and gossiping about Fu Tinghua.

With just a few minutes left before shift start, the head nurse noticed the commotion and gave them a sharp look, finally cutting off the gossip.

Meanwhile, Fu Tinghua escorted Su He to his office. As they walked down the hall, they bumped into his colleague Chen Jinrong, who was also arriving for work.

Chen Jinrong was a surgeon as well—the head of the surgical department.

Spotting a woman beside Fu Tinghua, he did a double take.

When he got a clear view of Su He’s face, his jaw dropped.
