Chapter 101 Holding Hands

Chapter 101 An Intimate Moment

Seeing Chen Jinrong staring at Su He, Fu Tinghua couldn’t help but frown and asked, "What’s up?"

Chen Jinrong was so shocked because he realized he had misjudged Fu Tinghua all along.

In his mind, Fu Tinghua had always seemed like an ascetic saint, completely uninterested in any woman who showed interest in him.

But this time, he had openly brought such a beautiful woman to the hospital? No way!

"Ting Hua, who’s this?" Chen Jinrong glanced at Su He, then back at Fu Tinghua, and asked.

She gave him a soft smile and replied, "Hello, I’m Su He, Ting Hua's wife."

"Oh, so you're Dr. Fu's wife." It took a second to sink in, and Chen Jinrong's eyes widened in disbelief.

What did she say? She was Dr. Fu's wife?!

"What’s that face for?" Fu Tinghua shot Chen Jinrong a sharp glare.

"Uh... nothing. Just—your wife’s really beautiful."

So Fu Tinghua had been eating *good* this whole time? Who the hell was saying his wife was ugly and fat?

After locking the door and returning to his office, Fu Tinghua shut the door the second they stepped in.

Su He blinked. Why did this feel like some office affair? Her brain short-circuited with *very* inappropriate ideas.

After locking the door, Fu Tinghua turned around and noticed a pink flush creeping up Su He’s cheeks.

"You feeling hot?"

He flicked on the fan before she could reply.

Su He froze.

"Come here, I’ll measure your height and weight," Fu Tinghua suddenly said.

*Weird. Shouldn’t a nurse do this?* But she figured Fu Tinghua didn’t want to trouble others, so he was doing it himself.

In reality, Fu Tinghua was considering that she might not want to reveal her weight in front of others, so he decided to measure her privately in his office.

As soon as Su He stepped onto the scale, her weight appeared.

118 lbs—down two from last time.

When measuring her height, Fu Tinghua thoughtfully laid out a mat for her since she had to remove her shoes and stand barefoot on the floor.

A height chart hung on the wall. Su He pressed her back against it, her toes curling self-consciously on the mat, and said, "I’m around 5’4”. Can you check?"

Her pale feet fidgeted, and his throat went dry. "Lemme check—the angle’s off."

With that, he suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance between them.

Fu Tinghua towered over her by a head, and his sudden proximity made her seem even more petite.

Close enough to feel each other’s breath.

*Could she hear his heart slamming against his ribs?* All Fu Tinghua knew was that his heart was racing.

At this moment, their posture looked as though Fu Tinghua was pulling Su He into his arms.

"So... are you done?" Su He asked when Fu Tinghua stayed silent for too long.

She suspected Fu Tinghua was trying to cop a feel, but she had no proof.

"Cough, yes, done. 162 cm." Only then did Fu Tinghua focus on the measurement chart above Su He’s head—his mind had been totally distracted earlier.

However, upon hearing Fu Tinghua say she was only 162 cm, Su He felt like her world was ending.

"What! Look again, it should be 163 cm!" Su He protested.

"Then stand a little straighter."

Su He immediately stood tall, obediently lifting her head and puffing out her chest.

Fu Tinghua was holding back a grin at her rare childish behavior. "Huh, you’re right—163 cm," he said casually. "My mistake, sorry."

Su He: ...Told you! She’d measured several times—how could it possibly be 162 cm?

If it were 162 cm, she’d have to drop even more pounds to meet her goal.

After recording Su He’s height and weight on the form, Fu Tinghua took her to other departments for additional tests.

At every department, doctors curiously asked who Su He was, and Fu Tinghua freely admitted she was his wife without hesitation.

By noon, every doctor and nurse in the hospital had confirmed that the beautiful woman Dr. Fu brought in was indeed his rumored-to-be-overweight wife—Su He.

In an instant, all those women waiting in the wings for Fu Tinghua’s divorce were quietly nursing their broken hearts elsewhere.

Since they took the fast track, Su He finished all her tests by the morning, though some results wouldn’t come back until the afternoon.

Certain blood tests wouldn’t come back until next week.

When lunchtime arrived, Fu Tinghua asked, "What do you feel like eating?"

"Mind if we hit up your cafeteria? I’ve never been to your hospital’s canteen before," Su He replied with a smile.

"If you want to, then let’s go."

The moment Fu Tinghua and Su He entered the hospital cafeteria, they instantly drew the attention of everyone inside.

After all, the subjects of the morning’s gossip had just appeared before them—how could they not be excited? This was front-row tickets to the show.

Fu Tinghua had always been the center of attention, so he was used to the stares and brushed it off.

But worried Su He might feel uneasy, he reassured her, "It’s fine, just ignore them. Go snag a seat, and I’ll get the food for you."

Su He wasn’t nervous at all. Why had she wanted to eat at Fu Tinghua’s cafeteria? Naturally, to mark her territory.

And if she was going to make it crystal clear, she had to take action.

So for the first time, she took the initiative to move closer to Fu Tinghua, sliding her hand into his, saying, "Everyone’s staring... it’s making me nervous."

This was the first time they had held hands, and Fu Tinghua never imagined it would happen in such a setting.

But he didn’t mind public displays of affection at all—in fact, he was thrilled she’d made the first move.

Squeezing her hand gently, Fu Tinghua tried to sound casual and said, "Okay, then let’s grab food together."

The other hospital staff were stunned to see Dr. Fu actually holding a woman's hand.

Was this really their aloof heartthrob, who had never shown interest in women? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Yet there he was—Fu Tinghua holding Su He's hand tightly, refusing to let go even while getting lunch.

Su He had initially intended it as just for appearances, but seeing that Fu Tinghua had no intention of releasing her hand, she simply let him keep holding it.

The cafeteria worker, seeing Fu Tinghua bring someone to eat for the first time, couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Fu, is this your wife?"
