Chapter 213: Dr. Fu, You’re So Good, I Love You to Death

Chapter 213 Dr. Fu, You're So Sweet, I Adore You

When the store closed, Su He and Fu Tinghua counted the day's earnings together.

Wen Qing and Su Shiming had helped with handling cash in the store for a while, so whenever they had time, the couple assisted in sorting and counting the money, stacking it in bundles.

As a result, Su He and the others finished the inventory quickly, soon knowing the day's total revenue.

They made $782.50, not as much as yesterday, but that was because the durians arrived late, and she’d only put out half of today’s durian delivery, so there weren’t as many.

"I see a lot of your stock is almost gone. I’ll help you check stock, then you’ll need to get more," Fu Tinghua said, frowning as he looked at the shelves.

Su He: "......"

"Oh? No need, I’ve got this. Alright, stop worrying and go rest." Su He urged Fu Tinghua.

They closed at nine today, mainly because Su He was worried about Dr. Fu. She had told him to go home, but he refused, insisting on waiting for her.

It was as if he didn’t want her to handle the store alone.

Fu Tinghua gave Su He a helpless look and said, "I’m not tired at all, really."

Su He didn’t believe a word of it. In modern times, she’d often heard doctor friends complain about how exhausting their work was.

A single *surgery* for Dr. Fu could last several hours.

What’s more, back here, the medical equipment wasn’t as advanced as in the future, and there was a shortage of medical staff.

So Su He was sure Dr. Fu was way more worn out than her friends from her past life.

"Okay, okay, you’re not tired, but I am, okay? I want to go to sleep." Su He said with a stern face.

Ugh, this guy—so stubborn! Why wouldn’t he listen?

Seeing her serious expression, Fu Tinghua couldn’t help laughing.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. You—you *do* care about me, don’t you?" He lowered his head, gazing softly at Su He as he asked in a gentle voice.

Su He: "......"

Why did he suddenly have to make things so flirty?

"Sure, sure, I’m worried about you. Let’s go home."

With that, Su He grabbed Fu Tinghua’s hand, led him out of the shop, and locked up in one go.

Fu Tinghua: "......"

Walking hand in hand, the two slowly made their way home.

"Dr. Fu, do you think I should grow some other fruits to sell? Once durians aren’t new anymore, they’ll definitely become hard to sell. Besides, in just over a month, durians will be out of season." They chatted as they walked.

"Mhm, what kind of fruit do you want to grow?" Fu Tinghua asked.

"Something affordable that everyone can enjoy, preferably something people can eat during the New Year. What do you think about *Sugar oranges*?"

*Sugar oranges*? What’s a *Sugar orange*? Fu Tinghua had never even heard of them.

But considering Su He might have a way to grow them, he held his tongue.

She hadn't come clean with herself yet, nor did she want herself to know his secret, so he decided to play dumb.

"Are you sure you can grow it? And it's already autumn—fruit takes time to grow, doesn't it?" Fu Tinghua pointed out some things to consider for Su He.

Su He herself wasn't even sure yet. She planned to enter her Space tonight and ask.

"It's just an idea for now. The oranges sold in the market don't seem very tasty, but Sugar oranges are different—they're really sweet."

Just thinking about it made Su He's mouth water.

She really missed the food from the modern world. Here, there was nothing—people just ate whatever kept them alive, never mind whether it tasted good or not.

Watching her eager expression, Fu Tinghua found her more and more adorable.

He reached out and ruffled Su He's hair, saying, "Do whatever you want. Don't worry about anyone investigating—I've got your back."

Hmm? Dr. Fu really understood her.

"Dr. Fu, do you think when I grow this durian, the government might come asking questions about where I got the seeds?" Su He blinked and couldn't help asking.

She had considered this before, but initially, her idea was to just say she bought the saplings on the black market.

After all, the aphrodisiac that the original host had given Fu Tinghua was also bought on the black market, wasn't it?

But now, thinking about it, if someone really wanted to investigate her, they'd probably find something suspicious about her saplings.

Still, her husband seemed to have some connections—hopefully, he could prevent trouble in advance.

"No one will investigate you," Fu Tinghua said after a moment of silence.

"Ah? Really? Why?" Her durians were selling like hotcakes lately.

Especially among the wealthy circles in Wencheng—hadn't almost everyone tried her durians by now?

"I've already reported it to the higher-ups in advance, so no one will come to check," Fu Tinghua said, leaving Su He speechless.

Actually, the first time he saw the durian tree, Fu Tinghua had known it was something special.

After returning to work, he looked into it thoroughly and confirmed that this fruit was indeed only grown abroad.

Back in school, he had once gone abroad for a six-month exchange program and still had contacts from foreign medical students he'd interned with.

When he asked around, one foreign friend actually knew about durians, so he immediately reported it.

The higher-ups were eager to introduce more foreign products to develop the country, so they gave him the green light for his application to grow durians without hesitation.

Now, learning this news, Su He was absolutely head over heels for her Dr. Fu.

Having such a husband who thinks ahead—she was truly lucky.

"But when you reported it, didn't they find it strange? How could you grow something like this?" Su He asked curiously.

Fu Tinghua chuckled and pinched Su He's cheek. "The world is full of strange things. Right now, the country is focused on developing private businesses and agriculture—who has time to investigate you?"

Honestly, the government had its hands full. Even if he hadn't reported it, there might not have been any department poking around Su He's business.

But just to be safe, Fu Tinghua still informed the higher-ups.

"That's a relief! Dr. Fu, you're the best—I love you so much!" Su He was practically bouncing with excitement.

This man—if she hadn't asked, would he have kept this good news from her forever? Would he have never told her?

Such a tease!
