Chapter 488: Shin and Huian (7)
Chapter 488: Shin and Huian (7)
The wedding went on without a hitch, and soon the officiant introduced Mr. and Mrs. Liang to everyone.
Shin gently squeezed Huian’s hand in his and whispered. “Now, I can finally say that you are my wife.”
Huian blushed. “Yes, husband.”
An imaginary arrow struck his heart, and it raced faster in utter joy, hearing the word husband.
“Congratulations!” Everybody cheered.
Xiang Wei hugged Shin and whispered. “Thank you for not letting her down.” His voice was hoarse as he spoke.
Shin smiled. “I promised you, didn’t I? That I will always keep Huian happy and never let her down.”
He nodded and patted his head.
The rest of the ceremony and reception smoothly went on for hours. As the newly married couple was enjoying bliss, Mu Shuchun finally woke up at the hospital.
The nurse standing at the bedside and making reports noticed her moving.
“Dr. Xu. Miss Mu has woken up.”
Mu Shuchun blinked her eyelids, and she saw the nurse and Dr. Xu. She slowly looked around the room but didn’t find Shin.
Dr. Xu and the nurse shared a glance.
“Shin…Where is Shin?” She asked.
Dr. Xu cleared his throat. “Miss Mu. How are you feeling now?”
She frowned. “I asked you where Shin is!”
The nurse narrowed her eyes and said in a pointed tone. “Miss Mu. Dr. Liang already returned after your surgery was over.”
She widened her eyes. “What!? Returned where?”
The nurse condescendingly smiled. “Where else? Have you forgotten that it is his wedding today? Of course, he went back to marry his bride.”
Dr. Xu said, “Dr. Liang is so generous. Even though it was his wedding today, he was forced to accommodate your selfish request. After he did your surgery, he didn’t waste a second more and left.”
Mu Shuchun gritted her teeth. She hated that they spoke to her in such a mocking tone.
“No! It cannot be true. How can he go back? He broke his wedding and came for me!”
The nurse’s mouth twitched. “Miss Mu. Just what gave you the idea that Dr. Liang broke his wedding? He never agreed to what you assumed. Miss Xiang patiently waited for him when he was here doing your surgery,” she sighed, “I must say she has a heart of gold. She understood Dr. Liang’s plight and let him go to save you and also our careers. On the other hand you…”
She left it unsaid, but it was understandable what she meant to imply.
Mu Shuchun flared up.
“No, no, no! It cannot be true. Shin came back because he wanted us to be back together. He cannot go back to his wedding! He already broke it for me.”
Her heart raced in trepidation. She refused to believe that Shin left her.
It was already almost seven hours after the surgery when she regained her consciousness.
By this time, Shin would have already married Huian. The ceremony would be already over!
No! No…no…
Tears pooled in her eyes.
Shin cannot do this to me…he-he cannot marry Huian…he cannot leave me alone…I love him…
She paled, and her body froze as if she was paralyzed.
“I want to talk to Shin! This is a big misunderstanding. You all are lying to me!” she tried to get up from the bed. But the nurse immediately held her.
Dr. Xu said, “Miss Mu, please. You have already troubled us enough and Dr. Liang. Even though it was completely selfish of you, he still acceded to your demand. And we have clear orders from Dr. Liang before he left.”
“O-orders?”
“Yes. He suspected that you would definitely cause a ruckus again after you wake up. So he asked us to give you a message that if you tried to bother him this time or threatened him, then he will hand you over to the police!”
Mu Shuchun was stunned.
“Police?”
“Yes. What you are doing comes under harassment, and we are all the witnesses of how you behaved. If you insist on meeting him again or forcing him to come here, then he will not hesitate to lodge a police complaint against you and put you behind bars.”
The nurse rolled her eyes. “You cannot expect him to come again, especially now that the ceremony is over. And if you don’t believe that we are telling the truth, then see for yourself.”
She handed Shuchun her phone and showed her his marriage pictures. Shin and Huian were at the islet, following the rituals, ring exchange, and the final kiss.
“Now, you believe? Dr. Liang is married now. So, it’s in your best interests that you stay away from him and Mrs. Liang. Causing a fuss now will only get you into trouble, not us this time.”
She froze.
Mrs. Liang…Huian is now Mrs. Liang…?
She felt a tight knot in her chest and a sense of breathlessness. Her body trembled.
She looked at those photos again and clearly saw his bright smile as he gazed at Huian. Even through those photos, she sensed the happiness radiating from his eyes.
Is it really over…?
Dr. Xu and the nurse shared cautious glances.
It didn’t feel like she would make a scene this time now that she knew everything, or at least they hoped so.
“One more thing,” they handed her some envelopes.
Mu Shuchun had a bad feeling.
“These are your tickets to Paris and other documents. Dr. Liang has said to leave the country as soon as you discharge and never return again. If you didn’t comply, then you will be forced to leave.”
She was aghast. “How…how can he force me to leave!”
The nurse sneered. “If you can force him to leave his wedding and come here, then he can force you to leave the country as well. Don’t forget that he is not just a doctor but also belongs to the prestigious Liang family. What is impossible for him?”
Mu Shuchun collapsed on the bed, defeated, and blankly looked at the ceiling. She didn’t resist anymore, so they quickly did her checkup and left.
Outside, Dr. Xu whispered, “Keep an eye on her. As long as she is in the hospital, I don’t want any problem, especially if she tries to hurt herself.”
She nodded.
—
Shin just got off the phone with Dr. Xu and was relieved to know that she didn’t put up another scene. Not that she was in any position to do anyway.
He smirked.
“That smirk doesn’t seem to be good news,” Huian chuckled and hugged him from behind.
Shin said, “It’s good news for us, not for a certain someone.”
Huian understood. “So Mu Shuchun will finally leave?”
“I will see to it that she does,” he held her hand and kissed it. “Huian…thank you for trusting me.”
She smiled. “Who will I trust if not you? I knew whatever you had in mind was in our best interests.”
Shin dipped his head and kissed her lips. “My wifey is the best!”
“Of course I am,” she proudly said.
“Now that her matter is taken care of, we should get down…” he licked his lips as he stared at her lips, “our business…”
Huian blushed furiously. He picked her up and slowly placed her on the bed.
And just like that, they passionately consummated their wedding night and slept peacefully in each other’s arms.
