The Emperor's Pampered Wife 10 What Kind Of Romance

After a few seconds of their staring contest, Wei Yan's gaze drifted on Ji Li Zhao's torn clothing. Her face slowly heated up as the scene of how she ripped it apart played out in her mind. Oh G.o.d! That was out of line!

She instantly backed away and covered her face with her hands. Now what is she gonna do?

Ji Li Zhao watched her panic and in his mind there was joy. His wife is so adorable. He never thought he'd see her blus.h.i.+ng face at such an early stage. The torn cloth was worth it.

But he doesn't want her to send him away. So he acted normal and simply pulled the torn piece back on his shoulders. Luckily it only ripped midway so it still covered him up like normal. "Aah, someone broke in my house. I fought back and got this wound"

This time, Ji Li Zhao is telling the truth and lying at the same time. He had indeed got the wound from a fight. But it wasn't a simple fight with a burglar. As a businessman, much more a t.i.tle holder of 'emperor' a lot of people wants to challenge him. Another a.s.sa.s.sination had taken place and its from someone completely new to the business industry. Someone who was young and did not know what fear is. As the fight went on, a pa.s.serby got involved forcing him to use his body to s.h.i.+eld them.

Wei Yan immediately looked at him the moment he spoke out his reason. Something so dangerous actually happened to him? She walked back to Ji Li Zhao and this time gave him a gaze as though asking for permission.

Ji Li Zhao nodded his head. "It opened up" she said. Was it caused of the incident earlier? Considering it was still a fresh wound, any movement could cause it to open up. When she fell, he didn't catch her but he must have used some force to pull her back in his arms. "I'll clean the wound and st.i.tch it back. Please refrain from moving too much"

"Okay" was all that he could reply as she disappeared into another room inside her office.

Its only been a week but there's quite a few things that's new inside the room. The last time he got inside, he wasn't given enough time to take a closer look around her office, so he'll use this chance to know her better. She has a shelf full of books and she also has a fish tank that was newly installed. Inside was a red colored Arowana that was still in its young stage.

After observing the fish for a while, he proceeded to her shelf. He used this opportunity to take a look at her collection of books. On the upper shelf was some medical books focusing on general medicine. The middle part held books regarding her major which is cardio medicine and some surgical books.

The last part on the other hand, intrigued him. He crouched down and a smile suddenly dominated in his face as he saw romance novels. He looked at all of its t.i.tle and remembered it in his mind. Let's see what kind of romance his wife wants.

When he heard some footsteps approaching, Ji Li Zhao instantly returned to his spot as though he did nothing. He took a peek at Wei Yan who was approaching her and saw a plain white b.u.t.ton up s.h.i.+rt on her arms as her other hand carried a medicine kit. She handed him the s.h.i.+rt which he took with a questioning look.

"I'm so sorry for ripping your s.h.i.+rt apart. This isn't as expensive as what you wore, but I think its better than wearing a torn one. I will buy you another one worthy to replace the one I tore and send it to you"

Ji Li Zhao shook his head at her. "This will do fine, you don't have to buy a new one"

After all, that s.h.i.+rt was bought in an instant. Compared to the s.h.i.+rt in his hands right now, this is what he can call valuable and priceless.

Noticing his sincere gaze, Wei Yan simply nodded his head and walked towards him. "Can you remove your s.h.i.+rt? I'm going to dress your wound and its in your shoulders so I can only operate well if you remove it. I can help you if you want"

He looked at her and looked at his torn s.h.i.+rt. Removing his s.h.i.+rt is an easy task for him. But...ah, making his wife remove it for him sounds way better. "I don't think I can"

Wei Yan nodded her head and walked in front of him. She took hold of his s.h.i.+rt and slowly rolled it up his abdomen. "Please tell me if your shoulders starts hurting"

Silence. Ji Li Zhao no longer has any force to utter a reply towards her. He needs to keep his heart in check every couple of seconds. Wei Yan began taking out his clothes by removing the sleeve from the unaffected arm first as Li Zhao bend his hands. It took quite a while for her to finish undressing him, while secretly hiding her blush.

After putting his clothes away, she instantly took a white cloth soaked in water and went behind him. This way, he can never see her furiously warm face. She cleaned through his wound, and afterwards used a gauze pad soaked in saline solution and gently dabbed it on his wound. "After this, we'll run a test to check your heart. Would that be fine with you?"

It took Ji Li Zhao a while to reply. "Hmmm. Would I get the test results today?"

"There's not much outpatients today, I'll ask them to fasten the pace" she said as she remembered that there wasn't much movement in the hospital today.

"I really appreciate this, Doctor Hou" he said even with sincerity. This kind of caring treatment, he hasn't felt it in a long long time. Now that she's back and he's about to take her in as his wife, will he get such treatment or more whenever he falls sick? Ah, he can't wait for that.

"Now then, I suggest you don't move around to much since the wound is in your shoulders. Also, don't recklessly wash it with water. To lessen the pain, I'll prescribe some medicines and an ointment so it won't scar" she said as she finished st.i.tching his wound and placing her equipment back in its kit.

While she was busy cleaning up the b.l.o.o.d.y bandages, he suddenly asked her out of the blue. "That woman earlier, is she giving you a hard time? What she did earlier was dangerous, aren't you afraid?"

Wei Yan's movements halted for a second. Right, he saw everything. "No"

A smile spread through her face as she threw the bandages away in her garbage bin. She looked at him warmly and replied. "She's my patient and its my job to understand their position and situation. Even if its dangerous and fear creeps me, I'd still go on and push through their treatment"

As she was about to put her box back in the other room, he stopped her by holding on her coat like a child. "Doctor, now that you've treated me, don't you think its your time to get treated?"

Wei Yan was taken by surprise. So he really did take notice of her injury. "Mr. Ji, thank you for your concern but I can a.s.sure you I'm fine" she took hold of his hands and placed it back in his lap. "That blood earlier was nothing to get worked up about"

She said this but he never bought it. He looked at his feet and in the silent room he whispered. "You almost fainted"

A smile crept through her face as she saw his concern. However, as a doctor, she cannot show him that her heart flattered for it. So she walked away, in fear that he'd notice her scarlet bloomed face. "I've been lacking sleep this past few days, that's why I lost strength earlier and lost my footing. You don't have to worry about something so trivial"

It was a dumb move for her to neglect her health over work. There was a lot of work to be done, specially when she was tasked to monitor the internal medicine department in place of Doctor Sheng. Not to mention, she also had her own scheduled patients and some approved surgeries that needs all of her attention. It was hard, and as consequence of working too much was the mishap that happened earlier.

She had all this thoughts in her mind as she walked away. After placing her kit back on the other room, she casually sat on the couch opposite to Ji Li Zhao. In her hands was a box of blue colored capsule and a green round container "Please focus on your recovery. This medicine will help you get rid of the pain along an antibiotic, take it in 2 times a day. You can buy the antibiotic in the hospitals pharmacy or even outside" she said as she handed him the box and a prescription with her signature on it.

He accepted this and looked at the remaining container in her hands. Wei Yan pointed it and looked at him seriously. "Rub this ointment after you wake up and before you go to sleep. It will help heal the wound faster and lessen the scar. This will leave a cool sensation to help you relax so it won't bother you when you sleep"

Ji Li Zhao simply nodded his head as he memorized everything that he said with a thankful heart. "I will follow your instructions" he said as he accepted the ointment.

A text message suddenly interrupted their casual stares. Wei Yan talked as she opened her message. "Also, do come back after a few days so I can check on the wound and remove the st.i.tches"

The text message she received was from the Radiology Department approving her request. Normally, it would take a long time but she made friends with the head of that department, Li Yue. Thus her request was easily approved as there was not much of patients either.

Li Zhao obediently remained silent and waited for her gaze to fall back on him before he replied. "I will. Uhmm, can I ask for your contact number in case I encounter some problem with the wound"

Lame excuse. He's been wounded a couple of times but he never asked anyone for help. She's the only exception. And to be honest, he has her number, thanks to his computer skills he easily hacked her phone and computer. But he needs a reason to start up a conversation and so she will not get frightened with an unknown number saying hi popping in her screen.

Wei Yan looked at him for a while. She never really give her personal contact number to her patients unless their condition is in real need of monitoring. At most, she only gives her office telephone number since she's always stuck here anyway. In this case, should she or should she not give him her personal contact number?

Li Zhao noticed her hesitation, so he remained silent and waited patiently for her reply. If he asks for it again, he'll look like his forcing too much and she'll think he's up to no good.

After a few more seconds, Wei Yan finally smiled. "Of course"

Who can resist his looks and ambiance?

She took out her special business card and handed it to him. She only gives this to her colleagues, close friends, family and special cased patients. Ji Li Zhao knows this and it delighted him to know he made it inside her personal circle. "Here you go, Mr. Ji"

Ji Li Zhao accepted this and placed it carefully on his wallet. Such special card, he will preserve it in a museum if he can. He was ecstatic to tell Huang Xun this great achievement of his.

Wei Yan stood up and took hold of his medical records. "Now then, let's proceed with the scan"

He only nodded his head and followed her lead. As an important figure in the business industry, his health needs to be checked and maintained. His attending doctor, Zhang Yizin had already went through with his scan and found nothing wrong with it. But he wanted to spend more time with Wei Yan and observe how she works.

As they were walking, he took out his phone and texted Huang Xun. "Give me all the information of the following stories I'll attach and get me a copy of each. Categorize them to their type of romance and give me the statistics. I want it detailed and done by the end of this day"

Huang Xun who was outside the hospital and inside the car sighed as he read through his text message. Now he's up to romantic novels for references? He shook his head thinking of this and opened up the attachment. There, unfolded before him at least 50 different romantic novels. Getting a copy of each is already quite a trouble, by getting all the information was he suppose to read all of it...in just half a day. Thinking about this made him cry crocodile tears. He can do anything but reading romantic novels. This is torture and now he realized, his boss is dangerous when in love!
