This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

”Sir, everything is packed for you.”

The saleswoman’s smile was sweet and beautiful. She loved generous customers like Du Heng.

Du Heng thought about it and decided to buy some for his Sister-in-law and niece as well. Wang Shuqiu could act as his consultant, and it could also be considered a gift from Wang Shuqiu to her Sister-in-law and niece.

As for his Big brother and nephew, apples and oranges would suffice.

”Wife, help me choose two items for my Sister-in-law and niece.”

Wang Shuqiu knew about Du Heng’s family situation, so she didn’t find it strange at all that he asked her to pick things for his Sister-in-law and niece.

Since I’ve already bought something for myself, I might as well buy for everyone else.

I can pay Du Heng back later when I get my salary.

That was her true thought.

If Du Heng knew this, he would definitely wonder if there was something wrong with this woman’s brain.

Because besides this, after all this time, she must have seen Mi Wu’s behavior clearly, yet she could still go to a lingerie store with that woman. This was something Du Heng couldn’t quite understand.

The final bill came to 13,000 yuan.

Du Heng swiped his card promptly, which made Wang Shuqiu ache at the expense.

Mi Wu, standing nearby, looked on expectantly, hoping Du Heng would display some chauvinism, but he showed no reaction.

After paying, Du Heng walked out directly, his hands full of bags, not forgetting to remind her, ”Hurry up and pay. We’ll wait for you outside.”

Seeing that Du Heng didn’t pay for her, Mi Wu wasn’t disappointed. On the contrary, her eyes shone even brighter.

At this moment, she was even more certain of her previous guess: this Du Heng must be a rich man.

Spending 13,000 yuan just like that, plus that luxury off-road vehicle... Tsk, tsk, Wang Shuqiu, you’ve really caught a big fish.

They had bought most of what they needed and were ready to part ways. Mi Wu proactively asked for Du Heng’s contact information.

Du Heng remained unmoved, raising his hands full of bags. ”Sorry, my hands are full. Maybe next time.”

Mi Wu didn’t seem embarrassed at all, still smiling. ”No problem. Just tell me your number, and I’ll send a request. You can accept it when you have time.”

After speaking, she held her phone, looking at Du Heng expectantly.

Mi Wu wasn’t embarrassed, but Du Heng felt quite awkward. This woman definitely had issues. Forcing a guy to give his number in front of his girlfriend—was that something a normal person would do?

Even though Wang Shuqiu, standing beside him, remained as indifferent as usual and didn’t say anything to stop Du Heng, he still sensed a hint of murderous intent from her.

”No need. If you need something, just contact Qiuqiu.”

Du Heng didn’t want to dawdle any longer. He put the items in the car and said, ”Wife, get in the car. Let’s go home; it’s a long way.”

Seeing Du Heng’s resolute attitude, the corners of Wang Shuqiu’s mouth gently curved upwards.

As Mi Wu was about to get into the car, Du Heng spoke directly, ”There isn’t much gas left in the car, so I can’t give you a ride. You’ll have to take a taxi home. Sorry about that.”

Without waiting for Mi Wu’s reply, he stepped on the accelerator and sped off.

This time, Mi Wu was dumbfounded.

Was this something a man should do?

Shouldn’t he have courteously invited her into the car and driven her home comfortably?

Where was his chivalry?

Watching the departing taillights, Mi Wu stomped her feet in anger and frustration.

The rain outside was pouring down, and the ground was covered in puddles.

Moreover, she didn’t have an umbrella. How was she supposed to get a taxi from here?

Du Heng, driving, wasn’t worried about how Mi Wu would get home. Although he had seen many eye-catching sights tonight, he had truly had enough of her behavior.

Her flashy, seductive act was one thing, but her sarcastic way of talking was another. Moreover, she kept insidiously remarking that Wang Shuqiu was poor and likely spent all her money on her younger brother, all while intentionally or unintentionally trying to drive a wedge between him and Wang Shuqiu.

He knew how to separate carnal desire from genuine affection.

He really couldn’t understand how Wang Shuqiu could tolerate it, not once telling Mi Wu to leave.

”Will it be alright that you left your Colleague there?”

”No problem. She lives close by. It’s no big deal,” Wang Shuqiu replied calmly.

”Your Colleague is quite something, isn’t she? Aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with her?”

Wang Shuqiu glanced at Du Heng. ”If you’re mine, she can’t take you away. If you’re not mine, I won’t try to keep you.”

As her voice faded, Wang Shuqiu turned and looked straight at Du Heng. ”If you really go with her, I’ll kill you, then marry your memorial tablet.”

Du Heng wanted to laugh; it felt like she was reciting lines from a play.

He glanced back, only to meet Wang Shuqiu’s eyes directly. For a moment, the seriousness in her gaze startled him.

His heart, unbidden, skipped a beat or two.

Good heavens, this woman couldn’t be serious, could she?

Du Heng grinned awkwardly. ”Just kidding. How could someone so gaudy and common compare to you?”

”Heh heh.”

Wang Shuqiu didn’t dress like Mi Wu, but that didn’t mean she didn’t know what men liked.

She had noted every time Du Heng’s eyes had wandered tonight.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit strange. Du Heng couldn’t help but try to lighten it. ”I noticed you and she don’t seem to get along very well. Why did you invite her shopping together?”

Wang Shuqiu looked at Du Heng’s profile once more, then sat up straight, staring at the red taillights ahead.

”I didn’t invite her; she came on her own.”

”Then you should have asked her to leave. Look how awkward it was earlier.”

”I couldn’t bring myself to say it.”

Du Heng was stunned.

That was some reason.

The rain grew heavier. The windshield wipers, which had been moving every three minutes, now swept back and forth ceaselessly.

Fortunately, they had left the city and were smoothly driving on the country road home.

When they reached the mountain road, the distinct sound of gushing water could be heard from the deep ditches lining the roadside.

”The rain is too heavy today. Listen, you can even hear the water flowing in the ditch.”

Wang Shuqiu nodded. ”Indeed. The weather this year is so abnormal. I’ve studied and worked in Jinzhou for five or six years, and this is the first time I’ve seen it rain for so many days.”

Du Heng slowed the car, driving cautiously. ”It’s not just you. In all my memories, growing up, this is only the second time I’ve seen anything like it.”

As they spoke, they saw that the road ahead was flooded by mountain runoff gushing from a ditch; the entire road surface was covered in water and mud.

Fortunately, Du Heng was very familiar with this road, and the car had a high chassis, so he carefully maneuvered through.

Glancing in the rearview mirror, Du Heng said, uneasy, ”This rain needs to stop soon. Let’s hope it doesn’t wash out the road.”

At his Big brother’s house, no one had gone to bed; they were all waiting for Du Heng to bring his girlfriend home.

Du Yi and Du Xuejing, in particular, were incredibly excited, discussing what their future little aunt might be like. Du Xuejing kept instructing Du Yi on how to behave later, clearly afraid he might do something off-putting.

When Du Heng brought his girlfriend home, his Sister-in-law was the one to take the lead, and she was also the main person Wang Shuqiu would talk to.

As for his Big brother, he was just a mascot.

He sat on the edge of the sofa, watching Wang Shuqiu chat with his wife, unsure where to put his legs or rest his hands.

He picked up a cigarette, then put it down again.

It was the first time Du Heng had seen his Big brother so restrained; he wanted to laugh but didn’t dare.

However, seeing it was getting quite late, he told Wang Shuqiu it was time to leave, suggesting they could all chat more tomorrow in the daylight.
