This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

Ding Yuxue’s head was buzzing, countless images flashing through her mind.

But she was rational at this moment. She knew her son’s condition had just started to improve, and she couldn’t appear overly agitated in front of him.

So she simply took a deep breath, and her racing thoughts were instantly reined in.

Surprisingly, she herself didn’t know why she could control her emotions so well this time.

She knew that in the past, any suspicion regarding her husband would have sent her into a jealous, hysterical rage.

Ding Yuxue took another deep breath and said calmly to her husband, ”Honey, step out with me. I want to take you to see our child’s attending doctor.”

With that, she walked out of the hospital room first, not caring whether the man would follow.

She seemed certain he would follow.

Sure enough, the man did follow, obediently trailing after Ding Yuxue.

But after only a few steps, the man’s expression changed. He quickened his pace, wanting to reach out and grab Ding Yuxue’s hand. ”Yuxue, why are you going into the stairwell? Quickly, take me to the doctor’s office!”

Ding Yuxue didn’t answer, nor did she avoid his outstretched hand. Instead, she grabbed his hand and pulled him directly into the stairwell.

Upon seeing this, the man’s expression changed once more, his eyes darting around nervously.

After a few more steps, they reached the stairwell. Ding Yuxue said nothing, simply turning to the man and gently embracing him.

However, the man stiffened as if he’d received an electric shock, not returning his wife’s intimate gesture with any tenderness.

Because as Ding Yuxue pressed close to him, her nose made a sound: ”SNIFF... SNIFF... SNIFF...”

Then, before the man could react, Ding Yuxue quickly stepped back, her eyes exceptionally cold as she stared at him. ”Why?”

The man looked anxious and tried to step forward, but Ding Yuxue blocked him with a cold, outstretched hand.

The man didn’t press further, only saying in his gentlest voice, ”Honey, please don’t misunderstand. You know those investors are important people. When they want to go to those kinds of places, it’s hard for me to refuse...”

Ding Yuxue cut him off. ”Your investor this time, I recall she’s a woman, isn’t she?”

The man froze for a moment, the gaze behind his glasses sharpening. ”You spied on me?”

Ding Yuxue suddenly laughed, a laugh that was somewhat... sad?

The man’s expression softened once more, and he said gently, ”Honey, it’s all to ensure the art exhibition proceeds smoothly. The investor is influential, well-connected, and resourceful. With her handling things...”

”So you had to sleep with... You’re disgusting!” Ding Yuxue interrupted him again. ”How could you do this to me? For more than ten years, I’ve fed you, clothed you, borne your child, and wholeheartedly supported your career.

I never asked you to contribute to the household, nor did I let you worry about not earning money.

Is this how you repay me? Doing this kind of thing time and time again, do you even have a conscience?”

Previously, when Ding Yuxue had suspicions, her husband’s sweet talk would always placate her. But today, she had no desire to hear any of his gentle, coaxing words.

In fact, she herself didn’t know what she truly wanted right now.

The man suddenly pursed his lips. His gaze shifted again, becoming exceptionally—calm.

He took off his glasses, gently wiped the lenses, and put them back on, looking at Ding Yuxue with an extremely placid expression.

Yet, this very gaze made Ding Yuxue freeze.

For so many years, the way he looked at her had always been gentle, compassionate, and filled with guilt.

But what struck her like a lightning bolt was his next sentence, ”Yuxue, let’s get a divorce.”

”What?” Ding Yuxue shivered involuntarily, her mind struggling to comprehend.

But the man straightened his posture and said calmly, ”I want nothing. Everything will be left to you and the child. Just call me whenever you’re free. I’ll come and handle the procedures.”

With that, the man turned and descended the stairs without a trace of hesitation, leaving Ding Yuxue standing frozen in place.

Perhaps it was an instant, perhaps a minute, or perhaps even a quarter of an hour later, Ding Yuxue’s glazed eyes finally showed a flicker of movement.

But when she slowly looked around, the man’s figure was already completely gone.

A few more seconds passed. Clarity finally returned to Ding Yuxue’s eyes, but then her whole body began to tremble with a slowly building rage. A hint of wildness crept into her gaze, and she tore off down the stairwell the man had used to leave.

At the hospital entrance, the bustling crowd suddenly seemed to freeze, as if a pause button had been pressed. Then, with a single point as its epicenter, people at the core of the crowd backed away while those on the periphery pushed forward, instantly forming a ring of onlookers. Everyone craned their necks, staring towards that central point where a frantic woman was desperately clutching a man’s arm.

”Don’t you dare leave! You owe me an explanation,” the wild-eyed woman cried out.

The man seemed helpless as he looked at the woman. ”Let go. There are so many people around. Let’s save each other some dignity.”

But the woman remained unmoved, repeating insistently, ”No, you have to give me a reason.”
