I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 300: Chapter 299: A Husband Who Truly Cherishes His Wife

Luo Jiali rushed over just in time to see Li Ying and two others standing there watching Beisitian. It was evident they had confronted each other, and her heart sank, so she hurried two steps forward.

”Are you okay?” Luo Jiali asked, eyeing the three people cautiously.

Beisitian was momentarily stunned. Seeing Luo Jiali looking as if facing an enemy, she couldn’t help but want to laugh, ”I’m fine, how’s the practice going?”

Luo Jiali noticed the frustration on the faces of the three people, and her expression relaxed. It seemed that they had indeed been at a disadvantage with Beisitian.

Watching the two quickly walk away, Li Ying inwardly hated. This Beisitian is truly a tough nut to crack; just watch, even if what they say isn’t true, I’ll make it happen!

Military spouse? I’ll ruin your marriage, make sure you’re neither a military spouse nor free from jail. Military doctor? After this, let’s see which unit dares to hire you, ensuring you can’t practice medicine!

Li Ying had never suffered such a disadvantage since she was young. After being bested by Beisitian several times, she was secretly determined to utterly crush Beisitian, making her forever unable to raise her head in front of her!

Luo Jiali had already greeted Chai Xiaohu, and the two of them left the artistic troupe together, planning to visit Zhang Guimin for another rehearsal.

Although she hadn’t been learning with Chai Xiaohu for long, for Luo Jiali, who was completely amateur, Chai Xiaohu’s professional knowledge was like a sweet spring, quickly nourishing her with substantial nutrition.

Luo Jiali’s clear and pure singing voice rose, and Zhang Guimin couldn’t help but nod beside her. It was looking decent, but she still needed to refine it, or else she’d be overshadowed by their duet.

The three didn’t linger long as the old cadres’ medical check-ups would begin tomorrow, so they had to hurry back.

Back at her dormitory, Beisitian saw that tall figure cooking in the kitchen, and her heart warmed. She washed her hands and went over to help.

”Almost done.” Luo Xudong said.

Beisitian, hearing this, arranged the bowls and chopsticks on the table, ready for dinner.

Luo Xudong’s cooking was quite good; it was said that he honed it during his undercover phase when he lived alone and found it inconvenient to always go out for food, so he started trying to cook himself. Men seemed to have a knack for this, and after several attempts, the meals became edible, and a year later, they were delicious.

Today’s menu was potato stewed beef, stir-fried eggs with cucumber, and a small bowl of dumpling soup.

Although he hadn’t lived with Beisitian for long, Luo Xudong was used to adding some Chinese herbs, which seemed genuinely beneficial to health.

”The medical check-ups start tomorrow, right?” Luo Xudong asked.

Beisitian nodded, ”There should be five people tomorrow, but on the day after, there’ll be eight.”

”Mm, they aim to finish all the check-ups before the evening event.” Luo Xudong replied.

Beisitian bit the chopsticks, knowing he must have heard the rumors outside. But at that moment, he said nothing—was it indifference or restrained silence?

She felt that such matters needed some explanation, but when she tried to speak, she found herself at a loss on how to explain, especially since his encounters with Tian Lei seemed unpleasant. Could she really make him believe?

Luo Xudong glanced up to see her looking conflicted. He didn’t need to guess to understand why she felt conflicted.

”Someone is targeting you.” He proactively stated.

Beisitian quickly looked over, ”You figured it out?”

Luo Xudong smiled. Most people lose their reasoning when it comes to matters they care about, but through years of tempering, he was the opposite.

The more he cared, the calmer he had to be to quickly find a safe and reliable solution; otherwise, with his dangerous career, his family would’ve suffered many scares. Even so, there was once when the family was nearly implicated.

The rumors outside were hard to hear, and Luo Xudong knew what they meant for him and Beisitian. Left unchecked, without any instigation, they might gradually fade over time. Yet someone was actively fueling the flames, changing the situation.

Director Lian already spoke with him, asking if there was genuinely a problem. He assured there was no issue, which kept the higher-ups from intervening for the moment.

”Who do you think it is?” Luo Xudong asked.

Beisitian fixed her gaze on him, ”Who else could it be, your troublesome admirers~”

Even though these admirers concerned Luo Xudong, they exploited the situation between her and Tian Lei.

”Honestly, I’m not sure what’s up with Tian Lei, but I can assure you he doesn’t have feelings for me.” Beisitian looked directly at Luo Xudong, speaking earnestly.

Luo Xudong remained silent.

Seeing this, Beisitian’s heart sank; he didn’t believe her...

Just as this thought arose, she heard Luo Xudong say, ”I know what’s going on.”

”I’m telling the truth... what did you say?” Beisitian’s mind nearly didn’t catch up with Luo Xudong, ”You know what’s up with Tian Lei?”

Luo Xudong nodded. He wasn’t as generous when it came to men eyeing his wife; of course, he’d investigate thoroughly, and indeed, he uncovered some details.

Yet even without understanding the intricacies, he didn’t believe the rumors due to his trust in Beisitian and self-confidence.

As long as he remained exceptional and caring enough to outshine all nearby men, could Beisitian’s gaze ever stray from him?

Luo Xudong was sure it wouldn’t.

”What exactly is going on?” Beisitian had been puzzled by this and directly asked Tian Lei, who answered that they were connected by fate!

That ridiculous fate; she couldn’t believe such an excuse!

”Is your mother’s surname Tian?” Luo Xudong asked.

Beisitian was taken aback. He wouldn’t mention her mother for no reason; could Tian Lei have some relation to her mother?

As for her mother’s surname... it seemed it was Tian, named Tian Meijun?!

Beisitian dug through original memories, growing increasingly emotional. Since her mother passed early and her stepmother took charge, the original owner deeply yearned for maternal love and felt a strong longing for her mother. When asked just now, the name instantly sprang to mind.

”Yes.” Beisitian realized something after speaking. Her mother’s surname was Tian too; could it be?

She looked at Luo Xudong, and upon seeing him nod, her mouth dropped open in surprise, ”You’re saying Tian Lei is my cousin?”

Luo Xudong looked at her silently, correcting, ”Just cousin brother.”

Beisitian: ”...” Tian Lei had such a lively personality, she forgot she was older than this body’s age.

”Since we’re cousins, why not straightforwardly say it?” Beisitian asked again.

Luo Xudong drank some water, saying, ”That’s the crux; his family forbids him from recognizing you.”
