Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

Chapter 473: Chapter 473

Miss Su had always had a pretty good temper, especially a good one, it was only after she became a mother that her temper started to flare up.

Outside the MRI room.

Su Lu and Lei Yang were standing and waiting. The other doctors were supposed to come too, but Lei Yang had sent them back to their departments to stay busy.

"Could you possibly take on fewer...", Su Lu started a conversation, but she didn’t finish and simply waved her hand, "Never mind."

Lei Yang knew what she wanted to say. He fell silent for a few seconds before speaking, "I didn’t expect it."

Su Lu wasn’t sure if he hadn’t expected the patient to remain comatose after a successful surgery, or if he hadn’t expected that patient’s children, who had sold practically everything they owned to get their father treated and who were the epitome of filial piety, to respond by attempting to extort money from the hospital and the doctors as soon as their father’s surgery resulted in a coma.

Perhaps it was both.

Perhaps Lei Yang hadn’t expected any of these.

Perhaps he had just underestimated human nature.

"Forget it, the line of work you’re in...", Su Lu’s words trailed off, followed by a light sigh, "Back then, I was really afraid Xiaolu would have to experience all this, so I pulled so many strings to get her into this hospital."

At that time, Su Lu was merely an adopted daughter who wasn’t particularly favored in the Su Family. She didn’t have much ability, didn’t have much money, nor many connections, but she had tried every means possible, even asking Gu Xin for help, just to get Cheng You Ran a position at this hospital.

Because this hospital didn’t have too many people or chaos, didn’t have the smog and corruption that reigned elsewhere.

Still, they ended up facing this kind of situation.

Su Lu asked, "You Ran won’t be in trouble, will she?"

Lei Yang nodded, "No, it’s probably just superficial injuries, but just to be safe, she’s getting an MRI." noveldrama

"That’s good." Su Lu looked up at Lei Yang, after some thought, she still asked, "How have you and You Ran been getting along lately?"

Lei Yang gave a very faint smile, just a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth. The recent events truly made it difficult to smile.

"We’re fine," Lei Yang said, "She..."

Lei Yang thought for a moment, the smile at his mouth grew a bit wider, "She’s quite naive."

How could Su Lu not know how naive Cheng You Ran was? This girl was a blank slate when it came to relationships. It wasn’t just that she’d never dated, given that she excelled academically all the way, immersed in a world of study amidst the chaos of the world. She hadn’t just never dated.

She didn’t even seem to have had the experience of liking someone. Her teenage years, full of young girl’s whims, were dedicated entirely to the ardor of endless mock exams and the college entrance exam.

During her university years, that youthful ardor was tethered to courses like internal medicine, surgery, diagnostics, human anatomy, pathology, pharmacology, and so on...

So it really was like the flowering of an old iron tree for the first time, and so Su Lu was actually quite worried.

She looked at Lei Yang and said seriously, "You Ran is very innocent, don’t bully her. You’ve seen, I can be fierce."

Remembering the way Su Lu had doused someone with water just earlier, Lei Yang couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t worry, I won’t bully her. I don’t want to be doused in water, I don’t know where you found that bucket of dirty water..."

Su Lu shrugged, "The cleaning lady just happened to be holding a bucket with the mop she had used to clean the floor, watching the commotion at the door. I was so irritated that I grabbed the bucket from her on impulse and rushed in. Given the situation, even I thought I was too slow. Was I supposed to run to the bathroom to look for a mop bucket?"

After a little while longer, the check-up was finally over.

Because of Lei Yang’s presence, Su Lu was able to enter the MRI operating room for the first time.

Looking at Cheng Youran lying inside that huge machine through the glass, her heart felt uncomfortable.

Su Lu couldn’t help but ask, "This, it doesn’t have radiation, does it?"

"Magnetic resonance imaging is essentially a big magnet; there’s basically no radiation," said the doctor.

Lei Yang squinted at the clear images on the computer screen. Su Lu couldn’t understand what those were, but seeing Lei Yang looking so serious, she got a bit nervous, "There’s no problem, is there?"

"Oh, no problem," said Lei Yang.

Su Lu let out a sigh of relief, "I saw you looking so seriously, I thought something was bad. I was terribly nervous."

Lei Yang smiled lightly, "No, I was just observing her brain; it looks quite adorable."

Su Lu: "..."

She didn’t really understand their medical perspective. Can a brain even look adorable?

The doctor responsible for taking the images clearly knew about Lei Yang and Cheng Youran’s situation, and couldn’t help but shiver, "Doctor Lei, give us singles a break, will you? We have it hard too."

Cheng Youran had already come over, her complexion had recovered quite a bit, and she pressed her hand against the gauze on her forehead, "How is it? No problems? If there’s no issue, I’m going to work..."

"You’re still going to work!" Su Lu couldn’t help but grab her, "Can you stop being so nonchalant about your injuries? And if you go back now, what if that woman causes you trouble again?"

Cheng Youran thought for a moment, "She probably won’t anymore, right? Xiaolu, you were really cool just now!"

Su Lu knew Cheng Youran was back to normal; otherwise, she wouldn’t have just been as pale as a ghost, and now she could even laugh and compliment her for being cool.

She literally remembered the food but not the beating!

Su Lu raised her hand in a mock-threatening gesture, "I’m only not knocking you because you’re injured right now. Otherwise, I really want to knock some sense into you! Are you silly? Using your forehead to catch a bowl thrown at you? What if she threw a knife? Would you catch it with your face?"

Cheng Youran responded meekly, "I didn’t think too much at the time, I couldn’t just watch her hit Lei Yang."

Su Lu was helpless, "How come I never realized before that you’re so love-struck?"

Cheng Youran’s lips moved, about to retort.

Su Lu then asked Lei Yang, "Doctor Lei, were the pastries tasty yesterday?"

"Very tasty, did they come from you? Thank you, Miss Su," Lei Yang expressed his gratitude.

Su Lu glanced toward Cheng Youran, who naturally hung her head even lower, but her lips were curved into a smile.

Lei Yang had surgery later on, and that’s just how doctors are, unwilling to step back for minor injuries, let alone Lei Yang who wasn’t injured at all, so of course, he was even less likely to slack off.

Originally, Cheng Youran was supposed to assist in that surgery, but Lei Yang canceled it last minute, not allowing her to participate.

And after treating the cut on her forehead, he asked Su Lu to take her to rest and have some good food to lift her spirits.

Su Lu took her to the snack street she liked a lot, a place Cheng Youran had mentioned she enjoyed many times.

Su Lu bought a bunch of stuff, and the two found a table to sit down and started eating slowly.

While peeling the shells off the sugar-fried chestnuts for her, Su Lu solemnly advised, "I didn’t realize you were so love-struck, but now that I know, I need to tell you, there’s nothing wrong with being emotionally invested, but you also need to take care of yourself first. I’m definitely someone who’s been through it all, right?"
