The voice was cold and piercing, like a bucket of ice water extinguishing the sweetness between us. Du Ming shielded me behind him, warily scanning the surroundings, his deep voice laced with anger: "Who? Sneaking around, come out!"
However, the only response was the cawing of crows, and the night wind rustled through the treetops, adding to the eerie atmosphere. I tightened my grip on Du Ming's hand, feeling a layer of cold sweat in my palm.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Du Ming reassured me, holding my hand firmly and giving me a comforting look before quickly leading me away from the garden.
Although that night’s incident left us somewhat unsettled, we didn’t dwell on it. The wedding went ahead as planned, with the entire Du Family decorated festively and guests gathering in great numbers, creating a lively atmosphere. Dressed in a bright red wedding gown and accompanied by Bai Wei, I walked step by step toward the man I was about to entrust my life to.
Du Ming stood tall and handsome in his black suit amidst the crowd. When he took my hand and said "I do" with deep affection, my heart felt as if it had been gently touched by something; I knew I would never regret marrying him for the rest of my life.
After our marriage, we set aside all mundane affairs and embarked on an impromptu journey. We traveled through famous mountains and rivers, marveling at the grandeur of the northern landscapes and appreciating the gentle beauty of the southern water towns. At each destination, we took photos together to capture our sweet memories.
Upon returning to Jianghan City after our travels, we found a quiet residence in the countryside and began a semi-reclusive life. I transformed an unused room into a clinic, continuing to help those in need by treating patients and dispensing medicine. Although Du Ming was not fond of socializing, he quietly supported me. He had a sign erected outside the clinic that read "Guo's Medical Hall" in elegant calligraphy, attracting many passersby to stop and take a look.
"Who is the owner of Guo's Medical Hall? I've never heard of it before."
"I heard that Dr. Guo is a divine healer with miraculous skills! Just recently, didn't Yuanwai Wang's son suffer from a strange illness that no doctor could cure? I heard it was this Dr. Guo who healed him!"
"Is that true? She must be a living Bodhisattva!"
Listening to the discussions of passersby made me smile. Du Ming wrapped his arms around me from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder; his warm breath tickled my ear as he spoke with a hint of amusement: "My wife is indeed the best healer in the world."
I turned around and gently kissed his thin lips: "This is all thanks to you; without you, how could I have gained such fame?"
Since marrying Du Ming, I no longer needed to rush around for survival as I once did. Du Ming provided me with a warm home where I could focus on doing what I loved. In return, I gradually melted away the ice in his heart, allowing him to feel warmth and love once more.
I discovered that although Du Ming appeared cold and indifferent on the surface, he was actually warm-hearted beneath it all. He would drape a coat over my shoulders when I least expected it; he would bring me a cup of hot tea late at night while I studied Medical Books; he would silently accompany me when I frowned over patients' troubles, offering me unspoken comfort.
His tenderness seeped into my life like spring rain—subtle yet profound—making me unknowingly fall deeply in love with this man. Time flowed peacefully and happily; before long, three years had passed since Du Ming and I got married.
One day, Bai Wei came to visit me at the clinic with her fiancé. Seeing her radiant smile filled with happiness genuinely delighted me. In the past, she had been troubled by family marriage arrangements; it was I who encouraged her to bravely pursue her own happiness. Now she had finally found her own place in life.
"Lingxi, thank you," Bai Wei said as she held my hand with slightly reddened eyes. "If it weren't for you, I might still be trapped in that cold cage, living like a walking corpse."
I smiled and patted her hand: "Silly girl, we are best friends; it's only natural."
Bai Wei's fiancé was a talented young painter—elegant and humble—and it was clear he genuinely cared for Bai Wei. Watching them together filled me with blessings for their match.
After Bai Wei left, Mr. Du emerged from his room leaning on a cane. He looked vigorous and rosy-cheeked—no trace remained of his previous frail self. Since marrying Du Ming, I had taken great care of Mr. Du’s daily needs and helped him improve his health. Under my attentive care, Mr. Du grew stronger each day and could now walk slowly without needing his cane.
"Lingxi," Mr. Du asked cheerfully after hearing from the servants that Miss Bai had visited today, "Did she come by?"
"Yes, Father; would you like to meet her?" I helped Mr. Du sit down in the courtyard.
"No need for that; young people have their own world; I won't disturb them," Mr. Du waved his hand while gazing at the blooming flowers in the yard with a satisfied smile on his face. "Lingxi, the luckiest thing in my life is having you marry Ming'er; not only are you skilled in medicine but also kind-hearted and considerate—truly a blessing for Ming'er and the Du Family!"
My cheeks flushed slightly, and just as I was about to say something, a sudden wave of intense nausea surged over me, causing me to gag involuntarily a few times.
Seeing this, Du Ming quickly stepped forward to support me, anxiously asking, "Lingxi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
I shook my head, a faint thought rising in my mind—could it be...
I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement within me, and said to Du Ming, "Du Ming, I think... I might be pregnant."
