A Fascinating Marriage with the Colonel - Chapter 51 - A Nightmare
Chapter 51 A Nightmare
The next day, the weather was clear and the sun shone brightly.
Su Xiaoya rushed to the hospital with a big fruit basket in her hand. Seeing that Qin Shu was lying half dead on the sickbed, she almost wanted to stab the culprit driver with a knife.
“What a bastard that driver is!” Su Xiaoya was very furious. She fiercely peeled the apple and said, “That kind of drunken idiot dares to run away after hitting someone, he should be sentenced severely!”
“Take it easy. Be careful with your hands.” Qin Shu glared at Su Xiaoya, then sighed depressingly. “It’s such an unexpected trouble for me, an unlucky year. Looks like I’m doomed to offend villains this year.”
Su Xiaoya cut the apple into small pieces. “Come, darling, open your mouth. Tell me what kind of villains you’ve offended. I’ll deal with them for you. Do they really think that you don’t have anyone on your back?”
“This apple is sweet.” Qin Shu chewed on the apple and sneered. “There’s no need for you to deal with them. They will seek death by themselves.”
Su Xiaoya also stuffed a piece of apple into her own mouth. “Are they the disgusting couple we met last time when we were shopping?”

“Heh.” Qin Shu sneered disdainfully. “Forget it, don’t mention these troublesome things. It’s so bored in the hospital that I almost go crazy.”
“Aha, with the nourishment of love, will you still go crazy?” Su Xiaoya winked and made signs to Qin Shu with a meaningful smile.
“How dare you mention it again?” Qin Shu swept over her knife-like gaze at Su Xiaoya coldly. “When you called me yesterday, that bastard was by my side. He heard everything you said clearly.”
Su Xiaoya was startled. “Really? But, but I didn’t say anything other than all the truth… Alright, alright, alright, don’t be mad. I was wrong.”
“There’s no next time!” Qin Shu warned.
“I promise!” Su Xiaoya drew a virtual line next to her mouth, indicating that she had sealed her mouth.
Qin Shu continued chewing the apple and made crisp noises. She suddenly looked at Su Xiaoya and asked, “Why are you looking at me?”
Su Xiaoya wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked at Qin Shu innocently.
Qin Shu laughed and said, “Alright, just speak.”
“Hee-hee.” Su Xiaoya giggled and then quickly regained her serious expression. “Comrade Qin Shu, I feel that you are hiding something from me!”
“What thing?”
“How would I know since you didn’t tell me?”
“…”
The two of them stared at each other with wide eyes. Su Xiaoya first lost the battle and began to think with her cheeks propped up by her hands.
Three years ago, her darling got drunk and accidentally had sex with that Colonel Ling.
Colonel Ling said on the surface that he would be responsible, but in reality, he fled away.
Her darling said she didn’t care and then she married Ji Chen.
These were what Qin Shu told Su Xiaoya. It didn’t sound like something was wrong, but Su Xiaoya always felt that something else had happened during that period of time. Otherwise, why would Qin Shu hate Ling Mohan for three whole years? Was it only because of a promise that she said she didn’t even care about?
That didn’t seem right.
“Detective Su, have you thought of any clues?” Qin Shu teased her.
“Humph.” Su Xiaoya pretended to be angry and held Qin Shu’s hand. “Darling, don’t shoulder on everything alone. You must tell me if there’s anything, understand?”
“Understand.” Qin Shu smiled brightly. “You too.”
It was really heartwarming for her to have a good friend like Su Xiaoya.
However, there were some things that she couldn’t say. If she said out everything, it would only stir up trouble and make Su Xiaoya worried.
It was better to let those things be gone. In the future, she and Ling Mohan would go their separate ways.
After returning to the country, Su Xiaoya worked as an editor of a gossip magazine. She had specially asked for leave this morning and came to accompany Qin Shu. But she had to go back to work in the afternoon.
Qin Shu, on the other hand, began to take a nap like always after Su Xiaoya left. This was her fixed daily schedule. Moreover, after the car accident, she was weak and was not as spirited as before. Every time she finished lunch, she would feel sleepy.
Qin Shu didn’t sleep very comfortably this time.
In her dream, she went back to the night of her twentieth birthday three years ago.
There were familiar smiling faces, cheerful shouts, and intoxicating wine… She was twenty years old, looking gorgeous and picturesque under the light, like a red rose bud that was going to bloom.
She couldn’t drink much, but she drank a lot.
So hot!
She felt her entire body heated up!
She knocked into a room in a daze and fell on the big bed. There seemed to be a rumbling sound of water flowing in her ears, then it seemed someone was walking toward her in a bathrobe…
The scene in the dream suddenly changed, it became that she was sitting and reading quietly in the living room.
A soldier in military uniform rushed in anxiously. “Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Brother Chen had an accident!”
Slap!
The sound of the book falling to the ground echoed in the living room.
The scene changed again.
The feeling of intense pain, the noisy sounds, and the scarlet blood… She was suddenly lying on the operating table, surrounded by doctors and nurses who were coming and going.
Her consciousness was blurry. It seemed her soul was about to be pulled away by the pain.
“Doctor Li, she’s bleeding!”
“Go to Director Wang! Hurry!”
…
“The baby is dying!”
“Family member? Where is her family member? The decision has to be made by her family member in this situation!”
Family? She had no family.
“Save me! I want to live!” Her will to survive suddenly was waken up.
She somehow gathered some strength to grab the doctor’s sleeve and said the sentences with all her might.
She had promised Ji Chen that she would live well in this life!
After that, Qin Shu fell into endless darkness again.
Her entire body was icy cold, covered with coldness.
Squeak!
The slight sound of the door being pushed open suddenly came. Qin Shu woke up with a start, gasping heavily for breath.
“Did you have a nightmare?” A cold voice came into her ears.
Qin Shu’s blank eyes began to slowly focus. Then she saw the handsome and cold face above her head clearly. She reflexively pulled a smile at the corner of her mouth and said, “Yes, I dreamed of a ferocious and terrifying wild beast. It almost frightened me to death.”
Ling Mohan looked at her fixedly and said unhappily, “Your smile looks so ugly!”
Was she in the way of this bastard even by a smile?
Qin Shu tried her best to ignore the shadow brought about by the dream, and she provoked Ling Mohan by saying, “Why don’t you show me a beautiful smile?”
How dare she tease him?
Ling Mohan snorted coldly and rapped on Qin Shu’s forehead with his finger. “Just tell me that you want beatings.”
“It hurts!” Qin Shu protested and emphasized the following fact, “Colonel, I am a patient! Patients need careful care!”
A small patch of red appeared on her fair forehead, and it looked quite funny.
“You’re spoiled!” Ling Mohan’s expression was impatient, but he still reached out to help Qin Shu gently massage the red part on her forehead.
The man’s strength was great, which made the red part turn even redder and spread. Qin Shu’s forehead was all red now.
Ling Mohan’s tense face finally revealed a crack of emotion. His thin lips curved into an extremely small smiling arc.
At half past seven in the evening, the nurse came to make the rounds of the wards. Before the nurse left, she said to Qin Shu’s family member, “Remember to wash and wipe the patient’s body every day, keep her clean and dry. Be careful that the wound can’t touch water. And, the patient can have some meat from tomorrow onwards, but she can’t have too much.”
Qin Shu’s eyes brimmed with tears. She could finally have meat!
From the car accident happened until now, for a whole week, she could only have extremely tasteless rice porridge and vegetables every day. She could not see even any meat scum in her food.
“I want to have sweet and sour pork ribs.” Qin Shu looked at the man who was sitting beside her, her eyes glowing with green and greedy lights.
“You’ve had your dinner.” Ling Mohan immersed himself in assembling a sniper rifle without even raising his head.
This type of sniper rifle was a new product developed by the military. It had a small caliber and great power, and its precision was high. For a special forces soldier who loved armaments, it was of an incomparably great temptation!
Qin Shu looked at him. His movements were quick and clean, and he knew what parts to assemble next without thinking.
Qin Shu counted by time silently in her heart.
Fifteen seconds!
It only took Ling Mohan fifteen seconds to finish assembling this high-end sniper rifle.
Qin Shu didn’t forget that she wanted to have meat after appreciating Ling Mohan’s performance, and she reminded him, “There’s a meal in one day called midnight snack.”
She meant that she could have sweet and sour pork ribs for midnight snack.
Crack!
Ling Mohan put the sniper rifle aside. He went straight to the bathroom to prepare a basin of hot water and carried it over to the hospital bed.
Qin Shu was both surprised and puzzled. “What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to wash and wipe your body.” Ling Mohan reached out to lift open Qin Shu’s quilt.
Qin Shu glared at him. “I want to have ribs! No, wait, do you know how to wipe? You rubbed and hurt my forehead so much today, why don’t you let the nurse do her job?”
Over the past few days, it was the nurse who helped Qin Shu wash and wipe her body. Qin Shu didn’t know what’s going on with this bastard right now. Why did he want to wash and wipe her body personally?
Had he been kicked on the head by a donkey?
Ling Mohan’s face darkened. Since he would personally help this little woman wipe and wash her body, how dare she dislike him? She really needed a beating!
Without saying a word, he took off Qin Shu’s hospital gown.
“Don’t look at me!” Qin Shu got very exasperated and became angry from embarrassment. Her delicate and beautiful face blushed with a tomato color of red.
She had four of her ribs broken and her left leg was severely fractured, so she could not move even if she wanted to. At this moment, she was clearly a fish lying on the table and waiting to be sliced up by him.
“You’re my wife. It’s right and proper for me to look at you.” Ling Mohan’s burning gaze almost pierced her through.
Qin Shu wished she could kick him to death with one kick!
This bastard was acting back on his word ever since he forced her to get married. He said they would only act in front of Grandpa Ling, and she had two options, but now, he was just shameless enough to behave like a hooligan.
She shouldn’t believe what a big hooligan said!
No matter how reluctant Qin Shu was, Ling Mohan had wrung the hot towel out. He avoided the wounds on her body and began to gently wash and wipe her body.
This was truly an extreme test of his will!
Qin Shu regained her senses. She angrily bent her right knee, fiercely hit it toward Ling Mohan’s waist!
‘”Hiss—” Qin Shu did not reach the big hooligan. Instead, the wound on her other leg was pulled and she inhaled a breath of air in pain.
“Don’t move around!” Ling Mohan angrily scolded her with his eyebrows knotted. He hurriedly checked whether the wounds on her had been pulled opened.
Qin Shu said wrongly, “It’s all because you take advantage of me. We agreed that I’m your soldier and you can’t force me.”
Ling Mohan fumed, but seeing that the little woman’s face turn pale from pain, he could only suppress the anger.
“Alright, I won’t touch you,” he said irritably.
Qin Shu shouted a happy “yes” secretly in her heart. But she still put on a wronged look on her face, looking like a pitiful wife who was being bullied by others.
Sure enough, then, Ling Mohan did not make any extra moves other than washing and wiping her body.
After that, he rushed into the bathroom and showered himself with cold water for half an hour!
Little Qin Shu really caused him to have such desire!
Ling Mohan gritted his teeth. When the little woman recovered, he would make her pay back more for this!
