Incurable Chapter 14 Part 1

When Mu Wan passed by, the woman’s expression in the red dress at the dining table changed slightly, and her eyes darkened. She then took a sip of lemonade from her glass. After drinking, she looked over again. Her eyes had calmed down, but the seeming contempt reappeared.
Mu Wan raised her red lips slightly and followed Liu Qianxiu to the table. The waiter pulled the chair away for her and sat next to Liu Qianxiu. 

This place is a high-end Western restaurant with a quiet environment and simple decoration. They sat in the corner of the dining room, a small compartment separated by several partitions, and the people inside were vaguely visible.

In the compartment, crystal chandelier lights are bright, several oil paintings are hanging on the walls, the tableware is clean and tidy, and the room is exquisite and expensive.

Xiao Tan saw that Liu Qianxiu had brought someone here and still a woman. He switched his eyes between the two and asked, “This is...”

“Hello, my name is Mu Wan.” Mu Wan introduced herself. “I have something to do with Doctor Liu. He heard that I didn’t eat, so he brought me over.”

After speaking, Mu Wan nodded toward the female doctor next to Xiao Tan and said, “Thank you, Doctor Xiao.”

Xiao Yun smiled and said: “It’s all right.” Her back slowly straightened as she spoke, and a layer of heat flowed away.

She’s really haunted.

Xiao Yun is wearing a bright red dress today. Mu Wan only wore a black waistcoat and dark brown harem pants. Harem pants have a pleated waist, with a big bow under the flat abdomen, which makes Mu Wan’s waist and hips protrude, and the body proportions look perfect.

Mu Wan wore little makeup, long black eyebrows, and rosy lips, and her face underneath her long wavy hair was fair and small. She was like a Hong Kong star under the age filter, exuding a naturally charming and glamorous style, which causes people unable to move their eyes.

The waiter came over, and Mu Wan gave the order openly. She didn’t have to be polite and embarrassed when Liu Qianxiu brought her over for dinner. After she ordered, Liu Qianxiu, sitting beside Mu Wan, ordered the same.

With Mu Wan’s arrival, the meaning of today’s meal suddenly turned into a simple internal dinner. Xiao Yun first talked about several recent surgeries, and her mouth was full of professional terms, so Mu Wan couldn’t understand what was going on and couldn’t get a word in. She held her chin with her back wrist, looked at the painting on the wall, and waited for the food.
Seeing Mu Wan’s boredom at the dinner table, Xiao Yun gradually gained confidence in her heart.

This restaurant is exquisite in making things and serving food a bit slower. After waiting a while, Mu Wan got up and went to the bathroom. When she exited the bathroom, she saw Xiao Yun washing her hands by the sink.

The sink is illuminated by a lamp, and the faucet reflects the light, so the red dress is even more colorful under the light.

Mu Wan didn’t like Xiao Yun very much because Xiao Yun looked down on her and thought she was frivolous. But after all, it was the same table for dinner, and she had invited her, so Mu Wan walked to the sink and said hello.

Xiao Yun stood up straight, about the same height as Mu Wan, and both were thin, but Mu Wan’s curve was more exquisite. She glanced at Mu Wan carelessly and said faintly, “Just when we talked, you were boring there, right?”

Her tone is alright, so Mu Wan was not too harsh with her. She answered after she poured the water from the faucet into her hand. “The doctor’s gathering is like this. The topic can’t be separated from surgery, patients, or essays. If you are too professional, outsiders can’t get a word in, and you’ll get bored.”

Xiao Yun laughed as if nothing had happened. She turned and looked at Mu Wan next to her, “However, we doctors are unaware of it. The doctor is the most understanding of the doctor, and it was a pleasant conversation.”

There are only two people beside the sink. When the tap is turned on, water immediately falls and makes a slight sound on the porcelain sink.

As an outsider, Mu Wan looked at Xiao Yun. What he said just now shows her personal style, which is very serious, pretentious, self-righteous, and contemptuous. She connoted her, insinuating that she and Liu Qianxiu were not the same people.

The corners of Mu Wan’s lips raised slightly, and her smile was polite. She looked up and down at Xiao Yun and said, “The red dress looks pretty.”

Xiao Yun’s jaw trembled.

She also saw how Mu Wan was dressed that day and thought Liu Qianxiu liked it, so she bought some today.

After pulling a piece of tissue, Mu Wan was still smiling. She wiped her fingers slowly and said, “But doctor Liu has already seen me wear it, and it’s rare to see anyone else wearing it. I’m an actress, so I’ve never lost face before.”

After wiping the last drop of water, Mu Wan put the damp tissues in the trash can and left the bathroom smilingly.

When she went back, Xiao Tan and Liu Qianxiu were still talking. Since the topic of surgery had started, they continued to talk about it. Mu Wan just passed by and heard Xiao Tan say something. “Are you interested in going to the scientific research meeting of Wencheng First Hospital next week?”

Liu Qianxiu didn’t answer. He noticed Mu Wan coming and looked back at her. Mu Wan looked at him, thinking about what Xiao Tan had just said, and just about to ask, the waiter at the back said hello, and the food was served.

When the food was served, Xiao Yun also came back. She patched up her makeup, but her expression remained the same, still gentle and dignified. The topic they talked about at the dining table was surgery. Mu Wan was holding a knife and cutting the steak, looking at Liu Qianxiu.

Liu Qianxiu looked back at her.

Mu Wan bit the steak, and her mouth moved slightly. She kept eating it because she couldn’t get a word in, and the steak in front of her had already seen the bottom. Xiao Tan asked something, so Liu Qianxiu turned around and talked to him, quietly moving the intact steak to Mu Wan.

Liu Qianxiu didn’t eat the steak but had already cut it. The hand with a scalpel still works well for cutting steak. The steaks were cut evenly with a complete edge and a small piece arranged in neat rows.

Mu Wan looked at him with bulging cheeks and asked, “You don’t want to eat?”

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu responded in a low voice.

With a sweet mouth, Mu Wan handed him the empty plate and said, “Then I will eat it all...”

After placing the empty plate before him, Liu Qianxiu quietly said, “OK.”

The interaction between the two was so small that Xiao Tan didn’t notice it. Only Xiao Yun, holding the lemonade on the opposite side, looked at them, her knuckles gradually whitening.

After dinner, the group separated. Mu Wan followed Liu Qianxiu home to see the cat. Because she had nothing to say, she ate two steaks, and her belly bulged. The threads on the waistcoat are all stretched a bit.

Mu Wan fastened her seat belt, and her belly bulged like a small hill. She released herself, raising her eyes to look at Liu Qianxiu next to her.

Liu Qianxiu started the car, noticed her sight, and looked back at her. Mu Wan glanced down at her stomach, so his gaze also moved down, and he saw her little round belly.

Beside him, Mu Wan laughed and joked: “Doctor Liu, look at my belly. How many months have I been pregnant?”

She is thin and slim, with a bulging belly, which makes her a little cute.

Although he was not an obstetrician and gynecologist, Liu Qianxiu made a rough estimate and said, “Four months.”

Pushing her belly forward, Mu Wan pinched her thin waist and said, “Look! That’s what you’ve done.”

Her original intention was that she had such a big belly after eating the steak Liu Qianxiu gave her. But after speaking, she realized she was a little ambiguous and emotional.

Mu Wan’s face was slightly dry, and she sat up straight and put her belly back. The street lights outside the car window were mottled and couldn’t illuminate her face. Liu Qianxiu’s gaze paused, his lips pressed tightly, and he drew his eyes back and started the car.

Back at Liu Qianxiu’s house, Mu Wan saw the kitten, hugged this and rubbed that, and remembered that she was going to Wencheng to film. Mu Wan walked out of the cat room, and at the bedroom door, she saw Liu Qianxiu, who just took a shower.
