Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Defeat Magic with Magic

Gu Wei pondered: It seems, not just Su Meixi, but other women are the same. Once a woman becomes a mother, it’s as if she grows a suit of armor—her eyes are only for the child, leaving no space for anyone else, including her husband.

Gu Wei suddenly remembered something he saw online recently: Fight magic with magic.

That day, when he got home, the first thing he did was pick up the baby.

The baby cried, and he promptly changed the diaper, mixed formula—no one could take over from him.

Su Meixi noticed his diaper-changing technique was correct, so she didn’t intervene.

Then Gu Wei went to mix the formula. After the milk was ready, he sat next to the baby to feed him. During the feeding process, his eyes were only on the baby; he didn’t glance at his wife even once.

Su Meixi was a bit puzzled and called Gu Wei’s name twice, but he acted like he didn’t hear her.

After finishing feeding the baby, Gu Wei placed the baby on the bed and started coaxing him to sleep. Even during this, he didn’t look at his wife at all.

Su Meixi suddenly felt a void.

Once the baby was asleep, Gu Wei went to take a shower. When he returned, he lay next to the baby, motionless, staring at him—just like Su Meixi often did.

Finally, Su Meixi couldn’t bear it anymore and asked him, "What’s with you today? Why have you been focusing only on the baby?"

Without even looking at her, Gu Wei replied, "The baby’s so adorable. I like looking at him."

"But you can’t hog all the viewing. You’re blocking me; I want to look too."

"But I haven’t looked enough yet," Gu Wei continued staring at the baby.

Su Meixi had no choice but to go about her own business—taking a shower and washing her hair.

Since her pregnancy, she hadn’t been using any skincare products. Today, after her shower, she glanced at the cosmetics on the vanity and realized most were expired.

She combed her hair and blow-dried it.

When she came out, she saw Gu Wei still staring at the baby, and she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Was Gu Wei trying to imitate her?

Yesterday, he had told her not to devote all her time to the baby, but she hadn’t listened. Now, was he mimicking her to make her realize how it feels?

She was speechless.

But alas, if she were honest with herself, the feeling wasn’t pleasant.

Clearly, she was a living, breathing person standing right in front of him, yet he acted like she was invisible.

Just then, the baby woke up, and Gu Wei started another round of diaper changing, formula mixing, talking, and coaxing the baby to sleep—all by himself. When Su Meixi tried to help, he refused, saying he didn’t trust anyone else.

It wasn’t until he finished everything, the baby was asleep, and Gu Wei lay on the bed, that Su Meixi leaned into his arms. He sternly said, "Keep it quiet; don’t wake the baby."

Su Meixi suddenly found it amusing. This petty man—he truly held grudges.

"Honey, I want to cuddle you."

"Better not. Being so close is uncomfortable," he mimicked her usual words.

"I just want to be near you." Saying that, she draped her leg over his thigh.

Gu Wei nudged her. "I feel so hot right now."

Su Meixi couldn’t help but get annoyed. "Honey, are you being unreasonable? I’ve already made an effort, and you’re still not pleased, huh? Fine, from now on, don’t come near me ever again!"

Gu Wei saw his wife was upset and quickly tried to soothe her. "Oh, I’m sorry, honey. I just got too caught up with the baby and neglected you."

"Enough. Isn’t it just because you’re mad I’ve been ignoring you lately? But I’m only worried about the baby. When I was a kid, I didn’t get much love from my parents, so I want to make sure my child gets all the love they can. Is that wrong?"

Realizing he had taken the joke too far, Gu Wei hugged her shoulders and pulled her into his arms. "Honey, I understand. Our child won’t lack love—both of us love him, plus there’s Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt and Uncle. Everyone loves him."

Only then did Su Meixi say, "Then why did you play tricks on me?"

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again, alright? But you see, I’m your husband too. Your eyes can’t only see the baby; you need to spare a little love for your husband too. Men need love too."

Su Meixi teased, "You 150-pound baby?"

"Exactly!"

She laughed and started tickling him.

The two of them played around on the bed for a while before cuddling up and falling asleep.

...

Xi Wanfen received a message from Qiu Shuai today: [Why haven’t I seen you at the gym these past couple of days? Is something up?]

Xi Wanfen was in the adult education classroom at the time, so she didn’t reply.

It wasn’t until after class that she responded: [I’m attending classes.]

[What kind of classes?]

[I want to be a doctor, so I’m taking a few courses to see if it’s something I can handle. If I can, I’ll resign and pursue further studies.]

[That’s a lot to take on.]

Seeing his four-word reply, Xi Wanfen thought to herself that Qiu Shuai probably didn’t support her decision.

After all, she was already 24 years old—a prime age for dating and marriage. Women weren’t supposed to be "doing too much."

She decided not to reply to Qiu Shuai’s message anymore, thinking they weren’t on the same page.

She put her phone back in her bag, drove home, showered, and when she finally lay in bed to rest, she pulled her phone out again, only to see another message from Qiu Shuai.

[Did experiencing the earthquake relief effort make you want to become a doctor?]

[Everyone has dreams. Don’t worry about your age. Whatever you decide to do, I’ll support you.]

[Wishing you success in becoming a doctor.]

Qiu Shuai sent a few more emojis but stopped when he saw that she didn’t reply.

Xi Wanfen felt complicated emotions at that moment.

She hadn’t expected that Qiu Shuai would actually support her.

She replied: [Didn’t you say earlier that it was too much for me to take on? Why suddenly support me now?]

Qiu Shuai replied almost instantly: [No matter what you do, I’ll support you.]

Xi Wanfen typed: [Hahaha, honestly, I just have the thought. I’m not sure I can stick to it. After attending a few classes, I find medical studies really difficult. I might not be able to persist.]

Xi Wanfen wasn’t lazy; she just lacked aptitude.

Since childhood, her academic performance was never great. She didn’t get into a key high school during the entrance exams and ended up attending a nearby vocational school. Later, she went to a college for nursing.

To become a doctor, you usually need to have attended high school, taken the college entrance exams, and have excellent grades to get into medical school.

What she learned in vocational school was far simpler compared to what high school students studied.

So now, when she encountered clinical medical studies, it felt overwhelming.

Qiu Shuai quickly responded again: [If you find you can’t stick with it, don’t force yourself. The reason you want to study medicine is to save people, but as a nurse, you can still help a lot of people. It’s just a different role.]
