Chapter 322: Chapter 320: You Have No Down Jacket, Nor a Wife

Qin Zhao saw his dazed look, which was quite adorable. She walked over and rubbed his handsome face, "Right, can’t I buy you something? I just made some money recently."

She bent down to unpack the parcel, while Chu Yan stared at the back of her head, only then did he react, and he couldn’t help but curl his lips upward.

Qin Zhao bought two down jackets, a black one for men and a gray-green one for women. The style was the same; once they wore them, anyone could tell they were a couple’s set.

However, the weather forecast was a bit off.

They said it would cool down recently and might even snow, but the next day turned out to be sunny. But did that stop Chu Yan from wearing the down jacket?

Of course not.

Not only did he want to wear it, but he also wanted to tell others that his wife bought it for him.

"Ling Yi, how’s my down jacket?"

"Huh?"

In the office, Ling Yi came in to report on work, looking utterly confused.

Since the conditions at the Imperial Capital First District Hospital were excellent, with the heating definitely on and very warm in the winter, their boss was still wearing a down jacket.

Ling Yi weirdly stared at Chu Yan’s down jacket, not giving any comments.

Chu Yan asked again, "How’s my down jacket?"

"It’s very nice, looks very warm, and suits your temperament well. Where did you buy this? I want one too, especially since this winter is quite cold."

Ling Yi observed it carefully; it was just a regular down jacket with a simple design.

But as a competent subordinate, when the boss asked twice about the down jacket, indicating satisfaction, he definitely had to compliment it!

Chu Yan solemnly pulled up the zipper of his down jacket all the way to the top.

Standing taller than Ling Yi, Chu Yan looked down at him, proudly saying, "My wife bought it for me; you probably can’t find it."

Ling Yi: "???"

Chu Yan: "My wife has really good taste."

Ling Yi: "???"

Hmm, I’ll go home tonight and have my wife buy one for me too! What, only you have a wife?

I have one too!

Ling Yi internally criticized his boss madly, but on the surface, he cheerfully said, "Your wife indeed has great taste, this down jacket really suits you like it was tailor-made!"

Chu Yan nodded in agreement and even decided to double Ling Yi’s bonus for the month.

Oh, how embarrassing.

Ling Yi’s face showed a mix of shock and shyness; he never imagined that one day he’d be swept away by a down jacket.

"Dr. Chu, someone is looking for you outside."

A nurse came knocking. She saw Chu Yan wearing a down jacket and wasn’t surprised, thinking he was about to go out. It was still a bit cold outside the office.

The person looking for Chu Yan was wearing a duckbill cap and a mask, a common sight in the hospital. Although Chu Yan didn’t see the face, he still recognized Qi Ling.

"Happy wedding."

Qi Ling knew about Chu Yan’s wedding and meant to attend the banquet, but there had been some internal issues in his organization, so he had to deal with them abroad and missed the wedding.

He handed over a small gift box, which Chu Yan accepted, "Thank you."

The gift came a bit late, but Chu Yan was grateful to everyone who congratulated him on his marriage.

Chu Yan put the gift box into his down jacket’s pocket. Qi Ling didn’t plan to chat more and turned to leave, but Chu Yan pulled him back.

He patted his down jacket, "How’s my jacket?"

"What do you mean?"

Qi Ling looked at him puzzled.

"Just this down jacket, how is it?"

"Not bad."

Qi Ling succinctly threw out two words.

"My wife bought it for me."

"..." Oh.

"My wife has really good taste."

"..." Oh.

Chu Yan shook his head, sighed, and looked at him, "You’re really pitiful."

Qi Ling: "?"

Chu Yan: "You have neither a down jacket nor a wife."

Qi Ling moved his arm and shrugged off Chu Yan’s hand that was resting on it.

Thinking that giving him a gift today was really bad luck, he wished he hadn’t come.

He walked away with a cold face.

He probably wouldn’t contact Chu Yan any time soon.

Wearing a down jacket indoors was really hot, so Chu Yan eventually had to take it off and hang it in his office closet like a treasured item to keep it from getting dirty.

Whenever he was free, Chu Yan would stand by the window, a serious look of contemplation on his face.

Ling Yi saw this and thought Chu Yan was worrying about something significant. He couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, are you worried about something? Maybe I can help share the burden."

"When will it snow?"

"The weather forecast says there will be heavy snow in the next few days. The temperature will drop sharply, and surely many people will get sick. Hopefully, there won’t be too many severe cases as the hospital is already short-staffed."

Ling Yi sighed. As a doctor, he hoped that there would be no patients in the hospital.

Just as he was reflecting on human suffering and thinking that his boss was more concerned about these matters than he was, Chu Yan suddenly said, "If it snows heavily, I can wear a down jacket with my wife."

Ling Yi: "???"

Chu Yan wanted to wear this couple’s down jacket with Qin Zhao, but she currently refused to wear it because she wasn’t cold and found it cumbersome.

"Isn’t it a waste to buy new clothes and not wear them?"

Ling Yi hadn’t recovered from the previous remark yet and laughed awkwardly, "Well, women like to buy new clothes, new cosmetics, etc. It’s okay; we just need to earn more money."

"But this is a couple’s down jacket; we’re supposed to wear it together."

"..."

Ling Yi decided to give up on communicating and quietly left the office.

The moment he closed the door, he rolled his eyes dramatically. He definitely shouldn’t chat with the boss today; every time they talk nicely, the conversation suddenly shifts to a down jacket.

Ling Yi really wanted to ask, doesn’t your wife usually buy you things? It’s just a down jacket; does he need to keep mentioning it?

Luckily, he didn’t say it out loud. If he had, Chu Yan would probably grab a scalpel and chop him up.

Because, he really hadn’t bought it before.

Qin Zhao didn’t know that she had just bought Chu Yan a down jacket, and he was flaunting it around the hospital like crazy, driving his assistant to despair, not wanting to communicate with him.

Meanwhile, she was at the mall, shopping with Qin Wan.

She bought Qin Wan a few sets of new clothes and then, as they passed the men’s section, occasionally remembered that she had a husband.

Chu Yan’s figure was perfect for clothing; the store models didn’t look as good as he did, simply because his face could make ordinary clothing look extraordinary.

"Zhaozhao, aren’t you cold wearing so little? Did you wear thermal underwear?"

Qin Wan saw her wearing only a wool coat and a very thin sweater underneath and was worried she might freeze.

"I didn’t wear any; I’m not cold."

"You should still wear more. It’s fine when you’re young, but if you get sick, it’s going to be awful when you’re older. There are thermal clothes over there; you should buy a couple of sets for yourself and for Chu Yan."

Qin Zhao wasn’t planning to buy any, as she really wasn’t cold, but she thought about Chu Yan being a mortal; he must be afraid of the cold, right? So she decided to buy him a few sets.
