The Great Qing Dynasty Has Fallen

Qin Mucheng was silent for a moment. Just as Ji Yuanyuan’s heart was sinking, he finally spoke.

“I always believe that people should be more selfish.” Qin Mucheng said, “You are yourself first, then you are my wife, Tangtang’s mother, and Father and Mother’s daughter.”

Ji Yuanyuan rubbed her tears on Qin Mucheng’s clothes sadly.

“Besides, I understand your thoughts. Any choice you make is not for yourself. It’s not about selfish or not. Don’t have too high a moral standard for yourself. It’s too tiring.”

Ji Yuanyuan took a deep breath. She reached out and touched Qin Mucheng’s face. She pinched it gently. “If a doctor has no morals, wouldn’t this world be too scary?”

Qin Mucheng sighed helplessly. “I’m saying that you shouldn’t set a high moral standard for yourself. I’m not asking you to be immoral.”

“It seems like you’re really drunk. Your brain is much slower than usual,” he mumbled before Ji Yuanyuan could retort.

Ji Yuanyuan blinked and knocked Qin Mucheng’s head. “Nonsense. I’m not drunk. I’m sober. You didn’t see Lin Nan. She definitely won’t remember anything when she wakes up tomorrow.”

Hearing Ji Yuanyuan talking about Lin Nan, Qin Mucheng snorted coldly. “Even if she doesn’t remember, she has to remember. Tomorrow, I’ll make her regret the alcohol she drank today.”

“How did Lin Nan offend you?” Ji Yuanyuan was a little puzzled.

Qin Mucheng did not say anything and just pushed Ji Yuanyuan up.

Ji Yuanyuan hugged Qin Mucheng’s neck and thought with her dull head.

After a while, Ji Yuanyuan finally regained her senses. “Oh, Lin Nan said bad things about you. You really hold a grudge, but…” she said slowly.

She climbed up again and stuck her head out to kiss Qin Mucheng’s cheek. “I like it.”

Qin Mucheng could not help but smile.

After a while, Ji Yuanyuan fell asleep on Qin Mucheng’s back.

Qin Mucheng then placed her back in the car and brought her home.

The procedures at the hospital were quickly completed, and the date of Ji Yuanyuan’s departure was set.

The day they set off was Saturday. Qin Mucheng brought Tangtang to send her overseas.

Qin Mucheng wanted to book a flight, but Ji Yuanyuan did not want to act special.

The opportunity to study abroad was given not only to their hospital but also to other hospitals.

A few people from different hospitals set off together on the same flight.

Ji Yuanyuan was not very familiar with them. If she started to make things special now, it would not be easy to get along with them in the next two years.

Qin Mucheng did not insist after knowing Ji Yuanyuan’s concerns.

He bought tickets for the same flight and brought Tangtang along with Ji Yuanyuan.

The plane tickets were economy class.

The seat he bought was right behind Ji Yuanyuan’s.

It was Tangtang’s first time sitting in economy class. She was a little curious and looked around curiously.

From time to time, she would ask a strange question.

Qin Mucheng answered patiently.

Ji Yuanyuan’s neighbor was another doctor in their hospital, from the neurology department. She was in her forties and was also a woman. Her surname seemed to be Chen.

When she saw how Qin Mucheng and Tangtang interacted, she said enviously, “Your husband has a good temper. He’s also very patient with the children. Different from my husband.”

She shook her head helplessly when she mentioned her husband. “It was fine when I was young. The older we get, the worse his temper gets. I’m also getting more impatient. The child isn’t close to him either. I’m worried that in the two years that I’ve been gone…”

As she spoke, her tone actually choked up.

Ji Yuanyuan quickly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her. “Perhaps your husband is overly reliant on you when you’re around. After you left home, he had no one to rely on, so he could only grow up.”

Doctor Chen took the tissue and wiped the corner of his eyes. He said helplessly, “I hope so. Fortunately, the child is in high school this year. He only goes back for two or three days a month.”

As the two of them were chatting, a man in the front seat spoke up. “If you ask me, you women should stay at home and take care of your husband and children. You women have been given a good opportunity, but you think about your husband and children every day. Can you learn well? Both of you are from the First Hospital, right? What is your director thinking? Why are both of them women?”

He wasn’t tall and had sparse hair on his head. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and the corners of his mouth habitually curled down when he spoke.

Dr. Chen’s face turned red with anger, but she did not know how to retort.

“You still want them to take care of your husband and raise your children? The great Qing Dynasty has long been fallen. Keep those thoughts to yourself. Why do women always have to think about their husbands and children? It’s all because men are useless. If you can take good care of the family, would we be worried? You don’t have to worry about what our director thinks. Our director is also a very outstanding woman. For someone like you…”

She sized up the man from head to toe and mimicked his actions. The corners of her mouth curled down. “We have different levels of thinking. You definitely won’t understand the thoughts of our director.”

The man was stunned for a moment before his defense was broken. “You, damn little girl…”

“Since this little girl can sit with you, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself? Why do you only grow old and not have a brain?”

“You…” The man was a little angry and embarrassed. He unbuckled his seatbelt and stood up, pointing at Ji Yuanyuan’s nose, and was about to scold her.

“You’re not allowed to point your finger at my mother. How rude!” Tangtang glared at the man.

“Sir, did my wife say something wrong?” Qin Mucheng patted Ji Yuanyuan’s shoulder to comfort her.

When he reached out, the watch on his wrist was revealed.

When men reached a certain age, they would have some knowledge about watches.

After all, a man’s identity could be determined from his watch.

Therefore, when the middle-aged man saw the watch on Qin Mucheng’s wrist, his expression turned a little ugly.

He could tell that the watch on Qin Mucheng’s wrist was expensive.

There was a slightly younger man beside the middle-aged man. He quickly reached out and pulled him back to smooth things over.

Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan’s lips twitched in disdain.

What era was it now? Why was there still sexism?

The last man who discriminated against her for being a girl was now in prison.

Tangtang stepped forward and patted Ji Yuanyuan’s chest. “Mommy, don’t be angry. In my heart, Mommy is the best.”

Ji Yuanyuan turned around and gently reminded her. “Go back to your seat. Mommy is not angry.”

When Tangtang heard this, she obediently returned to her seat.

After more than seven hours of flight, Ji Yuanyuan and the rest arrived at their destination.

Tangtang had already fallen asleep and was lying on Qin Mucheng’s shoulder.

Ji Yuanyuan and the rest entered the hospital where the training would be conducted and the hospital would make the necessary arrangements.

Qin Mucheng could not enter. After sending Ji Yuanyuan to the hospital, he brought Tangtang to the hotel..
