What's Wrong with Getting a New Wife? [Rebirth] [MTL]

Chapter 1

At nine o'clock in the evening, it was raining heavily outside the window.

　　A flash of lightning lit up the sky, accompanied by rumbling thunder. The torrential rain slammed against the glass windows mercilessly, making a frightening sound.

　　The lights in the room were on. Gu Ji was sitting on the sofa with a doctor in a white coat standing next to him. An open medicine box and scattered bandages were placed on the coffee table.

　　Hearing the sudden thunder, Gu Ji looked at the window without any emotion.

　　The doctor also heard the increasingly heavy rain and sighed, "Mr. Gu, autumn rain chills the bones. It has rained several times since the beginning of autumn. Your legs..."

　　The doctor said it without noticing it for a moment, and then he quickly shut up when he realized what was happening.

　　He didn't know how Mr. Gu's leg was injured. He only knew that he had injured his bones in his early years and had not healed them well. Whenever it rained or was cloudy, he would feel intense pain, which was unbearable for most people, but Mr. Gu never said a word.

　　The doctor closed the medicine box and reminded as usual: "The medicine has been changed. Don't catch a cold in the next few days, otherwise it will be more uncomfortable in winter--"

　　Suddenly, the cell phone on the coffee table rang urgently.

　　The doctor's words were interrupted and he subconsciously glanced at the man sitting on the sofa.

　　After a few seconds, Gu Ji took the phone and pressed the answer button.

　　The room was very quiet. The doctor could clearly hear the voice coming from the other end of the phone. It was a cool and pleasant male voice.

　　"It's raining, come pick me up... I was in a hurry and forgot to bring an umbrella..."

　　The doctor was distracted for a moment. He had heard that Mr. Gu had a homosexual lover, but he had never seen him. He thought that this person must be Mr. Gu's lover, but...

　　It was raining so heavily outside, and Mr. Gu's legs could not withstand the ravages of the cold wind and rain, so he could not go out. Mr. Gu's wife had to take a taxi back by herself.

　　Gu Ji replied calmly: "Qingran, where are you?"

　　The doctor was stunned. Hearing what Mr. Gu meant, he couldn't help but speak up to stop him: "Mr. Gu——"

　　"In front of the newly opened bar on Jinfeng Street. And bring me a coat. It's a bit cold. Come quickly." Lin Qingran spoke briefly and to the point. Besides the crackling sound of rain in the background, cheerful jazz music could be faintly heard coming from the opposite side.

　　Gu Ji agreed.

　　The doctor said in a serious tone: "Mr. Gu, your current physical condition is not suitable for going out. Don't take it lightly. If you catch a cold, you will have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life."

　　It's cold and wet in the rain, and it's hard to say whether the patient will develop any underlying illness. No doctor would want to watch his or her patients ruin their health.

　　"Thank you very much."

　　Gu Ji's tone was polite but without much emotion. He did not listen to the doctor's words. He stood up from the sofa and picked up the black coat beside him.

　　When he stood up, Gu Ji's right knee joint felt slightly stiff and unnatural.

　　The doctor knew he couldn't persuade him and shook his head.
