Top-tier Auntie in the Entertainment Industry

Each department in the hospital has some public welfare medical rescue projects.

Because of Song Anan, the Song Group donates to designated public welfare projects of medical assistance in the Affiliated Hospital of B University every year.

In Song Zhenhui and Zhao Ya's words, anyway, their group has to do public welfare every year, and donating to wherever is the same. In this way, it also supports Song Anan's work.

In addition, in some charity fundraising public welfare projects, Song Linchuan and Zhou Wei often make a little contribution. Shi Qing and Qi Director couple have also participated.

Since Pei Kuang's finances became more comfortable, he has been doing related public welfare. In recent years, he has always invested in some medical assistance projects.

The hospital where Song Anan works has a tradition of conducting medical assistance every year.

Such medical assistance is for some medically underdeveloped and poor areas. Doctors from various departments will be sent out to provide medical assistance, which is also to respond to the call of the country. There are both short-term and long-term projects.

In these poor areas, there is a lack of not only doctors, but also equipment and medicine. The medical staff is taken care of by the hospital, but equipment and medicine need someone to invest in or raise donations from the society.

In recent years, Pei Kuang has invested in the medical assistance projects of the cardiac surgery department where Song Anan is.

For several consecutive years, Song Anan has been on the list of medical assistance almost every year, of course, she applied voluntarily.

As an investor, Pei Kuang generally goes along during the medical assistance period.

Because everyone knows they are husband and wife, they basically eat and live together during medical assistance.

Song Linchuan once jokingly said that this is also a special trip for the couple to arrange every year. Song Anan and Pei Kuang both like this statement.

Within their capabilities, helping more people as much as possible, they both feel very meaningful.

For such medical assistance, you have to go out for at least ten days to half a month. Every year, Song Anan sends Mu Mu to S City in advance and asks Zhao Ya to help take care of him.

But when Mu Mu was seven years old, after discussing with Pei Kuang, Song Anan decided to take Mu Mu with them on the medical assistance this year.

The little guy was so happy that he knew he could go with them. Although he didn't really understand, just thinking that he could go out with his parents made him very happy.

He even started looking forward to it many days in advance.

On the day of departure, they went with the hospital convoy. The three of them sat in the last row of a commercial vehicle. There were a total of seven people in the car, in addition to the three of them and the driver, the other two people, a chief physician of cardiology and a attending doctor from Song Anan’s department.

Mu Mu was very excited all the way, chattering nonstop with Song Anan and Pei Kuang. It was the little guy's first time going so far away from home, and he was very curious about everything outside.

"Dr. Song, you two are really willing to take such a young child out and not afraid that he will suffer." The chief physician of cardiology in the front row said with a smile.

Song Anan smiled and said, "He's not that little anymore, already seven years old."

This chief physician smiled and shook his head. At seven years old, how is that not little, this age is still a precious darling at any family.

The likes of Song Anan and her husband are really rare.

"To be honest, my daughter is already ten years old. If I really had to take her out like this, I wouldn't bear to."

Pei Kuang said with a smile: “That’s different. Boys are tougher. If it was a daughter we wouldn't dare either.”

The chief physician smiled. He wasn't stupid. He knew Pei Kuang was just being polite. Even if it was a daughter, they might still dare to bring her along.

In fact, he and Pei Kuang were not strangers. About three years ago when he participated in medical assistance, this couple was also there.

Every year their hospital sends doctors out to provide medical assistance, but most people usually go out once every few years.

After all, things like medical assistance are tiring and troublesome, and there is no remuneration. Very few are like Song Anan, who goes out every year.

Many medical staff who came with them were actually quite envious of Song Anan. As a doctor, everyone has a benevolent heart, but in real life, everyone also has a lot of helplessness.

In the second half of the journey, Mu Mu had clearly passed the initial excitement and gradually calmed down.

The car drove on the mountain road, swaying, and the little guy unconsciously fell asleep in Pei Kuang's arms.

The car drove for a long time before finally arriving at the assisted location.

The group was arranged in a hotel in the city. The environment was naturally incomparable to that in B City, but no one cared. Those who came out to provide medical assistance were already used to it.

They arrived in the afternoon. Everyone simply tidied up in the hotel. After taking inventory of their respective supplies, people from each department came to the restaurant for dinner.

This time it was a free clinic project jointly carried out by their hospital and the local government. Since it was a free clinic, the examination and operation fees were all waived.

It goes without saying that a lot of people will come, and it is said that there will not only be locals, but also many patients from other places who want to come.

Eat early, rest early, there is still a tough battle to fight next.

Song Anan's family of three went to the table where the cardiac surgery department was eating, together with other colleagues.

Whether it was Mu Mu or Pei Kuang, these people in the cardiac surgery department were not unfamiliar to them, and everyone chatted and laughed together, and the atmosphere was quite good.

There was a child at the table, and everyone couldn't help teasing him.

Mu Mu also cooperated very well. He answered neatly whatever others asked, neither bored nor shy, very smiley to everyone, taking after Pei Kuang in this respect.

People usually only ask children a few questions back and forth when teasing them, nothing too difficult to answer.

A young nurse suddenly asked, "Mu Mu, what do you think your dad and mom are like?"

Mu Mu frowned and thought about it very seriously: "In my heart, my mom is a little fairy, very beautiful and very powerful, but she also needs me and dad to protect her."

Without a doubt, at this remark, the hearts of all the middle-aged women present were instantly melted.

The cardiac surgery folks were still okay since they were relatively familiar with Mu Mu, but people from other departments were obviously much more excited.

Ah ah ah, this is too cute and well-behaved! Want!

"What about dad?" the nurse continued to ask.

Mu Mu thought about it slightly and answered solemnly, "My dad is my idol. He is very powerful and seems to be able to do everything. He is the hero for me and mom."

The crowd instantly had starry eyes.

Dad is the hero for me and mom!

Does this little kid really know what he's saying?

"But, sometimes dad is also very childish." Mu Mu added.

Childish?

The crowd glanced at Pei Kuang, smelling some gossip, and hurriedly asked, "For example?"

Mu Mu replied, "For example, dad is obviously older than mom, but sometimes he's like a child in front of mom, often acts coquettish and asks for hugs, and shamelessly asks for kisses..."

Pei Kuang didn't feel anything at first, but the more he listened the more wrong it sounded. He hurriedly covered his son's mouth to keep him from saying anything more embarrassing.

He glared at the little guy. Little punk, all your dad's old embarrassing stories have been exposed by you!

The crowd was stunned at first, then burst into loud laughter.

At this point, Song Anan's face had long turned red. She only dared to bury her head in the bowl of rice in front of her, not even raising her head.

Pei Kuang looked calm. He smiled at everyone and said, "Sorry, let you see us make a fool of ourselves."

The first meal after arriving here passed in such a relaxed atmosphere.

After the meal, everyone went back to the hotel in twos and threes.

The first few days were for consultations, to check and judge the condition first, and then see if surgery was needed afterwards based on the situation.

The surgical location was arranged in a local hospital. During this time, Song Anan was busy running around.

The medical technology here was backward, and the doctors' skills were limited. Many routine cardiac surgeries could not be performed at all, so many patients were queueing up.

In addition to medical staff, there were also some ordinary volunteers. When things got too busy in the past, Pei Kuang would also go to be a volunteer.

However, this time because he brought Mu Mu along, he did not volunteer again for fear that he could not handle it.

But the father and son were not idle either, they were on site during the day, doing what they could, such as helping medical staff fetch things, guiding patients, and so on.

Over the past few days, Mu Mu had also met quite a few people, including some patients around his age.

Pei Kuang would intentionally bring him to the consultation rooms and let him observe the doctors treating patients for a while.

It was apparent that the little one had changed after going through some things recently.

For instance, he now understood that not every child could enjoy a superior upbringing. Many things he used to take for granted were precisely what many others yearned for but could not obtain.

However, Song Anan had been too busy these days to notice any of that. She had not even had any time to spare with Mu Mu lately, returning home after he had already gone to bed and leaving in the morning before he woke up.

Fortunately, Pei Kuang had been by his side all along, helping to resolve many of his doubts.

That night, Song Anan managed to come home a little earlier. Mu Mu had not fallen asleep after his bath yet when he heard the sound of the door opening. Seeing that it was Song Anan, he immediately hopped off his bed to get her slippers for her.

"Mom, you're home! Mu Mu missed you."

Song Anan ruffled his hair with a smile. "Mom missed Mu Mu too."

She then squatted down and looked at Mu Mu apologetically, "Sorry for not spending much time with you these days."

Mu Mu shook his head. "It's okay, Mom. Mu Mu knows you've been busy curing illnesses and saving lives."

Song Anan laughed and hugged Mu Mu tightly. Mother and son shared an intimate moment.

Since it was rather late, Pei Kuang urged Song Anan to quickly take a shower and get ready for bed earlier so that she could rest sooner. She had surgeries scheduled for tomorrow still.

After Song Anan went into the bathroom, Pei Kuang told Mu Mu to go to bed.

Lying in bed, the little one tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. "Dad, Little Jiang's eyes really can't be cured?"

Little Jiang was a boy around Mu Mu's age with an eye condition they met at the free clinic today.

Pei Kuang told him the truth, "Probably not. Didn't that doctor uncle say so? They missed the optimal treatment window for his eyes. There is no way to completely cure him for now."

"Oh," Mu Mu sighed dejectedly. "How unfortunate. It must be so upsetting for him if he can never see again."

Pei Kuang glanced at Mu Mu and asked, "Mu Mu, what's your biggest takeaway from the free clinic these past few days?"

Biggest takeaway?

Mu Mu furrowed his little brows, pondering hard before answering, "So many regrets."

Some couldn't walk with their legs anymore, some had incurable heart conditions, and so on...

Moreover, "regret" was the word he had heard the most these past few days, whether from the doctor uncles and aunties or the patients themselves. He had heard it so many times.

Pei Kuang murmured in acknowledgement, "That's right, regret is the norm in life. Everyone experiences it to some degree."

"Oh," Mu Mu exclaimed. "But it doesn't seem like I have any regrets." 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com

Pei Kuang pinched his cheek. "That's why our Mu Mu is so fortunate."

"But remember, as you grow older, you'll inevitably encounter some regrettable things too. But that's okay. If you really can't change something, just accept it."

Life's journey must go on after all. Regret is simply inevitable.

Mu Mu scratched his head, clearly not understanding.

Pei Kuang just smiled without explaining further. Some things would naturally make sense when the time came.

Mu Mu asked, "Dad, do you have any regrets?"

Pei Kuang rested his hands behind his head and casually replied, "I have two biggest regrets."

Mu Mu tilted his head at Pei Kuang. "What are they?"

With a smile, Pei Kuang answered, "The first is what I told you before - I really regret not becoming a doctor."

"Oh," Mu Mu acknowledged. His dad had mentioned that a couple days ago.

He said that becoming a doctor was his childhood dream. But some things happened in his family later, so he became an actor instead.

"What about the second regret?" Mu Mu asked.

Pei Kuang heaved a sigh. "The second is not falling for your mom earlier."

Now Mu Mu was even more confused.

But before he could ask more, Pei Kuang patted his head and said, "Alright, it's time for bed. Close your eyes."

"Oh," Mu Mu obediently closed his eyes.

By the time Song Anan came out, the little one was already fast asleep.

Without hesitation, Pei Kuang picked up his son and tucked him into the very inside of the bed before holding his darling wife to sleep.

Only a small nightlight was left on after the main lights were switched off.

Snuggling in Pei Kuang's embrace, Song Anan suddenly asked, "So you wanted to become a doctor?"

That would explain his obsession with medical documentaries.

It also provided a reasonable explanation for why he was so drawn to playing doctor roles.

Pei Kuang was taken aback initially but soon chuckled, "Eavesdropping on my conversation with our son?"

Song Anan harrumphed, "Who's eavesdropping? The bathroom has poor sound insulation anyway."

Then she complained, "How come Mu Mu knows but I don't?"

Pei Kuang laughed softly, "Weren't you the one who said I was always jealous of our son? Look who's jealous now?"

Song Anan smacked him once. "Don't change the subject! I asked if you really wanted to become a doctor."

With a smile, Pei Kuang replied, "Yes, I dreamed of becoming a doctor since I was little. If I hadn't entered showbiz, I might have become your senior schoolmate."

Song Anan was surprised. So he had wanted to apply to B University Medical School too?

Pei Kuang raised his brows. "What, think I couldn't get in?"

Song Anan quickly shook her head sincerely. "No, I'm sure you could have gotten in."

She had heard from Luo Yi that Pei Kuang was the top student in their high school before he dropped out. Their teachers had high hopes for him to be the champion.

He definitely could have gotten in if not for the things that happened in his family later.

Pei Kuang pinched her cheek with a grin. "See, we were destined to be together."

"Huh?" Song Anan didn't see how that meant they were destined.

Pei Kuang chuckled, "Don't you see? Even if I hadn't entered the entertainment industry or met Linchuan, we'd still be schoolmates. We'd still have gotten together."

Song Anan blinked. "That's not necessarily true though."

After all, he was seven years older than her. Even if she had started university early, there would still have been several batches between them. Whether they'd meet was uncertain.

But Pei Kuang dismissed her doubts. "No, I'm certain. I know I would have pursued you the moment we met!"

Because he knew so well what a treasure this girl was.

He also knew full well the irresistible attraction she held for him.
