The first thing Du Heng did when he reached his desk was to pull out a tissue and wipe his face. He felt extremely uncomfortable, his temples feeling sticky.
The couple watched Du Heng. The man looked a bit embarrassed, but the woman seemed unfazed, continuing to glare at her husband.
After wiping his face, Du Heng took his seat, looking at the couple, and said, "Who wants to be examined? Come and sit on the stool."
The man hurriedly said, "My lover will, she will."
After speaking to Du Heng, the man turned to his wife and said, "Listen, let the doctor check you out. Doctor Du was recommended by your mother; he's very skilled. Even if you don't trust me, surely you can trust your mother?"
The woman glared at her husband again, then shook off his hand and sat on the stool opposite Du Heng as if in a huff. "Fine, I'll be examined. But just you wait. We'll discuss this matter when we get home."
