Song Jiqing said those words in a completely teasing tone, sounding very relaxed.
He succeeded.
Even someone as cold as Lu Boyan could not help smiling slightly, let alone Su Jianâan and Luo Xiaoxi who were easy to smile and cheerful.
âAlright now.â Song Jiqing pointed to the ward. âIâll go in and see if thereâs anything I need to help with.â
âGo ahead.â Su Jianâan nodded with a smile and said, âYou saved Yuechuan. You are truly amazing!â
Hearing this, Song Jiqing raised his eyebrows happily and said, âI like this kind of praise. It makes me feel a sense of accomplishment!â
The implication was that Su Jianâan could say something like that more in the future, and it would be better if she kept saying it.
Su Jianâan played along and said, âSince you like it, Iâll say one more thing.â
âPlease go onâ¦â Song Jiqing nodded and pretended to be listening carefully at the same time.
Su Jianâan said unexpectedly, âDr. Song, we havenât forgotten what we promised you just now. When you have figured out how to bring it up, you can come to me at any time and tell us your request.â After a pause, she added, âItâs as we said before. If we can help you, we wonât refuse.â
This was obviously a cheering promise, but Song Jiqing didnât feel happy.
When he thought of something in the past that he always chose to overlook, his emotions would always become subtle.
The smile on Song Jiqingâs face was like a flame encountering a strong wind. It gradually went out, faded, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Su Jianâan could see that it wasnât that he was unhappy.
He was just very disappointed.
Su Jianâan was very curious. What could make Song Jiqing suddenly become like this?
Her intuition told her that there was a story behind it.
After all, Song Jiqing was a doctor with outstanding psychological qualities. He quickly adjusted his emotions and smiled at Su Jianâan. âNo problem!â He paused for half a second and naturally changed the topic. âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll go in first.â
Su Jianâan did not keep asking. She nodded and watched Song Jiqing enter the ward.
Her eyes stopped at the place where he disappeared. She was lost in thought and did not look away for quite a while.
Lu Boyan noticed her gaze and could not help but feel jealous.
Su Jianâan had never been interested in other men.
If it were not necessary, she would not stare at any other man for more than three seconds, and she would not stare in the direction where a man, except for him, disappeared for such a long time.
Now, it seemed that she was quite concerned about Song Jiqing.
Thinking of this, the jealousy in Lu Boyanâs heart surged even more. It directly overflowed and affected his tone. He asked Su Jianâan jealously, âAre you interested in Song Jiqing?â
Su Jianâan was really curious about the story behind Song Jiqing. She nodded and replied without hesitation, âYeah!â
What Lu Boyan looked forward to was a denial answer. He did not expect Su Jianâan to admit it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there appeared a sense of danger in them.
Su Jianâan was only thinking about Song Jiqingâs matter and did not notice anything unusual.
Lu Boyan stared at her intensely and asked, âShall I send someone to investigate him?â
âWell, no need to do that!â It wasnât until Su Jianâan heard his words that she turned around and looked at him seriously as she said, âThis is related to his privacy. It would be too immoral for us to investigate him out of curiosity!â
Lu Boyan did not speak.
âIf it would be immoral to spy on other peopleâs privacy, then what does it mean with ignoring me while Iâm her husband?
âDoes she realize this matter?â
Only then did Su Jianâan find that Lu Boyanâs expression was not quite right. âEh?â She asked in confusion, âWhatâs wrong?â
Lu Boyanâs tone was gloomy, and his face was full of a sense of danger. He said, âItâs nothing.â
Su Jianâan and Lu Boyan had been married for so long, although she often couldnât keep up with his thinking, she was already well aware of his routine.
According to her previous experience, the more he said that he was fine, the more serious the matter would be.
Moreover, she was very familiar with his tone like this.
Su Jianâan came to a sudden realization and said without hesitation, âI see! You are jealous of Dr. Song.â
Lu Boyan did not say anything but snorted in his heart.
âSo you know that Iâm jealous now!â
Su Jianâan looked at Lu Boyanâs angry look and could not help but smile. She explained, âI am curious about his story, just like I am curious about how a TV series full of suspense will end. I donât have any special feelings for him. Besides, wouldnât you occasionally be curious?â
Lu Boyanâs handsome face was still cold, but he just remained silent.
Su Jianâan could only ask, âArenât you curious about Dr. Songâs story?â
Lu Boyan snorted as if it was none of his business. âNot curious!â
He succeeded in ending the topic.
Su Jianâan really didnât know what to say to him next, so she turned to Tang Yulan. âMomâ¦â
Tang Yulan had long noticed that there was something wrong between Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan, but she did not interfere and left decisively.
She believed in the couple. They were both mature adults. A small problem could be solved by a proper discussion.
Furthermore, as an elder, it would be improper for her to involve herself in the matters of the younger generation.
After all, they were born in different eras, and their concept of life and the way they handled things were totally different.
However, since Su Jianâan came to her, she had to intervene.
Tang Yulan glanced at her son-in-law and whispered, âJianâan, whatâs going on between you and Boyan? Or I should ask, what happened to Boyan?â
âItâs nothing.â Su Jianâan smiled lightly and motioned for Tang Yulan to be at ease. âThis will pass in a while.â
Su Jianâan was just comforting the old lady.
If it were something else, Lu Boyan would be indeed easy to deal with.
However, since he got jealous, Su Jianâan would do everything she could to deal with it.
The key to the problem was that there were too many people around, and she could not use all her tricks. She could only let Lu Boyan be for the time being and solve the problem at home later.
At this time, Su Yicheng said, âJianâan, Iâll take Xiaoxi back first. Take good care of Yunyun.â
After Luo Xiaoxi got pregnant, her physical strength became weaker day by day, and it was easier and easier for her to get exhausted.
This morning, she had stayed with them for three thrilling hours, and her physical strength was probably exhausted. Su Yicheng took her back not only for safety reasons but also because he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable out of her exhaustion.
âOkay!â Yuechuan was fine now, and Su Jianâan did not intend to ask Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi to stay. She nodded and said, âBe careful on the way.â
Su Yicheng held Luo Xiaoxiâs hand and walked out. When they were about to leave the room, he turned back and told them, âYou should eat something. Donât just wait here with an empty stomach.â
Su Jianâan didnât have any particular feelings before he mentioned that. However, as soon as he said it, she immediately felt hungry.
Before going out this morning, she had no appetite because she was worried about Yuechuan, so she didnât eat much.
Now that she was no longer nervous and worried, her fatigued appetite from the morning filled her stomach.
âIt just so happens that I can use this to ease Boyanâs mood!â
Su Jianâan looked at Lu Boyan and did not act coquettishly. She just softened her voice and said, âHoney, I am hungry.â
Lu Boyan couldnât bear to have Su Jianâan starve the most.
He let go of the matter just now, called his assistant, and quickly booked a restaurant.
Su Jianâan looked in the direction of the ward and said, âAuntie and Yunyun probably wonât come out for a while. Letâs grab a few bites first.â
Tang Yulan felt that what Su Jianâan said made sense, and she was also indeed quite hungry. She nodded and called Xiao Guoshan over. The four of them took two cars to the restaurant.
Su Yunjin and Xiao Yunyun in the ward didnât notice that the others had left at all. All their attention was focused on Shen Yuechuan.
Xiao Yunyun sat by the bed and held Shen Yuechuanâs hand. She looked at him without looking away for a second as if he was a bubble that would easily disappear.
Because he had just gone through the operation, his face was very pale, and he looked very weak, not at all as romantic and handsome as before.
However, she could still feel his body temperature, his heart was still beating, and his vital signs were extremely strong.
For Xiao Yunyun, this was enough. She only wanted him to stay alive.
They still had a long run ahead of them. She could wait for Yuechuan to recover.
Su Yunjin was sitting on the other side of the bed, staring at Shen Yuechuan.
She was even happier than Yunyun.
More than 20 years ago, Yuechuanâs father died of a disease. She lost the person she loved the most and almost everything she cared about. She had been disheartened and desperate.
When Henry told her that Yuechuan would inherit his fatherâs illness and that her only child might not live past 30 years old, the familiar fear attacked her again.
During this period, she took Shen Yuechuanâs medical records and visited many famous doctors. She couldnât tell anyone about the torture and fear in her heart.
Fortunately, Yuechuanâs operation was successful. She didnât have to experience the misfortune of losing someone she loved again.
With that in mind, Su Yunjin gradually shed tears, which became the only sound in the ward.
Xiao Yunyun noticed Su Yunjinâs tears. She walked over and sat beside Su Yunjin. She comforted her and said, âMom, itâs all right now.â
Su Yunjin held Xiao Yunyunâs hand, closed her eyes, and nodded. âI know that.â
Xiao Yunyun wiped away Su Yunjinâs tears and said, âBefore the operation, Yuechuan said that he would not let you experience the pain of losing you care about again. He did it.â
âYeah.â Su Yunjinâs tears slipped down again. âI know that too.â
Xiao Yunyun smiled. After thinking for a while, she decided to tell Su Yunjin something else.
She said, âThereâs one more thing, and I donât think youâve known it.â
Su Yunjin asked curiously, âWhat is it?â
Xiao Yunyun only said after a while, âI know why Yuechuan never called you mom.â
Su Yunjin was stunned and smiled bitterly. âHe is still blaming me.â
Xiao Yunyun shook her head and denied, âNo. Itâs not like that.â
In fact, Shen Yuechuan had forgiven Su Yunjin long ago. There was another reason why he had never called her mom.
