Lu Boyan finished giving the instruction and came back from the directorâs office. He happened to meet Song Jiqing.
Before Shen Yuechuan could wake up, Song Jiqing needed to examine his condition regularly every day. When he saw Lu Boyan, he asked in surprise, âWhy are you here so early?â
âJianâan decided it.â Lu Boyan simply explained and then asked, âHow is Yuechuanâs condition?â
âItâs very stable.â Speaking of this, Song Jiqing couldnât help smiling. âIf nothing unexpected happens, he will wake up tomorrow at the latest. However, I didnât tell Yunyun about this. Sheâs in a good mood, and I donât have to give her extra expectations in case sheâll overthink it. She will get a surprise if Yuechuan suddenly wakes up tomorrow.â
As they spoke, they entered the suite.
Xiao Yunyun saw Song Jiqing. She narrowed her eyes and smiled brightly. âGood morning, Dr. Song!â
Song Jiqing also smiled and said, âGood morning.â
Xiao Yunyun automatically stepped aside, made a gesture of âpleaseâ and said, âFeel free to perform the examination!â
Song Jiqing praised Xiao Yunyun from the bottom of his heart. âNot bad. Youâre more and more cooperative.â
Su Jianâan thought for a moment and interrupted, âDr. Song, I think Yunyun is being very nice to you as well.â
In the past, Xiao Yunyun and Song Jiqing would roast each other, and she would never be so polite to him.
âWellâ¦â Song Jiqing pondered for a moment and continued, âI donât have much hope about that. When Yuechuan recovers, I believe that Yunyun will still treat me the same way as before.â
Su Jianâan was speechless.
She had never seen any man who mocked himself like that.
Xiao Yunyun patted Song Jiqingâs shoulder with a smile and said, âDr. Song, donât worry. I will always be grateful to you!â
âUh-huh.â Song Jiqing nodded. âI have no doubts about that!â
Xiao Yunyun no longer bothered Song Jiqing.
He quickly finished the examination. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, âYuechuan is fine. You can rest assured and wait with ease before he wakes up.â
Xiao Yunyun played along and nodded obediently. âOkay!â
âIâm leaving now. Iâll come back in the afternoon.â Song Jiqing gave Xiao Yunyun an encouraging look and said, âKeep the review going, little girl. The postgraduate entrance examination will start soon. I hope you can pass it and continue your studies.â
After Xiao Yunyun went through Yuechuanâs operation, Song Jiqing believed that she would become an excellent doctor.
A long time ago, he had run out of ties with many outstanding doctors.
However, he was happy to see Xiao Yunyun become a doctor who could save patients.
Xiao Yunyun didnât know what Song Jiqing had expected of her. She looked confident and said firmly, âI will work hard and I will definitely pass the exam!â
Su Jianâan held Lu Boyanâs hand and said to Xiao Yunyun, âWeâre leaving too. Contact us if you need anything.â
âOkay!â Xiao Yunyun said firmly, âJianâan, donât worry. Everything will be all right!â
Su Jianâan smiled and left the inpatient building with Lu Boyan.
When she got downstairs, fresh and cold air rushed to her face. She did not feel cold but refreshed.
She took a deep breath and said with emotion, âThis is wonderful!â
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and pretended to ask seriously, âJianâan, are you talking about me?â
Su Jianâan looked at Lu Boyan for a moment and gave an answer that disappointed him. âNo.â After a pause, she continued, âIâm referring to our current situation! Yuechuan has recovered and Yunyun is about to continue her studies. Isnât that great?â
Unexpectedly, Lu Boyan did not speak.
Su Jianâan thought about it and soon understood why Lu Boyan remained silent.
Maybe it was because of Mu Sijue.
Yuechuan was cured, but Xu Youning was still in the Kang family, and Mu Sijue couldnât even get in touch with her.
What was worse, her condition was no better than Yuechuanâs.
Mu Sijue had to make a more difficult choice than Yuechuan, and they would accept a greater challenge.
They didnât know if fate would favor them again next time.
Su Jianâan thought for a moment before she came up to Lu Boyan, looked at him seriously, and said, âYuechuanâs matter could be dealt with, so is Youningâs. We will all help Sijue.â
âWe donât need to worry too much about Xu Youningâs matter.â Lu Boyan smiled and took Su Jianâanâs hand. âLetâs go home first.â
They got in the car and headed back to Dingya Villas.
Spring had arrived. The scenery from the hospital to the suburbs was very pleasant. Buds grew out of dead branches and flowers bloomed against the sun. Everything was full of vitality.
This seemed to be a good sign.
Su Jianâan secretly told herself that Mu Sijue and Xu Youning would be like this season, full of hope.
âBut then again-
âWhatâs Youning doing at this moment?
âDoes she know that Yuechuan had an operation and it was successful?
âIf she does, would she be more hopeful? Would her desire to survive become more determined? And would she have more trust in us?â
The answers to Su Jianâanâs questions could all be found in the old house of the Kang family.
The news that Shen Yuechuanâs operation was a success and he made it through the life-and-death challenge was reported wildly by all the major media.
Even those who didnât know Shen Yuechuan could know about what he encountered through this report.
Kang Ruicheng paid close attention to everyone related to Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue, so he naturally did not miss the news of Yuechuanâs successful operation.
However, this kind of news was not good news for him.
Kang Ruichengâs face had been gloomy since he read the report. It was already lunchtime, but he just sat at the dining table and did not move the food on it.
Mumu took a mouthful of rice and looked at Kang Ruicheng in confusion. âDaddy, why are you upset again?â
Dongzi happened to be standing next to them. He coughed in a low voice, indicating that Mumu should not continue.
âOkay.â Mumu understood what Dongzi meant. He tilted his head, took another bite of rice, and said, âIâll eat. I wonât talk.â
Smack!
Kang Ruichengâs patience reached its limit. He slammed the cutlery on the table and turned to leave the old house.
After Xu Youning and Mumu woke up, they played games in the room and didnât go downstairs until it was time for a meal. They didnât know what had happened at all. Watching Kang Ruicheng leave, they looked confused.
However, they were also curious.
Xu Youning still decided to make it clear. She called Ah Guang and said, âAh Guang, come here.â
Ah Guang was going to leave with Kang Ruicheng. When he heard Xu Youningâs voice, he could only turn around and look at her. âWhat can I do for you, Ms. Xu?â
âIâm fine.â Xu Youning looked in the direction where Kang Ruicheng left and changed the subject. âBut is there something up with Brother Cheng?â
Ah Guang thought for a moment and corrected her. âTo be exact, itâs not about him.â
âAre you sure?â Xu Youning pretended to be doubtful and asked slowly, âIf he is fine, why would he be in a bad mood?â
Dongzi sighed in distress, hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully, âItâs because of Shen Yuechuan. Just now, all major media outlets reported the same thing â he had an operation, and it was successful. Brother Cheng knew that Shen Yuechuan was seriously ill some time ago, but we missed itâ¦â
Xu Youning looked confused. âShen Yuechuanâs illness is his own business. What did Brother Cheng have to miss?â
âMs. Xu, you are also aware that Shen Yuechuan is Lu Boyanâs most capable assistant,â Dongzi said. âWhen he was sick, it was originally the best time for us to get rid of him. If he was dealt with, we would get to weaken Lu Boyanâs strength. But now, Shen Yuechuan has survived his operation, and we no longer have that opportunity.â
Xu Youning didnât say anything.
âSure enough, Kang Ruicheng still has bad intentions.â
Xu Youning nodded as if nothing had happened. âI see. Iâll leave you to your business now.â
After Dongzi left, Xu Youning and Mumu looked at each other. They put down their cutleries with tacit understanding and returned to the room upstairs.
As soon as they got back to the room, Mumu immediately lost control. He stamped his feet and said, âAuntie Youning, is Uncle Yuechuan really cured? Well, I want to read the report Uncle Dongzi talked about. Please show it to me now!â After a pause, he suddenly realized something. âWell, I canât read it. Youâll read it to me!â
Xu Youning touched the little kidâs head with a smile and took out her iPad to search for the news.
Just as Dongzi said, all the domestic media had reported the success of Yuechuanâs operation. As soon as she searched for the keywords, she could read all kinds of reports related to the news.
Shen Yuechuan had a good relationship with many media reporters, so the wording of those reports was naturally very kind. Most reports were blessings for him.
âSome people would never receive so many blessings.
âIs that one of the reasons why Kang Ruicheng is so angry?â
However, Xu Youning was not mad at all.
On the contrary, she regarded this as a glimmer of hope.
Mumu was much more excited than Xu Youning. He took Xu Youningâs hand and said happily, âAuntie Youning, read it to me now!â
âNo problem!â
Xu Youning held Mumu in her arms with a smile and read the report to him word by word.
After he finished listening to the report, his eyes lit up. He stared at Xu Youning with shining eyes and asked, âSo, has Uncle Yuechuan recovered?â
âUh-huh.â Xu Youning nodded and said, âSister Yunyun will no longer be sad.â
âThatâs great!â Mumu cheered, threw himself into Xu Youningâs arms, and called her in a soft voice. âAuntie Youning, I have something to tell youâ¦â
âWell, Iâm listening.â Xu Youning touched the little boyâs head. âGo ahead!â
She had thought that Mumu would say that he was glad or bless Yuechuan and Yunyun. Unexpectedly, the little boy changed the topic.
âAuntie Youning, donât worry about your condition! Youâll get better like Uncle Yuechuan did!â
