When he contacted the other professors the next day, Shen Yuechuan emphasized on keeping it a secret again and again with the same words.
In other words, the more money they paid for the consultation, the more they needed to keep it a secret.
The answers Shen Yuechuan got towards the end were almost the same as those of the two professors from the United States, and he was quite satisfied with them.
During lunchtime, Shen Yuechuan handed the list to Lu Boyan and said, âContacted them all. The fastest one will leave for City A tonight, and the slowest one will arrive early the day after tomorrow.â
Lu Boyan was surprised. âDid you ask Yunyun for help?â
He knew very well that Shen Yuechuan was not familiar with medical experts, but he spent less than 24 hours to find the experts of childrenâs asthma and get in touch with them.
If there was no one to help him, it was unlikely that he would be able to find them at such a speed.
Shen Yuechuan shrugged his shoulders with a calm face. âI have no choice. I canât help it. It would have been okay if you didnât mention that Yunyun could help me. But when you mentioned it, I felt that if I donât take this opportunity to find her... Iâm a bastard.â
Out of expectation, Lu Boyan didnât laugh at Shen Yuechuan this time. He just reminded her, âYunyun may study abroad.â
âI remember.â Shen Yuechuan pretended to be relaxed. âThat may be better. If I canât see her, maybe I can slowly get her out of my mind.â
Since he had experienced a similar situation before, Lu Boyan shook his head and told Shen Yuechuan, âNo, you wonât.â
If oneâs heart was moved by someone, letting them go was much more difficult than one could ever imagine.
Shen Yuechuanâs thought was obviously too optimistic.
Shen Yuechuan has seen how much Lu Boyan had missed Su Jianâan. Of course, he knew that distance could not drive the forgetting, but he did not expect Lu Boyan to reveal his mind so directly.
He fiddled with his hair and stiffly changed the topic. âHow is Xiangyi today?â
âSheâs fine.â When it came to Xiang Yi, Lu Boyanâs tone showed his pain. âShe didnât suffer from asthma today.â
âThatâs good.â Shen Yuechuan sighed and accused her. âThe God that everyone believes in doesnât really know how to be a human being. How can he torture our Xiangyi in such a way?â
However, God was not a human indeed, was he?
If he were human, he would understand the pain of human beings.
If he had understood the pain of human beings, he would not have arranged this kind of fate for him.
Shen Yuechuan was drowned in emotions during the lunch.
In the afternoon, Lu Boyan got off work on time. The driver knew that it was impossible for him to work overtime during this period, so he drove to the companyâs gate early to wait for him.
After getting in the car, Lu Boyan received a phone call from Xiao Yunyun.
âBrother, are you off work?â
âI just got downstairs.â Lu Boyan knew Xiao Yunyunâs intention without guessing. âYou want me to pick you up?â
âWell...â Xiao Yunyun began to explain, âYour hospital has never considered the feelings of those who donât have a car. There is no bus and subway station nearby, and it is more difficult to take a taxi at this time than to fly to the sky...â
Lu Boyan smiled and said, âWait for me at the gate of the hospital. Iâll come to you right now.â
âOkay!â Xiao Yunyun did not hide the excitement in her voice. âThank you, brother-in-law!â
Lu Boyan asked the driver to drive past the Eighth Peopleâs Hospital. In less than twenty minutes, he picked up Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun got into the car quickly and urged as soon as she sat down, âUncle Qian, hit the road!â
Lu Boyan looked at Xiao Yunyun and asked, âWho are you hiding from?â
âNobody,â Xiao Yunyun said with a look which meant âitâs none of my businessâ, âItâs your car thatâs too flashy. If itâs seen by colleagues, there may be some rumors. I donât want to explain.â
Lu Boyan asked flatly, âThen how did you explain to them when Yuechuan came to pick you up in the past?â
Xiao Yunyun tilted her head and said, âHe... Thereâs no need to explain. My colleagues have already misunderstood.â
Lu Boyan thought that Xiao Yunyun would be eager to get rid of the misunderstanding between her and Shen Yuechuan. But he didnât expect that Xiao Yunyun would take such a decadent tactic.
He suddenly wanted to figure out Xiao Yunyunâs mind for Shen Yuechuan. âYou didnât explain to them?â
âThe power of gossip is beyond your imagination.â Xiao Yunyun helplessly spread out her hands. âI explained it to them once, but they thought I was hiding it. So, itâs better not to explain it.â
âHuh?â Lu Boyan expressed his surprise. âAre you just going to compromise and admit it?â
âNo, my silence doesnât mean that I admit it.â Xiao Yunyun paused and then said loudly, âIn any case, people like Shen Yuechuan and we, who hate each other, canât be together. So gossip... will break up in the future. I donât need to waste the time to explain.â
Lu Boyan handed Xiao Yunyun a bottle of opened mineral water and said nothing.
From Xiao Yunyunâs expression and reaction, if she wasnât acting, then it might really be a mistake that she used to make people think that she liked Shen Yuechuan.
As for the fact that she was Shen Yuechuanâs younger sister, she probably didnât know it yet.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xiao Yunyun thought that Lu Boyan would go to the suite with her, but she found that Lu Boyan was walking in the direction of the pediatrics department, so she couldnât help asking, âCousin-in-law, where are you going?â
âXiyu got examined today. Iâll go to the doctor to get to know his conditions,â Lu Boyan said, âYou go to find Jianâan first.â
Xiao Yunyun said, âOkay.â
She walked in the direction of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. When she entered, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure out of the corner of her eye.
It was obviously the figure of a foreigner, but he was wearing the white coat of a doctor in the hospital. It seemed that he was beyond the age of retirement. How could he be in the hospital?
Out of curiosity, Xiao Yunyun couldnât help looking at him more. Something blurred in her mind. She vaguely felt that this person was familiar. She seemed to have seen him in a famous medical magazine, but she couldnât remember which field he was in.
âMiss Xiao,â a nurse passing by greeted to Xiao Yunyun, âare you here to see Mrs. Lu?â
âYes,â Xiao Yunyun replied with a smile. Then she turned her head in the previous direction and saw that the foreign doctor in the white coat was gone.
Since she didnât remember who it was, Xiao Yunyun didnât take it to heart and walked towards the elevator.
When she arrived at the elevator, Lu Boyan also came back from the doctor with the inspection results of Xiyu. She pressed the opening button of the elevator and said, âCousin-in-law, letâs go upstairs together.â
âI thought you had already gone upstairs.â Lu Boyan pressed the button and asked, âHave you met an acquaintance?â
âNo, I seem to have seen a big shot in the medical field,â Xiao Yunyun said regretfully, âBut he shouldnât be in the field of cardiac surgery like me. I canât remember who he is. I can only see that he is a foreigner who has been specially interviewed by a magazine.â
Lu Boyan said, âThe hospital often invites experts from other hospitals or foreign countries for consultation. Itâs normal for you to see doctors who are featured in the medical magazines here.â
Xiao Yunyun replied with an âohâ and said, âThen thereâs really nothing strange about it. Letâs go.â
The elevator soon reached the top floor. Xiao Yunyun rushed out of the elevator and went straight to the suite. The two little guys were just awake. She carefully picked up Xiangyi from the baby bed.
Looking at the fair and tender little girl in her arms, Xiao Yunyun understood the meaning of heartache for the first time.
She was such a clean and beautiful little girl. She should have been a little angel. How could she suffer from asthma, which was such a severe disease?
âCousin,â Xiao Yunyun held the Xiangyi in her arms and asked, âIs Xiangyi all right?â
Su Jianâan touched her daughterâs little face. âDonât worry, the doctor has said that there is hope for a cure. Even if medicine canât help her, as long as she is looked after carefully, she can grow up healthily.â
âWhat about Xiyu?â Xiao Yunyun asked.
Since Xiangyi inherited asthma, there was also the possibility for Xiyu to suffer from asthma.
âXiyu...â Lu Boyan just came in. Su Jianâan said, âYouâll know after you ask your cousin-in-law.â
Lu Boyan put down the examination report of Xiyu and said, âHe is fine.â
Xiao Yunyun let out a long breath. âFortunately, otherwise, it would be too troublesome.â
Su Jianâan was still worried. She looked at the examination report of Xiyu. Seeing that every index on it was normal, she was finally relieved.
Fortunately, fate did not make things too difficult for these two little guys.
Lu Boyan took the report from Su Jianâan, held her hand, and put much strength to it. âDonât worry, Yuechuan has already contacted the professors who are going to attend the consultation for Yiyi, and it will start the day after tomorrow at the latest.â
Su Jianâan nodded. âGreat!â
A day had passed. She had calmly accepted that Xiangyi was not completely healthy. The innate genes couldnât be changed, but she could take care of her daughter more carefully the day after tomorrow.
As long as she was more careful and considerate, Xiangyi would be able to grow up healthily like an ordinary newborn.
At this time, Xiangyi suddenly kicked her leg in Xiao Yunyunâs arms and hummed twice, as if protesting something. Then she began to cry again, and Xiao Yunyun couldnât pacify her no matter how hard she tried.
In the end, Xiao Yunyun could only surrender. âCousin-in-law, come and hold her. I canât handle it.â
Lu Boyan had just washed his hands. He walked over and hugged his daughter. When he lowered his head, his eyes and eyebrows were full of love. âWhatâs wrong, huh?â
Xiangyi looked at Lu Boyan with her clear and bright eyes, and her snort became aggrieved.
Lu Boyan smiled and stroked his daughterâs delicate face with the back of his hand. âGood girl, daddyâs back. Donât cry.â
Perhaps Xiangyi had understood Lu Boyanâs words, so she leaned her head into Lu Boyanâs arms and actually stopped crying.
Xiao Yunyunâs heart softened when she saw that scene. She suddenly remembered a sentence that a man would always be a teenager until his death.
In fact, it was not quite right. At least after having children, they would change.
When it came to the changes, Xiao Yunyunâs mind suddenly fell on Shen Yuechuanâif Shen Yuechuan were a father, would he still be as unrestrained and playful as he was now?
However, before thinking about this problem, she should firstly think about whether Shen Yuechuan could be a father.
Other than her, who else would love someone like him so much?
Su Jianâan noticed that Xiao Yunyun was distracted and called her, âWhat are you thinking about?â
Xiao Yunyun came out of her trance and pointed at Lu Boyan with a smile. âIâm pondering if a man, no matter how cool he is, will become like my cousin-in-law as long as he becomes a father?â
âNot necessarily,â Su Jianâan said, âBefore the birth of Xiyu and Xiangyi, I completely didnât expect your cousin-in-law to become like this.â
Xiao Yunyun said, â... All right.â
