“Do you really want a son!” Song Zhizhi asked indignantly.

What if she can’t give birth to a son?

Would Ji Baijian dislike her?

Or would he insist on her giving birth until she had a son?

The thought of her dire fate made Song Zhizhi even more upset.

“My lady, do you really think I’m such a superficial man?” Ji Baijian cooed, his voice melodious, “I would eagerly await the birth of a daughter who is just like you. Be it a son or daughter, as long as it’s a product of our love, even if you were to give birth to a puppy, I’d love it dearly.”

Song Zhizhi stared at Ji Baijian in astonishment.

She observed his sincere countenance.

She furrowed her eyebrows, “Ji Baijian, who are you calling a dog!”

“I was merely making a comparison.”

“Who makes comparisons like that?!” Song Zhizhi was not pleased.

Ji Baijian laughed heartily.

Yan Jin stood by the entrance of the hospital room.

Even though Ji Baijian’s health was excellent, he still needed to perform regular check-ups to keep up appearances. Should he go in or not?

In all the years Yan Jin had known Ji Baijian, he had never seen him laugh as sincerely. Ji Baijian used to appear so mature that Yan Jin even doubted his real age. If not for the known fact that he was the son of Ji Yunlei, Yan Jin definitely would have thought Ji Baijian got filler injections to maintain his youthful look!

Yet at this moment.

Ji Baijian seemed to have regained some vitality of his youth and had turned into a carefree, sunshiny guy in front of Song Zhizhi. The man who used to be so composed, seemed to be someone other than Ji Baijian now.

Yan Jin knocked on the door.

He genuinely didn’t want to intrude. Young people being lovey-dovey was quite normal. But if he didn’t go in now, who knows what could happen.

The playful couple froze instantly.

Song Zhizhi quickly got up from Ji Baijian’s embrace, her face slightly red.

Ji Baijian also turned serious.

“Routine check-up. Lie down.” said Yan Jin.

Ji Baijian duly obeyed.

Song Zhizhi sometimes thought Ji Baijian got along quite well with Doctor Yan. Probably because… they were the same age.

A smile crept onto Song Zhizhi’s lips.

How did she end up falling for an old man?

Song Zhizhi watched as Yan Jin thoroughly examined Ji Baijian.

Wasn’t he supposed to be disease-free?

Why is the check-up so comprehensive?

She watched anxiously.

Once Yan Jin completed his examination, he advised Ji Baijian, “Although you are in good health, remember the matter I mentioned before. Don’t dismiss it.”

“What matter?” Song Zhizhi asked.

“The heart condition.” Yan Jin responded, “After going through a heart bypass surgery, he’s not like ordinary people. He can’t be overstimulated or do intense exercises. For example…”

Song Zhizhi stared at Yan Jin.

“He needs to experience it himself.” Yan Jin said each word carefully.

An embarrassed Song Zhizhi felt extremely awkward.

Yan Jin, not a fan of verbose exchanges, left the room.

Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian leisurely fastened his hospital gown and said, “Don’t listen to him. He doesn’t understand.”

“He’s a doctor. If he doesn’t understand, then who does?” Song Zhizhi replied irritably.

“He just doesn’t.” Ji Baijian insisted, “He’s divorced.”

“What does being divorced have to do with his understanding?” What kind of logic is that?!

“Direct correlation.” Ji Baijian concluded.

“So, if we get a divorce in the future, will it be because you…uh!” Before Song Zhizhi could finish her sentence, Ji Baijian forcefully covered her mouth.

Song Zhizhi almost suffocated.

Ji Baijian was being overzealous!

She looked mournfully at Ji Baijian.

Breaking away from her, Ji Baijian sternly warned her, “We are never getting a divorce in this lifetime, don’t even think about it!”

Song Zhizhi felt a flutter in her heart.

Ji Baijian stretched his arm and pulled Song Zhizhi into his embrace, holding her tight, as a sign of his determination.

Song Zhizhi lay placidly in Ji Baijian’s arms.

“Ji Baijian, can we really be together like this for a lifetime?” Sometimes Song Zhizhi felt such happiness was too good to be true.

“Yes.” Ji Baijian gave her a very certain answer.

And she believed him.

2 PM.

Mu Cidian was preparing for surgery.

Although he had changed into his hospital gown, he hadn’t been moved to the operating theatre.

The doctor was somewhat angry, “We clearly said that the patient’s family must accompany them during the surgery. Have they not arrived yet?”

Mu Cidian remained silent.

He thought, Xin Zaozao might not come.

He was about to speak…

At that moment, she suddenly saw Xin Zaozao leading Nie Feng into his ward.

His eyes moved slightly.

The doctor was a bit furious with Xin Zaozao, “Didn’t you know that your brother is having surgery at 2 p.m.? He went to get all the pre-surgery check-ups alone, and now you show up just before the surgery. Are you even his sister?”

Xin Zaozao pursed her lips, bearing it silently.

Without further elaborating, the doctor turned to the others and said, “Get ready for the operation.”

Mu Cidian, along with the doctor and the nurse, headed towards the operating room.

Xin Zaozao followed.

She didn’t intentionally arrive this late. Now that she has signed the agreement, she would stay with him until the surgery is finished.

She was just too busy that day, so busy that she almost lost track of time, and by the time she finished her work and recollected herself, it was already this late.

Mu Cidian halted at the entrance of the operation room.

The doctor and the nurse were waiting for him.

Mu Cidian suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao’s eyes shifted slightly as she met his gaze.

They both remained silent.

Mu Cidian followed the doctor and the nurse into the operating room.

Xin Zaozao sat in the corridor outside.

The corridor was very quiet.

And so it remained for about two hours.

The doctor emerged from the operation room.

Xin Zaozao stared at the doctor unexpectedly.

The doctor approached her and said, “You’re the first one ever to wait for the doctor to report to you after a loved one’s surgery.”

It meant that others would have already approached for information.

Xin Zaozao remained silent.

The doctor spoke bluntly, “The operation was very successful. He’s still under anesthesia now, but when he’s awake, he would be brought out. Let me repeat, even though the surgery was successful, the gastric disease requires careful nurturing. His diet needs special attention.”

Xin Zaozao silently nodded.

The doctor saw that Xin Zaozao wasn’t particularly enthusiastic and walked off shaking his head.

Xin Zaozao watched the doctor’s retreating figure, her gaze returning to the operation room.

And then.

She waited for about half an hour.

Mu Cidian was wheeled out.

He looked very pale, his lips as well.

“Where is the family member?” The nurse who wheeled Mu Cidian out, called out loudly.

“Over here.” Xin Zaozao stood and walked over.

The man lying on the bed at this moment, though still groggy from the anesthesia and couldn’t keep his eyes open, cracked a faint smile upon hearing her voice.

He felt a familiar figure approaching.

The nurse spoke, “Come along to the ward, there are lots of things to be mindful of, I’ll explain.”

“Okay.” Xin Zaozao replied.

Mu Cidian was wheeled back to the ward.

The nurse transferred him back onto his bed.

Several medical monitoring devices were placed on Mu Cidian.

Vital signs such as heartbeat, pulse, blood pressure were displayed on the screen by the bedside, and an IV drip was hooked to Mu Cidian’s hand.

Having finished setting up all the equipment, the nurse told Xin Zaozao, “The patient has just woken from anesthesia and his bodily functions have not yet fully recovered, leaving him very weak. But we must not let him sleep just yet. Keep calling him until the anesthesia has fully worn off in six hours before he can rest.”

Xin Zaozao furrowed her brow.

It meant that she needed to stay with Mu Cidian for six hours.

“Did you not understand?” The nurse asked impatiently.

“Do I have to keep calling his name constantly?”

“Would you rather have him pass out?” The nurse replied coldly.

Xin Zaozao pursed her lips.

“He shouldn’t eat anything during this period, but if his lips are too dry, you can moisten them with a cotton swab. He absolutely cannot drink water,” the nurse cautioned.

“Understood.”

“If anything happens, summon us immediately. Here’s the call button, press it and speak directly, the nurse station will hear you.”

“Okay.”

The nurse explained many more things before leaving.

After she left, only Mu Cidian, herself, and Nie Feng were left in the room.

Xin Zaozao stood beside Mu Cidian’s bed.

Mu Cidian kept his eyes closed, looking in bad shape.

As she watched him, she slowly said, “Mu Cidian.”

Mu Cidian didn’t respond.

“Mu Cidian,” Xin Zaozao’s voice grew louder.

Mu Cidian still didn’t respond.

Xin Zaozao frowned, walked over, bent over to his ear and said, “Mu Cidian…”

The palm of her hand.

Was suddenly gripped tightly by him.
