Su Jian’an could totally understand why Mu Sijue chose Xu Youning.
Just as Lu Boyan had said, Xu Youning was unique in the world.
If he gave up on Xu Youning, even if the child could be born without a hitch, Mu Sijue would owe Xu Youning forever, and he would only immerse himself in pain and blame himself for the rest of his life.
However, if he chose Xu Youning and Youning could recover, there would be infinite possibilities for Mu Sijue’s future.
Also, they could have another child.
Su Jian’an believed that the people around Mu Sijue, like her, completely understood and respected Mu Sijue’s choice.
However, their understanding and respect was of no use.
Because Mu Sijue could not forgive himself for abandoning his child.
After he gave up the child, even if Xu Youning could recover, it would not be a perfect ending.
The child who could not come to this world would become the eternal regret for Mu Sijue and Xu Youning.
This episode would leave a scar that would forever be imprinted on the hearts of Mu Sijue and Xu Youning.
Fate posed a question, where there was a trap, to Mu Sijue. Even if Mu Sijue made a choice and had to endure the piercing pain, at the last moment, fate would cruelly push him into a whirlpool.
The moment when Mu Sijue decided to give up the child, he had already shackled himself.
That shackle would pull Mu Sijue into the whirlpool from time to time, so that Mu Sijue would never be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.
Su Jian’an could imagine what kind of torture Mu Sijue would suffer, and she could also guess that for a long time to come, Mu Sijue could only grope his way through in the dark.
It was not until Xu Youning recovered that Mu Sijue would see the sunlight again.
Yes!
As long as Xu Youning recovered, Mu Sijue would also be in a better mood!
Su Jian’an seemed to be suddenly enlightened and smiled. She snuggled into Lu Boyan’s arms and said confidently, “Everything will be fine.”
According to Lu Boyan’s understanding of Su Jian’an, she would not say something like that for no reason.
“Why do you say that?”
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an leisurely, waiting for her next words.
Su Jian’an remained calm and said slowly, “Since Sijue has made such a decision, Youning’s recovery is the most important thing. If Youning can recover, time will heal Sijue’s wound. Even if his wound can’t heal completely, as long as Youning accompanies him, he will go through this period of time.”
Lu Boyan had to admit that Su Jian’an hit the point.
Mu Sijue had chosen Xu Youning, which meant that he had placed all his hopes on Xu Youning alone.
If Xu Youning’s treatment failed, it would be a real fatal blow to Mu Sijue.
However, if Xu Youning recovered, Mu Sijue would have a reason to live. Everything would not be too difficult for Mu Sijue, and he would not suffer such severe pain.
In other words, if the person you loved was by your side, no matter what kind of test you encountered, it would be easier to get through it.
There was a smile on Lu Boyan’s lips, and he kissed Su Jian’an’s forehead. “You go to sleep first. I’ll go to the study.”
Before Su Jian’an could say anything, Lu Boyan had already gotten up and left the room.
Without thinking, she could roughly guess what Lu Boyan was going to do.
Su Jian’an thought for a moment, decisively lifted the quilt, flung a shawl over her shoulders and walked to the study, too.
She was right. Lu Boyan was now in a meeting with Xu Youning’s medical team in the study.
Fang Heng participated in the meeting as well. His young and handsome face appeared on the screen.
Fang Heng was younger and more confident than the other doctors, and he had a frivolous and charming air about him that doctors shouldn’t have, which made him look like a rich young master who was just here for fun.
Looking at Fang Heng, Su Jian’an found it hard to imagine that he was a medical student who graduated from a top medical college.
What was even more unimaginable was that less than five years after his graduation, Fang Heng had become a famous brain surgeon around the world, and also a medical talent that all the hospitals fought for.
A young and promising elite like Fang Heng should certainly have his own sense of prestige.
Su Jian’an wondered why he was willing to listen to Lu Boyan’s arrangement.
However, it was not the time to ask such a question now.
Lu Boyan looked at the computer screen, and there was a touch of seriousness and coldness in his handsome face. He said in a decisive tone, “I don’t care who Sijue chose in the end. I want you to guarantee that Sijue’s choice is right.”
In other words, he wanted Xu Youning to live.
He wanted Xu Youning to accompany Mu Sijue through the darkest time in Mu Sijue’s life.
Feeling greatly stressed, Fang Heng massaged his temples and asked awkwardly, “Boss Lu, do you know how difficult it is?”
Lu Boyan glanced at Fang Heng and asked, “Do you know how much higher your salary is than that of an ordinary doctor?”
Fang Heng was speechless and could only raise his hands in surrender. “Alright, we will do our best.”
Lu Boyan was obviously dissatisfied with Fang Heng’s answer. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Do your best?”
Fang Heng heard the dissatisfaction in Lu Boyan’s words and quickly explained, “I mean, we will try our best to cure Xu Youning and let her accompany Little Seven for the rest of their lives!”
Lu Boyan did not continue this topic. There was a touch of seriousness in his deep voice. “Fang Heng, it’s very important.”
Fang Heng also knew that it was very important.
Mu Sijue chose Xu Youning at the last moment, which showed that Xu Youning was more important than anything else.
If he failed to keep Xu Youning alive, it would be like killing Mu Sijue with his own hands.
No, it would be more painful for Mu Sijue to watch Xu Youning leave the world than to kill him.
Therefore, Fang Heng had to save not only Xu Youning but also Mu Sijue.
At this thought, Fang Heng abruptly realized that he, a young and handsome man, would be responsible for two lives!
“Fuck, it’s too burdensome!”
Fang Heng looked serious. He gazed at Lu Boyan and said, “You don’t need to emphasize it. I know it’s very important.”
After a pause, Fang Heng continued, “Don’t worry. Even if I have to pay the price with half of my life, I will find a way to cure Xu Youning. After all, I am a genius doctor. If Xu Youning dies under my treatment, it will ruin my own reputation too, right?”
Fang Heng used to joke around, but this time, he was serious.
Lu Boyan trusted Fang Heng and looked less serious.
Fang Heng immediately looked frivolous and casual again. He gazed at Lu Boyan and smiled. “Boss Lu, I would like to remind you of one thing as well.”
Mu Sijue did not say anything.
He knew Fang Heng’s way of doing things too well, and it was definitely nothing good that he was referring to.
Fang Heng suddenly moved closer to the camera and looked at Lu Boyan with a faint smile. “I heard that you love your wife very much. It’s so late, but you still convened a meeting for Little Seven. I suspect that you actually love Little Seven.”
Lu Boyan glanced at Fang Heng and blurted out, “Get out.”
He turned off the camera and the computer, and looked at Su Jian’an, who was standing next to him.
He already knew when Su Jian’an came in, but he did not want those on the other side of the camera to see her, so he did not talk to her.
Su Jian’an looked at the clock on the wall and said, “It’s already early in the morning. Go back to sleep.”
In the past few days,Lu Boyan was very busy dealing with Mu Sijue and Xu Youning’s affairs. Every day when he returned home, he would be very tired.
As soon as he lay on the bed, he would fall asleep immediately, even faster than Su Jian’an did, just like now.
Su Jian’an looked at the evident tiredness on Lu Boyan’s face and stroked his eyebrows with distress. She gently kissed him, then closed her eyes and snuggled into his arms. After a while, she fell asleep as well.
The next day, when the sky had just brightened, Su Jian’an quietly got up, put on her coat, and disappeared from the room.
Having been married for so long, Lu Boyan had gotten used to seeing Su Jian’an lying beside him after he woke up. However, when he opened his eyes early in this morning, there was no one next to him.
It had occurred before, but very rarely.
Lu Boyan sat up and asked in a low and hoarse voice, “Jian’an?”
Since Su Jian’an was not in the room, naturally no one would respond to him.
Lu Boyan frowned and became more confused. He got up and went downstairs. From a distance, he smelled the aroma from the kitchen.
He thought of something and walked to the kitchen door. As expected, he saw Su Jian’an making breakfast inside.
He knocked on the door to attract Su Jian’an’s attention.
Su Jian’an knew without looking outside that it was Lu Boyan. She dried her hands on the apron, picked up a small bowl, and handed it to Lu Boyan. “Have a try.”
She had just woken up, and she was wearing a loose and light-colored home dress. She looked languid, casual and particularly beautiful in the morning light.
Lu Boyan pushed away the bowl in Su Jian’an’s hand and fixed his eyes on her face. “Honey, I don’t want to try the porridge.”
Su Jian’an knew Lu Boyan too well. When he called her “honey”, it was usually not a good thing.
She took two steps back and looked at Lu Boyan cautiously. “Then… what do you want to try?”
Lu Boyan suddenly held Su Jian’an’s face and looked at her deeply. “You.”
Su Jian’an was speechless.
“Did he think she was a pair of shoes or some article of clothing! Try her?”
Before Su Jian’an could protest, Lu Boyan’s kiss had already landed on her. He held her face, sucked her lips hard, and absorbed her taste greedily.
Gradually, Su Jian’an’s protests disappeared from her mind.
After an unknown period of time, Lu Boyan loosened his grip on Su Jian’an, and he said in a warning and threatening tone, “Don’t run down without telling me in the future.”
It was a special period now. When he did not see Su Jian’an, he would start thinking about negative thoughts.
Su Jian’an looked innocent. “You were still sleeping. How could I tell you?”
Lu Boyan responded immediately. “You could wake me up.”
Su Jian’an hesitated for a moment and said, “I figured that after waking you up, I might not be able to come down…”
Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Jian’an with a meaningful smile. “If you can’t come down, what will happen to you then?”
