Su Yunjin was worried that Shen Yuechuan was not prepared for the operation. In fact, she was worried whether the operation would be a success or not.
Once the operation failed, Shen Yuechuan would leave this world, and they would lose him forever.
Once this tragedy happened, no matter how many regrets Shen Yuechuan still had, he could not make up for them.
Shen Yuechuan should know this better than anyone else.
However, he told Su Yunjin that he was not worried about anything.
In other words, he had settled everything and was ready to accept the outcome.
Indeed, Shen Yuechuan did not have to worry about anyone but Xiao Yunyun.
A myriad of feelings gradually gathered in Su Yunjin’s eyes. It was hard to tell whether she was gratified or worried.
In the end, Su Yunjin nodded with a smile and said, “It’s good that you’re ready.”
After lunch, Su Yunjin said that she was leaving.
Xiao Yunyun hurriedly stood up and tried to persuade Su Yunjin to stay. “Mom, won’t you stay with us for a while longer?”
Su Yunjin had been away for a long time, and she had only been with them for less than half a day. Xiao Yunyun hoped that she could stay a little longer.
“No, I’ll be here tomorrow,” Su Yunjin said with a smile, “and I want to go to Dingya Villas to see your aunt, Xiyu, and Xiangyi. The two babies should have grown a lot.”
“Yes, they’re getting lovelier by the day!” Xiao Yunyun thought of Tang Yulan’s kidnapping some time ago, and then said, “Mom, it’s a good idea to visit Auntie Tang. She had an accident before, and now she’s staying with my cousin-in-law for the time being.”
“I heard from Yicheng on my way back.” Su Yunjin picked up her bag. “I’m leaving.”
Shen Yuechuan arranged for the driver to send Su Yunjin and Xiao Yunyun went with him to the parking lot.
Seeing Su Yunjin’s car drive away, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun turned around and walked to the inpatient building.
On the way, Xiao Yunyun suddenly remembered something and grabbed Shen Yuechuan. She suddenly jumped in front of him like a little monkey and said, “Stop! You have to clarify what you said earlier!”
Shen Yuechuan stood still, put his hands into his pockets leisurely, and asked deliberately, “What did I say?”
“Don’t pretend!” Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan seriously. “What do you mean by saying that you are not worried about me?”
“…” Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrows and remained silent, with an unfathomable look.
Xiao Yunyun became even more anxious. She jumped up and down like a little monkey and said, “I’ll give you one chance. Explain it to me now!”
Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun and vaguely felt that if he did not make it clear, the little girl would explode.
He reached out, pressed Xiao Yunyun’s head, and easily held her in place.
Xiao Yunyun struggled wildly, only to find that Shen Yuechuan’s hand seemed to be glued to her head. She could not get rid of it at all.
She became even more furious and screamed, “Let me go!”
Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun helplessly and said, “Yunyun, I may have others on my mind, but…”
Xiao Yunyun interrupted directly, “Do you mean that I’m not as important as others to you?”
Shen Yuechuan felt even more helpless. He released Xiao Yunyun, gazed at her, and said, “Yunyun, you will always be in my heart.”
He did not need to have her on his mind, because Xiao Yunyun would forever be the most important person in his heart.
It took Xiao Yunyun a long time to understand what Shen Yuechuan meant. She looked at him in a daze with reddened eyes, but smiled broadly.
She suddenly threw herself into Shen Yuechuan’s arms, hugged him, and pressed her face against Shen Yuechuan’s chest without saying a word.
At this moment, she did not have to say anything.
Shen Yuechuan also gently wrapped his arms around Xiao Yunyun, as if he were cuddling a peerless treasure. He lowered his head and kissed her on the top of her head.
At this moment, Shen Yuechuan’s profile and eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
A gust of cold wind blew over. Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun tacitly hugged each other tighter. They did not intend to separate or move at all.
Seeing that, Song Jiqing really felt speechless. He shouted from a distance, “Enough! Hurry back to the suite! That little girl, that patient, don’t stay too long in the cold wind. Don’t you care about your health?”
Xiao Yunyun looked in the direction of the sound and saw Song Jiqing standing there with his hands on his hips and looking displeased.
Although she was usually bold, she felt a little embarrassed at this time. She could not help burrowing herself in Shen Yuechuan’s arms like a little squirrel.
Shen Yuechuan touched Xiao Yunyun’s head and comforted her in a low voice. “Don’t be afraid. Song Jiqing is just jealous of us, for he can’t handle Ye Luo.”
Xiao Yunyun thought about Shen Yuechuan’s words and suddenly felt that it was possible.
She looked up at Shen Yuechuan and said, “Doctor Song is old enough, but he is still single. He really must be pitied.”
Shen Yuechuan took Xiao Yunyun’s hand and said, “Let’s go and care for the older single man.”
Xiao Yunyun followed Shen Yuechuan and finally stopped in front of Song Jiqing, who was half a head taller than her. There was a hint of pity in her almond-shaped eyes.
The more Song Jiqing looked into Xiao Yunyun’s eyes, the more he felt that something was wrong. He was confused and asked, “Yunyun, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Yunyun gave Song Jiqing a comforting look and said, “I’ve met Ye Luo several times. Although she looks cool, she is actually a nice girl who has a soft heart. If you hurt her before, she will forgive you as long as you sincerely apologize to her.”
Song Jiqing could not figure out why Xiao Yunyun suddenly brought up Ye Luo’s name.
The corners of his mouth twitched. “And then?”
Xiao Yunyun said seriously, “Well, then you and Ye Luo can also have a romantic embrace in the cold wind!”
Only then did Song Jiqing realize that Xiao Yunyun thought that he had shouted just now because he was jealous of her and Shen Yuechuan.
For a moment, Song Jiqing could neither cry nor laugh. He looked at Xiao Yunyun with a strange expression and said, “I said…”
Xiao Yunyun extended her palm and told Song Jiqing, “You don’t have to say anything!” Then she patted Song Jiqing on the shoulder. “If you can’t handle Ye Luo, you’re welcome to come to me for help. I will be happy to help you!”
“…” Song Jiqing looked at Shen Yuechuan speechlessly, as if trying to get an answer from him.
Shen Yuechuan just smiled and said, “Yunyun is really happy to help you. You don’t have to thank me. We’ll go back now.”
After that, Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun’s hand and walked to the inpatient building.
Watching them leave, Song Jiqing suddenly understood how it felt to witness others’ public display of affection. He was completely frustrated as he stood in the cold wind.
After entering the elevator, Xiao Yunyun finally could not help laughing out loud. She looked at Shen Yuechuan without any guilt. “Did we go too far… by treating Dr. Song like this?”
Shen Yuechuan smiled and said calmly, “He is the only single person among us. Why should we not treat him like this?”
Xiao Yunyun thought for a moment and felt that what Shen Yuechuan said was reasonable. She nodded in agreement.
Shen Yuechuan ruffled Xiao Yunyun’s hair and looked at her. The two then burst into laughter.
The days passed and soon, it was New Year’s Eve.
Xiao Yunyun was extremely excited the moment she woke up. She packed their bags as fast as she could, and soon Shen Yuechuan woke up.
Xiao Yunyun jumped onto the bed and looked at Shen Yuechuan. “Get up and change your clothes. Then we can leave the hospital to celebrate the Spring Festival!”
Shen Yuechuan sat up, lifted the quilt, and touched Xiao Yunyun’s head. “Will your father be flying into City A today?”
“Yes.” Xiao Yunyun nodded, and she beamed broadly. “Let’s take the bags home first, and then I’ll pick my father up at the airport. The timing is good!”
Shen Yuechuan knew that Xiao Yunyun had a good relationship with her adoptive father, but she had not seen him since she came to City A.
She probably could not wait any longer.
In order to let Xiao Yunyun see Xiao Guoshan as soon as possible, Shen Yuechuan did not delay any longer. He got out of bed and washed up. After breakfast, he took Xiao Yunyun directly back to the apartment.
When they arrived at the apartment building, Xiao Yunyun did not go upstairs. She wanted to go straight to the airport to pick Xiao Guoshan up.
Shen Yuechuan did not get out of the car immediately. He looked at Xiao Yunyun and asked, “Shall I go with you?”
“No need. The airport is so far away. You can rest at home and book a restaurant. After I pick up my father, I’ll take him directly to the restaurant. Let’s meet there!” Xiao Yunyun kissed Shen Yuechuan on the cheek, with a beaming smile on her beautiful face. “Well, get out of the car.”
Shen Yuechuan smiled and got out of the car. He watched Xiao Yunyun’s car drive away before walking in to his apartment.
In the car, Xiao Yunyun urged the driver, “Sir, please try and speed up. My father’s plane is about to land.”
The driver understood Xiao Yunyun’s mood. He smiled, stepped on the accelerator, got on the highway, and drove Xiao Yunyun to the airport as fast as he could.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Yunyun practically rushed into the airport. When she took a look at the flight information screen, she found that Xiao Guoshan’s flight had already landed five minutes ago.
Xiao Yunyun did not delay any longer and ran straight to the arrival gate.
It was New Year’s Eve today, so the arrival gate was crowded with people. Xiao Yunyun nimbly pushed her way to the front of the crowd. Before she could find Xiao Guoshan, she heard a familiar voice calling her, “Yunyun, Dad is here.”
The resounding voice had accompanied Xiao Yunyun throughout her growing years. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Guoshan smiling at her in the crowd.
Xiao Yunyun looked at Xiao Guoshan’s familiar face and felt a gush of warmth in her heart, which eventually spread to her eyes.
She subconsciously walked toward Xiao Guoshan. As the latter released his luggage, she hugged him. “Dad!”
“Hey!” Xiao Guoshan smiled and patted Xiao Yunyun on the back. “Daddy is here.”
Xiao Yunyun burst into tears and began to sob. “Dad…”
“It’s okay now.” Xiao Guoshan held Xiao Yunyun with one hand and patted her on the back with the other hand. He comforted her and said, “Daddy is here to accompany you.”
Instead of stopping, Xiao Yunyun shed even more tears…
