Chapter 375: Chapter 375 Jiang Yan You Tricked Me
At this moment, Su Tianyi had just arrived at the entrance of the hospital room.
Su Tianyi said, “Susu, you’re here. Come in with me and take a look.”
The police officers at the door opened the room for them, and several people stepped inside.
However, when Su He approached the bed and saw who the person lying there was, she froze immediately.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
Then, one of the police officers glanced at them and said, “He suddenly fainted in prison today. The attending doctor has already examined him and determined that he has a heart condition. Since he cannot die at the moment, we had to follow orders from above and bring him here for treatment.”
Su He never would have thought that the person lying here was Lou Ziang.
To be honest, she didn’t particularly want to treat him.
Just then, Lou Ziang opened his eyes.
He immediately noticed Su He, who was standing at the forefront.
Suddenly, he flashed a smile at her.
Su He: “…”
Now that the patient had been brought in, Su He had no choice but to comply.
After conducting a thorough evaluation, Su He concluded that the diagnosis was coronary artery disease.
She hadn’t expected Lou Ziang, being so young, to suffer from this illness. She couldn’t help but wonder if this was divine retribution.
Looking at the nearby police officer, Su He concisely said, “His current condition is quite risky. This is coronary stenosis and occlusion caused by atherosclerosis, leading to myocardial ischemia, hypoxia, or infarction. The best course of action right now is coronary artery bypass graft surgery, commonly known as bypass surgery.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you to arrange the surgery as soon as possible.”
Su He turned to Su Tianyi.
Su Tianyi quickly responded, “Alright, I’ll get things prepared immediately.”
Suddenly, Lou Ziang spoke up, “Wait.”
The police officer standing by his bedside looked at him and asked, “9537, what’s the matter?”
He raised his hand and pointed at Su He, saying, “I want her to perform the surgery on me.”
Su He frowned and remained silent.
This surgery didn’t even require her involvement in the first place.
Lou Ziang continued, “If she isn’t the one who performs the surgery on me, I won’t agree to it.”
Everyone turned their gaze toward Su He.
Hearing this, Su He smirked slyly.
“Alright. Since you’ve asked so earnestly, naturally, I can’t refuse.”
After leaving the hospital room.
Lan Yan looked at Su He and said, “Boss, this surgery doesn’t require you at all.”
Su He replied, “It’s fine. I’ll treat it as practice.”
At that point, she turned to Su Tianyi and asked, “Uncle, why did you call me back?”
There are so many doctors in this hospital; it doesn’t have to be me.
But her uncle specifically called her back.
Su Tianyi explained, “It’s an order from above. His identity is special and must remain confidential. I don’t trust others as much, so I had no choice but to call you back.”
She was also involved in sending Lou Ziang to prison.
She knew he carried several lives on his conscience and was a serious offender, but surely his identity wasn’t that extraordinary?
“Isn’t Xiao Si also in the hospital? Couldn’t you ask him? He’s pretty tight-lipped.” Su He said.
Su Tianyi replied, “He’s on vacation and hasn’t returned yet today.”
Su He: “…”
That evening, after returning home, Su He shared the situation with Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan probably knew why the upper echelon cared so much about Lou Ziang’s life.
He said, “I heard some rumors. While investigating Lou Ziang, they uncovered something, but that information is related to national security and hasn’t been disclosed. To this day, he refuses to explain.”
“Alright,” Su He nodded, indicating her understanding.
Jiang Yan wrapped his arms around her waist and asked, “So, you’ve agreed to perform the surgery on him?”
Su He smiled lightly and said, “He’s come to me voluntarily. How could I refuse?”
The man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her. He caught a sly glint in her eyes and asked, “What little scheme are you plotting this time? Tell your husband.”
Su He chuckled, “Not telling. It’s a secret.”
Immediately, the man hugged her and flipped her under him, pressing her onto the bed. Their positions shifted between top and bottom.
“Do we still have secrets between us?”
Su He tilted her head slightly, locking eyes with him.
“Even though we’re husband and wife, we’re still individuals. Individuals will have secrets.”
“But I have no secrets from you. I’m transparent in front of you.”
“That’s you, not me.”
After saying that, Su He raised her hand, giving him a little shove, “Alright, get off me. You’re too heavy; it’s uncomfortable.”
Jiang Yan lowered his head and gently nibbled on her lips, as if savoring a sweet peach.
Nibbling, biting, and sucking.
Su He cupped his cheeks and pushed him away.
“What are you doing? Just because I can’t feel pain, you think you can bite me to death?” Su He said testily.
The man placed a hand under her neck and another on her body, restlessly exploring.
His voice turned raspy, “Then let me find another way to press against you—one that’ll definitely make you feel good.”
Su He: “…”
He didn’t wait for her reply; his lips descended once again.
This time was domineering yet infinitely tender.
Su He couldn’t withstand his teasing. After all this time together, he knew every sensitive spot on her body.
It didn’t take long before she surrendered.
She felt like she was standing on a yacht, being pounded by waves again and again, shaky and unsteady.
“…”
Afterward.
She was so exhausted she barely had the strength to move.
Yet the man grabbed a pillow, effortlessly propped her body up, and placed it under her hips.
“What are you up to?”
Su He looked at him, puzzled.
Sweat beaded across his forehead, and his deep eyes were filled with gentle affection.
“Just lie like this for fifteen minutes, then I’ll carry you to take a bath.”
He continued, “They say this posture increases the chances of conception right after.”
Su He: “Where did you hear that?”
Jiang Yan: “I looked it up myself.”
Su He suddenly laughed, “President Jiang really worked hard, personally researching this.”
Her skin was as white as snow, and every mark left on her was strikingly visible.
Right now, every inch of her skin bore his exclusive imprint.
“It’s not hard; just a quick internet search.” He replied.
Su He stared at him, suddenly remembering that she had done a health check-up at the hospital about a week ago and had the results.
She hadn’t yet told him what the report said.
“What’s wrong? Do you have something to say?”
One look from her, and he could tell what she wanted to do.
She bit her lip lightly, saying, “A while ago, I went to the hospital for a health check.”
“Hmm, and?”
“Maybe because of some issues left behind after giving birth to Su Baobao. Now my chances of getting pregnant are pretty low. In simple words, conceiving has become difficult.”
When Jiang Yan heard this, he planted a kiss on her forehead.
He said, “We don’t need to have a second child. Let nature take its course. Beyond that, does your body feel any discomfort?”
This was his greater concern.
Su He shook her head, “No.”
He hadn’t been involved during her first pregnancy—a regret that lingered deep in his heart.
But fortunately, she and Su Baobao were now with him.
…
The next day.
DK Group President’s Office.
“Master, the Young Madam’s health report has arrived.”
Jiang Feng handed over the report.
The man paused his work, accepted it, and began flipping through it.
Jiang Yan reviewed it thoroughly. Just as she had said, all other health indicators were normal.
“You can leave now and focus on your work.”
“Understood.”
After Jiang Feng left the office, Jiang Yan pulled out his phone and made a call.
At the same time, in the Su Family courtyard, Old Mr. Su had his tai chi interrupted by the Housekeeper.
“Sir, it’s your son-in-law’s call. He says he wants to discuss something.”
Old Mr. Su reluctantly stopped.
Taking the phone from the Housekeeper, he answered, “Hello, Ah Yan, what’s the matter?”
Jiang Yan: “Grandfather, sorry to bother you.”
Old Mr. Su replied, “You’re not bothering me; this old man’s just lazing at home with nothing to do. What is it you want to talk about?”
Jiang Yan didn’t beat around the bush. He directly explained the purpose of his call.
After hearing him out, the elderly man remained silent for a moment.
Jiang Yan continued, “Grandfather, having a second child isn’t the priority. I’m more concerned about Su Su’s health. Will this affect her future well-being?”
Old Mr. Su was a renowned expert in traditional Chinese medicine; Jiang Yan hoped he could help nurse Su He’s health.
Old Mr. Su replied, “It won’t cause severe problems, but if her health isn’t properly attended to before conception, her pregnancy could be very difficult, and miscarriages would be highly probable.”
Jiang Yan understood what the old man was implying.
“Don’t rush. I’ll write up a prescription soon and have the medicine delivered to you. She should drink it twice a day. This kind of thing can’t be done hastily.”
“Got it. Thank you, Grandfather.”
Old Mr. Su said, “No need for thanks. Su Su is my granddaughter, after all. She’s a strong-willed girl; she tends to carry things on her own shoulders and never shares the bad news. Fortunately, now that she has you by her side, her grandmother and I can at least be at peace knowing she’s cared for. If we ever pass away, we can rest assured.”
From the time she secretly gave birth to Su Baobao without telling anyone, they knew how stubborn and resilient she was.
Jiang Yan: “Grandfather, you and Grandmother will live long and healthy lives.”
…
The old man wasted no time; by evening, the medicine was delivered to Moon Gift Villa.
It was even pre-boiled and ready to drink with just a bit of reheating.
After taking a shower, Su He left the bathroom and immediately smelled the unpleasant odor of Chinese medicine.
The room was filled with the smell, making her eyebrows furrow tightly.
Soon, she saw Jiang Yan sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, a bowl resting on the table in front of him.
When Jiang Yan saw her come out, he gestured for her to come over, “Come here.”
Su He didn’t approach. Instead, she stepped back two paces.
She frowned and said irritably, “Why did you bring the medicine into the room? If you want to drink it, drink it downstairs before coming up.”
After saying that, she walked toward the door.
“You can sleep alone tonight. I’ll go sleep in my son’s room.”
Jiang Yan stood up and strode toward her. Before she could open the door, he caught her arm.
“This is for you to drink,” he said, embracing her. “Be good and drink it.”
When Su He heard this, she froze, her body recoiling entirely.
She quickly shouted, “Wait a moment!”
She pushed her hands against his chest and stared at him incredulously, “Explain clearly—who is this for?”
Jiang Yan said, “For you. Grandfather prescribed it to help nurse your health.”
Su He asked, “You went to Grandfather?”
The man nodded.
Su He immediately became furious and glared at him, “Jiang Yan, you tricked me?!”
She hated taking medicine, especially Chinese medicine. She couldn’t bear the taste.
This was precisely why she hadn’t told the two elderly family members about her health issues. She knew if Grandfather found out, he’d insist she drink herbs. She didn’t want that.
Not to mention, she could prescribe her own medicine if she wanted.
But the man in front of her had gone behind her back and contacted her grandfather.
If she’d known, she wouldn’t have shared anything with him the night before.
“Be good. After you drink it, I’ll give you some candied dates. They’re ready and waiting.” He coaxed her gently.
She wasn’t going to comply; no amount of sweets would win her over.
“I won’t drink it!”
“It’s not as bitter as you imagine. Once you drink it, you’ll understand.”
“Do you think I’m a kid who’s easy to fool?”
Su He didn’t believe his nonsense. “Let me go. I’m going to sleep now. If you want to drink, you can drink it yourself.”
Then Jiang Yan wrapped his arms around her waist and effortlessly carried her.
Straight over to the sofa.
Su He clung to his neck, burying her face against it, deliberately avoiding looking.
Close to his ear, she whispered, “I said I won’t drink it.”
At this moment, her demeanor was exactly like a child refusing to eat a meal during a tantrum.
“Jiang Yan, don’t force my hand. You don’t want me to physically fight back.” Su He issued a warning.
The man chuckled softly, “Just gulp it down in one go, and that’ll be the end of it.”
Su He shook her head vigorously, “I don’t want to!”
“…”
Jiang Yan hadn’t expected her resistance to Chinese medicine to be this intense.
He couldn’t force the issue either.
“What do you want me to do so that you’ll drink it?”
Still, she shook her head. “I won’t, I won’t, I won’t.”
She repeated it three times.
Then, with a trace of a coy tone, she added, “It’s too bitter, and the smell is awful. I can’t swallow it.”
Jiang Yan held her close, leaning against the sofa’s backrest, with one arm around her waist and the other gently stroking her head.
He sighed softly and said, “Alright. You won’t have to drink it.”
Upon hearing that, Su He immediately raised her head to meet his gaze. “Really?”
“Really,” Jiang Yan replied, tucking her hair behind her ear. “The reason I want you to drink it is to help nurse your body. If you truly don’t want to, then let’s leave it be. At worst, I’ll just make sure we avoid conception or use protection.”
Su He: “…Huh?”
“Grandfather said if you’re not properly nursed before getting pregnant, you’ll endure a lot of suffering.”
Su He knew this herself.
But not everything is absolute; if she did end up pregnant, she’d naturally treat it with care.
She could sense his concern.
Her eyes drifted to the bowl of black medicine, and inside her mind, two little figures began an intense debate.
Drink it?
Or not?
Jiang Yan looked at the conflicted expression on her face and chuckled. “Alright, stop thinking about it. Didn’t you just say you’re sleepy? Let’s go to bed.”
Saying that, the man effortlessly lifted her into a princess-style carry, heading toward the bed.
“Wait.”
Su He stopped him.
Jiang Yan thought she was complaining about the smell, so he said, “Then we’ll sleep in the guest room tonight, and tomorrow we’ll have Uncle Zhong arrange for the room to be aired out.”
“Actually…I’ll drink it.”
She said.
The man’s eyebrows raised slightly. “Are you sure?”
Su He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Probably…yes.”
Her resistance had lessened somewhat, but she still wasn’t feeling enthusiastic.
No longer certain, Jiang Yan said, “Forget it. You shouldn’t force yourself. Let’s go to sleep.”
“I’m not forcing myself,” she replied.
“You’re not forcing yourself?” Jiang Yan confirmed.
“Not at all.”
Two minutes later.
Jiang Yan watched her pinch her nose, tilt her head back, and gulp the medicine down.
Then, her exquisite, fair face contorted into multiple exaggerated expressions.
In that moment, Su He felt her scalp tingle. That bitter and unpleasant flavor invaded both her senses of smell and taste.
Jiang Yan quickly handed her a candied date.
However, no matter how sweet it was, it couldn’t overcome the horrid bitterness in her stomach.
She had only one reaction—she wanted to throw up.
Covering her mouth, she bolted to the bathroom immediately.
“…”
Watching her dry-heave until her eyes turned red, Jiang Yan’s eyes were filled with nothing but distress.
“Alright, alright, we won’t bother with this tomorrow.”
