"Chen Ma, don't you understand? It's not that I want to break them up. Tianyi and I think the same way. We have more important things to do. Tianyi doesn't want to involve Miss Gu any further; it's for her own good."
Chen Ma stared at Xiao Anjing and asked, "What important things? What else does the young master want to do? The Qin family has already collapsed, and he has avenged the eldest young lady. What else does he need to do? Isn't the most important thing now to live a normal life..."
Xiao Anjing interrupted Chen Ma, saying, "How many eyes are watching us? The Qin family has collapsed, but we still haven't gained absolute control over everything. We can't afford to relax even a little at this moment!"
"It must be so tiring for you to continue like this!" Chen Ma said incomprehensibly. "If the eldest young lady is in heaven, she would definitely want the young master to live a normal life."
Xiao Anjing was also helpless. He patted her shoulder and said, "When I chose this path with him, we couldn't turn back. We can only keep going. It's like a tightrope walker on a cliff; can they afford to be distracted?"
Chen Ma sat on the nearby bench, looking dejected. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Then does the young master really intend to marry Miss Shu?"
Xiao Anjing nodded. "I wish Miss Shu Yan liked me. I have no regrets anyway, but unfortunately, it's not the case."
Chen Ma said to him earnestly, "Whoever among you treats marriage as a transaction will regret it in the end."
Xiao Anjing didn't know what to say for a moment and stood quietly outside the ward without a sound.
Inside the ward, Gu Susu stayed by Qin Tianyi's side, who was still under the effects of the anesthetic, tightly holding one of his hands.
His short hair was messily stuck to his forehead, and his face was still a little pale.
Gu Susu used her fingers to smooth his hair and whispered in his ear, "Thank you, thank you for saving Xiao Xingxing, thank you for being willing to let me go... I will take good care of the child and live the free life I want. You must also take care of yourself."
As she spoke, she realized her tears were falling onto Qin Tianyi's face, and she didn't know why she was crying.
She wiped away her tears and continued to bid him farewell, saying, "I'm leaving. I won't come back after I leave here. I know I can't help you with anything, nor will I hinder you and Miss Shu. I sincerely wish you both... well in the future, you must be well..."
"Miss Shu! Miss Shu!" Xiao Anjing tried to stop Shu Yan, who had suddenly come to visit Qin Tianyi, but he couldn't!
Shu Yan pushed him aside and kicked open the ward door.
The more Xiao Anjing acted this way, the more suspicious she felt. She had wanted to come to the hospital for the past few days, but Qin Tianyi always made excuses to stop her.
However, the thought of Gu Susu being Qin Tianyi's caregiver made her restless, and she couldn't bear it any longer today, so she came.
Indeed, as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Gu Susu holding Tianyi's hand while he was asleep, almost pressing her entire face against his.
"What are you doing?" Shu Yan asked aggressively and yanked Gu Susu away from the bedside.
"Miss Shu, you've misunderstood. Tianyi, he..."
"Is Tianyi someone you can call?" Shu Yan interrupted her and raised her hand to strike.
Gu Susu reacted extremely quickly, reaching out to block the slap, "He just had surgery. I don't want to argue with you in the ward. Please be quiet."
Shu Yan withdrew her hand, extremely surprised. She didn't understand why Qin Tianyi had surgery; she knew nothing about it.
But she couldn't appear ignorant in front of Gu Susu, so she said haughtily, "So what? You're just a caregiver now. Since Tianyi had surgery, you should be taking good care of him, not taking the opportunity to touch his hands and face. You are too shameless. Usually, it's men who take advantage of women, not women like you taking advantage of men!"
"I didn't, I was just... with him... with him..." Gu Susu felt that she couldn't explain clearly, and the more she spoke, the more it sounded like the truth.
Shu Yan felt that she was right. This woman just wanted to take advantage of Tianyi. She sneered, "You still want to deny it? No wonder Tianyi doesn't want you. A lowly woman like you must make Tianyi sick just looking at you, and you even want to use the child to gain sympathy! You've harmed Tianyi like this and still have the nerve to stay by his side."
"Miss Shu, I was the one who asked Miss Gu to come. Please don't speak so harshly," Chen Ma said as she entered the ward, protecting Gu Susu.
Shu Yan glanced at Chen Ma disdainfully and said, "You are not qualified to speak to me either. All of you, get out! Tianyi is my fiancé, and I can take care of him."
Chen Ma retorted, "But you don't know how to take care of patients at all..."
"That's none of your business! I can learn. Get out! All of you, get out!" Shu Yan threw a tantrum.
Gu Susu didn't want to continue arguing with her and affect Qin Tianyi's rest.
She tugged at Chen Ma's clothes and said, "Let's go out. There shouldn't be too many people in the ward; the air isn't good."
Chen Ma nodded and didn't want to deal with Shu Yan anymore.
As Gu Susu left the ward, she couldn't help but glance at Qin Tianyi again and instructed Shu Yan, "Because anesthesia was used during the surgery, he's still under anesthesia and hasn't woken up. You can use a cotton swab dipped in water to moisten his lips, so his lips won't be too dry when he wakes up. Also, help him wipe his face and hair..."
"I don't need you to tell me, I know all of this. Get out!" Shu Yan, before Gu Susu could finish, started shooing her away again.
Gu Susu had no choice but to walk out of the ward with Chen Ma, leaving Qin Tianyi, who was still under anesthesia, to Shu Yan alone.
As soon as they left, Shu Yan immediately closed the door and looked at the unconscious Qin Tianyi, feeling that this man now belonged entirely to her.
Her fingers glided over Qin Tianyi's cheeks and neck like playing a piano...
Even after the surgery, Qin Tianyi's features were still so perfect.
The man she wanted, she would definitely get!
From childhood to adulthood, she had never failed to get anything she wanted.
...
When Qin Tianyi woke up, he felt as if he had slept deeply.
He opened his eyes and saw Shu Yan in front of him. Looking around the ward and seeing no one else, he felt a moment of disorientation.
But he seemed to have heard Gu Susu's voice while he was under anesthesia, saying thank you repeatedly in his ear and talking about leaving.
Shu Yan was using a wet cotton swab to moisten his lips. Seeing that he had woken up, she quickly put down the swab and smiled at him, saying, "You're finally awake. How are you feeling? I'll call the doctor right away."
Qin Tianyi weakly reached out and tugged at Shu Yan, asking, "Why are you here? Have you been watching over me the whole time?"
Shu Yan looked at him and nodded, "Why didn't you notify me that you were having surgery? Fortunately, I wanted to see you today and came without contacting you."
"Oh." Qin Tianyi looked disappointed and then looked elsewhere, thinking it must have been his dream.
He hadn't told Gu Susu about this surgery either, so how could Gu Susu have come.
