After that day, Ruoning had no spare time to think about it anymore. She threw herself into even busier work, and Ren Shaochen's company had just gone public, which was the time to show off its talents.

They didn't have much time to meet each other, and it was early November in the blink of an eye.

Shen Rulan's surgery date has been set, and she was admitted to the hospital one day early.

That afternoon, Ruoning drove to the hospital and saw Qu Tao outside Shen Rulan's ward. She walked over quickly and said, "Why don't you go in?"

Qu Tao looked back at Ruoning and said, "I'm here for a re-examination. I stopped by to take a look. I'd rather not go in so as not to affect her mood."

What Shen Rulan needs most now is to keep her mood open and relaxed. Qu Tao knows this, so he only looks outside the ward. He has been married for more than 20 years and he is naturally worried that she is going to undergo such a major operation.

"Then I'll go in first." Ruoning glanced at Qu Tao, walked around him, opened the ward door and walked in.

I saw Xi Yunsheng in the ward, doing a routine check-up on Shen Rulan.

"How is my mother doing?" Ruoning put down the bag in her hand and asked Xi Yunsheng.

Xi Yunsheng put away the receiver, turned around and said to Ruoning: "Auntie is in good condition. The surgery is scheduled for three o'clock tomorrow. Eat something light at night, and you can't eat anymore after that."

"Okay, I understand." Ruoning sat down next to Shen Rulan.

After Xi Yunsheng explained the matter, he turned around and left the ward. Shen Rulan glanced at the ward door and said, "He must be outside."

"Have you seen dad?" Ruoning followed her gaze.

"He just stood outside for a long time." Shen Rulan's heart was like a mirror.

"He's afraid that coming in will affect your mood." Ruoning always has mixed emotions when talking about Qu Tao.

Shen Rulan sighed and said, "Actually, after living at this age, there is nothing I can't figure out."

Shen Rulan has experienced so many ups and downs in her life in the past three months. Some things are open to some things, but some are also down-to-earth.

"Mom, don't you hate him anymore?"

"Half of the people are about to enter the coffin, so why bother asking if you have any regrets?" Shen Rulan smiled softly and said with relief.

Ruoning stroked Shen Rulan's white hair on her temples and whispered: "Mom, you will definitely live a long life."

"Silly girl." Shen Rulan smiled, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were as deep as knife carvings.

Ruoning felt a little sad when she saw those fine lines. In just a few months, Shen Rulan had worried about too many things and she was much older than before.

"Don't inform Qingying about my surgery. It's not convenient for her to run around while pregnant." Shen Rulan thought of this and mentioned it to Ruoning.

Ruoning nodded, remembering that Qingying had been bleeding before, probably because of her travels. Now that she can be raised at Su's house without worrying about her, it is considered a help.

After staying with Shen Rulan for a while, Ruoning planned to go to the canteen to buy food. Then she stood up and Ren Shaochen came over, holding a thermal bag in her hand.

Ren Shaochen opened the thermal bag, took out the food inside, and said, "I think I can only eat something light today. It's better to make it at home and bring it over."

"You are so busy at work, how can you still think about these things?" Shen Rulan smiled, not dissatisfied with Ren Shaochen.

Ruoning raised her eyes to look at him and smiled.

They chatted with Shen Rulan until she wanted to rest at night, then they got up and left.

Ren Shaochen held Ruoning's hand and walked in the quiet corridor of the hospital. Xi Yunsheng happened to be getting off work and saw the two of them when he walked out of the office door.

He lowered his head and glanced at their clasped hands, his eyes darkened for a moment, and when he raised them again, he had returned to his normal appearance, smiled lightly at them, and said hello.

Ruoning was embarrassed to take her hand out of Ren Shaochen's palm, but Ren Shaochen held it tighter. Ruoning raised her head and glanced at Ren Shaochen, who greeted Xi Yunsheng calmly and calmly.

"I'll leave the surgery to you tomorrow." Ren Shaochen said politely.

There are two implications in this sentence. One is that he, Ruoning and Shen Rulan are a family, and the other is that Xi Yunsheng is just a doctor to their family and an outsider who needs to be thanked and entrusted. Just like this, The expression of closeness and distance is extremely clear.

Xi Yunsheng was not stupid, so he could naturally understand the meaning of Ren Shaochen's words. He just smiled and nodded. He didn't want to embarrass Ruoning.

The three of them left the hospital. After saying goodbye, they walked away with their backs to each other. After walking a few steps, Xi Yunsheng turned around and looked at the backs of Ren Shaochen and Ruoning walking side by side. Ruoning raised her head sideways and said something to Ren Shaochen with a smile on her face. With a smile.

Xi Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and turned around to leave.

The next day was Friday. Ruoning took half a day off and came to the hospital to accompany Shen Rulan during the surgery.

Although Xi Yunsheng explained the principle and difficulty of the operation to her, she was still nervous. After all, it was a major operation related to the heart, and any operation was risky.

"Aunt Shen is in very good condition, which will also be helpful for the surgery. Don't worry." Xi Yunsheng patted Ruoning's shoulder and comforted her.

"Yeah." Ruoning eased her nervousness.

"I'm going to prepare for the operation." When Xi Yun Sheng saw Ren Shaochen coming, he said to Ruoning and turned around and left the ward.

At a quarter past two in the afternoon, Shen Rulan was pushed into the operation.

Ruo Ning and Ren Shaochen stayed in the operating room. The heart stent surgery took at least two hours. These two long hours were torturous for the family.

When the time exceeded the estimated time for completion of the operation that Xi Yunsheng told her, Ruoning couldn't sit still on the bench. She frowned and said nervously: "There won't be any problems."

"This kind of surgery is occasionally delayed, so don't think too much about it yet." Ren Shaochen opened his mouth to comfort Ruoning.

Before he finished speaking, a nurse came out of the operating room quickly and said: "The patient is bleeding heavily and urgently needs a blood transfusion. There is not enough type O blood in the blood bank. Which of you has type O blood?"

"How could this happen?" Ruoning was anxious, but she had blood type A, while Ren Shaochen had blood type AB.

Qu Tao got off work and wanted to come over to see if Shen Rulan's surgery was completed. As soon as he came, he heard about Shen Rulan's surgery crisis. He walked over quickly and said, "I am type O."

Ruoning looked at Qu Tao. After hearing that his physical condition met the blood drawing requirements, the nurse immediately led him to draw blood. After a while, the nurse took the blood bag and walked quickly into the operating room.

Ruoning stayed outside the operating room while Ren Shaochen went to see Qu Tao.

Half an hour later, the operation was over. Xi Yun Sheng came out with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Ruoning asked anxiously, "How was the operation?"

Xi Yunsheng took off his mask and said: "The operation was successful. I will wake up when the anesthesia wears off at night."

Ruoning let out a long sigh of relief, her heartbeat, which had just been accelerated due to nervousness, slowly calmed down, and then went to the ward to see Shen Rulan.

Qu Tao finished drawing blood, rested for a while, and was supported by Ren Shaochen to Shen Rulan's ward.

"Thank you." Ruoning said to Qu Tao.

He was her biological father, but she thanked him because of her stepmother. Such closeness made Qu Tao suddenly reflect on whether he had been too harsh to Ruoning over the years.

"I'm going back first." Qu Tao said to Ruoning after watching Shen Rulan, then turned and walked out of the ward.
