"Success..."

These three simple words made Shi Heng's eyes red in an instant.

He hugged Gu Youran into his arms, only to find that her surgical gown was completely soaked with sweat, and she was leaning against his chest almost exhausted.

Her fingertips were still trembling slightly, but her eyes were surprisingly bright, as if filled with starlight.

"You even saved grandma's heartbeat..."

Shi Heng's voice was extremely hoarse, as if he had been suppressing it for too long and finally found an outlet at this moment.

Gu Youran gently closed her eyes and said, "Grandma's heart... as long as she has regular checkups and cooperates with the treatment, there won't be any major problems for at least the next five years."

Dean Mike followed him out of the operating room and still had an expression of disbelief on his face when he took off his mask.

"The ejection fraction increased from 35% to 55%, which is a miracle in the entire history of cardiac surgery."

His eyes involuntarily fell on Gu Youran's hands, which were known as the "Right Hand of God".

Shi Zhengyang and Tao Nianwan's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Tao Nianwan's tears rolled down silently and were gently wiped away by her husband.

"It's okay..."

Shi Zhengyang whispered comforting words, but his hands were shaking slightly, revealing his inner fear.

At the end of the corridor, Shi Zhengfeng loosened his tie, and the back of his shirt was already soaked with cold sweat.

If his mother really got into trouble because of him, he would no longer have a place in the Shi family.

Su Manyun stood beside him, clenching the strap of her bag in her hand, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes.

She didn't care about the old man's life or death, she only cared about the secret - the thing that only old lady Shi knew.

She bit her lip as she watched the bed being pushed into the intensive care unit.

Shi Heng bent down and picked up Gu Youran horizontally.

"Don't……"

She protested softly, her voice like a kitten's whimper, so weak that it was heartbreaking.

Shi Heng lowered his head and rubbed her sweaty forehead with the tip of his nose, his voice so gentle that it could squeeze water out of her.

"My little ancestor, you're so tired but still not honest?"

Gu Youran twisted slightly in his arms, but he held her tighter.

Shi Heng deliberately leaned close to her ear, and his warm breath sprayed on her earlobe.

"If you move again, I'll kiss you in front of everyone."

Sure enough, the person in my arms immediately calmed down, but a hint of blush crept up the tips of her ears.

He carried her through the corridor, taking every step very steadily.

Gu Youran's surgical gown was still wet, and a few strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks.

Shi Heng couldn't help but lower his head and gently brushed away the strands of hair with his lips.

"What are you doing..."

Gu Youran trembled slightly at his sudden intimacy, and her voice was unnaturally soft.

Shi Heng chuckled, "My wife is so cute, how can I resist?"

The door of the VIP ward was gently closed, and Shi Heng carefully put Gu Youran down.

He put his long fingers on the laces of her surgical gown and wanted to help her change.

"I can do it myself..."

Gu Youran's ears turned slightly red, and she reached out to stop him, but Shi Heng grabbed her wrist and pressed it against his chest.

He leaned closer, his warm breath spraying on the side of her neck. "You're so tired that your fingers are shaking, and you're still trying to be brave?"

The laces of the surgical gown were untied inch by inch, and Shi Heng's fingertips lightly brushed across the skin around her waist.

Gu Youran's body trembled, and a light groan escaped from his throat.

"Tired here too?"

Shi Heng chuckled softly and deliberately used his fingertips to massage the small of his waist in circles.

Gu Youran bit her lower lip and glared at him, her moist eyes gleaming with tears.

Little did they know that this look would only make people want to bully them more.

Shi Heng's Adam's apple rolled, and he leaned over to whisper in her ear, his low voice carrying a dangerous tone.

"Wait until I get home..."

Warm lips brushed across the earlobe. "I want to check every inch to see if my little doctor is tired anywhere else..."

Gu Youran buried her face in his chest out of shame, but he forcefully lifted her chin.

Shi Heng stared at her flushed cheeks and gently stroked her lower lip with his thumb. "Now, be good and let me take care of you, okay?"

After changing into the hospital gown, Shi Heng poured a cup of warm water, tested the temperature himself first, and then helped her drink it slowly.

The warm water moistened his throat and Gu Youran squinted his eyes comfortably.

As she lay down, she drowsily grabbed the corner of Shi Heng's clothes, her voice thick with sleepiness.

"Accompany me..."

Just two words made Shi Heng's heart soften into a pool of spring water in an instant.

Without saying a word, he kicked off his leather shoes, climbed onto the bed, and held her in his arms.

"Go to sleep, my Youbao."

He patted her back gently, like coaxing a child, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here to protect you."

Gu Youran found a comfortable position in his arms, with her little face pressed against his chest, and gradually fell asleep listening to his strong heartbeat.

Shi Heng stared at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes so tender that they could pull out threads.

He couldn't help but place kiss after kiss on the top of her head.

His slender fingers gently traced her eyebrows and eyes.

Shi Heng secretly swore in his heart: In this life, the next life, and all the lives to come, he would hold this little woman in the palm of his hand and spoil her to the core.

…

Outside the corridor, Shi Zhengyang grabbed Shi Zhengfeng by the collar and pushed him hard against the wall, his eyes filled with long-suppressed anger.

"Do you know that you almost killed your mother?!"

His voice was very low, but it carried a chilling intimidating force.

Shi Zhengfeng's face was pale, and his Adam's apple rolled a few times but he couldn't make a sound.

“Brother…”

In the end, he could only shout out in embarrassment, like a child who had done something wrong.
