Chapter 362 After being discharged from the hospital, come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Tingxiao rushed out like a madman, with Sheng Weiwei and Qing Ning following closely behind.
Madam Sheng paced back and forth in the living room, looking completely lost. When she saw Sheng Chengjun coming down from upstairs, she immediately went to greet him.
"Old Sheng, what should we do? I heard that Xiao Li needs to have surgery, and she's going to lose her baby."
Sheng Chengjun frowned slightly. "Xiao'er will handle it. Don't worry about it here."
He had heard Shen Sheng mention before that Lin Xiaoli's left arm was seriously injured, and Xiao'er had spent ten million to order a special arm bone for her.
“That’s Xiao’er’s child, our Sheng family’s grandson. How can we just throw him away like that?” Madam Sheng raised her voice.
Whether she can give birth to a child of the Sheng family depends on her fortune. Besides, she hasn't even entered the Sheng family yet, so why are you in such a hurry?
Sheng Chengjun's tone was cold. He had spent the whole night explaining to the Si family about Lin Xiaoli's matter, but the Si family was relentless and said they would come over immediately to demand an explanation.
Getting Lin Xiaoli to join the family won't be so easy.
He is now in a dilemma.
"I don't care. Anyway, you go and find a way. My Sheng family's grandson must be saved."
Madam Sheng roared.
Sheng Chengjun sighed, "Go to the hospital first and see if there's anything we can do to help."
He also felt it was a pity if that child really died.
Sheng Tingxiao pushed open the ward door and rushed to the bedside.
When Lin Xiaoli saw him, she burst into tears and stretched out her intact right hand to hug his waist tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's alright." He soothed her head, then bent down and gently examined her limp left hand.
Sheng Weiwei followed her in and said softly:
"Xiao Li, don't worry, there will always be a way."
Lin Xiaoli cried even harder, looking at Sheng Tingxiao, "I don't want to sacrifice the child, I can't bear to. It was so hard to keep him, how did I have to meet such a useless mother like me?"
Sheng Tingxiao held her tightly in his arms and comforted her.
"Honey, it's important to save this hand, child. We'll have another one later."
Lin Xiaoli burst into tears, her whole body trembling with pain.
"No, why should I have to choose? I don't want to choose, I want my child."
Sheng Weiwei and Qing Ning's eyes both turned red.
Especially Sheng Weiwei, who has been a mother herself, fully understands this kind of heart-wrenching fear and pain.
"Don't cry, sweetie." Sheng Tingxiao coaxed gently, then suddenly cupped her face in his hands and spoke with utmost seriousness.
"Xiao Li, let's get married."
Lin Xiaoli froze, tears welling up in her eyes and clinging to her eyelashes, forgetting to fall.
"Marry me, and I will love you no matter what you become or whether we have children together."
He wanted to give her a promise, a guarantee that would put her mind at ease.
He heard from the doctor that her endometrium was very thin, and that it might be difficult for her to have children in the future.
But he was willing, willing to walk with her through life, regardless of whether they would have children in the future.
Lin Xiaoli shook her head.
"No."
She doesn't need promises obtained through pity at times like this.
Qingning walked over and said softly, "Let me see."
Sheng Tingxiao immediately moved aside.
Qingning gently lifted Lin Xiaoli's arm, her fingertips glowing with a faint blue light that slowly seeped into her skin.
She frowned slightly. "The bone is broken. Without bone support, the entire arm will be useless. If there is an arm bone, I can help her set it."
She paused, then added, "Without harming the child."
"Really?" Sheng Weiwei exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, there’s an arm bone.” Sheng Tingxiao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately turned and ran out.
Not long after, he rushed in carrying a small, high-end box. Inside the box was a small section of arm bone made of special materials.
"That's great." Qingning's eyes lit up as well.
"Sister Weiwei, could you please close the doors and windows for me?" Qingning instructed.
Sheng Weiwei quickly ran to lock the door, while Sheng Tingxiao swiftly closed the window and even drew the curtains tightly shut.
Qingning opened the box, took out the arm bone, and a red halo appeared on her right hand. The arm bone actually floated in mid-air.
The three people in the room stared in astonishment.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe such a thing exists in the world?
"Brother, hold your sister-in-law tight, it will hurt a little during the process," Qingning reminded him.
Without saying a word, Sheng Tingxiao pressed Lin Xiaoli's face into his arms, preventing her from seeing the bloody process that was about to unfold.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He gently stroked her head and whispered in her ear.
Qingning's other hand turned blue, conjuring a sharp ice blade out of thin air. It gently sliced open her clothes, revealing a pale, lifeless arm.
Then, she quickly cut a gash in Lin Xiaoli's arm, and blood slowly seeped out.
Lin Xiaoli's body trembled violently, and her whole body tensed up.
Qingning seized the opportunity and controlled the arm bone to quickly merge into it.
Then, she covered the wound with both hands, and red and blue light simultaneously seeped into Lin Xiaoli's arm.
She slowly closed her eyes, and a strange red light flowed through the room, causing the temperature to gradually rise.
She is using her abilities to help Lin Xiaoli repair her blood vessels and restore blood flow.
A detailed diagram of the arm's structure clearly appeared in her mind, and the broken blood vessels were reconnected and rebuilt under her control.
Sheng Weiwei covered her mouth in astonishment, feeling as if she were watching a top-notch sci-fi blockbuster.
Sheng Tingxiao was also shocked.
About ten minutes later, Qingning slowly opened her eyes. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she looked like she had used up a lot of energy.
When she slowly released her grip, the wounds that had been cut earlier had completely healed, leaving her skin smooth and without a single scar.
That's simply unscientific.
"Alright, sister-in-law, try moving around a bit." Qingning's voice carried a hint of weariness.
Lin Xiaoli felt the excruciating pain in her left arm had subsided, but she was still apprehensive about lifting it up.
"Don't be afraid, give it a try."
Sheng Tingxiao gently supported her left arm with his large hand, giving her strength.
When his arms were raised to chest level, he released them, but his hands remained loosely spread out below, ready to catch her at any moment.
Lin Xiaoli mustered her courage and slowly raised her hand above her head, gently shaking it.
With internal support in my arm, my whole hand felt stronger, and it didn't hurt at all, just like I hadn't been injured.
"I can move now, and it doesn't hurt at all!"
Lin Xiaoli exclaimed in surprise, then hugged Sheng Tingxiao's waist with her newly healed left arm.
"My hand is healed, I can move it again, and I can hold you again!"
Her eyes welled up with tears.
"Qingning, you're simply my god!" Sheng Weiwei excitedly rushed over and hugged Qingning.
"It will take at least another month for this arm to fully heal. But for now, you can move around freely, as long as you don't lift heavy objects."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoli nodded frantically, tears welling up in her eyes again. "Sheng Tingxiao, my arm can move again, and my baby is still here. That's wonderful."
She raised her arm again and tried, feeling like she was dreaming.
"Yes, the child is still there." Sheng Tingxiao breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
He looked at Qingning with unprecedented sincerity in his eyes, "Qingning, thank you."
This was the first time he had ever witnessed the power of superpowers firsthand; it was truly amazing.
He finally understood in detail just how incredible the abilities of the woman codenamed "Helis" in Venom's mouth truly were.
She can teleport and has this ability to repair herself.
Qingning smiled and said, "My sister-in-law was injured because of me. I'm just repaying her favor."
Lin Xiaoli looked up at her with her reddened eyes and asked, "Have we met before?"
How come she has no recollection of this at all?
Qingning smiled and said, "You've eaten the six beef skewers I grilled."
Lin Xiaoli's eyes widened. "You're Jiang Cheng? You can change your gender? Then can you turn me into a man?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Sheng Tingxiao let out a loud roar.
What do you want to do?
Lin Xiaoli immediately wilted and shrank her neck, "I...I was just asking casually."
"Asking won't work either." Sheng Tingxiao's handsome face was so dark it could drip ink.
Qingning and Sheng Weiwei couldn't help but laugh.
Qingning overexerted herself today and is quite weak. She will need at least three months of rest to recover her strength.
Seeing their happy faces, she felt it was all worth it.
Suddenly, Huo Shenyuan's image appeared in her mind.
She really missed him.
I really want to!
I don't know where he is now.
Ningcheng, Fanxing Hotel.
In the presidential suite on the top floor, the curtains were drawn tightly, leaving only a dim light.
Huo Shenyuan sat in the darkness, wearing a cold silver mask that completely isolated himself from the world.
This is the room he and Qingning used to live in.
Now, he is all alone.
Assistant Xia Dong stood beside him, watching him stare at the plate without touching his chopsticks, his heart clenching with anxiety.
Boss, you need to pull yourself together! If this keeps up, you're going to become depressed.
Just as he was pacing anxiously, his cell phone in his pocket started buzzing.
Caller ID: Mr. Fu.
Xia Dong, as if grasping at a lifeline, quickly grabbed his phone and walked to Huo Shenyuan's side, speaking in a very low voice.
"Mr. Huo, Mr. Fu is calling. Will you... answer it?"
Huo Shenyuan did not move.
A few seconds later, he slowly raised his hand.
He was wearing a heavy black glove on his hand as he took the phone and held it to his ear.
On the other end of the phone, Fu Beichen's voice was forceful, leaving no room for negotiation.
"I'll be in Ningcheng this afternoon. Wait for me, I'll bring you something."
Huo Shenyuan's Adam's apple bobbed.
"good."
He managed to squeeze out just that one word.
Fu Beichen hung up the phone decisively.
He gripped his phone, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
There was a knock on the office door, and Chen Sen walked in carrying a cup of hand-drip coffee, immediately spotting his boss's gloomy face.
"Mr. Fu, are you worried about the wedding? Don't worry, the construction team has already arrived on the island and started work. Assistant Lin is personally overseeing things there, ensuring everything goes smoothly."
Chen Sen patted his chest and assured him.
"We must give you and your wife a wedding of the century, a truly grand affair!"
Fu Beichen remained frowning, unable to suppress his inner turmoil.
"The wedding is fine. The problem is with the best man."
Chen Sen's heart skipped a beat.
Who else could be Mr. Fu's best man?
Young Master Huo!
"Come with me to Ningcheng this afternoon," Fu Beichen ordered.
"Okay," Chen Sen immediately agreed.
Central Hospital.
The morning sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow on the garden.
Sheng Tingxiao had just finished feeding Lin Xiaoli breakfast and was accompanying her for a walk downstairs to enjoy the sun.
The doctor said she can get out of bed today and move around a bit.
He took off his black overcoat and carefully draped it over Lin Xiaoli's thin shoulders, wrapping her up tightly.
The man was tall and imposing, with a face so handsome it was almost unbelievable; just standing there, he became the center of attention.
The nurses passing by couldn't help but glance this way, their eyes sparkling.
Some of the bolder ones even secretly took out their phones and snapped a few pictures.
"Tingxiao, thank you." Lin Xiaoli looked up at the man beside her.
Sunlight fell on his sharply defined profile, making him look unreal.
Her face showed relief and reliance after surviving the ordeal.
If it weren't for him, she would probably be a pile of pieces by now.
"Just thank me with words?"
Sheng Tingxiao stopped and looked down at her, his eyes burning with intense seriousness.
"If you want to thank me, come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau after you are discharged from the hospital."
Lin Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat.
She bit her lip, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, "I hope our marriage can receive everyone's blessings."
The "everyone" she referred to was naturally Chairman Sheng and his wife.
Sheng Tingxiao saw through her worries.
He reached out his hands, gripped her shoulders, and forced her to look him in the eye, speaking each word with utmost seriousness.
"Xiao Li, listen carefully."
"No matter what happens in the future, I will stand in front of you and clear the way for you. Just don't push me away again."
The man's deep eyes held an intense, unyielding affection.
After saying that, he slowly moved his head closer to her, wanting to kiss her.
"Xiao Li." A sharp yet familiar female voice interrupted without warning.
It was Lin's mother.
Lin Xiaoli's body reacted faster than her brain; it was almost a conditioned reflex. She suddenly pushed Sheng Tingxiao away from her.
Caught off guard, Sheng Tingxiao took a step back.
His handsome face immediately darkened...
