Hearing this, Ye Mohan smiled faintly, "I knew Xue'er would be heartbroken, which is why I thought of keeping it from you."

Gong Yixue glared angrily at Ye Mohan and said, "If Lin Yi hadn't told me, how long were you planning to keep it from me!"

Lin Yi, “…” Madam, could you not betray me so quickly?

Ye Mohan smiled and said, "It won't be long. I'll tell you once I've fully recovered."

In the hospital's VIP ward.

Ye Mohan lay on the bed, while Gong Yixue sat on a chair beside him, feeling extremely distressed but still maintaining a stern face.

In fact, this kind of surgery does not require hospitalization; only two or three hours of postoperative observation are needed.

But Gong Yixue was worried and specially asked Ye Mohan to stay in the hospital for observation for a day.

Ye Mohan was originally planning to go to the company in the afternoon, but Gong Yixue directly asked Lin Yi to cancel all his schedules.

Lin Yi, having a hard life, went back to the company to carry bricks again.

At the hospital, Gong Yixue stayed to take care of Ye Mohan.

While she called it taking care of him, Gong Yixue was actually just staring blankly at Ye Mohan.

She was very angry at Ye Mohan for hurting her.

But then she thought about it again, and realized that everything Ye Mohan had done was because of her, and she felt very sad.

She had no reason to blame Ye Mohan, because he did it out of concern for her.

But if she were to forgive him immediately, she worried that Ye Mohan would become even more ruthless in the future.

So the atmosphere remained deadlocked.

Looking at Gong Yixue like this, Ye Mohan understood very well that it would be a long and arduous task to appease his wife.

Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Wife, my wound hurts."

Hearing this, Gong Yixue deliberately said, "It hurts? I hope it hurts to death! Who told you to be so capable, doing whatever you want without consulting me! Will I be the last to find out if you keep a mistress on the side?"

"I wouldn't dare! Wife, I don't want anyone but you in this life." Ye Mohan immediately pledged his loyalty, "I will definitely discuss anything with you first in the future, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Looking at the pitiful Ye Mohan, even though she knew he was faking it, she still felt sorry for him.

Gong Yixue was silent for a moment before saying, "Just this once."

Ye Mohan was overjoyed and said, "Yes, this is a one-time thing, there will never be a next time."

So that's how his wife likes him! Suddenly, he seemed to have stumbled upon a perfect way to please his wife.

Gong Yixue seemed to see right through his little schemes, and urged him, "If there's a next time, no matter how much you plead, it won't work!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan felt somewhat helpless.

That's how it was discovered.

Just when I thought I had found the perfect way to ask for forgiveness, it suddenly became useless.

Forget it, I'll just be a dutiful husband from now on.

Then, Gong Yixue asked, "Does the wound hurt a lot? Shall I call a doctor to take a look?"

Gong Yixue wasn't sure if Ye Mohan was really in pain or faking it, but just to be on the safe side, she asked anyway.

Hearing this, Ye Mohan smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's alright, it won't hurt if you forgive me."

Gong Yixue, "..."

Seeing Gong Yixue's expression, Ye Mohan added, "Actually, it hurts a little bit, but seeing Xue'er by my side, that pain can be ignored."

Gong Yixue was speechless, but considering that he was a patient, she didn't intend to argue with him.

"Okay, close your eyes and rest for a while."

Ye Mohan said, "You'll stay with me."

Gong Yixue: "Stop fooling around, this is a hospital."

Ye Mohan remained unyielding, saying, "I can't sleep without you."

In the end, Gong Yixue couldn't persuade Ye Mohan otherwise.

When the nurses made their rounds, they saw the two sleeping in each other's arms on the bed. They were so surprised that they covered their mouths and left.

Ye Mohan was a light sleeper, and although the nurse's movements were very gentle, they still woke him up.

When Ye Mohan woke up and looked at Gong Yixue in his arms, he felt extremely satisfied and happy.

He was willing to give everything for her, let alone this small surgery.

He would rather be the one to make the sacrifice than have her take the medicine.

It wasn't until evening, at Ye Mohan's insistence and after the doctor said he could be discharged, that Gong Yixue agreed to let him leave the hospital.

After all, they didn't intend to tell anyone about this; they just wanted to keep it to themselves.

Over the next few days, Ye Mohan went to work, and Gong Yixue, not worried, had no choice but to go with him.

It wasn't until I went to the hospital for a follow-up examination that they said there was no problem and I only needed to abstain from sex for a month to be able to go back to normal.

Ye Mohan felt incredibly wronged at the thought of not being able to eat meat for a month.

If Gong Yixue hadn't known, it might not have been so difficult for him to keep it from her.

Now that Gong Yixue knows, he suddenly feels like each day is an eternity.

Every night, Gong Yixue would deliberately seduce him, making him unable to resist her charms.

Ye Mohan complained, feeling wronged, "Wife, I want you."

Gong Yixue smiled deliberately, "Don't forget what the doctor said."

Ye Mohan, "..."

He immediately felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

If he had known that he would need to abstain from sex for a month before getting a tubal ligation, he definitely wouldn't have acted so impulsively.

...

One weekend day.

The two little ones went for their afternoon nap, and the family sat in the living room.

Gong Yixue looked at Gong Beize and asked, "Dad, why did you call us here?"

Gong Beize nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed something."

Gong Yixue: "What is it?"

“I spoke with your uncle yesterday, and we both agreed that we want you to return to country E.”

Gong Yixue was somewhat puzzled, "Go back?"

Gong Beize nodded, but before he could speak, Dongfang Tinglan spoke first.

"That's how it is, Xue'er. Because of Sweetheart's matter, the fact that you've been recognized by your ancestors hasn't been told to the outside world except for your own family."

Since there's still some time before your wedding, your parents thought we'd take advantage of this break to bring you back home and get things done. That way, no one in the capital will bring up your background anymore.

It just so happens that your aunt has had her second child. You missed her wedding, so this is a good opportunity to go back and visit her together.

The aunt that Dongfang Tinglan mentioned was Gong Yuanyuan. She married Chi Qiao two years ago and gave birth to a son in the same year.

Because of Sweetheart's situation, only Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize went back to attend her wedding.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue originally wanted to say that there was no need to go through all this trouble, and it didn't matter whether it was announced or not.

As for the people in the capital wanting to talk about her background, let them do what they want.

Anyway, she can't control what others say.

Of course, if she overheard it, that would be a different story.

However, upon hearing that Gong Yuanyuan was pregnant with her second child, she said, "Okay, Mom and Dad can arrange it. Mo Han and I are ready anytime."

Back then, it was understandable that she didn't attend the wedding, but now that Sweetheart has been found, she really has to go and see her, since she is also her father's relative.
