Lin Zhaoyue has changed a lot from the young lady he remembered. Fang Leiluo felt that even though she had just given birth, she was still very attractive to him.

Her figure was slightly plump compared to before, but her face was well-maintained, fair, rosy, and radiant.

Jiang Jingzhou carefully protected her, and Lin Zhaoyue radiated happiness from head to toe.

"..." Perhaps Fang Leiluo's gaze was too direct, for Lin Zhaoyue seemed to sense something and looked up—

Fang Leilu forced a very strained smile. "You've given birth?"

Lin Zhaoyue softly hummed in agreement, "She gave birth."

"We've been out for so long, it's time for us to go back."

Jiang Jingzhou disliked the way Fang Leiluo looked at Lin Zhaoyue, but he couldn't gouge out Fang Leiluo's eyes.

Lin Zhaoyue turned to go back to the ward when Fang Leiluo asked again, "Captain Jiang, we were just exchanging a few words. You don't have to be so petty, do you?"

Or is it that,

Are you worried that if we talk too much, our old feelings might rekindle?

Jiang Jingzhou could tell from his words that he was deliberately provoking him!

Rekindling old flames?

Fang Leiluo overestimates himself!

Jiang Jingzhou didn't believe they had any past relationship.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Was it a boy or a girl?" Fang Leiluo continued to ask.

"I have both a son and a daughter," Lin Zhaoyue said.

Are they twins?

Fang Leiluo was even more envious at this moment.

If they hadn't separated, then the twins would have been his.

Now, he is the one who should be happy here.

Instead of waiting outside the operating room and using borrowed money to pay for Ren Zhaodi's surgery.

Fang Leilu forced a smile, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you," Lin Zhaoyue naturally reached out and took Jiang Jingzhou's arm, smiling gently, "To be honest, I should thank you too~"

Fang Leiluo's heart stirred slightly. Thank him?

"Thank me for what?"

Jiang Jingzhou, who was initially a little jealous, was immediately appeased by Lin Zhaoyue's actions.

“I believe that many things are preordained. The day we broke up at the state-run restaurant, I ran into Jingzhou.”

Lin Zhaoyue's words made Fang Leilu feel even more bitter.

He still thought Lin Zhaoyue wasn't serious that day.

If I had known she was serious, I might have tried to appease her.

Jiang Jingzhou wrapped his arm around Lin Zhaoyue's lower back, his tone indulgent, "The doctor said you really can't stand for so long. Your internal organs haven't returned to their proper place yet. Go back to your ward and lie down, okay?"

"good."

Lin Zhaoyue turned and went back to the ward without even glancing at Fang Leiluo.

The man stood there, staring blankly, until Lin Zhaoyue was completely out of sight.

"Are Ren Zhaodi's family members here? Who are her family members?"

"Yes," suddenly, a nurse rushed out of the operating room, her hands covered in blood. Fang Leiluo snapped back to reality. "What happened?"

"The patient's condition is extremely dangerous right now, with signs of massive bleeding. After careful consideration, we doctors have decided to remove the scalp to stop the bleeding, but she will be unable to have children in the future. If you agree, we will perform the surgery immediately. If you do not agree, the patient's life may be in danger!"

"What did you say?"

Fang Leilu stared at the nurse.

Isn't it just a simple minor surgery?

Why has it now become a life-threatening major surgery?

And what do you mean by "you can't have any more children in the future"?!

Although Fang Leiluo wanted to divorce Ren Zhaodi, he didn't want to put any mental pressure on himself.

It's true that Ren Zhaodi's miscarriage was her own fault, but it happened during their marriage, so how could he possibly file for divorce?

That's it, he's now completely tied to Ren Zhaodi for life!

Fang Leiluo's face was filled with despair.

"Please do everything you can to save her. She's so young; she can't be without children in the future!"

Fang Leiluo's voice trembled as he spoke, "Please do your best..."

“We doctors will definitely do our best, you need to make a decision quickly,” the nurse said anxiously. “If you waste time here, you might not even be able to save your life.”

Fang Leiluo: "..."

He heard the nurse say that he couldn't be saved.

I do have a tiny bit of "expectation".

If Ren Zhaodi dies, will this woman stop bothering him?

That actually saves a lot of trouble!

The nurse kept urging them on.

Fang Leilu nodded hesitantly, "Okay, let's save our lives first!"

"We should have said that a long time ago!" the nurse muttered under her breath, dissatisfied. It was such a waste of time.

What is the male lead doing here? He's hesitating between saving his life and keeping the child.

[This is a story about a man who's been cheating on his wife! The author's description says it's a sweet story, but where's the sweetness? The plot hasn't been sweet at all so far.]

[Exactly, they don't even have as much sweetness as the secondary couple~ Those other couples have loving and happy families, while they're still bickering here.]

[As expected, people are afraid of comparisons. Jiang Jingzhou resolutely chose to protect Lin Zhaoyue, but Fang Leiluo hesitated!]

[This male lead has character issues; I definitely like Jiang Jingzhou and Lin Zhaoyue~ I suggest the male and female leads be locked together from the start.]

[...]

Lin Zhaoyue learned from these comments why Fang Leiluo was at the hospital.

Ren Zhaodi's body has not recovered well since her last miscarriage, resulting in severe bleeding and making it impossible for her to become a mother again.

Lin Zhaoyue's eyes were indifferent; in her view, the two of them had only themselves to blame.

Fang Leiluo is an unreliable person by nature.

If she marries him, she is now facing a life-or-death decision.

"Mom, starting tomorrow, please stop making these greasy soups and sending them over. It makes me want to vomit, let alone Zhaoyue!"

Jiang Jingzhou "completed" the task assigned by his wife.

Lin Zhaoyue's thoughts returned, and she looked at her mother-in-law somewhat embarrassedly.

Hua Xiuyun's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them before she finally burst out laughing.

"Zhaoyue, if you don't want to drink, just tell me. I won't scold you. Why bother finding someone to relay your message?"

"It was my idea!" Jiang Jingzhou quickly took the blame upon himself!

Hua Xiuyun didn't believe it. "Since it's your idea, then there's no need to listen. The soup I made isn't for you to drink."

"Mom, I really don't want to drink anymore..." Lin Zhaoyue smiled awkwardly, "I want to eat some vegetables~"

"Alright, since it's my daughter-in-law's decision, I'll definitely do as she says!"

Hua Xiuyun affectionately handed her a steamed banana, saying, "Here, you need to eat fruit every day. You can't eat cold food while you're in postpartum confinement. Everything you eat must be hot!"

Steaming bananas brings out all their sweetness, making them incredibly delicious!

It tastes better than steamed apples.

After Lin Zhaoyue finished eating, Hua Xiuyun brought over the Five-Red Soup that she had specially cooked for her daughter-in-law, saying, "This is good stuff, you have to drink it every day!"

"Mom, I'm not breastfeeding anymore, so I don't need to eat so much."
