Chapter 22 She seems to be really worried about me

No matter who you are, most people will panic when facing illness.

Gu Junxing is the same. He read the report carefully several times before confirming that this is the fact.

"Mr. Gu, you don't have to worry too much. It's just a nodule at the moment. A small operation will do." The doctor comforted him. "Look, if there are no other problems, we will arrange for you to be hospitalized and have the operation. You'd better notify your family. Although it's not a particularly risky operation, you still need your family to accompany you."

"Okay, I got it, thank you." After hearing what the doctor said, Gu Junxing turned back into the calm Mr. Gu. At the same time, after being calm, Gu Junxing was a little lucky that he didn't delay the physical examination this time and found it before it became a big problem.

Because of this, when the doctor said he would call the family to come and accompany him, Gu Junxing called Nian Sui'an for some reason.

"Hello." After the call was connected, Gu Junxing touched his nose and realized that he seemed a little impulsive. In fact, he should call his assistant or housekeeper Su to directly hire a nurse for him. As for signing, for this minor operation, he can sign it himself.

"What's the matter? Why are you calling me?" Nian Sui'an was a little confused after the call was made and no one spoke for a long time.

"It's like this, my physical examination results are out. I need to have a minor operation, and the doctor said to notify my family. You know, I don't have other family members, and Zhijing is still a child himself. It's not appropriate for me to call him." Gu Junxing was a little embarrassed and explained to himself.

But Nian-shun An didn't hear the rest of the words clearly. She only heard "I need surgery." She has watched too many Korean dramas recently, and this sentence sounds like "I have a terminal illness" to her.

"What?! What disease? Can it be cured? Is it serious?" Nian-shun An was also worried. After all, the two of them were nominally married. They couldn't be considered lovers, but at least they were ordinary friends. If this friend was sick, she couldn't help but worry. What's more, she was counting on him to be healthy and live a long life so that the company could move to the next level.

Gu Junxing heard Nian Sui'an's voice change tone on the phone, and could tell that he was really worried about him. Although he knew that Nian Sui'an was worried about him not because he loved him, no matter what the reason was, he felt good that he had this concern.

"Don't worry too much. It's just a small nodule in the lung. The operation is also a very small operation. The hospital just needs to notify the routine. You know, even the appendicitis operation needs the signature of the family." Gu Junxing was obviously the patient, but now he became the one who comforted him. "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you for booking me a physical examination. Otherwise, I wouldn't have discovered it for a while. Thank you."

"Why are you talking about this at this time?" Nian Sui'an made an appointment for this physical examination just to express her gratitude. She didn't think of taking credit for it now. "When is your surgery? I'll go to the hospital soon. Do you need anything to bring you?"

"Fasting tonight, the surgery can be done tomorrow after the preoperative checkup. Ask the housekeeper to help me pack some clothes and bring them over. You don't have to come today, I won't get a good rest at night."

Niansuan didn't listen to him, "A physical check-up in a hospital that costs one hundred thousand, how can I not get a good rest?! You're lying, it's only right that I sleep in the dean's office. Don't worry about it, just get a good rest."

Gu Junxing was also amused by Niansuan, "Okay, then come over slowly."

Niansuan didn't hesitate. After hanging up the phone, he went to find housekeeper Su and asked him to pack his things. He spent another three minutes comforting housekeeper Su before going back to his room and packing some things for his overnight stay in the hospital.

After housekeeper Su packed up Gu Junxing's things, Niansui'an asked him to help pack up Gu Zhijing's things. She planned to pick up Gu Zhijing on the way to the hospital. How could his father not inform his son when he was having surgery? Gu Zhijing was not a child anymore. She used to hate the kind of people who said they didn't want their children to worry about their studies, and didn't tell their children when someone in the family was sick or even passed away. What was important about studying and taking exams was family.

Housekeeper Su was very capable at work, and they set out from home half an hour later.

"Housekeeper Su, please wait for us in the car. I'll go pick up Zhijing."

After the parents' meeting, this was the second time Nian Sui'an came to Gu Zhijing's school. The school didn't seem to have changed much. Nian Sui'an explained the reason and went in after registering at the gate.

After entering the school, Nian Sui'an didn't go directly to the classroom to look for someone. If she went directly to the classroom to call Zhijing away, the other students would not be in the mood to go to class. As students themselves, Nian Sui'an understood.

She asked the school security guard and went to the office of the first grade class teacher to find Cen Xi, Gu Zhijing's class teacher. She originally thought that if Cen Xi happened to be teaching, she would wait for a while, and there was no rush. Fortunately, Cen Xi was not in class, but was preparing lessons in the office.

"Ms. Nian, why are you here? Do you want to see Zhijing?" Cen Xi was surprised to see Nian Sui'an. Parents usually don't come to the school to see their children unless they have something to do.

Nian Sui'an didn't expect that after just one encounter, Teacher Cen still remembered her last name.

"Hello, Teacher Cen. I'm here today to ask for leave for Zhijing. His father needs a minor surgery, and I'm

here to pick him up and go to the hospital." "Is Mr. Gu okay? I'll go get Zhijing." Cen Xi said as she stood up immediately.

Nian Sui'an quickly grabbed her and said, "It's okay, it's just a minor surgery. I thought it made no sense for the child to be away while his father was having surgery. I'm not in a hurry, I can just call him after class. If I go now, I'll call Zhijing out directly, which will not only disturb other children in class, but also scare Zhijing himself."

"Okay, you've thought it through very carefully." Cen Xi looked at the clock in the office, "There's only ten minutes left before class is over, please wait a moment, I'll go call him after class." After that, she poured Nian Sui'an a cup of tea.

Nian Sui'an nodded and agreed. It would be better for Cen Xi to go find someone instead of her, because once she went there, other students would definitely discuss it.

Ten minutes is not a long time. Cen Xi sat down and chatted with Nian Sui'an. She didn't say anything else but talked about Gu Zhijing's study problems and his performance in school. Cen

Xi saw that it was almost time, so she said goodbye to Nian Sui'an and went to the classroom to find Gu Zhijing.

"Gu Zhijing, come to the office with me." When Cen Xi arrived, the class had just ended and Gu Zhijing was sitting in his seat, talking to his deskmate.

Everyone quieted down when they saw Cen Xi coming.

As soon as Cen Xi said this, Qu Zizhou teased Gu Zhijing: "What did you do wrong? Did you slack off and not do your homework?"

"Get lost." Gu Zhijing walked out while thinking about his recent performance. He was relieved when he was sure that he had not done anything against discipline.

"Teacher Cen, what can I do for you?"

Cen Xi saw that he was already far away from the classroom, and then answered him, "It's your mother. She came to see you about something."

"My mom, my mom is not in China... You mean my little mom?" Gu Zhijing had never called Nian Sui'an mom. Although in name, Nian Sui'an is indeed his mother now, but Nian Sui'an is too young for him to call her that. So when Cen Xi mentioned mom just now, his first reaction was his biological mother, but he immediately realized that it was impossible. His biological mother went to South America some time ago and said she was going to the primeval forest. She might be dancing with the indigenous people now. It is impossible for her to return to China.

The classroom is not far from the office, so Cen Xi didn't say anything else. When they arrived at the office, she didn't go in, leaving the space for the two of them. She also stood at the door and asked other teachers who came back from class not to go in yet, but to go to the office next door and sit for a few minutes.

"Why are you here? Have you figured out that you want to divorce my dad and take me away?" Gu Zhijing would never guess that his dad was sick. Who would think about their dad being sick for no reason? So he started to make fun of Nian Sui'an as soon as he saw him.

Nian Sui'an didn't waste any time and said directly: "Your dad is sick and needs a minor surgery. You come with me to see him. Don't worry, it's not a big surgery, it's a very small surgery, but I think we should accompany him even if it's a minor surgery, so I came to pick you up." Nian Sui'an was afraid of scaring Gu Zhijing, so he spoke very quickly and didn't dare to breathe heavily.

"Surgery? What's the matter!" Even though Nian Sui'an assured him that it was not a big deal, Gu Zhijing still changed his face.
