Xu Wan and her man had been separated for more than four years before finally meeting again.
It was through her repeated insistence that the two finally talked things out and got back together.
If the surgery were life-threatening, she would rather the man never stand up again than risk his life.
Even though the two of them were in the same space, he was holding her hand.
Even so, Jiang Tingzhou still felt that there was an empty space in his heart, and that his longing had not been filled.
He pulled the woman's hand slightly and said in a low voice, "Sit over here."
"Um?"
"Sit on my lap, and I'll tell you."
Jiang Tingzhou pulled the woman closer to him, noticing that she was looking at the driver in the front seat and pressing a button next to her to raise the partition.
As the partition slowly rose, the light in the entire rear space dimmed.
Xu Wan actually felt a little shy, but the man's attitude was clear: he wouldn't let go until she sat down next to him.
She had no choice but to sit down.
After the woman sat down, Jiang Tingzhou placed his hand on her leg before slowly speaking: "I have asked a team of experts to make a complete plan for me. There will be no danger to my life. However... if the surgery fails, I may not be able to have surgery again for ten years, and there is also a risk of lifelong paralysis. Even if the surgery is successful, the extent of recovery will depend on luck, and there is also a possibility that I will be limping for the rest of my life."
Jiang Tingzhou didn't hide anything from Xu Wan and gave him a brief summary of the whole situation.
Xu Wan breathed a slight sigh of relief, raised her hand to wrap around the man's neck, and kissed his cheek. "It's okay, it doesn't matter how well you recover. You worked too hard in the past few years, so I'll work less in the future and spend more time with you and Xiaoxiao. We've been apart for so long, and I want to make up for all that time."
"Wanwan, I respect whatever you do." Jiang Tingzhou lightly pecked the woman's lips. "But I don't want you to give up what you want to do for me, or I'll feel guilty."
Jiang Tingzhou understands Xu Wan.
She has always been strong-willed, and she was very interested when he mentioned that he was opening his own law firm.
The reason she suddenly wants to reduce her working hours and return to her family must be related to her.
Xu Wan rested her head against the man's face and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "I just want to tell you that taking care of you is not troublesome at all. Even if the surgery fails, you don't need to feel guilty."
When the woman finished speaking, the man didn't respond with thanks, but with a kiss on her lips.
The man's hands held her neck firmly, and he poured all his words into a kiss, his tongue lingering on her softness with tender emotions.

The temple we're going to visit today is located in the mountains on the northern outskirts of the city.
This place was booked by Jiang Tingzhou.
There are many temples around the north city, but this one is not the most famous.
Xu Wan had never been here before. Online guides said that the temple was on the top of a mountain and that visitors needed to walk up stairs or take a cable car to get there.
She had already planned to persuade the man to wait outside while she took the cable car up and came back quickly, but unexpectedly the car drove directly in through a small gate at the back of the mountain and all the way to a parking lot at the side gate of the temple.
Xu Wan got out of the car and looked at the side gate of the temple in front of her with some surprise, "Can we still drive up here?"
The driver laid out the ramp and pushed the man's wheelchair down.
"Yes, my father is a big believer in this. In the past, he would come here to burn the third incense stick every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Jiang Tingzhou moved the wheelchair to Xu Wan's side.
Although one person is sitting and the other is standing, the height difference is not much.
As Jiang Tingzhou reached out and took Xu Wan's hand, he heard the woman ask curiously, "Why is it the third incense stick?"
"Because there are other people who need to burn offerings up ahead." Jiang Tingzhou gently squeezed the woman's hand and said, "I heard this place is particularly effective, so I brought you here."
A master dressed in monk's robes came out to greet them and led the two to the front of the main hall.
Jiang Tingzhou was unable to kneel due to a leg injury, so Xu Wan knelt devoutly before the Buddha on his behalf and performed the kowtow.
After kneeling and bowing, Xu Wan pushed Jiang Tingzhou around the temple once more.
Perhaps because it was early morning, there were very few people in the temple, and the pleasant sounds of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers surrounded me.
At noon, the two stayed at the temple for a vegetarian meal before leaving.
On the way down the mountain, Xu Wan suggested that Jiang Tingzhou go and watch Xiao Xiao's dance class, repeatedly saying that there were many parents outside and Xiao Xiao would definitely not notice her.
The reason Jiang Tingzhou is unwilling to see Xiaoxiao now is simply because he doesn't want to look too embarrassed in front of his daughter.
Seeing that the man disagreed, Xu Wan said, "Xiaoxiao's dance class is three hours long. After I take Xiaoxiao to the classroom, will you come with me to have dinner?"
