Chapter 140 Could it be Xiao Ansheng?
A few hours later, the lights in the operating room finally went out.
The doctor came out, took off his mask, and there was a hint of fatigue on his face.
"The operation was successful. The patient is no longer in danger of death and has been transferred to the intensive care unit."
The huge rock hanging above everyone's head fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Xue Min's legs went limp again, and this time, tears of joy streamed down her face.
She held Sang Wan's hand and looked at her bloodshot eyes and pale face, feeling heartbroken.
"Wanwan, go back with Tingzhou and get some rest."
"You're still pregnant, you can't bear it."
"We are here, as well as people from Tingzhou. Don't worry."
Sang Wan wanted to insist, but Lu Tingzhou helped her up from the chair without any explanation.
He nodded to Qi's parents: "Uncle, aunt, I'll take her back first."
"Song Ze will stay at the hospital and take care of everything."
A young man named Song Ze immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Mr. Qi, Mrs. Qi, if you need anything, please let me know."
Lu Tingzhou took Sang Wan away.
The heater in the car was on full blast.
Sang Wan leaned back in her chair, watching the street scene rapidly receding outside the window. The guilt and uneasiness in her heart still weighed heavily on her.
The work had just begun when this happened.
"Lu Tingzhou," she said softly, "over at the recording studio..."
"I've asked Bai Wei to explain." Lu Tingzhou looked ahead, his tone calm, "I will bear the losses caused."
"Don't think about anything now, just rest."
Sang Wan pursed her lips.
"I'm fine."
She turned her head and looked at him seriously.
"I can't keep putting it off."
"The New Year is coming soon. Teacher Xiao Yan has already given us a lot of cooperation. It would be inappropriate to delay it any further."
She knew that Lu Tingzhou wanted her to rest completely.
But she knew even more that even if she lay in bed now, she would only have random thoughts.
Work is actually the best distraction.
Lu Tingzhou glanced at her.
I saw the persistence and a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
He knew her temper.
She won't feel at ease even if she goes back.
The man was silent for a few seconds, then turned the steering wheel at the next intersection.
He finally compromised.
"good."
"I'll take you to the recording studio."
***
In the afternoon, we call it a day.
Sang Wan's condition was better than expected, and Xiao Yan's professionalism and consideration made the entire recording process very smooth.
"Would it be convenient for me to go and see your heroic assistant?"
Xiao Yan took off his monitoring headphones, raised his eyebrows and looked at Sang Wan, his tone pretending to be relaxed.
Even if he didn't say it, Sang Wan would have gone.
After leaving the recording studio, Xiao Yan naturally took Liu Xi's hand and followed Sang Wan to the hospital.
In the ward, Qi Qi has woken up.
The anesthetic effect had not yet completely worn off and her face was pale.
Seeing Sang Wan, she forced a smile, "Sister Wan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Sang Wan walked quickly to the bedside and held her hand. "How do you feel?"
"I won't die." Qi Qi grinned, and the wound was pulled, causing him to hiss in pain.
Only then did she see Xiao Yan following behind Sang Wan.
"Emperor Xiao?"
Xiao Yan smiled gently, "Don't get excited, it's not like I haven't seen it before. It's you who really impressed me. I didn't expect you to be so amazing."
Liu Xi came forward with the box of flowers and gifts, "He kept praising you after hearing about it."
Qi Qi smiled embarrassedly. Isn't it normal for her to protect her elder sister?
How come I seem like a hero?
Sang Wan held Qi Qi's hand, feeling distressed and grateful.
"Thanks to you today, otherwise I..."
Xiao Yan was afraid of the women crying among themselves, so he joked, "Sang Wan must have done good deeds in her past life to have an assistant like you."
He glanced at the assistant standing behind him and sighed half-jokingly.
"If something happens to me, this guy will probably run faster than anyone else."
The assistant looked innocent: "Brother Yan, I...I will call the police!"
With just one sentence, everyone in the room laughed and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.
Qi Qi was a little flattered and her face turned red. She never expected that the best actor and actress would come to see her, the little assistant, together.
Su Mo was peeling an apple on the side and said with a smile: "Our Qiqi is a workaholic."
Qi Qi's eyes fell on the fruit basket and a box of nuts that Liu Xi placed on the bedside table.
Changing the subject: "Sister Wan, take the nuts back and eat them. Eating more nuts is good for the baby."
Su Mo joked, "You're just worrying about nothing. Can Lu Tingzhou still do without her mouth?"
Liu Xi also agreed, "I didn't ask you to eat it now. Wait a few days and you'll have it as a snack."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Lu Tingzhou walked in, with the bodyguard behind him carrying two boxes of nutritional supplements.
He took in everyone's expressions, and his gaze finally fell on Sang Wan with a hint of doting.
He walked to the bedside naturally, reached out and rubbed Sang Wan's hair, and then said to Qi Qi: "She can't eat."
Apparently, he heard the conversation between several people.
Qi Qi was stunned: "Why?"
Lu Tingzhou's voice was soft, yet it revealed an unquestionable intimacy.
"She's allergic to cashews."
The ward was quiet for a moment.
The smile on Xiao Yan's face froze slightly.
He spoke subconsciously.
"What a coincidence."
"Me too."
Xiao Yan's ordinary words instantly exploded in Lu Tingzhou's mind.
His face remained expressionless, but the light in his eyes behind his lenses suddenly darkened.
In the afternoon, Lin Hao found out new information.
The donor of the dragon-shaped jade pendant was Xiao Yan.
Cashew allergy.
Jade pendant.
At this moment, two seemingly unrelated clues were suddenly connected by an invisible thread.
coincide?
Are there really so many coincidences in the world?
Lu Tingzhou's eyes swept back and forth between Xiao Yan and Sang Wan without any expression.
A thought, like a thunderbolt, split open all the fog in his mind.
Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Ansheng.
Xiao Ansheng is a classmate of his elder brother, and his elder brother knows Sang Jingchu. Does he also know Sang Jingchu?
even……
Lu Tingzhou's heart skipped a beat.
A speculation that even he himself found absurd, yet had a fatal appeal, was growing wildly in his mind.
Could Sang Wan’s biological father be Xiao Ansheng?
Lu Tingzhou's hand on Sang Wan's shoulder tightened unconsciously.
If it is really as he thought.
Then Sang Wan would no longer be the helpless orphan.
She is the daughter of the Xiao family.
This discovery shocked Lu Tingzhou more than finding out all the masterminds behind the scenes.
He looked at Sang Wan's blank eyes and suppressed all the surging emotions, turning them into a very faint, gentle smile on his lips.
"You two are really destined to be together."
His words did not leave any impression on the people, so no one delved into it.
It's just an allergy, nothing unusual.
***
It’s late at night.
Warm yellow light enveloped the two embracing figures.
Sang Wan curled up on the sofa, like a cat that had finally found its nest, absorbing the peaceful atmosphere that belonged only to him.
The fear and fatigue of the day all melted away at this moment.
Lu Tingzhou hugged her, resting his chin on her hair, feeling her even breathing.
He suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"There's something you might need to know."
Sang Wan said "Hmm?" and raised her eyelids lazily.
"Lu Tingfeng," Lu Tingzhou's voice was calm, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him, "He's with Xu Mingyue."
Sang Wan's brain froze for a second.
Lu Tingfeng?
Xu Mingyue?
How could these two people who have nothing in common...
She sat up straight suddenly, her eyes full of disbelief.
"And," Lu Tingzhou looked at her shocked expression and continued to drop the second bombshell, "She's pregnant."
Sang Wan was completely stunned.
Her stepsister Lu Jinxuan, who was bent on marrying into a rich family, was actually... pregnant with Lu Tingfeng's child?
What is this called?
A roundabout way to save the country?
She blinked, digesting this news that was like a fairy tale.
Thinking of Lu Jinxuan, Sang Wan was a little worried, "When will Jinxuan come back?"
Speaking of Lu Jinxuan, Lu Tingzhou let out a sigh, "He said before that he would come back for the New Year. Bai Wei is at the film company, so there's nothing important to do. Let him relax. He probably won't be sad if he knows about Xu Mingyue's situation. At most, he's just upset about the second brother's asshole behavior."
Sang Wan nodded, "I just think he's simple-minded, it's better for him not to know, but with Tang Qinlan's personality, I'm afraid I can't hide it."
"Ms. Tang...I'm afraid she's going to be furious this time."
At the beginning of the year, I fired a pregnant secretary with a sharp knife, and not long after that, another one came.
Or was it that Sun Meixi was preparing to be the wife arranged by Lu Jinxuan?
Lu Tingfeng's taste is really good, regardless of whether it is meat or vegetables.
"Xu Mingyue is courting death."
"Not necessarily," Lu Tingzhou said calmly, "The second brother will do everything he can to make her give birth to the child."
The smile on Sang Wan's face slowly faded.
She heard the deep meaning in his words.
"He wants to use the child to fight for the family fortune?"
"Yes." Lu Tingzhou did not deny it.
"The Lu family's pie is only so big. One more person means one more mouth to feed. Don't forget, in addition to the shares held by each of our branches, the old man still has quite a few."
"He has one more bargaining chip to use in his inheritance, so naturally, he won't be happy to see my child born safely."
Sang Wan's heart suddenly tightened.
She grabbed his arm and looked up at him, her eyes filled with undisguised worry.
"Lu Tingzhou, he is your second brother."
"you?"
Lu Tingzhou lowered his eyes and met her clear eyes.
He reached out and gently stroked her slightly furrowed brows with his fingertips.
"Wanwan."
"If I show mercy now, not only will I harm us, but I will also be watching him die."
His voice was deep, but clear.
"I must stop him before he makes an irreparable mistake."
These words sound cold, but they contain the deepest friendship and kindness.
Sang Wan understood.
She stopped talking and just leaned back into his arms, holding him tighter.
***
Silence fermented in the air.
After a long time, Lu Tingzhou spoke again, his tone was very light, as if he was just mentioning it casually.
"Wanwan, have you ever thought about finding your biological father?"
Sang Wan's body stiffened slightly.
Then, I relaxed again.
She buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled.
"No."
This answer simply surprised Lu Tingzhou.
"Why?"
