When Xiao Yiyi came out of the medical room, his face showed obvious signs of fatigue due to the long surgery.
The three little ones immediately slid off the chairs and gathered around Xiao Yiyi.
Su Lei opened his mouth, but didn't dare to ask.
Xiao Yiyi reached out and pinched his cheek. "Don't worry, your brother promised you that he wouldn't let anything happen to Qianqian."
After hearing Xiao Yiyi's words, the three little ones finally relaxed their tense expressions.
"Has Xixi woken up yet?" Su Xiaowu asked cautiously.
"Not so fast," Xiao Yiyi said. "Qianqian hit her head hard, causing excessive blood loss. In addition to the external injury, she also has internal bleeding. Although your brother has already removed the blood clot in her brain..."
But it will take some time before he wakes up.
Su Lei's nerves, which had just relaxed a little, tensed up again. His hands, hanging at his sides, were trembling slightly, and his voice was so hoarse that it sounded like it wasn't his own, "Second cousin, is Qianqian... still in danger?"
Generally, after such a major surgery, as long as the person is still unconscious, they cannot be considered out of danger.
Xiao Yiyi patted Su Lei's head. "In principle, Qianqian is not out of danger yet, but don't forget, your second cousin is still here!"
If my second cousin can't even save his own sister, isn't he ruining his own reputation?
"Thank you, Second Cousin." Su Lei said sincerely to Xiao Yiyi, "Second Cousin, you've worked so hard performing surgery on Qianqian for so long. You should go and rest first. I'll stay here and watch over Qianqian."
Xiao Yiyi hesitated for a moment, but he knew Su Lei's personality. This child was easygoing on the surface, but stubborn and obstinate at heart. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.
Moreover, in the current situation, even if you force him to sleep, he probably won't be able to.
So I had no choice but to agree.
Xiao Yiyi then realized that Su Yiqing and the others had not come.
Given how much the Su brothers dote on their sister, if they knew what had happened to Qianqian, they probably would have wished they could grow wings and fly over there.
The fact that they haven't arrived yet only means that they are completely unaware of this matter.
Xiao Yiyi's gaze swept over the three children. "You haven't told your older brothers about Qianqian yet?"
The three little ones lowered their heads with some guilt. "We didn't tell our brothers because we didn't want them to worry."
Xiao Yiyi frowned. "Did you answer their calls or video calls tonight?"
The three of them then realized what was happening and quickly took out their phones to check. They found that each of them had dozens of missed calls and a number of missed videos.
They quickly tried to call back.
Su Yiqing's cold voice, tinged with suppressed anger, came from the other end of the corridor, "Su Xiaowu, is this how you protect your sister?"
"Your sister is in such a terrible situation, and you can't even notify the family? Are you stupid, or do you think you're all grown up and can handle this?"
He was really angry today. Ever since he got home from get off work, he had been calling and video calling the four of them, but none of them answered.
At first, I thought they were just having a blast, so I wasn't nervous.
But even when it was their usual bedtime, no one answered the phone or returned his call.
He then worried that something might have happened, and just in case, he rushed over.
As soon as they entered the Qin family's gate, they heard servants discussing what had happened at the Qin family that day. After asking the servants, they learned that Su Qianqian had suffered such serious injuries that she was almost on the verge of death.
But none of the three little ones told him!
"I..." Su Xiaowu opened her mouth, but no words came out.
In the past, if a tyrant had started berating him without any explanation, he would have argued back fiercely. But now…
It was indeed his fault for not protecting Xixi.
Little Ruanruan lowered her head, "Big brother, it's not your fault, Ruanruan told you and Su Lei that she wouldn't tell you..."
Su Lei also stepped forward, "Big brother, I also told you not to let the little brother tell you, we don't want you to worry."
Su Yiqing felt a surge of anger, but had nowhere to vent it.
He could get angry and lose his temper with that heartless Su Xiaowu, but with Xiao Ruanruan and Su Lei...
Why!
He reached out and picked up the little girl, saying, "You've kept this from your big brother. What if something happens to Qianqian?"
You are still young. Your older brother doesn't need you to think about him. He just wants you to grow up well. His purpose is to be your protector, to shelter you from the wind and rain.
Perhaps it was Su Yiqing's arrival that put the three little ones at ease, because they all fell asleep soon after.
Even Su Lei, who tried so hard to pry open his eyelids, eventually fell asleep.
Xiao Yiyi put away the incense that his assistant had lit in the corner, and smiled, "The sleep-inducing and calming incense that Gu Chen made is quite effective; I almost fell asleep."
Su Yiqing glanced at it and asked, "Where did this incense come from?"
"I asked Gu Chen for it!" Xiao Yiyi said without any concealment, with a hint of admiration for Gu Chen in her tone. "That kid is quite generous. Before I even asked, he already understood and gave me all his stock."
Su Yiqing gave him a disdainful look, "He's after our precious little darling, he certainly won't be stingy with just a little bit of his fragrance for you."
"For these two to be together, it has to be mutual. What's the point of him coveting her? To our little Ruanruan, he's like an older brother to us," Xiao Yiyi said disdainfully.
He also advised Su Yiqing, "From now on, you shouldn't act like you're facing a formidable enemy every time you see Gu Chen. Xiao Ruanruan treats him like her own brother, so we should treat him like our own brother. I want to see if he'll have the nerve to lay a hand on his own sister in the future."
Su Yiqing glanced at Xiao Yiyi, and although she didn't say anything, her eyes clearly showed that she agreed with Xiao Yiyi's suggestion.
Xiao Yiyi and Shi Yu stayed behind to take care of Qianqian.
After settling the three children in, Su Yiqing turned to look at Madam Qin, her expression turning serious. "Madam, I think we need to have a serious talk about my sister's injury."
Old Madam Qin was still somewhat stunned as she stared at Su Yiqing's face.
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but no matter how she looked at Xiao Ruanruan and Su Xiaowu, or Su Yiqing, they all looked more and more like her daughter.
After regaining her senses, she nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Su, this way please."
