No one knows how shocked he was when he learned that Xie Mingzhu was the girl from back then.
No one knows the anxiety he's felt these past few days since learning about this.
Xie Mingzhu pondered for a moment, then looked up and smiled, saying only one sentence—
Thank you for your appreciation.
"There are so many flowers in the garden, and many people appreciate them, but just because you like them doesn't mean you have to bring them home, right?"
"No one can predict what will happen in the future, but for now, I want to follow my heart."
Xie Mingzhu gave him a polite final smile, then turned and walked towards the children in the warm sunshine.
Sunlight refracted on the hospital's white floor tiles, scattering an unreal white halo.
Even her final smile and words of rejection seemed so unreal.
Gu Yanjun stood there in a daze for a long time before gradually coming back to his senses.
No matter how unreal it seemed to him, Xie Mingzhu had already rejected him.
Gu Yanjun lowered his eyes and smiled somewhat bleakly, letting out a long breath.
He had never been as nervous as he had been just now.
But this result was expected.
The profound sense of loss he felt was something he had never anticipated.
Time passed slowly, and after what seemed like an eternity, the operating room doors finally opened again.
The two doctors came out carrying three children, immediately attracting the attention of everyone outside the operating room.
The doctor smiled and was about to announce the good news to the family when Shu Ying was wheeled out.
Xie Zhiyan, who was waiting at the door, was the first to rush forward, gripping the railing of the mobile bed tightly with both hands.
The moment Xie Zhiyan saw Shu Ying's pale and haggard face, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Yingying, how are you feeling now? Is it in a lot of pain?"
Huang Meiling, Yang Wan, and Xie Mingzhu tenderly wiped away Shu Ying's sweat and held her hand affectionately.
Seeing Shu Ying covered in sweat and looking extremely exhausted, everyone felt extremely sorry for her and wanted to do something to ease her discomfort, but they were helpless.
Shu Wenyuan and Xie Wenyuan, the two fathers, bent over and looked at Shu Ying with great concern, but they were at a loss for words and asked her if she was thirsty or hungry.
Ye Zhanying was like a firecracker, feeling sorry for Shu Ying while making sarcastic remarks about Xie Zhiyan, blaming him for making Shu Ying like this.
"Oh dear, my little girl has really suffered, but thankfully this is the last time, so we won't have to suffer like this again."
"When you come back this time, Mom will spend a lot of time with you. I'll make whatever you want to eat, and I'll even make that brown sugar lotus seed porridge that you loved to eat when you were little, okay?"
"No, you didn't eat much this morning, and you've just given birth and you're exhausted. You definitely want to eat something."
Yang Wan slapped her thigh.
"Mom will go back and make it for you right now!"
Huang Meiling was also anxious and hurriedly wanted to follow.
"I'll cook too!"
Fortunately, Shuying underwent spinal anesthesia, so she could move her arm freely and speak.
She quickly pulled the two mothers aside, shaking her head with a smile.
"Mom, don't bother, I'm not hungry right now."
"Are you thirsty now? Shall I go and get the water you prepared?"
