Chapter 1549: The Other Person Might Be a Scoundrel

Although the surgery had already ended, Wang Sinian's heart jumped into his throat the moment he heard this.

Then he asked, "Why? Isn't it just removing a tumor?"

"It's not just that. A section of Xiao Xu's blood vessel is malformed and needs to be removed, then replaced with an artificial one; the process is quite complex."

Although the elderly person used only a few words to describe it, Liu Xin'ai could hear the danger of the surgery.

It was also thanks to the several experts safeguarding the process, otherwise Xu Xiaoxiao today...

Regardless, the result was good.

Xu Xiaoxiao had also escaped danger!

Liu Xin'ai let out a long breath.

The nurse at the scene saw so many people gathered outside and said, "The patient might not wake up until tomorrow. You don't all need to wait here; go back and rest."

Wang Sinian had no intention of leaving.

He wanted to wait for Xu Xiaoxiao.

But Elder Wang said to him, "Sinian, I'm tired. Take me home."

"But... oh, I understand."

Even if Wang Sinian was willful, he could not ignore his exhausted grandfather, so he left first with the old man.

Jiang Baobao knew everyone was tired, and there was no point in staying, so she suggested, "Knowing Xiao Xiao is fine, we can finally rest easy. Let's come back tomorrow."

The friends responded one after another and left in twos and threes.

However...

Jiang Chenghao returned after having left.

After the surgery, Xu Xiaoxiao had already been moved into a ward.

Because of the medication, she was still in a deep sleep, and she still had tubes inserted into her body.

Jiang Chenghao stood by the side, looking at Xu Xiaoxiao like this... his heart ached beyond measure!

From the time he met her until now, Jiang Chenghao always felt that Xu Xiaoxiao should be radiant and passionate.

Always full of vitality.

But how did she suddenly become so sickly like this?

And lying here so weakly?

Jiang Chenghao could not figure it out.

Also, Xu Xiaoxiao looked bold and had no reservations.

But when she was lying on the operating table, would she have been afraid?

She probably would have been.

She was a medical professional, but she was also an ordinary person; how could an ordinary person not be afraid when facing life and death?

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoxiao was still sleeping; once asleep, she didn't need to worry about the results of the surgery.

Once she finished a long dream, everything would get better.

Jiang Chenghao's fingers moved, and he took the initiative to hold Xu Xiaoxiao's hand.

He held it cautiously, and his movements were very gentle.

While looking down, Jiang Chenghao discovered that Xu Xiaoxiao's hand was slender and fair.

Although it wasn't very soft, it was very pretty and should be well-suited for playing the piano.

But this hand had quite a lot of strength, and the food she made... the taste was getting better and better.

Jiang Chenghao curled his lips unconsciously, and while holding this hand, he brought it to his lips.

However...

"Click," someone pushed the door open and walked in!

Jiang Chenghao did not expect anyone to enter at this time and was stunned for a moment.

The person at the door also did not expect anyone to be in the ward and was startled at first.

Once she saw clearly what this person was doing, her gaze suddenly became sharp.

"What are you doing!?"

Hearing this interrogation, Jiang Chenghao only then realized he was still holding Xu Xiaoxiao's hand!

Jiang Chenghao quickly let go and explained, "Um, I'm a friend of Xu Xiaoxiao. I came to see her."

"Are you really her friend?"

"Of course. I'll come again tomorrow. When Xiao Xiao wakes up, you can ask her."

Jiang Chenghao answered very candidly, and his eyes were also very gentle, which made the middle-aged woman opposite him slowly relax her vigilance, and she said, "Don't worry, I will be here to take care of Ms. Xu."

"Are you a caregiver?"

"Yes."

"Sorry for the trouble."

"Don't mention it."

As the words fell, the two looked at each other, and the scene... was a bit awkward.

Jiang Chenghao felt it wasn't appropriate for him to continue staying, so he stood up to leave.

However, before leaving, he looked back one more time.

That look was very affectionate.

It made the caregiver immediately reveal a gossiping expression.

When Xu Xiaoxiao woke up in a daze, she felt as if her body didn't even belong to her anymore!

That sensation was just like having one's soul deposited inside a piece of wood.

Her thoughts were completely unable to control her body.

Fortunately, there was a nursing aide by her side taking care of her.

The aide was very nimble in her movements and had a very cheerful personality.

It was just that she was a little... too fond of chatting.

Because Xu Xiaoxiao had no strength, she rarely spoke.

But this did not affect the aide's desire to communicate in the slightest.

She talked about everything from domestic trifles to bizarre patients and bizarre family members, and then on to current affairs news.

The content never repeated, and she was always full of enthusiasm.

As for Xu Xiaoxiao, she could only listen passively; by the end, she was even feeling drowsy.

"Oh my!"

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was half-asleep and half-awake, the aide suddenly shouted.

Although the commotion wasn't loud, it still gave Xu Xiaoxiao a start.

She lifted her eyes to look over, thinking the aide had burned herself.

But that wasn't it; the aide just slapped her thigh in annoyance and said, "There's something I should have told you as soon as you woke up, but I only just remembered!"

"What is it?"

"A man came to see you yesterday, and he was very handsome!"

A very handsome man?

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't guess who it was, so she asked, "What is his name?"

"This... I forgot to ask, and that gentleman didn't say, but he was very good-looking, like a jade tree in the wind."

The information was too sparse; Xu Xiaoxiao still couldn't guess who the other person was.

Seeing her confused expression, the aide added, "He even touched your hand and looked at you with such deep affection, as if you were his everything! Now, you should know who he is, right!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was even more confused; she said, "I don't know."

"Oh my, you don't even know this? Then you must have many lovers!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was completely helpless!

She had to remind her: "Does someone who performs intimate actions necessarily have to be a lover? Is it not possible that the person is a hooligan?"

"At first, I also suspected he had ulterior motives, but just think about it—how could there be such a handsome hooligan!"

The aide's values followed her aesthetic preferences, and she firmly believed that the man from yesterday was Xu Xiaoxiao's lover!

But Xu Xiaoxiao knew that while a normal handsome guy might not be willing to be a hooligan, there were many abnormal people in this world.

It just so happened that because of her profession, Xu Xiaoxiao had come into contact with many abnormal people.

She also knew that such people all had a dark side in their hearts.

Xu Xiaoxiao prepared to give the aide a few random examples.

But just at this moment, someone gently pushed the door open.

The aide looked up, and her eyes immediately lit up. She even pointed at the person at the door and shouted, "The hooligan is here!"

Her voice was a bit loud.

It was all heard by Jiang Chenghao!

Jiang Chenghao was stunned, feeling a bit at a loss.

The aide slapped her own mouth and corrected herself: "We didn't say you were a hooligan, don't overthink it!"

Although she said that, the aide patted Xu Xiaoxiao on the shoulder with her hand.

Then she used her eyes to hint to her: This is the man!

Xu Xiaoxiao did not speak.

Li Beijue's expression darkened in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
