Chapter 1791: No Being Curious About Other Men

~7 min read 1,342 words

Such a gaze made Xie Wanyi feel somewhat guilty.

He gave a light cough and began to explain himself first: "Wei Yangyang was the one who wanted to leave; I didn't do anything."

This explanation was a bit like saying "there is no buried treasure here."

If Jiang Motian were to think about it a little more, she would be able to sense that something was wrong.

But...

Jiang Motian did not think too much about it; instead, she pursed her lips into a smile and offered a suggestion: "If you won't let me accompany Yangyang to her blind date alone, then how about we go together?"

When Jiang Motian spoke, she smiled very sweetly.

It seemed she wanted to use her smile to capture Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi naturally had no resistance to such a smile.

But he did not understand: "Why would we go? To watch the show?"

"You could say it's watching the show, but more importantly, I am curious about that man."

Just as Jiang Motian finished speaking, she felt the fingers on her shoulder tighten a little.

It was obvious that Xie Wanyi minded what she had just said.

The look he gave Jiang Motian even carried a hint of a threat.

Jiang Motian knew that Xie Wanyi was telling her to organize her words and say it all over again.

If she said it well, he wouldn't hold it against her.

If she didn't say it well...

What could he even do to her?

Jiang Motian lifted her chin slightly and asked with a bit of provocation: "Are you really jealous?"

"You are curious about another man, shouldn't I be jealous?"

"Well, we can talk things over properly; I didn't expect you to resort to physical force. You're really overbearing."

After she finished speaking, Jiang Motian only felt her body being pressed by someone.

Then she was pulled into a broad chest.

Because he pulled her in quite hard, Jiang Motian's nose even hurt!

Before the pain had subsided, a cold voice came from above her head: "I can be even more overbearing. Do you

want to experience it?"

This...

Better forget it.

Jiang Motian was worried her small frame couldn't take it!

With her slightly reddened nose, she looked up and explained: "I am curious about the man Yangyang chose because he has a bit of my brother's flair."

Her brother's flair?

Li Xingyan...

Xie Wanyi was silent for a moment, then laughed in spite of himself.

"Hey, don't just laugh; do you agree or not?"

With the crisis averted, Xie Wanyi released Jiang Motian.

Then he said dotingly: "Fine, wherever they go for their blind date, we'll go there for a date."

"It's a deal, no going back on your word!"

"Rest assured, I will never go back on my word."

Having received this promise, Jiang Motian smiled again.

Afterward, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Xie Wanyi on the face.

That kiss was fleeting.

It was very brief.

Xie Wanyi did not like it.

He leaned down, preparing to exchange it for a long, lingering kiss.

But before he could take action, his phone rang.

It was... the notification sound for a memo.

Xie Wanyi would remember even without looking at the memo that he had to go to the Hospital today; Aunt Xin'ai was going to help him with a check-up...

Thinking of this, Xie Wanyi's heart sank slightly.

Jiang Motian noticed the change in Xie Wanyi and asked: "What's wrong?"

Xie Wanyi immediately returned to normal and said: "There's something at the company; I have to go back first."

"Alright. By the way, if you feel that work is tiring, take a break for a while."

Jiang Motian thought the gloom in Xie Wanyi's eyes just now was because he didn't want to work.

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi did not correct her; he just smiled and replied: "Mm, you too."

Ruffling Jiang Motian's hair, Xie Wanyi left the Art Studio.

By the time he arrived at the Hospital, Liu Xin'ai was already waiting in her

office.

However, Liu Xin'ai was not in a hurry to give him a check-up; instead, she took out a stack of documents.

Not long ago, Xie Wanyi had already handed over the data he obtained from Ling Yu to Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai treated it like a treasure and began studying it day and night.

Now, she finally had some results!

At this moment, she took out a brain CT scan and gently tapped a spot on it.

Then she said, "We can basically confirm that the location of the Chip is here. According to the data you provided, its diameter is about three millimeters. Because it is intertwined with body tissue, it has currently grown to six millimeters."

Xie Wanyi took a look.

Based on his experience and keen eyes...

He did not detect anything there.

But he did not ask further, only verifying, "Does this mean that surgery can be performed?"

Liu Xin'ai's breathing hitched.

Then she said with a heavy expression, "Theoretically, it is possible, but this location is too dangerous; if something goes wrong, it will cause irreversible damage to your brain! Even if the surgery is successful, it may cause sequelae!"

So, if he doesn't have the surgery, he will die, and if he has the surgery, he might be permanently disabled?

This outcome made Xie Wanyi sigh, "The person who implanted the Chip in me probably never intended for me to live a good life."

Liu Xin'ai thought so too.

But this topic was too cold, and she did not have the heart to say it directly.

In the silence, Xie Wanyi spoke, "I want to have the surgery; I can bear the consequences."

Can bear the consequences?

Does this young man really know how cruel the reality will be?

That is not just a light sentence that can be dismissed once spoken!

In the days to come, he might very well have to live

in endless despair!

Liu Xin'ai could not help but frown.

And steeling her heart, she gave a warning, "You may go blind, you may lose the ability to speak, and it is also possible that some part of your body will no longer be controlled by your brain!"

Liu Xin'ai hoped that Xie Wanyi could make a cautious decision.

Who would have thought that Xie Wanyi would say quite calmly, "If that is truly the case, then it is my fate, and I accept it."

"You... sigh!"

Liu Xin'ai originally wanted to refute Xie Wanyi and have him reconsider.

But how could she bring herself to persuade him?

No surgery?

That is a dead end!

And if there is surgery, even if the process is extremely dangerous, at least there is a glimmer of hope.

If Liu Xin'ai were Xie Wanyi, she would probably choose the surgery too.

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai sighed powerlessly.

Hearing this sigh, Xie Wanyi spoke to comfort her, "You are helping me; there is no need to have any psychological burden."

His comfort made Liu Xin'ai smile bitterly.

Then she said, "I am a doctor; I should be the one comforting you. How have the roles reversed now?"

"Because you are soft-hearted."

Yes, Liu Xin'ai was indeed soft-hearted.

As a doctor, upon receiving a patient's affirmative answer, one would arrange the surgery.

But Liu Xin'ai?

She felt heartache for Xie Wanyi's plight.

She even involuntarily put herself in his shoes.

It was truly a struggle no matter how she thought about it.

Looking at the person involved...

He was truly calm and unruffled.

Such a reaction made Liu Xin'ai unable to help but ask, "You child, are you not afraid at all?"

"How could I not be afraid, but I want to control myself even more, even if the price is death!"

Xie Wanyi's choice was a desperate gamble.

It also made Liu Xin'ai's brows knit tightly.

But this time, Liu Xin'ai did not say anything else,

she decided to respect Xie Wanyi's choice.

As for the surgery...
