Chapter 1021: 1006, Jue and Zhan’s Couple Extra (5) Chapter 1021: 1006, Jue and Zhan’s Couple Extra (5) “What’s the big secret?” Zhan Mingyan asked with a laugh.

In the room, it was just the two of them, mother and daughter, so Lu Hui didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point, “Are you and Bai Jue dating?”

“Uh…”

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Zhan Mingyan’s eyes, wondering what was going on.

“Not denying it means you’re admitting it?” Lu Hui said with a gossiping twinkle in her eye.

Zhan Mingyan hemmed and hawed for a while, then admitted it.

Lu Hui’s eyes lit up, delighted, she slapped her thigh, “That’s great, I really thought you were going to end up as a golden leftover warrior.”

“…”

Zhan Mingyan rubbed her sore thigh, with black lines continuously falling from her head.

Golden leftover warrior?

She didn’t know when her mother became so trendy, even using such popular expressions.

“Your grandfather was worried today that you didn’t have a boyfriend, Yanyan, when will you bring someone back to show your dad and your grandpa?” Lu Hui asked.

“Mom, if you keep laughing, your crow’s feet are going to show,” Zhan Mingyan reminded the person in front of her who was joyfully out of bounds.

Lu Hui said, “As long as you get married soon, I’d be happy even with two more crow’s feet.”

“Anyway, it’s not time yet.” Zhan Mingyan yawned, pushing her, “I’m so sleepy, let’s talk tomorrow, let’s talk tomorrow.”

“Wait a minute, I haven’t finished talking yet.” Lu Hui resisted stopping, “I think Bai Jue is a good kid, any small conflicts between lovers can be resolved by talking it out.”

“I know, I know,” Zhan Mingyan fended off, “Mom, you should go get your beauty sleep, I’m going to sleep too.”

“Alright, alright, you child.”

After sending Lu Hui off, Zhan Mingyan felt completely relaxed.

She picked up the hairdryer, humming a little tune while she dried her hair.

The azure sky set against the light blue, a gentle breeze blew, and the white clouds gradually dispersed.

There was an urgent pace in the hallway.

“Mom, how is it going?”

As soon as Zhan Mingyan received the call, she rushed over from the flower shop, her breathing somewhat unsteady.

Lu Hui clasped her hands tightly, “It’s still unclear, the doctor hasn’t come out yet.”

“What happened, how could Grandpa suddenly faint?” Zhan Mingyan glanced at the operating room still lit with a red light, and asked with a grave face.

On the side, Elder Quan was also there, his face taut, “There was a meeting upstairs today, some arguments broke out, Old Zhan got too emotional, and just passed out.”

At that moment, the doctor came out, took off his mask, his face serious, “Sir Zhan had a stroke out of anger, there was quite a delay on the way, we need to proceed with surgery now.”

Zhan Mingyan knew this doctor, too; he was a senior from her school.

“How high is the risk of the surgery?” Zhan Mingyan grabbed Zhou Rui’s arm and asked.

“Sir Zhan is quite old, and he has hypertension, his condition is somewhat dangerous, the risk of the surgery is relatively high.”

“What are the chances of success?” Zhan Mingyan asked coldly.

Zhou Rui answered, “Forty percent.”

Forty percent, meaning the chance of surgery success was less than half.

Zhan Mingyan’s face turned pale in an instant, his medical skills were better than hers, and he only had a forty percent chance of success, her grandfather’s situation seemed more ill-fated than fortunate.

“Mingyan, we can’t delay any longer, you need to make a decision quickly,” Zhou Rui said.

“Senior, wait a moment.”

Zhan Mingyan took out her cellphone, her hands trembling as she pressed the buttons.

“Bai Jue, where are you?”

Bai Jue received Zhan Mingyan’s call with a pressed lip smile, and before he could speak, he heard her frantic voice, “What’s happened?”

“Bai Jue, my grandfather had an accident, he’s now in the hospital, come quickly.”

“Which hospital?” Bai Jue’s face tightened.

“Okay, I know. First, have the doctors stabilize the old man’s condition. Don’t do anything else for now, I’ll be there soon.”

After hanging up, Zhan Mingyan changed into sterile clothing and went into the operating room with Zhou Rui.

They hadn’t been inside for five minutes before Bai Jue arrived.

Luckily he had been doing business nearby; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been easy to come so quickly.

After greeting several people from the Troops, Bai Jue was about to ask about the situation when Zhan Mingyan came out from the inside.

“Bai Jue.”

Seeing him, Zhan Mingyan’s uneasy heart settled a bit.

“Don’t worry, leave everything to me.” Bai Jue patted his shoulder, then hurried to put on sterile clothing and enter the operating room.

In the corridor, Zhan Mingyan leaned against the wall, unable to sit still.

Time steadily slipped away, every minute and second a torment.

It was uncertain how much time had passed when the doors to the operating room finally opened.

Bai Jue led the way out, with Zhou Rui at his side, looking at Bai Jue with shining eyes, like a little fan.

“Bai Jue, how did it go?” Zhan Mingyan rushed forward, and Bai Jue removed his mask, his thin lips lightly curved, “Don’t worry, it’s all right now.”

At these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhan Mingyan’s tense back relaxed, her shoulders aching a bit.

She grabbed Bai Jue’s hand, showing a relieved smile.

“Silly girl, what is there to fear with me here?” Bai Jue tapped her head lightly, looking at her reddened eyes with a touch of distress.

By evening, Grandfather Zhan had been moved back to the ward.

Zhan Ze had urgent matters to attend to at the Troops, so after a brief stay in the ward, he left first. Lu Hui and Zhan Mingyan kept watch in the ward.

Bai Jue brought back some food, and seeing Zhan Mingyan still by the bedside, he put down the things and approached, “Auntie, you go eat something first.”

Lu Hui set down the cotton swab, and her eyes showed even more satisfaction as she looked at Bai Jue, “You and Yanyan come eat as well.”

“Mhm.”

Bai Jue bent down, taking Zhan Mingyan’s hand from behind, “Let’s go, we’ll eat first.”

Zhan Mingyan looked up into his eyes, and smiled warmly.

Lu Hui observed the two sitting side by side across from her, her face full of mother-in-law’s happiness.

“Eat some more.” Bai Jue helped her with picking meat and vegetables, while he himself hardly ate anything.

Zhan Mingyan looked at the heaping vegetables and meat in her bowl and chuckled lightly, “Bai Jue, I can’t finish all these, you eat, don’t pick for me anymore.”

“Yeah, Bai Jue, you yourself haven’t eaten much,” said Lu Hui.

Bai Jue said, “It’s okay, I can eat later.”

After dinner, Bai Jue took the initiative to clean up the leftovers, stuffing everything into a bag.

“Yanyan, go with Bai Jue to throw out the trash,” Lu Hui urged Zhan Mingyan, whispering, “Remember to thank him.”

Zhan Mingyan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, Bai Jue gave Lu Hui a thumbs up, and then pulled Zhan Mingyan to head outside.

Having an understanding mother-in-law is one of life’s greatest fortunes.

The late autumn wind was chilly.

Downstairs at the hospital, there were fewer people coming and going, and the sound of the wind echoed faintly in the ears.

On the bench, Zhan Mingyan leaned on Bai Jue’s shoulder.

“Even little chili peppers have their quiet moments, huh?” teased Bai Jue.

“Bai Jue, thank you.” Zhan Mingyan, unusually, didn’t banter with him and spoke softly.
