Chapter 32: No Aftereffects

y his suit jacket lay carelessly on the sofa."Where did he go" Fu Xiaoyao muttered in confusion, smoothing her bathrobe and stepping out of the room.In the living room downstairs, Aunt Song was still...Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions in them, "He talked about some surgical matters."

"Surgery" Qi Ya's eyes lit up, her expression brimming with excitement. "Has the surgery date been set When can I have the surgery"

"It's almost time, the first surgery is scheduled for these few days."

"That's wonderful." Qi Ya clasped her hands together, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Lu Hanchuan handed her a tissue. "Don't cry, it's not becoming of you."

"Are you disgusted with me" Qi Ya pouted her lips unhappily.

Lu Hanchuan shook his head lightly, "No."

"I don't believe it!" Qi Ya curled her legs up, hugging her knees, her face full of sadness. "Actually, I know I'm very ugly now. My hair is almost all gone, my skin is dark and yellow, and I have no meat on my body. How could I possibly be beautiful..."

"Once you recover from your illness, you'll be back to normal in no time. Don't overthink it!" Lu Hanchuan reached out and rubbed her hair, his eyes filled with a hint of sympathy.

Qi Ya sniffed, "Hánchuan, do you think I'll still be able to dance in the future"

"Sure."

"Really"

Lu Hanchuan nodded, "Hmm!"

He knew how much she loved ballet.

So this question, he had asked Shao Sian a long time ago.

Shao Si Nian replied that as long as both surgeries were successful, she would still be able to stand on stage.

"I believe you!" Qi Ya relaxed her knees, hugged him, and pressed her face against his chest. "I know, you've never lied to me."

Lu Hanchuan's body suddenly stiffened, he didn't know if it was because of her words, or because of her sudden proximity that made him uncomfortable.

"Oh my, did I interrupt you" A teasing voice suddenly sounded at the door, it was Shao Sian.

Qi Yaohong blushed and released Lu Hanchuan, "No disturbance, Si Nian you come in, why are you back suddenly Is there something you haven't finished saying"

"Again" Shao Sini raised an eyebrow.

Did he just come by

Shao Si Nian subconsciously looked towards Lu Hanchuan, just meeting his cold eyes that held a warning.

Shao Siniang was frightened, and suddenly understood what had happened. She composed herself and smiled, “Yes, there were a few things I hadn't explained clearly just now. I've come back to supplement them now. Hanchuan, let's go out and talk.”

Lu Hanchuan stepped out.

"It wasn't me who just came in, was it Fu Xiaoyao" As soon as the hospital door closed, Shao Sian looked at him with a half-smile.

Lu Hanchuan noncommittally raised his chin slightly, admitting it.

"As I expected!" Shao Si Nian scoffed, "Han Chuan, I just don't understand why you won't tell her the truth. Do you think she can keep this a secret for long"

"How long it can be concealed is how long." Lu Hánchuan lowered his eyes and said in a faint voice.

"What's the point of this" Shao Si Nian frowned, "Qi Ya doesn't love you at all. She only loves her ballet and the Lincoln stage. What meaning is there in keeping this from her Don't tell me you're planning to rekindle your old romance with her"

"That's not true!" Lu Hanchuan impatiently pinched the bridge of his nose, "Alright, let's not talk about this. Has Fu Xiaoyao's medical test results come out yet"

"Here it is." Shao Sinians handed over the medical records he carried with him. "They're all in here, take a look yourself."

Lu Hanchuan took it, flipped through it casually and then closed it. He couldn't understand a word, "Just tell me directly, will she have any aftereffects"

"As long as she takes good care of herself after the surgery, there's a 70% chance that it won't happen. However, her health won't be as good as before. She'll be more susceptible to illnesses if she catches a cold."

"That's it!" Lu Hanchuan slapped the medical record onto Shao Sian.

As long as Fu Xiaoyao doesn't have aftereffects, Xiaoya will be saved, and he won't have to struggle or feel helpless anymore!

As for Fu Xiaoyao's declining physical condition, he will be fully responsible!

Shao Si Nian hurriedly caught the patient file folder that was about to slip from his grasp, calling out to Lu Hanchuan who was preparing to return to the ward, "Hanchuan, there's something, do you know about Fu Xiaoyao and Qi Ya..."

"What's wrong with the two of them" Lu Hanchuan stopped his action of opening the door.

Shao Si Nian's eyes flashed, he smiled, "It's nothing, it's not anything particularly important. I'll tell you when I figure it out. I'm leaving first."

He tucked the patient chart under his arm, with his hands in his pockets, and strolled away nonchalantly.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at his back for a while. He twisted the door open and as soon as he entered, he heard a "pa" sound, a black shadow slid across the floor and came to a stop right at his feet.

Lu Hanchuan looked down and saw a broken phone. The person who broke the phone was sitting on the hospital bed, sobbing uncontrollably, gasping for air, and her whites of her eyes rolled up.

"Xiao Ya!" Lu Hanchuan's face tightened, he quickly walked over and picked up a bottle of spray from the bedside table, spraying it towards her face several times.

Moments later, Qi Ya's breathing became much more stable, her sobs subsided, and tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Lu Hanchuan, "Hanchuan, they were too cruel."

"Them"

“Those people in the dance troupe, they got an invitation to Lincoln Stage and deliberately called to mock me for not being able to go. How hateful!”

What made her most hateful was that person. She loved him so much, even as she lay dying, she still thought of him.

But he, on the contrary, not only broke up with her but also blocked her. Who knows, maybe he's now fooling around with some other fox spirit.

Just wait, once she recovers, she'll skin those vixens alive!

Qi Ya lowered her eyelids, concealing the glint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

"It's alright." Lu Hanchuan patted her on the back, soothingly said, "When you're better, there will be opportunities. Don't think too much about it, just take a nap for now."

"Then I'll fall asleep, won't you leave again" Qi Ya grabbed his hand, afraid he would leave.

"I won't leave." Lu Hanchuan helped her lie down.

She suddenly broke down in tears, and he didn't feel comfortable leaving her like that.

"You said it yourself, Kanagawa, don't let me wake up and not see you."

"No." Lu Hanzhan pulled up a chair and sat beside her bed.

Satisfied with his assurance, she nestled into his arms and closed her eyes.

After Qi Ya fell asleep, Lu Hanchuan gently withdrew his hand and took his phone to the balcony to make a call.

When Fu Xiaoyao received the call, she was still in the car. "Hánchuān."

"You're not at the company yet" Lu Hanchuan frowned, faintly hearing the sound of traffic from her side.

Fu Xiaoyao looked out the car window at the company building just ahead. "Not yet, there was a traffic jam on the road just now, but I'll be there soon."

Lu Hanchuan hummed in response, "Go back tonight, don't sleep first, I want to talk to you. I might be back a little late."

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao replied in a low voice, her mood not high.

She probably guessed what he was going to talk about.

It's just about bone marrow donation.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Xiaoyao put her phone away and let out a long sigh before paying for her fare and getting off.

Back at the company, as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Yu Lin guarding her office door.

"You're finally back, where did you go" Yu Lin walked over to her.

"I went out with President Lu." Fu Xiaoyao took the office access card from her bag and opened the door.

Yu Lin followed behind her, "Talking business"

"I guess so." Fu Xiaoyao turned on the air conditioner and set it to 26 degrees.

Yu Lin plopped down and said, "No wonder she didn't even answer my calls."

"I'm sorry," Fu Xiaoyao apologized.

The phone call outside Qi Ya's ward was from Yu Lin. She originally intended to call back later.

The moment the results came out, he forgot about them.

"What can I do for you" Fu Xiaoyao poured a cup of tea for Yu Lin.y turned back, her eyes flickering at Lu Hanchuan's leaving direction before she lowered her head, covering her expression, and walked downstairs.When she got downstairs, she didn't say a word. She we...
