Mu Jiu disdainfully remarked, "So fussy and finicky!"
He stared at the door to the operating room, asking, "How much longer will this take?"
Qin Chao replied, "Doctor Zhou said at least 10 hours."
Mu Jiu’s legs felt even weaker.
Cold sweat broke out more and more.
Qin Chao suggested, "How about asking Miss Zhou to keep you company?"
Mu Jiu glared at him, "Didn’t you see my mother doesn’t like her?"
Qin Chao just made a sound of realization, then followed Mu Jiu’s example by eyeing his nose, and nose his heart.
After waiting another ten minutes, Mu Jiu couldn’t bear it any longer, he kicked Qin Chao, "How can you be so clueless?"
Qin Chao, a straightforward guy, scratched his head, "Just tell me what you’d like, Mu Jiu. How could I possibly guess what you’re thinking?"
"Go to the Bao Mansion and bring Su Ruanruan here!" Mu Jiu put on his sunglasses.
Qin Chao was puzzled, "But this morning, weren’t you praying that Miss Su wouldn’t come?"
His face darkened, "This morning was the morning, now is now!"
He huffed, "That girl better have some conscience."
Even the usually obtuse Qin Chao could tell.
Their Mu Jiu was scared!
Qin Chao felt rather at a loss for words but still drove fast to the Bao Mansion to pick her up.
Upon arrival at Bao Mansion, Housekeeper Wang led the guest inside.
Su Ruanruan was sipping tea in the courtyard, she looked up at the sound of footsteps and smiled lightly, "Did Mu Jiu send you?"
Qin Chao, who owed her a favor, was very respectful, "Yes, Mu Jiu’s mother is in surgery, and Mu Jiu would like Miss Su to come over."
Before he could finish, Housekeeper Wang butted in, "The doctors have been invited and gifts sent, does our Miss Su really need to provide after-sales service too?"
Qin Chao’s face turned red.
Su Ruanruan glanced at Housekeeper Wang, said lightly, "Stop giving him a hard time, I’ll go."
After informing the elder lady, she followed Qin Chao to the hospital.
In the hallway, Mu Jiu stood leaning against the wall.
Seeing Su Ruanruan coming, Mu Jiu got defensive, "I’m telling you, I didn’t call you here because I’m scared."
Su Ruanruan could clearly see his condition but she remained calm, asking Qin Chao to bring a chair over and took a seat.
Mu Jiu stubbornly insisted, "Let me make it clear upfront, this has nothing to do with our bet! You came voluntarily because you care about my mother."
"Right, I came voluntarily," said Su Ruanruan softly.
Mu Jiu was reassured.
Qin Chao was also relieved and went out to buy some beverages or something.
Half an hour later, Qin Chao returned, dumbfounded.
Mu Jiu was actually squatting on the floor, clutching Miss Su’s lower legs tightly, looking like a big wolfhound.
And Mu Jiu was shivering all over.
Yet Su Ruanruan was very calm!
She said to Qin Chao, "Find a nurse to give Mu Jiu a sedative."
Qin Chao wanted to cover his face.
Su Ruanruan with a faint smile and downcast eyes, "Your Mu Jiu is about to faint."
When Mu Jiu woke up, it was already hours later.
The first thing he saw was the white ceiling.
Feeling his muscles recover, Mu Jiu promptly sat up.
His mother was in surgery, how could he have fainted?
As he moved, he heard Qin Chao, downcast, "Auntie Mei’s surgery has long been finished, very successful!"
Mu Jiu got out of bed, shaking off his stiffness, "It finished?"
"Yes! Miss Su was with you the whole time." Qin Chao, afraid he’d forget, reminded him, "You were clinging to Miss Su’s legs the whole time, and only after getting a sedative did you fall asleep, Mu Jiu, don’t you remember?"
Mu Jiu didn’t want to remember such an embarrassing incident.
He asked the most concerning question, "That girl, she didn’t use this as an opportunity to blackmail me, did she?"
Qin Chao scratched his head, "As soon as the surgery finished, Miss Su left."
That girl actually left... She didn’t try to take advantage one more time?
