Chapter 159: Chapter 159 I Don’t Want to Wait Any Longer
She looked up at Ji Luochen and spoke seriously, “Your Highness, I don’t want to wait any longer. I want to perform the surgery for you as soon as possible, is that okay?”
Ji Luochen was taken aback for a moment before his throat moved slightly, “Do you think that would be better?”
Mu Lingyun buried her head back into Ji Luochen’s chest, her voice hoarse, “I don’t want to wait any longer. I’m afraid if we keep waiting, something might suddenly… suddenly…”
If something sudden happened, plunging them into the worst-case scenario, what then?
“You trust me, I will do my utmost… If there are any problems… whatever they are, I’ll be with you…”
Even if it was death, she would still be with him!
...
“Silly girl, of course I trust you,” Ji Luochen couldn’t help but laugh, “If Doctor Mu thinks it’s best, then I’ll listen to Doctor Mu. However, I have an urgent matter to deal with on my side. So, can we schedule the surgery for a little over two months from now?”
Mu Lingyun thought seriously for a moment and felt that scheduling it for a little over two months later was an appropriate time as well.
First, she needed to complete several surgeries she currently had scheduled.
Moreover, after a comprehensive examination of Ji Luochen’s body, he would need time to strengthen his foundation and nourish his vitality, ensuring he was in the best condition to face the upcoming surgery.
“Then you should go back and discuss with your grandfather and maternal grandfather to decide on a specific time,” after all, it was a surgery with risks, and family members naturally needed to be informed.
And, everyone needed to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
If the surgery failed, what would become of the Ji family? Such questions also needed to be considered.
“Alright, we will discuss it carefully and let you know as soon as possible,” Ji Luochen said in a gentle voice, “So, Doctor Mu, can we go to eat now? Aren’t you hungry?”
In fact, Mu Lingyun was already quite hungry, but because she was upset, she didn’t feel like eating.
Now that she felt better, she was quite eager to eat.
So she touched her stomach, looked up at Ji Luochen with pitiful eyes, and nodded, “Hungry, Your Highness, I’m so hungry! Am I about to starve to death?”
Ji Luochen’s chest vibrated with laughter as he said, ruffling her bangs, “Silly girl, I’ll take you for some tasty food now, you won’t starve.”
After they had dinner together, they returned to the Ji residence because Mu Lingyun was supposed to perform acupuncture on Ji Luochen as well.
At the Ji residence, Mu Lingyun saw Xiao Kai, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
She had known for a while that Xiao Kai had returned, but she had been on set and hadn’t seen him.
Though she had been to the Ji residence in recent days, it seemed Xiao Kai had been out, so she hadn’t seen him either.
When Xiao Kai saw Mu Lingyun, he said somewhat obsequiously, “Your Majesty, after several months, you’ve become even more beautiful.”
Mu Lingyun couldn’t help but laugh, “After months, you’ve become quite the smooth talker. How was your time in Southern Africa? I didn’t expect you to actually volunteer for a mission there, quite impressive, huh?”
He was tanned and had lost weight!
“Volunteer?” Xiao Kai’s mouth twitched.
Mu Lingyun nodded, “Isn’t that so?”
Xiao Kai: …
Volunteer? Yeah right, as if he had a choice!
However, he still said with a smile, “It’s not important. What’s important is that I’ve brought a gift for you.”
As he spoke, Xiao Kai handed a box to Mu Lingyun.
Mu Lingyun took it, noticing the box was about half the size of a glasses case. When she opened it, she found inside a complete, uncarved, raw gemstone.
