Fleeting Fortune: A Pampered Life

Chapter 464: 297 Post-operation: Various Reactions, Did Big Brother Comfort Wanwan Until She Cried? (14 updates) Qi Family Qi Zeyan had gone to the hospital after work, but the Jiang family members were all waiting anxiously. The atmosphere was already tense, and no one had tto deal with him, so he quickly glanced at the situation and returned home.

Staying would not have been any help and might have only made the atmosphere even tenser. He couldn't focus on anything else at home, tried playing a video gto alleviate sof his restlessness, but his lack of concentration led his team to defeat.

He was scolded by someone who said his skills were as crappy as dog shit, and that person even went ahead and reported him.

The surgery was a success, and Ruan Mengxi, still in the hospital, was the first to call him to explain the situation.

Knowing the surgery went smoothly, his mood greatly improved. He hadn't eaten much all day due to worry, but now his appetite returned late at night, and he personally cooked something to eat.

While holding the frying pan, he kept humming a tacky song.

Qi's grandfather passed by the kitchen and, seeing him like that, guessed that Jiang Jinsang was all right. The Jiang family must be worried and in chaos, and he had thought about visiting the hospital or calling to ask about the situation but decided not to add to the commotion.

"Grandpa, haven't you slept yet? Want to eat something together?" Qi Zeyan was in a very good mood.

"No thanks, just cooking a meal, why the hip shaking?" Qi Zeyan paused: When did he ever shake his hips? At most, he just wiggled a little.

--- Meanwhile, the news had quickly reached Hexi.

"Master, we've got news from the hospital, they said the surgery was successful, but Jinsang hasn't left the operating room yet." The Huo family members were delighted to hear that Jiang Jinsang's surgery went well.

Although a certain person didn't say it, there was a palpable low pressure enveloping the entire household.

They were busy with their matters, but the slightest noise or just passing by him, that person found it annoying, causing everyone to murmur complaints and feel uneasy.

After hearing the news of the successful surgery, his face showed no expression, and the Huo family members watched him closely...

What now? Aren't you going to react? "Why are you still standing here?" He raised an eyebrow at the person beside him.

"I..." "I'm about to take a shower, are you planning to watch?" "No, I'll leave right away." He just wanted to see if he would show any happiness. At those words, the person quickly scrambled out, and once the door closed, that person's lips subtly curled into a smile.

** Jiang Jinsang was wheeled out of the operating room close to midnight.

Everyone had been waiting outside the operating room all day, utterly exhausted, but at his coming out, it was as if they were suddenly invigorated, all crowding around, though there were medical professionals present, and he was still hooked up to tubes and receiving fluids, so they didn't dare ctoo close.

"The surgery went smoothly, congratulations." "Thank you all for your hard work." The old lady, leaning on her cane, followed the stretcher closely.

"It's the doctors who worked hard. I saw Doctor Zhou's neck was stiff after finishing the surgery, and even after stitching up the wound, he was still intently watching over..." Jinsang's condition warranted transfer to the intensive care unit for further observation. However, since his vital signs were very stable after the surgery, Zhou Zhongqing felt there was no problem and let him return to the general ward.

But it was uncertain when he would wake up.

He might cto in an hour or two, or it might take several days.

The crowd bustled about all day and stayed in the ward until past one in the morning before they each went home.

The elderly, like the old lady, seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and Shen Zhixian had to take care of the children. After discussing, they left Jiang Yanting and Tang Wan there, so if he woke up in the middle of the night and needed anything, having Jiang Yanting, a man with more strength, was more convenient.

"Do you want to get ssleep?" Jiang Yanting looked at Tang Wan, whose eyes were very red, as if she was about to cry.

He handed her a couple of tissues...

Tang Wan had been suppressing her tension all day long. Her eyes were reddening as the tightly wound nerves suddenly relaxed, eliciting sexcitement. But when he handed her the tissues, it made her nose tingle, and she actually started crying.

Jiang Yanting raised an eyebrow and handed her a few more tissues.

If this were Shen Zhixian, she was always easy to console with a hug, a hold, a kiss... but her...

He didn't know how to comfort.

At such times, one would usually say, "The surgery was successful, don't cry." Jiang Yanting thought it over, she might need to vent since she'd been repressing for too long, and handed the whole box of tissues to her, "Go ahead, cry it out. You'll feel better." Tang Wan really didn't want to cry, but somehow, perhaps due to the emotions, the tears just kept falling.

"How is Xiaowu doing now?" Zhou Zhongqing was still in the hospital in the middle of the night, he hadn't left, and a nurse cevery two hours to record updates.

Having stood at the operating table for many years, he suffered from a severe cervical spine condition and varicose veins in his legs. After standing for too long that day and despite taking a short rest, his walk was still somewhat limping, and his neck was terribly stiff.

He had been through surgeries lasting forty to fifty hours without a break and had never seen his lumbar spine in such a severe state.

Perhaps because the surgery went smoothly and his body relaxed, various ailments started to find him.

"That's great, Uncle Zhou. Please have a seat, I'll get you swater." Tang Wan lowered her head to cover her face, using the excuse to head to the restroom first, splashing water on her face to wash up.

Her voice was laced with the sound of tears, leading Zhou Zhongqing to walk over to Jiang Yanting and whisper, "Why is she crying? Did you do this?" Considering the surgery had ended stago, and Tang Wan hadn't cried then, but was crying now, Zhou Zhongqing naturally assumed Jiang Yanting had done something.

"Xiaowu's surgery went well. She's probably overwhelmed with joy, crying from extrhappiness." "Her reaction tsure is long..." Zhou Zhongqing, thinking of her young age and possibly her nerves, said, "Well, I'll be leaving then. Take care of her later, comfort her a bit." "I understand." When Tang Wan cout, Zhou Zhongqing had already left. Her eyes were red from crying, and she felt a bit embarrassed looking at Jiang Yanting, "Big brother, sorry for making you see this." Jiang Yanting hummed a response, then asked, "Do you still need tissues?" Meanwhile, Jiang Jinsang, lying in the hospital bed, slightly moved the fingers that were attached to the oximeter.

** The next morning Tang Wan left to buy breakfast, also picking up something for Zhou Zhongqing, seeing that he was just sleeping in his office, which made her feel sorry for him.

"Uncle Zhou, I brought you sbuns and soy milk." "I could go to the cafeteria and eat just as well, the doctor's card gets a discount too," Zhou Zhongqing said, but he still happily accepted the breakfast.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." "I'm a doctor, it's what I'm supposed to do..."

"Wuge's surgery went smoothly, you should be relieved now." Tang Wan coughed softly, "Have you ever thought about finding someone to take care of you?"

"You see how busy I am. I have another surgery this afternoon, and then I have to do two surgeries at another hospital tomorrow, and then give a lecture. It's impossible forto take care of a family, I shouldn't drag someone else down."

Tang Wan didn't say anything...

However, that afternoon, Zhou Zhongqing received a gift from Tang Wan.

A rectangular box, which had been specially wrapped.

"Hey, Dr. Zhou, that couldn't be a thank-you banner, could it?" another doctor gathered around.

"It might be flowers, there are a lot of boxed flowers now that last a long time." "His Highness Wuge and his fiancée really treat you well; they always send whatever food and drink they can spare." "Ah, it's nothing much," Zhou Zhongqing said firmly, still smiling as he unwrapped the package. Expecting a thank-you banner or a bouquet, even as a man, getting a present made his heart flutter a bit. But when he tore open the packaging, what lay quietly inside was a pair of...

Varicose vein socks.

At this moment, Tang Wan in the hospital ward felt she had been very thoughtful. After all, sending banners or flowers was too common, too usual, not as practical as this...

The group of doctors and nurses crowded around Zhou Zhongqing, awaiting the unveiling of the gift, but when they saw it was this, they paused.

"Truly thoughtful; much more practical than flowers." "The color of these socks is nice too." "The style's not bad either." The onlooking doctors didn't know what to say, offering random praises before leaving, struggling to hold back laughter.

Zhou Zhongqing's mouth twitched: Honestly... it was the first tanyone had given him something like this.

Who sends varicose vein socks after a patient's successful surgery? Though he grumbled, after taking them home, he still put them on to try. He had always felt such socks to be somewhat useless, but now it seemed there was sbenefit to them.

One by one, Tang Wan sent him more items, including a jacket, even a neck massager, a thermal mug, sweaters, goji berries, and the like; she was treating him as if he were her father, showing her filial piety.

He was a lone man, his life admittedly a bit rough; Jiang Jinsang was wonderful, treating him well, but men can't match girls for their attentive, caring nature.

Each tTang Wan sent him something, his colleagues would tease him a little, saying he had performed a surgery and seemed to have gained a goddaughter.

Zhou Zhongqing grumbled in response, but cto work the very next day wearing the new sweater and jacket he had received.
