Chapter 789: Little Zi Was Too Tired and Lost Consciousness After Finishing the Operation

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from a distance behind Lu Jingye.

“Brother.”

Lu Jingye turned his head and looked at Lu Yunxiao walking over.

Lu Yunxiao came and stood fully next to him. His hand reached into his pocket and he took out a piece of candy before passing it to him.

This candy was something Zi Yi forced on him in the morning.

“Have a candy.” Lu Yunxiao then said in an extremely serious tone of voice, “Sister-in-law said that you won’t feel any worries after eating this candy and everything will go well.”

In fact, the two brothers did not like sweet food. However, Lu Jingye took the candy, unwrapped the wrapper, and put it in his mouth.

The sweetness filled his mouth in an instant. Lu Jingye thought of how Zi Yi always liked to squint her eyes when she ate sweets and looked as though she really enjoyed herself.

He also tried to copy her look and squinted his eyes.

After he finished the candy, he finally calmed down.

It just so happened that his phone rang again at that moment.

It was a call from the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

The higher-ups had placed great importance on what happened last night. Lu Jingye conversed with the other party for nearly half an hour.

In the end, the other party said, “Little Lu, we hope that you can make a trip to the office today.”

Lu Jingye refused without any hesitation. “Sorry, my wife is currently operating on my Grandfather in the operating room. I want to wait for them to come out.”

The other party was silent for a few seconds before he said, “Alright then. Take care of both of them.”

“Mhmm.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingye put his phone away and said to Lu Yunxiao next to him, “Let’s go. We shouldn’t let Mother worry.”

Mrs. Lu looked at the two brothers coming out from the stairwell. While she felt relief, at the same time, she felt her heart aching.

No matter how worried her Eldest son was, he would never show his emotions in front of them.

…

Patriarch Lu’s surgery lasted for nearly ten hours. When the chief doctor and the assistants pushed out Patriarch Lu who had tubes all over his body, everyone came forward and surrounded him.

Director Chang said, “The operation was successful.”

While the others were in a happy mood, Lu Jingye asked, “Where’s Yiyi?”

The smile on Director Chang’s face stiffened for a second and he said, “Little Zi was too exhausted. She lost consciousness after finishing the operation.”

As Zi Yi was pregnant with twins, it was already very physically exhausting for her. Not to mention, she had done six to seven hours of surgery and it was obvious that her body was unable to stand it.

Lu Jingye’s expression changed immediately and there was no longer his usual calmness. He immediately ran into the operating room.

By the time Lu Jingye came in, Zi Yi had already woken up. Standing in front of her were Elder Hu and Elder Tang who were equally worried about her condition.

Elder Tang was currently giving her acupuncture, while Elder Tang fed her glucose.

“Girl, take a deep breath in… yes, don’t let your baby lack oxygen.”

“Little Zi, open your mouth. Drink some more, you’ll feel better this way.”

Lu Jingye headed over in large strides.

Elder Hu and Elder Tang turned around, as they heard the sound of footsteps. The moment they saw it was him, the both of them stepped aside.

Lu Jingye squatted in front of her. He raised his hand to touch her face while asking in a hoarse voice, “Yiyi, is it very uncomfortable? I’ll bring you home to rest right away.”

Zi Yi originally wanted to hold his hand but she lost all strength after trying to move her fingers.

Lu Jingye seemed to have seen through her thoughts and held her hand.

Zi Yi’s behavior was still alright when she was in front of Elder Tang and Elder Hu, as she told them not to worry about her. But the moment she saw Lu Jingye, the corners of her mouth curved down and she said in a weak voice, “Ah Jing, I feel uncomfortable~”

Lu Jingye’s eyes reddened in an instant. He hastily asked, “Where do you feel uncomfortable?”

Having said that, he lifted her up and headed outside the operating room. While walking, he asked, “I’ll take you home right away. Tell me what I should do so you’ll feel better?”

Zi Yi leaned her head on his chest and said weakly, “I feel dizzy, nauseous and my tummy hurts.”

Lu Jingye pursed his lips and tried to control his emotions. His voice sounded even more hoarse. “Yiyi, tell me. What should I do to make you feel better?”

“Soak me in the nutrient solution for five hours.”

Having said that, Zi Yi closed her eyes.

Lu Jingye grabbed onto her even tighter and his strides were even larger.

Elder Hu and Elder Tang were chasing after him from behind.

“Little Lu, don’t worry. Little Zi is feeling so uncomfortable because she has never been so exhausted before and she is also pregnant.”

“That’s right. She’ll recover after taking a good rest.”

Lu Jingye was still pursing his lips and did not seem to have the intention to speak to them.

The three of them soon arrived at the door of the operating room.

Elder Hu hastily opened the door.

At this moment, Lu Jianlin, Mrs. Lu and Lu Yunxiao were all waiting outside.

“Jingye, what’s wrong with Yiyi?” At the sight of how pale Zi Yi’s complexion was, Mrs. Lu’s voice trembled from fright.

“She’s fine. She’s just too exhausted.” By this time, Lu Jingye had already put away all his emotions as he said to them, “I’ll take Yiyi home right now, so I won’t be visiting Grandfather.”

Lu Jianlin agreed. “Go back and take good care of her.”

“Mhmm.”

Mrs. Lu also said, “I’ll come back later too and prepare some soup for Yiyi.”

“Mhmm.”

After responding, Lu Jingye carried Zi Yi to the elevator.

Lu Yunxiao opened the elevator door for them and sent them downstairs until they got in the car.

…

By the time Zi Yi felt refreshed and opened her eyes, she found herself lying in the bed.

The moment she turned her head, her gaze was met with Lu Jingye’s deep-set eyes.

Looking at the haggard man in front of her, she grabbed his hand and asked, “Ah Jing, what time is it?”

Lu Jingye glanced at his watch. “It’s four o’clock.”

“Hmm? It’s for o’clock on New Year’s day?”

It seems like she had not slept for that long.

“No, it’s 4 a.m in the morning on the second day of the New Year.”

Zi Yi widened her eyes. “Don’t tell me you’ve been awake all this time!”

Before Lu Jingye could answer, Zi Yi wrinkled her nose. “You look like an Uncle right now!”

All the worries in Lu Jingye’s heart dissipated with that sentence of hers. He reached out to pinch her nose while feeling angry and amused. “Naughty girl. You kept sleeping without waking up. Do you think I can fall asleep peacefully?”

Zi Yi gave him a grin and tried to sit up.

Lu Jingye quickly helped her up and asked, “Are you feeling thirsty or hungry?”

“I’m thirsty… and hungry…”

Zi Yi touched her tummy and said, “I feel that I can even finish a whole cow right now.”

Lu Jingye was amused by her words. He helped her sit up and lean against the headrest of the bed, brought her a hoodie to wear, and said, “There’s some food being kept warm in the kitchen for you. Do you want to have it here or go down to eat?”

“Of course, I’ll go down and eat.” Having said that, she wore her slippers and tried to stand up.

However, her legs went soft.

Lu Jingye hastily grabbed her by the waist.

Zi Yi simply leaned in his embrace and acted spoiled. “I’m so hungry that I don’t have any strength. Hug me~”

Lu Jingye lifted her up like a princess and brought her to freshen up first.

When they went downstairs, Zi Yi put her arm around his neck, pressed her cheek against his cheek, and asked, “Did I cause everyone to worry?”

“Mhmm.”

“Did you tell my Grandfather and the rest about this?”

Lu Jingye understood what she meant. “No.”

Zi Yi breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. It’s nothing serious anyway and there’s no need to worry everyone.”

Having said that, she rubbed her cheeks on his and said, “Let’s go and sleep after I finish eating. We still have to go to my Grandfather’s place to pay our greetings and your appearance will make their thoughts wander around.”

Lu Jingye purposely whispered in her ears, “What would they think?”
