Chapter 596 Wanwan looked jealous.
"Dad doesn't know if this surgery will go smoothly. I'm relieved to hand you over to Mo Erchen. Your grandma is in your care now."
"I already told you that Dr. Liang will be there for your surgery, there won't be any problems. Didn't Auntie and Erchen just say that? Dad, don't overthink it, it's like you're giving your last words."
Xu Zhiyi's eyes were blurry with tears, filled with a misty haze.
"Dad was just saying that. Don't cry, girl. I believe that with Erchen and your aunt here, I'll be fine. In the future, get along well with Erchen. Dad hopes you can be happy."
"dad…"
Xu Zhiyi wiped away her tears and rushed into her father's arms.
How fortunate she is to have such a wonderful father.
How fortunate I was to have met Merschen and his warm family.
It gave her hope for her previously bleak future.
When I first met Mo Erchen, he seemed cold and sharp-tongued, but I never expected that he was just tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Now, he has become warmer.
If it weren't for him, one could easily foresee what the future would hold for her father, grandmother, and herself.
It must have fallen into the dust, like a humble grain of sand.
No one cares about her and her family's life or death, their heartache, or their hardships.
Now that he's here, everything seems to have changed, and things are moving in a positive direction.
Perhaps, she too could escape her bleak life and find happiness and love.
He was like a ray of light, illuminating her life, which was as insignificant as a grain of sand.
"Zhiyi, the maid has brought in the food. Could you come and get it?"
Merschen sent a message.
"I'll come get it right away, Erchen."
Xu Zhiyi replied with a sentence, then picked up a tissue from the bedside table in the ward and wiped away her tears.
She opened the door and went to Mu Qianqian's ward next door.
Three days later, Mu Qianqian was discharged from the hospital.
She originally went to the hospital to help her son, Erchen. Now that she has settled things with her future in-laws and daughter-in-law, she no longer needs to be hospitalized.
Xu Lanshan's surgery also began at 3 p.m.
Liang Jie accompanied her father, Liang Yaosheng, to the operating room for pre-operative preparations.
Mo Erchen turned down a contract worth over 100 million that he was originally prepared to sign, and came to the hospital with his assistant.
At the entrance of the operating room, seeing Xu Zhiyi trembling slightly with nervousness, Mo Erchen walked over, tentatively reaching out to put his arm around Xu Zhiyi's waist.
"Zhiyi, don't worry. My grandfather is a leading expert in this field. With him performing the surgery, Uncle Xu will definitely be fine."
Xu Zhiyi was a little uncomfortable with the man's closeness, after all, she had never been so intimate with a man before.
She subconsciously shifted, trying to break free from Mo Erchen's embrace.
"Zhiyi, don't move. I just want to give you a sense of security."
Mo Erchen's scorching breath and hoarse voice lingered in Xu Zhiyi's ears.
Xu Zhiyi trembled all over.
She sensed that something was off about Merschen's reaction.
After struggling for a moment, Xu Zhiyi stopped moving.
She longed for the warmth of Merschen's embrace and the pleasant scent of cedar on his body.
Her nervousness subsided, and she felt a great sense of security.
Song Zhizhi stood to the side, watching the two of them embrace, and smiled.
She had always thought highly of Mo Erchen, but she disliked his sharp tongue.
Now that she sees that her best friend has truly fallen for him, she feels only joy and blessings.
It seems that the day when she is kept by her best friend who has married into a wealthy family is not far off!
When the assistant saw his once cold, ruthless, aloof, and ascetic boss gently embracing Miss Xu with a smile on his lips, he couldn't believe it, as if he had seen a ghost.
Is this still the same aloof CEO who keeps his distance from women?
"Your boss has fallen for it."
Song Zhizhi smiled broadly, her lips slightly upturned, and whispered to her assistant.
"It's rare to see such a person. Miss Xu is truly charming. Our CEO used to be aloof and unapproachable, especially women. I never expected that he would fall for Miss Xu!"
The assistant also whispered.
"Actually, I sensed it the first time we met at the swimming pool. Your boss was interested in my best friend. Although he was sarcastic and seemed indifferent, the way he looked at my best friend was strange."
"He's just stubborn and arrogant."
"You're right, he's a total tsundere."
Song Zhizhi and her assistant were having a lively discussion.
Song Zhizhi and her assistant only shut up when they both felt a chill creeping over them.
Although Mo Erchen was holding Xu Zhiyi, his ears were not idle.
He overheard the entire conversation between his assistant and Song Zhizhi.
"Mr. Mo, we were wrong."
The assistant apologized immediately.
"You'll be fined a month's bonus for talking about the boss in private."
"Mr. Mo..."
"Two months."
"... "
The assistant was speechless and dared not say anything.
Song Zhizhi wasn't afraid. After all, she wasn't an employee of the Mo Group, so what could Mo Erchen do to her?
“Mo Erchen, we’re just telling the truth, don’t you think it’s right? You used to be so arrogant and had such a sharp tongue, I never liked you being with Zhizhi.”
"Considering you're Zhiyi's best friend and you've helped her before, I won't hold it against you. Just don't let it happen again."
After Mo Erchen finished speaking, he put his arm around Xu Zhiyi and sat down on a chair near the operating room door.
"The surgery will take a few more hours. Zhiyi, you'll get tired standing like this. Why don't you sit down and rest for a bit? Would you like something to drink? I'll have my assistant go get it."
Mo Erchen asked Xu Zhiyi.
He did this to ease Xu Zhiyi's tension.
"I can't drink anything, why is it taking so long? Could something have happened to my dad, Erchen?"
Xu Zhiyi's eyes were red.
She had no appetite for anything.
Her fingers gripped Mo Erchen's clothes tightly.
"Uncle Xu will be fine, I promise. Don't worry, Zhiyi, I'm here."
Mo Erchen grasped the hand that Xu Zhiyi was using to tug at his clothes, comforting her.
When Helian Cheng, Meng Size, and Wanwan arrived carrying a large bag of food and drinks, this was the scene they saw.
"Holy crap, holy crap, Si Ze, what am I seeing? Mo Erchen, that cold-blooded demon king, is actually being so gentle and coaxing people?"
Helian Cheng was also incredulous, as if he had seen a ghost.
His and his assistant's expressions were exactly the same.
"The power of love."
Meng Size said it in a calm tone.
"Is this really my second brother? Am I seeing a fake second brother? He's never been this doting on me, his little sister."
Wanwan looked on with a bitter expression, her gaze towards her brother filled with resentment, as if she had been hurt.
"Wanwan, you don't need to be jealous. Brother Size will coax you gently in the same way."
Meng Size was half joking, half revealing his feelings.
"Get out of here, Meng Size. Wanwan doesn't need your gentle coaxing. She has me, Liancheng, to coax her."
Helian Cheng immediately became furious.
He put his things on the bench outside the operating room and said with a jealous look on his face.
