10. Seeking
The heart seemed to stop suddenly, and then beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of the chest.
There was a dizziness in front of him, and for a moment Lu Ning even suspected that she might be hallucinating. But Qin You, who was standing in front of her, had already stepped forward, took her hand, and then ...... Just looked at her and knelt down.
"Marry me." He said.
It's true. Lu Ning blinked, and tears that she thought were impossible just rolled out of her eyes.
"You ......," she wanted to say if you were joking. But the first word was slightly broken, and there were even choked tears, Lu Ning had to keep her mouth shut, so as not to lose her temper even more.
Qin You misunderstood what she meant, and said seriously, "I didn't prepare flowers and rings, so I was a little hasty, but ...... Would you like to? β
Lu Ning took a deep breath and raised her hand to wipe it over her face. Erasing the tears, and the urge to cry, she tried her best to calm herself, "Is this the equivalent exchange you want?" β
Qin You's face showed a touch of helplessness, "If you want to make your life better, yes." β
Treat it as if I forced you.
The heartbeat had gradually calmed down, Lu Ning lowered her eyelashes, covering the love in her eyes, and said softly, "Okay." β
If that's what you want...... But the tears could not be stopped. Lu Ning herself didn't know what was wrong, as if she had a big grievance, and it kept pouring up from the bottom of her heart, stimulating her tear ducts and making her lose her temper.
It's like an unbelievable dream. Qin You gave the most unlikely answer.
At this time, Lu Ning finally couldn't continue to deceive herself. - Deep down, she did not fail to dream of this possibility: this tall, handsome, taciturn, proud and noble man really liked her.
But even she herself couldn't believe it, so she could only try her best to suppress such thoughts and not let herself be sentimental.
However, the dream came true.
Qin You was very overwhelmed by her tears. He hurriedly stood up, hesitated for a moment, and carefully hugged Lu Ning into his arms.
It's a very familiar embrace. It was so familiar that Lu Ning closed her eyes, and she could feel a little relieved.
She can't help but admit that maybe in the long time she got along in her previous life, she had already gotten used to this person. His embrace, his breath, his kiss...... And his usual coldness and composure, and the occasional tenderness.
"Don't cry." He whispered comfort.
Lu Ning was slightly in a trance. The Qin You in front of her was unfamiliar, she had never seen it in her previous life. At that time, she always felt that Qin You was high up in the face of her, and even a little bit of goodness was sympathy and pity. So she guarded her self-esteem and insisted on not wanting to understand him.
They were at a stalemate for years. It's just incredible when I think about it now.
Lu Ning tried hard to suppress her emotions and slowly held back her tears. This is not the right time and place, and she is even more reluctant to show such a vulnerable side in front of Qin You.
Drying away her tears, she withdrew from Qin You's arms, "You go back first, I will continue to take care of my mother." β
Qin You nodded, and said uneasily, "The marriage is ......?"
"I'll wait until my mom is well and discharged from the hospital." Lu Ning said without hesitation.
In fact, Qin You just wanted to ask her if she had anything to explain, but when she heard her say this, he didn't defend herself, "Okay." He glanced at her a little reluctantly, "Then I'll go first." β
Lu Ning watched him leave, and it seemed that his consciousness had not come to his senses until now, realizing what had happened.
Qin You proposed to her.
Sudden and hasty, but after all, it was a marriage proposal, not the request she thought it was. What went wrong?
Lu Ning didn't let herself continue to think about it. Anyway, there are many things in this world that don't need answers.
Back in the ward, Zhang Jijuan asked her, "Xiao Ning, who is that Xiao Qin?" Mom's body is not a big problem, she doesn't need to live in such a good ward, did he help arrange it? β
ββ¦β¦ Be. Lu Ning couldn't deny it, "Mom, don't worry, we can still afford the hospitalization." "All they can do is show favors.
Zhang Jijuan sighed, "Where is the favor so good...... and couldn't help but glance at her daughter as she spoke, "Is Xiao Qin ...... Pursuing you? β
"Mom!" Lu Ning subconsciously wanted to avoid this question, but then she thought that she had agreed to Qin You's marriage proposal, and her mother would know about it sooner or later, so she couldn't say anything about denial, so she had to lower her head and pretend to be shy.
Seeing this, Zhang Jijuan couldn't help but think, "It looks like a young man who is quite energetic, he looks good and knows how to be polite, but it's just ...... I'm afraid the conditions of their family are very good, right? β
Lu Ning nodded vaguely, "It's good." β
Zhang Jijuan became worried, "Then you will ...... in the future" She wanted to ask if the two of you could succeed in the future? But it's not good to think about it, and it's not good to dampen my daughter's enthusiasm. Lu Ning has been sensible since she was a child, and she was born beautifully, and it is not that no one likes her, but she has never let herself worry about it. Saying this rashly may make Lu Ning think that he is going to oppose her.
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Lu Ning said, "Let's take care of the present for now." You've got to get better. β
In fact, Zhang Jijuan's condition progressed very smoothly, and after having a targeted direction, she was soon diagnosed with a myxoma in her heart.
"This tumor is between benign and malignant, you must be mentally prepared first." Director Zhang said to Qin You and Lu Ning. Lu Ning is a family member, and it is normal to hear about her condition. And Qin You didn't know how to get the news and rushed over, so he stood next to him to make up the numbers.
"Is the surgery dangerous?" Lu Ning asked nervously.
Director Zhang shook his head, "Among heart tumors, this is a relatively common tumor, I have treated such cases before, and in terms of surgery, I will definitely do my best." The key is postoperative recovery. Myxoma recurrence is minimal, but not completely absent. Once there is a recurrence or even multiple occurrences, the situation is complicated. β
Lu Ning's hands were clenched together, Zhang Jijuan had a recurrence in her previous life, and finally spread, so that she had to change her mind. But now that the surgery has not been done, Lu Ning doesn't believe that she has fought for the same ending.
She took a deep breath, "I believe Director Zhang, as for the result, let's wait until the operation is over." β
The patient's family can understand, and Director Zhang is of course very happy. Qin You sent Lu Ning away, and then turned back, "Director Zhang, did you have any unfinished words just now?" β
"Mr. Qin, forgive me for being abrupt, that Miss Lu is your ......"
"FiancΓ©e." Qin You said, "She is my fiancΓ©e. If you distinguish carefully, there is a faint smugness in this tone.
Director Zhang nodded, "Then this matter is the same as Mr. Qin." Myxoma - Some of them run in families. You should know what that means. β
"Lu Ning may also ......" Qin You immediately became nervous, "Do you want to arrange for her to have a check-up?" β
"Don't worry about it." "But it's best to have regular check-ups in this area to be prepared." β
But even if he said it so lightly, Qin You still couldn't stop worrying. Originally, he just felt sorry for Lu Ning's dependence on his mother, and he had to face the dilemma of his mother's illness. Now there's another layer of worry.
But he didn't come out in front of Lu Ning at all. For Qin You, this is not a difficult matter, as long as he keeps a straight face.
This is followed by intense pre-operative preparation and surgery time. Since she agreed to the marriage proposal, Qin You would come over almost every day, and then she simply took over the affairs of the Huamu Base, so that she could take care of Zhang Jijuan with peace of mind.
Maybe it's because she has a lot of debts and doesn't have to worry about it, Lu Ning was reluctant to trouble Qin You at first, but now all the trivial matters have been handed over to him, and she herself has been staying at the bedside.
Lu Ning didn't realize it herself, she even began to get used to relying on Qin You.
Three days later, Zhang Jijuan was wheeled into the operating room.
The surgery was a success. When Director Zhang came out of the operating room and said these five words with a tired face, Lu Ning was so excited that tears immediately fell, probably because she was so happy, she even turned around and gave Qin You a hug, which made Qin You stunned for a while.
Although Director Zhang came out, the operation was not over. The most critical part is done by him, but the assistant is responsible for the suturing and disinfection in the back. After waiting for a while, Zhang Jijuan was pushed out and sent into the observation room.
From this moment on, Lu Ning's heart was raised high. She knows that the real test begins now. The success of the surgery is nothing, what matters is the prognostic response.
After a 24-hour period of danger, Director Zhang announced that Zhang Jijuan was out of danger. After being transferred back to the intensive care unit, she quickly woke up.
QiΔ was developing in a good direction, but Qin You found that Lu Ning's face was getting worse day by day, and sometimes he didn't know what to think, and even his eyes were straight. And her words became less and less, except for forcing a smile in front of Zhang Jijuan, she was very silent at other times.
This state is not right.
In just a few days, Lu Ning looked a lot haggard. Qin You couldn't help but pull her out of the ward and found a quiet place, intending to talk to her.
But when it was time to speak, facing Lu Ning's puzzled gaze, Qin You realized that he didn't seem to have the skill of talking to people. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What are you worried about?" β
