I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!

"The tumor is benign."

Looking at the report, the doctor asked, "Do you often faint for no apparent reason?"

Jiang Xuxu nodded. "Only occasionally, is it related to this tumor?"

The doctor frowned and shook his head. "Not entirely. This tumor of yours has been growing for about ten years. It wasn't malignant to begin with; it only started to become malignant in recent years."

Seeing her confusion, the doctor continued to explain: "This kind of case is very rare, and it is mostly acquired. The number of times it occurs in a lifetime should not exceed seven."

It may be related to her long hours of working overtime and staying up late, which led to the tumor lesion.

Jiang Xuxu asked blankly, "Doctor, how many days do I... have left?"

The doctor shook his head, smiled, and said, "Fortunately, it's only in the middle stage. With surgery as soon as possible, there's still hope."

He then handed her a form: "Once your family member signs it, I'll arrange your surgery immediately."

"Doctor! I've only had four seizures," Jiang Xuxu quickly stood up. "I need to think about the surgery some more."

"This is the fifth time. If it recurs, your life could be in danger at any time... The success rate of the surgery is only 1%. Think it over carefully."

Jiang Xuxu understood.

It turns out that she wasn't knocked unconscious by Gu Jingshen's kiss, but rather it was a relapse of her illness. It was actually his kiss that prevented her from entering a hallucination.

But now is not the time for surgery; she has more important things to do.

"Thank you, doctor. Please keep this a secret and don't let my husband know..."

Leaving the consultation room, Jiang Xuxu returned to the ward dejectedly, where the doctor was performing a routine examination on Zhuo Manqing.

"Ms. Zhuo, your condition is recovering better than expected. As long as you remain stable for the next three days, you can be discharged in another two weeks."

"...Thank you, doctor."

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Xuxu finally smiled.

She approached the hospital bed and saw the fresh flowers and fruit placed beside it, guessing that Lin Tingran had already been there.

"Xuxu, sit down! Did you hear that? The doctor said I can be discharged in another two weeks!"

Zhuo Manqing held her hand, her emotions running high.

Jiang Xuxu quickly replied, "I heard you, Auntie. Now we can go home together."

"Yes, Ranran and Jingshen were here just now, but they went to pay the bill."

As Zhuo Manqing spoke, she pulled her to sit down. "Xuxu, you've worked so hard these past few days. When we get back, I'm thinking of helping them with their wedding. You absolutely have to come."

Jiang Xuxu was startled. "Gu Jingshen, did he agree too?"

"I just asked them what they thought, and Jing Shen had no objections."

Doesn't he have any objections...?

At this moment, Gu Jingshen and Lin Tingran walked in, chatting and laughing, unlike their cold and distant demeanor of the previous days.

"Xuxu, where did you go? Jing Shen and I couldn't find you anywhere."

Lin Tingran greeted her warmly as soon as she entered, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Gu Jingshen was no less impressive, his expression calm and composed.

Jiang Xuxu casually said, "I went to the restroom."

She looked a little awkward, and in order not to let them notice, she suggested going to see her younger brother and sister-in-law.

Gu Jingshen followed closely behind, saying, "I'll go with you."

The two left the ward one after the other. Zhuo Manqing was quite at ease and held Lin Tingran's hand affectionately.

"Ranran, Mom will make the decision about your marriage with Jing Shen."

"What about Xuxu?" Lin Tingran deliberately probed.

Zhuo Manqing squeezed her hand, "Silly girl, you said it yourself, they were just playing around, isn't it all over now?"

"But...she is also your daughter, your goddaughter."

"You're Mommy's precious baby. No one else can compare."

Zhuo Manqing gently patted the back of her hand, "Don't worry, my dear daughter, Mommy won't let anyone take away what belongs to you."

Lin Tingran buried her head in her mother's arms, a sly smirk on her face.

When her mother first met Jiang Xuxu, she took a liking to her and repeatedly asked her father to adopt her as his goddaughter.

During those three years, she treated Jiang Xuxu far better than she treated her own "biological daughter".

If she didn't already know the truth, how long would her mother have continued to pretend?

In the corridor, Jiang Xuxu did not go directly to her younger siblings' ward, but instead went to a less crowded area.

She thought it was time to talk to Gu Jingshen about divorce.

"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood," Gu Jingshen said.

"Let's get a divorce," Jiang Xuxu said frankly.

"Why? Why so suddenly?"

"There's no reason. I'll pay you back the money I owe you as soon as possible. After we get back, let's not contact each other anymore."

After saying that, Jiang Xuxu turned and left.

The Lin family had treated her well, and she didn't want to get entangled with Gu Jingshen anymore.

Besides, she didn't have much time to waste with him. Rather than getting entangled with each other, it was better to end things sooner rather than later.

Whether we separate now or a year from now, it's just a matter of time.

Gu Jingshen didn't understand why she suddenly brought up divorce again.

The agreement was supposed to last a year, but she brought it up at least three times in just two months.

This was when Aunt Lin's life was hanging by a thread.

He suddenly felt that Jiang Xuxu was being a bit ridiculous.

After visiting her younger siblings, Jiang Xuxu had dinner with her parents before returning to Zhuo Manqing's hospital room.

The two families did not meet; Gu Jingshen simply went over and greeted them.

At night, Lin Tingran was going back to the hotel to rest, and Gu Jingshen escorted her, while Jiang Xuxu stayed behind to continue taking care of Zhuo Manqing.

She had been wanting to ask her about the jade pendant, but found it difficult to bring it up at this moment.

Perhaps sensing that she was preoccupied, Zhuo Manqing took the initiative to ask, "Xuxu, is there something you want to tell me?"

Jiang Xuxu tightened her grip on the jade pendant, then suddenly looked up, as if she hadn't heard what she said clearly.

"Auntie, what did you just say?"

Zhuo Manqing smiled kindly, "You don't seem to be in good shape. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

The caring language was exactly the same as in high school.

Back then, the family was poor, and Jiang Xuxu and Jiang Rusheng went to school at the same time, often not having enough living expenses.

Every time she went to the Lin family, Aunt Lin would ask her if she had enough money, and then secretly put some hundred-yuan bills in her schoolbag.

Although Jiang Xuxu never used it, she always felt warm inside.

"Aunt……"

As soon as Jiang Xuxu opened her mouth, tears began to flow, and Zhuo Manqing quickly took out two tissues to wipe them away for her.

"Silly child, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did something upset you? Tell Auntie."

Jiang Xuxu sniffed, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "No, Auntie, I wasn't wronged, it's just..."

"But what's wrong?"

"I just think, if you were my mother... how wonderful that would be."

After saying this, she couldn't help but burst into tears again.

She wasn't crying on purpose; she just suddenly missed her biological parents.

I feel so choked up.

She really didn't want to lie alone on the operating table, without even her closest family member by her side.

"Silly girl, you can think of me as your mother."

Zhuo Manqing pulled her into her arms and comforted her softly.

"These past few days, you've stayed by my side every step of the way. Even Ranran couldn't do that. In my heart, I've long considered you my own daughter."

These words relieved Jiang Xuxu's previously pent-up frustration.

She wiped away her tears, took out the jade pendant in her hand, and asked, "Auntie, do you recognize this jade pendant?"
