Chapter 1836 I Don’t Want To Move
Others were inevitably affected by Qian Zhibin’s misfortune. Some tasks could not be accomplished just by relying on the Qian family. If the Liang family contacted the Qian family, some things would become passive. The Liang and Chen families had been so busy that they were unlikely even to have had time to drink water. Therefore, Lu Xingzhi did not create trouble for them.
Jiang Yao operated for a total of ten hours. It was daylight when she walked into the operating theater. The hospital was quiet when she emerged. There was no other sound in the corridor than the nurses and doctors on duty.
Du Chen was taken to a designated ward. Even though the surgery took a long time and was complicated, Jiang Yao found it a simple procedure. It was challenging to get Du Chen to stand up again, but Jiang Yao had no trouble with that.
She had arranged for Du Chen to be admitted to the ward around 11:30 p.m. When Jiang Yao exited Du Chen’s room, she encountered Lu Xingzhi, who had been waiting for quite some time.
“How long have you been here?”
The tiredness was too much for Jiang Yao to handle. She walked over to Lu Xingzhi’s shoulder and said, “I am exhausted. Am I getting old? Even after such a lengthy surgery last year, I was not exhausted. Why am I so exhausted after today’s surgery?”
Big Ke and Ah Lu stood off to the side, listening to a 20-year-old woman lamenting her age. They felt self-conscious.
“It is entirely my fault.” Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head. “It is finished now. Shall we go back now?”
“Let’s go back.”
Jiang Yao smiled and nodded. “Did you get a melon for me?”
Lu Xingzhi smiled kindly. Even though she was exhausted, she remembered to eat. He had no idea she had turned into a gourmand overnight.
“It is in the car.” Lu Xingzhi smiled and nodded.
He did not leave it at home because he figured she would not be able to eat anything else if she was weary.
“I am so tired that I don’t want to move anymore,” Jiang Yao said to Lu Xingzhi.
She was so exhausted that she almost closed her eyes and went asleep in a flash. “You will not be able to perform surgery for such a long time.” Lu Xingzhi’s heart ached, and he held her like a princess. Jiang Yao was so exhausted that she refused to move. She did not take another step. Lu Xingzhi carried her to the car, where she was buckled in. He handed her the box with the melon, which she could hold and eat. He only started the car and drove her home after that.

It was not far from the hospital to Lu Yuqing’s home. The journey took less than half an hour. When the car came to a halt at the entrance, Lu Xingzhi turned around to see Jiang Yao sleeping with the melon in her arms.
The box’s lid was still open. After eating half of it, she must have dozed off. The package was still in her hands and did not move.
So when Lu Yuqing heard a car in the courtyard, she went to the window and glanced outside. Lu Xingzhi had returned. Then, she saw him carrying someone in as soon as she went downstairs.
“She’s asleep?” Lu Yuqing approached to take a look and was amused right away. “Is she still carrying food while sleeping?”
