Gu Zhi: "It's nothing much, just that when you perform surgery on Old Master Gu tomorrow, I will be outside the operating room."
"Ah, you will be outside the operating room? Why are you so concerned about Old Master Gu?"
Gu Zhi: "He is my grandfather."
"You are the granddaughter that Old Master Gu found a few days ago, and now also President Lu's wife, Gu Zhi?!"
Gu Zhi nodded her little head.
"No wonder." Dean Qiao also nodded.
"Originally, heart valve surgery has become very mature, and since you are a top expert in this field, doing this surgery is completely overkill."
Gu Zhi said again.
"But the patient is so old, which makes the surgery high-risk, and since it is my grandfather, I will definitely be a bit more worried."
"When the time comes, if there is any accident, call me immediately."
If there really were an accident, she might not necessarily be able to save him.
After all, she is not a god.
But she would do her best to rescue her grandfather.
"Understood, understood." Dean Qiao nodded repeatedly.
……
Uncle Zhou knew she wouldn't be returning at night, but Lu Yanshen did not.
After all, they are a married couple.
In the evening, Gu Zhi still sent a text message to Lu Yanshen, saying that her grandfather would have surgery at eight o'clock tomorrow, so she would not be returning tonight and would stay at the hospital.
Half an hour later, Lu Yanshen replied with a "Good".
At night, it was past ten o'clock when Lu Yanshen returned home.
After taking a shower, he unconsciously slept on that small spot at the edge of the bed again.
Once he lay down, he realized that Gu Zhi was not there tonight, so he did not need to sleep like that.
He moved a bit toward the middle of the bed.
It was much more comfortable.
But thinking that when Gu Zhi returned, he would definitely be sleeping on the edge again.
He didn't want to have to adapt again then.
He looked at the ceiling and sighed almost inaudibly.
Then, he moved back to the edge of the bed to sleep.
……
The next day, Lu Yanshen saw that he only had work scheduled at eight o'clock.
But he had time before eight.
Therefore, Lu Yanshen came to the hospital at seven in the morning to visit Old Master Gu.
Lu Yanshen even brought breakfast for Gu Zhi from home.
Old Master Gu had to fast from food and water, so he could only watch Gu Zhi eat.
But Old Master Gu was still very happy that Lu Yanshen could come today.
Actually, the Gu family chef had also prepared breakfast and had it sent over.
However, Gu Zhi took a look and found that the breakfast made by the Lu family chef was more to her liking.
Of course, she didn't wrong herself at all and buried her head in eating the breakfast Lu Yanshen brought.
Lu Yanshen talked to Old Master Gu while watching Gu Zhi eat with her head down.
He noticed that Gu Zhi had removed her nail polish.
Now her nails were neat and extremely rounded.
He didn't think much of it.
He just felt that Gu Zhi's fingertips were more pink and tender, and her hands looked better than when she had nail polish on.
It wasn't until seven-fifty that Lu Yanshen left the hospital.
Old Master Gu's surgery took nearly six hours before he was wheeled out and sent to the intensive care unit.
The surgery was very successful, and no accidents occurred.
But because Old Master Gu was old, he hadn't woken up yet and was still in the danger period.
Old Master Gu didn't wake up until the next afternoon.
After another day, once it was determined that all indicators were normal, he was transferred out of the intensive care unit and back to the VIP hospital room.
Gu Zhi had stayed at the hospital for three consecutive nights. Once Old Master Gu was transferred back to the VIP hospital room and was out of danger, he urged Gu Zhi to go home.
In any case, he did not allow Gu Zhi to stay at the hospital anymore.
He even said: "You and Yan Shen just registered your marriage, you cannot keep living outside like this."
Gu Zhi didn't really care.
She and Lu Yanshen were in an arranged marriage and had no feelings for each other.
Besides, Lu Yanshen didn't do that kind of thing anyway.
What did it matter whether she went back to live or not?
But Old Master Gu said again:
"Didn't you promise Grandfather that you wouldn't watch over me every day?"
"Grandfather has passed the danger period now and won't have any more accidents. From now on, you really only need to come to the hospital to see me every day."
Gu Zhi had no choice but to return to the Banshan Villa to live.
That night, she slept soundly.
Unconsciously, she only left a small space for Lu Yanshen to sleep.
Lu Yanshen, who had only slept in that small space for the three nights she was away, was perfectly adapted to it.
……
The next day, Gu Zhi slept until nearly ten in the morning before waking up.
Since the day of her grandfather's surgery, she hadn't slept well.
Because she had to watch over her grandfather, she was worried he might have an accident, so she stayed alert while sleeping in case she needed to get up immediately.
Now that her grandfather was completely out of the danger period and she had returned to live here.
And since there was no need to go to the hospital to see her grandfather so early, she naturally had a good sleep.
She slept until she woke up naturally.
It wasn't until ten-thirty that Gu Zhi took the elevator downstairs.
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Lu Yanshen sitting on the sofa reading a magazine with his legs crossed.
She was very surprised: "You didn't go to work?"
Ever since she registered her marriage with him, she hadn't seen him after eight o'clock.
Lu Yanshen glanced at her without any expression, his cold eyes returning to the magazine before he said faintly: "I am on leave today."
Gu Zhi was even more shocked.
This person would actually give himself a day off.
She saw him so busy every day, not even resting on Saturdays and Sundays, and had started to suspect he was a workaholic.
However, even though he was very busy every day, he had still arrived at the hospital promptly at seven in the morning to see her grandfather these past two days.
Of course, he also brought her breakfast along the way.
Thinking that she hadn't eaten breakfast yet and was starving, Gu Zhi didn't say another word to Lu Yanshen and busied herself maneuvering her wheelchair to the dining room.
The maid hurried to bring over the exquisite breakfast that had been kept warm.
Uncle Zhou stretched his neck to look toward the living room, and seeing that their Mister was not paying attention to this side, he whispered quietly to their Madam:
"Over the years, Mister has given himself two days off every month. The time is always on the fourteenth and fifteenth of every month."
Gu Zhi nodded her little head while eating a xiaolongbao.
Today was already the fourteenth, no wonder he was on leave.
But to only give himself two days off every month...
Anyway, she couldn't stand this kind of life.
She wished she could have a day off every day.
But since she was idle anyway, Gu Zhi started chatting with Uncle Zhou:
"Does he not give himself time off on other days? For example, during Chinese New Year or holidays, he should give himself extra time off, right?"
Uncle Zhou shook his head: "Unless these days happen to fall on the fourteenth or fifteenth of the solar calendar, Mister is still working."
Gu Zhi couldn't help but open her mouth.
He really is a workaholic.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Zhi controlled her wheelchair and slowly came out of the dining room.
Just as she came out, she heard Lu Yanshen say without even lifting his eyelids: "When are you going to see Grandfather today? I'll go with you."
Thinking that he was on leave today and had plenty of time, Gu Zhi naturally didn't say anything to tell him not to come along.
"We can go now," Gu Zhi said.
She was already up and had finished breakfast, so she had nothing else to do at home.
Only then did Lu Yanshen put down the magazine and stand up.
He was tall with long legs.
Especially those legs.
Gu Zhi looked on with admiration.
She couldn't help but say: "Those legs are really long. Longer than my life."
