All night, Wan Donglin stayed with her.
These days, his patience was remarkable.
The pain didn't last more than half a day. By the next morning, Yan Xixi felt pretty much fine, though her face was still remarkably pale. She wanted to leave the hospital, but Wan Donglin disagreed, so she had to stay for a few more days.
「She didn't return home until three days later.」
That night, both of them were preoccupied but said little to each other.
Tossing and turning until midnight, Wan Donglin finally sat upright and grabbed her hand. "Xixi, don't worry, we'll have children in the future."
She held his hand but did not respond.
The next morning when she woke up, Yan Xixi saw that Wan Donglin was dressed impeccably, apparently set to embark on a long journey.
When he saw her open her eyes, he walked over to her, his tone gentle as he said, "Xixi, take good care of yourself. I have to go out for a while, and this trip may take a bit longer."
"Will it be very long?"
