The operation lasted a long time, as if time was infinitely stretched in this tense atmosphere. Finally, the doctor walked out of the operating room a little tired, his steps were a little heavy, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He sighed softly, and then slowly said: "The operation was successful, and the patient is out of danger."

When Xia Qingcheng heard the news, her heart finally fell to the ground like a huge rock. Her legs went limp and she almost collapsed. She quickly held on to the chair next to her to steady herself. She let out a long sigh, her eyes revealing a complex mixture of fatigue and relief. Then, she walked towards the ward impatiently, her steps hurried and a little flustered.

When she saw Jiang Xiyan who was still in a coma, she was filled with mixed emotions. She slowly walked to the bedside, looking at Jiang Xiyan with tenderness and worry in her eyes. She bit her lip gently, frowned slightly, and her face was full of heartache. Her gaze lingered on Jiang Xiyan's pale face, then she slowly stretched out her hand, her fingers trembling slightly, and gently held Jiang Xiyan's hand, trying to give him some warmth. Her hands were a little cold, and when she touched Jiang Xiyan's hands, she subconsciously tightened them, as if she wanted to pass on her strength to him. "Jiang Xiyan, why can't you just look at me? I've always been by your side." She whispered, with endless resentment in her voice, her lips trembling slightly, and her voice a little choked.

Time passed slowly, Jiang Xiyan was still in a coma, and he did not stop calling Shen Jingyan. Xia Qingcheng stayed by his bed, looking tired and sad. Her eyes were full of bloodshot, and she looked ahead with empty eyes. From time to time, she looked at Jiang Xiyan, her eyes were full of worry and helplessness. She didn't know how long she could hold on, and she didn't know whether her efforts would be rewarded. She sighed softly, leaned forward slightly, supported her chin with her other hand, and her eyes revealed deep confusion.

Finally, Jiang Xiyan's fingers moved slightly. Xia Qingcheng looked at him in surprise, her eyes widened instantly, her body straightened unconsciously, and her hands unconsciously clenched the railings beside the bed, expecting him to wake up. However, when Jiang Xiyan slowly opened his eyes, his first words were: "Where is Jingyan?" Xia Qingcheng's heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly, her eyes dimmed instantly, her lips trembled slightly, she tried to hold back her tears, and pretended to be calm and said: "There is no Shen Jingyan here, only I have been taking care of you." Jiang Xiyan frowned, his eyes full of disappointment, he turned his head away and stopped looking at Xia Qingcheng. Xia Qingcheng stood there blankly, her eyes full of loss, her lips moved, wanting to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

Xia Qingcheng stood up, her body swaying a little. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Jiang Xiyan, I have given so much for you, why do you only think about her? You have a perforated stomach, why are you still thinking about her?" Her voice was trembling, with deep grievance and confusion. Her hands were clenched into fists, her body was shaking slightly, and her eyes revealed anger and helplessness.

"Xia Qingcheng, I know it's hard for you to take care of me, but you can't restrict my personal freedom." Although Jiang Xiyan was very weak, he still looked at Xia Qingcheng with cold eyes, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction and resistance. As he spoke, he tried hard to raise his hand, but only moved his fingers slightly.

"Look carefully, the person next to you is me, not her. Why can't you give me some of your love for her?" There was a hint of resentment and begging in Xia Qingcheng's voice. She took a step forward, approached Jiang Xiyan, and stared at him closely, her eyes full of desire.

"Enough! Stop talking." Jiang Xiyan interrupted Xia Qingcheng impatiently. He closed his eyes, frowned, and showed a painful expression on his face. His breathing became rapid and his body trembled slightly.

Xia Qingcheng looked at Jiang Xiyan who was on a hunger strike, and shook her head helplessly, her eyes full of heartache and helplessness. She knew that she was powerless, and in order to cheer Jiang Xiyan up, she decided to find Shen Jingyan. She asked around, running around everywhere, with an anxious look on her face. Finally, she found Shen Jingyan. She looked at Shen Jingyan, her eyes full of complex emotions, helplessness, jealousy, and a glimmer of hope. "Shen Jingyan, Jiang Xiyan was so sad for you that he drank too much and had a perforated stomach. He is on a hunger strike now and won't listen to anyone. I really have no choice but to come to you."

Shen Jingyan was filled with sadness when she heard about Jiang Xiyan's condition. Her brows furrowed, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes. She hesitated again and again, and finally decided to secretly go to the hospital to see Jiang Xiyan without telling Lin Yu.

When Shen Jingyan arrived at the hospital and saw Jiang Xiyan lying weakly on the bed, her heart ached. She unconsciously quickened her pace and walked to the bedside. Jiang Xiyan heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Shen Jingyan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and his lips slightly raised.

"Jingyan, you're here." Jiang Xiyan's voice was weak and hoarse.

Shen Jingyan walked to the bedside and looked at Jiang Xiyan, her eyes full of concern. "Why are you so stupid? Why don't you take good care of yourself?" She gently held Jiang Xiyan's hand, her eyes full of worry.

"You..." Jiang Xiyan thought he was dreaming, and after a few seconds he came back to his senses. His eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, "You really came."

At this moment, they were in a hospital ward. The white walls looked particularly cold, the light blue curtains fluttered gently in the breeze, and the air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, which made the scene look particularly solemn. The sunlight shone through the window onto the bed, but it could not warm the coldness in Jiang Xiyan's heart.

"You wanted me to come and see you, so I can't torture your body like this!" There was a hint of blame and heartache in Shen Jingyan's voice.

Jiang Xiyan supported himself on the bed with his hands, trying to sit up, but the pain in his abdomen forced him to give up. A trace of pain appeared on his face, and his brows were furrowed, but soon replaced by joy, "It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here..."

"Why did you drink so much? Now you have a perforated stomach. Are you feeling better?" Shen Jingyan's eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes were full of concern and worry. The ward was quiet, with only the slight "beep" sound from the ECG monitor, as if reminding people of the fragility of life.

"Seeing you and Lin Yu getting engaged, I feel sad..." Jiang Xiyan endured the pain and forced a smile, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"You can't drink so much even if you feel uncomfortable, right?" Shen Jingyan's tone was full of helplessness.

"I know, but I can't control myself." Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan with tenderness in his eyes, "Jingyan, I miss you so much."

"You're already married, stop thinking about me and treat Xia Qingcheng well, okay?" Shen Jingyan's voice was soft but full of determination. She lowered her head slightly, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

"No, the person I love is you," Jiang Xiyan became emotional. He held Shen Jingyan's hand tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go. "I married her only as a temporary measure."

"What kind of expedient plan is this, Jiang Xiyan? Are you going to divorce me and marry her? Whatever the plan is, we are legal." Xia Qingcheng said dissatisfiedly, her eyes full of anger and grievance. At this time, Xia Qingcheng stood at the door of the ward, her face pale, holding a thermos lunch box tightly in her hands, her fingers whitened due to the force.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Xiyan's expression suddenly turned cold, and he pulled his hand away. "Who asked you to come?"

"I'm your wife. Why can't I come yet?" There was a hint of questioning in Xia Qingcheng's voice, and her eyes were slightly red.

"Get out! I don't want to see you now." Jiang Xiyan's tone was cold and resolute.

"Xi Yan, don't say that about Qingcheng, she's still pregnant with your child?" Shen Jingyan persuaded, her eyes full of reluctance and worry. The atmosphere in the ward became more tense, as if a fierce quarrel would break out at any time.

Xia Qingcheng's eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in them, as if they would burst at any moment. "Jiang Xiyan, how could you be so cruel? I have given so much for you, and now I am pregnant with your child, but you treat me like this for her." Her body trembled slightly, and tears finally fell.

Jiang Xiyan frowned slightly, with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, he said, "You go out first. I have something to say to Shen Jingyan alone."

Xia Qingcheng's body trembled slightly. She bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of grievance and unwillingness. But looking at Jiang Xiyan's resolute expression, she knew that she could not stay any longer. She turned slowly and walked towards the door of the ward with heavy steps. When she passed by Shen Jingyan, she cast a sad look.

After Xia Qingcheng left, the atmosphere in the ward became more solemn. The air seemed to be frozen, filled with a depressing atmosphere. Jiang Xiyan slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Jingyan. His eyes were full of pain and confusion. His eyes were like a child lost in the darkness, full of helplessness and longing. "Jingyan, what should I do? I don't want to lose you." His voice was low and hoarse, with deep despair and helplessness.

Shen Jingyan sighed softly, her eyes full of helplessness, that helplessness was like a pool of deep water, with no bottom to be seen. She lowered her head slightly, avoiding Jiang Xiyan's fiery gaze, and said softly: "Xiyan, you have made a choice, you must take responsibility now. You can't be so selfish anymore." Her voice was very soft, but every word hit Jiang Xiyan's heart hard.

"I understand, but Jingyan..." Jiang Xiyan's voice trembled slightly, his eyes were fixed on Shen Jingyan, his eyes were full of pain and attachment, that attachment was like a burning flame, hot and strong.
