Chapter 325: 327. It’s a baby boy (47 updates)

As the doors to the operating room finally opened, Shen Qinglan immediately walked over. Eden looked at her and gave her a reassuring look before saying, "He’s been saved, and he should wake up by tomorrow."

Shen Qian and Shen Junyu instantly felt relieved upon hearing this.

Shen Qinglan looked at Fu Hengyi as he was wheeled out of the operating room, her eyes slightly red, but her lips were curving upwards.

For convenience in caring for them, Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan were arranged to be in the same hospital room.

Apart from some minor wounds, Shen Qinglan mainly suffered from excessive physical exhaustion; she’d be fine after a few days of rest. However, Fu Hengyi’s injuries were far more complicated.

"His injuries aren’t fatal, and none have hit any vital areas; the main issue is excessive blood loss," Eden explained. Somehow, Fu Hengyi was lucky enough that even the most severe injuries weren’t life-threatening. "But..." Eden paused.

"But, his leg is troublesome. The injury to his leg is severe, and the delay in treatment has caused irreversible damage. I can ensure that his leg will be fixed, but I can’t restore it to its original state."

No one understood the implications of this statement better than Shen Qian. His expression darkened as he asked, "Is there really no other way?"

Eden shook his head, "I’m sorry, that’s all I can do."

Throughout the conversation, Shen Qinglan didn’t say a word. To her, it didn’t matter if Fu Hengyi would never stand again for as long as he lived; she would stay by his side forever.

"Eden, thank you for your hard work. Go get some rest," Shen Qinglan finally spoke. Eden nodded, glanced at Shen Qian and Shen Junyu, and left the hospital room.

"Qinglan, you..." Looking at Shen Qinglan’s unusually calm face made Shen Qian all the more worried.

"Daddy, I’m alright. This outcome is already very good," Shen Qinglan said, gently looking at Fu Hengyi.

Now that Fu Hengyi had been found, the leaders placed great emphasis on this matter. After confirming Fu Hengyi’s condition, Shen Qian left first; he needed to return to the Military Region and report to his superiors.

After notifying the family, Shen Junyu stayed in the hospital room to keep company with Shen Qinglan.

"Lanlan, go take a rest. I’ll watch over Hengyi for you, I promise I’ll look after him well," Shen Junyu said, seeing the dark circles under Shen Qinglan’s eyes, his voice full of tenderness.

Shen Qinglan also knew she had already been willful once and didn’t want to worry her family anymore. She nodded and lay down on the bed next to Fu Hengyi. Perhaps it was because she knew Fu Hengyi was right by her side that Shen Qinglan slept very soundly this time.

**

Fu Hengyi woke up the next day. The first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was his hand being held. Looking over, he saw Shen Qinglan sleeping on the adjacent bed, facing him.

Fu Hengyi’s gaze immediately softened. Seemingly sensing his stare, Shen Qinglan soon opened her eyes. She stared fixedly at Fu Hengyi, her expression startled as if she had yet to grasp the reality. Suddenly, her lips lifted into a smile; the tenderness in her eyes and brows bloomed like a spring breeze.

Fu Hengyi’s lips curved slightly.

Shen Qinglan got off the bed and sat beside Fu Hengyi, "Hengyi, you’re okay now; that’s really good."

"I’m sorry for making you worry."

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters."

Eden walked to the hospital room door and, seeing this scene, quietly stepped back, sitting down on a chair in the corridor. Shen Junyu happened to come over and, seeing him, asked in confusion, "Why don’t you go in?"

Eden gestured for him to look inside. Shen Junyu glanced and then sat down next to Eden, "Hengyi’s leg truly cannot be restored to how it was before?"

Eden looked at the floor, "Yeah, his leg is badly injured. If it were possible, I would certainly heal it, but I’ve done all I can."

Shen Junyu didn’t say anything. He wasn’t familiar with Eden, had not even seen him before, and was unaware of Eden’s medical skills. Frankly, he did not trust Eden; he planned to call the best orthopedic surgeons in the country, and if that wasn’t enough, he would seek out the best in the world. He couldn’t believe that there was no one who could treat Fu Hengyi’s leg.

In the hospital room, Fu Hengyi had already learned about his condition from Shen Qinglan and was even calmer than she had anticipated.

"This is good too. I can retire from the base earlier, have some time to rest at home and spend time with you and the child," Fu Hengyi said with a smile, seemingly indifferent about the injury to his leg.

"Eden said that after recovery, it wouldn’t affect your normal activities, and you could even stay in the military... it’s just..."

"Just that I can’t stay with Sharp Blade anymore, right?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "If you feel upset, you can talk to me, Fu Hengyi, I promise I won’t laugh, and the child won’t laugh at you either."

Hearing this, Fu Hengyi couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle, "Wife, you’re really adorable."

"I’m not as upset as you think, I’m just a bit regretful." He had originally wanted to end his career with Sharp Blade on a perfect note, but now it seemed that wouldn’t be possible.

Fu Hengyi took Shen Qinglan’s hand, "I’m very grateful that I’m still alive, that I can be with you and our child, and that in the future I’ll still be able to hold you."

Before Shen Qinglan and the others had arrived, Fu Hengyi had truly thought he was not going to escape this time. Although King was dead, his own situation wasn’t much better. If Shen Qinglan and the others hadn’t arrived in time, even if BK’s men hadn’t finished him off, he might have bled to death.

Seeing that Fu Hengyi really wasn’t that upset, Shen Qinglan’s heart settled a little.

Eden came in to give Fu Hengyi a check-up, "The recovery is going well, but if you want your leg to fully recover..."

Fu Hengyi interrupted, "I know, Qinglan has already told me. I just want to know how long it will take if I want to stand up and move freely."

Eden thought about it and said, "More than four months."

Four months, just in time to recover before Shen Qinglan gave birth. Fu Hengyi was immediately satisfied; he had promised to take personal care of Shen Qinglan during her confinement.

"What about Qinglan, then? Her health is fine, right?"

"What do you mean fine." Shen Junyu had originally come in to check on Fu Hengyi’s condition and immediately got angry at the question, "She refused to go for a check-up before you woke up, and even sleeping had to be forced on her."

Shen Qinglan looked coldly at Shen Junyu, her eyes carrying a threat, which Shen Junyu completely ignored, rattling off Shen Qinglan’s noncompliance with her treatment.

The smile disappeared cleanly from Fu Hengyi’s face as he stared steadily at Shen Qinglan. She lowered her gaze and placed Fu Hengyi’s hand on her stomach, "Fu Hengyi, the child is fine," her tone carrying a hint of grievance.

Fu Hengyi’s intent to lecture vanished completely at Shen Qinglan’s words.

Shen Junyu saw it and knew, a hero is no match for the entreaties of a beauty; expecting Fu Hengyi to rebuke Shen Qinglan was out of the question. Rolling up his sleeves and preparing to scold her himself, he met Fu Hengyi’s cool gaze, and that was the end of that. His precious daughter-in-law, why bother himself?

He turned and left in a huff.

After Shen Junyu left, Fu Hengyi looked at Shen Qinglan, "I’m alright now, go for a check-up first."

Shen Qinglan had planned to do so anyway, so she did not object and followed Eden out.

Once everyone was gone, Fu Hengyi picked up the cell phone Shen Qinglan had left behind and called Commander Liu to report on his condition.

"I understand, take good care of yourself. I’ll apply for a report to the higher-ups on your behalf," said Commander Liu. For someone like Fu Hengyi, even if he wanted to retire, it would require not only Commander Liu’s consent but also the approval of the highest leaders. And considering the high-level secrets he was privy to and the military honors he had earned, the position Fu Hengyi would hold upon returning to Beijing Military Region would not be a low one.

Shen Qinglan’s check-up took a long time, and the normally composed Fu Hengyi began to fret as the minutes ticked by and she did not return.

When Shen Qinglan entered, there was a touch of worry in her eyes, causing Fu Hengyi’s expression to shift slightly. "Is it the child..." He dared not continue.

A faint smile spread across Shen Qinglan’s cool face as she shook her head, "No, the child is fine, very healthy." This child would surely be strong when they grew up; after all they had been through, they were unscathed. But just then, Shen Qinglan glanced at Fu Hengyi.

Fu Hengyi looked at her, "Qinglan, you can tell me the truth."

Shen Qinglan silently gazed at him, "This is the truth, the child really is fine." It was just that during the check-up, Eden had informed her of the baby’s gender. She felt that if Fu Hengyi, who so desperately wanted a daughter, found out that his long-awaited princess had turned out to be a boy, he’d be very disappointed.

So Shen Qinglan decided that she wouldn’t tell Fu Hengyi the gender of their child before the birth.

Seeing that Shen Qinglan did not appear to be lying, Fu Hengyi was immediately reassured. He pulled Shen Qinglan to sit by him on the bed and placed his hand on her stomach. After a while, he frowned and said, "Why isn’t she moving?"

He had faintly felt the thrum of the child inside her belly during the daze in the cave.

Shen Qinglan smiled gently and explained, "It’s still early. As the baby grows, the movements will become more frequent."

Fu Hengyi’s hand remained on Shen Qinglan’s stomach. After waiting a while and seeing that the little one didn’t seem to greet him, the father, he finally withdrew his hand in disappointment.
