Two hours later, Lan Muwei was wheeled out, and Tang Wan and Qiao Yufan rushed over almost simultaneously.
Lan Yuxi shook her head helplessly, keeping close behind her mother, afraid that any sudden excitement might cause another accident.
"Does it hurt?"
"Does it hurt?"
Tang Wan and Qiao Yufan asked at the same time.
Lan Muwei smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt. Dean Hao said that with my physical condition, I'll be able to move freely within seven days at most."
"You!" Tang Wan smiled helplessly, "Go and rest quickly."
"I want to wait here for Hanyi too."
"No, Hanyi will need at least three more hours. You need to rest right after surgery," Qiao Yufan glanced at the operating room, "I'll take you back first, and come back later."
"I'll do it. You stay here with Hanyi," Lan Mushang took Lan Zixin's hand and walked quickly out of the elevator.
"Big brother, you're back!" Lan Muwei smiled and waved the hand that wasn't connected to the IV.
Lan Mushang smiled, "You've worked hard. I rushed as fast as I could but still couldn't make it in time to see Hanyi into the operating room."
"You're so busy, it's already great that you could come back. He'll be very happy to see you when he comes out of surgery."
"Let's go, I'll stay with you for a while, and then I'll come back," Lan Musi nodded slightly to the nurse, and the group helped push Lan Muwei into the elevator.
As soon as Lan Mushang entered the elevator, he frowned. Outside the elevator, Lan Musi clutched his waist and, enduring intense pain, rushed into the elevator just as the doors were closing.
"Third brother, the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet, why are you starting to feel pain?"
Lan Mushang turned his head, "You're in pain too?"
"Yes."
The brothers looked at Lan Muwei simultaneously. Lan Muwei smiled palely, "It was my request. I asked for very little anesthetic because I wanted to stay awake and accompany Hanyi. I didn't expect to drag you both into this."
Lan Mushang smiled, "We're brothers, after all. We share fortunes and hardships together."
Outside the elevator, Zheng Peipei parted her lips in confusion, "Yuxi, your second brother..."
Lan Yuxi pulled her away from Qiao Yufan and whispered, "My third brother must be in pain, and then my eldest and second brothers felt it."
Zheng Peipei nervously squeezed her fingers, "Will it hurt a lot?"
"It should hurt a lot. Otherwise, my eldest brother wouldn't insist on accompanying my third brother to the ward. He's afraid my mom will worry if she sees him."
"I'll go see them."
Lan Yuxi smiled, "Look how worried you are. Go ahead, I'll cover for you."
Zheng Peipei nodded gratefully and quickly entered the stairwell.
Seeing Zheng Peipei leave, Tang Wan asked suspiciously, "Where did Peipei go?"
"To the restroom. She'll be back shortly."
Tang Wan sighed softly, "Peipei has been more and more preoccupied these past few days. You're the only one she talks to intimately. You should guide her more. It wasn't her fault what happened in Daliang Mountain, she doesn't need to blame herself so much."
"Yes, I'll spend more time talking with her."
Hearing the conversation between mother and daughter, Qiao Yufan walked over quickly, "The one who tied the bell must untie it. After Hanyi gets through these few days, Peipei and I will have a good talk."
Lan Yuxi smiled mysteriously, "She's not just upset about what happened in Daliang Mountain."
Qiao Yufan: "What else? Is it about her grandfather?"
"No, I'm just suspecting it now. I'll know in a few days."
Tang Wan shot her an exasperated look, "My heart is burning like oil, and you're still being mysterious!"
Lan Yuxi smiled and linked her arm around her mother's, "Hanyi will be perfectly fine, Mom, please rest assured. In another twenty-odd days, Hanyi will be discharged. Then he can attend classes and play with Zhaozhao and Mumu together."
The sadness in Tang Wan's eyes quickly turned to hope, "They can play together, but if they attend classes together, Hanyi might get tired. We'll need to find a tutor for him separately."
Lan Yuxi nudged her mother and said with a smile, "Let's ask Hanyi's opinion when he's better."
Tang Wan understood instantly and looked apologetically at Qiao Yufan, "Yufan, don't misunderstand. I just spoke without thinking. Don't worry, I won't interfere with Hanyi's life in the future."
Qiao Yufan smiled, "Mom, I don't know anything except my brute strength. Hanyi will still trouble you to teach him in the future."
Tang Wan smiled with relief. So far, her daughters-in-law were all quite satisfactory. As Tang Wan was smiling, her peripheral vision caught Lan Haolin smoking in the smoking room, and her expression immediately changed.
"Xi'er, your father is smoking again!"
Lan Yuxi's mouth twitched. It wasn't just her father in the smoking room, but also her husband!
"Dad is just nervous. Let him smoke. When Hanyi gets better, tell him that he won't smoke if Hanyi can't smell the smoke."
"Sigh..." Tang Wan sighed softly and said no more.
Qiao Yufan glanced at her watch, "Mom, Yuxi, I'll go and check on Muwei. Call me if anything happens here."
"Let Zixin accompany you," Lan Yuxi beckoned to Lan Zixin, who was playing with Zhaozhao and Mumu.
Lan Zixin patted the heads of the two little ones and walked over quickly.
Lan Yuxi winked at Lan Zixin, "Zixin, please accompany Third Sister-in-law to see Third Brother."
Lan Zixin received the signal and quickly took Qiao Yufan's hand into the elevator.
Tang Wan shook her head helplessly, "When did Zixin become so impatient?"
"She's eager to come back and look after Hanyi," Lan Yuxi glanced at Nan Xiao, who was smoking with her father, and gave Zhaozhao and Mumu a look.
The two little ones glanced into the smoking room and ran over holding hands.
Seeing the children running towards them, Nan Xiao and Lan Haolin quickly put out their cigarettes and walked out.
Mumu sniffed, "Hmm~ Smelly, it smells awful!"
Nan Xiao smiled and picked her up, "Daddy was wrong, I won't smoke anymore."
Mumu whimpered, covering her small nose.
Zhaozhao frowned, "Smoking is bad. Daddy and Grandpa shouldn't smoke anymore."
Lan Haolin bent down and picked him up, "Grandpa smokes because he's too nervous. Grandpa promises you, he won't smoke anymore."
Zhaozhao blinked his eyes, "Grandpa, you must keep your word!"
"I must!"
Zhaozhao reached out and stroked his grandpa's furrowed brow, "Grandpa, don't worry about little brother. He'll get better soon. When he's better, sister and I will play with him."
Lan Haolin smiled with relief, "Zhaozhao said so much to comfort grandpa, it's really rare."
Zhaozhao turned his red face towards Lan Yuxi.
Lan Yuxi walked over with a smile and took Zhaozhao into her arms, "Dad, you go and accompany Mom. She's more nervous than you are right now."
Lan Haolin sighed and picked up a bottle of mineral water to rinse his mouth before daring to go find Tang Wan.
