Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“But what? Tell me!” Shangguan Ning asked anxiously. She had received way too many mental blows today and had no control over her emotions. She was extremely nervous. She hoped that there wasn’t any more bad news in store for her. She waited for Jing Yichen to say something.

Jing Yichen thought for a moment and decided to tell Shangguan Ning what was on his mind. If Zhao Anan really could not have a child in the future or if she chose to not get married, he would be willing to look after her, all of her life because she was his sister. He would need Shangguan Ning to be aware of all these possibilities.

“But, she may not be able to get pregnant in the future. Also, if the cancer relapses, she would have to have her ovaries removed.”

Hearing Jing Yichen’s words, Shangguan Ning become really sad. She suddenly thought of all the times when Zhao Anan would say, ‘I don’t see myself getting married.’

Shangguan Ning had always thought that Zhao Anan was just saying all this in jest. She had no idea how serious Zhao Anan actually was.

Zhao Anan must’ve known that this disease would negate her chances of getting pregnant, so she had decided not to get married, altogether.

For a woman, it was heartbreaking to not be able to have her own children or her own family.

Had it not been Zhao Anan’s easygoing personality and jovial nature, she might have gone into depression.

Shangguan Ning couldn’t help but feel dejected. She mumbled. “Mu Qing is from a family of brilliant doctors. Could they not do anything about it?”

Jing Yichen shook his head. “No, they couldn’t. This German hospital is a top-notch cancer care center in the world. The dean of this hospital has won a Nobel Prize in medicine. The hospital possesses state of the art equipment, when it comes to oncology. Mu Qing’s grandpa is very experienced, but he is not an oncologist. After all, we are yet to find a cure to cancer.”

“It was Mu Qing who medically terminated Anan’s pregnancy.”

Shangguan Ning was astonished, “Mu Qing? Who was it who got her pregnant?”

Jing Yichen sighed, smiling bitterly. “That would be Mu Qing too!”

Shangguan Ning asked, in utter disbelief, “What?!”

Shangguan Ning thought of the times whenever Zhao Anan met Mu Qing, and tried to remember if she ever sensed an undercurrent between them. She hadn’t. They both would fool around with each other and joke around, just like friends do. She had no inkling that they were a couple.

Jing Yichen understood that it all sounded hard to believe but that was the truth.

“That was the first surgery that Mu Qing ever did. It was he, who discovered the cancer cells in Anan’s ovaries. They were both young back then, and were scared of their families. They knew that they would be blamed, when she got pregnant. They decided to abort the child immediately and you know the rest.”

“And will they ever…”

Jing Yichen knew what his wife wanted to ask, so he said, “Mu Qing has a legacy to carry forward and the responsibility of a hospital, he definitely can’t marry an infertile woman. After his parents got to know about him and Anan, they disapproved. Anan didn’t want to hold him back from his work and family, so they decided to separate. They are friends now.”

Mu Qing had asked about Zhao Anan when Shangguan Ning had visited the hospital, the other day. She had thought that he was just asking her casually . Now she understood that he was genuinely worried about Anan.

Zhao Anan looked much better, the following day.

She had had a good night’s sleep and was done with all her therapy sessions. She just needed rest.

This hospital had a fully equipped kitchen and ensured that all the patients ate healthy. Nutritious meals were served to all. Zhao Zhao was happy to note that Zhao Anan, who didn’t have much of an appetite all these weeks, was eating better, with Shangguan Ning around.

Zhao Zhao was very happy.

Zhao Anan looked lively and was more of a chatterbox, since Shangguan Ning had arrived. She never stopped smiling.

The two girls had so much to catch up on. The ward would now echo with their laughter and they talked for hours on end.

Zhao Zhao was so glad that her daughter had found a good friend in Shangguan Ning. She took Shangguan Ning’s hands in hers, and told her on more than one occasion, that she was a lucky star, for Zhao Anan and for Jing Yichen.

Shangguan Ning didn’t say anything. She only smiled. In fact, it was Zhao Anan and Jing Yichen who were her lucky stars.

Due to his hectic work schedule, Jing Yichen stayed in Germany for only one more day, before he flew to Australia.

Shangguan Ning kept Zhao Anan company in Germany, for a week. Her heart was finally at peace, seeing Zhao Anan getting better each day. She decided it was time for her to head back home and to work.

Zhao Anan needed to be under observation in the hospital, for another month. Zhao Zhao thanked Shangguan Ning for taking the time to to see Zhao Anan and spending so much time with her.

Shangguan Ning was glad that she had had a week’s break, because as soon as she got to work, trouble awaited her.

Tang Yun stood next to the reception desk, oblivious to all the staff who stared at her while she waited.

The receptionist quickly made a call to Shangguan Ning, who was the assistant to the President.

“Assistant Shangguan, a Ms.Tang is here at the first floor, asking for you. She says that she is the President’s fiancée and he has asked her to come here today.”

Shangguan Ning didn’t expect that Tang Yun would visit the company again, and even ask for her.

She paused for a moment and then said, “I see. Okay, I will come down and see her now.”

Shangguan Ning had no idea what was it that Tang Yun wanted to see her about. Tang Yun had claimed that she was the fiancée of the President so that everyone at the Enterprise knew who she was. Shangguan Ning handled all these issues with ease now. She remained calm and composed.

She wondered why Jing Yichen had invited Tang Yun to the enterprise, especially since he was travelling. She knew that the relationship between Tang Yun and Jing Yichen, was purely platonic.

She was also aware that whenever Tang Yun faced a problem, she got in touch with Yichen. Jing Yichen would then come to her rescue.

Jing Yichen provided Shangguan Ning with all details, whenever he met Tang Yun. He never left out anything. This was why Shangguan Ning was not insecure about her relationship with Jing Yichen any more.

What she couldn’t understand was why Jing Yichen considered Tang Yun to be this important.

When Shangguan Ning came to the first floor, she ran into Mi Xiaoxiao who was in the lobby.

Mi Xiaoxiao pulled Shangguan Ning to the side, the minute she saw her. She asked her, “Haven’t seen you for a week! Where have you been?”

Shangguan Ning didn’t want to lie to her, but she couldn’t reveal anything about Zhao Anan either, so she replied casually, “I was abroad, for some work. What happened?”

Mi Xiaoxiao gave Tang Yun a sideways glance, and said disdainfully, “Look at her, so obsessed with the President. She has come here almost every day this week. She must be the President’s fiancée, but how does she not know that he is travelling and is not in the office. Honestly, I have never seen the President even acknowledge her. She must be really thick skinned, to come here every day, receive no acknowledgement, and still be okay with it. What a waste of a pretty face.”
