Chapter 202 - 79: Transferring to the VIP Ward, Jing Shiyun’s Surgery (Part 2)

Even though Jing Shiyun needed surgery because of her own fall, as her husband, Jiang Bowen couldn’t eat or drink while she was forced to.

Shen Yanzhi stopped and grabbed Jiang Li’s hand. "Forget not eating, I’d even have the baby for you if I could."

They say giving birth is like having a brush with death for a woman. If it were possible, he wished he could be the one who was pregnant.

’That way, Jiang Li wouldn’t have to suffer.’

Jiang Li looked at Shen Yanzhi like he was an idiot. "You don’t even have a uterus. How are you going to have a baby?"

Shen Yanzhi awkwardly touched the tip of his nose. "I was just using a figure of speech."

Jiang Li smacked her lips and pulled Shen Yanzhi toward the elevators. "Alright, stop dawdling. Let’s go eat. I’m starving."

The hospital had a cafeteria, but it was past mealtime, so they had to eat out.

In the end, Jiang Li found a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of beef noodles, a bowl of hot and sour glass noodles, and a bowl of noodles with fried bean sauce.

After rattling off her order, she saw Shen Yanzhi hadn’t moved a muscle and couldn’t help but say, "I ordered all of this for myself. If you want to eat, order your own food."

Shen Yanzhi looked at her in disbelief. "You can eat all that?"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. "Never doubt a pregnant woman’s appetite."

’Especially when I’m this hungry. I have to eat a little more.’

’Alright, the truth is, I wanted to eat all three and just couldn’t choose.’

Shen Yanzhi expressed serious doubts about her claim.

Mainly because Jiang Li usually didn’t eat much.

But when Jiang Li finished all three bowls, Shen Yanzhi’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. "You really finished it all?"

Except for the broth, she’d eaten every last bit.

Jiang Li leaned back lazily in her chair, rubbed her belly, and let out a small burp. She glanced at the shocked Shen Yanzhi and said dismissively, "Pick your jaw up off the floor before you dislocate it."

Shen Yanzhi smiled dotingly. "A good appetite is a blessing."

With that, he took out his phone to pay, but Jiang Li had already beaten him to it.

’No matter how small the gain, it’s still something. When I’m with Shen Yanzhi, I can’t possibly let him pay.’

Shen Yanzhi couldn’t help but sigh. "I’m discovering that when I’m with you, I really don’t get a chance to pay."

Jiang Li tilted her head and smiled. "Didn’t you say your teeth were bad? Since your teeth are bad, of course you won’t get a chance to pay."

Shen Yanzhi stood up and offered his hand to Jiang Li. "Let’s go, my dear sponsor."

Jiang Li didn’t stand on ceremony. She took his hand, using his strength to pull herself up, and patted his shoulder. "Not bad. Keep up the good work."

Back in the hospital room, the three of them quickly moved everything into the VIP room.

As for Jing Shiyun, Jiang Bowen pushed her over in a wheelchair.

Because the fall had been so sudden and she had been wearing pants, the nurse had cut them off. She now had Jiang Bowen’s jacket draped over her.

Before moving in, Jing Shiyun hadn’t thought much about the other hospital rooms.

But once she was inside and saw the furnishings and amenities, her first reaction was, "A VIP room can’t be cheap, can it?"

A regular room already costs one or two hundred a day, let alone a VIP room. It probably costs thousands, or even tens of thousands.

Even though the family had money, it should be spent wisely. It wasn’t as if a regular room was unlivable.

Jiang Li reassured her, "Don’t worry, this one’s very cheap."

’Looks like I’ll have to talk to the hospital director and cook the books to fool Jing Shiyun.’

’Otherwise, if she found out I spent 800 billion to buy the hospital, she’d chew my ear off.’

’Jing Shiyun hasn’t had her surgery yet, and I don’t want this to affect her mood.’

Jiang Bowen put all the toiletries in the bathroom and hung the spare clothes in the closet. "I have to say, the environment in this VIP room is really something else."

Besides the hospital bed, there were two separate companion beds. Even the blue and white color scheme was enough to lift one’s spirits.

Jing Shiyun shot Jiang Bowen a disdainful look. "Why else would they call it a VIP room?"

"GRUMBLE—"

Jing Shiyun subconsciously clutched her stomach. Jiang Li’s heart ached for her. After a moment of thought, she asked, "It’s still early. How about we play a round of mahjong on our phones?"

’A distraction would make her forget she was hungry.’

Jing Shiyun licked her lips. "That could work."

His own daughter had spoken; how could Jiang Bowen refuse?

So, the four of them took out their phones. Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi sat on the companion bed furthest inside, while Jiang Bowen sat on the one in the middle.
