She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

"What are you eating? It smells so good!" Mo Yan felt hungry just smelling the food.

My stomach started rumbling at just the right moment.

Gu Tingyu smiled and said, "The delicious Su-style braised pork is really fragrant. Would you like to try some?"

Su Mailou had already walked to the dining table, opened another lunchbox, and poured a bowl of millet porridge over.

"You just had surgery under general anesthesia and have just woken up, so you can't eat meat yet. Have some porridge first; if you want meat, I'll make it for you after you've recovered."

Gu Tingyu then remembered the doctor's instructions: "Yes, yes, the doctor said that you can only eat a small amount of liquid food when you wake up, and observe whether there is nausea or vomiting before adding other foods. Just bear with it for now."

Mo Yan swallowed hard and said helplessly, "Then you guys hurry up and finish eating, don't leave it here to tempt me."

Su Mairou couldn't help but laugh at his somewhat adorable, gluttonous childlike demeanor.

The atmosphere in the ward immediately relaxed, and the tense and sad atmosphere that had just filled the room vanished.

The doctor and nurses came in as well. Seeing that Mo Yan had started drinking porridge, they quickly told him, "Drink a little to tide you over first, and we'll gradually add more food as we observe you."

The doctor reviewed all the data, reiterated the precautions, and said that Mo Yan was out of danger and, apart from needing to rest his leg injury, was otherwise fine.

"But now I'm afraid I'll have to spend the New Year in the hospital."

Mo Yan's leg surgery was a major operation. He needs to be observed for at least 5-7 days after the surgery to check for redness, swelling, oozing, and pus discharge from the surgical incision.

After receiving proper care at the hospital, the skin wound has basically healed, and it will take about half a month to remove the stitches.

The doctor meant that, conservatively speaking, the minimum hospital stay would be a week, and to be on the safe side, a full two weeks would be more reliable.

Mo Yan quickly accepted the change; despite such a serious car accident, he survived both his life and his leg.

It's already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

As for not being able to go to Hvarf, he has gradually accepted it after a brief period of disappointment.

As long as you're healthy, there will be plenty of opportunities to go in the future.

Since he can't leave, it doesn't make much difference to him whether he stays at home or in the hospital. In any case, he can still live at his own pace and in his own time zone.

However, we'll need to hire someone to take care of things like cooking and hygiene.

Seeing that Mo Yan was deep in thought, Gu Tingyu quickly said, "The caregivers here have all been arranged. A lady is in charge of meals and all kinds of washing; a gentleman has also been arranged to assist with toileting and bathing during this period."

Although she was mentally prepared, Mo Yan still couldn't help but sigh inwardly upon hearing Gu Tingyu's words.

Not being able to go to Northern Europe, or having no freedom, are not big deals.

But it's really a bit embarrassing to need help even to go to the toilet.

As they were talking, the caregiver arranged by Gu Tingyu arrived; Gu Tingyu gave some instructions, and both of them had to stay at the hospital that night.

In addition to the sofa bed, the room also has two folding beds for resting.

Gu Tingyu said that Mo Yan had just undergone surgery today, and he would stay with him at the hospital, sleeping on a sofa bed.

If the situation stabilizes tomorrow and all indicators are confirmed to be normal, Mo Yan can eat normally and then go back to rest.

Mo Yan naturally disagreed. The doctor said he was fine and out of danger, so there was no need for his boss to stay with him.

Moreover, he knew Gu Tingyu's workload and the immense pressure he faced. He had many things to deal with every day, so there was no need for him to stay in the hospital and get proper rest.

But Gu Tingyu insisted on staying, because Mo Yan was not only his assistant, but also his good brother.

Mo Yan's parents have passed away, and he has no other close relatives. Gu Tingyu is the closest person to him in the world right now.

At such a moment, of course he had to be by Mo Yan's side.

Even though she knew in her heart that there probably wouldn't be anything urgent to deal with that night, the two caregivers staying behind would be enough to look after Mo Yan.

But his presence here has a different meaning.

Gu Tingyu hoped that Mo Yan would feel more at ease and experience more warmth and support in this world. He insisted on staying.

Su Maiqi also took out bedding, made up the sofa bed, and said to Mo Yan, "Just let Tingyu stay. You just had surgery. Even if he goes home, he'll be worried about you and probably won't be able to sleep soundly."

Stay here to make sure you're safe and sound; maybe he'll sleep even better that way. I'll drive my sister back first and bring you breakfast tomorrow morning.

Now that things had come to this point, Mo Yan knew that Gu Tingyu genuinely wanted to stay here with him; the other party truly treated him like a brother, even closer than a blood brother.

So they didn't say anything more and acquiesced.

Su Maiqi drove her sister home. As soon as they left the hospital, Su Mairou asked her sister, "Mr. Mo, aren't his family members here?"

It's really strange that no one from my family came to see me after I suffered such a serious injury and had surgery.

"I heard from Tingyu that Mo Yan's entire family has passed away. He has no siblings. There was a family tragedy before, and his parents left together. There were some serious disputes over the family property, and the relatives no longer keep in touch with him."

Over the years, Tingyu has been the closest person to me.

Su Mairou fell silent. No wonder the boss was keeping watch here so late at night.

Judging from this, Gu Tingyu, the brother-in-law, is a really good person. He is loyal and righteous, and it is reassuring for Qiqi to live with him.

I had never imagined that Mo Yan was in such a difficult situation. He looked refined and cultured, clearly from a good family.

Working under Gu Tingyu puts one in a position second only to the emperor, above thousands of others.

I originally thought they were the kind of lucky people who lived far from my life, with glamorous work and life.

It turns out he was practically an orphan. After such a terrible incident, he had no close relatives or friends by his side.

Su Mairou thought about herself and realized that the happiest and most carefree time of her life was when her father was still alive.

The family of four, all together, felt a deep sense of security.

Later, her father passed away, but her mother remained, and she held the family together.

In the past, no matter what big things happened in my marriage, I always felt that I had a way out and was not afraid.

When it came time to get a divorce, my mother was already seriously ill. I didn't want her to worry, but even on her sickbed, she still stood up for me.

Now, Mom is gone too.

But she also has Duoduo and her younger sister.

These are her motivation and hope for living in this world.

She dared to quit her job and start her own business because she wanted to give Duoduo a better life. Thinking of Duoduo filled her with the motivation to work hard.

During her entrepreneurial journey, she had Su Maiqi's support, both spiritual and practical.

She couldn't imagine what it would feel like to live alone in this world. But Mo Yan didn't seem pessimistic; he was like the sea, boundless and all-encompassing.

He kindly helped me several times.

But he must have moments of loneliness too. People are most vulnerable when they are sick, Su Mailou secretly resolved, during this time, she would also do her part to help Mo Yan in his most difficult period.

Consider it a way of repaying him for his past kindness.
