Even though Shi Nuannuan had been holding back the pain in her heart, she could not control the tears that filled her eyes. She tried her best to hold them back, but her eyes still turned red.

In order to hide her reddened eyes, she lowered her head and tried her best not to let Zuo Weiyi notice her.

“Is that so?” Zuo Weiyi smiled. She did not notice the sudden change in Shi Nuannuan.

Gu Yansheng could tell that if Shi Nuannuan were to speak again, her voice would probably be choked with sobs, so he changed the topic.

“Weiyi, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll go buy you something.”

Zuo Weiyi looked at Gu Yansheng with a smile, “Uh, I don’t think I can eat yet.”

Zhong Shenghao had told her that because of the surgery, she had to wait for her wound to heal before she could eat.

Zhong Shenghao was concerned. He didn’t know this.

“You can’t eat? But you haven’t eaten since last night. Aren’t you hungry?”

Zuo Weiyi shook her head. “I won’t feel hungry. It’s just that…” she licked her dry lips, “I’m very thirsty.”

Since last night, she hadn’t taken a drop of water so she was feeling quite thirsty. But Zhong Shenghao said that she couldn’t drink water for the time being either.

“Don’t worry, she won’t feel hungry with the IV drip.” At this time, Zhong Shenghao also joined in.

Thanks to the change in topic, Shi Nuannuan finally calmed down.

Zuo Weiyi’s attention was fully focused on Zhong Shenghao and Gu Yansheng, so she didn’t notice Shi Nuannuan wiping away her tears.

“Then when can she eat?”asked Gu Yansheng.

“Maybe tonight or tomorrow.” Zhong Shenghao replied. This would depend on her current physical condition.

When she could take a breather, when she could eat, and when she could drink water.

“Then, I’ll go buy some food for Miss Shi,” said Gu Yansheng. He wasn’t very familiar with the Shi family, but he wasn’t unfamiliar with them. Still, he didn’t quite know how to address Shi Nuannuan.

Zhong Shenghao nodded.

After Gu Yansheng left, Zuo Weiyi looked back at Nuannuan.

“Nuannuan, is grandfather alright?”

Shi Nuannuan looked up again, and thankfully her expression had already returned to normal.

“He’s fine. He and Mommy might not be able to come today, so I’ll stay with you!”

Even though Shi Nuannuan pretended to be fine, the trauma in a person’s heart can still surface in the subtlest of ways.

That was why Zuo Weiyi could tell at a glance that Shi Nuannuan’s face was slightly tired and haggard.

However, Weiyi just thought that Nuannuan’s complexion was due to the lack of sleep.

Hence, she could not help but say, “Nuannuan, you should go back and rest too. I have given birth to the babies now. It’s fine as long as the nurse is here.”

“I’m fine. I can rest here too! You don’t have to worry about me,” said she softly as she threw Zuo Weiyi a reassuring smile!

Since she insisted, Zuo Weiyi didn’t force her anymore.

Instead, she turned to Zhong Shenghao. “Can I see the babies tomorrow?”

A day had passed since they were born but she had only managed to take a look at them in the operating room.

At that time, her consciousness was a little blurry, so she could not see the two little faces clearly.

She wanted to know who they looked like up close.

Hearing this, Zhong Shenghao thought for a while before replying.
