Chapter 497: Chapter 497: There Will Always Be Times of Weariness_1

"Wen Nuan said, "That’s right. Back then, what happened to Chenchen left him feeling guilty, so he quit long ago."

It was because of this that Wen Nuan felt regret.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Though Bai Liyan is called a genius, he has his moments of failure too."

Wen Nuan couldn’t help but smile after hearing Ji Yunhuan’s words. "But... the people he healed were cases that were deemed impossible. No one else could have done it, right?"

Wen Nuan’s words made Ji Yunhuan pause.

She had forgotten about this incident.

Although Bai Liyan failed in Chenchen’s surgery, his previous successful surgeries all challenged the impossible. This was why he was called a genius. No one else could even see a glimmer of hope.

Hearing Wen Nuan say this, Ji Yunhuan knew that Wen Nuan truly hoped Bai Liyan would step in.

However...

Although Bai Liyan still considered himself a doctor, he had an insurmountable shadow in his heart.

After leaving Wen Nuan’s house, Ji Yunhuan went straight to the stadium. Bai Liyan was playing basketball. When he saw Ji Yunhuan walk in, he was a bit surprised and stopped. He walked over to her with a smile, "What brings you here suddenly?"

Even though Ji Yunhuan had called to ask where he was and said she was coming, given her recent relationship with Qi Cheng, he thought she was just saying it in passing.

Ji Yunhuan looked at his sweaty appearance. "You seem quite free!"

After leaving Wen Nuan’s house, she thought for a long time and decided to come see Bai Liyan.

Bai Liyan said, "With nothing to do, I came out to exercise. You shouldn’t stay cooped up at home all the time. It won’t be good for you."

"How could I possibly get bored?" Occasionally, he would also exercise.

Bai Liyan looked at her, thinking that Ji Yunhuan’s visit was not just as simple as checking on her. "Wait for me outside. I’ll go change my clothes." freewёbnoνel.com

"Okay."

Ji Yunhuan didn’t wait long outside. Bai Liyan, already changed, came out. He wore a casual suit with a T-shirt underneath, looking relaxed yet still handsome.

He warmly said to Ji Yunhuan, "There’s a café at the entrance. Let’s go there and sit?"

"Sure."

The two went to the café and ordered two cups of coffee. Ji Yunhuan looked at Bai Liyan and didn’t beat around the bush, explaining her purpose directly.

Bai Liyan was a bit surprised by her words. "You want me to operate on Mr. Zhou?"

Ji Yunhuan said, "Wen Nuan really hopes you can take action."

Bai Liyan gave a bitter smile. "Your friend is quite fearless. I already failed once, yet she still hopes I’ll take action. Isn’t she afraid..."

"That was just an accident, wasn’t it?" Ji Yunhuan looked at Bai Liyan seriously and said, "When Chenchen just left, I thought you were arrogant, using him as your experimental subject, and I hated you for a long time. But now I know I was wrong. From the beginning, you challenged what others thought impossible. You just wanted to give more people hope, and you succeeded. Although you failed with Chenchen, I have no right to deny everything about you. After all, if it weren’t for you back then, Chenchen might not have lived very long anyway."

Even before the surgery, it seemed Chenchen already sensed his days were numbered.

So, in retrospect, Ji Yunhuan felt her previous hatred towards Bai Liyan was unjustified.

She regretted thinking he deserved it when he chose to quit.

After all, he had been helping others all along, never even thinking about getting more rewards.

Hearing Ji Yunhuan’s words, Bai Liyan was truly surprised. He knew Ji Yunhuan genuinely wanted his help. However...

"I’m sorry, Yunhuan."

In the café, with the music flowing softly, Bai Liyan’s voice rang clear. Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "You don’t want to?"

Bai Liyan said, "You’re not the only one hoping I’ll return, but I’ve tried. I can’t do it."

He admitted he was pathetic, knocked down by a single failure.

But he really couldn’t find the courage to return to the operating table. Just thinking about the looks the patients’ families would give him after a failed surgery made him feel immense pressure. When he picked up the scalpel again, he couldn’t help but tremble.

He felt he could never go back and kept convincing himself to give up.

He was such a terrible man who would lose all strength upon entering a hospital. How could he still be a doctor?

In his eyes, Ji Yunhuan saw deep pain. She didn’t force Bai Liyan. But thinking of Wen Nuan, she couldn’t help feeling a bit unwilling.

Before going home, Ji Yunhuan bought several books on overcoming psychological shadows.

At home, the maid followed her with the books. "Ms. Lin came today."

Hearing this, Ji Yunhuan was a bit surprised. "Lin Xiang?"

"Yes."

Ji Yunhuan thought after the last incident, Lin Xiang would definitely hate Qi Cheng. She didn’t expect her to still show up here.

Did this woman have no dignity?

Though the one bullied last time was Lin Zhenyu, Qi Cheng’s attitude was clear to Lin Xiang as well. Yet, she didn’t seem to understand any of this.

In the living room, Qi Cheng held Ruirui in his arms, who had just fallen asleep. Ji Yunhuan returned later than expected. Ruirui had just cried for a long time. Qi Cheng had fed him milk for a while to coax him to sleep. Ruirui, now over five months old, was easier to soothe than he was two months ago.

Lin Xiang sat nearby, looking at Qi Cheng flatteringly. "Brother Qi Cheng."

If the maid hadn’t stopped her from approaching him, she would definitely have clung to him like before.

Qi Cheng didn’t speak, directly ignoring her. Lin Xiang, looking at Qi Cheng without giving up, said, "Since you have free time, why don’t we go to the movies? There’s a great one out now. I even bought tickets."

She held the tickets up, showing off. "They’re the best seats."

She couldn’t believe Qi Cheng wouldn’t be tempted at all.

She had heard that Qi Cheng had many women before marrying Ji Yunhuan. Even after being with Ji Yunhuan, he would sometimes get entangled with those women. She wasn’t giving up. No matter how good Ji Yunhuan was, she was just one woman. Qi Cheng would soon tire of her. Lin Xiang was waiting for that moment. She couldn’t believe she wouldn’t get any chance at all.

Before, she wanted to be Qi Cheng’s wife. Now, she had given up on that idea.

She didn’t want to be his wife anymore. She just wanted to be his woman.

People are like that. The more they can’t get something, the more they want it.
