“Some people pray that I will be like this for the rest of my life, but I have to show them otherwise. I can fight them when I’m disabled, and I can also stand up and destroy everything they wished for.”
Du Chen looked forward to that day.
Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows and did not ask what he planned to do. In short, she was not curious about the Du family.
“Get ready. I’ll perform the surgery in two hours.” After Jiang Yao said that, she looked at Lu Xingzhi and said, “Du Chen’s surgery will take a long time. Go back and wait for me. I’ll call you when I’m done. You can come to the hospital to pick me up then.”
“I’ll buy you some food. You can start after you’ve eaten.” Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head. “I’ll leave after you’ve gone into the operating theater.”
The surgery would take a long time. Lu Xingzhi was worried that Jiang Yao could not stand it, and he was more worried that she would be hungry.
“Young Master Lu, you are very considerate.”
Du Chen watched their interaction. They talked as if they were the only people in the room. Du Chen was a little envious of Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi was born into a wealthy and happy family. His family members were very great with each other. He even had a few sworn brothers and a wife who were loyally devoted to him.
It seemed like the heavens favored some people unfairly. Some people would not get the same thing even if they tried their best.
Jiang Yao looked at the time and touched her stomach. She did feel hungry when he mentioned food.
“Can we place an order for the food?” Jiang Yao smiled gently. Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, then he smiled. “I’ll take you to lunch, and then I’ll send you back here.”

Jiang Yao thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay.” Then, she remembered that Du Chen was still in the office, so she turned to look at him. “Do you want to eat with us?”
Du Chen accepted her invitation. However, he noticed a pair of black eyes looking at him. So, Du Chen shook his head against his will. “There’s no need for that. It’s too hot outside. I can’t be bothered to go out. I’ll just ask my assistant to send some food here.”
“Sure.”
Jiang Yao pretended that she did not see Lu Xingzhi’s threatening gaze. Then, she picked up her phone and called the hospital director to tell him about what she would need for her surgery in two hours. She asked him to help her prepare them. Then, she left the hospital with Lu Xingzhi.
Jiang Yao wanted to eat meat, so Lu Xingzhi took her to a private restaurant. The restaurant had just opened, but it was not lunchtime yet. Lu Xingzhi sat down with Jiang Yao and ordered a few meat dishes in one go. After that, he asked Jiang Yao if it was enough. The waiter was stunned. After a while, he asked, “Would you like some vegetables?” Lu Xingzhi had ordered five or six meat dishes. Would they be able to finish them?
“I don’t think so.”
Jiang Yao shook her head.
Lu Xingzhi waved his hand, a signal for the waiter to leave. Then, he said, “I’m not used to you becoming a carnivore.” Even though Jiang Yao was not picky about food, she did not like eating so much meat. They would usually have at least one vegetable dish for their meals at home. That was her eating habit.
“I just feel like eating meat. Maybe I exhausted my energy last night, so I needed sufficient meat to replenish my energy.” Jiang Yao had made up a reason that she did not even believe. Then, she said, “I’ve been feeling a little strange lately. Sometimes I have cravings. Last night, when I was half asleep, I suddenly wanted to eat grapes, which was weird.”
