Chapter 235: Facing difficulties together

Yanan took the medical report and returned home with a heavy heart. She sat on the sofa, her eyes dull, and the doctor's words kept appearing in her mind. The medical report seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, weighing her down and making her breathless.

At this time, Ruan Jianan returned home after a busy day at work. As soon as he entered the door, he felt that Yanan was different, so he walked over and asked with concern: "Dear, what's wrong with you? You look so bad." His eyes were full of worry, and his brows frowned unconsciously.

Yanan hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell Ruan Jianan for the time being. She forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. I may just be a little tired lately." She tried to make her voice sound more relaxed, but the slightly trembling ending of her voice still betrayed her inner uneasiness.

Ruan Jianan frowned, obviously not quite believing it: "Really? But I think something is wrong with you today." He pulled Yanan's hand and held it tightly in his own, trying to give her some strength and warmth.

Yanan took a deep breath and stood up: "Oh, it's really okay, don't think too much, go wash your hands and prepare for dinner." She turned and walked towards the kitchen, not wanting Ruan Jianan to see the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes.

Although Ruan Jianan still had doubts in his heart, he did not ask any more questions. He knew that if Yanan did not want to talk, it would be useless to ask more questions, so he could only wait until she was willing to speak.

During dinner, the two of them were silent and the atmosphere was a bit dull. Ruan Jianan tried to break the silence by telling some interesting stories in the company, but Yanan just responded absentmindedly. Her mind was not on the conversation at all, she just mechanically put the food into her mouth, but she couldn't taste anything.

After dinner, Yanan quietly cleaned up the dishes. Ruan Jianan gently hugged her from behind: "Yanan, I know you are worried about something. No matter what happens, you must tell me and we will face it together." His voice was gentle and firm, as if he made an eternal promise in Yanan's ear.

Yanan's eyes were instantly moist, but she still bit her lip: "Jian'an, I'll tell you when I think about it." She was afraid that once she told the truth, it would bring too much pressure to Ruan Jian'an. After all, he had worked hard enough.

In the following days, Yanan was worried and could not concentrate on anything. She often sat in a daze and could not sleep at night. Ruan Jianan also kept an eye on her every move, and was full of doubts and worries.

One day, Yanan accidentally broke a bowl while cooking in the kitchen. She suddenly broke down and squatted on the ground crying. The crisp sound of the bowl breaking was like the last straw that broke her back. All her fear, anxiety and grievances came out at once.

Ruan Jianan rushed over upon hearing the noise and hugged Yanan tightly in his arms: "Yanan, don't hide it from me anymore, what happened?" His voice was anxious and distressed, and he wished he could share all of Yanan's pain immediately.

Yanan sobbed and finally took out the medical report and handed it to Ruan Jianan. Her hands were shaking, as if the report was a terrible monster.

After reading the report, Ruan Jianan's face became solemn. His eyes flashed many emotions in an instant, including shock and worry, but they were soon replaced by determination. He raised his head and looked into Yanan's tearful eyes: "Don't be afraid, dear, no matter what, I will always be by your side." His voice was steady and powerful, giving Yanan a sense of comfort.

However, at this moment, Ruan Jianan's phone suddenly rang. It was an emergency call from the company. On the other end of the phone, the secretary's anxious voice came: "Mr. Ruan, it's bad. There is a big problem in our cooperation with an important customer. If we don't deal with it immediately, we may suffer heavy losses."

Ruan Jianan's brows furrowed again. He looked at Yanan, his eyes full of helplessness and guilt.

Yanan wiped away her tears and said, "Go and deal with it quickly. Work is more important."

Ruan Jianan nodded, kissed Yanan's forehead, and then hurried away.

Yanan looked at Ruan Jianan's hurriedly leaving back, feeling helpless and fearful. She didn't know what the future would be like, how her illness would develop, or whether Ruan Jianan could take good care of her during his busy work.

When Ruan Jianan arrived at the company, the conference room was already full of people, and everyone's faces were very serious.

"Mr. Ruan, this time the customer has raised serious questions about the quality of our products and is demanding a return and compensation for losses," the sales manager said anxiously.

Ruan Jianan sat in a chair and thought for a moment: "First, let's retrieve all the relevant information and analyze carefully where the problem lies."

Everyone started to get busy, and Ruan Jianan's brain was also working fast. He was thinking about how to solve the company's crisis while worrying about Yanan's situation.

Time passed minute by minute, and after several hours of intense discussion and analysis, we finally found the root cause of the problem and developed a preliminary solution.

Ruan Jianan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the time and it was already late at night. He picked up his phone and wanted to call Yanan, but he was afraid to disturb her rest.

At home, Yanan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Ruan Jianan's firm eyes and warm embrace kept appearing in her mind, and she felt a little comforted.

The next morning, Ruan Jianan returned home. Yanan was heartbroken when she saw his bloodshot eyes.

"How are the company's affairs going?" Yanan asked.

"There is already a preliminary solution, but further follow-up is needed." Ruan Jianan.

"That's good, don't tire yourself out."

In the following days, Ruan Jianan was busy with company affairs while accompanying Yanan to the hospital for various examinations and treatments. He ran between the company and the hospital every day, and although he was exhausted, he never complained.

Seeing how hard Ruan Jianan was working, Yanan was moved and felt guilty. She secretly vowed to face the disease with strength and not let Ruan Jianan worry about her.

During the treatment, Yanan's condition relapsed and her mood fluctuated. Sometimes, she would lose her temper over a small matter, and Ruan Jianan always patiently comforted her and tolerated her.

One day, Yanan met a girl with the same illness in the hospital. The girl’s optimism and strength deeply infected her.

"Sister, you have to cheer up. We will definitely be able to defeat the disease." The girl said to Yanan with a smile.

Yanan seemed to have a surge of strength in her heart. She decided not to be depressed anymore and to actively cooperate with the treatment.

Just when Yanan's mentality was gradually improving, Ruan Jianan's company received bad news again. Competitors took advantage of the problems within their company to grab market share, and the company's performance was seriously affected.
