Xuan Mo Han's words were practically a public declaration, making even the rough Shi Yi's eyes mist over with rosy hues. But...
Lan Qian Qian remained unfazed, her expression darkening instead.
"Alright, President Xuan, stop pretending. I'm here to tell you I'm being discharged tomorrow to recuperate at home, and I won't be going back to the company."
She currently detested seeing people, so even though her work was done, she had no intention of returning to the company. Future matters could wait!
Before Xuan Mo Han could react to Lan Qian Qian's announcement, he was interrupted by her next words.
She was going home?
Xuan Mo Han frowned, disagreeing. "Your health..."
"My health is perfectly fine! I'm just here to inform you, President Xuan. As for the children... I'll take care of them myself!"
Without waiting for Xuan Mo Han to speak, Lan Qian Qian immediately turned to the three children, her voice devoid of emotion, "It's getting late today. You all go back first, and come back tomorrow after you've packed your things!"
After saying this, Lan Qian Qian strode out.
Xuan Mo Han did not stop her, his deep eyes gazing in the direction she had left, lost in thought.
Uh...
After Lan Qian Qian left, Shi Yi and Shi Xiao Hu exchanged wide-eyed glances, their expressions clearly conveying one message: this fight between the young master and young madam is no simple matter!
Hesitating, Shi Yi finally spoke, "Young Master, this won't do. The young madam still has three children with her!"
The implication was that he should quickly appease the young madam; running away from home would affect their marital relationship! Moreover, how could the young master and young mistress be out in the open like this?
To his surprise, Xuan Mo Han didn't even give him a glance. Shi Yi had no choice but to turn his pleading gaze to Lu Hao Ran. Among everyone present, only Young Master Lu could offer some advice.
Unexpectedly, Lu Hao Ran spread his hands, giving him a look of helplessness.
This made Shi Yi a little desperate. If Young Master Lu wasn't getting involved, what about his young master!
Young Master? Shi Yi suddenly thought of young master Han Yu. This young master was exceptionally intelligent; perhaps his opinion could be sought!
Before he could even turn his head, he heard a youthful yet steady voice.
"We'll stay with Mommy at the hospital today. You can have someone send our things over tomorrow."
"Well, my young master Han Yu, you can't completely favor the young madam!"
Shi Yi silently cried out in his heart, but indeed, the young madam was quite lonely by herself. Sigh!
"Big brother..."
Lan Tong Tong wanted to say something but lowered her head, remaining silent.
She just wanted her father, mother, and siblings to be together, but she also missed her mother dearly.
If... she had to choose between her father and mother, she could only follow her mother. But she felt so sad, she didn't want them to separate!
Lan Tong Tong's distress grew, and she ran out crying. Seeing his sister cry, Lan Le Xuan felt a pang of heartache and followed her out.
Without Xuan Mo Han's command, Shi Yi and Shi Xiao Hu went out to protect the two children. Shi Xiao Hu, purely unable to bear the atmosphere, followed his leader out as a bodyguard.
At such a young age, Lan Han Yu, despite his sadness, did not show it on his face, concealing all his emotions.
"The little girl is coincidentally encountering her sister-in-law's illness and having no one to keep her company, so her emotions are bound to be a bit low. I'll go check on her. You should also relax and not argue with your sister-in-law."
If they truly got into a fight, he would be the one suffering!
"En."
Xuan Mo Han finally managed to utter a word from his throat.
Lu Hao Ran felt relieved. Mo always acted with discretion. As long as he was rational, he would never disappoint anyone!
As he reached the doorway, Lu Hao Ran remembered something and turned back to remind him, "They've already found a lead on that material. It's overseas! Chen Yi has already gone there."
Therefore, those people were very likely from other countries. Of course, it was also possible they had just stumbled upon this information. The specifics would only be known after Chen Yi investigated.
After Lu Hao Ran left, Xuan Mo Han finally moved his stiff body, his gaze complex as he looked at Lan Han Yu.
"Does Han Yu have anything to say?"
He knew all along that Lan Han Yu had something to tell him, which was why he hadn't chased after the little girl.
Lan Han Yu, always calm, now showed a hint of worry in his expression, "Starting tomorrow, send people to protect my mother."
He did not yet have the strength, and with his mother outside of Xuan Mo Han's protection, it would be much easier for others to make a move.
Xuan Mo Han nodded, his large hand gently patting him comfortingly. "I will. Anything else?" He knew Han Yu hadn't finished speaking.
Lan Han Yu did indeed have more to say. Uncle Lu had already mentioned that Uncle Chen had gone abroad, so he had one more thing he wanted to know...
"Where is Grandma?"
Grandma had been gone for a while, but since Mommy hadn't mentioned it, he hadn't asked. Before, Grandma would also go out, but not for so long.
So he had become a little worried. This was why he had investigated, and upon doing so, he discovered that Grandma had left with someone. However, being at school limited many things, which was why he was asking him.
He believed they must know something. Without understanding clearly, he couldn't quite put his mind at ease!
Lan Han Yu's question was met with Xuan Mo Han's silence.
Seeing Xuan Mo Han's reaction, Lan Han Yu felt a chill run through him. His small hands clenched until they hurt, yet he didn't notice. His voice trembled as he spoke, "What happened?"
If Xuan Mo Han reacted like this, it meant Grandma might have been in danger, or even...
Lan Han Yu dared not think. Before he received an answer, he preferred to believe he was overthinking. But was that possible?
Xuan Mo Han did not want Lan Han Yu to be exposed to such dark matters at such a young age. He merely said in a hoarse voice, "Your Grandma... is not doing well. I've already sent people to rescue her. Han Yu, you don't need to worry about this matter."
Since Xuan Mo Han had said she wasn't doing well, Lan Han Yu already understood.
After a long pause, Lan Han Yu finally spoke again, his voice hoarsely unusual, "Don't tell Mommy about this. She... won't be able to handle it!"
After a moment's pause, Lan Han Yu continued, "And no matter the final outcome... tell me."
Having said that, Lan Han Yu also walked out, his shoulders shaking, his eyes red...
...
Inside Qi Jia You's private manor.
Everyone was ready, all dressed in matching uniforms. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that although the clothes were simple, they were intricately designed internally, capable of holding quite a few items!
"Are you all ready?!"
Qi Jia You stood before everyone, his expression solemn and exceptionally serious. His attire was the same as theirs, except for a special insignia on his shoulder!
"We are ready!"
A unified voice echoed throughout the manor...
"Very good! We're moving out tonight. Disperse for now!"
Everyone left the area quickly and orderly, all awaiting the descent of night...
