Lan Yuxi's eyes flickered, and she said with a scheming expression, "No need to apologize to him. You can't spoil men! The more you apologize, the more his tail will wag."
Xin Mori paused and mumbled, "Isn't that not good? It was my fault, I was anxious at the time, and I was afraid he wouldn't agree, so I resorted to this stratagem."
Seeing that Lan Yuxi didn't respond, Xin Mori continued, "This time, thanks to you all, my father said that if your family doesn't want shares, then he'll sell all the goods to your family below market price, and he absolutely won't let your family suffer a loss."
Lan Yuxi sighed, "I don't care about these things. Discuss them with my eldest brother. What worries me most right now are the marriages of my fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers. They are all so old now and still don't have girlfriends. My parents are almost tearing their hair out worrying about the three of them."
Xin Mori's hand holding the phone tightened slightly, "Do you have any targets now?"
"Not yet, still searching."
Outside the door, Nan Xiao listened to his little wife's words, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He didn't know why she was so enthusiastic about playing matchmaker recently.
Nan Xiao came out with a fruit salad. Seeing Nan Yao still standing outside the study door, he asked with a smile, "Is Yuxi still on the phone?"
"Yes." Nan Xiao walked over, placed the fruit salad on the coffee table, and said, "Luan Sheng is better now. If An Xi wants to return to the studio, let her go back."
Letting An Xi go back to work was Yuxi's suggestion. The day before Nan Luan Sheng recovered, Lan Yuxi finally took advantage of An Xi's weak will to give her medicine. As a result, what she said this time was exactly the same as last time, which showed that she was indeed coerced and not an accomplice.
Nan Yao sighed, "She said she doesn't want to go to work anymore, afraid that person will threaten her to do bad things again."
Nan Xiao said in a deep voice, "Tell her that no one can threaten her. I've sent people to protect them in An Cheng."
Nan Yao nodded, "Okay, when she picks up Luan Sheng, I'll ask her."
Nan Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at him, "If you feel bored, go back to Nan Corporation."
Nan Yao smiled and shook his head, "I'm old, and my brain can't keep up. Going to Nan Corporation won't help and will only cause trouble. Don't worry about me. I'm looking for a shop these days. I want to open a small teahouse. Once it's open, I'll take Luan Sheng to live with An Xi."
Nan Xiao frowned slightly, "Luan Sheng doesn't like to move. If you force him to move and he has an episode again, what will happen? He can stay here, the house is just sitting idle. Also, don't worry about the teahouse. I'll find a shop for you, and you can just wait to be the boss."
Nan Yao patted his shoulder heavily, "I know you're doing this for my own good, but I'm not a child anymore. I can handle this much."
Nan Xiao pursed his lips tightly, "Then you arrange the teahouse yourself. Luan Sheng should not leave for now."
"Okay, let's each take a step back." Nan Yao paused and looked up at him, "How is Qiu Shuying recently?"
"Still the same, even Liu Sao, who has always followed her, doesn't recognize her."
Nan Yao lowered his eyes and sighed, "Mom forced her on me. I wanted to live with her according to Mom's wishes, but... alas, it's like this now, let's not talk about it."
Nan Xiao squeezed his fingers with some guilt, "Mom owes you and eldest sister the most in her life. I'll pay for her mistakes. In the future, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must tell me."
Nan Yao pressed his shoulder hard, "I won't be polite to you. But, not because of what Mom did to me, but because we are brothers."
Nan Xiao let out a sigh of relief and slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
"Nan Xiao, thank you for taking care of An Cheng and my father for me all these years."
"It's only right. You weren't here then, and that's all I could do."
Nan Yao smiled, "And Xiang Nan, I saw him almost every day back then, but he knew I was his elder brother and kept it a secret. If An Xi hadn't asked, he probably wouldn't have acknowledged us in this lifetime."
"Are you in a hurry to acknowledge him?" Nan Xiao shook his head helplessly, "This can't be rushed. He's still angry with An Xi. A few days ago, I asked him if he wanted to have dinner with you, and he said if you went, An Xi would have to go. Even if An Xi didn't go, you would persuade him not to be angry with An Xi."
Nan Yao smiled helplessly, "It seems only when my father comes can he be persuaded to have a meal with us."
"Uncle is coming back?"
"That's the plan, but his health hasn't been good recently, so it might take some time."
"Then when Uncle comes, I'll try to persuade Xiang Nan."
"Yes, he doesn't listen to anyone but you. By the way, you and Yuxi weren't here yesterday. I noticed Dad's complexion wasn't very good, and Xiao Yun was also worried. Even Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu were listless. Did something happen?"
"Xi Bao's fifth brother was captured by people from Yan Island, and Xi Bao and I went to Yan Island to bring him back."
Nan Yao was stunned for a moment, "So it was Mu Shu who was captured, no wonder everyone looked like that. But you and Yuxi are too brave. Yan Island is full of desperadoes, and you dared to go."
"It's alright, we both came back safe and sound." Nan Xiao asked casually, "Do you know about Yan Island too?"
"How could I not know? When I was still with Nan Corporation, I did a few deals with them, but Xin Kexiang's character was not good, so I broke off cooperation with him later."
Nan Xiao nodded slightly. At a glance, he saw Lan Yuxi coming out of the study and waved to her with a smile, "The fruit salad is ready, come and eat."
Lan Yuxi smiled and walked over, bent down, scooped up a piece of watermelon, and put it in her mouth, "Mmm~ delicious!"
Nan Yao said with a smile, "Eat more if it's delicious."
"I'll wait for Luan Sheng and them to come back and eat together." Lan Yuxi looked upstairs, "You guys chat first, I'll go up and check on Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu. They'll be out of class soon. I haven't seen them since I got back."
Nan Xiao wiped the corner of her mouth with doting eyes, "Is there anything special you want to eat tonight?"
Lan Yuxi thought with a smile, "Make me some spicy shrimp."
"You want something spicy?"
"Yes, spicy to whet my appetite. I'm going up."
"Go ahead."
Nan Xiao watched her leave, then turned to look at Nan Yao. Seeing that Nan Yao was also looking at Lan Yuxi, he curved his lips and smiled.
Nan Yao said with a smile, "In front of you, she's still a child who hasn't grown up, even if she lives to be eighty."
Nan Xiao chuckled, "If possible, I'd rather she be like this outside too."
As the two were talking, Nan Zhenting and Ling Xiaoling walked in from outside.
Seeing them return, Nan Yao quickly got up and said, "Dad, Aunt Ling."
