Nan Xiangdong walked over somewhat nervously.
Lan Yuxi smiled and pulled his hand, "We're all family, so why be so formal with me? Aren't you uncomfortable!"
The words "all family" instantly warmed the hearts of everyone in the room.
After checking Nan Xiangdong's pulse, Lan Yuxi said gravely, "Stop the Western medicine tonight. You'll come upstairs with me, and I'll give you a few acupuncture treatments. Starting tomorrow morning, you'll drink Chinese medicine."
Nan Xiangdong instinctively looked at Nan Xiao.
"Go on," Nan Xiao said, then turned to Nan Xiangbei and Nan Xiangxi, "You two also go upstairs and wait in the room for Xi Bao. She'll check your pulses later too."
"Okay."
Nan Xiangbei grinned foolishly, pulling Nan Xiangxi as they followed Lan Yuxi and Nan Xiangdong upstairs.
When Lan Yuxi came downstairs after treating the three of them, Nan Xiangnan was reporting to Nan Xiao.
"Patriarch, the villa's defense system is quite perfect. Ordinary people can't get in. The only weak point is the back mountain. It seems we need to add more personnel there."
Seeing Lan Yuxi descend, Nan Xiao smiled and interrupted him, "Alright. Tomorrow, tell Ying to send more people. Now, it's time to solve your insomnia."
Lan Yuxi walked down with a smile, "Give it to me, I'll take a look."
Nan Xiangnan hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand.
Lan Yuxi calmly took his pulse. Just as Nan Xiangnan relaxed his guard, she casually flicked out two golden needles.
In a moment of daze, Nan Xiangnan closed his eyes.
Lan Yuxi supported his falling body and whispered to someone outside the door, "Help him upstairs and let him get a good night's sleep."
Nan Yi and Nan Er appeared simultaneously and quickly carried him into the elevator.
"How is he? Is it serious?"
"He overthinks too much, his mind is full of unsolvable knots. If I hadn't surprised him, the golden needles probably wouldn't have helped him sleep." Lan Yuxi closed her eyes, then suddenly thought of an old remedy, a brilliant smile appearing on her face. "Got it! I'll give him Chinese medicine tomorrow, and I don't believe he'll relapse!"
Nan Xiao affectionately stroked her head, "You've worked hard."
Lan Yuxi pouted and smiled, "Yes, I've worked so hard. Do you want to carry me upstairs?"
Nan Xiao directly picked her up.
Lan Mushang, who had come out to get a late-night snack for Lan Zixin, saw this scene and smiled, shaking his head. Only Nan Xiao would spoil his sister like this; anyone else wouldn't be able to get away with it.
Nan Xiao carried Lan Yuxi into the bedroom and saw two bulges on the bed. He glanced at Lan Yuxi, who smiled and jumped down from his arms.
"Husband, what did you hide on the bed? Oh, I know, it must be little piglets!"
Nan Xiao smiled and played along, "Yes, you wanted to eat roast pig, didn't you? I bought you two... Go ahead and eat."
The bulges on the bed shifted restlessly.
Lan Yuxi stifled a laugh and pounced onto the bed with a howl, "Which one do I get to eat first? This one, it smells so good, it must be delicious!"
Lan Yuxi playfully bit the little bottom of one of the bulges through the quilt.
"Haha... Mom, it's me!" Mu Mu smiled and revealed half her little head from under the covers.
Lan Yuxi smiled and poked her little head, "I knew it was you, that's why I bit you!"
Zhao Zhao also climbed out with a smile, "Why didn't Mom bite me?"
"Because you're a stinky boy!" Lan Yuxi playfully bit Zhao Zhao's cheek. "Ew! My judgment was wrong, my Zhao Zhao is also fragrant!"
"Haha... Mom, bite me again." Mu Mu brought her little face closer.
Lan Yuxi smiled and hugged the two little ones. She nibbled on one, then the other, and the three of them had a wild time on the bed.
Watching his wife and children, Nan Xiao's entire demeanor softened. This was what a home should be like.
After Lan Yuxi had played enough with the two children, she turned to look at Nan Xiao, who was still standing there.
"Why are you still standing there? Aren't you going to shower?"
"Waiting for you, together."
Mu Mu licked her cheek and said with a smile, "Daddy is shy, neither me nor brother will shower with you."
Nan Xiao dotingly stroked her head, "Mom and I are husband and wife, it's not shy to shower together."
Mu Mu looked at Zhao Zhao for confirmation.
Zhao Zhao pouted, "Dad likes to stick to Mom. Let's lend Mom to him for a few minutes."
Mu Mu pouted and waved goodbye to her mother before lying down, "Mom, come back quickly."
"Okay~" Lan Yuxi kissed Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu, then got off the bed and went into the bathroom with Nan Xiao.
As soon as they entered, Nan Xiao pressed her against the door and kissed her.
Lan Yuxi was slightly stunned, then closed her eyes, welcoming his passionate embrace.
After a long while, Nan Xiao stopped the kiss and, resting his forehead against hers, said with a shaky voice, "Wife, thank you for giving me a home."
A true home!
Lan Yuxi stood on tiptoe and gently bit his chin, "I also want to thank you for protecting me all these years, and for fulfilling my girlish dream."
"Girlish dream?"
"Sleeping... no, marrying you!"
Nan Xiao stared intensely into her eyes and said in a low voice, "Say the sentence before you changed your words again."
Lan Yuxi chuckled nervously, "I didn't change my words... Ah!"
Lan Yuxi was suddenly lifted into the air. As she looked down at Nan Xiao, who was significantly shorter than her, she happened to catch a fleeting glint of amusement in his eyes.
"You want to sleep with me that badly? Fine, I'll oblige."
"Don't mess around, the children are still outside."
Nan Xiao suppressed his urge with great effort, "Then we'll talk after they fall asleep."
Lan Yuxi's mouth twitched uncontrollably. She shouldn't have been so glib! She was going to suffer again!
The next day, Lan Yuxi went downstairs, rubbing her sore back. She rummaged through the storage room for nearly half an hour before coming out with five bags of Chinese medicine.
Nan Zhenting looked at the bags in her hand and smiled with relief. With such a considerate matriarch, how could the clan not love and respect her? With this unity, the Nan family would surely become stronger and stronger.
Lan Yuxi handed the bags to the butler and gave a few more instructions before smiling and knocking on Lan Mushang's door.
"Sister-in-law, your private doctor is here~"
Lan Zixin sat up with a smile, "Why are you up so early today?"
"I'm preparing medicine for the four of them. If I'm late, they'll have to drink it tonight." As Lan Yuxi spoke, she placed her hand on Lan Zixin's wrist. "Hmm, good. After these ten doses, it should be about right."
Lan Zixin joyfully clasped her hand, "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Lan Yuxi smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true! If I lie to you, I'm a dog!"
Lan Zixin looked at Lan Mushang with tears in her eyes, "Are you relieved now? You don't have to stay home with me every day. Go to work. If I miss you, I'll bring our baby to see you."
