Lan Yuxi and Nan Xiao exchanged a glance. It seemed Nan Xiangnan was truly hurt.
Nan Xiao said in a deep voice, "For the convenience of treating Luan Sheng, An Xi is now staying at Villa A4 on the mountainside. If you have something to say to her, go say it yourself. Also, Luan Sheng's formal treatment will begin tomorrow."
Nan Xiangnan's lips moved slightly, but he ultimately made no sound.
"It's getting late, we'll be leaving now." Nan Xiao took Lan Yuxi's hand and walked towards the door.
Nan Xiangbei quickly followed, "Madam, when will that batch of computers you mentioned arrive?"
"Tomorrow morning. Right now, they are still setting up the systems."
Nan Xiangbei let out a sigh of relief. He was practically sick now. No matter who sent him a link, he didn't dare to open it, for fear of being infected again.
Lan Yuxi looked at him with amusement, "So you're scared now? Let me tell you, these computers come with an alarm system. If you dare to look at those messy things again, the entire company will hear the alarm. Where will you hide your face then!"
Nan Xiangbei's face flushed red, and his voice was so low that he could barely hear himself, "I wouldn't dare to look at anything else even if you killed me."
Lan Yuxi's lips curved into a slight smile. She followed Nan Xiao out.
The next morning, all the company computers were replaced with new ones. Only then did Nan Xiangbei dare to work normally.
During lunch, Lan Yuxi received a call from Ling Yun.
"Xi'er, we've identified one."
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly, "What rank?"
"Battalion level."
"Does Nan Xiao know?"
"Xi Xi just finished telling him."
"Then let him handle it. You've worked hard these past few days. If you're not feeling well, please rest."
Ling Yun smiled, "I'm not tired. Xiang Xi and I still need to continue the investigation to clear out the Night Elves as soon as possible. Only when the internal situation is clean will tragedies like mine and your father's not happen again."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips, "I just received news that Chen Mo has late-stage stomach cancer. Those who harmed you and Dad will not have a good end!"
Ling Yun was slightly taken aback, "Does Tingting know?"
"She doesn't. I haven't figured out how to tell her yet."
"If you don't know how to tell her, then let Jiaqi tell her."
Lan Yuxi immediately smiled, "Mom, you're still the smartest. I'll call Brother Jiaqi right now."
"Eat first!"
"Okay." After Ling Yun hung up, Lan Yuxi picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Seeing her eat so quickly, Ling Chen smiled and reminded her, "Don't eat too fast, it's bad for your stomach."
Lan Yuxi smiled at him, "I'm in a hurry to be a matchmaker, so I have to eat quickly."
Ling Chen asked with a smile, "You have this hobby?"
"Yes. What do you think? Do you want me to find someone for you?"
Ling Chen smiled and waved his hand, "I'm still young. Please spare me."
Lan Yuxi smacked her lips and smiled. After finishing the food on her plate, she picked up her phone and dialed.
"Brother Jiaqi, are you having lunch?"
"I'm eating now. How about you?"
"I just finished... Eat slowly. When you're done, I want to discuss something with you."
Luo Jiaqi saw that she had something to tell him and quickly put down his chopsticks, "I'm done. Tell me."
Duan Ting, sitting opposite him, glanced at his plate. There was still so much food left, yet he said he was done.
Lan Yuxi lowered her voice, "Are you and Tingting together?"
"Yes. If it's inconvenient to talk about, I'll step out to take the call."
"It's fine, I'm not afraid she'll hear. I'll have to tell her sooner or later, but we need to think carefully about how to tell her."
Luo Jiaqi looked up at Duan Ting, "Did something happen?"
"During a routine physical examination at the prison, they found Chen Mo has late-stage stomach cancer. He only has about three months to live. Do you think we should tell Sister Ting?"
Luo Jiaqi glanced at Duan Ting, who was slowly eating her meal.
Duan Ting noticed him looking at her and met his gaze, "What Yuxi said is related to me."
Luo Jiaqi pursed his lips tightly, not answering her. Instead, he said to Lan Yuxi on the phone, "I'll hang up first. After I finish eating, I'll tell her. But you don't need to worry too much. She has reached a state of indifference towards that person, neither love nor hate. Also, if you need money, tell me. I'll give it to him."
"Okay." Lan Yuxi smiled and hung up the phone. Listening to Brother Jiaqi, he even knew Duan Ting's attitude towards Chen Mo. It seemed he was truly sincere about Duan Ting.
After he hung up, Duan Ting put down her chopsticks and looked at him intently.
Luo Jiaqi glanced at her clean plate, "Are you full?"
"Yes." Duan Ting stood up with her tray, "If it's about him, don't tell me. I don't want to hear about him. You eat first, I'm going back."
Luo Jiaqi suspected he had misread because he saw a fleeting hint of sadness in Duan Ting's eyes.
"I'm done eating. I'll accompany you out for a walk," Luo Jiaqi took Duan Ting's tray and his own and put them in the sink.
Duan Ting watched him the whole time. After he walked over, they left the dining hall one after the other.
During this time, Duan Ting could feel the changes in Luo Jiaqi. Although he still had someone else in his heart, he had left a pure land for her in his heart. However, she didn't know how big this pure land was.
"The call just now was from Yuxi," Luo Jiaqi broke the silence first.
Duan Ting didn't reply, just nodded slightly. He only had that kind of reaction when he answered Yuxi's calls.
Luo Jiaqi said in a deep voice, "He has late-stage stomach cancer and only has about three months to live. If you want to see him one last time, I'll go with you. If you don't want to, I'll send a sum of money to the hospital where he is, as a repayment for his act of procreation."
Duan Ting's gaze faltered slightly, then she concealed all emotion and said indifferently, "Repayment for procreation? My mother is the one who bore me. I have nothing to do with him. You are not allowed to send him any money."
Duan Ting thought she had hidden it well, but she didn't realize that her moment of sadness had been seen by Luo Jiaqi.
Luo Jiaqi reached out and took her hand, heading straight for the parking lot.
Duan Ting instantly became anxious, "Luo Jiaqi, what are you doing?"
"Taking you to see him one last time, lest you regret it later."
"I'm not going!"
Duan Ting tried hard to pull her hand away, but Luo Jiaqi held it even tighter.
"Duan Ting, don't lie to yourself. You still hate him, which means you still care about him. After we go, you don't have to face him directly. Just a glance from afar, and then we'll come back."
Tears immediately welled up in Duan Ting's eyes, "Luo Jiaqi, let go of me! I already said I'm not going. What right do you have to decide for me!"
Luo Jiaqi turned to look at her. Seeing her struggling to pull away, he bent down and picked her up.
Duan Ting's body stiffened abruptly, "Luo Jiaqi, put me down!"
