Ling Yun narrowed her eyes slightly. Hong Feng was not just pervasive, but also incredibly despicable and shameless!
Seeing her mother's unhappy expression, Lan Yuxi thought she must be reminiscing about the past again. She quickly reached out and held her mother's hand.
Ling Yun tugged at her lips, forcing a smile. "It's nothing, it's all in the past."
Lan Yuxi nuzzled into her shoulder. "By the way, Mom, Luan Sheng is completely recovered."
"Is he! I'll go see him. Don't wait until he's gone, and it becomes difficult to even catch a glimpse of him." Ling Yun stood up with a smile.
Lan Yuxi smiled and pulled her back. "They aren't leaving anymore, you can see him anytime from now on."
"Not leaving?" Ling Yun was naturally happy to hear that Luan Sheng wasn't leaving, but the thought of Nan Yao also living here made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
As for why she was uncomfortable, she couldn't quite explain it.
Lan Yuxi waved her hand in front of her eyes. "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Ling Yun came back to her senses and sat down. "Xi'er, those villas were bought by Nan Xiao for your brothers. If they plan to stay often, will your brothers have any objections?"
Lan Yuxi waved her hand indifferently. "It's fine. They can never gather all at once, and even if they do, they don't like to live separately. I don't want them to leave either."
Ling Yun smiled and stroked her head. "You are always so kind! After only a few years, you've forgotten about the past."
Lan Yuxi pouted. "When I was at the Nan family's, although he was cold towards me, he never harmed me. However, for some reason, I still can't bring myself to like him. I'm only doing this for that poor child."
"Luan Sheng is indeed quite pitiable."
As mother and daughter were chatting, Ming Zicheng and Yan Chuting walked in, hand in hand.
Lan Yuxi glanced behind them, not seeing Nan Xiao, and asked with a smile, "Why are you two alone? Where's my husband?"
"Your husband was lured away by a little vixen."
"He went to buy you cake, he'll be back soon."
Ming Zicheng and Yan Chuting gave their answers together, but they were two different answers.
Lan Yuxi picked up an orange and threw it at Ming Zicheng.
Ming Zicheng smiled and caught the orange. "Sister is still the best to me, she knows I've been craving this."
Lan Yuxi gave him a glare. "You lied to me, I won't give you food tonight."
Yan Chuting let out a chuckle.
Ming Zicheng looked at her, his mouth twitching slightly. Why was she so happy about not giving him food?
Yan Chuting smiled and pushed him onto the sofa. "You just sit here and wait for your sister to deal with you!"
Lan Yuxi curled her lips slightly and pulled Yan Chuting to sit down.
Ling Yun, fearing they had something to discuss, chatted with them for a bit before returning to her room.
Seeing her mother leave, Lan Yuxi smiled and asked, "You two coming to see me isn't just for a free meal, is it? Come on, what's up?"
Yan Chuting's face immediately turned red to her ears from Lan Yuxi's question.
Lan Yuxi blinked her eyes. What was going on?
"Er Wan, you say it!"
The young girl was too shy to speak, so Er Wan had to.
Ming Zicheng glanced at Yan Chuting and stood up, walking over.
Yan Chuting guessed what he was going to do and quickly hid her hands behind her back.
Ming Zicheng smiled helplessly, took her hand, and placed it on Lan Yuxi's lap. "Sister, Chuting hasn't been feeling well lately. Can you take a look?"
Lan Yuxi looked at Ming Zicheng, then at Yan Chuting, and then smiled, placing her hand on Yan Chuting's wrist.
After a moment, she smiled and moved her hand away. "Er Wan, what can I say about you! Chuting is young and doesn't understand these things, but don't you understand either?"
Ming Zicheng's face flushed as he lowered his gaze. Could he say that he truly didn't understand?
Yan Chuting's face instantly turned as red as blood. "Yuxi, it's not what I'm thinking, is it?"
Lan Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly. "What are you thinking?"
Yan Chuting pouted. "Stop teasing me. I've been so anxious these past few days that I'm getting mouth ulcers."
"I can cure your mouth ulcers, but I can't do anything about what's in your belly."
Ming Zicheng was stunned for half a second, then suddenly turned around with a silly grin.
Lan Yuxi playfully kicked him. "What are you doing!"
Ming Zicheng turned back and grabbed Lan Yuxi's hand. "Sister, I'm going to be a father!"
Lan Yuxi gave him a helpless nudge. "You're going to be a father, why are you grabbing my hand?"
Ming Zicheng gave another silly laugh. "I don't dare to touch her..."
Lan Yuxi couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Pfft—you don't dare to touch her, so where did the child come from?"
At this moment, Yan Chuting was so embarrassed she wished she could disappear into a crack in the floor.
Lan Yuxi smiled and nudged her. "Alright, there's nothing to be shy about! You and the baby are doing well. I'll make some special medicine to help consolidate things for you."
Yan Chuting nodded shyly.
Lan Yuxi gave them a look of exasperation. "What can I say about the two of you! One is too shy, and the other is too silly. Shouldn't you two be considering when to get your marriage certificate and when to have the wedding right now? Do you two really want to wait until after the baby is born to do these two things?"
Ming Zicheng rubbed his nose with a憨 smile. "We'll get the certificate tomorrow. As for the wedding... everything is almost ready, so why not move it up to the end of this month?"
Ming Zicheng looked at Yan Chuting, seeking her opinion.
Yan Chuting stared at him blankly with a flushed face, forgetting whether she should nod or shake her head.
Seeing her dazed expression, Lan Yuxi shook her head with a smile. "Er Wan, don't make decisions for everything yourself. You need to get the opinions of both sets of elders."
"...Alright, I'll go get their opinions now." Ming Zicheng said, taking out his phone to make a call.
Yan Chuting grabbed his hand. "Wait..."
"What's wrong?" Ming Zicheng asked, confused.
Yan Chuting pursed her lips. "If Uncle and Aunt find out I'm pregnant, will they think I'm too irresponsible?"
Ming Zicheng smiled and patted her hand. "No, if they find out you have a baby, they'll be overjoyed. How could they possibly have any other thoughts?"
"Then will my parents scold me?"
"If anyone scolds, it'll be me. I was the one who made the move."
"Tell me, how did you make the move?" Nan Xiao walked in with a smile.
Seeing him return, Yan Chuting buried her face in Ming Zicheng's chest, shyly.
Ming Zicheng, in a good mood, patted her head. "The more shy you are, the more he wants to tease you. But if you tell him how I made the move, he'll definitely be even more embarrassed than you."
"You're so improper!" Lan Yuxi smiled and took the cake Nan Xiao handed her. "Chuting, let's go to the balcony to eat cake and let Er Wan handle this himself."
Yan Chuting felt as if she had been granted a great amnesty. She took Lan Yuxi's hand and walked past Nan Xiao to the balcony.
Nan Xiao looked at Ming Zicheng with amusement. "Play by yourself, I'm going upstairs to change."
