Lan Yuxi's lips curled slightly, a triumphant smile playing on them. Of her seven brothers, the seventh was the easiest to fool! The moment she spoke, he'd taken the bait.
Seeing that the "In Surgery" light had just illuminated, Lan Xiaoqi continued, "I remember when Sixth Brother met the ingrate, I felt my heart pounding just like today.
I thought Sixth Brother was in trouble and rushed to find him. Instead, I saw him carrying that ingrate into the emergency room. When I asked, I learned that the ingrate's adoptive parents had died in a car accident, and she had fainted from grief.
Sixth Brother, learning she had no other relatives and pitying her, not only handled the funeral arrangements for her parents but also helped her find a job at Lan Corporation.
Since that ingrate joined our company, Sixth Brother, who never went to the office before, started frequenting it. From then on, whenever Sixth Brother went to the company, I'd get palpitations. I guessed Sixth Brother had fallen for that ingrate.
Then one day, Sixth Brother took me for drinks and said he was in love but couldn't reveal it yet because the Lan and Ling families still had a tough battle to fight, and he was afraid of implicating her.
But on the very day he was bringing you home, that ingrate suddenly collapsed. Sixth Brother was extremely worried, and a check-up revealed she had a vascular malformation and needed surgery.
Sixth Brother planned to have the surgery done after rescuing the eldest sister-in-law. Who knew, after you saved the eldest sister-in-law, the ingrate had vanished.
Sixth Brother searched almost all of Norcas but couldn't find her. He was in a low mood for a long time before he finally recovered. I didn't expect to encounter her again here."
Lan Xiaoqi finished his indignant account and added with a huff, "Indeed, villains live long lives. She had a cerebrovascular malformation and is still alive! Xi'er, we must keep a close eye on Sixth Brother, or he'll go mad again."
Lan Yuxi pouted, "He's already gone mad earlier."
Lan Xiaoqi sighed, "This surgery will take at least five or six hours. You and Doctor Mu should go back first. I'll wait for Sixth Brother here."
Lan Yuxi smiled, "If you wait for Sixth Brother here, what about Nai Nai?"
Lan Xiaoqi's ear tips flushed a suspicious red, and after a long pause, he said, "It's alright. Nai Nai seems to have grown up a lot after her injury this time. She's not as clingy to me as before."
Lan Yuxi said, "She has grown up, yes, but she's still a patient. Go take care of her quickly... Lucy, you go too. I'll stay here for a while."
Mu Luxi glanced at the time, "Then I'll head back first. I'll come back to keep you company after work."
"Mhm." Seeing that Lan Xiaoqi still had no intention of leaving, Lan Yuxi said to Mu Luxi, "Take my Seventh Brother with you when you go."
Mu Luxi looked at Lan Xiaoqi's face, which was identical to Lan Xiaoqi's, and said with a shiver, "Mr. Tai, let's go."
Lan Xiaoqi let out a long breath, "Xi'er, sit for a while. I'll go tell Nai Nai and then come back to accompany you."
"I'm not the patient, I don't need you to accompany me..." Before Lan Yuxi could finish speaking, Lan Xiaoqi had already entered the stairwell. Nai Nai's ward was downstairs, so taking the stairs was more convenient.
Mu Luxi patted Lan Yuxi on the shoulder before entering the elevator.
Not long after they left, Nan Xiao's call came through, "Why are you at the hospital again?"
Lan Yuxi scanned her surroundings, located Nan Yi's hiding spot, and glared fiercely at him.
"When are you coming home?"
"About five or six hours..."
"Five or six hours? Lan Yuxi, do you want to be unable to get out of bed again?"
The hand holding Lan Yuxi's phone inexplicably tingled.
What did he mean?
Was he reminding her that even if she had her period, he, Nan Xiao, had ways to deal with her?
"Speak!" Nan Xiao's voice turned even colder.
Lan Yuxi coughed lightly, "Um... you know Yin Lu, right? The girl from the private kitchen restaurant? She and my Sixth Brother were lovers. My Sixth Brother is performing surgery on her, but he's quite unstable emotionally. I'm afraid something might happen, so I have to watch for a while."
Nan Xiao suppressed his anger, his brow furrowed, and said, "Don't forget to eat lunch... Forget it. Expecting you to have them buy you food is less likely than me having them buy it for you."
Seeing that he had relented, Lan Yuxi smiled, "Husband, don't worry, I'll definitely eat lunch!"
Nan Xiao snorted, "See to it yourself, otherwise..."
Nan Xiao didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was palpable.
Lan Yuxi glanced at her hand again and quickly said, "I promise to eat! Also, as soon as the surgery here is over, I'll come home immediately."
Nan Xiao snorted and hung up.
After the phone went silent, Lan Yuxi glared menacingly in Nan Yi's direction, "Reporting me again? Just wait until we get home, I'll deal with you!"
Nan Yi shuddered and walked out, "Mistress, you can't wrongly accuse me. I haven't called the Master for a long time."
Lan Yuxi glared at him impatiently, "If it wasn't you, was it Eagle?"
Eagle walked out, "I have only one master, and that is you!"
Lan Yuxi picked at her ear, "If it wasn't you two, could there be a third person?"
"Mistress Xi, perhaps you should check your phone?" Eagle suggested.
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly, picked up her phone, glanced at it, and then put it down. Forget it, he was still angry. She'd deal with it when they got home.
Nan Yi, with a face like a bitter gourd, was about to turn invisible when Lan Yuxi called out to him.
"You two, don't leave yet. I have something to tell you. This weekend..."
Before she could finish speaking, Eagle vanished with a whoosh.
Lan Yuxi pressed her forehead, gritted her teeth, and said, "Eagle, do you know what it means to escape the beginning of the month but not the middle?"
Nan Yi chuckled and then also ran off.
A moment later, from a corner, a suppressed male baritone could be heard.
"Mistress is addicted to playing matchmaker, not even sparing us."
"Mistress Xi is doing it for your own good. This weekend, you will go with Mistress Xi."
"I will definitely go, because I need to protect Mistress. Is the number one bodyguard going to skip work that day?"
"I'll follow secretly, but I won't show myself."
Nan Yi chuckled maliciously. As long as you dare to go, Mistress will be able to drag you out.
However, he didn't say these words to Eagle because he wanted to see Eagle embarrassed!
After all, he was so arrogant every day, acting like Mistress was number one and he was number two!
Lunch arrived quickly. Before eating, Lan Yuxi specifically took a photo and sent it to Nan Xiao.
[Thank you for the lunch, husband. I'm starting to eat~]
[Eat properly!]
Nan Xiao replied emotionlessly.
Lan Yuxi pouted. These two only knew how to anger her. She was already full from anger, what was the point of eating anything!
However, if she didn't eat, she'd suffer tonight. Lan Yuxi resignedly picked up her chopsticks, "Stop whispering over there, you two. Come and eat."
