Nan Yi and Ying had just arrived when Huo Ding and Mu Luxi emerged from the elevator, carrying food boxes.
“Eating already so early!” Huo Ding exclaimed with a smile, “Looks like we’re late.”
“Not late, you’ve arrived just in time. Nan Xiao sent it early,” Lan Yu Xi smiled at Mu Luxi, “You two haven’t eaten either, have you? Let’s eat together.”
“Let’s eat in the lounge,” Mu Luxi said, picking up the food box Nan Xiao had sent, “Come on, after eating, you can rest in the lounge.”
Lan Yu Xi didn’t refuse and followed her into the lounge.
After everyone had lunch, there was still no news from the operating room. Lan Yu Xi told Huo Ding and the others to rest while she continued to wait.
Shortly after, Lan Xiao Qi, who had also finished lunch, arrived pushing Nai Nai.
Lan Yu Xi smiled and walked over, “Nai Nai, why are you here? Can your body handle it?”
“I’m much better, I can get out of bed and walk by myself now,” Nai Nai stood up, holding onto the wheelchair, “The surgery isn’t finished yet?”
“It will take at least another two hours,” Lan Yu Xi reached out to support her, “Let’s go sit in the lounge first.”
Nai Nai nodded and cast a worried glance at the operating room as she left. A cerebral arteriovenous malformation was no joke; it could be fatal at any moment.
Lan Yu Xi patted her hand reassuringly and helped her into the lounge.
After the three of them sat down, Lan Yu Xi looked at Lan Xiao Qi, “Seventh Brother, is your heart still racing?”
Lan Xiao Qi shook his head, “Less than ten minutes after Sixth Brother went into the operating room, it stopped. Sixth Brother has better self-control. Once he’s on the operating table, he’s more stable than anyone.”
“Then I’m relieved. I was truly afraid he would go mad and act recklessly.”
Lan Xiao Qi smiled helplessly, “The person lying on the operating table is the woman he’s been longing to find. Even if he’s truly mad, he wouldn’t hurt her. Why don’t you go back? I’ll stay here.”
“We’ve waited this long, two more hours won’t matter.”
Knowing he couldn’t persuade her, Lan Xiao Qi changed the subject, “I heard Nan Xiao is also going back to Nokas this time?”
“Yes, he’s going for official business. After that, we’ll take the children to the M country.”
“To see the place where you lived?”
Lan Yu Xi smiled and nodded, “He always regrets missing those four years. Let him see it, it will ease his mind a bit.”
Lan Xiao Qi sighed softly. Nan Xiao would probably only see the surface. How difficult those four years were for his sister, though she and the children never spoke of it, they could imagine it from the children’s words.
Lan Yu Xi smiled and patted his arm, “Why the sigh? You’re like an old man!”
Lan Xiao Qi forced a smile, “Oh, right. Nai Nai means, since Uncle Sandy doesn’t know Nai Nai is injured, let’s not tell them.”
“They probably already know but haven’t brought it up, perhaps to spare me guilt.”
Nai Nai reached out and held her hand, “Sister Xi’er, please don’t feel guilty. Rather than saying I saved Mu Mu, it’s more like Mu Mu saved me.”
As she spoke, Nai Nai quickly glanced at Lan Xiao Qi, “Also, if it weren’t for this accident, Seven Brother and I wouldn’t have gotten together.”
Lan Yu Xi was slightly stunned, then smiled, “Is this an official announcement?”
Nai Nai lowered her head, her face flushed, “It was my fault before. I did many things I shouldn’t have done just to get Seven Brother’s attention. After getting injured this time, I’ve come to understand many things.”
Lan Xiao Qi smiled and glanced at her, “You promised me you’d always be sensible. If you’re still as troublesome as before, I’ll spank you!”
Nai Nai glared at him playfully, “I know, I’m this old, how can I go back on my word!”
Lan Xiao Qi smiled and stroked her head, “Yes, you always keep your word!”
Lan Yu Xi smiled with relief. It seemed like her brothers would all find partners, but what about Sixth Brother…
Lan Yu Xi glanced towards the operating room through the open door.
“Don’t worry, Sixth Brother has performed many surgeries like this.” Lan Xiao Qi frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, “Since finding out that ungrateful wretch had a cerebral arteriovenous malformation, Sixth Brother stopped all his other research and focused on cerebral arteriovenous malformations for over a year. But he never found that ungrateful wretch until his skills were mature.”
Nai Nai tugged at his sleeve, “Seventh Brother, when you’re in front of Sixth Brother, absolutely don’t call him an ungrateful wretch. Sixth Brother will get angry.”
Lan Xiao Qi pouted, “If he dares to get angry with me, I’ll cut off all ties with him!”
Nai Nai let out a giggle, “You call me childish, but you’re more immature than I am.”
Lan Yu Xi nodded in agreement, “I think so too… Ow! Seventh Brother, how dare you flick my forehead! I’m cutting off ties with you!”
Lan Xiao Qi quickly retracted his hand, “I saw that Rolls-Royce had released a limited edition model recently, so I ordered one for you. It should arrive in a few days.”
Lan Yu Xi snorted, “You bought it for yourself, didn’t you!”
After receiving Lan Xiao Qi’s look, Nai Nai quickly said, “Sister Xi’er, you’re really wronging Seven Brother. That car was really bought for you, because it’s pink.”
“Alright, let’s assume it was bought for me,” Lan Yu Xi pouted, “Since it was bought for me, neither of you is allowed to drive it!”
Nai Nai hesitantly raised her small hand, “Sister Xi’er, I’m not allowed either? I won’t drive it out, I’ll just drive it around the villa’s courtyard for fun.”
Lan Yu Xi gave her a knowing look.
Lan Xiao Qi quickly pressed Nai Nai’s hand down, “Next time they release a new model, I’ll buy it for you. We won’t drive her car.”
Nai Nai’s eyes lit up with a smile, “Really?! Thank you, Seven Brother. My brother never buys me gifts, he just gives me cards. With so many cards, when will I ever finish spending them?”
Lan Yu Xi smiled and said, “You won’t finish them, ask your Seven Brother. He’s very good at spending money. When I returned home, each of my six brothers bought me a car. But for you, he bought a car and a villa. For that, he was almost beaten up by his six brothers.”
Nai Nai chimed in with a smile, “I know about this! Eldest Brother told my brother that Seven Brother did that just to bribe Sister Xi’er, so Sister Xi’er would only be good to him.”
Lan Yu Xi snorted, “His plan did work at first. But ever since he helped Sixth Brother hide Yin Lu from me, I decided I wasn’t going to be good to him anymore, hmph! Don’t think a car can buy me off!”
Nai Nai quickly looked at Lan Xiao Qi.
She looked at Lan Xiao Qi, while Lan Xiao Qi looked at Lan Yu Xi with longing eyes.
“Sister, Seven Brother had his reasons. Uh, as long as you’re not angry, just tell me, whose embarrassing secrets do you want to know? I’ll reveal everything today, I’m going all out!”
