Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes at him, "There's an old saying in Hua country: you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your cubs. I can protect myself."
Camino looked at her deeply, "If Nan Xiao were in this situation, what would he do?"
"Because he understands me, he would support me unconditionally."
"Then what if you were in danger?"
"He would risk his life to protect me."
"Understood."
Lan Yuxi smiled and glanced at him, "Uncle Sandy gave you a few looks today. He's probably going to start urging you to get married. Do you have anyone in mind?"
"How about I marry a Hua country wife? What do you think?"
"Your wife will be the future Queen of Nocas. Do you think marrying a foreigner is appropriate?"
"Then I'll listen to them."
"But you have to like her yourself. Otherwise, how will you live your life?"
Camino sighed softly, "Even if I don't like her, as long as she meets my parents' conditions, I really don't care."
Lan Yuxi patted his shoulder, "Be prudent!"
As they were talking, Chao Chao and Mu Mu ran in, hand in hand.
"Mom~" Mu Mu said in a childish voice, "Grandma Bess bought me so many beautiful floral dresses. Will you go pick them with me?"
"Of course," Lan Yuxi smiled and took her children's hands, "Let's go pick floral dresses."
Chao Chao, with a serious expression, looked at Camino, "Uncle, are you going?"
Camino smiled, "You go ahead. I've been out for a while, and it's time for me to go back."
Chao Chao curled his lips slightly and walked out with his mother.
The mother and her two children were led by a servant to the rear hall. In the rear hall, besides Bess and Tang Wan, there was also a young Nocas girl.
Bess smiled and took Lan Yuxi's hand, "Yuxi, let me introduce you. This is Jenny from Marquis Bert's family. She's a famous fashion designer. She designed Chao Chao and Mu Mu's clothes."
Lan Yuxi looked at the smile on Bess's face and immediately understood. This Jenny must be the one she chose for Camino as his future queen.
"Hello, Jenny."
"Hello, Princess Xi."
They only hugged briefly, and Lan Yuxi could sense her resistance.
Lan Yuxi smiled and let go of her, looking at the more than a dozen children's outfits hanging on the rack, "Wow, they're so beautiful! Jenny, you're amazing!"
Jenny curled her lips slightly, "Princess Xi flatters me."
Tang Wan glanced at Jenny and smiled at Bess, "Where's Nai Nai? I don't see her."
"Don't you know? She's been interning at your family's hospital for a while."
Tang Wan was startled, "Nai Nai graduated so quickly?"
"There's still a year left. She'll be interning at Lan Ling Hospital this year."
"Sixth and Seventh brothers are really something. They didn't even tell me."
"I heard Nai Nai say that yesterday, Shang Lun and Xi'er worked together on a surgery for over ten hours, and even Shang Tai took on a major surgery. They must have been exhausted and forgot to tell you."
Tang Wan looked at Lan Yuxi, "Did your sixth and seventh brothers tell you about this?"
Lan Yuxi shook her head, "No, yesterday's surgery was too intense. There wasn't time to chat."
Tang Wan sighed, "This child! I must have a good talk with them when we get back. I hope they don't overwork my Nai Nai."
"There's no need to talk to them. This is her own choice. Even if she's tired, she'll endure it," Bess asked with a smile, "Who is sick that has alerted your whole family?"
Tang Wan looked at Lan Yuxi.
Lan Yuxi smiled and said, "Auntie, this patient is my benefactor. Without him, I might have died long ago. He was injured this time, and since it's close to Nocas, I arranged for him to have surgery here."
"Oh, I see. Since he's your benefactor, he's also our family's benefactor. If he hadn't saved you, you wouldn't have been able to save Sandy. I'll go see him tomorrow."
Lan Yuxi smiled, "No rush, he hasn't woken up yet. You can go when he wakes up."
"Alright, let me know when he wakes up."
"Okay..."
"Mom..." As the voice faded, a figure ran in from outside the hall.
Bess was surprised to see her daughter return, "Why are you back at this time?"
Nai Nai, seeing Tang Wan there, threw herself into her arms crying, "Auntie, Lan Mu Tai yelled at me!"
Tang Wan quickly wiped her tears, "Good girl, don't cry. Auntie will beat him up later! How dare he bully my Nai Nai, he must be tired of living!"
Nai Nai sobbed and shook her head, "No, if you hit him, he'll be in pain. Just scold him fiercely for me."
Lan Yuxi let out a chuckle.
Nai Nai then noticed the presence of others, "Sister Yuxi, I'm being bullied, and you're still laughing!"
Lan Yuxi, suppressing her laughter, handed her a tissue, "You! He scolded you until you cried, and you're still protecting him. How much do you love him!"
Nai Nai pouted, "I don't love him at all. The one I like is Lan Mu Lun!"
Lan Yuxi smiled and said, "That's easy. If you like my sixth brother, you can come with me when I return to Hua country."
"...No, I can't leave my mother."
Lan Yuxi smiled and poked her head, "You say one thing and mean another! Alright, don't be upset. When we get back, I'll scold him for you."
Nai Nai smiled upon hearing this, "You must scold him fiercely!"
Bess glared at her unhappily, "Shang Tai has such a good temper. If he scolded you, there must be a reason. Don't play the victim here!"
"I'm not playing the victim. He performed surgery for almost twenty hours and didn't eat anything. I went to his lounge to bring him food... Before I could say anything, he told me to get out!"
Mu Mu whispered in Chao Chao's ear, "I know why little uncle yelled at pretty auntie."
Nai Nai's sharp ears caught the sound and she looked over, "Hey! You two little cuties are here too! Come here, let auntie hug you."
Chao Chao pushed his sister forward, while he took a step back.
Nai Nai looked at Chao Chao with a wronged expression, "Am I being disliked?"
Chao Chao explained very seriously, "No, dear Princess, I'm just not used to interacting with strangers."
Nai Nai pointed at Chao Chao and looked at Lan Yuxi, "Sister Yuxi, your son not only looks like Lan Mu Tai, but his expression is exactly the same. Also, Mu Mu, you just said you know why your little uncle yelled at me. Is that true?"
Mu Mu nodded vigorously, "Before I tell you the answer, can I ask how you know who I am?"
"Of course, your little uncle... Of course, I accidentally saw the photo in your little uncle's wallet."
Mu Mu covered her mouth and smiled, "You peeked at your little uncle's wallet and disturbed his sleep, so it's no wonder he yelled at you!"
