Nan Xiao smiled, "You've seen him?"
"Yes! He's always online with my brother, teaching us skills," Mu Mu wriggled her little nose, "But he just doesn't let us see his face or hear his voice."
"If he doesn't want us to see, we don't care to!"
"Mhm. He's definitely not as handsome as Daddy!"
"What are we going to see Mom doing?" Nan Xiao asked, then carried his daughter downstairs.
Downstairs, Chao Chao was playing chess against his grandfather and maternal grandfather. Seeing his father come down with his sister, the little boy smiled with relief.
"Where's Mom?" Mu Mu, as if sensing what her father was thinking, asked.
"Mom went out." Chao Chao saw his grandfather finally make a move and placed a chess piece.
Nan Xiao glanced out the window and walked out with his daughter.
Nan Zhenting glanced at his son and chuckled helplessly, "When Yu Xi was little, he held her like this every day. Now that Yu Xi has grown up, he's started holding his daughter again."
Lan Haolin curled his lips slightly, "I loved holding Zi Xin when she was little too. Her little body was so soft and she was very obedient."
Nan Zhenting paused for a moment, "Yu Xi tricked me into thinking Zi Xin was gone forever, which made me sad for a long time. I heard from your sister-in-law that the child wasn't very healthy. How is she now?"
"Her body is a bit weak, but after taking the medicine Yu Xi prepared for her, she's gotten much better. After she finishes this course of medicine, I'll assess the situation. If possible, I'll arrange for you to meet."
"That would be wonderful!" Grandpa Nan paused, then looked up at Lan Haolin, "Xiao Ling... is she alright?"
"She's doing great!" Lan Haolin raised his eyebrows slightly, "I've always wondered what you were thinking back then, to not marry such a good person and instead bring a shrew home."
Chao Chao glanced at his grandfather and then at his maternal grandfather, "Grandpa, Grandpa, you lost. I'm going to find my sister."
The little boy then ran out. The question his maternal grandfather had just asked was too awkward, and he was too young to hear it.
In the back garden, Lan Yu Xi was talking to a tall bodyguard. Nan Xiao watched from a distance, feeling that the man looked very familiar.
Seeing her father stop, Mu Mu hugged his neck and said, "That person is Mom's most capable assistant – Ying. Mom must have something very important to discuss with him."
Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. For Xi Bao to be looking for her most capable assistant at this time, it could only be about his matters.
Thinking of this, Nan Xiao suddenly remembered why this person named Ying looked so familiar. That time when they went to raid the Nan family, this person had been by Lan Yu Xi's side.
"Beep... beep..."
A loud ringtone came from behind him. Lan Yu Xi turned to look at Nan Xiao standing not far away.
Nan Xiao took out his phone, pressed the answer button, and said, "Wait," before hanging up.
"Wife, Nan Yi is here. Call the gatekeeper and let him in."
Lan Yu Xi glanced at Ying. Ying understood and nodded, taking out his phone to make a call.
Lan Yu Xi walked up to Nan Xiao, "If you want Nan Yi to protect us, the three of us, then forget it. The bodyguards at Half Mountain Villa are comparable to a special forces company. I don't have space to accommodate them."
"I'm having him come over to meet the Mistress, nothing else." Nan Xiao glanced in Ying's direction, "What do you need him for? Do you want him to go with me?"
"Can he?"
"No! Didn't you forget what I told you? Only when you're safe here can I rest assured."
Lan Yu Xi pursed her lips, "I knew this would be the outcome. So, I didn't arrange for him to go with you. I was just asking him about the arrangements in Myanmar."
Nan Xiao apologetically caressed her head, "I'm sorry for making you worry about me."
"What are you saying! You worried about me a lot when I was little." Lan Yu Xi turned her head to look at a small figure approaching and asked with a smile, "Son, won another game?"
Chao Chao smiled with his small mouth pursed, "Mhm. Mom, I saw a stranger come in. Is he here to see Dad?"
Nan Xiao reached out and pulled Lan Yu Xi closer, "Nan Yi is here. Let's go meet him."
Lan Yu Xi nodded and offered her other hand to her son.
Chao Chao quickly took his mother's hand.
The family of four quickly returned to the living room.
Nan Yi was reporting to Nan Zhenting. Seeing Nan Xiao and Lan Yu Xi enter, he bowed respectfully, "Patriarch, Mistress."
Nan Xiao grunted in response, then gently stroked Mu Mu's back and said in a deep voice, "These are my son and daughter."
Nan Yi quickly bowed again, "Young Master, Young Miss."
Chao Chao, with a stern little face, said, "Uncle, please sit."
Nan Yi bowed, flattered, "Thank you, Young Master. Your subordinate is more accustomed to standing."
Mu Mu hugged her father's neck and looked at Nan Yi with a smile, "It's strange, there are still people in this world who are willing to stand."
Nan Xiao smiled and pinched her rosy little cheek, then said to Nan Yi, "When I go to Myanmar this time, I'll take Xiang Dong and Nan Er with me. You will stay in the capital to be responsible for the safety of Grandpa, my mother, Xi Bao, and the two children."
"Yes!" Nan Yi responded respectfully.
Lan Yu Xi frowned and looked at him. They had agreed that Nan Yi would go with him, so why the change of heart?
Nan Xiao patted her hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, I have a plan."
After speaking, Nan Xiao looked at Nan Yi again, "Did you bring the attendants you scouted for the Young Master and Young Miss?"
"I did."
"Later, you'll bring them in for the Mistress and the two children to review." Nan Xiao paused, then continued, "I have one more important thing to instruct... From now on, whether I am in the capital or not, the Mistress's orders are my orders. You must obey."
"Yes!"
Lan Yu Xi pouted her lips, "Nan Yi, since you promised to obey my orders, I now order you to go to Myanmar with Nan Xiao."
Nan Yi was slightly stunned and looked up at Nan Xiao.
Nan Xiao said in a deep voice, "You do not need to obey this order."
Lan Yu Xi angrily clasped his hand, secretly increasing the pressure.
Nan Xiao curled his lips slightly, whispered in her ear, and lowered his voice, "Don't fuss. To ensure safety, I'll take those death warriors with me."
Lan Yu Xi looked at him in astonishment.
To make her believe him, Nan Xiao nodded heavily.
Lan Yu Xi looked at him deeply. The whereabouts of those death warriors were arranged by Er Wan. She could find out with a single phone call, so she believed he was telling the truth.
Seeing that she had stopped making a fuss, Nan Xiao then said to Nan Yi, "Go and bring those children in."
Nan Yi responded and walked out quickly.
Mu Mu looked at her father curiously, "Daddy, what are attendants?"
Nan Zhenting chuckled from the side, "They are people who will accompany you for a lifetime. You must choose them carefully later."
