Tang Wan walked in with a smile, "Did I interrupt you?"
Nan Xiao shook his head with a smile, "No, Mom, is there anything?"
Tang Wan closed the door behind her and lowered her voice, "Xi'er, is Wan Qi pregnant?"
Lan Yu Xi was slightly taken aback, "No."
Tang Wan glared at her unhappily, "I gave birth to eight of you, and you think you can hide such a thing from me?"
"You only had four painful experiences giving birth to us eight, so you're bound to have missed something," Lan Yu Xi muttered softly.
Tang Wan angrily poked her forehead, "Don't try to fool me. I just passed by the kitchen and smelled medicine. You're brewing medicine to prevent miscarriage. Does Wan Qi want to keep this child? Do your parents know?"
"You really miss nothing." Lan Yu Xi sighed, "Wan Qi asked me to talk to my parents, but I don't want to talk yet, because I want to give the child's father a chance. If he comes in person, this will be easily resolved."
"Whose child?"
"If he has a heart, you'll see him tomorrow. Mom, you have to help me keep this a secret for one day. If the child's father doesn't come, I'll tell my parents."
"Your sisters, what kind of fate do you have..." Tang Wan sighed, then stopped herself upon remembering her son-in-law was still present.
"Mu Mu still needs to sleep with Wan Qi tonight. I have to go persuade her not to disturb Wan Qi's rest," Tang Wan said, then hurried out.
Nan Xiao embraced Lan Yu Xi with an apologetic look, "Wan Qi is going through what you went through before. At that time, you must have been even more lost than she is now..."
Lan Yu Xi quickly covered his mouth, "Stop talking, it's all in the past."
Nan Xiao pulled her hand down and kissed it, "Let's go out. I'll go with the two kids, and you can comfort Wan Qi."
Lan Yu Xi smiled and took his hand as they walked out.
Nan Xiao took the two little ones back to the bedroom, while Lan Yu Xi accompanied Luo Wan Qi to the guest room.
Lan Yu Xi got her new pajamas. After she changed, they leaned against the headboard and chatted about the past.
The sisters talked and laughed more and more happily, to the point where Luo Wan Qi was laughing so hard her stomach hurt.
Seeing the brilliant smile on her face, Lan Yu Xi finally felt at ease. She went downstairs to bring her the medicine.
Luo Wan Qi got up and opened the curtains. The sky was dotted with stars, and the moon seemed much brighter than before.
Luo Wan Qi squeezed her fingers hard. If Yu Xi could get through it, she definitely could too.
Lan Yu Xi soon came back with the medicine.
"Wan Qi, time for medicine."
Luo Wan Qi took the medicine with a smile, pinched her nose, and drank it in one gulp.
Lan Yu Xi quickly handed her honey water.
Luo Wan Qi took a few sips and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Lan Yu Xi glared at her, "What's there to thank! When I was pregnant with Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu, didn't you serve me like this? Not only that, but you also helped me raise the children for several years. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I'll always be here."
Luo Wan Qi smiled, "You go rest, I'm sleepy too and want to sleep."
"I'll stay with you."
"No need, go keep Nan Xiao company. I heard Mu Mu say Nan Xiao hasn't been home all day."
"He's not a child, he doesn't need me to keep him company."
Luo Wan Qi pushed her out with a smile, "I want to stay with you for a few more days. If I keep monopolizing you, he'll kick me out sooner or later."
"He..."
Before Lan Yu Xi could finish her sentence, Luo Wan Qi closed the door.
Lan Yu Xi smiled helplessly and returned to the bedroom.
Nan Xiao had already put the two children to sleep. Seeing her come in, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought you weren't coming back."
"I intended not to come back, but Wan Qi pushed me out."
Nan Xiao gave her a wronged look, bent down, scooped her up, and went straight to the bathroom.
An hour later, they returned to bed.
Lan Yu Xi supported her sore waist and turned over with difficulty. She refused to look at this wicked man!
Nan Xiao smiled and pulled her into his arms, "Wife, have you ever thought that Wan Qi might hate you?"
Nan Xiao's topic truly made Lan Yu Xi forget her soreness.
She tilted her head up to look at him, "I asked her the same question. Wan Qi said she was jealous but never hated me. After she spent that night with Joyce, she wasn't even jealous."
"Do you believe her?"
"I believe her. She's been my playmate since we were kids. I can tell if she's telling the truth or not."
"Then what about me? Can you tell if I'm telling the truth or not?"
"I can't, but I know you wouldn't lie to me... Beep beep..."
Nan Xiao's phone suddenly rang.
Nan Xiao picked up his phone with a frown, "Xiang Dong, what is it?"
"Something happened in Myanmar."
Nan Xiao propped himself up on the bed, "What happened?"
"The mine collapsed, and the workers are trapped underneath. Some have been rescued, but there are about a dozen people still trapped below."
Nan Xiao threw off the covers and got out of bed, "Prepare the private jet, I'm coming over."
"Wait," Lan Yu Xi said, stopping him, "Give me ten minutes, then you can decide whether to go or not."
Lan Yu Xi got out of bed and went straight to the desk, opened her computer, and clicked on a chat window.
Eight minutes later, Lan Yu Xi turned to Nan Xiao, who was already dressed, and said, "Those ten people have been rescued by Mei Xi's people. They told me the jade mine collapse was intentional, and the losses were not significant. Your people are already handling it."
Lan Yu Xi tapped lightly on the desk, pondered for a moment, "I don't recommend you go. I'm afraid this is another trap."
Nan Xiao pondered for a moment and took out his phone to call Nan Xiang Nan, "There was an accident at the jade mine in Myanmar. You go handle it."
"Okay. I'll leave immediately."
"Go straight to the airport. Be careful when you get there."
"Okay."
Nan Xiao hung up Nan Xiang Nan's call and then dialed Nan Xiang Dong's, "The people there have all been rescued. I've sent Xiang Nan to handle it. Assign him more men and make sure he's safe."
Lan Yu Xi listened for a while and then opened a hidden software on her computer.
The couple worked until past midnight before going to bed.
The next day, Nan Xiao personally took Lan Yu Xi to the academy. To let everyone know that Lan Yu Xi had a husband, he even took Lan Yu Xi for a tour of the academy before leaving.
At noon, as Lan Yu Xi came out of the classroom, she saw a large golden head.
Lan Yu Xi glared at him unhappily, "You're quite fast!"
Qiao Yisi looked at her pitifully, "Master, I was wrong."
"Wrong about what? Come, go to my office and tell me properly!" Lan Yu Xi grabbed his tie and dragged him into the office.
With a "bang," Lan Yu Xi kicked the door shut.
Qiao Yisi quickly covered his face in fright, "Master, don't hit my face, okay? I have to see Wan Qi later."
