If it weren't for the assassination attempt on Su Nanyin, Li Qianfan would have gone to the Magic City to visit CEO Chen two days ago.
CEO Chen had called CEO Zhao several times, hoping Li Qianfan would appear at his designated location within the specified time to accept his summons.
However, Li Qianfan had completely ignored him.
The more "condescending" CEO Chen acted, the less Li Qianfan wanted to go.
But when CEO Chen thought Li Qianfan was no longer paying attention to him, he would go to the Magic City himself.
He hadn't settled the score yet regarding the rumors that a certain Empress had conceived a child with a certain popular idol!
It was because of Su Nanyin's assassination attempt that Li Qianfan had postponed this matter.
Unexpectedly, Su Nanyin asked him to deal with it today.
She even told him directly that he must never come to the backyard again, or she would disfigure her own face!
Why would she say that?
Li Qianfan looked at the woman quietly, remaining silent for a long time.
As soon as he learned that Su Ziyu had found the Miao Jiang Gu King, Li Qianfan knew that his aging was no longer a threat to him.
He no longer had to worry about needing a certain Empress to wear shackles and kneel to curb his aging.
However—
At that time, Li Qianfan had not told Su Nanyin that Su Ziyu had already found the Gu King.
Because the matter of "Four Phoenixes Circling the Beam" affecting East Earth's maritime transport, was it true or false?
After he left Su Nanyin, would she only have one year left to live?
The key point was that he genuinely enjoyed living in the Su family life now.
Today—
The Seventh Elder and Ye Tianjiao visited and explicitly told Su Nanyin that Su Ziyu had found the Miao Jiang Gu King and was cultivating a pair of bi-winged birds that could curb Li Qianfan's aging.
Su Nanyin finally realized the truth.
Especially Ye Tianjiao's blunt words made Su Nanyin make up her mind.
When Ye Tianjiao looked at her with disdain, Su Nanyin did not flinch, opening her eyes wide and saying she was pregnant.
This nearly choked Ye Tianjiao to death—
But when the Seventh Master and Ye Tianjiao left, Su Nanyin immediately drove Li Qianfan away.
Actually, it wasn't driving him away.
He was still the sky that a caterpillar couldn't leave.
He was still the secretary to the Deputy Manager of Anren Su.
Su Nanyin only asked Li Qianfan never to come to the backyard again!
Because the backyard was her world.
Her refusal to let Li Qianfan come to the backyard was also her firmest stance against wearing shackles.
As for whether this would affect East Earth's maritime transport—
Su Nanyin only cared about Li Qianfan's life or death, and she didn't care if maritime transport was stable!
"Qianfan, let's go."
After looking at each other for a long time, Su Nanyin raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek, saying softly, "Remember, don't come to the backyard again. Otherwise, I might really not be able to control myself. Actually, you can also feel that I'm becoming more and more unrestrained in front of you, right?"
After speaking, she opened the door and went inside.
Li Qianfan stood silently at the door for a while, then turned and walked to the small pavilion.
With a *click*, he lit a cigarette.
He looked up at the sky, not moving for a long time.
He knew there were three main reasons why Su Nanyin "drove" him away.
One.
He chose Dai Paipai.
Two.
He no longer needed her to wear shackles and kneel to curb his aging.
Three.
She was gradually losing control of herself.
Footsteps sounded.
Su Nanyin, dragging a suitcase, walked out of the backyard living room and headed towards the middle courtyard.
That suitcase contained all of Li Qianfan's belongings from the backyard.
Su Nanyin found the best guest room in the middle courtyard living room and personally tidied everything up for him.
Li Qianfan also came to the middle courtyard living room and sat on the sofa, lost in his thoughts.
After Su Nanyin had tidied everything up for him, she walked out of the living room without looking at him and called out, "Uncle Kui."
Uncle Kui quickly appeared before her: "Young Miss."
"I'm pregnant."
Su Nanyin said in a flat tone, "To prevent Qianfan from being careless and harming the child, he can only live in the middle courtyard from now on."
Li Qianfan's eyebrows twitched sharply.
Uncle Kui, however, showed no surprise and nodded.
"Pass down the order."
Su Nanyin thought for a moment and then said, "From now on, Li Qianfan is the head of the Su family (Da Dangle). Also, have Su Xin and Xiao Lu come over. Arrange bedrooms for the three young ladies. When the head of the family is here, they will be in the middle courtyard. When the head of the family is not here, they can return to the backyard. From now on, all visitors, even CEO Zhao, can only be entertained in the front courtyard. Also, help me bring back a Buddha statue. Build a Buddhist hall in the backyard for me to pray for the unborn child when I return home."
"Okay, I'll arrange it immediately."
Uncle Kui agreed and quickly left.
"Qianfan, you should go and attend to your own matters. Don't wait for Mao Mao Chong Yao to come back, or they will definitely surround you and ask endless questions. Especially Yao Yao, she will pester you to go to the Magic City. But with Anren here, she can't leave. Qianfan, you must be careful outside. If you need my support, call me anytime."
Standing at the door, Su Nanyin said these words with her back to Li Qianfan, then walked away.
Li Qianfan silently stood up and walked out of the middle courtyard living room.
As he walked out of the Su family's main gate, he looked back, feeling an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.
But he quickly got into the small blue car and started it.
This afternoon.
Work began in the Su family backyard to build the Buddhist hall that Su Nanyin had requested for prayers.
In fact, there was no need to build a new house; they only needed to tidy up the west side room, but it had to be decorated like a Buddhist hall.
The sky.
Gradually darkened.
Mao Mao Chong Yao also finished work one after another.
Seeing the "great changes" at home, they were all shocked.
And confused—
They were just pregnant.
Even if they were afraid of losing control and being together, they could be careful.
Why drive him to the middle courtyard?
Isn't the middle courtyard less comfortable than the backyard?
The key point is, isn't it lonely to be alone in the backyard?
Even more importantly, even if a certain Empress drove a certain man out of the backyard, they were in the same office, right?
If they really couldn't control themselves, couldn't they do it in the office or in the car?
Really, they just engaged in this useless formalism.
Especially Du Yao Yao, who was most dissatisfied with Su Nanyin: "Why didn't Qianfan tell me he was going to the Magic City? I wanted to go with him and make some pocket money there."
"You only know how to stuff your eyes with money all day."
Su Nanyin gave her a sideways glance and said, "Besides, after that brat makes some extra money in the Magic City, would he dare not share it with the four of us? Otherwise, humph."
Yao Yao suddenly realized: "Right, right. But I still want to go!"
Su Nanyin frowned: "You can't go. Because Dai Paipai, whom that philanderer let go, might reappear at any time. I still need you to protect me. Unless you want to return from the Magic City and immediately wear mourning clothes and cry for your mother."
Mentioning Dai Paipai, Yao Yao's desire to go to the Magic City to make money vanished instantly.
Then she gritted her teeth: "When I see that smelly woman, I will tear her into pieces."
"Alright, hurry up and eat."
Su Nanyin walked towards the kitchen: "We'll play cards after dinner."
That night.
Su Nanyin, who usually could sweep Mao Mao Chong Yao, lost terribly.
Night fell once again.
The Socialite Disco.
In a corner booth not far from the bar, two men were drinking.
"There's no rush to go to the Magic City."
Li Nanfang swirled his wine glass and said, "Anyway, the vampires (Guanyin worms) in East Earth are basically under control. The Yang testing business of the Yao family in Si Jiu has also shrunk significantly. Especially since we are adopting a real-name registration system for on-site injections of Qianfan No. 1 during free treatment. This is the most effective way to prevent the special medicine from flowing out. This makes Europe and America, where Guanyin worms are rampant, even more eager to obtain the special medicine. The later you go to the Magic City, the greater the benefits you will receive."
Hmm.
Li Qianfan, sitting beside him, nodded: "I thought the same thing. Otherwise, I would have set off for the Magic City today."
"Go ahead."
Li Nanfang lit a cigarette and asked, "What is the reason you asked me out tonight?"
Sigh.
Li Qianfan, who had spent the entire day accompanying Zhai Xing at Hongye Private Hospital, sighed.
He recounted everything: catching up with Dai Paipai the night before; the Seventh Elder and Ye Tianjiao visiting the Su family yesterday; and the decisions Su Nanyin made after they left.
Finally.
Li Qianfan said, "I don't want her to die. I also don't want the maritime transport to be unstable. But I don't need her now to curb my aging. Especially my attitude towards Dai Paipai made her realize something. She no longer cares about her own life or death, nor about maritime transport. She just wants to carry this stigma and quietly await death. I feel like there's a stone stuck in my heart."
Li Nanfang could deeply understand his grandson's current feelings.
Li Nanfang nodded: "I know very well what kind of person Su Nanyin is. Since she has made up her mind, she will not change it."
He paused.
He continued, "Qianfan, I suggest you return to Tiandong now and rest for a while, and adjust your mindset. I believe that the problems that are troubling you now will eventually be resolved."
Hmm.
Li Qianfan nodded with low spirits.
Li Nanfang suddenly asked, "Kid, do you want to pick up a pretty girl tonight?"
What?
Li Qianfan was stunned, looked up at his "improper" grandfather.
Following his gaze and looking back—
He saw a tall,妩媚 (fumei - charming/alluring) and delicate-looking girl walking from the bar area, holding a glass of wine.
