Yu Ziyue's voice startled Qi Jiayou awake. He seemed hesitant. Their brothers were always decisive and ruthless in their actions, a fatal flaw that absolutely could not be tolerated!
So Qi Jiayou's eyes hardened, and he signed his strong, powerful name on the paper, but he was momentarily lost.
Seeing that Qi Jiayou had not responded, Yu Ziyue stepped forward and took it. She smiled and looked down at the man's resolute profile carved on the paper, returning to her usual demeanor.
"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for letting me go. I'll repay the money soon."
Yu Ziyue even thoughtfully proposed a repayment time. Anyway, her mother was returning today, so she would ask her for it and repay this man first.
She truly didn't want any further contact with this man. He was a dangerous man, and her father had always taught her to stay away from dangerous and scheming people, prioritizing safety above all else.
Her wish was very simple: to live a pure and happy life. She disliked complex people and worlds. Wasn't simplicity better?
However, Yu Ziyue never imagined that her family background made this impossible. The people she knew and interacted with were all different.
Exiting the doors of Qi's Group, Yu Ziyue looked up at the glaring sunlight.
She thought she would be happy to be free, but her heart felt闷闷 (mēn mèn -闷闷不乐, feeling down/depressed) and uncomfortable, just like yesterday, even worse than yesterday.
She attributed it to feeling unwell, so she immediately took a taxi back to the villa, then lay down on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Today, when Xuan Mohan woke up, his right eyelid kept twitching, and his heart felt restless. He didn't know why, only that this feeling was very irritating.
He was originally sleeping in the next room, but after Lan Qianqian hadn't come out all day, he slept on the sofa in this room last night.
There were only three rooms. The children had one, and Aunt Tong had one. However, he had seen that Aunt Tong's room was locked, so no matter how much she changed, she still had them deep in her heart, didn't she?
Looking at the warm dishes in front of him, Xuan Mohan could no longer hide his worry. Qianqian hadn't eaten for two days since that day. If this continued, her body would definitely not be able to hold on.
"President, should we just break down the door?"
Li An stood by, tentatively suggesting. He was there to solve problems for the President. Seeing how worried the President was, there was no need to guess his thoughts.
Li An dared to say that this was the closest he had ever been to the President. He was too approachable!
Xuan Mohan cast a cold glance at him. Whose door was he going to break down?
However, in the next second, Xuan Mohan stood up from the sofa. Because he had slept on the sofa all night, his limbs were a bit stiff.
When he walked to the door of Lan Qianqian's room, he looked at the cute cat sticker on the door and knocked lightly.
There was no response from inside. Xuan Mohan immediately looked at Li An beside him. Upon receiving the instruction, Li An began searching inside the room.
"Ding dong~"
Xuan Mohan picked up his phone and casually glanced at it. With just that glance, his eyes immediately locked onto the phone.
"Take your people and don't appear in front of me!"
The fingertips of Xuan Mohan's hand holding the phone tightened instantly. After a moment, he slowly relaxed his hand, and his well-defined fingers replied to a message: I have something to attend to and need to go out. Remember to eat.
Xuan Mohan took one last look, as if he could see through the door to the person who smiled sweetly at him...
He didn't know that the distance of this door would become a distance he could no longer touch.
"It's not the President! Where are you going? Aren't we breaking down the door anymore?"
Li An looked at Xuan Mohan's retreating back, somewhat dazed. Hadn't he just asked him to find something?
And there were still a few little ones inside. Is he not taking care of them?
Because of the heavy rain, the young masters had been off school for a few days. Today, they were supposed to attend classes as usual.
If the President doesn't care, I will! Those few adorable children, if not taken care of, he couldn't handle it in his heart.
Actually, Li An, you know that if you don't take care of them, you won't be able to explain it to the President, right?
"Young masters, young lady, time to get up! It's time to go to school today. Breakfast is ready, and you need to eat quickly~ Someone will take you there after you finish."
Li An put all his patience into it. He had no idea how to take care of children, so he could only say this.
"Mm, I'll take care of them, Uncle Li, don't worry."
Fortunately, there was Young Master Han Yu. Otherwise, he, a grown man, really couldn't handle this.
After the door closed, Lan Hanyu looked faintly at his younger brother, "Dress yourself." Then he walked over to his sister and personally dressed her in her little clothes.
Lan Lexuan, however, didn't say a word. He silently went to the wardrobe to get his own clothes and dressed himself.
...
"All a bunch of useless people! Fortunately, I was prepared for any accidents and kept a backup!"
Ji Anlan looked at her somewhat ugly angry reflection in the mirror and immediately calmed herself down, lifting her chin slightly.
This was a very good opportunity. If they were to bring the children back in the future, it would be much harder for her to make a move.
So, she not only entrusted that man to handle things for her but also prepared thoroughly herself, just waiting to give them a push if they failed!
She didn't expect them to just give up! Didn't this man detest Lan Qianqian?
Speaking of this man, he was the one who contacted her first.
He said that Lan Qianqian used to work in a hotel, and he saw her, then fell in love with her. However, she refused to yield to him, and after repeatedly rejecting him, he became impatient. Moreover, he was not someone who cherished soft things.
Of course, Ji Anlan didn't believe all these words, but anything that was detrimental to Lan Qianqian was her friend. However, if it involved other things... then she couldn't be blamed for being impolite!
"Anlan, you can go now."
The voice from outside grew louder as it approached.
"Okay!"
Ji Anlan took one last look at herself in the mirror, confirmed that everything was fine, and slowly stood up.
Xuan Mohan not coming to the wedding reception would make them feel guilty. Even if they discovered something later, they would forgive her, as she was already a wife of the Xuan family...
...
An Ya Ju Community
Li An walked out of the young master's room, seemingly nonchalant. In reality, as soon as he left the room, he quickened his pace and walked to the main door, pulling it open abruptly, ready to run out.
However, as his body leaned out, he hastily pulled it back. Phew~ He almost crashed into it.
"...President."
No, hadn't the President already left? He thought he had gone far away and was preparing to chase after him quickly.
And President, if you weren't leaving, why were you standing so close to the door? Not even a guardian spirit would stand guard like this!
Li An looked at his President sincerely, waiting for him to speak. He couldn't help it, he still couldn't understand the President. What was the meaning of standing at the door? Was it too hot inside?
