Ah…
A soft sigh escaped Lani’s lips as she eavesdropped from outside the operating room.
“Big Brother…”
“You finally got your wish…”
“It’s just…”
Seeing the two inside reconcile, Angus whispered, “Let’s go,” and walked out of the operating room.
Lani dared not make too much noise while walking, fearing she would disturb the atmosphere between her Big Brother and Xin’er. She could only tiptoe to catch up with her second brother.
Once she was sure they were far enough away that they wouldn’t be heard, she whispered, “Second Brother, if Xin’er realizes that blood exchange technology doesn’t exist in the world, and finds out Big Brother lied to her and manipulated her, will she…”
Their sister, though usually appearing gentle and obedient, easy to reason with, could be as stubborn as ten donkeys when she truly threw a tantrum.
Big Brother would likely have a hard time!
Angus shrugged. “Who knows?”
Xin’er couldn’t accept Big Brother because she couldn’t get past the hurdle in her heart.
Now, Big Brother had personally shattered it. Even if Xin’er knew it was all a play orchestrated by Big Brother, even if she knew she was manipulated.
This hurdle of blood relation—
She believed it would no longer be an obstacle between them.

After a hurried farewell with Du Ruoxin at the mall, Grace returned directly to her hotel.
She hadn’t left her room since.
Holding a leisure book that the room attendant had helped her buy to pass the time, she couldn’t concentrate at all.
She felt a sense of unease.
Why hadn’t Xin Jie called her yet?
It was almost one o’clock.
With a heart full of worry, she put down the book and gazed at the brightly lit city outside the window, a heavy blockage in her chest.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door.
She turned to look.
*Clang—*
The door was opened.
A man wrapped in a towel, tiptoeing, appeared in Grace’s line of sight.
“Ah!”
“Aaaahhhh!”
Qin Yunxi!
Why wasn’t he wearing any clothes and had he run into her room?!
So t—
*Slap—*
Her arm took a solid blow, nearly crippling him!
“Ah—”
You wicked woman, you hit so hard!
Qin Yunxi howled in pain, then seized Grace’s hand, pulling her onto the bed and pinning her down.
