Lan Zixuan walked over with a smile, "Mo Li, absolutely don't refuse. Come home and live with us, you'll be my companion. You have no idea how bored I've been these past few days."
Ling Xiaoling smiled and glanced at Xin Mo Li, who was still contemplating. "Mo Li, you won't refuse this old woman's request, will you?"
Xin Mo Li pursed her lips and looked at Lan Yu Xi.
Lan Yu Xi said with a smile, "My grandmother has spoken, give her some face."
Qiao Yu Fan chimed in with a smile, "The three children were also supposed to come. I promised them we'd go home after you're discharged, and only then did they agree to stay behind. You wouldn't want to disappoint the children, would you?"
Xin Mo Li thought of the three children, especially Mu Mu, and her lips curved upwards slightly. However, the thought of her own child darkened her eyes again.
Lan Yu Xi sighed softly, "Mo Li, come back with us. I promise, as long as you don't want to see my fifth brother, he won't appear in front of you."
Xin Mo Li looked at the Lan family members. She saw sincerity and hope in their eyes. Not wanting to disappoint them, she nodded emphatically.
Seeing her agree, everyone's faces lit up with relieved smiles.
If they let her leave now, they might never see her and Fifth Brother together again.
At the mountaintop villa, Nan Xiao paced restlessly in the living room. His wife was not home, and he felt uncomfortable in all sorts of ways.
Zhao Zhao looked at him helplessly, "Dad, if you miss Mom, then go to the hospital. I'll take care of brother and sister."
Nan Xiao snorted, "Your mother doesn't want us anymore, why should I go see her!"
Mu Mu pouted, "Mom doesn't not want us! She'll be back soon."
Han Yi glanced at his uncle, then at his brother and sister, and lowered his small head to continue playing with his toy.
Nan Xiao corrected, "Your mother won't be back that soon, the earliest would be tomorrow afternoon."
"That's still very soon. Before, Mom would leave for over a month, and then she still came back," Mu Mu tilted her small head and said, "Dad, you're too clingy to Mom, it's not good. Look at me and brother, when Mom needs us, we appear. When she doesn't need us, we disappear automatically."
Nan Xiao looked at this leaky little padded jacket of his.
Headache!
He had wanted to ask his daughter to call her mother and trick her into coming back, but it seemed that path was not feasible.
Zhao Zhao's eyes curved, wanting to laugh but holding back.
"If Dad can't sleep, my sister and I can accompany you."
Ming Han immediately protested, glaring with his dark eyes at his elder brother, "Brother, you said you'd sleep with me tonight."
Zhao Zhao pulled him into his arms, "Tonight, the three of us will accompany your uncle to sleep."
Han Yi nodded with a smile, as long as he could sleep with his brother and sister.
Nan Xiao's mouth twitched. This little brat was born to anger him!
Before he could react, Nan Xiang Dong and Nan Xiang Bei returned.
Nan Xiang Xi had a mission and would be back late, Nan Xiao knew that. But what about Nan Xiang Nan?
"Where's Xiang Nan?"
"An Cheng brought his father back," Nan Xiang Dong replied.
"Back so soon?"
"It was his father's idea. He wanted to see Xiang Nan sooner."
"Let's leave it at that for today. We'll entertain An Cheng's family tomorrow," Nan Xiao glanced at the time, "Let's eat."
Nan Xiang Bei looked around and asked suspiciously, "Where is everyone?"
"Xin Mo Li is in the hospital, they all went to the hospital."
Nan Xiang Dong was slightly taken aback, "What happened to Miss Xin?"
"She had a miscarriage saving Lan Lao Wu," Nan Xiao replied with great dissatisfaction.
Nan Xiang Dong noticed his bad mood, picked up Mu Mu, and beckoned Zhao Zhao and Han Yi, heading for the dining room together.
Nan Xiang Bei sat next to Zhao Zhao, fawning over him, offering chopsticks and bowls. Zhao Zhao saw through his little game but didn't point it out, letting them see who could outlast whom.
In the end, Nan Xiang Bei couldn't outlast Zhao Zhao. After giving him the nth piece of pork rib, he spoke.
"Zhao Zhao, do you have time tonight?"
"Yes."
"Then may I ask you a few questions?"
Zhao Zhao raised an eyebrow, "Don't ask me anything too idiotic."
Nan Xiao looked up and gave him a cold glance.
Zhao Zhao quickly corrected himself, "Okay."
Mom wasn't home, and Grandma and the others weren't here either. A child without a backing had to learn to assess the situation.
Nan Xiang Bei looked gratefully at his elder brother. If it weren't for the elder brother suppressing him, the young master would indeed be difficult to deal with, unlike the young lady, who seemed very amiable.
At Huo's Hospital, Xin Mo Li's ward finally quieted down.
Xin Mo Li looked at Lan Yu Xi and let out a long sigh, "Your family is too enthusiastic, I can barely handle it."
Lan Yu Xi smiled, "You'll get used to it slowly. When you first arrived, everyone was afraid to be too enthusiastic, lest they scare you. Now they consider you family, hence the enthusiasm."
Xin Mo Li looked envious, "That's really nice. I've always dreamed of having a family like this, but alas..."
Lan Yu Xi gently held her hand, "Believe me, your dream will come true sooner or later."
Xin Mo Li paused for a moment, then smiled. She decided Lan Yu Xi was just trying to comfort her. How could she possibly deserve such a loving family? In the future, she would dutifully stay on Yan Island and accompany her father.
The maid, who had stayed behind with Lan Yu Xi, brought hot water to help Xin Mo Li wipe herself down.
Lan Yu Xi had nothing to do, so she sat on the sofa and sent WeChat messages to Nan Xiao, but every message was met with silence.
Nan Xiao was ignoring her!
Lan Yu Xi angrily threw her phone aside. Fine, if he wanted to ignore her, he could, as if anyone cared about him!
Xin Mo Li seemed tired. She fell asleep shortly after being wiped down.
Lan Yu Xi was also not feeling well, and under the persuasion of the maid, she returned to the accompanying care room.
At midnight, Lan Yu Xi was awakened from her sleep by sobbing. She was startled and quickly got out of bed to go out.
By the bedside sat a middle-aged woman. Hearing footsteps, the woman hastily wiped her tears and looked over.
When Lan Yu Xi saw her face clearly, she knew who she was.
Xin Mo Li's mother!
Mother and daughter looked so alike!
Lan Yu Xi glanced at Xin Mo Li, who was still fast asleep, and gestured for the woman to follow her.
The woman understood, tiptoed, and followed her into the accompanying care room.
The moment the door closed, Xin Mo Li, who had been "sleeping," suddenly opened her eyes.
She had actually come. After arriving, she called out "Li'er" and then started crying.
How rare, she was actually crying for her.
Xin Mo Li gave a self-mocking smile, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.
In the accompanying care room, the woman grabbed Lan Yu Xi's hand, "Yu Xi, right? I'm Ming Ying, Mo Li's mother."
