Lan Yuxi pouted, "If looks could kill, I'd be a corpse right now!"
Mumu ran over hesitantly, "Mommy, who bullied you? I'll get revenge for you!"
Lan Yuxi chuckled and, meeting Chaoxiao and Hanyi's concerned gazes, smiled and said, "No one dares bully Mommy. You guys play."
Chaoxiao frowned slightly, "Mommy, that Huo Ziyin is a player. You should stay away from her. What if her scandals are exposed one day and you get implicated?"
Lan Yuxi blinked, "Are you investigating her?"
Chaoxiao scoffed, pulling at his lips, "She thinks she's being very discreet..."
Lan Yuxi interrupted him with a deep voice, "Forgot what Mommy told you before?"
Chaoxiao pouted, "Mommy, I was wrong."
"You know you're wrong but you still do it! I'm telling you, you are not allowed to leak what you've found out."
"Okay."
Seeing his agreement, Lan Yuxi annoyed went upstairs. She vowed to be more careful with her words in the future, lest these two little brats overhear anything else.
Mumu timidly swayed her father's hand, "Daddy, Mommy is angry."
Nan Xiao gently stroked her head, "It's okay. Mommy had some drinks. She'll be fine after a nap."
After comforting his daughter, Nan Xiao looked at his son, who had a stiff expression. "Mommy had some drinks, and her temper is a bit short. But we should understand how she feels. The Huo and Nan families are old friends. Don't damage our relationship over one woman."
Chaoxiao nodded, "I understand, Dad. You should go see Mommy."
Nan Xiao smiled with relief and quickly went upstairs.
In the bedroom, Lan Yuxi sat on the sofa, staring blankly, lost in thought.
Nan Xiao put down his jacket and sat beside her.
Lan Yuxi tilted her head and leaned into his embrace, "Husband, I'm already twenty-five, how can I still be so immature? I say whatever comes to mind when I'm angry, and I don't even consider the children."
Nan Xiao held her shoulders and kissed her forehead, "You're already doing so well. How much more mature do you need to be?"
Lan Yuxi pouted, "I scolded Chaoxiao. He wasn't upset, was he?"
"No."
Lan Yuxi nuzzled into his embrace, "What about Mom and Dad?"
When he returned, he saw Nan Xiao and the other three. Where was everyone else?
Nan Xiao chuckled, "They're all on the fourth floor discussing wedding dress styles with the designer."
"The designer is here?"
"Yes, just flew in from country M. After choosing the wedding dresses, they're going to take wedding photos. Shall we take another set?"
"I don't want to take any more... Do you want to? If you do, we can take a day off and join the fun."
"We both want to go together." Nan Xiao caressed her face, "Go take a bath and get some rest."
Lan Yuxi stood up lazily.
Nan Xiao watched her wobbly gait and smiled helplessly, "Xi Bao, you shouldn't drink anymore."
Lan Yuxi turned and nodded very seriously, "I think so too."
Nan Xiao smiled and followed her, "Let me wash you, don't fall."
Lan Yuxi pushed away his outstretched hand, "Don't underestimate me. A little alcohol means nothing to me! I'll wash myself. You go call the other three up. I want to have a heart-to-heart with them."
Nan Xiao didn't give her the chance. He picked her up and walked directly into the bathroom.
The next morning, Lan Yuxi was woken by a ringing phone.
Lan Yuxi fumbled for her phone with her eyes closed and said "Hello" before even answering.
Nan Xiao propped his head and smiled at her. Seeing that she hadn't noticed the phone still ringing, he smiled, took the phone, pressed the answer button, and then activated the speakerphone.
"Senior Sister, help!"
Jiu Wan's cry was quite loud. Lan Yuxi instantly woke up and sat bolt upright.
"What happened? Where are you? I'm coming over."
"I'm trapped at home and can't get out," Jiu Wan said aggrievedly.
"Who dares to bully my junior brother, Lan Yuxi's junior brother!"
Lan Yuxi got out of bed and dressed as quickly as possible.
"Huo Ziyin! That woman is shameless. She came last night and I kicked her out. I thought she left, but when I tried to go out just now, I found she never left. She's been drinking outside my door all night."
Lan Yuxi glanced at Nan Xiao, who was putting on his clothes, and sat down on the sofa.
"Call Huo Ding and have him take her away!"
"Huo Ding is already outside my door. No matter how I persuade him, he can't get her to leave. She said she won't leave unless she sees you and President Nan."
Lan Yuxi frowned unhappily, "She can see us just because she wants to! She's getting too big for her boots! And you, do you have a brain? If you can't go through the door, you should go through the window?"
Jiu Wan's mouth twitched, "Senior Sister, my place is on the nineteenth floor..."
"..." Lan Yuxi pinched her brow. "I'll send someone to rescue you right away."
As soon as she hung up, Nan Xiao had already dialed Old Huo's number. "Old Huo, Huo Ziyin is blocking Zi Ye's door, preventing her from leaving. Huo Ding went over and couldn't persuade her. How do you think this should be handled?"
"Shameless creature! I'm coming over now."
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly, "You really don't care about Old Huo's well-being? He's so old. If he gets sick from anger, how will you explain it?"
"It's not me who's causing this, so why should I explain anything?" Nan Xiao tossed his phone onto the coffee table, took off his jacket, and returned to bed. "It's still early, come back and sleep for a while."
Lan Yuxi yawned, "What exactly does this Huo Ziyin want?"
"Ignore her. People who are drunk can do all sorts of inappropriate things."
Lan Yuxi took off her jacket and sat on the edge of the bed, "Did I do anything inappropriate last night?"
"Nothing inappropriate, you just asked for me ten times. My legs are still weak!"
Lan Yuxi smiled and lightly hit him, "Stop teasing me! I wasn't so drunk that I lost consciousness."
"Believe it or not. Next time you get drunk, I'll record the whole thing." Nan Xiao reached out and pulled her onto the bed, "Sleep!"
Lan Yuxi burrowed under the covers and finally couldn't help but ask, "You think Huo Ziyin is blocking Jiu Wan today, but will she block us tomorrow?"
"She dares!"
Nan Xiao's sinister voice came from above Lan Yuxi's head. It seemed he was quite angry.
"Are you angry?"
"How could I not be? Causing trouble early in the morning! If I were Zi Ye, I would have grabbed her by the collar and thrown her out."
Lan Yuxi chuckled, "Jiu Wan isn't as violent as you."
Nan Xiao opened his mouth but made no sound.
Thirty minutes later, both their phones chimed. It was a message from Huo Ding. However, they were still asleep and neither of them checked it.
