"Your younger siblings will miss you too, but Auntie has a new job and we have to leave. Once Auntie's job is stable, I'll bring you back to see your brother and sister."
An Xi told a white lie. Luan Sheng was still young, and he was ill. He couldn't know about the bad things.
Nan Luan Sheng nodded understandingly.
The next day.
Kahn, whose hands had already been crippled, was taken away by Captain Xiao as soon as he deplaned. He had killed someone in China and should be tried here.
An Cheng was escorted to the imperial capital in the afternoon, but his condition was even worse. His hands and legs were broken, and he was carried into the detention center.
Nan Xiang Nan didn't go to see him, nor did he go to see Nan Yao. They deserved what they got and were not worthy of sympathy.
That day, Nan Xiao did not go to work. He was still suffering from insomnia, and it was not until Lan Yu Xi gave him an injection that he fell asleep.
Nan Xiao slept until noon. Not seeing Lan Yu Xi, he was shocked and opened the door with bare feet.
Nan Xiang Nan, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, was slightly taken aback when he saw him come out with bare feet. He quickly entered the room, picked up the slippers, and chased after him.
"Patriarch, please put on your shoes first. The mistress is in the study."
Nan Xiao paused and stopped.
Nan Xiang Nan quickly put the slippers by his feet.
Nan Xiao put on his slippers and frowned, asking, "Why didn't you go to the company today... Did you go to see him?"
Nan Xiang Nan pursed his lips tightly. "I didn't go to see him. He did so many wrong things that he is no longer worthy of being my brother! Also... Patriarch, I want to resign from my company position... If you still trust me, let me be your personal dark guard."
Nan Xiao's brows furrowed even tighter. "If you are my substitute dark guard, what about Nan Er?"
Nan Xiang Nan clenched his fist. "Then I'll be a gatekeeper at the old house, or I'll just leave as far away as An Xi did."
Nan Xiao ignored him and hurried downstairs.
He didn't know why he was so eager to find Xi Bao. Perhaps only she could relieve his anxiety.
Nan Xiang Nan followed closely behind him. It seemed that his future would only be determined after the Patriarch saw the mistress.
Nan Xiao quickly reached the study door and gently knocked. Before he could get a reply, he pushed the door open and walked in.
The three people in the study looked up when he entered.
Nan Xiao was slightly surprised. Sister Yun and brother-in-law were not at work today.
Ling Yun wiped the tears from her eyes, stood up with a smile, and said, "You're awake. Are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and make you something to eat."
Lan Jin Song, seeing his wife leaving, also quickly got up and followed her out.
Nan Xiao watched them leave and looked at Lan Yu Xi, who was looking at him with a composed expression.
"Why aren't brother-in-law and Sister Yun at work today?"
"The police are coming to collect evidence, so they didn't go to work."
Lan Yu Xi sized Nan Xiao up. This guy actually came out in a wrinkled pajama. If it were in the past, he would never have done such a thing even if he were beaten to death.
Nan Xiao tugged at his collar uncomfortably. "They've been here?"
"They have. Nan Yao really disgusted my parents."
"Don't they have anything to ask me?"
"Isn't it the same to ask me?" Lan Yu Xi glanced at the door. "Why are you still standing outside? Come in!"
Nan Xiang Nan coughed lightly and slipped in.
Nan Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. "Wife, do you know what this guy just told me?"
Lan Yu Xi chuckled. "He wants to resign and leave with you, just like An Xi."
Nan Xiao glanced at Nan Xiang Nan, then looked at Lan Yu Xi. "Do you think I'll give him this opportunity?"
"You definitely won't, but I will!"
Nan Xiao and Nan Xiang Nan looked at her in shock.
"Nan Yao's actions will spread quickly. Do you want Nan Xiang Nan to be pointed at and talked about all day? Doesn't Nan's have a branch company in Norcas? I heard that the manager position has always been held by Nan Xiang Nan. Why don't you officially take the position this time?"
"Mistress, I..."
"Don't tell me you want to resign from all your positions. If you say that, you are irresponsible. Chao Chao is still young, and Nan Xiao is still in office. If you don't share their burden, then there will really be no one."
Lan Yu Xi paused, then continued, "An Xi's destination is Xin Country. Xin Country is adjacent to Norcas, and it only takes two hours by plane. It will be more convenient for you to take care of them. Also, An Zheng Dao should be coming to China soon. If you continue to stay in China, he will definitely pester you. If you want to take care of him, that's fine, but if you want to stay away from him, Norcas is your best choice."
Lan Yu Xi's words completely moved Nan Xiang Nan.
It was better to not have such a father. His sister and nephew were far away in a foreign country, and he had to take care of them.
Nan Xiao understood his choice from his expression. "Pack your bags. You're coming with us to Norcas tomorrow."
Nan Xiang Nan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Nan Xiao to go to Norcas under these circumstances.
"What are you dazed for? Hurry up and go!" Nan Xiao gave him a kick.
Nan Xiang Nan ran out as if flying.
Lan Yu Xi looked at Nan Xiao, confused. "Are you sure you want to leave tomorrow?"
"It's already agreed. We can't postpone it."
"Alright, then let's leave this mess to Captain Xiao and the others."
"This is his job anyway." Nan Xiao walked behind the chair and put his arms around her. "From now on, don't wake up earlier than me. When I open my eyes and don't see you, my heart won't even beat."
Lan Yu Xi patted his hand. "Okay, if you're lazy in bed again, I'll definitely stay with you!"
Anyway, she was always the one who woke up late, so it didn't matter if she agreed.
"Do you want to bring everyone with us to Norcas this time?"
"I'll ask in the group later and see if anyone wants to go with us."
"Then I'll call Nai Nai and ask her to prepare in advance."
Nan Xiao frowned. "Seventh Brother and Nai Nai haven't returned yet?"
"Yes, Nai Nai said she fell in love with the great grassland and wanted to play there for a few more days."
"Then let them continue playing and return to Norcas when they've had enough." Nan Xiao bit her ear lightly. "Do you have anything else to deal with?"
Lan Yu Xi shivered from the tickle. "No, it's all handed over to Captain Xiao and the others. I don't care if the rest of them live or die. As for how they will be sentenced in the future, I won't interfere. Anyway, it's worse for them to be alive than dead!"
"It's all up to you. From now on, you'll have the final say in our family, whether it's big or small."
Lan Yu Xi pouted. "No way! If that were the case, I would die young."
Nan Xiao frowned. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Lan Yu Xi turned and hugged him. "Okay—I'll listen to you. I won't say anything else. Is that okay?"
Nan Xiao curled his lips slightly. "That's a good girl!"
