Ling Xiaoling tugged at his collar. Once he stopped talking, she walked to the bed and said to Lan Yuxi, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Let your second and sixth brothers examine you."
Lan Yuxi shook her head with a smile, "Grandmother, I'm fine. I know my own body."
"Don't be too strong-willed in the future. See, didn't Xiao'er handle things well this time?" Ling Xiaoling advised.
Lan Yuxi looked up at Nan Xiao, "Did he handle it really well?"
"I admit I was a bit hasty, but if given another chance, I would still do it. He has schemed against me so many times, and I've been looking for him for so long. I finally found a trace of him, and I couldn't let this opportunity slip away."
Nan Xiao said, with a look of apology, he picked up Mumu, "This time, to lure him into this trap, you were forced to let your second personality occupy your body. I also had to hide my life-threatening condition from all our relatives, making Mumu worry that both of us were sick. And other relatives... If I hadn't struck decisively beforehand, they would probably have fallen one by one. And then there's Ming Zicheng, who is also helping me under pressure."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips. If she were Nan Xiao, she would have done the same. However, Hong Feng's life and death were uncertain, and she had a bad feeling about it.
Nan Xiao saw her worry and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. I've cut off his retreat. Without resources, he can't accomplish anything."
"People are more dangerous when they are at their wits' end," Lan Yuxi voiced her concern.
"I have everything arranged. Even if he manages to escape that fierce barrage of artillery fire, he won't escape my inescapable net."
Lan Yuxi curved her lips slightly, "Alright, I'll leave it to you. Give Mumu to me, let me hold her for a while."
Nan Xiao bent down and placed Mumu beside Lan Yuxi, then he also picked up Zhaozhao and placed him there, "You're not feeling well either, so let them accompany you for a while."
Lan Yuxi nodded and placed her hand on Mumu's wrist.
Luo Jiaqi's eyes reddened, and he turned and walked out.
Duan Ting followed him out and handed him the tissue in his hand.
"Thank you." Luo Jiaqi took the tissue and wiped his face.
"You're welcome. You've lost a lot of weight these past few days. Yuxi is finally awake, you should get some rest too."
Luo Jiaqi sighed, "Forget it, I won't rest. I'll go back to the research institute to develop new medicine for her. In case her second personality comes out again someday, she might not be able to suppress it."
"Is it that serious?"
"Before, when her second personality appeared, she only needed thirty minutes to suppress it. This time, it took her a week. It seems the situation is getting worse." Luo Jiaqi said and went downstairs.
Duan Ting quickly caught up, "I'll go with you. I've dealt with similar medicines before. Many hands make light work."
Luo Jiaqi smiled faintly, "If Yuxi knew so many people cared about her, she would be very happy."
Duan Ting's lips curved slightly, and he followed Luo Jiaqi's footsteps.
Lan Yuxi felt Mumu's pulse and confirmed she was fine, then she put her mind at ease and chatted with everyone for a while.
When everyone was about to leave, Lan Yuxi stopped Lan Jinsong, "Dad, don't go yet, let me check your pulse."
"Don't worry about me. Your second brother already examined me this morning. You should spend more time with the children."
Lan Yuxi smiled and stroked her children's heads, "I understand. I will spend time with them."
Qiao Yisi, after everyone else had left, his eyes red, helped Luo Wanqi walk over, "Master, are you really alright now?"
Lan Yuxi squinted at him amusingly, "I'm perfectly fine! I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"
Qiao Yisi sniffled, "Master, you can still joke. Wanqi and I were worried sick about you."
"It's all my fault for making you worry." Lan Yuxi looked at Luo Wanqi's complexion and frowned slightly, "Wanqi, why is your complexion so bad?"
"I'm fine, I just haven't slept well these past few days." Luo Wanqi sighed, "I was really afraid you would turn into Meixi and never come back. With your current identity and status, if you turned into Meixi, then you and Nan Xiao would have no choice but to break up."
Lan Yuxi reached out and took her hand, "For all of you, I will suppress her."
Seeing that Lan Yuxi was about to check her pulse, Luo Wanqi quickly withdrew her hand, "I'm fine, no need to check."
Lan Yuxi ignored her and placed her hand on her wrist again. After a moment, her face darkened, "You're bleeding again?"
"No..."
"You can still lie to me? Alas! It's all my fault, you'll have to take that bitter medicine again."
Qiao Yisi helped Luo Wanqi sit on the sofa nearby, "Master, don't worry about her. She's already taking it."
Mumu pouted and sobbed, "Mommy, it's all my fault. If I hadn't gotten sick, my godmother wouldn't have gotten sick from taking care of me."
Luo Wanqi smiled and said, "What silly talk is this child saying! Godmother's illness is because Godmother wasn't feeling well. She'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Lan Yuxi stroked her daughter's little head, "It's okay. Mommy is here. Your godmother and your little brother will be fine."
Mumu blinked her big watery eyes and asked, "Is Godmother's baby in her belly a little brother?"
Qiao Yisi also looked over curiously, "Master, can you tell?"
Lan Yuxi smiled and nodded, "I knew it before, but the pulse is clearer this time. Don't worry, although Wanqi's health isn't great, the little one is very healthy. And as the months progress, Wanqi's health will improve."
Luo Wanqi gently stroked her lower abdomen, saying unhappily, "I always thought it would be a girl, and then we could be in-laws. If it's a boy, and he's several years younger than Mumu, then we can't be in-laws anymore."
Lan Yuxi chuckled, "What's so difficult about that! After this one is born, you can quickly have another second child, and we can still be in-laws."
Luo Wanqi pouted, "This one is already exhausting me to death, I don't dare to have another."
"Not every pregnancy is like this." Lan Yuxi smiled, "I've been sleeping for several days. Have Jiaqi Ge and Ting Jie made any progress?"
"With you in this state, who has the mind to care about their matters? But I saw them leave together just now, saying they were going to the research institute to develop new medicine for you."
"The prescriptions I gave Jiaqi Ge are not easy to adjust. Let them take their time, and perhaps sparks will fly..."
"Auntie..." Lan Hanyi's voice came from outside the door, and then the little fellow was carried in by Lan Muwei.
Lan Yuxi smiled at the little fellow, "I heard Grandma say you went for a follow-up appointment at the hospital? What did Grandpa Hao say?"
