"Nonsense." Ye Chen stuffed the meat bun into his mouth and muttered, "If you don't want to know, why would I ask?"

Ye An leaned lazily against the pillar in the corridor and raised his eyebrows. "Why don't you ask Mr. Xiao Xuan and you'll understand?"

"Why don't you go?" Ye Chen took out a box of milk from another pocket, inserted a straw, and before he could take a sip, Ye An, who had been planning this for a long time, snatched it away.

"Thank you." Ye An finished the whole box of milk in two or three gulps, and threw the empty box into the trash can.

"Can you be a human being?" Ye Chen bit his back teeth and threw a punch.

Ye An naturally would not get beaten in vain, so the two of them went outside the manor to practice fighting.

Ye Jian frowned speechlessly and walked to the cafeteria for breakfast.

——

Ten thirty in the morning.

After Yan Yuning finished washing up, she picked up her phone to check the time. She bit her lip uncomfortably. She had already overslept on her first day living here...

After lingering in the room for a while, Yan Yuning opened the door and met Xuan Zhaoran who was yawning. Having a companion, Yan Yuning's discomfort immediately disappeared.

It’s like being late for work and feeling anxious, but then seeing that something else is also going to be late, you’re suddenly no longer anxious.

"Ningning." Xuan Zhaoran took two quick steps, hugged Yan Yuning's arm, and said sleepily, "My head hurts."

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Yan Yuning supported the shaky Xuan Zhaoran.

"Well... I was woken up by Brother Qingchen's phone call." Xuan Zhaoran said softly.

Yan Yuning's eyes paused slightly, and he became more curious about what happened between Shi Yao, Qi Qingchen, Xuan Zhaoran, and A Ci.

Afraid that Yan Yuning didn't know who Qi Qingchen was, Xuan Zhaoran explained, "Ningning, Brother Qingchen is my brother's friend. He was ill and had been receiving treatment abroad. He must have recovered this time, so he brought his daughter Xingyou back to the country."

"Ningning, Xiao Xingyou is super cute and very likable. If you meet her, you will like her too."

Yan Yuning smiled and said, "Really?"

After a pause, Yan Yuning asked again, "Ranran, what's wrong with Brother Qingchen's father?"

Xuan Zhaoran squinted his eyes and yawned, then sighed, "My brother told me there's something wrong with my head. It's pressing on important brain tissue, and I'm often in a coma. I can't have surgery yet. I can only wait for it to slowly calcify or shift so that I can have surgery."

"Now that Brother Qingchen has returned to the country, it means he is fine."

Yan Yuning frowned and said nothing. It might not be that the country was safe, but that there was no hope...

She suddenly understood what Xuan Yanyu had done when he took Shi Yao abroad last time. It was probably to see Qi Qingchen, and Xuan Yanyu asked her to accompany him abroad, probably also to see Qi Qingchen.

Qi Qingchen...

Shiyao...

Now, does Shiyao really love Qi Qingchen, or does she just love him for his money?

After Qi Qingchen fell ill, Qi Qingxian is now the president of Qi's Group. In the ward, she heard that Shiyao didn't want to live a life without money, so Shiyao wanted to do something with Xuan Xixi.

But if Qi Qingchen passed away, Xuan Xixi, as Qi Qingchen's good friend, would take good care of his children no matter what. There was no need for Shi Yao to target her.

Unless... the person she wants to marry is Xuan Xixi!

That's why they target her everywhere!
