"Ah Ye, Jing Yan, you're back just in time! Come and eat!"

Aunt Shan had just finished serving all the dishes when Yang Mei saw the two of them returning arm in arm, looking very close.

They quickly invited the two to sit down.

"Luo Luo, the lunchboxes you asked Mom to prepare have been packed by Aunt Shan and are in the kitchen. Don't forget them when you leave!"

Before coming, Yan Xiluo had told Yang Mei about helping to prepare boxed lunches, and Yang Mei immediately agreed.

"Okay, thank you, Mom. And thank you, Aunt Shan, for all your hard work! Love you both!"

Yan Xiluo suddenly made a funny face and gave them a heart shape with her hands.

"My Luoluo is still as energetic as ever, that's great!"

Yan Xiluo is always full of energy at home, and she never shows it, even if she is unhappy.

"Miss Luo Luo has always been so adorable."

Aunt Shan looked at Yan Xiluo with a smile, her eyes filled with affection, after all, she had watched Yan Xiluo grow up since she was a child.

"Hehe, let's eat quickly, otherwise Luo Luo will get hungry after waiting at the hospital for so long."

Lin Zhengzhong smiled kindly as he sat down at the dining table.

After lunch, Yan Xiluo and Lan Jingyan said goodbye to them and left with the bags of boxed lunches.

Hospital, 9th floor of the inpatient department.

“Ayan, it’s the same as before. You give it to my brother first, and I’ll give it to Sister Ningning.”

Yan Xiluo took out the boxed lunch she had prepared for Jiang Xuening.

"good."

They separated and went into wards 909 and 910 respectively.

Yan Xiluo opened the ward and found it empty.

What happened to Sister Ningning?

Were they discharged or transferred to another hospital?

Why didn't you tell her? What happened?

Because of Third Brother?

Yan Xiluo quickly dialed Jiang Xuening's number.

"Hey, Ningning, why aren't you at the hospital? I came to bring you food but didn't see you."

Yan Xiluo was getting anxious. Could it really be because of her third brother? Was there really no hope between them?

What would my third brother do if he knew...?

"Luo Luo, I hurt your brother. I'm the one who caused him to be hospitalized. He must hate me to death. Besides, when I went to him before, he told me not to bother him anymore. Now that I know you're his sister, I can't trouble you anymore."

Jiang Xuening tried hard not to cry out loud. She was in great pain because she had decided to let go.

“Sister Ningning, are you really not going to explain to my brother why you left back then? He's also in pain. If he didn't care about you, why would he be drinking so much and being hospitalized? Doesn't that just prove how important you are to him? Doesn't it show that you have a place in his heart? The Sister Ningning I know wouldn't back down because of a little difficulty. She's a resilient and brave person.”

Seeing that Jiang Xuening didn't speak, Yan Xiluo continued.

"Yesterday, I don't know why, when I brought him food, he was about to smoke when he said he was feeling irritable. I guess he might have heard about your injury; he probably saw it on the headlines. If he didn't care about you, he wouldn't act like that. You've been gone for three years; even if he still loves you, he can't accept you right away. He's afraid of being abandoned again. If you were in his shoes, would you forgive him immediately? I can tell he still loves you very much, but he needs time, and more importantly, he needs reassurance from you!"

Yan Xiluo wiped away her tears as she spoke.

"You might not know, but he almost died three years ago. If Aze and the others hadn't found him in time, he might not be here now. I'm telling you this not to make you feel guilty, nor to blame you for anything. I just want to tell you that you hold a very important place in his heart. But getting him to accept you again won't be easy. Besides explaining what happened before, what he needs most is the sense of security you give him."

After suppressing her emotions for a long time, Yan Xiluo finally let them all out at this moment, telling Jiang Xuening all her thoughts.

Jiang Xuening was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Sister Ningning, think it over carefully. Do you want to miss out on my brother, or do you want to win him back? The decision is yours. You don't have many three-year periods in your life to waste."

Finally, Yan Xiluo hung up the phone.

If she hadn't realized how deeply they loved each other, she wouldn't have acted like the villain and said all that.

It's like meddling in other people's business.

She then composed herself and carried the lunchbox back to Yan Yuze's room.

"You're back so soon?"

Lan Jingyan was somewhat surprised; the bag clearly hadn't been opened yet.

"Yes, my friend isn't in the ward. I don't know if he's been discharged or transferred to another hospital."

Yan Xiluo forced a smile, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Oh, okay, I see."

Didn't she come back to find Aze? How come she gave up so easily? It ended before it even started?

Lan Jingyan felt very confused.

Yan Yuze knew, of course, that she was referring to Jiang Xuening, and his eyes instantly dimmed.

But he ate in silence, without saying anything.

Lan Jingyan and Yan Xiluo both noticed his emotions.

They all remained silent, sitting on the sofa with them.

"The doctor just said that Third Brother can be discharged tomorrow. Third Brother, don't work so hard, you still need to take good care of your health. I'll make you some soup and send it to the law firm when I have time."

Yan Xiluo didn't know what to say to him, so she tried to find a topic to talk about, as she was in a bad mood.

But Yan Yuze is no worse than her.

"I understand, little sister. I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days. I promise I'll take care of my health, otherwise I'll feel so guilty."

Yan Yuze also felt very bad, so he asked everyone to put down their work and come to the hospital to take care of him.

"That's more like it, then I'm relieved."

Yan Xiluo tried to smile sweetly, not showing her true emotions.

"You didn't let your parents know, did you?"

This has always been a concern for him.

"Don't worry, Third Brother, I'm very reliable! Did you enjoy today's food?"

Yan Xiluo noticed that Yan Yuze had a good appetite, but she didn't know if he liked this kind of food.

"It's pretty good, quite delicious."

Yan Yuze praised her sincerely.

"Then you're in for a treat! This is made by my mother and the chef of the Lin family. It's the taste I've been eating at the Lin family for eighteen years. You can finally taste the dishes I used to eat!"

Yan Xiluo spoke playfully, looking radiant with happiness.

"Then I am truly honored, a blessing in disguise. Look at your other four brothers, they don't have this kind of luck!"

Yan Yuze was beaming with pride, and immediately a broad smile spread across his face!

Yan Mingxuan: Come on, I'd rather not have this kind of blessing!

Yan Chenyu: Actually, we don't need misfortune to receive this blessing.

Yan Qirui: ...

Yan Yixing: Then enjoy your life!

"Third Brother, you mustn't drink so much next time! You scared us to death last time. And you even said it was a blessing in disguise! I hope you'll only have good fortune and no misfortune in the future!"

Yan Xiluo looked at Yan Yuze with a fierce yet cute expression, not allowing him to talk nonsense anymore.
