Nan Yu choked, realizing it was indeed his fault.

Knowing full well that Song Huaizhi harbored ill intentions, he didn't mention going home even once in half a month.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."

Lu Yu wiped away her tears, her voice trembling and choked: "Please, don't drag Xiao Ling into this anymore. She doesn't understand anything. You're so protective of Song Huaizhi, but Xiao Ling is his own sister..."

He then knelt down with a thud.

Nan Yu was startled and went over to help the omega up, but the little omega wouldn't let her touch him, crying and accusing him, and kept hitting his head and hurting himself: "I shouldn't have come back, Song Huaizhi is the Song family's child, I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

Omega women are so beautiful; even when they cry, their faces are like pear blossoms in the rain.

Perhaps it was blood ties, or perhaps Dengxin was simply a soft-hearted person. Seeing Lu Yu cry, she couldn't bear it. An omega's strength couldn't match that of an alpha. Nan Yu grabbed his self-tortured arm and hugged her younger brother.

“If you don’t like staying at the old house, I’ll move you to another place. Xiaoling will be driven home by the driver from now on, so you can see her every day. You’re my brother too, and I’m not taking sides. I apologize for what I did that caused you to misunderstand. I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t been home. They haven’t told me about what happened at home, so they didn’t know about Xiaoling’s accident…”

As she was speaking, the body in her arms suddenly went limp. Nan Yu shook the young man and, seeing that he had fainted, quickly called her assistant to find a doctor.

The examination revealed that I hadn't rested well and was under too much mental stress.

Nan Yu stayed at the hospital with her, leaving the apartment arrangements to her assistant.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Lu wants your number."

My secretary sent me a message.

Nan Yu: "Give it to him."

Less than two minutes later, the phone rang; it was an unknown number.

Nan Yu answered the call, and sure enough, a man's magnetic and pleasant voice came through, "It's me, Lu Chengyao."

The lamp wick pressed down on the corners of his upturned lips, and he gave a feigned indifference with a soft "hmm," only to be met with the other person's breathing: "..."

After about a minute, Nan Yu found an excuse for herself: "Did you need something?"

Lu Chengyao: "Tomorrow I'll take Lu Ling, Lu Yu, and your second young master out for a meal."

Nan Yu: "Lu Ling fell into the water and is in the hospital, so I can't go."

The man on the other end of the phone frowned slightly: "How did you fall into the water?"

Nan Yu: "We are investigating."

Lu Chengyao was silent for a moment, then said, "Is it him?"

Nan Yu roughly knew who he was asking, but didn't give a precise answer. "I won't make any conclusions before things are settled. Would you like to come and take a look?"

There was a long silence on the other end before a soft "hmm" came through: "Location."

Nan Yu: "Haicheng Hospital, Building A, 8th floor."

The phone call ended, and Lu Chengyao was probably on his way. Deng Xin entered the ward, and Lu Yu woke up, looking tired and weak with heavy dark circles under his eyes. The hospital director said that Lu Ling was rescued in time and was not seriously ill. He was only in the hospital for observation. Why wasn't Lu Yu sleeping?

The young man saw a figure at the door, turned his head slightly away, as if he didn't want to see him.

Nan Yu sighed, went over, hooked the stool over with her foot, and sat down next to the hospital bed, saying, "Your uncle will be here in a bit."

Lu Yu thought he was referring to Song's younger uncle.

She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Nan Yu: "Lu Ling can be discharged now. You..." She paused, then asked, "Are you still going home?"

Lu Yu didn't answer, and the atmosphere inexplicably became tense.

Nan Yu felt embarrassed and got up to wait outside. After he left, the young man's beautiful eyes filled with tears. The tears couldn't be held back and rolled down his cheeks, dripping onto the bedsheets. Lu Yu stubbornly wiped them away.

I waited for half an hour.

I don't know how many times the lamp wick has checked the time.

Finally, he heard different footsteps. He looked up and, sure enough, it was his lover. The hospital environment was too oppressive, and he couldn't smile. When the man arrived, he got up from the stool.

Lu Chengyao first glanced at the ward door.

Then, turning our gaze to Alpha, he was dressed in a black suit, his hair was combed back, revealing a full forehead, with delicate features and a capable and clean look in his eyes.

"Lu Yu is resting inside, and Lu Ling is on the opposite side."

Lu Chengyao nodded slightly and pushed open the door to the opposite room.

Xiao Luling also woke up.

Back in the Lu family, debt collectors came to the door every day, and the girl was always hungry and cold. Unlike Lu Yu, who was an omega, the girl's hormones made her look beautiful and radiant no matter what.

Beta is just an ordinary person who suffers from long-term malnutrition. She looks pale and thin, and even her frame is smaller than that of her peers. She is timid and cowardly, just like her brother.

When Lu Chengyao went in, the little girl hugged herself tightly in fear.

Nan Yu followed her inside.

He raised an eyebrow slightly at the girl's reaction and stood quietly to the side.

Lu Chengyao walked to the bedside. He probably wasn't good at coaxing children either. He swallowed hard, but couldn't say anything.

Lu Yu was worried that Nan Yu would bully Lu Ling.

She cried for a while, wiped away her tears, and ran over here.

He pushed open the door, and the unfamiliar figure made him frown. He ran over to protect his sister and yelled at the two of them, "Get out! Don't you dare bully Xiaoling!"

The brother and sister looked just like older cubs, baring their teeth at wild beasts and putting on a fierce appearance to scare away their prey in order to protect their young.

But he was clearly trembling with fear.

Nan Yu: "Xiao Yu, no one is going to bully Lu Ling. This is your uncle, who came all the way from Jiangcheng to see you."

Lu Ling hugged her brother tightly, burying her face in his arms and sobbing softly. She didn't dare to cry too loudly, because if she did, Nan Yu and Lu Chengyao would look like the bad guys threatening them.

Lu Yu's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Nan Yu, then glared at Lu Chengyao. "What uncle? I don't know him at all! Song Yu, if you dare lay a finger on my sister, I'll kill you!"

The young man's voice was filled with extreme hatred.

They're too defensive.

Nan Yu also looked at Lu Chengyao: "Tell me, who exactly are you?"

Lu Chengyao said to Lu Yu, "I came to your house a year ago, but I didn't stay for more than a few days. Then I went to Ancheng. You probably don't know me well."

Lu Yu sneered: "You're here to ask for money? Give up! They won't give me money, why would I give you any?"

Ever since the Song family recognized him as a relative, he'd had enough of the Lu family's disgusting behavior. He could understand why they were hesitant to lend money when they were in debt, but their taking advantage of his misfortune, cursing his grandmother and sister, and even trying to sell him off...

Lu Yu bit her lip, unwilling to think about it anymore.

Lu Chengyao: "No money needed, you can live with me from now on."

Nan Yu suddenly coughed, very deliberately: "Cough! Cough!"

The man glanced at him, his thin lips slightly pursed.

Nan Yu: "I've already arranged an apartment for him. He can go there as soon as he's discharged from the hospital. I'll arrange another house for you. A male beta shouldn't live with an omega."

Male...beta?

Lu Chengyao gave the lamp wick a deep look.

But no explanation was given.

After having his assistant handle the discharge procedures, Lu Chengyao, who was worried about the girl's health, wanted to carry her, but Lu Yu, fearing they might cause trouble, held her himself and wouldn't let go. Nan Yu shrugged and followed.

There was a Rolls-Royce parked downstairs.

The assistant opened the back door; previously, Nan Yu would open it first, following the usual order.

Nan Yu said to Lu Yu, "Let's go, I'll take you to a new place."

Lu Yu carried Lu Ling as they sat down. The little girl was very well-behaved the whole time, nestled in her brother's arms. Seeing that Lu Yu was resisting her, she turned to Lu Chengyao and said:

"Come up."
