How could he do this!
Su Xiaoxiao and Shan Jinxi kept their identities a secret, but she never expected that he would reveal their identities in such a peculiar way when he left.
She put down the special gift and turned to chase after them, but Nangong Yi pulled her into his arms first, holding her tightly and saying, "Silly girl, if you chase after them, not only will you miss them, but your grandfather will also be heartbroken."
"But why did he reveal our identities at this time?"
Su Xiaoxiao understood why Nangong Yi didn't want her to see them off, but the words that Shan Jinxi had specially carved on the base of the preserved flower made her feelings complicated.
She had always thought that he would never reveal her secret identity.
But now...
"Can't you really see his intentions?"
Nangong Yi didn't expect Shan Jinxi to have such a 'little scheme', but he quickly understood the other party's good intentions.
If Su Xiaoxiao never reveals her true identity, she will always call Su Xiangming "Grandpa Su" in front of Shan Jinxi, who is an "outsider," which is what he least wants.
He was her older brother, and he promised to protect her for life, so he would definitely keep this little secret.
Moreover, when the couple visited Su Xiangming in France later, he clarified their relationship, and Su Xiaoxiao was able to call him 'Grandpa' without any problem.
Nangong Yi briefly explained his understanding to his wife, then put his arm around her and walked to the balcony.
Just then, Shan Jinxi helped Su Xiangming into the car. When he looked back at the balcony, he immediately waved gently to the couple.
"Goodbye, Grandpa and Brother Jin!"
Su Xiaoxiao stood on the balcony, softly saying goodbye, but the tears in her eyes burst forth the moment the car drove away from the gate.
...
One month later.
When Nangong Yi shifted most of his work focus to France, a small accident and incident occurred the night before he was to go to the branch office.
Su Xiaoxiao, who was packing her luggage in the bedroom, suddenly felt nauseous and began to vomit. She also knelt down on the floor in extreme discomfort.
"Honey, I...I'm not feeling well."
Su Xiaoxiao called out to Nangong Yi, who was taking a shower in the bathroom, but the sound of rushing water completely drowned out her voice. She could only force herself to get up and knock on the door.
Nangong Yi was slightly taken aback when he heard the knocking. After he turned off the shower, the knocking from outside the door was not loud, but this time he heard it very clearly.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Nangong Yi grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around himself before rushing to open the door.
When he saw Su Xiaoxiao standing at the door, pale-faced, he was so frightened that he quickly carried her to the bed.
However, before he could put her down, Su Xiaoxiao started gagging again. This time, it seemed even worse than before, causing her to curl up immediately.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
"Nangong, my stomach feels really uncomfortable, but I just can't vomit."
Nangong Yi looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was retching incessantly, with worry quickly appearing in his eyes.
He immediately dialed Huangfu Junhao's cell phone and briefly explained his wife's situation to him.
Huangfu Junhao, who was drinking with Shan Jiaxi at the 'Rose Aegean Sea', was startled by Nangong Yi's phone call and broke out in a cold sweat, especially when he heard the words 'Xiaoxiao looks terrible right now and her body is trembling uncontrollably'. He mistakenly thought that the incident from before had happened again.
The thought of Su Xiaoxiao almost disappearing a long time ago made him quickly put down the wine glass he was holding and say to Nangong Yi, "I'm coming right away. Please don't turn on the heater, and don't keep her warm like before... you..."
"You came to my house, are you trying to make my wife suffer? I'm taking Xiaoxiao to the hospital right now, so get over here right now."
"Beep beep beep—"
After being yelled at by Nangong Yi, Huangfu Junhao was completely out of it. He was genuinely worried that Su Xiaoxiao would experience the same thing again.
After all, the things that happened to her are things that even science cannot explain.
But now Nangong Yi says he's going to send the person to the hospital.
"What's wrong with Su Xiaoxiao again?"
When Shan Jiaxi saw Huangfu Junhao suddenly freeze in place, her brows furrowed again.
This person, who is about to go to France, is making such a fuss before leaving.
Su Xiaoxiao, that auntie, really knows how to cause trouble.
Shan Jiaxi gleaned something from Huangfu Junhao's phone conversation. He patted his friend on the shoulder and said seriously, "If something really happens to her, not only will Nangong be angry, but my older brother, who's far away in France, might come straight here. Let's go quickly."
"Um!"
