Pei Nian was stunned.
She couldn't answer that question, nor could she give a proper answer.
“Jingnan…Lu Ran is not my enemy.”
"It's because you don't treat her as an enemy!" Huo Jingnan sighed helplessly. "But what about her? She hates you to the bone. She not only treats you as an enemy, but also as a sworn enemy!"
Pei Nian's expression darkened, and her small fists clenched tightly at her sides.
"I'm not trying to sow discord between you two," Huo Jingnan turned her shoulder, "I'm just telling you from my experience in the military that on the battlefield, it's common for both sides to fight to the death. A bullet won't change direction just because you back down, and an enemy won't let you go just because you back down!"
"Your concessions will only embolden her! You can't let Jiang Mianmian's presence make you hesitant to act!"
Pei Nian was stunned for a moment. These words were like a wake-up call, and they also made her realize Huo Jingnan's feelings for her.
After a long silence, she smiled slightly, her cheeks flushed like peach blossoms. Huo Jingnan stared in disbelief; in that instant, the whole world seemed to light up with her smile.
"Niannian, I..."
"Let's go and help Sister Mianmian with her discharge procedures first," Pei Nian said with a smile.
"oh."
"She's only a little over a month pregnant, and she was quite tired recently. The doctor said she needs to finish her IV nutrition before she can go home."
"Um……"
"Let's go in together after we finish the formalities!"
"Oh, okay..." Huo Jingnan's eyes suddenly lit up. "What did you say?"
"I said, let's go in together, help Sister Mianmian tidy up, and then take them home!"
Huo Jingnan was a little stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Pei Nian gently took his hand and softly gave him four words:
"I'll listen to you."
*
Only the members of the "Happy Four" remained in the ward.
However, the atmosphere could never be the same again.
Jiang Mianmian glanced at her phone. There had been no news from the "Happy Four" group chat for a long time. The word "happy" no longer seemed to suit them.
"Ranran, Junyang," she said with a light laugh, "If you two have nothing else to do, you should go back. Junyu is enough here."
Huo Junyang was about to agree, but Lu Ran remained seated, looking at Jiang Mianmian and whispering, "Sister, let me stay with you. Brother-in-law is a man, he might not think things through..."
"I'm her husband, how could I not be thorough?" Huo Junyu smiled faintly. "Ranran, is there anything else you want to say to your sister?"
Lu Ran's expression froze, and her gaze became somewhat evasive.
"It's nothing," she said softly after a moment. "I just feel that since my sister is pregnant, she shouldn't overwork herself, right? But there's so much going on at the company, I think..."
"Don't worry about that." Huo Junyu stood next to Jiang Mianmian, put one hand on her shoulder, and smiled at Lu Ran. "I am the son-in-law of the Lu family, so it is only natural for me to help the Lu family."
Lu Ran frowned, speechless at Huo Junyu's words.
Just then, Pei Nian and Huo Jingnan entered the room.
Huo Junyu turned to look at them, "By the way, Pei Nian, Mianmian is pregnant now and can't do many things herself, so please keep an eye on the company's affairs as well, okay?"
Pei Nian nodded solemnly.
“You are a junior employee,” Huo Junyu said in a deep voice, “Your perspective on issues is different from ours. A group that can listen to opinions from all sides and look at issues from different angles has a future.”
Lu Ran's expression gradually turned ugly.
However, Jiang Mianmian seemed to agree with Huo Junyu's opinion, and just smiled silently on the side.
Huo Junyang didn't care about these things at all, and there was no way he would fight for her...
Lu Ran felt as if a huge rock was stuck in her chest.
She suddenly remembered what Lu Ming had said to her before his execution—
"You had such a good opportunity to impersonate Lu Xiaoyou and get the Lu family business, but you refused! You're just as stupid as your mother! You two despicable people!"
Suddenly, Lu Ran felt a splitting headache, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Ranran?" Huo Junyang looked at her with concern. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Before he could even reach out, Lu Ran had already dodged.
Huo Junyang's hand froze in mid-air, feeling somewhat embarrassed, as if he had been pricked hard by a needle, with beads of blood seeping out.
"Ranran..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone knocked on the door again, and before the person even came in, he could hear that sweet voice.
"Such a joyous occasion, I'm not too late, am I?"
Bai Zhijin walked in carrying gifts and immediately went to Jiang Mianmian's side as soon as she entered.
Jiang Mianmian was overjoyed, "Why are you here too?"
"Huo Da told me!" Bai Zhijin smiled, her eyes crinkling. "He'd love to take a megaphone and shout it all over the world, letting everyone on Earth know he's going to be a father!"
Huo Junyu coughed twice and frowned.
She couldn't maintain her aloof image anymore.
Jiang Mianmian smiled gently.
Jiang Mianmian didn't think there was anything wrong with Huo Junyu and Bai Zhijin exchanging messages privately. However, Lu Ran's expression changed after Huo Junyang said a few words to Bai Zhijin.
A person with an open and honest heart will naturally not think the worst of others.
However……
At this moment, Lu Ran slowly stood up, her eyes flashing with a cold light as she swept over everyone in the room.
Especially when she saw Bai Zhijin walk towards Huo Junyang, she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh.
"Hey, Huo Er!" Bai Zhijin naturally started talking to him about the comics. "I think the plot of the few drafts you sent me last time is good, but the character designs need to be revised... For example, the male lead's clothes should be more flowing."
Huo Junyang listened attentively, sorting out his thoughts as he listened.
