With Su Ruoyan's decision confirmed, Nan Qu's next step is to see what Nan Xing thinks. If he agrees, then Su Ruoyan will be the nanny.
Nan Qu then called the agency and told them they didn't need to send anyone over.
To be honest, Nan Qu felt that Su Ruoyan was more trustworthy than the others.
It was probably because Su Ruoyan knew about her situation, and she also knew about Su Ruoyan's abilities.
Another point is that if Su Ruoyan can really take good care of Nanxing, she wouldn't mind trying to detoxify him after everything is over.
Because of this, Nan Qu felt that she had the means to negotiate with Su Ruoyan, and felt more at ease.
Nan Qu had just seen Zhao Yi and his group off and started tidying up the courtyard when Su Ruoyan came out with her toiletries: "I just got in the car and I smell a bit strong. Do you mind if I take a shower?"
Nan Qu smiled and said, "Before my son kicks you out, you can do whatever you want with the rest of the house except for my room."
Su Ruoyan smiled upon hearing this: "Then thank you very much. I will do my best to make your son satisfied with me."
Nanqu nodded seriously: "I hope so too."
Nan Qu didn't mention the antidote yet; he'd wait until he was certain he could stay before discussing it further.
In the afternoon, when the kindergarten school bus stopped in front of Nan Qu's house, Nan Xing saw his mother's face light up with a bright smile, and Nan Qu generously gave her son a sweet kiss.
However, when he got home, he discovered something that felt like a bolt from the blue.
First, a man with "malicious intentions" inexplicably appeared in the family. Nanxing instinctively felt that this man was trying to steal his mother away. He had finally managed to accept the possibility that someone might try to take his mother away from him in the future. This was absolutely unacceptable!
Secondly, he used to sleep sweetly with his mother, but now he's been assigned a separate room! It's not like he's never slept in a nice room before, but none of them are as sweet as his mother's embrace.
Nan Qu could see that Nan Xing was unhappy, but she also knew that this was something he had to go through.
"Son, have you forgotten what Mom said before about going out to work? Didn't we agree to find you a nanny to take care of you?"
Nanxing's face was tense at this moment, and she remained silent.
Nan Qu was torn, thinking about whether she should stop working for the time being, when Su Ruoyan spoke up: "Can I talk to him alone?"
Nan Qu glanced at Nan Xing, then at Su Ruoyan. After thinking for a moment, she nodded: "I'll go cook."
Nan Qu didn't know what the two talked about, but when she came over after making dinner, she found that Nan Xing didn't dislike Su Ruoyan as much anymore.
Nan Qu thinks this is a good thing.
Seeing the worry in Nan Qu's eyes, Nan Xing finally said hesitantly, "I agree to let him stay in our house. But, Mom can only like me, not him!"
Nanxing's words left the two adults speechless and embarrassed. Nanqu playfully pinched Nanxing's nose: "What nonsense are you talking about? He's here to take care of you. Now that you've agreed to let Uncle Su come to our house, can we go eat now?"
At night, Nan Qu was still giving Nan Xing a medicinal bath. Su Ruoyan watched curiously from the side, asking, "What are you doing?"
Nan Qu didn't hide anything: "It's nothing, just good for health."
After saying that, Nanqu added, "By the way, although you may not believe it, if my problem is resolved within two years, and you do not disappoint me, I can consider treating your illness."
Nan Qu's words left Su Ruoyan completely stunned.
According to the information, Nan Qu doesn't have any medical skills. However, from the medicinal bath she prepared for Nan Xing and the look in Nan Qu's eyes just now, Su Ruoyan knew that Nan Qu wasn't lying.
Nan Qu has always had secrets, and perhaps this is one of them.
However, Su Ruoyan smiled again immediately, but the despondency in his eyes was impossible to hide. He had spent four years getting used to his poisoning and accepting the fact that he was going to die.
He's tried everything he could think of, and he's given up hope.
At night, before going to sleep, Nan Qu heard a soft knock on the door. When she opened it, she saw Nan Xing staring at her expectantly.
Seeing his expression, Nan Qu shook her head with amusement: "Come on."
Nanxing immediately smiled happily and followed Nanqu around like a little puppy. She nestled contentedly in her mother's arms.
"You can still sleep with Mommy now, but you won't be able to when Xiaoxing starts elementary school~"
Nanxing nodded vigorously upon hearing this. He understood Uncle Su's words and would try his best to learn to be independent and not cause trouble for his mother. However, he was still young and needed to take it slowly.
Su Ruoyan, having finished washing up, lit the incense that Nan Qu had just delivered. She said it was made with agarwood, bamboo, cloves, and several other herbs, and that it would help with sleep.
Su Ruoyan didn't believe this. His body was being attacked by toxins, and it was impossible for a few sticks of incense to improve it.
However, they had already set it up and placed it there, and all he needed to do was light it. Although he felt it was unnecessary, he didn't want to disappoint them out of politeness.
Originally, Su Ruoyan planned to install the computer that night, but looking at the soft, large bed, she remembered that she had always thought the bed looked very comfortable and had a strange allure.
There's nothing wrong with lying down and experiencing it.
As Su Ruoyan lay down on the bed, she gradually smelled a fragrance—a soft, rich, oily aroma of sandalwood, the fresh scent of bamboo, and, to be precise, a hint of medicinal notes...
At seven o'clock the next morning, Su Ruoyan suddenly opened his eyes. He looked around at his surroundings in a daze, and only when he came to his senses did he realize that he had actually slept all night.
For the past four years, he has only been able to fall asleep at 3 a.m. and wake up at 6 a.m. But today he slept through the entire night.
Su Ruoyan suddenly remembered the incense from last night.
He then realized that the incense had actually helped him fall asleep peacefully. Did that mean that Nan Qu's claim of treating his illness wasn't entirely impossible?
Thinking of this, Su Ruoyan clutched his rapidly beating heart. He admitted that he was somewhat looking forward to it.
Su Ruoyan changed her shoes and came out of the room, only to see Nan Qu and Nan Xing coming in from outside.
Upon seeing Su Ruoyan, Nan Qu raised an eyebrow and teased, "You woke up later than the host family, are you sure you're here to be a nanny?"
Su Ruoyan also felt a little guilty, so he coughed lightly and said, "It's my first day here, I'm not familiar with things yet, but I won't do it again."
Nan Qu knew it was because of the aroma of the medicine; his poor physical resistance was already linked to poor sleep.
"The aroma of the medicine will help you sleep for at least 6 hours, so if you don't want to have trouble waking up in the morning, it's best to go to bed early at night."
Su Ruoyan nodded: "Okay."
He slept for at least ten hours last night, which was a real luxury for him. As for the six hours that Nan Qu mentioned, Su Ruoyan was also satisfied.
