"Lu Yan, are you going out?"
“Yes, we’re leaving tomorrow morning.” Lu Yan didn’t stop cooking; he decided to make her some fried rice. “In Country A, a branch of the Qin family has been making some moves lately. I suspect that Su Yan’s older brother’s death was not an accident.”
He originally thought she would be back in another two weeks, so he set a date, but she suddenly moved it up.
Xia Yixin was initially discouraged and became dejected, but then she thought of another problem.
The original novel only mentioned that Su Yan's brother died in a car accident. Could there really be another reason?
"How about... I disguise myself and follow you?" She didn't want to have to part ways so soon after meeting, even though she still had classes to catch up on.
Her offer tempted him, but considering the current uncertain situation, he declined.
"The situation there is unclear, so wait for me patiently. I will be back as soon as possible."
Xia Yixin sighed softly, but quickly composed herself.
"Then I'll help you pack your things. How many days are you going?" Xia Yixin said as she returned to her bedroom and opened the closet.
"At most half a month, at least a week." This was the first time she had been so proactive, and he was a little curious about how she was going to tidy up for her.
She pouted and muttered under her breath, "This is fast enough? Humph, you big liar."
Despite saying that, she still carefully selected some clothes. The man had good taste, but his clothes were mostly black, white, and gray, except for the couple's clothes that she had bought intermittently over the past year.
She picked out several outfits, and the more she packed, the more she ended up with; her small duffel bag turned into a large suitcase.
Lu Yan stopped the girl who wanted to pack everything in the house, saying, "That's enough. It's not like we're meeting foreign guests; it's just dealing with family matters."
There might even be bloodshed.
"Oh, right. There's something else I need to give you." Xia Yixin took out half of the clothes, ran back to the bedroom to get something, and stuffed it into the back of his luggage with a blush on her face.
As he placed the package, he said, "There aren't many medicinal plants available in this world, so I'll give you all my stock. It's a small packet of stuff. Besides the ones for treating injuries, there's also something for temporary use. If a woman tries to seduce you and gives you something to eat, just take a pill to calm your mind and reduce your desires, and you'll be fine. I've also put dozens of kinds of aphrodisiacs and poisons in it. You must protect your chastity."
Lu Yan was both amused and exasperated. How could they describe him as someone so frail that he would collapse at the slightest push?
"Am I really that weak?" He raised an eyebrow in displeasure.
"I was just doing this in case, and besides, I'm not even by your side."
Lu Yan looked at her and couldn't help but chuckle. "Actually, I've always had a bold idea."
She looked completely bewildered.
Lu Yan smiled and beckoned to her. Xia Yixin leaned closer and heard a word. She was still a little confused until Lu Yan explained its purpose. She was both embarrassed and angry, so she pinched him.
"Lu Yan, what on earth is going on in your head?!"
"It's all your fault." He took her hand and said, "Let's eat first."
Looking at the man with his back to her, she felt that she had been tricked by him again. Unconvinced, she rushed into the bedroom, took something from her underwear drawer, and stuffed it into his suitcase.
Anyway... anyway, he said it himself, so she wanted to see if he was just teasing her.
Thinking of the purpose he had mentioned earlier, her ears burned, and she grabbed her suitcase and fled as fast as a thief.
Lu Yan was bringing out the dishes from the kitchen and didn't see the woman's little tricks.
Fried rice with eggs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded eggplant and potatoes—all her favorites—along with sweet and sour pork ribs, which were delicious and tangy.
She ate a whole bowl of rice and then forgot all about the little things she had done earlier.
She lost ten pounds in the past few months because the filming was so tough that she felt like she was about to cry after a meal.
It's so good to be home.
During the meal, Xia Yixin suddenly remembered the message she received from Su Yan a few days ago: "You really agreed to let her leave the entertainment industry?"
The incident that happened half a month ago, although Yan Yiran's injury has healed, has affected his global tour, but he has also been given more than a month of rest.
Su Yan may have told Yan Yiran about her decision, but the latter objected. He didn't want her to give up her dream. The two young lovers were annoyed for a while, but then they made up. Then Su Yan confronted Lu Yan.
Lu Yan nodded. "I've already spoken to Xingyao. We'll minimize the impact, and if she wants to continue her studies after she returns, we'll give her a new identity."
Xia Yixin could only feel sorry for Su Yan's fans, but after all, it was the best choice.
Lu Yan's next words almost made her choke.
"Most importantly, Su Yan is pregnant."
"What!?" She suddenly remembered the notification she had inexplicably heard earlier. No wonder the male supporting character's rise to power subplot had suddenly been completed.
But she had just called her a few days ago. How dare that little brat Su Yan keep it from her! Humph!
After finishing her meal, she immediately called Su Yan to "complain" about her, "You're really not giving me any face! You actually told me first and didn't tell me!"
On the other end of the phone, Su Yan sounded a little guilty and shy. "Well, I don't really know either. My brother figured it out. I only checked today... Sister-in-law, my brother's eyesight is amazing. I'll never dare to stand in front of him again."
"..." The woman who actually possessed the "healing genius" cheat code felt a little frustrated.
After hanging up the phone, she strolled outside and looked at the man washing dishes with his back to her. She couldn't help but ask him how he knew Su Yan was pregnant.
To everyone's surprise, the man replied, "She has two heartbeats."
Xia Yixin had a feeling that she had known it all along.
"Besides, I need to know some things in advance if you get pregnant, just in case. You can tell from the way she walks," Lu Yan said calmly.
Xia Yixin blushed with pride, "You've got quite a long way to go, hmph, you scoundrel."
That evening, after a long separation, their reunion was naturally filled with tender feelings.
The next morning.
When Lu Yan picked up the luggage the girl had given him and prepared to leave, Xia Yixin hadn't even gotten out of bed yet.
Lu Yan took the dazed little girl into his arms.
"Madam, I'm about to board the plane, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"I have nothing to say to you, hmph." She snorted, this pretentious jerk.
He raised an eyebrow and blew a breath into her ear, "Are you sure, Madam?"
Xia Yixin jolted awake and opened her eyes to look at someone.
The man was impeccably dressed in a suit, mature and reserved, with the air of a domineering CEO, but the way he looked at her was like that of a wronged little child.
Although this guy is arrogant, awkward, and cunning, and loves to bully me, he's also incredibly jealous, but his mental age is at most three years old.
They got a good deal today and are now acting innocent.
But he also loves her, and this man is hers.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
She couldn't resist grabbing his tie.
