"that's all?"
Lan Jingyan asked doubtfully, feeling that he couldn't believe it... It was definitely not simple; Yan Xiluo's personal involvement must be suspicious.
However, she was unwilling to say it or press him for details.
"Of course, I don't fight. I value my life even more than you do!"
Yan Qirui, standing next to him, almost burst out laughing. He wondered who had just bombed his base. There hadn't been any fighting, but the shells were handled quite skillfully!
She really didn't fight... Yan Xiluo's tone was so sincere.
"Okay, I'll pick you up from the airport in a bit."
Lan Jingyan was half-believing and half-doubting. At this moment, he had no desire to sleep and only wanted to see the girl return safely as soon as possible.
"Um...no need! Yu Ling is already waiting for me."
Yan Xiluo glanced at Yan Qirui. She couldn't let Lan Jingyan see the two of them going home together; that would give them away.
The motorcycle parked at the airport had already been driven back by someone when Yan Qirui said she would go back with her, and a small car was brought over for her.
"Okay, let me know you get home safely."
Lan Jingyan had no choice but to give in, knowing that Yan Xiluo had rejected him.
"It's so late, you should go to sleep!"
Yan Xilu urged her on.
"good."
Lan Jingyan responded softly.
"Little sister, you really can't lie! You would definitely be found out if you said these things to my face."
Yan Qirui said with amusement, "Yan Xiluo's face just now clearly said, 'I'm lying.'"
"I'm definitely not as good at lying as Fourth Brother!"
That's right! Even she couldn't have imagined that Yan Qirui would have such an identity, hidden so deeply!
In her mind, Yan Qirui had always been a refined and gentle science and engineering student? But what happened?
Even she was fooled by his appearance!
"You little brat, complaining about your fourth brother?"
Isn't the younger sister essentially hiding another identity within herself? He only concealed one identity, while the younger sister has countless identities...
"No way! I'm praising you; you have great composure!"
Yan Xiluo looked out the window; in Country X, there were already faint signs of sunrise! Perhaps the ground was too close to the sky…
And so the two of them enjoyed the sunrise along the way, with Yan Qirui driving.

Zheng Shuyi Villa
"Sis, that person hasn't left yet?"
Zheng Shuhang came over to deliver dumplings to Zheng Shuyi and noticed that there were some men's personal items in the living room, including men's clothes hanging on the balcony outside.
Could it be that the person Zheng Shuyi rescued hasn't left yet? Zheng Shuhang frowned slightly; this wasn't like his sister's usual way of doing things.
"Of course, his injury hasn't healed yet; he needs to rest and recover properly."
Zheng Shuyi didn't intend to hide anything and answered truthfully, saying it wasn't anything shameful.
"Sister, do you mean he should stay with you to recover?"
Zheng Shuhang was shocked. Even his parents and he had never stayed overnight at his sister's house; Zheng Shuyi had always refused them.
But now she's leaving this injured man to recuperate at her house? His gunshot wound has been healing for quite some time! Zheng Shuyi actually agreed?
He stared at Zheng Shuyi in disbelief.
"Otherwise, where could he go in his condition?"
Zheng Shuyi retorted, "Are you going to kick him out? He can't even get out of bed in his current condition, where can he go? Besides, he's being chased, kicking him out is tantamount to sending him into the tiger's den."
She could never do something like that.
"Sis, it's not good for a man and a woman to be alone in a room together! Besides, you have to take care of him! Mom and Dad have never made you do any chores! Why should he?"
Zheng Shuhang always felt that Zheng Shuyi was a bit strange. She hadn't even broken her own principles with her family, but now they had been broken by an injured outsider?
Besides, his sister is the apple of the family's eye; she doesn't need to do anything at home.
Now I have to serve this guy? And he's a grown man! Zheng Shuhang protested, his face full of jealousy.
“Shuhang, you know your sister doesn’t like strangers coming to our house. They mentioned hiring a caregiver or nanny, but I refused. Besides, I’ll see this through. Your sister likes to live alone; what can’t she do? We’ve already gone this far in saving him. If I kick them out now, wouldn’t that be like pushing them back into danger? Wouldn’t all the effort I put into saving him be for nothing?”
Helpless, Zheng Shuyi had no choice but to tell Zheng Shuhang her thoughts one by one, hoping that he would understand what she meant.
At least in his heart, Yan Yixing was still a pretty good person.
"Alright! I know my sister is kind! She's an angel! If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know!"
Zheng Shuhang softened after Zheng Shuyi's words and had no choice but to respect her decision, offering his help.
"Don't keep coming here all the time. I'm worried you'll be targeted. Don't come here for a while! Don't worry, I rescued a good person. He and his family have already sent people to protect us! You don't need to worry about me."
She knew their situation was dangerous, and if Zheng Shuhang ran this way again, she was afraid he would really be implicated.
She felt it was better to avoid trouble.
"Alright then, but... if anything really happens, be sure to call me!"
Zheng Shuhang seemed to have some lingering concerns and emphasized them to Zheng Shuyi.
"Okay, okay! Anyone who didn't know better would think you were my older brother, you're so nagging!"
Zheng Shuyi often felt that Zheng Shuhang was more like an older brother, and he was very protective of her.
"I'd love to be your older brother, but Mom chose you first!"
Zheng Shuhang joked that whether it's the older brother or the younger brother, he will always be good to Zheng Shuyi.
"That's wishful thinking! Alright, let's go!"
Zheng Shuyi immediately ordered him to leave, feeling that Zheng Shuhang should not stay any longer.
Every second that passes increases the danger.
"Okay, I'll head back to the company now!"
Zheng Shuhang personally agreed and then got up to leave.
"Uh-huh."
Zheng Shuyi smiled and nodded, watching him leave the villa and start the car before returning to the living room.
Zheng Shuyi opened the door to the secret room, peeked out, and found that the person on the bed had already woken up.
"My brother just brought over some dumplings my mom made. Would you like to try a few?"
She knew he couldn't eat too much hard-to-digest food yet, but a few small bites were okay.
And also to give him a change of pace.
"good."
Yan Yixing happily agreed, never expecting to get to eat dumplings made by her mother.
"Then you wait here, I'll go cook it now."
Zheng Shuyi returned to the living room, picked up the dumplings Zheng Shuhang had just brought, went to the kitchen, boiled water, and started cooking the dumplings...
After the dumplings had cooled down considerably, she carried them into the secret room.
"The dumplings are here, there's still one more to cook, let them sit for a while longer..."
Zheng Shuyi placed the dumplings on the table and planned to use a cushion to elevate Yan Yixing's body.
"good."
Yan Yixing grinned foolishly, thoroughly enjoying herself.
"ah!"
Zheng Shuyi came over with a cushion, but tripped over her own foot as she turned around... and almost fell onto Yan Yixing...
