“Baby, your sadness is written all over your face. Can you tell me what's wrong? Don't keep it bottled up inside.”
Lan Jingyan felt sorry for her; he didn't want to see her so sad.
“Sister Ningning knows that I am Third Brother’s sister. After drinking the soup that Mom made, she asked me if I was Third Brother’s sister. Sister Ningning started crying while eating, and she cried very sadly.”
Yan Xiluo choked up for a while, and Lan Jingyan silently patted her back and took a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Then Sister Ningning asked Third Brother why he was hospitalized. I couldn't come up with a better reason, so I told the truth."
Yan Xiluo snuggled closer to Lan Jingyan and gently leaned on his shoulder.
"After hearing this, Sister Ningning didn't say anything, but I could see the deep pain in her eyes; her soul seemed to have left her body. Later, she said she wanted to be alone for a while, so I came out."
Yan Xiluo felt increasingly guilty as she spoke, her mind filled with the image of Jiang Xuening heartbroken, as if her soul had been ripped out.
"Okay. Don't be sad. This is their problem, and how they solve it is their problem. We can't help them."
Lan Jingyan stroked her head to comfort her and hugged her even tighter.
Ward 910
Yan Yuze's inner monologue:
Today's soup and the other two dishes were clearly made by my mother.
Did Luo Luo bring food to Ning Ning?
Does Ningning know that Luoluo is my sister?
Then I can't sneak off to see her tonight...
Yan Yuze kept thinking back to what Jiang Xuening had said in her sleep last night.
"Aze, I'm sorry."
"I miss you."
"I'm back, Aze."
"I won't give up..."
"I can finally come to see you..."
"But Aze doesn't want me anymore..."
"He told me not to mess with him..."
Even though it was just her sleep talking, Jiang Xuening was still crying...
He stayed by her side for hours, and all the things she talked about in her sleep were about him. It was hard for him not to be moved by what he heard, and his heart ached terribly.
Seeing her tears sliding down her cheeks, he didn't dare wipe them away for her.
He longed to approach her, but he was also afraid; he was torn between two choices.
He felt like he was going crazy, so he took out a cigarette and prepared to light it.
At this moment, Lan Jingyan and Yan Xiluo returned.
"Third Brother, are you crazy? Don't you care about your health?"
Yan Xiluo snatched the cigarette from him and glared at him angrily.
"Luo Luo, I'm so annoyed, I just want to smoke a cigarette."
His tone carried a hint of annoyance, which he tried hard not to show in front of Yan Xiluo.
"Your body is recovering, so you can't smoke."
No matter the reason, she would not let Yan Yuze smoke.
"Aze, listen to Luoluo."
Lan Jingyan looked at him and spoke calmly.
He knew what was on his mind, knew he was in pain, but as his brother, he believed that health was more important.
If I don't take care of my health, how can I solve the emotional problems that follow?
Yan Yuze didn't say anything more, but lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Lan Jingyan had no choice but to pull Yan Xiluo away and sit on the balcony.
He knew he needed time to calm down and collect his emotions.
They gave him enough private space.
Ward 909
"Honey, you're doing quite well in this hospital, why do you suddenly want to transfer?"
Sister Xiong was puzzled. She rushed over immediately after receiving Jiang Xuening's message, thinking that something had happened to her.
"I just want a change of scenery."
Yes, she was scared and ran away.
She couldn't keep hurting Yan Yuze, and she couldn't appear in front of them anymore.
She could no longer give an explanation for their relationship.
"Oh, my dear, this is the best hospital in our city, and the environment is the best too. Where else do you want to go?"
Sister Xiong was even more bewildered. The best hospital, the best doctors, the best medical skills, the best environment—why did she have to change?
"Please arrange it for me, Sister Xiong."
She didn't want to explain, much less say more; her mind was made up anyway.
She looked at Sister Xiong with a determined gaze, her attitude very clear.
"Okay, okay, I'll contact another good hospital for you right away."
Sister Xiong couldn't do anything about her; after all, no one could change her mind once she made up her mind.
Soon, Sister Xiong contacted the hospital and completed the transfer procedures for Jiang Xuening.
Yan Family Villa
In the afternoon, Yan Xiluo went home since she had nothing else to do. She planned to visit the Lin family the next day to see her parents.
"Sister, you're back?"
Yan Yinran hadn't seen Yan Xiluo for a long time. She had just returned from a private class and was resting on the sofa for a few minutes when she saw Yan Xiluo come back.
She was pleasantly surprised.
"Um."
Yan Xiluo responded to her indifferently, without much expression.
"Sister, can I ask you for a few dance moves? I feel like I'm not doing them very well."
Yan Yinran suddenly remembered that there were a few dance moves that she always performed imperfectly, which her private teacher hadn't noticed much.
"OK."
Yan Xiluo figured she had nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, and since she genuinely wanted to get along well with her, she could help her check her movements.
"That's great, thank you so much, sister. I've been wanting to ask you to help me with the dance moves for the past few days, but unfortunately you're never home."
Yan Yinran was overjoyed to hear that Yan Xiluo had agreed. She hadn't expected Yan Xiluo to agree so readily; she had thought she would be rejected.
After all, Yan Xiluo had always been lukewarm towards her, and she really couldn't figure out what Yan Xiluo's attitude towards her was.
"I've been busy lately. If you need anything, feel free to message me and I'll reply when I see it."
Yan Xiluo finally relented, seeing that her expression wasn't feigned.
She suddenly realized that she was actually kind of cute?
"Okay, sister, I've always been afraid you're too busy, so I haven't dared to bother you."
She was afraid that Yan Xiluo would dislike her because of what had happened before, so she didn't dare to send her messages, let alone ask her for help.
She was afraid that disturbing her would make Yan Xiluo dislike her even more.
Yan Xiluo's words surprised her greatly.
"Okay, change into your dance clothes and head to the dance studio in half an hour."
It was a good opportunity for her to loosen up; she hadn't danced in a long time and her whole body felt itchy.
"Okay, I'll go upstairs and get ready."
After saying that, Yan Yinran picked up her small backpack and ran upstairs.
In a secluded corner of the Yan family home.
"Owner."
Ah Hui called out respectfully.
"Zhang Hui, didn't you deal with the person I asked you to handle properly?"
A stern voice, tinged with anger, came from the other end of the phone.
"How is this possible? My men are absolutely certain he's dead, and he's already been buried!"
Ahui panicked a little. She had handled it very well, so how could it not have been cleaned up properly?
"Then how come someone saw him still alive?"
The voices of doubt continued to come from the other end of the phone.
"This...how is this possible? Absolutely impossible! Master, there are so many people in the world who look alike!"
Ah Hui's voice trembled slightly, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe it, it was completely impossible!
