Huo Sihan: "I'm physically strong, I can handle these painkillers!"

Huo Sihan stepped forward and hugged Chi Wan. "Wanwan, I really don't want to lose you! As soon as I found out Nancheng was back in the country, I came right away. I was so scared. I was so scared that someone would take advantage of my absence to enter your life and your heart. I was afraid of being replaced by someone else!"

Now he held her quietly, and Chi Wan could hear his strong, pounding heartbeat and his murmured words of love.

Even someone like Huo Sihan has fears; he's afraid someone will take her away, he's afraid of being replaced.

Chi Wan's heart softened completely. She slowly reached out and hugged Huo Sihan. "No! I've been searching for a way to remove the Heart-Connecting Gu, Huo Sihan, I will heal you!"

Huo Sihan: "I believe you! You are my cure!"

everything will get better.

Huo Sihan and Chi Wan embraced quietly. At that moment, a tall figure walked over; it was Lu Nancheng.

Huo Sihan and Chi Wan had both left, and Lu Nancheng, feeling bored, went out alone, only to unexpectedly witness them embracing.

Lu Nancheng stopped in his tracks. In fact, he really liked Chi Wan. Chi Wan was beautiful, resilient and talented. When she came into his view, his eyes lit up.

However, since Chi Wan and Huo Sihan were in love, he had to give up the idea.

Lu Nancheng gave a wry smile.

At this moment, Huo Sihan and Chi Wan parted ways, and Huo Sihan saw Lu Nancheng, "Nancheng."

Lu Nancheng walked over and said, "We've finished eating. Let's go back."

Huo Sihan: "Where are you staying now? Would you like to come stay at my place?"

Lu Nancheng refused, saying, "It would be strange for two single men like us to live together. I'm afraid people will misunderstand. I'll go back to my villa."

Huo Sihan said, "You really don't appreciate kindness. I only invited you because I was worried you would be lonely."

Lu Nancheng: "Thank you."

Just then, a melodious cell phone ringtone sounded; Lu Nancheng was calling.

This was an unfamiliar number. Lu Nancheng answered, "Hello, who is this?"

Soon a pleasant female voice came over, "It's me, Lin Xiyao."

Lu Nancheng paused for a moment, holding his phone; he hadn't expected it to be Lin Xiyao.

He and Lin Xiyao didn't even exchange phone numbers, and Lin Xiyao never called him first.

This is the first time.

Lu Nancheng said coldly, "I have something to say."

Lin Xiyao: "Something came up. I just got off the plane and arrived in Beijing. Come pick me up!"

Lu Nancheng was shocked. "You've come to Beijing? What are you doing here?"

Lin Xiyao: "I didn't want to come either, but your grandfather called my grandfather, and he prepared a private jet overnight to bring me here!"

Lu Nancheng, "..."

Lin Xiyao: "My grandfather also gave me an order that I must live with you, so you have to come and pick me up!"

Lu Nancheng, "Live with me?"

Lu Nancheng was speechless. Just then, his phone rang again. This time it was Old Master Lu calling.

Lu Nancheng answered the phone directly with Grandpa Lu, "Hello, Grandpa, did you send Lin Xiyao over here?"

Grandpa Lu said, "You brat, why didn't you take Xi Yao with you when you went to Beijing? You two are husband and wife, and after five years of marriage, there's still no sign of a baby. Xi Yao's belly is still flat. Both our families are waiting to hold our great-grandchild!"

Lu Nancheng, "Lin Xiyao and I..."

Grandpa Lu suddenly cried out, "Ouch, my heart hurts, my head hurts, my whole body aches!"

The butler's voice came through, "Old Master, what's wrong? Take your medicine quickly, it's here!"

Old Master Lu said, "I won't take it! I don't want to take medicine! Seeing that our Lu family has no successor, I don't want to take medicine. Let me die instead. I won't have the face to face our ancestors in the afterlife!"

Butler: "Old Master, you can't joke around with your health! Young Master, please say something! Don't upset the old man. You know his health; the doctor said he can't be stimulated!"

Lu Nancheng knew that his grandfather was an actor, but in recent years, the old man's health had indeed been deteriorating. Five years ago, the old man had a serious illness and was admitted to the intensive care unit. At that time, the old man, who was on tubes, held his hand and asked him to marry Lin Xiyao, the daughter of the Lin family, and he agreed.

Grandpa Lu pulled through that time, but he has been taking medicine to maintain his health for the past few years. Lu Nancheng also knows that his grandfather is holding on to his last breath because he wants the Lu family to have an heir.

Grandpa Lu said, "I think this brat doesn't want to care about me anymore. Anyway, everyone else has great-grandchildren to hold, but I don't. There's nothing left for me to live for in this world. Tomorrow I'll ask Grandpa Lin to let us hang ourselves together."

Mentioning Old Master Lin, Lu Nancheng could only say, "..."

This old man Lin is quite a character; his methods of pressuring people to get married and have children are no less elaborate than those of old man Lu.

Lu Nancheng could already imagine what methods Old Master Lin had used to get Lin Xiyao onto the plane.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiyao did not want to get involved with him.

Lu Nancheng: "Alright, Grandpa, stop acting! Lin Xiyao has already gotten off the plane, I'm going to pick her up now!"

Grandpa Lu immediately stopped fussing. "Then hurry up and go! Don't keep my granddaughter-in-law waiting!"

Lu Nancheng, "Isn't Lin Xiyao your real daughter?!"

Grandpa Lu said, "Bring Xi Yao home. You two will live together, and you'll sleep together!"

Lu Nancheng could only reply perfunctorily, "I understand."

"You brat, don't think you can get away with this. Let me tell you, I sent Aunt Rong here this time. Aunt Rong is here to keep an eye on you two on behalf of me and the Lin family!"

The old man even sent a spy over?

Lu Nancheng was already at his wit's end. "That's it, I'm hanging up!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Nancheng found the unfamiliar number again and dialed it.

The call connected quickly, and Lin Xiyao's pleasant voice came through again, "Have you figured out the situation?"

Lu Nancheng: "Understood."

Lin Xiyao: "Aunt Rong and I are at the airport now. Come pick us up!"

Lu Nancheng: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Nancheng met the gazes of Huo Sihan and Chi Wan, whose eyes were shining and who were looking at him with gossip in their eyes.

Huo Sihan: "Nancheng, you're something else. I was just saying you were all alone and I was worried you'd be lonely, and the next second your wife is sent over here."

Chi Wan knew that Lu Nancheng was married, but she had not yet met Lin Xiyao.

Lu Nancheng had barely met anyone, so it was impossible for Chi Wan to meet her.

Chi Wan asked curiously, "I've heard that Mrs. Lu is the most prominent socialite, but I've never met her."

Huo Sihan smiled and said, "We should have a chance to meet her soon. This Mrs. Lu is a famous beauty!"

If Huo Sihan praises someone as beautiful, then she must be extremely beautiful.

Chi Wan laughed, "Nancheng, so your Mrs. Lu is a great beauty! Congratulations! You should cherish Mrs. Lu!"
