The Old Master Lan stayed at the hospital, the two brothers Lan Bai and Lan Chen took turns taking care of him, while the Uncle Yu also rushed over to accompany them. In an instant, everyone in Lan Family was waiting for news from the old man.
Lan Yanxi leaned on Ling Mofeng"s shoulder with a restless heart. Her mind was in a mess as she stared out the window at the fireflies of light.
Although she had long since mentally prepared herself, and knew that they would be scattered at times, when she really had to accept this truth, she was too weak to face it.
"Don"t even think about it, just let nature take its course." The man suddenly reached out his hand and gently covered her dazed eyes, preventing her from being immersed in her grief.
Her vision was obstructed and her brain seemed to have stopped working. Bai Qingyue could only close her eyes, and the long, curling eyelashes streaked across the man"s palm, bringing with it an itch. The man withdrew his hand, and when he looked at her, he discovered that she had closed her eyes, as if she was asleep.
His heart ached as he held her hand. He used to hope that she would be weaker so that he could protect her and let her rely on him. Now, he hoped that she would be strong and not be easily defeated by grief.
Ji Family!
When Ji Xiaohan came back from the company, he noticed the two little guys hiding in the children"s room discussing something big. He couldn"t help but be shocked and immediately asked with concern, "What are you guys hiding here talking about?"
"Daddy, you go out first. We haven"t finished talking. We"ll tell you when we"ve finished discussing it." The two little fellows immediately looked at him unhappily.
Ji Xiaohan had no choice but to come out from the children"s room. He opened the bedroom door and found that Tang Youyou wasn"t inside. He took off his jacket and walked towards the gym on the third floor.
Tang Youyou had pla
ed a fitness program for herself when the two of them said they wanted a child, so she might be in the gym right now.
The man"s thin lips lifted as he walked quickly into the gym. Sure enough, he saw a woman on the treadmill. She was walking with a graceful posture and her long hair was tied behind her head. She was wearing a tight sportswear that revealed her slim waist and long legs like white jade.
She was listening to the music as she walked quickly. Naturally, she didn"t notice Ji Xiaohan"s appearance behind her.
The man took out a bottle of water from the cabinet beside him and unscrewed it. He slowly drank it all up as if he was admiring the beautiful scenery. He stared at the beautiful figure without blinking.
Tang Youyou had been walking for nearly half an hour and was already sweating profusely. Her back was also sweating profusely, and her skintight clothes were sticking to her, accentuating her exquisite figure.
She took a towel to wipe her sweat off and turned off the music. Turning around, she saw a man who was sitting on a ma.s.sage chair with his legs crossed at some point.
On the big black chair, the man had a st.u.r.dy body, long legs, and an imposing aura.
"When did you arrive?" Tang Youyou suddenly felt shy. Oh my G.o.d, how long has this man been sitting here?
Ji Xiaohan shook the bottle in his hand as if he was telling her that he finished a bottle of water.
Tang Youyou walked over, a little embarra.s.sed. "Why didn"t you remind me?"
"If I were to remind you, wouldn"t I be able to hear your singing?" The man"s smile was especially obnoxious.
G.o.d, did he hear that?
Tang Youyou could feel blood rus.h.i.+ng to her head. Her heart was burning with rage, and she wanted to punch him.
"You sang quite well." What Ji Xiaohan said was the truth. Tang Youyou was humming a song just now. Although she didn"t sing a song, her voice sounded very melodious.
Tang Youyou still couldn"t control her fist and swung it towards his chest, but the man pulled her into his embrace with a nasty force. Tang Youyou"s delicate body wasn"t a match for him, so she fell into his embrace.
"Do you want to ma.s.sage together?" the man suddenly asked mischievously.
"No!" Tang Youyou tried her best to stand up from his embrace, but the man"s arm was tightly wrapped around her waist.
"Let me go, I"m covered in sweat." Tang Youyou protested in dissatisfaction.
"I don"t mind." As the man spoke, he reached out to her forehead and pulled out a few strands of her hair, revealing her pink and tender face after exercising. "Why are you working so hard? Look at how tired you are."
Tang Youyou immediately stopped struggling after hearing his scolding. Instead, she lazily leaned against his chest and grabbed his big hands. "I just want my physical fitness to be better. If I do that, the chances of me getting pregnant will be higher."
"Are you questioning my ability?" Ji Xiaohan"s face immediately darkened. The thing he disliked the most was being suspected of his masculinity.
"Where are you thinking? I mean, I"m in good health, and kids are healthier, so what does that have to do with your ability? " Seeing that he was about to get angry even like this, Tang Youyou couldn"t help but reply with an angry smile.
"We haven"t done anything for a long time. How could we be pregnant so quickly? Don"t worry." Ji Xiaohan kissed her soft cheeks and comforted her with a smile.
"I"m not in a hurry." Tang Youyou looked disapproving.
Just as the two of them were enjoying this rare moment of attachment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
"The children are here, hurry up and help me up." Tang Youyou knew it was the little guy who ran over. When she saw her posture, she immediately blushed and begged the man to help her up.
Although Ji Xiaohan was reluctant to let her leave his embrace, but for the sake of Xiao Xiao"s mental health, he still helped Tang Youyou to her feet.
"Daddy, Mommy, our school has a a.s.signment." Before Ji Xiaonai could run in, her voice had already drifted in.
Ji Xiaohan and Tang Youyou looked at each other with curiosity.
"Xiaonai, what homework does your school have?" Ji Xiaohan asked her curiously.
"The teacher said that every student has to do their own homework on this double day. Daddy, can you and Mommy take us to the mall tomorrow? My brother and I will go our separate ways to buy things, and besides, you adults can"t get too close. " Ji Xiaonai was already five and a half years old this year. She had grown a lot taller and her speech was getting better and better. She no longer spoke in a childish voice but looked like a little adult.
Ji Xiaorui followed in. At this moment, he was much taller than a normal boy. If he walked out, everyone would definitely realize that he was six or seven years old.
"You don"t want us to follow you?" This is very dangerous. " Tang Youyou was astounded.
"We"re going to be old soon. We"re not young anymore." Ji Xiaonai said seriously.
Ji Xiaorui also nodded: "That"s right, all the other students in our cla.s.s have finished their homework, only Xiaonai and I haven"t finished it. Daddy, Mommy, can you guys be at ease and let us go out for a stroll? We promise not to run around.
"Yeah, everyone else thinks we"re weird. They say our family is too rich." Ji Xiaonai pouted with a wronged expression.
When Ji Xiaohan and Tang Youyou heard this, they didn"t know whether to laugh or cry.
This was the first time he felt that being too rich was actually a huge problem for the children.
"Okay, since you guys want to finish this homework seriously, then Daddy and Mommy will definitely help you guys out. Tomorrow, on the double day, Daddy won"t be working, so we"ll take you guys to the mall to shop, but you have to listen to our arrangement, you can"t just walk around randomly, right?" In order to fulfill the children"s wish, Ji Xiaohan decided to cooperate with them once.
"Yea, Daddy is great, thank you Daddy." Ji Xiaonai immediately rushed over and kissed Ji Xiaohan"s handsome face twice. Then, she happily turned around and left with her brother.
Tang Youyou was stu
ed, she did not expect Ji Xiaohan to agree to the children"s request.
"Didn"t you say that we can"t let the children go out because the situation isn"t good?" Tang Youyou was still quite worried about her safety.
"The current situation is much better now. Liu Da Huan is in sight, the old president has run out of energy, his people shouldn"t be able to overturn the sky, and the children have been cooped up at home for too long. It"s time to release their instincts." Ji Xiaohan smiled as he comforted his little wife.
"Then can I go to work too?" Tang Youyou"s beautiful eyes instantly lit up.
"Are you sure you want to go back to work? "With our baby?" Ji Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled at her with malicious intent.
Tang Youyou trembled. "I still don"t have anything on my mind. Plus, getting pregnant doesn"t have anything to do with going to work. I don"t care. If I"m safe, I have to go to work."
Ji Xiaohan sighed helplessly: "I really can"t do anything to you. Alright, after the election, I will support you in whatever you want to do."
"That"s what you said." Tang Youyou"s mood instantly blossomed with happiness.
