Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 359 It Doesn't Matter If I'm One More

Su Wen sighed, "Bro, pay attention!"

"Oh, oh!" Ning Zhiyuan received the message. "Fifth Miss, will you marry me? I hope you can give me a proper status!"

"Hahaha!" A woman burst into laughter from the side.

Although Ning Zhiyuan's last sentence was somewhat funny, upon closer examination, it was indeed true.

"Ruonan, say yes, say yes!" Su Ying and Qingyan cheered from the sidelines, pushing the plot forward.

Xiao Ruonan's eyes reddened, but her face was full of happy smiles as she nodded excitedly.

Then, in front of everyone, Ning Zhiyuan put the diamond ring on her finger.

Everyone applauded.

Ning Zhiyuan was sweating profusely with nervousness, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably. Fortunately, the ring was firmly on Xiao Ruonan's finger, as if it had bound her to him and would never be separated again.

The two finally embraced.

Su Wen: Brother, it's finally over. I'm exhausted.

He gently touched Qingyan and whispered, "When did we become like this?"

He feigned ignorance, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Su Wen: Just wait, I planned this proposal banquet.

A sudden cell phone ring broke the harmony of the moment.

Xiao Shen went to the balcony to answer the call. Su Ying noticed that his expression was gradually darkening. As soon as he arrived, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"The old man has fainted, I have to go to the hospital now!"

"I'll go with you!" Su Ying grabbed her bag, and the two hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Xiao Ruonan looked worried, but she felt guilty that she couldn't do anything right now. Suddenly, a hand grasped hers. The other person's palm was broad, strong, and warm. She looked up and met those deep eyes, expressing her gratitude with her eyes.

"Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?" Ning Zhiyuan asked as soon as he left Su Wen's house.

Xiao Ruonan bit her lip, lost in thought, looking somewhat conflicted. Then she gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Forget it, the old man doesn't want to see me right now. Going there would only upset him. There are so many people here, one more won't make a difference!"

"Then let's go home!"

It was very cold, so Ning Zhiyuan took her hand and put it in his pocket.

hospital.

"Dad, you were perfectly fine, how could you suddenly faint? Please wake up, wake up and look at us..."

"Yes, Grandpa, Mom and I are so worried! Please don't scare us!"

Chen Wanru sat on the edge of the bed, sobbing softly. Xiao Jiayang chimed in, while the third wife and her husband stood aside, watching the mother and son's performance with disdain.

"The person is still alive and well, why are you crying?"

When Xiao Shen entered, he saw that the hospital bed was surrounded by people.

Lan Ruo had long disliked the eldest son's family, and now that someone had finally come along to say something that directly offended them, she seized the opportunity to say, "That's right, sister-in-law, Dad needs some peace and quiet right now, and what you're doing is disturbing his rest!"

Chen Wanru blushed as she was being talked about, but because Xiao Shen was there, she didn't dare to say anything.

"Fourth brother, you've come at the right time! Look, the old man has really scared us all this time. He just fainted out of nowhere and hasn't woken up yet!"

Xiao Shen walked to the bedside and checked on the old man. Seeing that his face was as white as paper, his expression darkened. He then turned around and asked, "What did the doctor say?" "After various tests, they didn't say anything serious. They guessed it might be because he hasn't been resting well lately!"

Lan Ruo felt that her statement was incomplete, so she added, "The other day, the old man told me that he hadn't been sleeping well. I advised him to go to the hospital, but he wouldn't go. Even when I asked the hospital to come, he wouldn't let me, saying that he was just getting old and that he would be fine in a while. Who knew that he would end up like this today!" "How come I didn't know about this?" Chen Wanru wanted to argue about everything.

Lan Ruo smiled smugly, "Then I don't know!" Perhaps the old man trusts me more.

In short, since it was due to lack of rest, it proved that there was nothing seriously wrong, so Xiao Shen was relieved. "Alright, there's no need to keep so many people here. You all go back first. I'll stay here tonight!"

Xiao Shen's words were tantamount to an imperial edict, and his elder brother and sister-in-law were no exception. No one dared to say anything, and they all left.

"Second Sister!" Chen Wanru always addressed Lan Ruo this way. "I've noticed that Grandpa has been spending a lot of time with you lately. What magic weapon have you been using?"

Chen Wanru asked this with a smile, but it was clear that she was implying that Lan Ruo was using underhanded tactics.

Lan Ruo wasn't one to back down, but she didn't get angry. She calmly replied, "Oh! Sister-in-law, what kind of magic weapon do I have? It's just that I was too introverted before, and the old man trusts me more now!"

As Lan Ruosheng left, Chen Wanru's face showed disdain.

"Mom, what did she say to you?"

"She wasn't just talking, she was clearly showing off. What's wrong with that? No matter what, I'm the eldest sister-in-law. She still has to bow down to me!"

Xiao Shen told Su Ying to go back and rest, but Su Ying refused, saying, "If you can stay with me, why can't I? Besides, just consider this as me talking to you here!"

Xiao Shen looked around, his brows furrowing even more. "No, you can't rest well here. You're pregnant, you need to take care of yourself, or the old man will blame me!"

"Cough cough... Fourth brother is right, hurry back and rest!"

"You're awake?" Xiao Shen and Su Ying looked at each other at the same time.

The old man impatiently lifted a corner of the blanket, "Covering me up with such a thick blanket, I'll suffocate even if I don't die!"

Xiao Shen chuckled, "Old man, you're quite the entertainer. Were you just watching the show?"

Hearing him say that, Su Ying finally understood that the old man had already woken up.

"Who told you all to be making such a racket here? It's so noisy! And you, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me up, my back is hurting from lying down like this!"

Su Ying: “…”

Xiao Shen: "..."

"Dad, are you feeling unwell? I'll call the doctor!"

The old man pointed at Xiao Shen and said, "Let the kid do the heavy work. You come over here and talk to me!"

Xiao Shen was so angry he laughed again. Fine, fine, he'd leave.

Su Ying poured hot water and brought it to the old man. "I heard from my second sister-in-law that you have severe insomnia. Why don't you see a doctor?"

The old man said helplessly, "I've seen it before, and they either want me to be hospitalized or prescribe a bunch of medicine. I don't want to stay in this cold place, and I don't want to be a walking pharmacy. I've lived to this age and made all sorts of preparations. If I can live, I will; if I can't, I won't force myself!"

The old man's acceptance of fate and his open-mindedness surprised Su Ying, and she also agreed with his words.

"Xiaoying, listen to me. Go back and get some sleep and rest. I'll hand this over to Lao Si. He's the pillar of the family. If he doesn't do this, who will? I've raised him all these years, it's time for him to repay me!"

Su Ying was amused and agreed with his insights.

When Xiao Shen came in, he asked the old man what he wanted to eat so that someone could prepare it for him, but the old man refused to eat this or that.

The couple exchanged a glance.

"Grandpa, how about some wontons? They're light, refreshing, and warming!" It'll also be a good opportunity for him to bond with Xiao Ruonan.

As soon as these words were spoken, the old man objected immediately, "No, I won't eat anything, I'll wait until I'm hungry!" He covered himself with the blanket and left his back to them.
