Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

Zhu Guoan frowned: "What good will it do her to be unable to stand up?"

Chen Yuhong continued her analysis, "Of course there are benefits. She cured Zhou Yanchen so badly that he can no longer stand up, so she can stay here as a nanny. Over time, feelings will develop. Now Yanchen has developed feelings for her. She's a woman with a son. If Zhou Yanchen can stand up again, will she still be good enough for him?"

As she spoke, Chen Yuhong pursed her lips, "Don't be fooled by Jin Aiyun and her husband's fondness for Lu Yan. If her son really gets back on his feet, she definitely won't agree to Lu Yan marrying him."

Zhu Guoan pursed his lips. His wife was making a fuss over her old habit again, always overcomplicating simple things. He regretted not telling her about it.

Zhu Jingru sat quietly to the side and listened. Although he also suspected that Lu Yan had ulterior motives, as long as Zhou Yanchen could stand up, he didn't care what she was thinking.

If Zhou Yanchen can stand up, everyone will be happy. Even if he can't stand up, it's just standing still. Letting Zhou Yanchen see Lu Yan's true colors is also a good thing.

Lu Yan was completely unaware of Chen Yuhong and Zhu Jingru's thoughts, and began to think about how to quickly and effectively help Zhou Yanchen stand up.

She hopes that Zhou Yanchen can accompany her during next year's college entrance examination.

I fell asleep while thinking about it.

Zhou Yanchen slept fitfully and restlessly that night. One moment he was experiencing his first time flying a plane, and the next he was flying a fighter jet on a mission. Then, he was engulfed by a raging fire.

He sat in the cockpit of the plane, watching helplessly as the fire grew larger and larger, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, determined to devour him.

He closed his eyes in despair, awaiting death.

Suddenly, a familiar fragrance dispelled the thick smoke around him, and Zhou Yanchen felt much easier to breathe.

He slowly opened his eyes, and before he could see who it was, he felt a soft little hand holding his hand.

Then, he saw the face that haunted his dreams.

Lu Yan tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, I'm here."

He was terrified, shoved her away, and shouted, "Run!"

She is still young, and she has a son; he cannot be a burden to her.

Lu Yan put her hands on her hips, pouted angrily, and said, "Zhou Yanchen, you coward!"

This wasn't the first time Lu Yan had called him a coward, and this time he didn't deny it.

He was afraid she would marry someone else, but he was even more afraid she would die with him.

Zhou Yan said in a cold voice, "You can leave. I don't need you."

After saying that, Zhou Yanchen closed his eyes.

Zhou Yanchen thought she was leaving, but the next second, Lu Yan's soft and sweet body hugged him.

He slowly opened his eyes and found that the raging fire around him had disappeared at some point. He looked up and saw the azure sky.

When Zhou Yanchen woke up in the morning, he still found it unbelievable.

He has had this dream countless times since he was injured.

He would wake up every time a fire burned him.

But this time, because of Lu Yan, the ending was different.

He raised his hand to rub his brows, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The weather was nice today. After Lu Yan finished eating, she went to move the stove. When Zhou Jianguo saw this, he quickly went over and took the stove from her, saying, "Let me do it, let me do it."

Lu Yan chuckled, "Chief, you're putting a lot of pressure on me and making me very uncomfortable."

It's estimated that Zhou Jianguo has never been this careful with anyone in his life except for Jin Aiyun and Zhou Nuannuan.

For the sake of his son, he's accommodating this younger generation.

Lu Yan looked serious. "Chief, I'm not made of porcelain. This kind of small job is nothing to me."

She'd done even heavier jobs than this, but she didn't say it; it would sound like she was trying to gain sympathy, which isn't her style.

Zhou Yanchen looked at Lu Yan with a serious expression. "Little Lu, I apologize again for secretly investigating you before. I didn't respect you."

This apology was noticeably more serious than the last one.

Lu Yan licked her lips and said softly, "Chief, to be honest with you, when I found out that you were secretly investigating me that day, I was standing at the door in the middle of the night feeling like I was floating. It's because you and Auntie have been so good to me, especially Auntie. Before I met you, no one had ever been so good to me. So when I found out, I couldn't accept it. But after you explained it to me the next day, I felt relieved."

Zhou Yanchen was Zhou Jianguo's favorite son. It was perfectly normal for his parents to investigate a woman who had fallen in love with him.

This is similar to how, after a blind date, if both parties are interested in each other, their parents start inquiring about the character of the man and woman.

This is about protecting one's own child from risks.

Zhou Jianguo smiled knowingly, "Now I finally understand why my clueless son likes you."

It wasn't because Lu Yan was beautiful, but because of her attitude towards people and things.

She is not pedantic, does not get stuck on details, is not pretentious, is insightful, neither arrogant nor humble, and is also capable. Even the most experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors in their fifties or sixties at the Beijing North People's Hospital may not be as skilled as her, yet she never boasts about it.

Lu Yan smiled slightly. "Chief, since you've brought this up, I also have something to say to you. If I cure Mr. Zhou and his feelings for me remain unchanged, I hope you can support us."

Lu Yan knew that saying this sounded somewhat despicable, but she was determined to fight for herself whenever possible.

Despite Zhou Jianguo's apparent fear of Jin Aiyun, she knows that he is the most authoritative person in the family.

This family doesn't just consist of Zhou Yanxing and his family. To put it more closely, there are Zhou Yanchen's eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, and further afield, their relatives and friends.

Now that Zhou Yanchen is in a wheelchair, outsiders already feel that she is not good enough for him. Once Zhou Yanchen stands up, those outsiders will probably feel even more that she is not good enough for him.

At that time, Zhou Jianguo's support will be very important.

Lu Yan: "Of course, if Mr. Zhou doesn't like me anymore at that time, please also announce to the public that you have recognized me as your goddaughter."

If she couldn't have Zhou Yanchen, then she would become his sister. In short, she had to hold onto this relationship with the Zhou family tightly.

Zhou Jianguo frowned. "Xiao Lu, Yan Chen isn't that kind of person. If he changes his mind, he's not my son!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan chuckled softly, but there was no hint of amusement in her eyes.

"Sir, nothing is absolute in this world. Perhaps I won't have feelings for Mr. Zhou anymore in a year?"

She can't even rely on blood ties, so how could she possibly believe in illusory love?

But she really liked the saying, "Feelings come from free will, and there's no regret afterward."

No matter what the future holds, even if she and Zhou Yanchen don't have a good outcome, she will not regret healing Zhou Yanchen's leg.

As Zhao Jianzhong said, it is not easy for the country to train an outstanding air force officer. Zhou Yanchen should not be confined to this small courtyard. He belongs to the country and to the blue sky. That is where he should be.
