Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

Xie Siyu bit her lip, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, and nodded.

"Sisi believes in Aunt Xuxu."

Yan Xuxu continued to patiently guide him, "When Harry was trapped by the Philosopher's Stone, he overcame the challenge through courage and wisdom."

"Sisi is currently fighting the virus; she's a brave little warrior!"

As she spoke, she gently grasped Xie Siyu's small hand to look for veins.

The child is too thin.

Blood vessels are easy to find.

However, because it was covered with dense needle marks, so many that they had obscured the blood vessels.

It could have been done with just one injection.

Seeing those little hands, Yan Xuxu's eyes welled up with tears.

I couldn't bear to do it.

"Aunt Xuxu, I'm not afraid of pain anymore."

The child suddenly became sensible and comforted her instead.

Yan Xuxu, who had managed to control her emotions with great difficulty, almost broke down because of those words.

She forced a smile, suppressing the stinging sensation in her nose, and said, "Aunt Xuxu is going to start giving you acupuncture now."

The child in front of me is just too fragile.

Yan Xuxu held her hand very gently, afraid of hurting her.

The injection was administered slowly.

Yan Xuxu continued to tell her stories to help her distract herself.

Everyone was waiting for the child to cry.

But after a long time, the room remained silent, with only Yan Xuxu's gentle voice and Xie Siyu's even breathing.

She's asleep!

The two doctors at the scene were dumbfounded.

They tried everything to soothe the child all night, but couldn't calm him down.

As soon as Yan Xuxu arrived, the child stopped crying and fussing, and even slept peacefully.

Mu Nan exclaimed with delight, "Miss Yan really knows how to do things!"

Standing to the side, Jie Lanyuan's deep gaze swept over Yan Xuxu's gentle face.

He was also surprised when Sisi asked Yan Xuxu to come over.

Later, Mu Nan was asked to investigate the circumstances of that rescue, and that's when they learned what had happened.

He thought she disliked him.

She didn't like his children either.

Unexpectedly, she patiently coaxed Sisi and was even willing to tell her stories.

But was it just his imagination?

He also seemed to see heartache and pity in her eyes.

Yan Xuxu did not notice his gaze.

She sat up in bed, resuming her aloof demeanor. "After the IV drip, Sisi's fever will break soon. There's nothing else to worry about. I'll be going now."

"I send you."

Jie Lanyuan grabbed a suit jacket from the side, put it on, and followed behind her.

Yan Xuxu coldly refused, "No need, I'll drive myself."

After saying that, she stepped out of the room.

Suddenly, Sisi murmured in her sleep, "Mommy, don't go, don't leave Sisi..."

Yan Xuxu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

It was clearly not her name that was being called.

But her heartstrings were tugged hard, and she couldn't help but turn around.

In her sleep, Jie Siyu frowned, her expression revealing unease and urgency.

It looks just like it's trying to grab something.

The question that had been troubling Yan Xuxu finally escaped her lips: "The child misses her mother, so why not let her come and be with her?"

Xie Lanyuan didn't speak, but his gaze towards her was extremely complicated.

Yan Xuxu hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not interested in your private life. I just feel that what the child needs right now is perhaps her mother."

"Um."

He responded with a blank expression.

Yan Xuxu could tell that he didn't want to talk about this topic, so she didn't ask any more questions.

He glanced at Xie Siyu one last time, then turned and went downstairs with mixed feelings.

After she left, Mu Nan lowered her voice and asked, puzzled, "President Jie, why didn't you tell us that Miss Sisi is...?"

"There's no need for that."

Jie Lanyuan interrupted him, gazing at that slender figure, his eyes behind his glasses unfathomable.

He took a step forward, ready to follow, when his phone rang in his pocket.

He picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, narrowed his eyes, and hung up immediately.

The other party called Mu Nan's phone again.

Mu Nan reluctantly handed him the phone. "It's Madam."

Yan Xuxu realized she had forgotten her bag when she went downstairs. Just as she was about to go back upstairs, she heard Mu Nan say this.

His steps faltered.

lady?

Is she Jie Lanyuan's mother?

Perhaps because the villa was too quiet, a forceful voice came through the microphone, "I heard you abandoned Qingyi and left alone?"

Jie Lanyuan's tone was perfunctory, "Something came up at the company, and I need to go back and take care of it."

"Don't make excuses! I know you brought a female companion tonight. If she's just a fling, you're not allowed to contact her again after tonight. If you've developed feelings for her, break it off as soon as possible. The matriarch of the Xie family can only be Lin Qingyi."

Yan Xuxu gripped her cold fingertips.

Apart from Xie Lanyuan, she didn't encounter a single member of the Xie family tonight.

thing?

Does it refer to her?

She couldn't see Xie Lanyuan's expression, but she heard him say, "Mother is overthinking it. He's just an insignificant person, so why should you care?"

Insignificant people...

Yes.

If it weren't for her ability to save Xie Siyu, Xie Lanyuan would never have approached her.

The reason she was standing here was to retrieve the medical book.

Their relationship is purely based on mutual benefit; there is nothing else between them.

But why did hearing these words make her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar?

Then came Madam Xie's voice from behind, "You should spend more time on Lin Qingyi. Even if not for yourself, think of Sisi. She still needs her mother's love."

Yan Xuxu had no time to ponder the meaning of those words.

Without listening to what Jie Lanyuan said next, he quickened his pace and left the villa.

It was already 3 a.m. when I got home.

Shen Mingzhou still hasn't returned.

Yan Xuxu didn't care.

It's better that he doesn't come back; she's more comfortable on her own.

She was so tired that after tidying up a bit, she lay down on the bed and slept soundly.

She slept soundly until dawn the next day, when the nanny knocked on the door and she finally woke up.

"Madam, your husband sent a gift early this morning and asked me to give it to you personally."

Gift?

Yan Xuxu got out of bed and opened the door, and saw the nanny holding an exquisite gift box.

Out of curiosity, she took it in and opened it.

That was unexpected.

It turned out to be a limited edition Hermès bag.

It seems that Shen Mingzhou was nervous after the commotion at the banquet last night, which is why he tried to appease her by giving her a gift.

This bag costs at least six figures.

This time, Shen Mingzhou went all out.

Yan Xuxu accepted the gift without any qualms, washed up, ate breakfast, and went to the company.

Today happens to be Friday.

As previously agreed, she had to report the progress of the new technology to Xie Lanyuan in person.

Yan Xuxu planned to finish her work in Ming'an as soon as possible.

I'll go to the research institute first, and then go to the Xie Group in the afternoon.

Xiao An must be busy; she hasn't answered the phone.

Yan Xuxu went directly to the laboratory to find him.

Coincidentally, there wasn't a single person in the huge laboratory except for Su Wanqing.

It seems that falling in the shower last night was just an excuse to get Shen Mingzhou away.

Isn't everything alright?

Su Wanqing walked over and said in a feignedly weak voice, "Xuxu, you're not still angry, are you?"

"What happened last night was really just a misunderstanding."

Today, Su Wanqing was wearing a white business shirt with a deep V-neck, revealing a deep cleavage with her beautiful, full bust.

Yan Xuxu immediately noticed the hickeys on it.

Each one is deeper than the last.

Extending to the turbulent part, it truly makes one blush and their heart race.

As if deliberately letting her see more clearly, Su Wanqing even tossed aside her long hair, her face revealing no attempt to hide her provocation.

Yan Xuxu leaned forward and reached out to help her straighten her shirt.

"Stop pretending, it's pointless if you keep pretending."
