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

Why isn't Sisi taking her medicine? Is it too bitter?

Yan Xuxu sat down by the bedside and touched her forehead; the fever had subsided.

Xie Siyu had been drinking medicine since childhood and had long since lost her sense of taste for it.

She deliberately refused to take the medicine because she wanted to see Yan Xuxu.

"I'd like Aunt Xuxu to feed me, is that okay?"

The child's eyes are innocent and bright, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Yan Xuxu could tell that Sisi liked her, and her heart softened. "Okay, but Sisi has to finish all the medicine."

Jie Siyu nodded vigorously.

As expected, Yan Xuxu fed her herself, and she obediently drank it sip after sip, finishing the medicine in less than five minutes.

After feeding her the last mouthful of medicinal soup, Yan Xuxu magically stuffed something into Jie Siyu's mouth.

"It's candy!"

Strawberry-flavored candy!

"It's so sweet!"

Jie Siyu, with a candy in her mouth, had a look of surprise and delight on her innocent face.

Yan Xuxu put down the soup bowl, patted her hair and smiled, "Sisi is great, she deserves to be rewarded."

Lin Huan gave her this candy this morning; she casually put it in her pocket, and it came in handy.

Unexpectedly, a small piece of candy could make Xie Siyu so happy.

I saw her smile.

Yan Xuxu's lips also curled up.

Xie Lanyuan, standing to the side, took in this scene without even realizing how tender his gaze was.

A warm and cozy atmosphere filled the air.

Mu Nan, with great foresight, asked the doctor and the nanny to leave, and then followed them out.

Only Yan Xuxu, Xie Siyu, and Xie Lanyuan remained in the room.

Just as Yan Xuxu was about to leave, she heard Xie Siyu say, "Aunt Xuxu, could you stay and keep me company a little longer?"

"Auntie has work to do, she can't today."

Xie Siyu lowered her head and remained silent.

Yan Xuxu could tell she was unhappy and felt sorry for her.

But considering that this is Jie Lanyuan's daughter, even if she needs company, it should be Miss Lin who comes, not her.

She steeled herself, stood up, and turned to leave.

Xie Lanyuan grasped her wrist, his deep, husky voice saying, "I'll take you home later."

Yan Xuxu understood his meaning; he wanted her to stay and keep his daughter company.

This time she didn't soften her stance. "Mr. Jie probably doesn't understand the situation. What the child longs for is his mother."

And she is not the mother of his child!

She's just an insignificant person!

As the two remained locked in a stalemate, Xie Siyu was heard sobbing softly, "Sisi doesn't have a mother..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xuxu's heartstrings trembled, and even her breathing tightened.

What does it mean to not have a mother?

Isn't Miss Lin Sisi's mother?

"Aunt Xuxu is just like the mother in my dreams. Can Aunt Xuxu be my mother?"

Xie Siyu raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, looking like a glass doll, helpless and fragile.

It was as if she would shatter if Yan Xuxu said "no".

Yan Xuxu couldn't bear to hurt her, so she said cautiously, "Aunt Xuxu has already been married. Your father will find you a better mother."

The light in Jie Siyu's eyes dimmed in an instant.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

It fell with a thud.

She disliked women who got close to her father.

They all pretended to be nice to her, just so they could marry her father.

But Aunt Xuxu is different.

She felt so warm.

It has the scent of a mother.

She likes her so much.

"Aunt Xuxu, can you come visit me often?"

Jie Siyu sniffed, her watery eyes filled with longing.

A voice inside her urged her to agree, and Yan Xuxu finally nodded, "Then Aunt Xuxu will spend some more time with Sisi later."

The child's beautiful eyes were instantly filled with starlight, and even his little face became radiant.

The next second, she cheered, "Yay!"

Jie Lanyuan was also surprised that Yan Xuxu would actually agree.

Seeing the two getting along so harmoniously, his cold face suddenly warmed up.

However, the harmonious atmosphere was fleeting.

Mu Nan appeared behind him and said in a low voice, "Mr. Xie, Miss Lin has arrived."

His expression shifted instantly, becoming far more sinister and ruthless than before.

He quickly turned around, closed the door, and left the room silently.

*

After Yan Xuxu coaxed Xie Siyu to sleep, she realized that he was no longer there.

As I came out of the room, I overheard the two nannies chatting.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Miss Sisi smile so happily. Miss Yan really knows how to handle things."

"Yes, Miss Sisi is so pitiful. She was born weak and sickly. She has to take medicine and get injections every day. She can't go to school or play like normal children. She can even get a fever if she just goes out and gets a little wind."

"Miss Sisi is always obedient. She wouldn't have run out on her own if she hadn't seen that kite. I don't know how that kite flew to the manor."

Kite?

So, was Xie Siyu's fever yesterday because she went out to watch kites?

A nanny was the first to see her and immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Yan Xuxu went downstairs, but still couldn't find Xie Lanyuan anywhere. She asked, "Where's President Xie?"

"Miss Lin has arrived. Mr. Xie has gone out with her," the nanny said.

It seems we don't need her here anymore.

Yan Xuxu picked up her bag and walked towards the door.

The two nannies assumed she was going to see Jie Lanyuan and didn't take it to heart, continuing their conversation.

"President Jie has never brought a woman back before. This Miss Yan seems to be someone special, and Miss Sisi likes her. She might soon become the mistress of the manor."

"What are you saying? She's just an ordinary doctor. Miss Lin is the daughter-in-law that Madam values. Madam invited Miss Lin here today so that Mr. Xie and Miss Lin could develop a relationship."

"That's true. As long as Miss Lin and Miss Sisi get along well, Miss Sisi will like her too."

"..."

Yes.

Jie Siyu was just a five-year-old child.

She likes whoever treats her well.

Even if Miss Lin is not her biological mother, as long as she puts in more effort in the future, feelings will naturally develop.

Why is she worrying about this?

Yan Xuxu didn't listen any further and quickened her pace to leave the villa.

Just as she was about to step out the door, she saw Jie Lanyuan and a woman walking towards her.

The woman was beautiful, wearing a beige dress. She was tall, had a gentle temperament, and exuded the air of a socialite.

If she wasn't mistaken, this must be Miss Lin.

The two men did not see her and continued to approach.

Lin Qingyi said with a sweet laugh, "Brother Lanyuan, thank you for taking the time to spend with me. I'm very happy today."

Her voice is very pleasant, the kind of gentle yet slightly reproachful broadcaster's voice, which is very attractive.

She knows how to act coquettishly towards men.

She must be quite good at coaxing children.

Jie Lanyuan put one hand in his pocket, his head down, revealing no emotion. After a long while, he finally responded, "Mm."

Yan Xuxu didn't want to have any contact with them and continued walking forward.

Unexpectedly, the heel of the shoe accidentally hit the iron gate with a loud 'bang,' attracting the attention of the two people.

Yan Xuxu felt a little embarrassed and turned to them, saying, "Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you two. Please continue your conversation."

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Lin Qingyi's voice came from behind, "Brother Lanyuan, who is she?"
