Nie Canghao carried Xiaoyu back to the ward and saw that the lights in the room had been turned off. An Ran was sitting alone on the sofa in front of the window, staring out the window in a daze.
He didn't turn on the light, and walked straight over, avoiding her injured left hand, and put Xiaoyu into her arms.
An Ran hugged Xiaoyu and kissed the child's cute little face.
A family of three sat in front of the window with the lights out, staring at each other.
"Lege promised to release Yan Liang, and he should be able to arrive at the port city tomorrow." Nie Canghao didn't care about Yan Liang's life or death, but An Ran did.
As long as she cares about it, he will use it to please her.
An Ran was indeed attracted by the news and was no longer so depressed. "Really? Did he agree to let Lan Yue go!"
"Ahao will definitely be able to rescue Lan Yue." Nie Canghao comforted her.
An Ran nodded and said, "I hope so."
She turned her gaze to the window again, and outside was a sea of lights.
The population density of the port city is higher than that of the imperial capital, the buildings are denser, and light pollution is extremely serious.
An Ran thought for a long time before remembering her original intention of coming to Hong Kong City.
In fact, she was not here to help Lu Renjie start a company, but to avoid Nie Canghao.
She thought that Nie Canghao would never bother to set foot in the enemy's hometown, so he could at least allow her to hide in peace.
It's a pity that not long after she was quiet, he was like a piece of dog-skin plaster that could never be removed, and he followed her shamelessly with the child in his arms.
"What are you thinking about?" Nie Canghao asked warmly, looking at her lonely face.
An Ran lowered his eyes to the index finger of his right hand held by Xiaoyu, and said softly: "I was thinking...how to play the instrument if my left hand is disabled."
"I will definitely find the best orthopedic surgeon to help you cure it without leaving any sequelae." Nie Canghao stretched out his big hand and wrapped both of his mother's hands into his warm palm.
An Ran was a little dazed, and then smiled bitterly: "I hope it can be cured! After all, Bai Ling's ghostly appearance at the beginning was completely transformed after you found a way to cure it."
Nie Canghao felt embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he admitted in a shameful voice: "It's because I don't know people well, and I have caused trouble to you two."
"I just want to find a place where I can't see you and live a quiet life for a few days. Why is it so difficult!" An Ran sighed softly.
Her tone was not intense, but every word was like a ruthless sharp knife piercing the heart of the man next to her.
He lowered his eyes and said softly for a long time: "This is the last time! I won't give her any chance to hurt you two!"
An Ran finally turned around and looked at him.
With a somewhat sarcastic smile in her clear eyes, she shook her left hand wrapped like a rice dumpling at the man.
"I didn't get stepped on by you last time, but this time I finally got my finger broken thanks to the rotten peach blossoms you brought me!"
Nie Canghao grabbed her injured left wrist and pulled it in front of him to look at it carefully.
"What are you going to do?" An Ran was not afraid, just curious.
He told her seriously: "When I catch Bai Ling, I will have her five fingers on her left hand broken off to avenge you!"
An Ran broke away from his big hand and was very disdainful of his promise: "Tell me again when you do it!"
Her eyes turned to Xiaoyu, and she either looked out the window or refused to look at him again.
Someone whom she didn't want to see silently stayed with her and the child, taking care of her mother and daughter carefully, acting as both a nanny and a bodyguard.
When Xiaoyu fell asleep, he tried to communicate with her:
"What happened yesterday was too dangerous. If I had arrived a moment late, or if Long Jun had not pressed the siren in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Nie Canghao looked at her profile and discussed with her in a warm voice: "For the sake of safety, after meeting Yan Liang tomorrow, we might as well return to the imperial capital together."
An Ran thought for a moment and said, "You take Xiaoyu back first."
"How could I leave you here by yourself, not to mention that your finger is injured and needs my care." He said, stood up and poured a glass of honey water for her.
An Ran thought of how she would prepare a glass of honey water for him when he was drunk in the past.
Maybe in his opinion, this is taking care of the other person!
Now, he is also taking care of her.
An Ran stubbornly ignored the man's solicitude and said coldly: "I don't like drinking these sweet things."
Nie Canghao immediately stood up and changed the mineral water for her.
He put a straw in the cup and held it up to her mouth.
An Ran still refused to drink.
"What do you want?" the man begged her in a low voice.
"Keep all your promises and come talk to me again!" An Ran glared at him, got up and went back to bed to sleep.
Oh, if she continues to believe his nonsense, she will be completely hopeless!
Country d, northern mining area, eleven o'clock in the evening.
Blue Moon has fallen asleep.
Even these days when Reg was away, she always slept on the sofa.
It wasn't entirely to avoid suspicion, but because Reg's bed was filled with a smell similar to Chilin, and she was afraid that she would get confused if she lay on it.
She always compares Reg with Chilin from time to time, which is outrageous enough.
If she slept on Reg's bed again, she might become even more dizzy.
In order to keep a clear head, she insisted on sleeping on the sofa.
When Reg came back, Lan Yue noticed it almost immediately, but she turned over and continued to sleep.
The light in the bedroom was turned on, and although Reg's footsteps were so gentle, she could hardly hear them.
But she still felt his approaching breath.
She opened her eyes and saw Reg's handsome face enlarged close at hand.
The man let out a low chuckle, leaned close to her ear, and breathed softly in a mischievous manner: "If you continue to pretend to be asleep, I will kiss you."
Lan Yue couldn't accept such ambiguity, so she kept a little distance. "You've been drinking."
"Drink a little." Reg sat down next to her and slowly touched her slender waist with his big hands.
Lan Yue's whole body suddenly stiffened, and she felt very uncomfortable. "You have been tired from traveling and traveling, so you should rest early."
"You stay with me." Reg's big hand became more dishonest and got under her clothes.
"Don't do this!" Lan Yue held down the troublesome big hand and looked at him pleadingly.
Reg frowned slightly and reminded her: "You agreed to be my woman in front of everyone today!"
Lan Yue avoided his burning eyes and said perfunctorily: "When Yan Liang and An Ran make a video call to me together, I will... promise you again."
This is a quid pro quo.
Although she knew that if Reg didn't buy it, there was nothing she could do against him.
Reg narrowed his eyes and directly brought a notebook over for her to read.
Lan Yue wasn't sure what it was for a while, until he opened it and put it in front of her.
Country d uses Chinese characters and its common language is Chinese.
Legend has it that three hundred years ago, this land was integrated with the country, and later an independent government was established.
Lan Yue took a closer look and saw that it was the divorce certificate of Reg and Bai Ling.
"When did you divorce Bai Ling?" She was very surprised.
Reg's answer surprised her even more: "Tonight."
"The divorce certificate was issued tonight!" Lan Yue seriously suspected that it was a printed matter issued by a forgery dealer.
"I specially sent someone to invite the person in charge of divorce procedures and asked them to work overtime to complete the task."
Reg looks relaxed and at ease, finally single again!
Lan Yue expressed doubts: "Are there any government agencies here?"
The northern part of country D, which covers hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, has been in a turbulent state of warlord warfare for hundreds of years. The only area controlled by the government is the southern part.
There is no need for a department responsible for marriage or divorce to exist.
Because there is no need for a marriage certificate here.
But what Reg said surprised Lan Yue: "It doesn't exist in other places, but I have it here anyway! There are also courts and prisons! Don't think there is no king's law here."
Lan Yue understood.
No wonder this guy can invite divorce formalities staff to his home to work overtime late at night. It turns out that those staff members are paid by his family.
"Don't sleep on the sofa tonight." Reg became single again and became more confident. "You are my woman and you should sleep with me."
Lan Yue's beautiful eyes flashed and she changed the subject: "You have divorced Bai Ling! Will she still stay with you in the future?"
Lan Yue's question made Reg a little embarrassed, and he thought about it for a while.
"Bai Ling and I were originally just in the name of husband and wife, not in reality! She has now recovered and has dissolved the marriage without my care."
"But after all, she was kind to me in the past, so it's not easy to burn bridges. Let her stay here for the time being!"
"Of course I will let her move out, and I will never let her disturb our lives again."
Reg has arranged all these things.
But he still couldn't drive Bai Ling away cruelly, after all, Nie Canghao was waiting to settle the score with her!
Lan Yue nodded and said softly: "I can understand your approach."
Reg couldn't help but feel happy when he saw her saying such considerate words, and he fell in love with her even more.
"Let's go back to bed and lie down and talk! The sofa is too narrow." He looked at her with a deep look in his eyes and his voice was a little hoarse.
Looking at his hot and dangerous eyes, Lan Yue seriously doubted - if they really lay in bed, could they still chat?
