Xi Shaoqi wasn’t surprised; after all, the woman’s intelligence was well-known. She skipped grades during her studies, graduated with the highest honors at the youngest age for both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and since working at the hospital, she’s beco the youngest surgeon there. Many people from all over the country co seeking her because of her reputation. It’s no surprise that such a smart woman would guess his thoughts.
Xi Shaoqi wasn’t embarrassed or surprised; he simply nodded: "Yes, I’m here to talk to you about this matter. What exactly do you know?"
Lan Xinru first smiled mysteriously before continuing: "I hadn’t intended to hide anything from you all along. I was planning to tell you when I had the ti. Now that you’ve co to ask , it’s perfect timing. Actually, I only heard about this matter. I can’t confirm how true it is."
Upon hearing this, Xi Shaoqi furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Lan Xinru’s dark eyes gazed into the night as she continued with an eerie tone: "Back when I first ca to the hospital as an intern, I overheard an accidental conversation between two senior colleagues. I think that when you hear this, you might get so ideas. It’s exactly as you might be thinking now; the conversation was about the An Family. The gist is that the eldest son of the An Family is not their biological child, seemingly born to Xi Xilan with soone else. Years ago, she ca to the hospital to have the child removed. They even scheduled the ti but sohow canceled it later. That’s all I heard; I don’t know the specifics."
Xi Shaoqi nodded with furrowed brows: "There’s no smoke without fire. I estimate the truth of this matter is about fifty-fifty."
Lan Xinru also supported his view: "That’s exactly how it is. My thoughts are similar to yours. But what I’m more curious about now is how a person who supposedly died years ago could co back to life."
This question is likely puzzling everyone now.
Xi Shaoqi couldn’t explain it either: "I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ll get soone to investigate. I have a feeling that his return this ti is quite unusual." As for exactly how unusual, he couldn’t say.
There was always a feeling sothing would happen, yet not knowing exactly what made it hard to guard against.
Xi Shaoqi and Lan Xinru didn’t stay long on the rooftop and returned to the ward. Lin Mubai, who had been treated and bandaged, was sent to An Nan’s ward, and Lin Ze and Lan Yiqing had also arrived. The couple was troubled by so matters.
"We absolutely can’t let Mom and Dad know about the hospitalization of this young couple, or else the old folks will worry themselves sick."
Lan Yiqing’s concern was shared with Lin Ze deep down.
At this mont, the person lying in the hospital bed spoke up: "As for Mom and Dad, tell Grandpa and Grandma that Nannan and I went back to our previous apartnt? Then I’ll call Uncle Liang and Aunt Fu to co to take care of Nannan at the hospital. You both can co by when you have ti. If you co too often, Grandpa and Grandma might get suspicious."
It wasn’t the best solution, but Lin Ze and Lan Yiqing quickly nodded in agreent.
"This is the only way for now," Lan Yiqing said, her worried dark eyes resting on the still unconscious face of An Nan on the bed: "Ah, how did it co to this? Nannan’s grandfather is really too much. No matter what, she’s his granddaughter, and she’s pregnant now. Can’t he make so concession? After all, once the child is born, it will call him great-grandfather."
