104: Chapter 101: The City of Happiness, Encircling Her Alone_1 104: Chapter 101: The City of Happiness, Encircling Her Alone_1 Around five in the afternoon, Lu Yinchu received a call from his mother, saying his father would return home early.
If possible, she hoped he could bring the girl home first, to prevent his fatherâs icy old face from frightening the poor girl!
A smile tugged at the corner of Lu Yinchuâs mouth.
He replied to his mother, âMom, she might really get scared.
Letâs wait a few more days.â
Lu Yinchu explained, âMom, donât be too surprised.
I am aboutâ¦ten years older than her.
However, I guarantee you sheâs a good girl.
In the future, sheâll be a good wife, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter-in-lawâ¦â
Xia Zhen seemed slightly taken aback and didnât know what to say.
After clearing her throat, she asked, âSo sheâs twenty-two this year?â
Lu Yinchu entered the elevator, and Mo Yan wisely chose to remain silent and avoid looking at him.
Lu Yinchu said, âYes, twenty-two.
She just graduated this year from the Chinese Department of H University.
Her high-scoring thesis has already been passed.
Sheâs always been an exemplary student with a good character!â
He paused, then said, âMom, I believe you will like her!â
Xia Zhen seemed worried.
The girl was unexpectedly so young, but she trusted that her son wouldnât act impulsively.
However, she askedâ¦
âWhat about her parents?
Do they have no objections to youâ¦being so much older than her?â
Lu Yinchu moved his lips slightly, then said, âHer uncle and maternal grandmother live in H City.
For some reasons, I havenât been able to see her parents yet, butâ¦â
He arched his eyebrows and continued, his voice slightly defiant, ââ¦Mom, donât you trust your son?â
Hearing this, Xia Zhen reprimanded, âWhat are you talking about?
I know my sonâs character like the back of my hand.
I think any girl marrying my son will surely experience a lifetime of happiness!â
Lu Yinchu chuckled.
âMom, thatâs not quite right,â he said.
âIncorrect?â
Lu Yinchu looked into the enigmatic office corridor not far away, a smile curving at the corner of his lips, âYes, incorrect.
Because the only person I want to bestow happiness upon is her and her alone!â
As for other women, marrying him would just mean material wealth but spiritual emptiness!
Thankfully, he met her again!
Hearing this from her son, Xia Zhen understood.
He was deeply in love this time.
She believed in her heart that even if there was any difficulty, he would definitely handle it well!
Only then, she said, âThen tell me, when can you bring her to meet your grandparents and me?â
âDonât worry, it wonât be long!â
After saying this, he bid farewell to Xia Zhen, ended the call, Mo Yan then pressed the number â1,â and the elevator slowly descended.
Mo Yan pursed his lips, asked him, âMr.
Lu, are we heading to the Lu Family orâ¦?â
âTo the hospital!â the man responded coldly.
â¦
When Lu Yinchu arrived at the hospital, Nanxi was taking a walk in the corridor.
She felt the ward was too stuffy and wanted to go downstairs, but the nurse wouldnât allow it!
Resigned to her situation, she could only stroll in this corridor!
Nanxi felt that other than some remaining fatigue, she was otherwise perfectly fine.
She wanted to be discharged from the hospital, but it wasnât that simple!
She sighed.
At twenty-two years old and just about to graduate from university, everything was supposed to be bright and serene.
She was filled with great confidence to embrace her future!
But lately, negative emotions such as confusion and hesitation were becoming clearer and more profound than her goals and dreams!
Why?
After wandering for awhile, since this was the VIP ward floor and it was empty, there was nothing fun to see, so she decided to return to her ward!
Footsteps echoed from behind her.
She assumed it was the doctors or nurses and didnât pay much attention.
But then she heard a manâs voice laced with anger, âHow did you get out here?â
Eh?
Nanxi hesitated and didnât register what had happened when she was suddenly swept off her feetâ
Familiar voice!
Familiar minty scent!
Andâ¦the familiar warmthâ¦
It wasâ¦Lu Yinchu!
Nanxi was somewhat uncomfortable.
Granted, it wasnât her first time being held by Lu Yinchu, but she wasnât quite used to it.
Unconsciously, she shifted in his armsâ¦
Little did she know, this movement ignited a different kind of fire within the man.
âUmmâ¦Mr.
Lu, I amâ¦already better!â
She meant, she could walk on her own, please put her down!
(â¬ï¼¿â¬)
Lu Yinchu ignored her, carrying her straight towards her ward.
Mo Yan remained respectfully silent.
When they reached the ward entrance, he decisively turned and left to find Gui Xi!
Lu Yinchu placed Nanxi on the bed.
With the soft small body suddenly out of his arms, he felt a tiny twinge of regret.
But his face remained expressionless!
âI called Gui Xi on the way here.
You can be discharged tomorrow!â
The indifferent tone of his voice suggested that the previous intimate princess-carry meant as little to him as a mundane, emotionless ceremony!
Maybe she had been daydreaming!
But upon hearing that she could be discharged tomorrow, Nanxi brightened instantly.
Her eyes seemed to sparkle, and she couldnât help but exclaim with excitement, âThatâs great!â
Lu Yinchu nodded, gave her another glance, and then asked, âDid you not sleep well last night?â
âHuh?â Nanxi was confused.
She reached out to touch her face, wondering if she had the words âdidnât sleep wellâ written on her face.
âYour eyes are swollenâ¦â He seemed to think of another possibility why her eyes were swollen, squinting, ââ¦were you crying?â
Nanxi bit her lip, suddenly at a loss for words.
Had she cried?
She truly had cried!
But all of this had nothing to do with Lu Yinchu!
Nanxi responded, âNo, it was probably becauseâ¦I didnât sleep well last night!â
The door was pushed open, and Gui Xi came in with two nurses, looking quite cheerful.
Mo Yan stayed outside and did not come in!
Gui Xi glanced at his wristwatch, raised an eyebrow towards Lu Yinchu, âYou came five minutes earlier than yesterday!â
Lu Yinchu ignored him, turning his gaze towards the two nurses carrying trays of intravenous fluid and drips.
A flicker flashed in his eyes.
Gui Xi looked towards Nanxi, âYou need another round of fluid infusion.
But rest assured, this will be the last time.
You can be discharged tomorrow morning!â
Nanxi gave a bitter smile, raised her hand, and rolled up her sleeve, ready for the infusion!
Lu Yinchu looked at her bare arm.
Her wrist was bruised at the vein and contrasted sharply with her fair skin.
Gui Xi walked over to disinfect the area with iodine.
Then he picked up the syringe, ready to make the punctureâ¦
Before he could even start, Nanxiâs eyebrows were already furrowed, and her eyes were shut.
It was clear she was afraid, but she did not pull her hand back.
She was afraid, yet brave!
Suddenly, her arm was pulled away.
Gui Xi was taken aback and turned to the man next to him, âWhatâs wrong?â
The pain didnât come.
Startled, Nanxi opened her eyes, and found Lu Yinchu holding Gui Xiâs wrist, seemingly to stop him.
Their eyes metâ¦
Lu Yinchu moved his lips, then said, ââ¦can we not use needles?â
