Chapter 367: As Long As She’s Happy

The Nan family’s current situation suddenly appeared in front of Murong Qiao, and she finally understood why Nan Xuan looked so weak.
Murong Qiao pursed her lips and shifted her gaze from her cell phone to Nan Xuan.
She didn’t know what was wrong with this person. His life was already like this, but he still cared about delivering food to her every day.
Nan Xuan didn’t look like he was about to wake up. Murong Qiao’s stomach growled twice, urging her to go to the kitchen.
She was not very talented in cooking. She originally wanted to order takeout, but considering that there was still a “patient”, Murong Qiao placed the ingredients according to the tutorial and chose the simplest porridge.
“Glug, glug—”
The rice cooker made a sound. Murong Qiao stared at the countdown displayed on the pot, her thoughts spinning.
She recalled the description in the information which said that Nan Xuan had become a different person.
She couldn’t tell if the other party had been agitated, but now that he had chosen to live with Nan Jin, he didn’t return to the Nan family to visit as often as he did.
This made Murong Qiao feel strange.
She lowered her eyes and smelled the fragrance of the porridge in the pot. For a moment, she couldn’t tell what she was feeling.
She didn’t feel much about the Nan family becoming like this. However, when she saw Nan Xuan, she couldn’t help but pity him.
Nan Kang had suffered a setback and couldn’t recover from it. He irresponsibly threw all the mess onto Nan Xuan. Nan Hao was still young and still had to go to school…
“You’re really something.” Murong Qiao cursed softly.
As a father, Nan Kang could be considered an eye-opener for her in terms of being useless.
While she was thinking, the porridge was ready.
The porridge grains were fragrant and soft, with the fresh fragrance of prawns. Murong Qiao scooped out two bowls.
It was impossible for her to take care of Nan Xuan carefully. Murong Qiao was already being kind by making a bowl of porridge for him.
She casually picked out some simple ingredients from the fridge to cook. She didn’t intend to let her stomach suffer.
Nan Xuan opened his eyes in a daze and was woken up by a faint sound outside the room.
He didn’t react in time. He subconsciously propped himself up and scanned his surroundings, but he felt even more confused.
The room was not something he was familiar with. The blanket smelled of light sunlight, and the warmth of it covering his body made him want to continue sleeping like this.
For a moment, he felt like he had returned to his childhood.
He’d returned to the time when his mother had not passed away yet. She would call his name gently and ask him to bring his siblings out to play. She would remind him not to be injured and smile at him.
However, when he saw Murong Qiao sitting in the living room, he suddenly sobered up and remembered what had happened previously.
“You’re awake?” Murong Qiao looked at him.
She pointed at the table casually. “The porridge is on the table. Drink it and leave.”
Murong Qiao’s cold attitude dispelled the last bit of warmth in Nan Xuan’s heart.
Rather, it was precisely this Little Sister who constantly reminded Nan Xuan how much of a bastard he was previously.
“…Alright,” Nan Xuan agreed in a hoarse voice.
Murong Qiao ignored him and continued typing on her laptop. Or rather, she didn’t want to have any interaction with Nan Xuan at all.
Nan Xuan moved gently, not wanting to disturb Murong Qiao. He sat quietly at the table and picked up the bowl of warm porridge to his mouth.
It was not an extreme delicacy, but the warm feeling in his stomach made Nan Xuan feel that the exhaustion of the past few days had been swept away.
This was the porridge that his Little Sister had personally cooked for him.
These words suddenly appeared in his heart, and his fingertips that were holding the bowl shrank, as if he could not cherish it anymore.
It was clearly just an ordinary bowl of seafood porridge, but Nan Xuan enjoyed it like a delicacy.
However, he had to finish the porridge eventually. When Nan Xuan slowly swallowed the last mouthful, he couldn’t help but look at his Little Sister sitting on the sofa.
“I won’t send you off.” Murong Qiao sensed his gaze and threw him a sentence.
Nan Xuan stopped in his tracks and pursed his lips for a long time without saying anything. He only nodded gently and stood up to walk towards the entrance, preparing to leave.
However, he subconsciously slowed down and looked at Murong Qiao uncontrollably. Even though he only saw the other party’s cold expression, Nan Xuan felt satisfied.
Although their relationship seemed to be stiff and without progress these few days, after he fainted today, Murong Qiao didn’t leave alone. Instead, she brought him home and even made porridge for him…
Could it be that he could also be a little selfish and think that Murong Qiao was actually not as cold to him as if they had really cut ties?
The corners of Nan Xuan’s lips curled up silently. He suddenly felt an unprecedentedly good mood.
He left silently and even closed the door gently when he left, afraid that he would disturb Murong Qiao.
Nan Xuan returned home with a smile and bumped into Nan Jin, who had already gotten off work.
“What are you doing?” Nan Jin sized him up and raised his eyebrows.
During this period of time, the two of them had been living together. Nan Jin couldn’t be clearer about Nan Xuan’s condition. Seeing Nan Xuan smiling so happily, Nan Jin couldn’t help but be puzzled.
Nan Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. “1 just feel that Qiaoqiao is very good as she is.”
“She’s growing up very well and living a happy life. She can take care of herself alone.” He couldn’t help but smile.
Nan Xuan told Nan Jin what had happened today. “Qiaoqiao lives in the Murong Family. At least she doesn’t have to worry about her life.”
“At least, she doesn’t have to suffer like us.” He smiled bitterly.
In the current situation of the Nan family, Nan Xuan felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat sometimes, let alone Murong Qiao.
Nan Jin listened to him in silence before saying, “As long as she lives a better life.”
Nan Jin only felt that the Nan family deserved their current situation.
He didn’t expect his Little Sister to pick up their relationship again. As long as she was doing well, it was enough to make him feel at ease.
“The Murong Family took good care of Qiaoqiao…” Nan Xuan suddenly sighed and smiled. “That’s true. As long as Qiaoqiao is happy, nothing else matters.”
His tone was relieved. Although it was sour and lonely because he couldn’t accompany his Little Sister, it contained the most blessings.
“Don’t bother her with the Nan family’s mess.” Nan Jin agreed.
They owed their Little Sister too much. The only thing they could do was probably watch her get better and better from afar and silently wish her well. That was already the best outcome.
The night sky quietly left the sky and gradually turned into the blue of the day and the scorching sun in the sky. It enveloped everyone with a temperature that burned their souls.
As for Huo Yichen, it was rare for him to return to the Huo Family at noon today because Huo I long said that he was looking for him.
However, when he returned home, he didn’t see the butler waiting for him. Instead, he saw Huo Xiuyuan standing in the living room with a faint smile and a dark expression.
“I should have known that it was you.” Huo Xiuyuan looked at him.
He had clearly hidden it well previously, but such a huge thing suddenly happened. It was difficult for Huo Xiuyuan not to think about it.
He looked at the calm Huo Yichen standing in front of him and couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart. He stepped forward and punched Huo Yichen’s nose ruthlessly.
Huo Yichen took a step back unhurriedly and received his punch. Without showing any weakness, he raised his leg and kicked the other party’s soft abdomen, causing Huo Xiuyuan to retreat in pain..
