Two days later was the day Grandpa An planned to be discharged from the hospital.
Nan Yan also intended to temporarily return to the old house with Grandpa An.
She packed a suitcase with a few changes of clothes, school supplies, and her laptop, leaving the rest of her things behind.
With her suitcase in hand and her laptop on her back, Nan Yan opened the door.
Soon, she saw Qin Lu outside the door, looking like he was waiting specifically for her.
“Brother, aren’t you busy?”
He sent her to school every day, picked her up after school, seemingly acting as her personal chauffeur every day.
However, Nan Yan knew that Qin Lu had important matters to attend to in Jincheng.
She had also noticed that he often used his laptop in the car to handle work.
He shouldn’t have so much free time.
“Even if I’m busy, I have time to send a little friend. Come on, let’s go pick up your grandpa from the hospital.”
Naturally, Qin Lu took the suitcase from her hands, then held her free hand and led her towards the elevator.
This time, Wu Yue wasn’t around; he was sent to handle other matters, so Qin Lu was driving.
Nan Yan stood by the car, watching Qin Lu stuff her 18-inch suitcase into the trunk and then take her backpack off her shoulder, placing them together.
Closing the trunk, Qin Lu’s palm touched the top of Nan Yan’s head. “Yan Yan, get in the car.”
“Okay.”
Nan Yan pulled his hand down and went directly to the passenger’s seat, opening the car door and getting in.
As soon as she fastened her seatbelt, an arm extended in front of her.
In the distinguished man’s hand was a lollipop. “Little friend, have some candy.”
The low, husky voice held a faint trace of indulgence.
Nan Yan was momentarily taken aback, raising her gaze to his excessively handsome face. Her heart raced, uncontrollably accelerating.
Being enticed like this every day, even if her heart were made of stone, it wouldn’t be able to resist!
And she wasn’t really eighteen in terms of her mental age. This forbidden age…
“Don’t like this flavor?” Qin Lu noticed she didn’t take it, thinking she didn’t like lychee flavor, “There’s also orange flavor, would you like to switch?”
“I like it.” Nan Yan suppressed her emotions, took the lychee-flavored lollipop from his hand, unwrapped it in a couple of motions, and put it in her mouth.
“Thank you, brother-
With something in her mouth, her voice was slightly muffled and soft, as if she were pouting coquettishly.
Qin Lu’s eyes held a faint hint of amusement as he watched the way the little one’s mouth puffed up from the candy, giving her a playful appearance.
Suddenly, he lifted his hand and pinched her cheek.
Nan Yan’s rosy lips pouted out from the pinch.
She gave him a speechless look: Is he being childish or not?
Qin Lu calmly averted his gaze and resumed driving.
In the hospital, aside from An Xiran and An Muyao, the rest of the An family were waiting outside the ward.
When Lu Lehua saw Nan Yan and Qin Lu approaching, a shadow of darkness crossed her eyes. She stood up and was about to walk over to them.
An Yaoqing grabbed her arm and whispered, “Remember, Nan Yan is our daughter. Be polite when you talk to her.”
“I know.” Lu Lehua nodded faintly, then pushed his hand away and walked to Nan Yan’s side.
“Nan Yan, Mom wants to talk to you.”
Lu Lehua never thought she was doing anything wrong.
She was her mother, the one who gave her life.
Just based on this, she believed she could demand anything from Nan Yan.
And Nan Yan couldn’t refuse.
That’s how she thought, so she believed that there was no problem with talking to Nan Yan about Muyao.
Nan Yan looked at her with detachment, “Madam An, it seems there’s not much to talk about between us.”
The title ‘Madam An’ made Lu Lehua’s expression stiffen again.
She hadn’t cared about the title before, but since learning the truth, she actually wanted to mend her relationship with Nan Yan.
She thought that by lowering her status, Nan Yan would be grateful.
However, reality forced her to realize that the enmity between them couldn’t be resolved with a couple of conciliatory words.
Suppressing her impatience, Lu Lehua spoke kindly, “Nan Yan, I am your mother!”
Nan Yan raised a cool eyebrow and mocked, “Aren’t you An Muyao’s mother?
When did you become related to me again?”
Lu Lehua clenched her fist tightly, her expression almost breaking.
“Nan Yan, don’t speak harshly to your mother. You’re my biological daughter.
We are mother and daughter!”
Nan Yan coldly reminded her, “You said it yourself before, that you wanted to sever our relationship. Your memory can’t be that bad. Did you forget so quickly?”
“You…” Lu Lehua’s chest ached from anger. She glared, unable to utter a word.
Nan Yan’s uncooperativeness left her no way to communicate normally with her, and she had no way to bring up the matter of forgiving An Muyao.
“Could you please move aside, Madam An? I want to go see my grandfather.”
Nan Yan’s eyes were filled with impatience, her gaze emitting a chilling intent that left Lu Lehua feeling chilled to the bone.
This rebellious daughter of hers didn’t see her as a mother at all!
What daughter would treat her mother with such an attitude?
Lu Lehua was so infuriated that she reached out to grab her.
“Don’t leave.”
Just as Nan Yan was trying to dodge Lu Lehua’s hand, the nearby Qin Lu took action.
He blocked Lu Lehua’s hand and spoke with cold and unrelenting tone, “Madam An, has your hearing failed you?”
Lu Lehua gritted her teeth, almost losing control.
But when she met Qin Lu’s cold and ruthless expression, her anxiety immediately waned.
Awkwardly, she pulled back her hand and turned her head down. She walked back to An Yaoqing’s side.
However, Nan Yan held onto Qin Lu’s hand, reprimanding him unhappily, “Big brother, could you at least consider your position as CEO? I can handle these small matters myself. Next time, don’t interfere.”
Qin Lu’s alluring Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. Seeing her slightly displeased expression, he responded with a low chuckle, “Alright.”
Ignoring the An family members who were watching her, Nan Yan said directly, “Big brother, let’s go see Grandfather.”
“Ok.”
She held Qin Lu’s hand, walking past the An family members as if no one else was there, and went straight to the ward.
Raising her hand, she knocked on the door, and soon, Tian Yi came to open it.
“Miss Nan! Mr. Qin, come in quickly. Grandpa has been talking about you for a while!”
With a smile, Tian Yi welcomed them into the ward.
Meanwhile, the rejected An Yaoqing and the others had unsightly expressions.
Grandpa was really going too far!
They had been waiting here for so long, arriving early, yet they weren’t allowed to enter.
But when Nan Yan arrived, she was let in right away?
How could they treat them so differently!
As Tian Yi was about to close the door, An Zhici stopped it, politely asking, “Uncle Tian, we are also here to see Grandpa. Can you please ask again if he’s willing to let us in?”
“Alright, I’ll go ask again. Young Master, please wait a moment.”
Tian Yi responded courteously and then closed the door, returning to the ward.
Nan Yan and Qin Lu approached Grandpa An’s bedside.
“Grandpa, how are you feeling today?”
