Nan Yuesheng’s face was as pale as paper, yet she still managed a smile as radiant as a blossoming flower. "There’s no need for you to worry about that. At my young age, finding a man is just a matter of minutes, isn’t it?"
"I believe that for Lady Nan with her beauty, this is certainly a piece of cake," Bai Sha said with a cryptic smile playing on her lips.
Just at that moment, the door was pushed open.
To her surprise, Nan Yuesheng saw Xu Mohan and Shan Langyuan, who should have remained incognito, enter together from outside.
The pair had stepped out earlier, which Gu Lili and Long Yubei had already witnessed.
Xu Mohan was holding a bouquet of roses in his hands, while Shan Langyuan held a bouquet of lilies.
"Seventh Brother, Third Brother and I bought flowers at the florist in front of the hospital. The lilies are for Seventh Sister-in-law, the roses are for Third Sister-in-law," Shan Langyuan said, placing the lilies on the table. Chapters fırst released on novelꞁire.net
Xu Mohan, on the other hand, offered the roses to Nan Yuesheng, "Sheng’er, we haven’t known each other for long. I was the one who saved you when you held Ningyi and jumped into the river. At that moment, I thought a woman who seeks death with her child must have lost all hope for this world, feeling like she can’t go on. I’m willing to be your child’s father and give you a home. Would you be willing?"
Tears brimmed in Nan Yuesheng’s eyes. She knew Xu Mohan was putting on a show, trying to get her out of a tight spot, but she was moved nonetheless.
Mo Lingqi and Bai Sha, who initially froze in shock at the sight of two handsome men in traditional attire, assuming they had just come from a filming set, were now in a different state of mind.
After Xu Mohan handed the roses to Nan Yuesheng and made his speech, Mo Lingqi felt an inexplicable sharp pang in her heart.
Bai Sha, meanwhile, was fixated on Xu Mohan, feeling uncomfortable. Even though such an outcome was universally pleasing, she couldn’t help but wonder if this icy but good-looking man had his brain kicked by a donkey—why would he want a ’second-hand’ woman who already had a child?
What kind of aesthetic is that?!
And with Xu Mohan’s looks overshadowing Mo Lingqi, she felt even less pleased.
"Mr. Long, are these two actors?" Bai Sha inquired.
"No," Long Yubei introduced, "This is my Third Brother, Xu Mohan, and he is my Tenth Brother, Shan Langyuan."
"I thought you only had two sisters?" Mo Lingqi looked at his profile, "You also have brothers?"
Long Yubei gave a perfect explanation that was actually a lie, "They’re also my sworn brothers, so I have quite a few brothers."
"You’ve taken up a master? What are you studying?"
Faced with Bai Sha’s digging questions, Long Yubei deeply understood the phrase: one lie leads to many others in an attempt to cover it up.
"I thought you were from a historical drama crew or something. Although long hair makes a person look handsome, wearing traditional clothes with long hair in such hot weather must be really hot, right?"
"Not at all," Shan Langyuan answered with a grin, "We’re used to it. It doesn’t feel hot to us at all."
"Could it be that you grew up in the mountains?" Bai Sha kept pressing, her curiosity unsated.
"That’s not the case, but we do normally enjoy the tranquility of nature, the mountains and waters—such serene and beautiful environments." Shan Langyuan looked toward Nan Yuesheng, "Third Sister-in-law, you’ve made the right choice following my Third Brother. He has so much money he can’t spend it all, owns loads of land, and has never had a girlfriend from childhood to adulthood. You’re the very first one. Where else can you find such a man? Third Sister-in-law, you should marry my Third Brother as soon as possible, and give birth to a few more nieces and nephews for me—I’ll give you a ten million ’red envelope’ as a gift."
