Director Jiang heard from the nurse that the youngest daughter of the Gu Family had arrived, and it seemed there was an argument.
However, Director Jiang was in the middle of attending to a patient. After the patient left, Jia Sufen hurried over, only to see Gu Hai and Fang Yue arguing in the hospital room, with no sign of the Gu Family’s youngest daughter.
The nurse quietly responded, "Director, I wasn’t lying, I really saw her. The youngest daughter of the Gu Family is incredibly beautiful."
"It’s fine, I was just curious," Director Jiang patted the nurse on the shoulder and returned to her office.
After a busy morning, she lay down for a while after lunch, but it wasn’t long before she was startled awake.
"Jia Sufen, why did you steal my child!"
"Why did you steal my child!"
"Give me back my child!"
The same sentence echoed in her mind repeatedly, and looking at her familiar office, she recalled the scene from the dream and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Little sister, I’ll go with you."
Xu Nian’an accompanied Xu Nianhua to the Liunian Factory. The factory had just been built, and in the temporary office, Pei Yicheng was so busy he scarcely had time to speak.
Xu Nianhua didn’t disturb him, and she wandered around with Xu Nian’an. As lunchtime approached, she cooked three dishes and a soup for Pei Yicheng: stir-fried beef, sautéed bean sprouts, and a three-flavor soup.
The simple three dishes were well-balanced with both meat and vegetables, dishes paired perfectly with rice, refreshing bean sprouts, and soup.
Standing to the side, Xu Nian’an couldn’t help but tease, "Little sister, the saying that girls are extroversive is quite true."
"Second brother, then you shouldn’t eat my cooking next time, to avoid calling me extroversive," Xu Nianhua glanced at him. During the summer vacation at home, even if she didn’t cook every day, she prepared something delicious every now and then as a treat for everyone.
She remembered second brother had eaten a lot of red-braised pork, red-braised ribs, stir-fried river shrimp, and such, always eating three big bowls of rice before feeling full each time.
"Why don’t we swap places?" Pei Yicheng finally finished his work, and with the aroma of the food, he felt he could eat an extra bowl of rice today.
Xu Nian’an twitched his lips and said, "I am Nianhua’s real brother. If you want to be Nianhua’s real brother, I don’t mind!"
Pei Yicheng declared resolutely; he plans to marry Nianhua and cannot become her brother. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
Such hierarchy shouldn’t be confused.
"But, Yicheng, I am your grandfather’s apprentice, so logically, you should call me uncle?" Xu Nian’an suddenly remembered this issue and couldn’t help teasing.
Pei Yicheng’s face instantly darkened; when his grandfather recognized apprentices, he hadn’t thought about this relationship.
"Then later, if you marry my younger sister, should you call me second brother or uncle?" Xu Nian’an found it extremely amusing to see Pei Yicheng’s embarrassed face, and he was seriously invested in the topic.
"Of course, I’d follow Nianhua’s lead, how could I call you uncle?"
Pei Yicheng reminded, "I’m already twenty-six years old this year." He’s four years older than Xu Nian’an!
"Hierarchy isn’t based on age," Xu Nian’an immediately retorted, "I think you can call me uncle now, and as for second brother, that can wait until after you marry my little sister!"
"Xu Nian’an, our hierarchy is a matter of our own," Pei Yicheng firmly refused to call him uncle, looking at Xu Nian’an’s face.
