After a flash marriage, the abstinent president dotes on his wife

Xing Nian wanted to give her senior brother and An Ran a chance to be alone, but she was worried that An Ran would have a psychological trauma towards men, so she just wandered around and returned to the hospital when the time was right.

As soon as I stepped in, I saw Jiang Shiyi with a obsessed look on his face, his mouth almost grinning to his ears.

"Senior Brother? Senior Brother?" Xing Nian called out twice.

Jiang Shiyi finally came back to his senses, "Huh?"

It turned out that Jiang Shiyi was immersed in the joy of Qi Anran's confession, and Xing Nian's sudden appearance instantly brought him back to reality.

"Brother, if An Ran saw you like this, she would probably laugh at you and call you a pervert," I teased.

Jiang Shiyi was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "As long as she likes it, it's fine if she scolds me."

Xing Nian was surprised. How long had it been since she left? Her senior brother had become so open-minded? If she had said that to him before, he would have definitely retorted.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're possessed by something?" Xing Nian said half-jokingly.

Jiang Shiyi restrained his smile, "What possession? Don't talk nonsense." Then he smiled again, "I just fulfilled my wish. An Ran also likes me."

"Have you expressed your feelings?" Xing Nian asked.

Jiang Shiyi nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Xing Nian covered his mouth with a look of disbelief. "So fast! Congratulations, brother."

Jiang Shiyi was immersed in the joy of being blessed, but Xing Nian's next words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling him to the core.

"But An Ran's brother doesn't seem to agree. It may not be easy for you to meet in the future."

Recalling Qi Anche's expression when he heard An Ran's confession, Jiang Shiyi knew that it would not be easy to win the approval of his future brother-in-law.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood and regained his confidence. When it comes to being persistent, Jiang Shiyi considers himself second to none.

Jiang Shiyi, who had regained his spirits, took Xing Nian and suggested going out to buy food and toys for An Ran, vowing to bring back all the things she loved.

Xing Nian immediately dissuaded him, "Brother, even if you buy all these, An Ran's brother will directly refuse them, and you can't give them to her at all. If you want to give her a gift, you have to do it when her brother is not around."

Jiang Shiyi nodded repeatedly. Indeed, An Ran's brother was currently guarding the ward, and going in at this time was not a good idea.

Xing Nian looked at Jiang Shiyi's slightly lost expression, wondering in his heart. He used to be able to handle women with ease, but why did his brain crash when it came to An Ran?

Although he has admitted his feelings for his senior brother, at least this feeling is not one-sided, but in order to win the approval of An Ran's brother, he may need to make more efforts. The road ahead is his own challenge, and she is waiting for good news.

After leaving the hospital, Xing Nian planned to return home, but unexpectedly a strange phone call broke the silence.

"Hello." She answered politely.

The other party was silent for a moment. Just as Xing Nian was about to ask again, a deep voice sounded: "I am Xiao Mingheng, Madam Mu, can I meet you?"

"Second Master Xiao." Xing Nian responded briefly, then hung up the phone and drove to the agreed location.

Half an hour later, at Luling Coffee Shop.

Xing Nian pushed open the door and walked into the store. Soft lights sprinkled in every corner, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere.

There are several simple-style paintings hanging on the wall, and retro coffee utensils are dotted in between as decorations, adding a touch of artistic charm to the entire cafe.

The soft jazz music played melodiously, interweaving with the mottled sunlight that filtered through the gaps in the leaves in the afternoon, creating an indescribable feeling of relaxation and comfort.

Xing Nian looked around and found that the cafe was empty except for the busy staff behind the bar and Xiao Mingheng, the second master Xiao, who was sitting in a wheelchair in the corner by the window.

Although he is in a wheelchair, he exudes an otherworldly aura, and is surrounded by a coldness and alienation that makes people dare not approach him easily. His clothes are simple but stylish, with plain colors and no complicated decorations, which highlights his unique temperament.

"Second Master Xiao." Xing Nian greeted softly.

"Sit down." Mr. Xiao responded briefly.

"I ordered a cup of coffee for you in advance, I hope it suits your taste." Xiao Mingheng said.

"Thank you." Xing Nian nodded slightly.

Xing Nian took a sip of coffee, and the rich aroma instantly awakened her dormant taste buds.

"I wonder what business Mr. Xiao has with me this time?" she asked.

"The main purpose of meeting Madam Mu this time is to express my gratitude. Thank you for mentioning in the Xiao family that someone was impersonating me and acting outside." Mr. Xiao said slowly.

"I have already investigated the matter thoroughly. Thanks to Madam Mu's reminder, the Xiao family was spared from unnecessary rumors." He continued.

"Second Master Xiao, you are too polite. The Xiao family and the Mu family have always had dealings with each other. Besides, Young Master Xiao was my savior. It was just a small favor from me. It's not worth mentioning." Xing Nian responded modestly.

Master Xiao crossed his arms, spoke in a cold tone, and looked directly at Xing Nian with his deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.

"Mrs. Mu, you seem to be quite interested in me, and you even sent someone to investigate my background?"

Xing Nian's face was calm. She had long expected that investigating the Xiao family would trigger their vigilance. As a member of a military family, they have always been strict in protecting their privacy, and any investigation would hardly escape their attention.

"I can't say I'm interested, but Mr. Xiao looks a lot like someone, and I want to find out who that person is."

Xiao Mingheng chuckled, took a sip of the coffee in his hand, and said slowly: "What a coincidence, I also have a strong interest in Madam Mu. After some investigation, I learned that you are the daughter of the Xing family. However, I already know everyone in the Xing family. Some of them have passed away or are in prison. Only your mother seems to have appeared out of thin air, and even her image has not been found. Madam Mu, can you give me some advice?"

Xing Nian smiled and responded, "Well, I also have something to ask Master Xiao, what happened 22 years ago that made you confined to a wheelchair?"

Xing Nian had already investigated and knew that although Mr. Xiao's health was not good, it had never been this bad. After the incident 22 years ago, his health had deteriorated rapidly and he was eventually confined to a wheelchair. The Xiao family even sent him overseas for recuperation.

Talking about this, Xiao Mingheng's eyes flashed with sadness and unwillingness: "It was a tragedy caused by a woman. We were scheduled to get the marriage certificate on that day, but she never showed up. She only left a resolute letter stating that she didn't love me, and then she completely disappeared from my world."

Xing Nian deeply felt the unspeakable sadness from Mr. Xiao Er.

Xiao Mingheng calmed himself down and tried his best to control his emotions. After a while, he regained his calm and composed look.

"I have answered Madam Mu's questions. I wonder if Madam Mu can tell me who your mother is?"
