Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 849 - 868: The Secret Lan Xinru Knows

Xi Shaoqi wasn’t surprised; after all, the woman’s intelligence was well-known. She skipped grades during her studies, graduated with the highest honors at the youngest age for both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and since working at the hospital, she’s become the youngest surgeon there. Many people from all over the country come seeking her because of her reputation. It’s no surprise that such a smart woman would guess his thoughts.

Xi Shaoqi wasn’t embarrassed or surprised; he simply nodded: "Yes, I’m here to talk to you about this matter. What exactly do you know?"

Lan Xinru first smiled mysteriously before continuing: "I hadn’t intended to hide anything from you all along. I was planning to tell you when I had the time. Now that you’ve come to ask me, it’s perfect timing. Actually, I only heard about this matter. I can’t confirm how true it is."

Upon hearing this, Xi Shaoqi furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

Lan Xinru’s dark eyes gazed into the night as she continued with an eerie tone: "Back when I first came to the hospital as an intern, I overheard an accidental conversation between two senior colleagues. I think that when you hear this, you might get some ideas. It’s exactly as you might be thinking now; the conversation was about the An Family. The gist is that the eldest son of the An Family is not their biological child, seemingly born to Xi Xilan with someone else. Years ago, she came to the hospital to have the child removed. They even scheduled the time but somehow canceled it later. That’s all I heard; I don’t know the specifics."

Xi Shaoqi nodded with furrowed brows: "There’s no smoke without fire. I estimate the truth of this matter is about fifty-fifty."

Lan Xinru also supported his view: "That’s exactly how it is. My thoughts are similar to yours. But what I’m more curious about now is how a person who supposedly died years ago could come back to life."

This question is likely puzzling everyone now.

Xi Shaoqi couldn’t explain it either: "I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ll get someone to investigate. I have a feeling that his return this time is quite unusual." As for exactly how unusual, he couldn’t say.

There was always a feeling something would happen, yet not knowing exactly what made it hard to guard against.

Xi Shaoqi and Lan Xinru didn’t stay long on the rooftop and returned to the ward. Lin Mubai, who had been treated and bandaged, was sent to An Nan’s ward, and Lin Ze and Lan Yiqing had also arrived. The couple was troubled by some matters.

"We absolutely can’t let Mom and Dad know about the hospitalization of this young couple, or else the old folks will worry themselves sick."

Lan Yiqing’s concern was shared with Lin Ze deep down.

At this moment, the person lying in the hospital bed spoke up: "As for Mom and Dad, tell Grandpa and Grandma that Nannan and I went back to our previous apartment? Then I’ll call Uncle Liang and Aunt Fu to come to take care of Nannan at the hospital. You both can come by when you have time. If you come too often, Grandpa and Grandma might get suspicious."

It wasn’t the best solution, but Lin Ze and Lan Yiqing quickly nodded in agreement. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"This is the only way for now," Lan Yiqing said, her worried dark eyes resting on the still unconscious face of An Nan on the bed: "Ah, how did it come to this? Nannan’s grandfather is really too much. No matter what, she’s his granddaughter, and she’s pregnant now. Can’t he make some concession? After all, once the child is born, it will call him great-grandfather."
