He exaggeratedly took off his sunglasses, looking Yu Sangwan up and down, "Isn’t this the former love of President Helian? Back then, the love was so intense that it was about to be announced to the world through the Cabinet! How did you two end up together? Where did you come from?"

Lu Yuxuan frowned, deeply admiring his elder brother.

Just as his brother said, if Gong Hongming was still alive, he would definitely report this to Qin Shaoju when he returned.

Sure enough, he came to test the waters.

Lu Yuxuan smiled, "Young Master Qin, it seems like you haven’t been keeping up with the news? Miss Fu is my sister. Fu Xianlin is my uncle. Is it strange for my sister and me to be together?"

"..." Qin Shaoju was taken aback, "Really?"

"Tch." Lu Yuxuan sneered, "Of course, that’s how it is. Does Young Master Qin have any doubts? If not, my sister isn’t feeling well; I need to take her home."

With that, he rolled down the car window.

The green light ahead turned on, and Lu Yuxuan turned the steering wheel and drove away.

Yu Sangwan breathed a sigh of relief, "Yuxuan, luckily you were here."

Lu Yuxuan frowned and shook his head, "I don’t have much ability... Qin Shaoju is not simple."

He had been under the control of the Qin Family for years; if it weren’t for his brother, he might still be confused now.

They returned to the Fu Family’s home.

Yu Sangwan invited Lu Yuxuan to stay for dinner, "Yuxuan, if you have nothing else, try my cooking."

"Sure." Lu Yuxuan opened his mouth, "I don’t eat..."

"I know." Yu Sangwan nodded with a smile, "You don’t eat ginger, scallion, or garlic."

"How did you know?" Lu Yuxuan was surprised.

Yu Sangwan paused slightly, tugging at her lips, "Your big brother, when he became you... didn’t eat those. Normally, he’s not picky about food."

After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen.

Lu Yuxuan couldn’t help but be moved. Brother, brother, such a sister-in-law, even I am envious!

Lu Yuxuan not only ate but also took some to go.

"This soup is delicious, sister, can I take some with me?"

Yu Sangwan chuckled softly, "Of course, let me pack it for you... If you like it, come often."

"Okay."

However, Lu Yuxuan, who took a to-go pack, went to find Lu Jinxuan after returning to Guan Chao.

Just as Lu Jinxuan had finished a banquet and was resting.

"Here." Lu Yuxuan put the thermos beside him, "Have some! Drink slowly."

Lu Jinxuan tugged at his tie, casting him a sidelong glance, "What’s this?"

"Oh." Lu Yuxuan teased, "Don’t want it? Alright! Then I’ll take it back... I do admire Yu the reporter’s cooking skills!"

"Wait!" Lu Jinxuan immediately reached out, grabbing his wrist, "Put it down!"

Lu Yuxuan laughed, "Don’t worry, it’s for you. But she doesn’t know it’s for you... No scallions, ginger, or garlic; it’s made to my taste."

"..." Lu Jinxuan’s eyes widened, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Lu Yuxuan understood, deliberately provoking him, "Your Excellency, are you jealous? It’s made for me, not you!"

Lu Jinxuan frowned, what a... thankless wretch!

His gaze fell on the thermos, unusually tender... Wanwan made it, it’s so good. It’s been days since I last contacted Le Zhengsheng.

Checking the time difference, Yu Sangwan dialed Le Zhengsheng’s number.

"Hello, Asheng, it’s me."

Receiving Yu Sangwan’s call, Le Zhengsheng was enduring pain.

"Wanwan."

Due to the side effects of the treatment, Le Zhengsheng curled up, shivering, "You... are you alright? Master, how is he, any news?"

"Asheng?" As sensitive as Yu Sangwan, how could she not detect the anomaly in his voice? "Are you in a lot of pain?"

"Mmm." Le Zhengsheng couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan, "It’s nothing..."

"How is it nothing?" Yu Sangwan yelled lowly, "We’re family, do you still want to hide it from me? Treatment... is it painful?"

Pain, how could it not be painful? But, how could someone like Le Zhengsheng, a grown man, admit to it?

"Asheng." Yu Sangwan frowned, "Wait for me, there’s still no news about my father, I’ll come over to accompany you, okay?"

"..." Le Zhengsheng was overjoyed, "Really? You’ll really come back to be with me?"

"Mmm." Filled with guilt, Yu Sangwan said, "I’m sorry, I promised to accompany you for the treatment... If it weren’t for my dad’s situation, I shouldn’t have left you alone there."

In a foreign land, Le Zhengsheng was all alone, suffering intensely from illness, just thinking about it was distressing.

"Wait for me, I’ll come to be with you."

Le Zhengsheng smiled gently, "Okay."

After hanging up, Le Zhengsheng held the phone close to his heart, feeling like the pain in his body was much less noticeable...

"Wanwan, I miss you so much. Miss you so much..."

When Gu Xiaoning came in, she saw Le Zhengsheng lying on the bed with a silly smile.

Gu Xiaoning also smiled, "So happy huh? Let me guess, is your wife coming to visit?"

Wife? Le Zhengsheng curved his lips; he didn’t mind such a misunderstanding. In fact, he quite enjoyed the misunderstanding, "Yes, she’s coming."

"Tch." Gu Xiaoning came over, extending her hand toward him, "Well, let’s get up? It’s time to wash and rest."

"Okay." Le Zhengsheng cooperated, holding Gu Xiaoning’s hand to sit up.

Gu Xiaoning shook her head, "Indeed, the wife’s charm is greater. This is the first time in days you’ve cooperated with my work this much."

Le Zhengsheng only smiled without reply. With Wanwan coming, how could he not behave?

...

"Your Excellency." Ou Guanshen cautiously approached Lu Jinxuan.

"Speak." Lu Jinxuan uttered just one word, commanding respect.

"Yes." Ou Guanshen reported, "Yu the reporter has booked another flight out of Holy City... Probably because she couldn’t find Mr. Fu, so she’s planning to go back to take care of Le Zhengsheng."

"What?" Lu Jinxuan was furious, yet the Le Family’s sickly one again?

Yes, he was grateful to Le Zhengsheng for saving him, but... for precisely this reason, he couldn’t allow Wanwan to go care for him! Which husband in the world would tolerate his wife being kind to another man? No matter how close Le Zheng is, he’s not a true brother!

Lu Jinxuan frowned, massaging his temples, "Guanshen, find a way to keep her from leaving the country!"

...

This time, Yu Sangwan didn’t bring much, traveling light.

While passing through security, she was stopped.

"Sorry, ma’am... You cannot leave the country at this time."

"Huh?" Yu Sangwan thought she heard wrong, "Me? Why?"

The security staff smiled, "The system indicates you’re involved in a civil dispute..."

"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned.

As a journalist, she knew a bit about the related laws.

Indeed, the law stated that citizens involved in domestic civil disputes cannot leave the country.

However, Yu Sangwan couldn’t understand when she got involved in any civil dispute.

But regardless, she couldn’t leave the country.

With no choice, Yu Sangwan had to drag her luggage back home.

As soon as she entered the hallway, Tu Shanni came out, "Taotao, you’re back?"

"Mom." Yu Sangwan was utterly confused, "Did something happen at home?"

Tu Shanni anxiously said, "I was just thinking about how to contact you... Out of the blue, a neighbor claimed that our backyard wall is encroaching on their vegetable garden..."
