<h4>Chapter 1454: Chapter 1467</h4>


    Her body was already pressed tightly against the elevator wall, with the cold wall behind her and the fiery body in front of her, truly a blend of ice and fire.


    Her mind was racing, analyzing his words. His meaning was...


    She was rted to Nangong Yunxi?! A family rtion?!


    Everything was fine before, but as soon as she appeared, he became so unpredictable. If he hated the Nangong Family so much, why did hee back?


    Ruoxi felt somewhat aggrieved. As stubborn as she was, even though she didn’t admit she was upset, she didn’t want him to feel at ease.


    "Mr. Nangong, please get it straight. They are your family, not mine. The rtionship between us is only for a three-month period."


    Ruoxi red with anger, and her chest heaved with fury.


    Nangong Yunxi narrowed his long eyes, his dark eyes cold and sharp. Ruoxi felt a bit intimidated by his gaze, swallowed hard, and asked, "Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong?"


    "Heh."


    "..."


    "What kind of attitude is that!" Ruoxi was furious.


    Just about to ask more, she suddenly found his face magnifying in front of her eyes, and then, a pair of soft, cool lips fell onto hers.


    With a "buzz," her blood surged like a fountain, an electric current spreading from the soles of her feet to every nerve ending.


    For a moment, she forgot to resist, her body stiffened, her hands pressed hard against the elevator wall.


    The domineering onught almost suffocated her.


    After a long while, long enough for the elevator door to open, the mall’s responsible manager stood outside, staring at the scene inside the elevator dumbfounded,pletely shocked.


    Ruoxi was the first to return to her senses. She pushed Nangong Yunxi forcefully, muttering several times, finally squeezing out the words "there’s someone."


    Nangong Yunxi seemed unwilling to let go, but his movements turned gentler, slowly releasing her.


    ...


    Someone seemed unaffected, chatting upfront with the responsible manager, while Ruoxi silently followed behind, her face as red as a ripe apple, tempting others to take a bite.


    She couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Clearly, he broke the rules again, yet he acted so righteously!


    Ruoxi sighed heavily, unknowingly pulling a great distance between her and Nangong Yunxi.


    Nangong Yunxi deliberately slowed his pace to wait for her, but she still didn’t catch up, so he stopped where he was, turning around to see her crimson face again.


    Nangong Yunxi coldly nced at the responsible manager beside him, questioning what was going on.


    The responsible manager shiveringly took out a handkerchief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn’t know what had happened either. Everything was arranged yesterday, so how did a customer sneak in today?


    Fortunately, Nangong Yunxi didn’t pursue it further. He directly ordered the manager and Yunxi to buy all the necessary items.


    Yunxi looked at the goods, each costly, and felt her heart bleeding!


    But then she thought, it’s not her money being spent, so why should she care? Thinking this way, Ruoxi’s spending became more carefree.


    Soon, she bought everything, carrying big and small bags to Nangong Yunxi, "Everything you wanted is bought, check if there’s anything missing."


    Yunxi spoke with a sarcastic tone, picking up on Ruoxi’sint. He smiled slightly, saying, "If it’s all bought, then let’s go, back to the Old Mansion."


    Yunxi pouted, not knowing how to be considerate or help a little.


    Yunxi and Nangong Yunxi, havingpleted their shopping, headed towards the Old Mansion...


    ...


    Shanghai.


    Xia Xuan took a taxi to the hospital, finding Ji Da’s ward, where Ji Da was talking with his assistant. Suddenly seeing Xia Xuan enter, Ji Da was momentarily stunned.


    "Chairman Ji, what’s this, don’t recognize me so quickly?"


    Xia Xuan walked to the sofa with a smile and sat down.


    The assistant, noticing Xia Xuan’s rudeness, frowned and rebuked, "Who are you? Why didn’t you knock before entering!"


    Xia Xuan chuckled lightly, "Chairman Ji, you’ve trained your staff well."


    Ji Da came to his senses and told his assistant, "You can leave first. Tell the others, no one is allowed to disturb me."


    The assistant had doubts but obediently left.


    Once outside, Ji Da sat up straight, "Teacher Xia Xuan suddenlying to Shanghai, is there a reason?"


    Xia Xuan looked at Ji Da’s rosyplexion, not at all like a sick person, and smiled slightly, saying, "Should I call you Guardian Ji or Chairman Ji now?"


    "Teacher Xia Xuan jests. We are peers, no need to be so formal."


    Meanwhile, in another ward, Wei Yu and An Ruoxi were visiting An Ruoxi’s mother.


    An Ruoxi had thought it over, deciding rather than hiding, to speak openly with Wei Yu. When Wei Yu found out his mother was also at Renxing Hospital, he immediately decided he would visit.


    To be honest, when An Ruoxi learned of Wei Yu’s intentions, she was truly shocked.


    Upon entering the ward, An Sufang told An Ruoxi that the surgery date was set, scheduled for the Postnatal day.


    An Ruoxi obediently stood by her side without a word, and An Sufang watched her for a long while, knowing her daughter had something on her mind.


    Before she could ask, she noticed Wei Yu standing at the door, his tall and slender figure dressed in ck garments, exuding an imposing aura. An Sufang was momentarily stunned, but soon returned to her usual state, being experienced. She saw Wei Yu’s gaze, which fell on An Ruoxi, full of passion, deeply affectionate. She smiled knowingly, asking, "Your friend?"


    An Ruoxi had no idea Wei Yu was right behind her, and was stunned for a few seconds when asked by her mother, instinctively asking, "Who?"


    An Sufang pointed to the door, despite her weak state and pale face, a dignified smile gracing her lips.


    An Ruoxi puzzled, nced back, only to suddenly see darkness before her eyes. When she came to her senses, someone had already taken her hand, nodded naturally at An Sufang, saying, "Hello Auntie, I’m Wei Yu."


    An Sufang responded, yet her eyes fell on their hands.


    An Ruoxi hadn’t expected Wei Yu to make such a move, instantly flustering her, attempting to free herself from his grip, but was held tighter.


    With her mother nearby, she dared notsh out, only ring fiercely at him, that look questioning him: "What are you trying to do?"


    Also warning: "Don’t do anything rash."


    To An Ruoxi’s surprise, the Wei Yu she saw now was different than other times. His narrow eyes now filled with deep affection, soft and gentle emotions beyond her understanding.


    Those ck eyes, like whirlpools, drew her gaze until...


    An Sufang tugged at her sleeve, pulling her back to reality.


    An Ruoxi blushed instantly, burying her head deeply in her chest, asking, "Mom, I’ll step out for a bit."
