Su Yan refused to let her go and said, “Little sister’s results aren’t too good. How about you find someone to tutor her?”

Mother Su said rather awkwardly, “Well, the doctor is here. I’ll hang up first.”

Listening to the beeping sound of the phone, Su Yan narrowed her eyes. Mother Su was not a smart person, but the phone call today made sense. It was obvious that someone was guiding Mother Su behind her back. Su Yan narrowed her eyes. Who could this person be? What was he trying to do? Did he simply dislike her, or did he have other motives?

Before Su Yan could think clearly, the sound of a car honking could be heard from outside the window. Su Yan looked out and saw Huo Nan leaning out of the car, gesturing at her with his free hand.

What trouble was this Huo Nan stirring up again?

Su Yan recalled that in her previous life, Huo Nan was still reserved and waiting for her to go to him. What did he mean by appearing in front of her every now and then?

After changing into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, Su Yan left the villa. Looking at Huo Nan standing in front of her with a greasy smile, Su Yan felt nauseous.

“Xiao Yan, you’re finally out. I’ve missed you so much.” Then, Huo Nan took out a huge bouquet of flowers from the back seat. “This is for you.”

Su Yan looked at the way Huo Nan was talking to her excitedly and felt even more puzzled. In her previous life, she had always been obedient to Huo Nan and thought of him in every way, but Huo Nan had always been cold to her. Now that she was cold to Huo Nan, Huo Nan suddenly changed his attitude?

Su Yan’s eyes coldly followed Huo Nan’s actions and got into Huo Nan’s car. She silently confirmed that men were indeed cheap.

“Aren’t you curious about where I’m taking you?” Huo Nan asked with a smug expression.

Su Yan glanced at Huo Nan and smiled. “Where to? What for?”

Huo Nan beamed with joy and said, “There’s a new Southeast Asian restaurant on the commercial street. I remember you saying that you especially like Indian cuisine. Shall I bring you to try it today?”

Woah? He was really here to please her? Su Yan was slightly surprised and her expression became even stranger.

As the car drove far away, Su Yan calmed herself down and asked, “Did you know that Su Qian was hospitalized last night?”

“In the hospital?” The car suddenly stopped and Huo Nan turned around to face Su Yan. “What happened to Su Qian?”

“Nothing much. She just hurt her leg last night. Mother was too worried about her and sent her to the hospital.” Su Yan was suspicious. “Why are you so anxious?”

Only then did Huo Nan realize that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead and pretended to be calm. “Nothing, do you want to go and see her? I’m worried that someone will gossip and say that you can’t tolerate your sister.”

Su Yan pretended not to notice Huo Nan’s abnormality. “You’re right. Let’s go to the hospital.” In the end, she even felt a little embarrassed. “We can’t go to the restaurant today. It’s such a waste of your kind intentions.”

On the way to the hospital, Huo Nan thought about many things. How did he feel about Su Qian? Did he like her? A little. After all, they had an intimate relationship. How much did he like her then?

Huo Nan stole a glance at Su Yan’s elegant and beautiful face, and the scales in his heart tilted in Su Yan’s direction. Su Qian was gentle, but she was too petty. She was not suitable to be a wife, but it was a good choice to keep her as a mistress.

After sorting out the positions of Su Yan and Su Qian in his heart, Huo Nan felt his mood lighten. He smiled gentlemanly at Su Yan beside him. “How about bringing some fruits for your sister?”

Su Yan raised her eyebrows. “You’re so thoughtful.”

Huo Nan then got out of the car happily and went to the fruit shop next door to buy a fruit basket. Due to his relationship with Su Qian, Huo Nan had only picked expensive-looking fruits. He never expected that an average person would not give these fruits to a patient.

When Huo Nan placed the fruits in the backseat, Su Yan gave Huo Nan a meaningful look.

Huo Nan thought that Su Yan was satisfied with him and was in a better mood.

Su Yan :”…” Is this guy stupid? Usually, this fellow didn’t look that stupid. Why was he so stupid today?

Under Su Yan’s disdain, the two of them finally reached the hospital. Mother Su was sending someone out and bowed respectfully. When she saw Su Yan and Huo Nan, Mother Su was stunned. “Why are you here?”

Su Yan held the flowers and smiled as she looked at Huo Nan, who had taken out a fruit basket from the car. “My sister is sick, of course I have to come and see her.”

“Yes, Xiao Yan’s sister is my sister. I want to visit her too.” Huo Nan carried the fruit basket and smiled confidently. “How is Qianqian? Does she have any fractures?”

Following Huo Nan’s words, Mother Su’s smile stiffened. Finally, under Huo Nan’s fervent gaze, she said with difficulty, “Qianqian is fine, she just sprained her ankle. You guys don’t have to rush over.”

Huo Nan let out a sigh of relief. However, he soon felt that Su Qian was too delicate and began to think about whether he should even keep her as a mistress..
