"If there's someone else in Andy's heart, you …" Su Wanbai tried to test the waters.

"He didn't say that he had a girlfriend, but I had a chance. If I had a chance, why didn't I grab it?" The moment Andy was mentioned, the listless Xia Lan immediately became spirited.

These few days, Andy didn't even go to the company, the only motivation Xia Lan had to go to work was gone.

"You're looking for someone to ask him and see if he has anyone else in his heart?" Su Wanbai said meaningfully.

"Oh." Xia Lan whispered.

The two stood there and chatted for a while. Rebecca called over to tell Xia Lan to go back to work, and also called to bring a cup of coffee back for her. In fact, she clearly wanted to have a cup of coffee as soon as she remembered about Xia Lan. She was practically her servant now, waiting on duty around the clock. No matter how wronged she was, she could only bitterly hang on. After all, she had reaped a lot of rewards from coming to the company, and it was her first job after graduation. She did not want to give up on such a good platform.

"Then go back quickly." Su Wanbai said.

"I want to go see auntie. Is it convenient now?" Xia Lan looked towards the Inpatient Department's building.

Su Wanbai didn't tell Xia Lan about her mother's illness, but if even her daughter had taken a long leave to take care of her, then it wouldn't be a small sickness. Even Xia Lan had faintly felt that it was a bit embarrassing to ask about it in person. At this time, Andy was sitting in her sickroom. If Xia Lan entered, her relationship with Andy would be exposed. For the time being, she didn't want her colleagues to know this secret.

"She just fell asleep. Come back another time when you have time." Su Wanbai patted Xia Lan's shoulder.

Xia Lan waved her hand and turned around, walking away.

Su Wanbai stood blankly in place for a while before she turned around and left.

"Is that girl your colleague?" Su Wanbai had just entered the ward, when her mother asked him with a smile.

"Yes." Su Wanbai said.

Mo Xinran had just been standing in front of the window with his daughter's back coincidentally facing him and she was quite a distance away from her, so it was impossible to see her expression from this position. But Mo Xinran could feel that she really cared about her current job. However, due to her burden, she was unable to return to her job. She could not help but feel guilty. Her health was getting worse and worse, and all that remained was trouble for her children. They were young now, and they had a lot of momentum in their careers. Wouldn't it be a little selfish to keep them by her side all the time?

"Sis, is it Xia Lan?" Andy lowered his head to peel the apple as he asked indifferently.

"What is it? You're thinking of her after a few days? " Su Wanbai blinked her eyes.

"I can't wait to see her for the rest of my life!" Andy panicked, and even the apple tumbled to the ground.

"You're the CEO, and you're afraid of a small employee?" Mo Xinran asked with interest.

Andy's face immediately flushed red. He stuttered a few words, but felt that it was a little unnecessary, so he hurriedly ran out of the ward to fetch the hot water.

Su Wanbai had secretly told the matter of Xia Lan chasing after him to his mother. His mother did not know that Andy was secretly thinking about Su Xiaomi, so she seriously asked her daughter about some matters regarding Xia Lan's family.

Looking at the girl from afar, she was still extremely delicate and pretty, not to mention, she was someone who could befriend her daughter well, she would definitely have no problem with that, when Mo Xinran thought of this, a ray of sunshine suddenly flashed past her heart. Her son was not young anymore. She could forgive her previous teasing, but now it was time for him to have a serious relationship.

Andy waited for a long time before returning to the ward. But just as he entered, his mother spoke out, "Try dating Xia Lan, Mom thinks she's a good person."

Andy was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off. What? He had only been gone for ten minutes. What had his sister said to his mother? Isn't this just making a mess? There was only Su Xiaomi in his heart, how could his mother not see that? Or could it be that she had clearly seen through him long ago, and was only belittling her because she cared about Su Xiaomi's terrible past?

"I don't like her!" Andy put the thermos back on the table and sat on the bed opposite him, pouting his lips in annoyance.

"Feelings can be slowly developed. You just met each other. I've already said that we can have a date and just take a look! After being together for a long time, we will slowly fall in love with each other. " Mo Xinran became stubborn.

"Mom, actually, my heart …" Andy clenched his teeth, wanting to speak the truth.

"Mom's health is not good, I can't wait any longer. Wanbai, Yi Xuan is not bad, you guys should get married. Now that Andy is here, my heart is much more at ease. Xiao Mi is still in school right now, so it won't be too late for us to date after she graduates, so I won't rush her then! "

Su Wanbai and Andy looked at each other, staring at their mother in shock.

What was he trying to do? Is it arranged for a marriage of children? It wasn't her style. Although Mo Xinran was Chinese, she had lived in Canada for most of her life. What's going on now? Their personalities had become unacceptable to them.

"Mom, can you give us some time? It's not as simple as you think! " Su Wanbai did not dare to reject him, and asked carefully.

"Time?" Of course you have plenty of time, but I don't have much time left to wait. I am about to die, can't you fulfill the little request of a dying person? Don't even mention getting married, you don't even have a partner to fall in love with. How can you explain it to your dad if we go over there! " Mo Xinran suddenly became excited.

She didn't want to be angry. She wanted to pretend that she didn't know what was happening to her, so that the children wouldn't feel that stressed out. However, they didn't want to have such a good partner to fall in love with. She couldn't stand watching such a scene unfold in front of her. Even if they were only deceiving her, did they not want to deceive her?

Su Wanbai and Andy finally responded obediently.

These days, they had been avoiding their mother's illness. They were so self-righteous that they thought their mother didn't know, but how could she not know? Her body, of course, understood best. As she weakened day by day, it was difficult for her to even get out of bed. The doctor had said that chemotherapy only delayed the patient's life and did not have much effect. They had once tried to persuade Mo Xinran to accept treatment, but she didn't agree to anything. She, who had an elegant and noble life, didn't want to suffer such inhuman torture before she died.

"I have to leave the hospital tomorrow. I will invite Xia Lan to my house in a few days. I want to meet her!" Mo Xinran's anger had not subsided, even her voice was so hoarse that it made people's heart ache.

"Ai!" Andy sighed helplessly.

Her mother was too stubborn. At this moment, no one wanted to give up on her.

When Xia Lan heard this news, she was so excited that she almost fainted. When Su Wanbai told her this news, he had also told her about her relationship with Andy. She clearly knew that Xia Lan could not control her mouth, but now that the matter had come to this point, concealing it anymore was meaningless.

Xia Lan's innocent and cute behavior pleased her very much. She was exactly the same as Mo Xinran had imagined his daughter-in-law to be. She just liked this kind of girl, she really didn't want to put on an act.

"Xiao Lan, although our family has some money, we are not the kind of family that loves to get rich and poor. Andy's father passed away very early, so I have been a little spoiled towards him. He has many bad habits, I hope that you will forgive him and not despise him! " Mo Xinran seemed to have become Andy's spokesperson. He couldn't even interrupt and could only accompany his mother with a dark expression.

"Auntie, we …" Before we have established a relationship, I still have to see Andy's attitude towards me. "He wanted to fall in love with me because he wanted me to, not because..." Xia Lan saw through Andy's unwillingness.

"Even if it was established today, Andy, do you have any objections?" Mo Xinran turned her face to the side and asked with a smile.

"No …" "No more." Andy stammered as he looked at Su Xiaomi, who was eating with her head held low.

Su Xiaomi's reaction made him extremely disappointed. After getting along with him for such a long time, did she not feel anything? She was just joking around and called Xia Lan "Sister-in-law" a moment ago, this silly girl who didn't care at all! In her heart, there was only Jin Yichen, the man who was already famous, had an owner, and was also far away from his reach. He did not understand what was so good about that man. Why could she occupy Su Xiaomi's heart so firmly?

After dinner, Andy took orders from his mother to personally send Xia Lan home.

Along the way, Andy kept a close eye on the road ahead.

When his perfect side profile and sad eyes fell into Xia Lan's eyes, she felt as if her heart had flipped over from sadness. She regretted her decision to not accept such an invitation, and inadvertently pushed Andy into an extremely awkward situation. She seemed to have finally caught up to Andy, but also seemed to be even further away from him now. She approached him, and all she got was his mother's approval. He was so sad, like a teenager whose depression could not be dispelled, silently enduring an intangible sadness.

"You don't hate me, do you?" Xia Lan held onto her last hope.

"Not being annoying doesn't mean you like it, but liking and love have a long way to go. I fell in love with someone, but she had someone else in her heart. It's ridiculous to think that I might never have her in my life. "However, I am willing to protect her. When she needs me, I will be the first to rush in." Andy said faintly.

Xia Lan's face instantly paled, as if Su Wanbai had hinted that there was someone else in Andy's heart. However, being unable to extricate herself from love, she did not take it seriously at all. She thought that since Andy did not have a public girlfriend, she had a lot of opportunities. However, he didn't know that one person's heart was already occupied by another woman, so how could she squeeze in?

"Who is that person? Can I know? " Xia Lan said with a sobbing tone of voice.

She had wanted to pretend to be more graceful, and although she had been so bluntly rejected by a man in her life, she didn't want to cry. She was still young, and in the future, she would meet a boy that was more suitable for her. However, her heart seemed to have been hollowed out. An unprecedented feeling of loss and despair tightly bound her. She was unable to breathe. It wasn't that he didn't like her, but that he already had someone else in his heart. How happy was that woman, with a man who loved her and a man who loved her.
