An Xiulan spent the entire day in the Lu family house. In the evening, she took leave and decided to retire for her house. Lu Xun was reluctant to let her go but she made him understand that she was not going anywhere and he could find her anytime in the office.
Although An Xiulan didn’t bring her car with her, she borrowed her father’s car again.
“Dad, see you have to lend me this car again. Why don’t you just give it to me?” An Xiulan asked her father.
Lu Zhaolin rolled his eyes. “I know what you are doing. If I give you this car, you won’t look at it again. This car is a treasure to me but it is not to you.”
An Xiulan pouted but her dad made sense. She just liked driving it because she could get on his nerves with this. She hugged them goodbye and drove away. She was listening to music while driving the car and suddenly, someone appeared in front of her car and she pressed her feet on the brakes. The car halted all of a sudden and her head hit the steering wheel. Thankfully, it was not enough to give her more than a bump on the forehead.
She immediately got out of the car and saw a girl sprawled on the road. Blood was dripping down her forehead.
“Are you alright?” An Xiulan asked. She groaned. What kind of stupid question was that? “Please, let me take you to the doctor. You need constant medical attention.”
“I can’t waste any time, “The girl tried to run but soon she fell to the ground and the gun in her hand fell too.
An Xiulan looked at the woman and then at the gun. “Are you an officer?”
“Yes, “The woman grunted. “You made me lose the person we spent almost a month strategizing. “
“Oh, next time just don’t run on the road when the green light is on, “An Xiulan said. “Also, show me your police ID or I will call the cops.”
“You are annoying, “The woman grunted in pain but showed her ID.
“Let me take you to the hospital, officer Chen, “An Xiulan said, looking at the ID. The woman was a special force officer and she just lost the man she was trying to capture. “Even if you run after him, he will be gone. And you will only delay your comrades if you don’t get the urgent medical treatment.”
“I didn’t know people are this nice here, “Officer Chen said.
“Oh the car belonged to my dad, “An Xiulan chuckled. “If he finds out, I hit someone with his precious car, do you think he will let me touch his babies? Never! Also, my dad is an ardent follower of the law.”
Chen Jiayi groaned but An Xiulan helped her inside the car and drove her to the nearby hospital. When she reached the hospital, the officer was taken away on a stretcher while she filled in the necessary information on the form.
An Xiulan’s phone rang and she picked it up without seeing the caller while she was filling out the form.
“Lanlan, where are you? Didn’t you say you will reach home soon? It’s been more than an hour, “An Qinyan sighed. She had been worried sick about her daughter who said she would reach home soon but didn’t come until this moment.
“Mom, I’m at the hospital, “An Xiulan said.
“Why?” An Qinyan asked.
“My car got into an accident, “An Xiulan said. She didn’t realise until now what wrong thing she had said. Her mother began panicking and getting anxious. No, her mom was not ready to hear why she was in the hospital. Only asking what hospital she was in.
“Mom, I’m not hurt, “An Xiulan said.
“No, you are lying to me again, “An Qinyan said, panicked. “Last time, you got a burn on your arm, that’s what you said. You always lie about your wounds. I’m coming. I’m coming right now.”
An Xiulan knew that she couldn’t stop her mother from coming here. “Fine, just don’t drive. Come with a driver. Once again, I’m fine.”
When An Qinyan disconnected the call, she began calling her husband. But Gu Yanxi was not in the bedroom. With shaking legs, she reached the living room and saw Lu Xuan and Gu Shangyan laughing with him. The boys stopped laughing as they saw her worried and pale face.
“Ma, what’s wrong?” Lu Xuan asked first.
pA n,dan0ve1.c0m “Auntie, are you fine?” Gu Shangyan followed the lead.
Gu Yanxi was startled as he saw that his wife began crying and hugging him. “Yanyan, what’s wrong?”
“Lanlan got into an accident. She is now in hospital, “An Qinyan said, holding back her tears but only if it was easy.
“I will call Jiang Yao right now. Shangyan arranged the private jet to Boston, “Lu Xuan said as he began dialling Jiang Yao’s number.
Gu Yanxi stopped the two boys and said, “Boys, your sister is not in Boston.”
“Where is she if not in Boston?” Gu Shangyan questioned.
“That’s not important right now, “Gu Yanxi said. “Yanyan, what hospital is she in?”
An Qinyan gave them the hospital address and they left in the same car.
“Will someone tell me what’s happening?” Lu Xuan asked. He looked at Gu Shangyan and added, “You are the smarter one of the three of us. Can you explain to me what’s happening?”
“Hell if I knew, “Gu Shangyan muttered. “We are about to reach the hospital. We will find out what’s wrong there.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t stop himself from worrying though he was pretending as if he was fine but his hands were sweating and shaking in fear of uncertainty. Never had the way to the hospital seemed so long than at this moment.
Thankfully, they reached the hospital.
An Qinyan and Gu Yanxi began inquiring at the reception while Lu Xuan froze at the sight in front of him. Gu Shangyan followed his gaze and froze too.
In front of them, An Xiulan was laughing and talking with a nurse who gave her a big cup of strawberry boba tea. She took a sip and gaped at its delicious taste.
“This is so amazing, “An Xiulan smiled widely at her.
“I walked for fifteen minutes just to get this Boba tea, “The nurse said with a shy look. “I got this for Doctor Liu.”
“Oh dear, why did you give me this?” An Xiulan asked in concern.
“It’s okay, “The cute nurse smiled shyly. “I can get him tea again but I won’t see you again.”
“You are so nice, “An Xiulan said with a smile.
“You are my idol, “The nurse said with a smile. “I still follow you on all of your social media accounts. When I was an awkward kid in high school, you motivated me a lot with your words. I saw all episodes of Miss Sunshine, Miss China Teen, Miss China and all the other contests you took part in. When you were not able to join Miss Universe, we Glitter Queen fans cried a lot but we were relieved to know that you are fine. I always wanted to meet you but I never had the luck.”
“Now you are making me cry, “An Xiulan said while laughing and crying at the same time.
“Can I take a picture with you? There are so many Glitter Queen Fans who still follow you, “The cute nurse said.
“Of course, “An Xiulan said. “Do you mind if I share it on my social media account mentioning you?”
The cute nurse shook her head with a wide smile. She was so happy that it could be seen on her face.
They clicked a picture and posted it on the internet.
‘It feels so good to know that I still have fans in the country. Thanks to the pretty nurse for my favourite Boba.
#Back to China. #Gratitude to Glitter Queen’s fans.’
When the nurse left and An Xiulan looked straight, she did an oops. She scratched her head sipping on the boba tea. When she saw that they were not moving, she waved at them.
“Hi, brother. It’s nice seeing you, “An Xiulan said with a hesitant grin.
When she expected both of them to begin scolding her, they ran and hugged her. She was suddenly choked with a lot of emotions.
“Gosh, Teeny, you suck at surprises, “Lu Xuan mumbled.
“This was not my planned surprise but okay, “An Xiulan pouted.
“Crybaby, you could have told me, “Gu Shangyan said with a sigh.
“What would be the fun in it?” An Xiulan said.
“Are you back permanently?” Lu Xuan asked.
“If you don’t annoy me, I won’t go back, “An Xiulan answered.
“God, you can have anything you want just don’t go back. I don’t want my siblings to live in the ocean apart from me. It sucks, “Lu Xuan said with a sad look. “Let me tell you if I didn’t say before that I missed you guys a lot.”
“Fine, I missed you a little too, “An Xiulan said with a smile.
