Lan Baobao stayed in the villa and was very obedient, but she wanted to cause some trouble. However, God did not give her the chance.
Every time Lan Baobao tried to find an opportunity to sneak out of the villa, she would see several bodyguards outside. In that moment, she would realize that no matter how she thought about escaping, it was impossible. The villa was surrounded tightly, and the only way to escape would be if she grew a pair of wings and flew out.
But even if she could fly out, she would still have to worry about being shot down.
So, Lan Baobao could only wait for an opportunity.
Today was not bad; Lan Baobao sat leisurely in the garden of the villa, basking in the sun while secretly observing her surroundings.
Yun Ni came out holding medicine and saw Lan Baobao enjoying the sun. She smiled faintly and said, “Sister Lan, I didn’t know you were here. I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”
Since Lan Baobao pretended to compromise with Mu Jiangfeng, Mu Jiangfeng had not restricted her movements as much. As long as Lan Baobao stayed obediently in the villa and did not go out, she was no longer limited to just staying in her room.
Because of this, Yun Ni had a lot more work to do than before.
Previously, Lan Baobao’s activity range was limited to that room on the second floor, so every time Yun Ni looked for her, she only needed to go to that room.
But now that there were no restrictions on her, Lan Baobao would often run around—sometimes on the second floor, sometimes on the first floor. Occasionally, she would hide behind the sofa and pretend to be dead when Yun Ni came looking for her.
This troublesome patient was quite rare for Yun Ni.
Sometimes when Yun Ni had free time, she would wonder what was going on in Lan Baobao’s mind.
Although Yun Ni did not know what had happened between these two people, it was clear that Mr. Mu treated Lan Baobao well. However, while Lan Baobao sometimes talked to Mr. Mu, she never showed him a good face.
A man as good as Mr. Mu, whom Yun Ni could only dream of having, was something that Sister Lan truly took for granted!
“Where else could I be? I can’t just run away again, can I?!” Lan Baobao lifted her head and gave Yun Ni a bright smile.
The enemy's friend is her enemy.
Lan Baobao would never forget that Yun Ni was on Mu Jiangfeng's side.
Yun Ni was momentarily taken aback by her seemingly joking words, but upon seeing Lan Baobao's hypocritical bright smile, she soon smiled gently in return.
Being overly calculative with a patient is very unprofessional behavior.
Yun Ni remained very professional.
"Sister Lan, it's time for you to take your medicine."
"Take medicine? Didn't my cold get better? Why do I still need to take medicine?" Lan Baobao frowned, as if wary of Yun Ni.
Lan Baobao already disliked taking medicine, and even more so when others forced her to take it when she wasn't sick.
Yun Ni glanced at the pill in her hand and then explained, "Sister Lan, don't overthink it. This is a vitamin pill that helps regulate your body; it's good for your health."
Vitamin pill?
Even if it were poison, she would have to take it, wouldn't she?
As for defying medical advice, weren't the doctors Mu Jiangfeng and you, Yun Ni? Who had ever seen a legitimate doctor? It was just these two messing things up.
But what could she do about it? Not taking it would only lead to greater trouble; it was better to just obediently take it now.
"Forget it, just give me the pill. I'll take it myself."
Hearing Lan Baobao's words, Yun Ni could only hand the cup and the pill over to Lan Baobao.
Lan Baobao took the medicine and swallowed the pill without even drinking water.
The sensation of swallowing it whole was indeed a bit unpleasant.
Although Sister Lan swallowed the pill in one go, appearing quite decisive, her frowning expression without drinking any water indicated that she was still very much opposed to this medicine.
This pill, while capable of supplementing the vitamins needed by the body, was actually an upgraded version of a pill that consumed physical strength, which would still deplete her stamina to some extent.
After Lan Baobao swallowed the pill, she found Yun Ni standing beside her, which she found extremely annoying and bothersome. Lan Baobao opened her mouth in displeasure, moved her tongue around a couple of times, and then checked on Yun Ni.
She said irritably, "Alright, I’ve finished the check-up. Your job is done now; you can leave. I want to be alone for a while, is that okay?"
"Of course! If Sister Lan needs my assistance with anything, just ring the bell in your hand, and I will come right away," Yun Ni nodded and quietly left with the water cup.
Sister Lan was truly a strange woman, seeming to avoid close contact with anyone.
Yun Ni, with good intentions, wanted to see if she would show any signs of discomfort, but Lan Baobao had an attitude that completely rejected any extra interaction with her.
It was hard to understand how Mr. Mu could be so infatuated with this woman given her personality.
Every time Yun Ni watched from afar as Mu Jiangfeng gazed at Lan Baobao, she felt a stirring in her heart.
So deep and so devoted!
Just watching from a distance made her feel envious.
Several times, Yun Ni felt as if she might melt away.
However, Lan Baobao remained indifferent as always.
Why can she have such a good man but still not know how to cherish him?
Yun Ni really feels that Mu Jiangfeng is very pitiful.
On the other side, Mu Jiangfeng had just arrived at the company. He walked into the office, and Assistant followed him in. Mu Jiangfeng didn't even glance at Assistant before giving orders.
"Go arrange some fresh flowers, rings, and dinner. I’m going to propose to Lan Baobao at the villa tonight."
Propose? Assistant looked at the president in shock. Surely he wasn't joking! Hadn't he already been rejected last time? Why was he proposing again?
Moreover, wasn't Lan Baobao Ye Zixun's wife? They hadn't divorced yet. What Master Mu was doing didn't seem right...
"President, are you really going to propose? Last time, Sister Lan seemed very firm in her refusal. Will she agree this time? And it seems that Sister Lan hasn't..."
Before Assistant could finish his last two words "divorce," he already saw the fierce light in Mu Jiangfeng's eyes flickering dangerously.
"No need to say more. Whether she is divorced or not has nothing to do with me! No matter what happens this time, Lan Baobao will be my woman."
Hearing the president's tone, which sounded like he was determined to succeed, made sense. After all, Sister Lan had been by the president's side all this time. If she didn't want to be with him, why would she keep following him around?
Since she was always with Master Mu, acting so intimate, it was the best proof that she had feelings for him.
Divorcing Ye Zixun was only a matter of time.
However, there was one thing he couldn't understand: hadn't Lan Baobao just married Ye Zixun not long ago? The two of them had parents above and children below, and there was also a generous sister-in-law who treated her well.
Most importantly, there wasn't a wicked mother-in-law.
With such a good family background, how could Lan Baobao still be clinging to Mu Jiangfeng?
If she is not a promiscuous woman, then her married life with Ye Zixun is not as lovely as it appears during the Spring Festival.
"President, I understand. I will take care of it right now."
"Mm!" Mu Jiangfeng watched him leave before immersing himself in his work.
In fact, Mu Jiangfeng did not need to go through the trouble of proposing again.
Because Lan Baobao was already in his hands; regardless of whether Lan Baobao wanted to agree or not, she had to say yes.
Lan Baobao had no choice in the matter.
However, Mu Jiangfeng always felt that without a proper proposal, his marriage with Lan Baobao would not be considered complete.
Once they were abroad, he would think about how to avoid drawing attention and marry Lan Baobao.
Things had developed to this stage; it was impossible to turn back now. Mu Jiangfeng would not allow any accidents to happen. Moreover, now that Ye Ziru was still in his hands, if nothing unexpected occurred, Lan Baobao would definitely agree to his proposal.
Suddenly, he thought of Ye Ziru.
Since Lan Baobao had been hospitalized with a high fever last time, he hadn't had the time to check on Ye Ziru. He wondered how Mu Jiao'er was treating Ye Ziru.
Mu Jiangfeng did not want anything to happen to Ye Ziru because of this situation.
Settling down, he immediately got up and headed to the hotel.
Ye Ziru was like a trump card in his hand; he absolutely could not allow this card to have any problems. After he got Lan Baobao out of the country, he hoped Ye Ziru would return safely to Ye Zixun's side.
Before long, he drove to the hotel.
“Ye Ziru... Ye Ziru...” He walked into the room and softly called out a few times. Ye Ziru lay on the bed, seemingly not hearing him at all, not making a sound.
Mu Jiangfeng approached the bedside like a caring father, crouching down to closely examine Ye Ziru's face.
He saw Ye Ziru lying on the bed, appearing to be asleep.
Feeling increasingly uneasy, he thought about how Mu Jiao'er, that reckless woman, had actually left Ye Ziru alone in the hotel. She didn’t even know where she had gone.
It was late, and she still hadn’t returned; he guessed she was probably off meeting some man.
What a brainless flirt; how could he cooperate with someone like her?
In his frustration, he called Mu Jiao'er. He intended to clarify things, but Mu Jiao'er ’s voice came through angrily.
“Hello!” Mu Jiao'er sneered, her voice dripping with disdain as she said, “Mu Jiangfeng, you actually bothered to call?”
Mu Jiao'er went on for a while, but on this end, Mu Jiangfeng remained very indifferent, not paying any attention to her words.
“ Mu Jiao'er. Stop wasting my time with your nonsense. I’m asking you why Ye Ziru is still asleep?” His expression was grim, and his voice carried an edge of anger.
