"It’s nothing..."

...

...

"Is there anything we’ve missed, Xiao Huan?"

A few days later, in Jinghe District, inside a ward of Holy Heart Hospital.

Yan Huan took off the hospital gown he had been wearing for the past few days and changed into the proper clothes his mother had brought.

At this moment, he was already out of bed, moving his body, which had become incredibly strong once again, and he smiled, 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Nothing, mom."

"That’s good then..."

Wang Yulu packed up the belongings they had in the ward one by one, then turned to look at Yan Huan.

Seeing him move around like he had ADHD, making foolish moves like shooting a basket, Wang Yulu raised her eyebrows and gently patted his shoulder,

"Just recovered! Don’t move around!"

"Didn’t the doctor say I’m fine?"

"That’s what they said..."

Speaking of this, Wang Yulu was a bit puzzled too.

Originally, the doctor said that given the car accident, her son would need to rest for at least a few months.

Who knew, after only a few days of rest, his body was almost back to normal, leaving the doctors dumbfounded, thinking Yan Huan was some Linmen Captain.

"..."

Seeing his mother with a puzzled expression, Yan Huan quickly changed the subject,

"Since the doctor says it’s okay, then it’s okay, shall we go?"

After all, the fact he recovered so quickly was due to the modifier, so it was better not to let his mother notice anything unusual.

"Okay... I drove here, it’s just downstairs..."

Wang Yulu didn’t think much and picked up a few things, intending to turn around.

However, just as she opened the door, a few individuals from Linmen Police Station walked towards them.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Wang Yulu and Yan Huan?"

"Ah, yes, that’s us..."

Yan Huan glanced at the two officers in front of him, watching them hand a few documents to Wang Yulu,

"The investigation on the car accident has come through; we preliminarily suspect it was an accident... Here’s the report. If there’s no issue, please take a look and sign..."

"Officer! Officer!"

Yan Huan was just about to take the document and sign it, knowing it had something to do with the index finger, so minimizing the impact was naturally good.

However, before he could sign, a commotion came from behind the officers.

"..."

The loud commotion in the hospital attracted frowns from nurses and relatives in the corridor.

They saw a pale-faced middle-aged woman rushing over, grabbing the officer’s arm.

For some reason, the woman looked somewhat familiar to Yan Huan.

"My daughter has been missing for so long, have you found her yet?!"

"Ms. Zuo, we are investigating..."

"Oh dear! You guys!! My daughter’s concert is in a few days, and now she’s missing! What do I do?! The penalty fees alone..."

"..."

The officers were speechless, pretending not to hear, and had a colleague hold her back.

Then they turned back to Yan Huan and continued,

"Please sign, and there will be no further issues..."

"Okay."

Yan Huan kept watching the woman who acted like a shrew, but his signing hands were quick.

"She’s been missing for so long, and you police have no clues, what are you even doing?!"

"Scribble... scribble..."

"If I have to pay, I’ll definitely sue you!!"

"Scribble..."

"Do you know my daughter is a star?! Bai Yi!!"

Hearing that name, Yan Huan’s hand paused slightly, and he quickly looked over there.

But by then, the woman was already being escorted away.

"All done, Yan?"

"Ah..."

At the same time, Yan Huan handed the signed document back to the officer.

"Great, thanks for your cooperation..."

The officer retrieved the document, nodded, and turned to leave.

"So noisy..."

Yan Huan turned back, looking at his mother who was covering her ears, and couldn’t help but chuckle,

"It’s fine, let’s go."

"Alright～"

Wang Yulu took Yan Huan to the underground parking lot by elevator, where a brand-new Maserati SUV was already waiting for them.

"Tonight, I’ll make a big meal to celebrate your discharge. We’ll invite Aunt Lanlan, Sister Shiyu, and the others... Oh, Hitomi also knows you’re discharged today and said she’d call some of your good friends over..."

"That’s nice?"

"Of course..."

Wang Yulu smiled, patted Yan Huan on the head, and started the vehicle.

The car slowly drove out of the hospital, entering the sunny outdoors.

"Vroom..."

Yan Huan half-opened the window, looking at the hospital outside, while his mind was still on the woman he had just seen.

Ms. Zuo...

Bai Yi...

Is she the fifth host’s mother?

And, coincidentally missing?

Yan Huan rubbed his temples, pondering over this matter.

At this moment, apart from the name Bai Yi being extremely important and the fact that they are the fifth host, Yan Huan couldn’t remember much else.

He rubbed his fingers, and when he passed by the police car parked at the entrance, he saw the "Ms. Zuo" being taken away by the police...

"..."

It seems that he would have to find this Ms. Zuo later.

Yan Huan thought as much.

...

...

"This is way too close..."

At the same moment, in the Jinghe District, in front of a luxurious villa.

Sakuragi Hitomi, looking through the courtyard wall, could already see with the naked eye another villa less than a hundred meters away.

That is...

The Ye Mansion.

"..."

The thought of Yan Huan running into Ye Shiyu after just a few steps every day made Sakuragi Hitomi itch with annoyance.

But at this moment, she still withdrew her gaze and looked behind her.

As a result, she became even more annoyed.

She found An Le shyly wearing a beautiful white dress, clearly not cheap.

Not just the clothes, but even the hairstyle, specially done, no longer the previous long black and straight!

The makeup on her face was also...

"..."

Sakuragi Hitomi took a deep breath and looked at Tong Yingying beside her.

She was also wearing a burgundy evening dress, her red hair tied up in a lady-like manner...

And on her feet, a pair of 7cm high heels!

"You all... seem well prepared, huh?"

After looking over the other’s outfits, Sakuragi Hitomi chuckled and said.

"Same goes for you..."

An Le sweetly smiled, holding her bag as she spoke in kind.

Because right now, Sakuragi Hitomi was also wearing a nice kimono, her hair styled into a very formal bun.

The reason was simple.

Before, Yan Huan’s mother had been working outside, rarely attending any school events like parent meetings.

Sakuragi Hitomi had met her once, so Wang Yulu knew her.

An Le had only seen her when she was a child.

Over the past year since returning to Linmen, they hadn’t seen much of Yan Huan’s parents!

Now, with his mother’s formal return, it counted as the first official meeting!

To put it bluntly...

This was their first time meeting the "mother-in-law"!!

Naturally, they had to be fully prepared!!

"...This place is huge! Yan Huan will live here from now on?"

While the others were fully geared, Aria remained in her simple sports shorts and T-shirt.

As she said this, she jumped down from the balcony on the fifth floor.

"Thud... thud... thud..."

She lightly landed on the third-floor railing, then performed a backflip, landing steadily on the ground.

As if nothing happened, she looked at the other three women, whose mouths were stiff with shock.

"What’s up?"

"Buzz..."

Before anyone could speak, the sound of a car engine came from the entrance.

They’re here!!

Hearing the engine sound, the three women instantly entered a goddess mode!

Their expressions, along with their auras, subtly changed, transforming into an invisible tri-colored tidal wave, surging toward the just-parked vehicle.

"Rumble!!"

In the car, Wang Yulu, just unbuckling her seatbelt, felt the terrifying, competitive aura, like a tidal wave, rushing at her.

"Hmm..."

Wang Yulu’s expression instantly became puzzled. She turned to glance at the "Four Queens" at the villa entrance...

For some reason, she had a strong desire to stay in the car.

No other choice, she turned to Yan Huan in the front passenger seat.

She saw his usual expression, calm like a leaf boat in a storm.

He unbuckled his seatbelt with habitual calmness, intending to get out.

"...Son, don’t you...have any male friends?"

"..."

Upon hearing his mother’s tentative voice after a long silence, Yan Huan showed a puzzled expression and replied,

"Yes, Mom, I do..."

Wang Yulu didn’t speak, only looked at him as if to ask,

"Like who?"

"For example, Yahashi, and...um... Yahashi."

"..."
