A few simple words directly dispelled Xie Churan's dissatisfaction and resentment.
Not only that.
It even ignited a warm current in her heart.
Although she had been with Chen Nan several times.
This guy had never said he liked her.
Seeing her gentle eyes, Chen Nan sat on the sofa and patted his thigh.
Xie Churan tacitly sat on his lap.
This was also why Chen Nan liked this older sister.
She understood how to cooperate, making it very comfortable to get along.
He sighed and said, "Actually, I also considered telling you that matter."
"But, I feel it would be disrespectful to Ling'er!"
"No matter what, she is my patient, how can I tell others about her condition?"
"Moreover, dreams are not from the heart."
"Things in dreams don't mean anything."
Xie Churan lowered her head in shame: "I'm sorry, I wronged you!"
"Let's not talk about it! Anyway, your mother-daughter issues will be over soon, don't take it to heart." Chen Nan smiled and rubbed her face.
Not bad.
After his nourishment during this period, Xie Churan's complexion became even more radiant, as if it could be broken by a touch.
Xie Churan's eyes were complicated, and she wanted to speak but stopped: "Chen Nan, I..."
Chen Nan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Tears flowed down Xie Churan's face uncontrollably: "When I argued with Ling'er before, I realized one thing, I can't lose her, but I also can't lose you..."
"I don't know what to do now..."
Chen Nan said softly, "Leave it to time!"
Xie Churan nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I'm going to refine pills. You can wait for Ling'er to wake up upstairs, or you can watch TV and rest here!"
The world was about to descend into chaos.
And the funds in his hands were not sufficient.
He had to get more money before then!
"Okay, you go ahead!" Xie Churan wiped away her tears and gave him a smile.
------
Villa basement.
Chen Nan summoned his alchemy furnace, took out the herbs and other miscellaneous items inside.
He found eight top-grade jade stones, set up a formation base, and then formed hand seals.
Whoosh!
A faint wisp of flame emerged from the ground.
Then Chen Nan began to refine pills.
The breast-enhancing pill was a basic elixir. With his current attainments, he could refine hundreds of them simultaneously.
Even refining a hundred pills was very easy.
Moreover, the quality of the pills was very high, reaching the top-grade pills mentioned by Nangong Wan.
This was because each pill had ten fine pill patterns.
At the same time.
Xie Ling'er slowly opened her eyes.
A sharp pain shot through her head, as if she had a hangover the night before.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Seeing her mother by the bed, a hint of panic flashed in Xie Ling'er's eyes.
Xie Churan, suppressing her inner nervousness, said, "Chen Nan called me and said you were asleep here, telling me not to worry, so I came over."
"Who knew you slept like a pig! Look outside, it's almost dark!"
Xie Ling'er was a little confused.
She only remembered coming to Chen Nan's room after dinner, but her memory afterwards was a bit blurry.
It seemed like there was a gap.
However, she didn't think too much about it.
Because the scene before her was too awkward, she didn't know how to explain to her mother that she was here.
"Get up quickly, it's not proper for a girl to sleep in someone else's bed!" Xie Churan said with a hint of disdain.
Xie Ling'er gave an embarrassed smile, then quickly got up and followed her mother downstairs.
Chen Nan was preparing to cook hot pot at this moment.
"Oh, you're awake. Get ready, it's time for dinner!" Chen Nan, wearing an apron, said, "Since your mom isn't home, we'll just have to make do with hot pot." He then turned and went to the kitchen.
Xie Ling'er whispered, "Mom, don't you feel that this moment is very warm?"
Xie Churan frowned, "What do you mean?"
Xie Ling'er touched her nose and whispered, "Don't you feel that our family is lacking masculinity?"
Xie Churan's eyes lit up, and she teased, "Do you want Chen Nan to be your stepfather?"
"I want him to be your son-in-law!" Xie Ling'er said and ran into the kitchen with a laugh. She had to run, for fear her mother would hit her...
"You dead girl, how can you say such things casually?" Xie Churan's face was filled with indignation.
But then she thought.
If their mother and daughter could really accept this identity, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
But...
Wouldn't this be too absurd?
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang.
Chen Nan poked his head out of the kitchen, "Sister Churan, Ning is here, can you please open the door!"
"Okay." Xie Churan went to open the door.
In the kitchen, Xie Ling'er whispered, "Brother Nan, I had a very absurd dream earlier, about you and Mom, do you want to hear it?"
Chen Nan casually asked, "What dream?"
Xie Ling'er's face turned red, "I dreamed that you and Mom were together, and I saw it on the spot."
Chen Nan smiled and said, "You think about it by day and dream about it by night. It seems you want me to be your stepfather!"
"You're taking advantage of me again..." Xie Ling'er pouted indignantly, looking somewhat playful.
"Chen Nan, I bought a few abalones and sea cucumbers, and I've had them prepared. Get me a plate." Jian Ning walked into the kitchen with a large bag of seafood.
She already knew that Xie Churan and her daughter were here, so she bought some extra seafood.
Ten minutes later.
All the ingredients were placed on the dining table outside.
The four of them raised their glasses, ate, and chatted.
Jian Ning: "Chen Nan, Wan Ting and I have discussed it and agreed to sell all the company's shares. We have also informed those who are interested in our company, and the share auction will be held in three days."
"You're selling the company?" Xie Churan looked shocked.
Longyin was the hottest company in Jizhou, and countless people were optimistic about its future.
She never expected Chen Nan to sell the company.
Chen Nan smiled, "It's not a bad thing to sell it."
Xie Churan: "That's right, with Longyin's current popularity, it's not difficult to sell it for tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions. With this money, we can live the rest of our lives very comfortably!"
Xie Ling'er smiled and said, "Doesn't this mean we have two billionaires in front of us? Come, a toast to the two billionaires!"
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang outside again.
"I'll go open the door."
Chen Nan didn't know who it was, so he got up and went outside.
He saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a designer suit, looking rich and powerful, exuding the aura of a dominant CEO.
Behind him were two middle-aged bodyguards, both with strong auras, surprisingly reaching the Grandmaster realm.
It was evident.
The other party came from an extraordinary background and had a great backing.
"Who are you looking for?" Chen Nan asked.
The middle-aged man introduced himself: "My name is Qu Shaojun. May I ask if you are Mr. Chen Nan?"
Chen Nan frowned, "Do we know each other?"
Qu Shaojun smiled and said, "We haven't met, but I'm very optimistic about your company's development prospects, so I'd like to discuss an acquisition."
Jian Ning walked out with a blank expression: "Mr. Qu, why are you here? Are you following me?"
