"Stand for two more minutes." Luan Yenan's gaze did not leave the garden full of osmanthus flowers, and his tone was gentle.
Zuo Baixuan was slightly taken aback by the gentleness, unable to tell whether it was acting or a genuine tenderness flowing from Luan Yenan's heart.
Compared to the unbearable pain she once felt, Luan Yenan now feels a gentle ache mixed with longing.
Is my mother doing well in another world without pain, after all this time since she left?
There should be someone there to take good care of her, right?
Perhaps she will have a more obedient and helpful daughter to accompany her.
She should be able to happily plant her favorite osmanthus tree and manage the courtyard to her liking.
You can also make her favorite pastries and other delicacies.
No one would verbally abuse her just because they don't like her taste once or twice.
They wouldn't beat her because of her fertility issues.
She is free to leave the house, go to the mall to buy her favorite clothes, and go to the market to buy her favorite ingredients.
She can...
"Woof!"
Luan Yenan's imagination was interrupted.
The peppercorn beside me swung its powerful tail, took two seconds to confirm its presence, and then trotted into the rain, rushing to someone's feet.
The man walked along the stone path, carrying a large bag of ingredients in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other.
The person bent down to hold an umbrella for Pepper, the umbrella partially obscuring her face, but unable to hide her bright smile.
"It's raining, why did you come out to greet me? Go back now."
Luan Yenan tightened his grip.
I pressed hard on the wound with my fingers, trying to use the physical pain to cover up the tearing, stabbing pain inside my skull.
The sound that reached my ears overlapped with the illusory voice of the woman in my mind.
In front of the dilapidated little house, the woman sat on a bench with a smile and said to the little girl, "It's raining, and you only just realized you were coming back? Come on in."
"You! Don't use so much force! If it hurts, take your medicine. You're bleeding!" Zuo Baixuan was startled when she saw the scarlet blood on Luan Yenan's face.
What's wrong with this crazy woman now?
The wound was almost healed, why are you squeezing it until it bleeds?!
Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, Luan Yenan grabbed her wrist with his blood-stained hand, roughly pulled her into his arms, and covered her mouth with his other hand to stop her from speaking.
His eyes, flushed red, remained unblinking, yet he never once looked at her.
The maid then ran out of the house: "Madam, let me help you carry your things! Why didn't you have the driver bring them in for you? If you carry all these things by yourself, Mr. Luan will definitely criticize us."
"It's alright, I can carry it. I don't usually like going out, Muyin always nags me about it, so I'm just taking this opportunity to get some exercise and break a sweat." The lady patted her leg, gesturing for Pepper to lean to the side, and at the same time raised the umbrella, giving the servant some space as well.
The umbrella was fully raised.
The lady's appearance was revealed to Luan Yenan.
It's actually true!
Although more than twenty years have passed, my mother hasn't left behind a single photograph, and her memories of her are constantly fading. But the face before me is unmistakably hers!
Luan Yenan's throat moved.
The word "Mom" stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.
She was terrified.
As a child, I often woke up from my dreams after hearing that one word, "Mom."
She was now terrified that the so-called transmigration into a book was just a dream she had imagined that was more real than her usual reality.
But she was still bleeding from the side of her head.
The real physical pain came in waves, telling her that she wasn't awake, that this place was real, and that she could stay here in peace.
"Hmph..." Zuo Baixuan, who was in Luan Yenan's arms, groaned in pain because Luan Yenan's fingers were still exerting force.
Luan Yenan loosened his grip.
After breaking free, Zuo Baixuan was furious and thought she must find a sack to grab her and beat her up.
But to her surprise, when she looked up, she saw a look of restraint and longing in Luan Yenan's eyes. A tear slid down her left eye, mingling with the bloodstains on her cheek and chin, and dripped down.
It crashed to the ground.
Like a blooming flower.
Zuo Baixuan felt a strange feeling welling up inside her, which she couldn't quite put her finger on.
At this moment, Luan Yenan was like a fragile work of art, swaying in the wind and rain, both desolate and exquisitely beautiful.
She was actually moved by Luan Yenan's complex gaze, a mixture of sadness and joy, and felt an urge to hug her and comfort her.
The lady standing some distance away looked over, startled, dropped her umbrella, and ran over: "Ye Nan, what's wrong with you? Quick! Quick! Call Dr. Du over here!!"
Luan Yenan's gaze was fixed, one hand gripping Zuo Baixuan's wrist tightly, the other holding the hand that the lady extended.
Luan Yenan thought to herself, she really loved this world.

Chapter 14
The room was so quiet that the only sound was the pattering rain outside.
After re-wrapping the gauze around Luan Yenan's head, Dr. Du, a middle-aged woman in a white coat, gave him instructions.
The lady stood beside Zuo Baixuan, holding her hand, and asked Dr. Du nervously, "Are these all the precautions? Can I still lie down to sleep at night?"
“Of course, sleeping on your side is better. Miss and Madam should know how you slept last night after your injury,” Dr. Du said with a smile, looking at Zuo Baixuan.
She was eager to get along well with this new member of the family.
Dr. Du has been working for the Luan family for several years now.
This young lady always caused her a lot of trouble whenever she had a headache or fever.
Or rather, she doesn't even remember ever giving him a kind look.
She felt uneasy when the maid called her over today and told her that she was going to bandage Luan Yennan's head wound.
Once upon a time, this person scraped his knee and tried to treat it, but hurt her. She kicked him hard to the ground with her other foot.
head?
head!
When Dr. Du arrived, he was practically prepared to die.
Unexpectedly, Luan Yenan was unusually easy to talk to today.
She cooperated with all the movements without complaining of pain, and even followed all of her doctor's orders.
What kind of auspicious day is today?
Dr. Du then shifted his gaze to the side.
My eyes lit up.
The girl, wearing a white dress and a light green sun-protective jacket, showed a bright and friendly smile.
The humid and stuffy air was dispelled by this smile.
Is that the reason?
Dr. Du felt like he had grasped at a straw.
Zuo Baixuan never expected that she would have to comfort her wife while dealing with the doctor.
At that moment, a forceful voice of accusation came from upstairs.
"What's going on? You brat, you've caused trouble again?"
Luan Yenan raised his head.
She is an "old woman," the original Alpha mother of the body, and Luan Muyin, the "front-end" manager of a top international IT company.
Too……
Luan Yenan glanced at the madam briefly, then looked away and back at the woman who was coming down from the second floor.
He wasn't particularly tall for an Alpha, and his physique was far from muscular. His lean frame was impeccably dressed in a work suit, and he was impeccably organized.
Yet, he and the simply dressed lady complemented each other perfectly.
Not to mention, the lady looked at Luan Muyin with tender eyes as she walked down the stairs step by step, and explained, "Ye Nan was very well-behaved today and didn't cause any trouble."
"Xingxing, all you do all day long is speak up for this brat. But this brat still won't call you 'Mommy'!" Luan Muyin's face was full of gentleness when facing the madam, but when she looked at Luan Yenan, she looked like she owed him five million.
Based on the amount of money the original owner sold company secrets for, the debt may be more than five million.
Luan Yenan pursed her lips.
My throat was still trembling slightly.
Star.
It is the mother's name.
My mother's full name is Luan Xing.
Her mother told her that she named her with the character "night" in it, hoping that her own star could illuminate her night sky.
