Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mother, please let Tongtong and Han’er take Qiao Ran with them. It’s been a long time since Qiao Ran has gone out. She would be under their supervision.” Liu Juan said. 

The Old Madam paused. What Liu Juan said was true, but she was worried whether Guan Tong would agree to this arrangement.

“Grandmother, I’m not sure if I would be able to take care of two people at the same time.” Guan Tong did not care whether Qiao Ran would be there or not, but she didn’t want any trouble.

“Ranran is already a grown-up. You don’t need to worry about her. She can even help you take care of Han’er. Wouldn’t that be great?” Liu Juan was adamant that Guan Tong take Qiao Ran to visit her family.

“Yes, sister-in-law. I can take care of myself, and I can also help you take care of Brother Han too.” Naturally, Qiao Ran also wanted to go with Lu Han. 

“Then I’ll listen to Grandmother’s wishes.” Guan Tong said obediently.

“Then let Ranran go with you. At least there’s one more person there to help out.” the Old Madam made her decision and gave Guan Tong her order.

“Yes, Grandmother.” Guan Tong agreed.

“Thank you, Grandmother!” Qiao Ran was thrilled. As long as she was away from the Old Madam’s side, that ugly girl would not be at her mercy.

The easiest route for them to get to the family home from the castle to the Lin family home was by plane. Qiao Ran was fuming during their journey. Even after her effort to follow the couple, she didn’t even get a glimpse of Lu Han’s face. Instead, she was arranged to another lounge with soundproofing. She couldn’t hear what Lu Han and Guan Tong were doing. 

Meanwhile, Guan Tong was munching on snacks. For some reason, Guan Tong felt that Lu Han treated her exceptionally well these past few days. He often made sure that her meals and snacks were readily available.

“What do you plan to do with Qiao Ran?” Since the two of them were somewhat in love, Guan Tong felt that she should be more sensible and make room for them.

“What do you mean?” Lu Han asked, and Guan Tong felt she might have misunderstood their relationship.

“Do we have to bring Qiao Ran along?” Guan Tong was not worried about anything else, but she felt that Qiao Ran was too much trouble.

“If we really can’t make it possible, we can just kill her.” Lu Han proposed. ‘What?’ When Guan Tong heard Lu Han’s words, she immediately felt that this arrogant man was not only treacherous but vicious too.

“We’ll get to see your grandmother soon.” Lu Han was afraid of scaring the feisty girl in front of him, so he quickly changed the topic.

Guan Tong’s face was full of question marks. This was her grandmother. Why would Lu Han even care about the old woman in the first place? While thinking of her sick grandmother, Guan Tong’s expression darkened. “I wonder how she is doing.”

“Don’t overthink. She’ll be fine.” It was rare for Guan Tong to experience any comfort from Lu Han like this.

“We’ll be with the Lin family in a while. Don’t worry. I’ll be there with you.” Lu Han added. Guan Tong was stunned when she heard Lu Han’s words. How long had it been since she heard something this kind and caring?

“Thank you.” Guan Tong lowered her head. A strand of hair fell down her neck. Lu Han wanted to tuck her hair in, but he feared. She that he would scare the girl away.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Guan Tong opened the door and saw Qiao Ran.

“Sister-in-law, I saw that the medicine was ready, so I brought it here for Brother Han.” Guan Tong sighed. ‘Oh, what a good samaritan?’ 

Before Guan Tong could say anything, Qiao Ran pushed inside the door.

‘Must be nice to be that thin and small, I guess.’ Guan Tong sarcastically thought to herself.

“Brother Han.” Qiao Ran tried to wake Lu Han Up, but he didn’t wake up. A hint of disappointment flashed in Qiao Ran’s eyes. 

“Sister-in-law, you’ve been busy all day. Let me give Brother Han the medicine.” She asked Guan Tong. Although Guan Tong did not like Qiao Ran, she was willing to bear the burden, so Guan Tong didn’t stop her.

“Okay.” As Guan Tong said that, she sat down.

Qiao Ran finally had an opportunity. As long as she acted the right way, she couldn’t imagine how Lu Han would choose that ugly freak over her.

“Eh, why won’t he swallow the medicine?” Qiao Ran fed him a few mouthfuls and found that the medicine was flowing down from the corner of Lu Han’s mouth. Guan Tong looked up. It seemed that Lu Han did not want Qiao Ran to feed him.

“Just put the medicine over there. I’ll do it later.” Guan Tong was not planning on feeding Lu Han. She would just make him drink it himself after Qiao Ran goes away.

Qiao Ran bit her lips and refused to give up. “I’ll try again.” This time, it was a big waste. Qiao Ran wasted even a more considerable amount of medicine in a bowl.

“You’re just wasting the medicine. Now they’ll have to make another bowl.” Although Lu Han had everything on his private plane, he could not waste it like this. Qiao Ran had no choice but to give up. She placed the medicine bowl on the table by the side. Qiao Ran thought that Lu Han did not seem to be conscious. She turned back and stared at Guan Tong.

“Don’t put on a show. When Brother Han wakes up, he’ll kick you out faster than a heartbeat.” Qiao Ran sneered. Guan Tong raised her eyebrows. Lu Han would chase her away when he woke up?

“Then how is it any of your business?” Since Qiao Ran did not want to pretend anymore, Guan Tong felt she did not have to be polite to her either. As for Lu Han, he wasn’t someone who could be controlled. 

“You! Ugh!” Qiao Ran stomped her foot and slammed the door before leaving. Guan Tong shrugged. “This young lady of your family is hard to please.”

“Don’t spout nonsense, you lass. She’s not from our family.” Lu Han opened his eyes and wiped the corner of his mouth. He was spewing out the medicine because he didn’t want Qiao Ran to feed him.

“Drink it yourself.” Right now, Guan Tong’s mind was only occupied with her grandmother. Lu Han saw that Guan Tong was in a bad mood, so he obediently drank the medicine.

Soon, the plane landed in the Capital Airport..
