Chapter 15 Undercurrents are surging

The appearance of this kind of thought made the old man hesitate a little, and after a little contemplation, he finally gave up the original rough plan to beat the mandarin ducks for the time being.

However, some of the intimidation and tests that should be there are still indispensable.

"I guess you should guess, I know very well where you come from, what you've been through, and what you've been doing lately."

The old man's gaze was full of scrutiny at the moment.

"I know Nana so well, both in terms of personality and way of doing things! Obviously, what little Kluet (Uncle Annina) told me, and what she has done with you lately, is clearly not of her own volition, but rather for you."

Some cloudy eyes were shining inexplicably at the moment, as if they wanted to see through everything about Dong Xuan.

"Therefore, as an elder, and as the current patriarch of the Coente family, I am curious, why did you charm my Coente family's little heart, and even let her do it to such an extent for you?!"

At this moment, the air seemed to be frozen, but before Dong Xuan, who also had a cold glint in his eyes, could think of a statement, the old man who originally had a serious face as if he would drop his cup in the next second and call for someone to split Dong Xuan's five horses suddenly gave up and continued to ask, and snorted coldly and lay back on the rocking chair.

"Lies are meaningless in the face of an old man who has lived as long as I do, and I have always believed that words are never as important as actions. Little one, I don't need you to give me an answer right now, at least prove to me that I am worthy of Anina, and that her choice is not wrong! If you do, for the sake of the little baby, I, the old man, will give you a surprise that will satisfy you, otherwise"

Leaving a meaningful orelse, the old man closed his eyes and put on a posture of sending off guests, and Dong Xuan, who had already felt unbearable pain all over his body, raised his eyebrows when he saw this, saluted out of politeness, and then hurriedly turned around and left with discomfort.

He had already gotten what he wanted, and it was useless to stay here, and most importantly, he was really afraid that he would faint in front of this old fox without control, and it would be a lot of fun!

"What did my grandfather tell you?"

As soon as he pushed open the door, Dong Xuan heard Annina's voice in his ears.

"Guess what?!"

He was about to laugh, but the sudden outpouring of exhaustion and pain made him tremble faintly.

"Damn, I didn't expect the sequelae to come so quickly"

Dong Xuan tried his best to control his body and prevent others from seeing his strange appearance to prevent inducing some people's ill-intentioned thoughts, but obviously, this would definitely not be able to hide from Anina, who was very familiar with him. "He didn't embarrass you?"

Looking at Dong Xuan who pushed the door out, Anina, who had just returned, hadn't noticed anything at first, but the next moment, this careful woman instantly noticed Dong Xuan's strange appearance - this guy not only had a dilated look in his eyes, but even walked a little unsteadily!

"What's going on?!"

Her heart tightened, and although countless doubts crossed her mind, Anina realized very calmly at the moment that this was definitely not a good opportunity to ask!

She actually noticed some undercurrents in the family, so in the face of her grandfather who was close at the door and those servants who seemed to be casual but had been listening to all kinds of news for a long time, she even had to try to cover it up, without exposing Dong Xuan's current abnormal situation, otherwise she might not know what kind of changes would be caused.

"Honey, how about I take you to see my old room?"

While saying in a coquettish tone, Anina grabbed Dong Xuan's arm and leaned over unusually naturally.

However, Anina seemed to be snuggling up to Dong Xuan, but in fact, she was trying to help Dong Xuan, who was already semi-unconscious, support his body that was about to crumble, and led him to a room not far away in an almost dragging way.

With superb acting skills, the whole process naturally made the several maids who were almost close to each other meet halfway without finding the slightest flaw, and they were still busy with their own affairs, which made Annina, who had been nervous, breathe a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, this guy is not the kind of Roshan who is seriously overweight, otherwise it would be really finished"

However, Dong Xuan's weight is not heavy, and it is also important that Anina has never taken off the pair of crystal earrings that enhance strength and agility since she obtained them from him.

Otherwise, without the increase of equipment, with her original strength that couldn't even carry a bag of rice, it was estimated that Dong Xuan would not be able to walk on the road would have been exposed.

"But what's going on with him like this, could it be that someone poisoned him?!"

Thinking of this, Anina, who was supporting Dong Xuan, suddenly sank in her heart, but thinking about how much her grandfather loved her, he vetoed the possibility of the old man doing such a thing. "Even if I don't like Dong Xuan anymore, for my sake, my grandfather shouldn't do this kind of thing directly."

What's more, with Annina's understanding of the elderly, even if she really tears her face, cultivated by her grandfather's background as a fighting hero, even if she can't change her temperament after so many years of arguing with those councilors, the dozens of heavily armed bodyguards in the courtyard are undoubtedly much easier to use than poisoning, a small trick that he can't look down on."

What's more, according to the data that Anina learned after cooperating with Dong Xuan in various tests, with his body's special resistance (actually the power of mana), under normal circumstances, ordinary poisons could not help him at all?

"But is there really such a powerful poison outside? You know, my grandfather is probably not the only one who wants my boyfriend to have an accident."

Those cousins who had been eyeing him for a long time, as well as the guys from other families, obviously had the same motive to buy off the servants to do something to him after knowing Dong Xuan's existence

Thinking of this, she became more and more uneasy, and at the same time, she felt very regretful for calling Dong Xuan here.

It can be said that looking at Dong Xuan in a semi-comatose state, the more Anina thought about it, the more worried about the safety around her, and even those distant relatives or several old housekeepers became the object of her suspicion, in her eyes, the entire quiet and peaceful manor became a terrible Longtan tiger's den in an instant

This is an instinct that has been instilled in a large family since childhood, and even if she no longer likes these, the seeds of this doubt have long been planted in her heart.

"I don't know if his body can hold up, why don't you just call Cohen and Andrew?"

It is said that girls are outgoing, and now it is reflected at this time, for the safety of Dong Xuan, Annina did not think about what kind of harm she would cause to her relatives by doing this.

But fortunately, when Anina hesitated to take out the phone and try to dial, Dong Xuan came to her senses in time and stopped her.

Just kidding, it was hard to calm the old guy, if Anina really asked those men to come and clash with the bodyguards in the manor, then he would have no choice but to go to war.

"Don't worry, I've just been using too much power lately, and it's a little uncomfortable that I haven't rested well, so we'll leave right away after a while here."

Since Dong Xuan said so, Anina, a smart woman, naturally would not let the weak him be distracted and continue, but while being vigilant about the situation outside the door, she was very considerate to take off Dong Xuan's coat and shoes, so that he could lie comfortably on the pink velvet bed.

Dong Xuan slept directly until dusk.

The body strengthened by mana is still very strong in terms of recovery ability, this kind of injury where the whole body is in a mess is estimated to be at least a coma for a few days, but for Dong Xuan, if there is such a thing as blood, a nap will allow him to recover at least one-fifth of his blood bar.

"The bed was so soft, it felt so much better to sleep"

Dong Xuan, who hadn't slept so deeply for a long time, couldn't help but stretch, but when he opened his eyes, his heart jumped.

Because, he saw that the whole person was leaning to the side, because of the exhaustion and had fallen asleep, the frowning brows and the worry on her face even if she was still asleep, were so poignant against the last afterglow of the sunset, that his heart couldn't help but touch hard. "It's the hardest thing to be graced by a beauty"

Suddenly, Dong Xuan's resentment towards the troubles that had come out because of her all melted away like spring snow at this moment

He watched her quietly for an hour, until Anina woke up on her own.

However, Anina, who was obviously frightened, was not as laid-back as he was. "We need to get out of here, I don't feel safe here"

Unable to resist the stubborn gaze of the lovely man in front of him full of worry and love, Dong Xuan finally had to compromise obediently, and even did not taste the cooking skills of several French chefs in the villa who had been praised by Anina many times before, and hurriedly ended the first trip to the Encott family manor with an empty stomach under the gaze of countless secret eyes

If it is a tragedy to be dragged by someone for a day while hungry, then what is even more tragic for Dong Xuan is that the next day, he who had already recovered most of the most seriously damaged internal organs, had to go to the hospital under the compulsion of Annina, and as a result, he was labeled by the doctors in a blink of an eye with a diagnosis report of irregular life and sub-health in need of recuperation.

However, what happened next made Dong Xuan understand in an instant, that report was made for the patient's face to be shown to outsiders, and the real point was not here at all.

Faced with the gesture that the middle-aged doctor made to himself and the ambiguous expression of "you know" on his face when the enchanting and charming Anina was called away by the nurse, Dong Xuan resisted the urge to kill him with great perseverance

"Death of your sister!"

And what made him even more devastating was that a shrewd Anina didn't know what was going on, and actually took the diagnosis seriously

is completely in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions, Annina directly accompanies him 24 hours a day, and even looks at him when he goes out, but in the face of Dong Xuan's expulsion, she has a beautiful name to take care of patients who need recuperation
