She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Just a dream.

All the panic, fear, and despair just now were only in my dream.

But I clearly remember all the feelings, the emotions spread beyond the dream, deep and clear.

I hugged Nannan tightly, feeling her strong heartbeat and slightly rapid breathing, smelling the faint milky fragrance on her body, and my heart slowly settled down: "Yes, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that I lost Nannan, and I was very worried."

"It's not lost, it's not lost, Nannan is in Xuxu's arms, don't be afraid, Xuxu." Nannan's little hand gently patted my back, coaxing me softly like a child, "Nannan is obedient, Nannan won't wander around, she won't be lost."

"Okay, Nannan, you must be obedient. Nannan, don't walk around. Xuxu doesn't want to lose Nannan." I wrapped her tighter, rested my chin on her little shoulders, closed my eyes, and exhaled deeply and slowly.

Fortunately it was just a dream. If it were reality, I really wouldn’t dare to imagine it.

"Nannan doesn't want to leave Xuxu either, so she won't get lost." Nannan smiled and coaxed me, "Don't be afraid, Xuxu, I'll give you the Transformers to play with, and Bumblebee will protect us."

My mood improved a bit at this point. Although I let go of Nannan, I still held her in my arms. She held up a yellow Transformer to show me: "This is Bumblebee. It's super powerful. Look, he can transform!"

Nannan is very good at hands-on work. She flexibly showed me the process of Bumblebee's transformation and looked at me with expectant eyes.

But I stared at the Bumblebee in her hand, and my heart, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. That was the Transformer sent by Zhou Hanzhi. Is this man here again?

Why does he want to get close to Nannan? He will bring disaster to Nannan!

"Zhou Hanzhi? Is he here again?" I hugged my daughter tightly in my arms again and threw the Transformer to the ground. "Get him out of here and don't let him get close to my daughter again!"

Nannan didn't expect me to do this suddenly. She was startled. The expression on her little face changed from expectation to astonishment. She called out weakly, "Xuxu..."

"Sister, Zhou Hanzhi didn't come. Don't worry, he didn't get close to Nannan." Yuan Tianye's voice sounded beside me, gently comforting me.

At this moment, my aunt and uncle came in from outside. After hearing what I said, my aunt hurried over to comfort me: "Don't worry, Xuxu, Zhou Hanzhi didn't come today."

"Hmph, if he, if he dares to come, I will sweep him out with a broom!" My uncle also shouted in a rough voice.

When I heard them confirm that Zhou Hanzhi did not come today, my tense heart finally settled down a little. It's good that he didn't come. It would be best if he never gets close to my daughter again. Only then can I be truly relieved.

At this moment, I noticed that Yuan Tianye was actually beside me. I was stunned: "Xiao Ye, why are you here, and when did you come?"

Xiao Ye got drunk last night. I received a call from my aunt and rushed to the hospital, leaving him alone in the lounge. I didn't expect that when I woke up, he appeared beside me and was busy comforting me. I looked at him and felt very guilty.

I still don’t know how he managed to get through last night. He drank too much and must have felt very uncomfortable.

"I was so happy last night that I got drunk and confused, and I couldn't help my sister. When I woke up in the morning, I learned from Aunt Zhang that something happened in my sister's family, so I pestered her to tell me the specific address, so I rushed over." Yuan Tianye looked at me, and his peach blossom eyes were actually full of guilt at the moment. "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't show up by your side when you needed me. I really failed in my duty as a boyfriend."

This silly kid, he actually apologized to me.

How could he have failed in his duty? He has always done a good job and I am still worried about his health.

But before I could say anything, I heard two voices say in unison: "Boyfriend?"

My aunt and uncle were both shocked and bewildered. My aunt asked anxiously, "Xu Xu, are you in love?"

"Xu Xu, is this brother your boyfriend?" Nannan also opened her eyes curiously and asked me, "What is a boyfriend? Is he the kind of boyfriend who will kiss, hug and make babies?"

Ono's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.

I sat on the bed, feeling my cheeks getting hot and embarrassed. I opened and closed my mouth but couldn't utter a word of explanation.

When I asked Xiao Ye to pretend to be my boyfriend and girlfriend, I just wanted to deceive Zhou Hanzhi and Zhou Pinzhi, and also wanted Yan Dong to give up, but I never considered what my aunt and uncle would think after they knew about this.

In fact, I never expected that my aunt and uncle would know about this!

I never thought that Xiao Ye would reveal our relationship in front of my aunt and uncle...

"Yes, aunt and uncle, I am Xuxu's boyfriend. I officially took office yesterday." I was so embarrassed that my face was burning, but Yuan Tianye was very calm and composed. He bent down to my aunt and uncle with a smile on his face and shook their hands with both hands. "My name is Yuan Tianye, you can just call me Xiaoye. From now on, we are a family. Aunt and uncle, please tell Xiaoye if you have any questions."

The surprise on my aunt and uncle's faces had not yet disappeared, but both of them began to look Yuan Tianye up and down, and soon a look of satisfaction appeared on their faces. They looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Yuan Tianye usually looks very lively, but today he was particularly polite. He shook hands with his aunt and uncle, and did not forget Nannan. He held Nannan's little hand and said very seriously: "Yes, Brother Xiaoye is Xuxu's boyfriend. He is the kind of boyfriend who will kiss, hug and make babies, and the kind of boyfriend who will love Nannan with her."

"Yeah, then do I have another family member?" Nannan's reaction was faster than her aunt and uncle. She had a pair of bright big eyes, full of joy.

"Yes, there is one more person who loves Nannan." Yuan Tianye smiled very gently, and his peach blossom eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"Good, very good." Auntie also reacted at this moment. She held Yuan Tianye's hand and said excitedly, "I have seen you a few times before, and I thought you were a good guy at that time, but I didn't dare to think too deeply... We are really happy that you can be with Xuxu, protecting her and taking care of her!"

"Well! Okay, Xiao, Xiao Ye is also good! Anyway, they are better than that one, better than that Zhou Hanzhi!" There was a light flashing in my uncle's eyes, and he nodded heavily, agreeing with my aunt's words.

The atmosphere in the ward was warm and harmonious, as if we had really become a family. I looked at everyone smiling happily, but I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

Now everyone is very happy, but it is fake after all. How can I explain it to my aunt and uncle? Will they be disappointed or angry?

I was still struggling with my anxiety when a sharp voice suddenly came from the door of the ward: "Meng Nanxu, you have such a cruel heart!"
