Family relationship chart of male and female protagonists In the castle, In the morning, Fatima prepared breakfast and went to the third floor to Nan Sichan's bedroom, following the spiral staircase. She rhythmically knocked on the bedroom door, and Nan Sichan's gentle voice came from inside, "Please come in." Fatima entered the spacious bedroom, passed through the glass sliding door, and arrived at the balcony. The balcony was large with an expansive view, offering a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Qiandao Lake. At this moment, Nan Sichan was sitting elegantly on a canvas chair, legs crossed, gazing at the lake with rippling blue waves. The sunlight sprinkled on him, radiant and dazzling. A gentle breeze brushed through his soft hair, and a few strands fell on his porcelain-like forehead, enhancing his serene and picturesque appearance. Fatima admired once again, the Galomi family, from Charles to James, and now Nan Sichan and his brother Nan Haoyu, were all exceptionally handsome and exuded an elegant and extraordinary demeanor. With a professional and amiable smile, Fatima was about to approach when her peripheral vision caught something that sharply contrasted with the elegant surroundings: a blue bedsheet! The bedsheet was draped over the balcony railing, semi-wet, fluttering and rolling with the autumn wind. Washing bedsheets on the balcony of the young master's room was indeed a peculiar sight. Feeling puzzled, Fatima turned her gaze to Nan Sichan and noticed that he was wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt rolled up to his elbows. He had wooden sandals on his feet, slightly damp. Despite the seemingly casual attire, it perfectly indicated that the young master had done something early in the morning: washing the bedsheets, and with his hands! This realization startled Fatima! Imagining the young master rolling up his sleeves to wash the bedsheets... For her, who had served the Galomi family for sixteen years, accustomed to the noble and elegant image of the masters, this matter was somewhat beyond her acceptance. However, she quickly realized. The day before yesterday, when she was organizing the yacht, one of the bedrooms had a bed with blue bedsheets. She remembered the sheets being a bit wrinkled and took the initiative to smooth them out. But why would the young master wash this particular bedsheet? Could someone have slept on it? Could it be... a girl? Perhaps someone got drunk and dirtied the sheet? "Cough, cough!" Ceasing the speculation about the master's private affairs, Fatima cleared her throat twice and spoke conventionally, "Master Lawrence, breakfast is ready. It's a simple cheese toast with two sunny-side-up eggs." Nan Sichan, who had been gazing at the blue lake and sky, reminiscing about yesterday's date with Lan Nianyun and savoring every romantic detail, finally withdrew his wandering thoughts and stood up slowly. Elegant and refined, he smiled faintly, "Fatima, I will have to drive back to Boston City after breakfast." His affectionate gaze shifted to the bedsheets on the balcony. Even his voice softened as he issued instructions, "When this bedsheet is dry, fold it neatly and put it in the closet in my bedroom. Don't forget." Fatima twitched the corner of her mouth, slightly lowered her head to conceal the laughter in her eyes, and replied, "Certainly, Master Lawrence, I will handle this matter properly." Around nine in the morning, Nan Sichan set out from Qiandao Lake and arrived in Boston City in the evening. This ancient city with a history of four hundred years was adorned with lush trees, numerous fountains, flowing ponds, and picturesque scenery. It was also home to two of the world's most famous universities: Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), nestled along the beautiful Charles River. Nan Sichan parked his Subaru sports car in the school's parking lot, inconspicuous among the densely packed luxury cars. More than two years ago, Nan Sichan came from Paris, France, to Boston City in the United States to pursue a master's degree in finance at this prestigious school, using the name Lawrence Nan. He usually lived in the school's dormitory, leading a life no different from an ordinary student, and no one knew about his aristocratic background. However, his mixed-race handsome face, elegant manners and demeanor, and his prideful and noble temperament made him stand out among the many students. In school, Nan Sichan liked to keep to himself. The only person who could be considered his friend was his classmate and roommate David, an overseas student from Hongcheng, China. Entering their two-bedroom, one-living-room dormitory, Nan Sichan put down his bag. Seeing David checking financial data on the computer, he raised an eyebrow, silently asking what happened. "Professor just released the list of students going to Wall Street in New City for the next month's internship. Both you and I are on the list." "Anyone else?" Nan Sichan's questions were always concise. "One more girl from our department, Jessie." "Hmm." Nan Sichan's mind flashed with the image of a petite and exquisite girl, also of Chinese descent. But he wasn't familiar with Jessie. She was not close to him or David, and he didn't know why the professor grouped them three together for the internship. However, he didn't care much. In his world, there were only a handful of women he cared about—his grandmother Qin Bixian, his mother Nan Qingming, his aunt Jenny, and the girl he had been thinking about for the entire eight-hour drive today. His lips involuntarily curved up at the thought of Lan Nianyun. Seeing his absent-minded expression again, seemingly indifferent to the news David had just shared, David couldn't help but sneer. This person, they had been living together for more than two years, yet he always maintained the airs of a high-born master. However, as his only friend in school, David had managed to uncover some of Nan Sichan's inner secrets... A sly glint flashed in David's eyes. Pretending to be casual, he said, "You know, the Harvard Business School also sent several master's students to intern on Wall Street with us. The internship locations are the same." Sure enough, Nan Sichan's gaze flickered slightly. In his calm and composed tone, he asked, "Do you know the list?" "Haha," hitting the mark on Nan Sichan's thoughts, David felt very proud, "Lawrence, are you interested?" Nan Sichan glanced at him and lightly sneered, "You don't have to say it. As long as you can hold back!" With that, he picked up the car keys from the shoe cabinet, "I'm going to the western restaurant by the riverside for dinner. Do you want to join?" David immediately stood up, licked his lips, and grinned, "Are you treating me?" "No, it's Dutch." Nan Sichan decisively refused. "Ah?" David immediately exclaimed indignantly, "What, is the news I'm about to tell you not worth a dinner?" Nan Sichan's tone was cool, "I can't determine if it's valuable or just trash until I hear the accurate information." David pointed at him and gritted his teeth, "Fine, fine, I'll give you credit for being shrewd!" ------ Sidebar ------ In this chapter, let's clarify the family relationships of the male and female leads: Male lead: Lawrence de Galomi (Chinese name Nan Sichan) Grandfather: Charles de Galomi (Current Earl) Grandmother: Qin Bixian Father: James de Galomi Mother: Nan Qingming Aunt: Jenny de Galomi Younger brother: Oliver de Galomi (Chinese name Nan Haoyu) -- Female lead: Lan Nianyun (English name Cindy) Father: Lan Jun Mother: Su Yijia Aunt: Su Yueqing Younger brother: Lan Huan ---------------------------------------- Title of this chapter: Why is the male lead concerned about the internship list of Harvard Business School?
