Su Jianâan held her cheek and thought for a moment, then said, âWhy do I feel that Yuechuan has the tendency to turn into a sister-protecting enthusiast?â
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. âHe already is.â
âPff...â Su Jianâan couldnât help laughing and suddenly thought of something. âBy the way, when will Yuechuan find a girlfriend? He has been single... for a long time.â
âHe has a girlfriend,â Lu Boyan added, âand it has been some time.â
âHuh?â Su Jianâan was surprised, and her reaction was the same as Daisyâs. She asked, âWhen do you think they will break up?â
â...â Lu Boyan was silent for a moment and said, âThis time, Yuechuan is serious.â
â...â Su Jianâan blinked. âWhat do you mean?â
âHe told me today that he wants to find a chance to introduce his girlfriend to us.â
Su Jianâan was in a daze. âAh,â she said, âheâs really serious...â
In the past few years, Shen Yuechuan had been treating life as merely a game to be played. His speed of changing girlfriends was as fast as changing clothes according to the season. But he rarely mentioned his female companions in front of them, let alone introduced one to them.
What kind of girl was she? Not only did she make this playboy single-minded, but she also made him unable to wait to introduce her to his family and friends.
âIn fact, itâs not bad.â Su Jianâan thought for a moment and said, âYunyun is being taken care of by Qin Han, and Yuechuan has a new girlfriend. All of us have found our happiness, right?â
âWell, for them, Iâm not sure.â Lu Boyan held Su Jianâanâs chin and kissed her on the lips quickly. âWe have.â
Su Jianâan pursed her lips and smiled. She took the phone and said, âIâll call Yunyun over for dinner!â
Xiao Yunyun had just gotten off work. Upon receiving Jianâanâs call, she agreed without hesitation. It didnât take long for her to arrive.
Some time ago, she was in a bad state. Xiao Yunyun was afraid that she would expose herself in front of Su Jianâan, so she didnât dare to come over.
Now, she had made the changes and was full of vitality again. As soon as she arrived, she rushed into the kitchen and asked the chef to make soup dumplings for her.
Seeing her like this, Su Jianâan felt that she could rest assured.
During the meal, Lu Boyan said to Xiao Yunyun, âMaybe I should arrange a driver for you to pick you up from work.â
â...You donât have to be so serious.â Xiao Yunyun said with a look of resistance, âIâm just an intern. If you arrange a full-time driver to pick me up from work... my colleagues will think that Iâm a rich manâs mistress!â
âYunyun, itâs not the time to joke,â Su Jianâan said. âTo be safe, it would be better if the driver takes you back and forth from work in the future. What if something like yesterday happens again?â
âThereâs really no need.â Xiao Yunyun gloomily poked the soup dumplings in the steamer. âI just refused Shen Yuechuanâs girlfriend yesterday.â
Su Jianâan was stunned. âDo you know Yuechuanâs girlfriend?â
âYeah. Shen Yuechuan is going to hurt another super-beautiful woman!â Xiao Yunyun picked up a soup dumpling and put it into her mouth. She said while eating, âThat girl is my colleague, but she works in the medical department.â
It seemed that Xiao Yunyun could easily accept the fact that Shen Yuechuan had a new girlfriend.
Su Jianâan could not help but feel a little surprised.
Xiao Yunyun continued to say as if she was indifferent to it, âThat girl is one or two years older than me. Sheâs very nice. Sheâs not the kind of girl that Shen Yuechuan used to date. Sheâs very gentle. I think that many people will envy Shen Yuechuan in the future!â
Su Jianâanâs words hit the nail on the head. âYunyun, can you accept Yuechuanâs new girlfriend as your sister-in-law?â
Xiao Yunyun felt a sharp pain in her heart. She was stunned for a while before she could speak. âYeah... I can... Anyway, sheâs the one Shen Yuechuan likes. My disapproval is useless. Whatâs more, sheâs really nice...â
âShe should be nice.â Su Jianâan nodded. âYuechuan said that he intends to introduce her to us.â
âThat will happen sooner or later.â Xiao Yunyun forced a smile. âYouâll love her!â
Su Jianâan took a sip of the soup and said without principles, âAs long as Xiaoxi says she likes her, I will like her!â
âCousin,â Xiao Yunyun looked at Su Jianâan in confusion, âwhy will you listen to cousin-in-law?â
âIâm too lazy to think about it.â Su Jianâan confessed her laziness. âYour cousin-in-law can tell a personâs nature at a glance. So, it must not be wrong for me to listen to her!â
â... Okay.â
After dinner, Xiao Yunyun didnât stay long. She said that she had to go back to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination and left early.
In fact, her mind was not on the examination at all.
She knew that Shen Yuechuan was serious about Lin Zhixia. But was he really going to introduce Lin Zhixia to his family and friends so soon?
Could he be so sure that Lin Zhixia was qualified to be his wife without spending more time to get to know her better?
Xiao Yunyun understood that she should accept the fact calmly, but things had progressed much faster than she had imagined.
However, what could she do if she couldnât accept it? She couldnât stop it from happening.
Uncle Qian saw that Xiao Yunyun had been absent-minded, so he informed her when they were about to arrive, âMiss, weâre almost there.â
Xiao Yunyun came to her senses and looked out of the window. All she saw was the familiar street view.
She thought for a moment, then asked Uncle Qian to stop the car and said, âIâm going to buy something in the nearby store. I can walk back myself later.â
âBut, Mrs. Lu specially told me to send you to the apartment building.â Uncle Qian looked worried. âWhere are you going shopping? Iâll send you there first. After you buy what you need, Iâll send you home.â
Xiao Yunyun burst into laughter. âUncle Qian, Iâm close to home. Iâm so familiar with the surrounding area. Besides, itâs the downtown area, where there wonât be any danger. Donât worry about me like my cousin does!â
Uncle Qian still did not dare to agree. âBut...â
âDonât say âbutâ.â Xiao Yunyun smiled openly and said, âWhen I get home, Iâll tell my cousin! Donât worry!â
Uncle Qian stopped the car, but he didnât return. Instead, he followed Xiao Yunyun from a distance.
Xiao Yunyun took out her headphones from the bag, put them on, and went straight to a convenience store.
In fact, she didnât have anything to buy. She just wanted to walk around.
In the end, she picked some snacks. She might not necessarily eat them, but keeping them at home could enhance her happiness!
After paying the bill, Xiao Yunyun returned to her apartment.
Xiao Yunyun tapped her card and entered the apartment building. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned around and waved in the direction of Uncle Qian.
She knew that Uncle Qian had been following her, probably because Su Jianâan was worried about her.
In that case, it would be best for her to do it openly, at least to let Su Jianâan be rest assured.
The next day, Xiao Yunyun arrived at the hospital early. When she followed Dr. Liang and finished checking the room, it was already noon.
When she was considering where to eat, she received a message from Lin Zhixia on her mobile phone.
âYunyun, Iâm tired of the food in the canteen. Letâs go out and eat together. I know a great restaurant nearby.â
Well, how could she say no?
Before Xiao Yunyun could come up with an excuse, she heard Lin Zhixiaâs voice. âYunyun!â
Xiao Yunyun shivered all over and looked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, it was Lin Zhixia. She only felt dizzy for a while.
âWhy is this girl... always haunting me?â
âWhat a coincidence to meet you here!â Lin Zhixia took Xiao Yunyunâs hand intimately and said, âLetâs go!â
It was just time for lunch, and the restaurant was crowded. Lin Zhixia said, âWe may have to wait a little longer for the dishes to be served.â
â...â
Xiao Yunyunâs heart crumbled.
Could she not eat with Lin Zhixia? Could she leave right away?
âIt doesnât matter. We can talk a little longer.â Lin Zhixiaâs enthusiasm was just right. âBy the way, have you heard about the news of Zhong Enterprises?â
âIâm not clear about it.â Xiao Yunyun said, âHowever, no matter if Zhong Lue is involved in human trafficking or not, itâs true that he bribed those human traffickers to kidnap me. Itâs better to arrest him, so that he wonât do anything crazy in the future.â
Lin Zhixia smiled and said, âYuechuan is really nice to you. He made such a piece of big news and didnât hesitate to offend Zhong Enterprises in order to avenge you.â
âHe promised my mom to take care of me. Someone bullied me, and he was certainly angry.â Xiao Yunyun forced a bright smile. âHe really cares about you. That day when I went shopping with him, he was always thinking about you! Well, he also bought you a super-cute dress!â
Lin Zhixia pursed her lips, but she couldnât hide the smile. âI received it.â
Xiao Yunyun saw sweetness in Lin Zhixiaâs smile.
Well, she didnât envy Lin Zhixia at all. Why should she be jealous?
âWell, you told me that day there was something special between you and your brother. What is it?â Lin Zhixia said, âHe didnât seem to be very willing to mention it, so I didnât dare to ask him in detail.â
In fact, it was because she had no right to ask Shen Yuechuan, but she was eager to know the truth.
Lin Zhixia hid her feelings very well. She looked like a generous and sensible girlfriend. Xiao Yunyun didnât have any doubts.
âAh, this is my fault.â Xiao Yunyun held her chin, thought for a moment, and then said, âShen Yuechuan should not be willing to mention it. Iâll tell you, in case you accidentally talk about his sad things in the future.â
âWhatâs going on?â Lin Zhixia only wore a look of curiosity.
âShen Yuechuan... actually grew up in an orphanage.â Xiao Yunyun said, âNot long after he was born, his biological father died accidentally. My mother couldnât bear the blow and was unable to raise him... In short, he was sent to an orphanage. Later, my mother married my father and gave birth to me. My mother had been looking for him for a long time. It was not until she returned to China that she accidentally found him and recognized him as her son.â
âSo, didnât you grow up together?â Lin Zhixia suddenly had a bad feeling.
âWe didnât grow up together, and we found out we were related by blood after weâd known each other for a long time.â Xiao Yunyun smiled in disbelief. âIf my mother hadnât told me his family background, I wouldnât have guessed that he was my brother...â
â...â
In an instant, the bad feeling in Lin Zhixiaâs heart grew even stronger.
Many things were connected together. It was more than a coincidence.
But if the truth was as she had expected, then the fact that she was eager to know... was so ironic.
