Chapter 156: The Shen Family's Warning

Yan's mother was sitting next to Yan's father. With so many people looking at her, she had to raise her glass to congratulate him, but she was forcing a smile.

Before the banquet was over, Shen Miaomiao left the banquet early.

After she returned, she was called to the study by Father Shen.

Shen Miaomiao still didn’t understand, so it wasn’t until she saw Shen’s father’s ugly face that she realized that something must have happened.

"Dad, why did you call me back in such a hurry?"

Father Shen sat on the chair and glanced at her coldly with his eyelids raised. This look made Shen Miaomiao feel as if she had fallen into an icy cave. She rarely saw this expression on Father Shen's face, unless she made a big mistake or encountered some difficult things.

She didn't even know how many years had passed, and couldn't remember when this expression appeared on Shen's father's face.

When Shen Miaomiao spoke, her tone became uneasy, "Dad..."

Suddenly, Father Shen slammed the desk heavily and said sternly, "Don't think I don't know. It was you who instigated those people to let Su Jinhui, a bride, perform some talent in front of so many people."

"And those little tricks you did behind my back, do you really think I'm blind?"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Miaomiao trembled, "Dad, why are you saying this to me? I didn't do anything excessive. Besides, it was Song Jia who asked Su Jinhui to perform. These are very common in foreign countries. Isn't it just to liven up the atmosphere that the bride and groom perform their talents?"

At this point, seeing that Shen Miaomiao was still being stubborn, Shen's father directly exposed her little thoughts.

"Is that really the case? How could Song Jia have mentioned this if you hadn't been there to instigate her? How would she know anything about foreign etiquette? Aren't you the only one here who has studied abroad?"

"Miao Miao, you are my daughter. That's why I'm telling you these words of warning. From now on, I won't allow you to provoke the Yan family or Su Jinhui again. Su Jinhui is not someone you can afford to offend, lest it affect the family's career."

"Do you understand?"

At the last sentence, Shen Miaomiao's shoulders trembled. She knew that this was Father Shen warning her.

"Dad, I don't understand. Isn't she just a doctor? Even if she knows Madam Liu, it doesn't mean she has a family like the Liu Jia family backing her up. Our Shen family has been established in the capital for so many years. Are we still afraid of a wild girl from the countryside?"

"absurd!"

Father Shen rubbed his eyebrows. Shen Miaomiao and Su Jinhui were about the same age, so why did these two people have such different brains? He actually hoped that Miaomiao could be half as smart as Su Jinhui.

If he hadn’t gotten some inside information that Su Jinhui had secretly completed the task given by her superiors and had also received attention from the national leaders, he wouldn’t be here to warn Shen Miaomiao now.

"I'll tell you the truth. If you really offend Su Jinhui and do something that harms the Shen family, I won't be able to protect you in the future."

"She's a doctor, sure, but didn't you hear today? She's the one who saved Mr. Liu."

"Nowadays, the country cherishes talents and has spent countless resources and money on them. At this critical moment, you still dare to provoke Su Jinhui. Do you think our family is not dying fast enough?"

Shen Miaomiao's body trembled. Normally, she didn't care much about political matters, but since the provincial vice-chairman had said so, if she talked back, it would seem that she was ignorant.

Then she lowered her head and said weakly, "I understand. I won't look for her from now on."

After the wedding banquet, Yan's mother returned to her room. The familiarity between Su Jinhui and Mrs. Liu in her mind made her face the reality completely.

The Liu family's family background is incomparable to that of the Yan family. Mrs. Liu admires Su Jinhui so much. If she continues to make things difficult for Su Jinhui, even outsiders may think that she, as a mother-in-law, cannot tolerate her own daughter-in-law.

The Yan family will definitely be implicated by then.

No matter how much Yan's mother disliked Su Jinhui, she would not joke about the future of the entire family, but she had to admit it.

After hearing what Mrs. Liu said today, she realized that Su Jinhui was so outstanding.

Late at night, Su Jinhui moved from the guest room to Yan Li'an's bedroom.

She had changed into silk pajamas and had no makeup on her face.

Maybe her little face turned red because she was thinking about what was going to happen next.

As early as when preparing for the wedding banquet, Yan Li'an added a lot of women's things to his bedroom.

Su Jinhui sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. Through the mirror, she could see Yan Li'an, who was also wearing men's silk pajamas, standing behind her.

She stood up and just as she made eye contact with Yan Li'an, her ears began to turn red.

Yan Li'an held her hand and they sat on the bed. When she thought about what was going to happen, her heart began to beat fast.

Yan Li'an fished out a war medal from his pocket and placed it in Su Jinhui's hand. "Do you still remember it? It was given to me by my superiors after I surrounded and suppressed the enemy spies on the island when you told me about their stronghold."

"You also have a share of this medal. I think it would be perfect as a token of our love, so I'm thinking of giving it to you tonight."

Looking at the medal in her hand, Su Jinhui also recalled everything that had happened before.

"I remember, but isn't this medal very important to you? So you just gave it to me like that?"

Yan Li'an chuckled, "I got this because of you. Isn't it normal to give it to you?"

"I regard it as a token of love. Now I give it to you as a token of my friendship."

"Su Jinhui, marry me, I won't let you down."

He looked at Su Jinhui affectionately, then threw her onto the bed and held her fingers.

The full moon outside the window was suddenly blocked by dark clouds. The birds snuggled together on the branches, and even the air became a lot sweeter.

The next day, Su Jinhui woke up in Yan Li'an's arms. As soon as Yan Li'an opened his eyes, he looked into her eyes.

He domineeringly hugged Su Jinhui tighter, "Why did you wake up so early? You can sleep a little longer."

A night of tenderness made Yan Li'an's voice more mellow. Su Jinhui buried her face in his arms in shame. After a while, she pushed him away and sat up from the bed.

"Although the wedding banquet is over, it doesn't mean I have a vacation. Now that the boss knows that you and I are married and have held a wedding banquet, it's naturally not an excuse to use this anymore."

"Besides, I showed up yesterday, and Madam Liu praised me so highly. I'm sure this has attracted the attention of many powerful and influential people. Who knows what will happen next."

Yan Li'an sat up and held her in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder. "What are you afraid of? I just want to get to know you better."

"But some people are used to a life of luxury and inevitably develop a lot of problems. Then someone will definitely come to you for medical treatment. I don't want you to work so hard, so you'd better find an excuse to refuse."
