Upon hearing her address, Helan Yi frowned almost imperceptibly.

Li Yungui nodded happily, "Yes! It's Brother Su Zhan! When we were kids, we used to climb trees with him to catch birds, and go down to the river to catch fish..."

Mother Li smacked him on the head again, "Smack!" "If you keep talking nonsense, you won't be eating!"

Li Yungui realized he had said the wrong thing. Looking at his brother-in-law's dark face, he added, "My sister didn't go into the river; she was watching us from the bank!"

He Lanyi's face darkened further, his expression turning somber, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Li Yunyan glared at Li Yungui, thinking, "Why are you making things worse by trying to explain yourself?"

If she was watching from the shore, wouldn't that mean she saw their wet bodies completely naked?

The scene fell silent for a moment. Li Yungui, with a large bump on his head, finished his meal with a heavy feeling of guilt.

After finishing their meal, they had to go back. Naturally, Li's mother was extremely reluctant to part with them and hugged Li Yunyan, shedding tears once again.

Li Yunyan comforted them, "Father, Mother, Yun Gui, I will come back to see you often in the future!"

Mother Li nodded, glanced at her son-in-law's face, and said, "Don't come back too often. Now that you're married, you should stay home and take care of your husband and grandmother."

Li Yunyan obediently replied, "Daughter understands."

But she still comes back often!

As they escorted her to the door, Li Yunyan stepped out and saw a tall figure standing not far from the entrance.

The boy was tall and handsome, with a strong and masculine appearance. His black hair was not properly tied up, but was just casually tied with a black ribbon, which added a touch of casualness and unruliness to his appearance.

"Brother Zhan?"

He Lanyi stopped in his tracks, his sharp gaze sweeping over the newcomer like a sword's edge.

Su Zhan seemed to have run back from somewhere, still panting heavily, his strong chest rising and falling with his breath, but he still walked towards her with steady steps.

[Ding! A promising young man has been discovered. Host may make him a mission target!]

"There's such a thing as a 'potential stock'?"

[Yes, host! Although he is not outstanding enough yet, he will become an exceptionally outstanding man in the future!]

Li Yunyan thought about what her younger brother had just said, that he would participate in the martial arts examination, so he should pass it, right?

When Li Yungui saw Su Zhan, her eyes were filled with disbelief. "Brother Su Zhan! Aren't you supposed to be at the martial arts school, only coming back once a month? Why are you back today?"

Su Zhan's eyes flickered, and he replied, "I have something to do today, so I'm going home for a visit." But his eyes remained fixed on Li Yunyan.

"Xiao Yan," he called out gently.

His eyes were filled with so many emotions. Li Yunyan wondered why she hadn't noticed it before.

If the original owner of this body had been with him, she probably wouldn't have died of depression.

Li Yunyan looked up at him and gave him a slight smile: "Brother Zhan, I heard you're going to take the martial arts exam. Yunyan wishes you success and a bright future!"

Su Zhan took another step closer to her, and just as he was about to speak, he felt himself being blocked.

He Lanyi stood in front of Li Yunyan with a cold face, his large hand passing through her small hand and interlocking their fingers.

Silently asserting sovereignty.

The two men were of equal height, and when their eyes met, a turbulent undercurrent ran through them.

Looking at the man in front of him, Su Zhan regretted not going to the Li family to propose marriage sooner. While he hesitated, this man took advantage of his situation!

He Lanyi was filled with rage. He thought his anger stemmed from wanting to help his younger brother get rid of the man who was after his wife.

I wish I could fight him!

Seeing the sparks flying between the two, about to ignite, Li Yunyan said gently, "Brother Zhan, this is my husband, Helan Cheng!"

He Lanyi's anger subsided considerably in an instant, but Su Zhan felt an unbearable pain in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at her deeply, with a thousand words in his heart.

But now he had no right to say a single word of those words that had lingered in his heart for so long to her.

All he could say was, "Xiaoyan, if he bullies you, come to me! I'll get revenge for you!"

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Zhan!"

Li Yunyan pulled He Lanyi into the carriage. They couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise she was really afraid that He Lanyi would not give her face and would turn against her!

Even after getting into the carriage, He Lanyi still had a stern face.

Li Yunyan could tell he was very angry.

Recalling what her mother had just said to her, could it be that He Lancheng was actually deeply in love with her, but later suddenly discovered that he had a hidden illness and felt guilty towards her, so he deliberately treated her coldly?

Looking at the hands still intertwined with his, Li Yunyan felt that now was a good time to take his pulse!

Once she knows his illness, she can treat it effectively, and he won't have to feel inferior anymore!

She stealthily raised her other hand and reached towards his arm.

The moment it touched his skin, he abruptly let go.

"Sorry! I wasn't paying attention!"

He thought it was because he had been holding her hand for too long that she was unhappy.

Li Yunyan was annoyed. How could he react so quickly?

If she had just a few more seconds, she could have given it to her!

Never mind! I'll just have to find another opportunity later!

Li Yunyan leaned closer to him and carefully observed the expression on his face. She found that his face was still tense and his anger had not completely dissipated.

"Husband, what are you angry about?"

He Lanyi slowly turned his head to look at her, his eyes cold, and spoke of the biggest thorn in his heart.

"Don't call him that!"

"Huh?" Li Yunyan took a few seconds to react. "You mean, Brother Zhan?"

Seeing the growing displeasure in his eyes after hearing her address, Li Yunyan knew she was right.

Okay! She also realized that calling him that was inappropriate!

After all, that was how she called him when she was a child. Now that she's married, it does seem a bit strange for her to call a man that way anymore.

“Okay, I promise you!” she replied softly.

Seeing how obedient she was, He Lanyi's anger subsided somewhat. He was trying to keep his brother's wife in check and prevent her from getting entangled with other men.

Seeing his expression soften, Li Yunyan immediately seized the opportunity and asked him with a sly smile, "Husband, did you know me before we got married?"

He Lanyi's eyes flickered, and she remembered how her younger brother had mentioned her before he fell into a coma. She nodded.

"So, did you like me back then?"

Looking into her sparkling eyes, He Lanyi nodded again.

Just as I expected!

Li Yunyan was delighted and hugged his arm, asking, "Husband, where have you seen me before? I don't remember at all."

How could He Lanyi know? He simply kept a blank face and remained silent.

Knowing he liked her, Li Yunyan was more affectionate towards him than usual, pinching his arm and muttering, "Like a wooden stake! Never says a word!"

He Lanyi felt that her body was unusually soft as she leaned in, and he felt half of his body go numb.

His face grew even more stern.
