When they first met, you were like a song in the cold south, healing me night after night as I lingered in hell.
Seven-year-old Nan Sheng found Yin Han in a cold alley corner and extended her...
late at night.
Looking at the sleeping girl in his arms, Yin Han's heart melted, and he couldn't help but lean down and kiss her.
Nan Sheng, still half asleep, felt a tickle and stirred, snuggling even closer into Yin Han's arms.
Yin Han, whose anger hadn't subsided, felt it rise even higher. He kissed the person heavily, and only after confirming that they hadn't woken up did he carefully stand up and head straight for the bathroom.
*****
The two lingered in the cabin for two days before leaving.
On Sunday, before school started, Nan Sheng went home, as did Yin Han, who also went home to visit his grandmother.
As soon as I got home, I saw Grandma Li busy in the kitchen.
"Grandma, I'm back."
Yin Han called out to the kitchen from the shoe-changing entrance, and then saw Li Xiaomei come out wearing an apron.
"Xiaohan is back. Did you have fun with Shengsheng?"
Yin Han nodded and then frowned, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Grandma, didn't I say you didn't need to cook?"
Li Xiaomei waved her hand and smiled kindly: "It's alright, Grandma is just bored. Besides, you've started going to school now, so Grandma has less time to cook for you. You can eat Grandma's cooking without worry."
"good."
Yin Han didn't say much. Li Xiaomei smiled and went back to the kitchen to continue working. Yin Han took out his phone to send a message and then went into the kitchen to help.
Although Yin Han didn't talk much, he always answered Li Xiaomei's questions, and the two of them had an exceptionally warm and happy time in the kitchen.
"Xiaohan, are you managing to balance studying and work?"
"Can."
"Take care of your health. Food is essential for life. No matter how busy you are, you must make time to eat."
"good."
"Although you and Sheng Sheng are not in the same major, you are in the same school. You need to keep a close eye on Sheng Sheng. She is so pretty and well-behaved, she might attract unwanted attention. But you also need to work hard yourself."
"I will."
"......"
After the two finished lunch, Yin Han went to get the medicine and gave it to Li Xiaomei.
"Grandma, shall I ask someone to come and keep you company?"
After watching his grandmother take the medicine, Yin Han spoke in a deep voice.
"No, Grandma, this is a good idea. We don't need to spend that money. We can save it to marry Shengsheng sooner."
Li Xiaomei immediately refused.
"Grandma, I have money. I won't be home after I go to school, and I'm worried about leaving you alone. I can help you if anything happens, so don't worry about money."
"Okay, okay, Grandma will listen to you."
Li Xiaomei saw Yin Han's insistence and said nothing more, so she had no choice but to go along with him.
After persuading her grandmother, Yin Han returned to her room, took out her phone, and dialed a number.
"Brother-in-law? What brings you here to call me?"
As soon as the call connected, Su Chuanlin's shocked and puzzled voice came from the other end.
Undeniably, every time Su Chuanlin called him "brother-in-law," it made Yin Han's lips curl into a smile.
"Um."
Yin Han responded in a low voice.
"I'd like to invite Aunt Liu."
Upon hearing Yin Han's words, Su Chuanlin understood his meaning: "Is it Grandma Li?"
"Yes, I think Aunt Liu is quite nice."
During her time in Beicheng, Yin Han knew Aunt Liu very well, and her grandmother was also very familiar with her.
"You really have a keen eye. Aunt Liu is someone I brought from the Su family. People trained by the Su family are never bad."
"Well, that's to trouble you."
Yin Han didn't hold back at all; after all, he had heard from his brother-in-law that his brother-in-law was the most supportive of them.
On the other side, Su Chuanlin sighed helplessly. Sure enough, what the older generation said was right. You can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people. She has the same personality as his sister. What can he, as her older brother, do but spoil her?
It's just one person, isn't it? He gave it to me.
"Okay, the person will report for duty the day after tomorrow."
Su Chuanlin immediately added after speaking, "But what about the thing I asked you to do last time?"
Yin Han raised an eyebrow, recalling Nan Sheng's words: "Yes, her salary increased, so she chose to live on campus."
"OK."
After finishing his business, Yin Han said goodbye to Li Xiaomei and drove off.
He arrived at the Bai Group and was greeted by a female professional in a suit as soon as he got downstairs. This was Bai Huoye's assistant. Unlike last time, the way people looked at him was completely different this time, simply because they had all seen the news about the Nan family and heard their boss's greeting.
There was a hint of respect in his eyes as he looked at Yin Han.
However, Yin Han didn't care about any of that and followed the person to the office.
When Bai Huoye saw Yin Han enter, he didn't lie on the sofa as before, but immediately stood up.
"Hey, little brother Han, you've finally arrived!"
Bai Huoye wanted to reach out and hug her, but Yin Han dodged him.
Yin Han sat down on the sofa, and as usual, took out his phone to send a message to Nan Sheng. Only after sending the message did he put his phone away.
"Your sister must have already told you the reason, but it seems you haven't received her apology yet."
Yin Han got straight to the point.
"I know, I know. I've already scolded her and stopped her allowance. As for apologizing, I'll do it as soon as possible. You know, she's a girl, spoiled since she was little, and incredibly rebellious."
Bai Huoye gets a headache whenever he talks about his sister, and Yin Han just won't let it go. Now, it's even harder to get him to do a few more designs.
Bai Huoye realized that it was no wonder this kid was so ambitious; his business acumen far surpassed his own.
This is why Bai Huoye's attitude towards Yin Han changed so suddenly.
A dark glint flashed in Yin Han's eyes; he didn't care at all about what Bai Huoye had said.
After Nan Sheng told Yin Han about this that day, Yin Han appeared to be listening, but in reality, he investigated and found the video of Nan Sheng entering the restaurant.
Yin Han witnessed Bai Siyao's constant use of the derogatory term "bitch" and how she insulted Nan Sheng.
In addition, Yin Han noticed that Nan Sheng's behavior and the way he looked at Bai Siyao were exactly the same as how he treated Lu Zhicheng.
The look in her eyes, which seemed to hold a deep-seated hatred, made Yin Han feel uneasy. He wanted to know if something had happened. He didn't like Nan Sheng hiding things from him; he didn't like this feeling.
