Jiang Ning had come to find Yan Keyi, and when she saw Yan Keyi calling her, she went over immediately.

"Ningning, please sit down. We were just talking about you."

Zhu Yiyun invited Jiang Ning to sit down and chat. Yan Keyi wanted to know something about Jiang Ning; she had just asked him a question. They hadn't been talking for long when Jiang Ning appeared.

"What are they all saying about me? Are they talking badly about me?"

Jiang Ning was just joking and didn't really mean it, but after she said that, Zhu Yiyun and Yan Keyi fell silent, which also stunned Jiang Ning.

"You guys aren't really talking badly about me, are you? It's one thing to talk badly about me behind my back, but why call me here to talk badly about me to my face?"

Jiang Ning immediately started teasing, which instantly livened up the atmosphere.

"No, no, Mom didn't say anything bad about my sister. I'm just curious about what my sister was like when she was little."

Although she would talk to Jiang Ning about these topics, there was still a big difference between how Jiang Ning saw her and how Zhu Yiyun saw her.

"So, how do you see me in your mother's eyes?"

Following Yan Keyi's words, Jiang Ning turned the conversation to Zhu Yiyun.

“Our Ningning was cuter when she was little, she would follow me around calling ‘Mama, Mama,’ but now that she’s older, she’s not affectionate with me anymore!”

Jiang Ning believed that she was cuter when she was younger, but how could she not believe that she would have followed Zhu Yiyun around calling her "Mom"?

"Mom, are you making this up? I don't recall ever doing anything like this before."

Seeing the puzzled look in Jiang Ning's eyes, Zhu Yiyun burst out laughing.

"No, you're just like your dad. You've always had a serious face since you were little. You only act like a child around Xiao Qin and Xiao Yang."

Zhu Yiyun was indeed tricking Jiang Ning.

She initially thought it was just a joke at Jiang Ning's expense, and that Jiang Ning wouldn't take it seriously. But after hearing her words, Jiang Ning seemed so anxious she was about to jump up, wishing she could shut Zhu Yiyun up.

Jiang Ning and Qin Yiran already knew each other about this, but Jiang Ning had never told Yan Keyi about it.

Yan Keyi always thought that the two of them met because of her.

But if Yan Keyi finds out that he already knows Qin Yiran but pretends not to know her, Yan Keyi will be unhappy, right?

Therefore, Jiang Ning also became nervous immediately.

Originally, Yan Keyi hadn't really thought of this, since just based on the name Qin, she wouldn't immediately associate it with Qin Yiran.

But Jiang Ning's unusual reaction made Yan Keyi feel that something was wrong.

"Sister, are you hiding something from me?"

When Jiang Ning heard Yan Keyi questioning him, he panicked.

If Jiang Ning had remained calm, she wouldn't have thought anything of it. But given her reaction, it's really hard for Yan Keyi not to overthink things.

"Little Qin, do you mean Teacher Qin?"

After carefully recalling what Zhu Yiyun had just said, Yan Keyi immediately grasped the key point.

"yes."

Now that he'd been figured out, Jiang Ning couldn't very well lie to Yan Keyi again. That would only make his crime worse.

"Your sister and Teacher Qin already knew each other?"

Finally, when Jiang Ning heard Yan Keyi ask this question, his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi's expressions, Zhu Yiyun finally realized that something was wrong.

What are you doing here?

Zhu Yiyun looked at Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi with confusion, not knowing what had happened. But judging from their expressions, they seemed to need to talk alone, so Zhu Yiyun gave them some time to be alone.

After Zhu Yiyun left, Jiang Ning relaxed a little, but he was still somewhat afraid to face Yan Keyi.

"I'm sorry, Yiyi, I shouldn't have kept it from you."

After Zhu Yiyun left, Jiang Ning immediately apologized to Yan Keyi.

It was indeed wrong of her to keep this from her, and Jiang Ning admitted her mistake first.

Back then, Jiang Ning's relationship with Yan Keyi wasn't as close as it is now. Jiang Ning was worried that if Yan Keyi knew that Qin Yiran was taking extra care of her because of her, she would feel guilty, so she kept it a secret.

But there wasn't a suitable opportunity to bring it up again, so it was kept a secret.

Seeing that Yan Keyi remained silent, Jiang Ning grew increasingly anxious. She really didn't want any conflict with Yan Keyi, nor did she want to see Yan Keyi unhappy.

But it seems she still made a mistake...

Originally, Yan Keyi only meant to tease Jiang Ning and wasn't really angry with him. But seeing that Jiang Ning seemed a little off, Yan Keyi hugged him.

"It's okay, sister, I'm not angry. I know you're just worried that I'll feel bad. I was just teasing you, I'm not really angry with you, so don't worry."

Hearing Yan Keyi's voice, Jiang Ning finally calmed down.

She seemed to have lost control of her emotions again. If Yan Keyi hadn't noticed in time and calmed her down immediately, Jiang Ning didn't even want to imagine how devastated she would have been.

"Is Yiyi really not angry?"

Hearing Jiang Ning's worried and aggrieved voice, Yan Keyi really felt that even if she was angry, she would calm down!

After being hugged and comforted by Yan Keyi for a while, Jiang Ning's emotions finally calmed down.

"I promise I won't hide anything from you next time."

After Jiang Ning calmed down, she said this as soon as possible.

"No, sister, listen to me. We are all independent individuals, and we all have our own thoughts. You don't have to revolve around me."

At first, Yan Keyi was very happy because of Jiang Ning's care for her.

But as she spent more time with Jiang Ning, and later learned about his past and illnesses, Yan Keyi gradually began to dislike Jiang Ning's care.

It seems that Jiang Ning takes good care of her because he likes her.

But if Jiang Ning takes care of her, who will take care of her own emotions?

She considered everything except herself, which was something Yan Keyi didn't want to see.

Therefore, she had always wanted to change Jiang Ning's mindset.

Today's events were an exception, but the timing seems quite opportune.

Listening to Yan Keyi speak softly to her, Jiang Ning suddenly realized that all the obstacles she thought she had overcome were actually not over.

However, her children are trying their best to help her get through this.
