Hearing these words from Zhu Yiyun, Jiang Ning felt her eyes involuntarily fill with tears. Throughout those long years, she and her parents had never reached a consensus.
Now, they have finally accepted the situation and shown her the utmost tolerance. Now, Yan Keyi is by her side.
Seeing Jiang Ning cry, Yan Keyi immediately felt bad. She had never experienced Jiang Ning arguing and separating from her parents because of her sexual orientation.
However, just by listening to the few words Yang Xingsui had described before, and imagining the public's attitude towards homosexuality, she could imagine how much Jiang Ning must have suffered at that time.
"Don't cry, sister. See, everything's alright now."
She awkwardly comforted Jiang Ning, saying that their relationship was now supported by their parents, which was already very good.
Seeing Jiang Ning like this, Zhu Yiyun also felt bad.
During those years when they didn't communicate, Jiang Ning wasn't the only one who suffered. He and his wife were also worried about their daughter, but neither of them was willing to back down.
"Ningning, your mother and I will be at ease as long as you and Keke are doing well."
Unable to bear the sudden dullness of the atmosphere, Jiang Hong finally spoke up, breaking the deadlock.
After calming herself down, Jiang Ning solemnly thanked Jiang Hong and Zhu Yiyun. Regardless of the circumstances, she was still grateful for her parents' tolerance and understanding.
"I'll go upstairs and wash my face first."
After calming herself down, Jiang Ning also wanted to tidy up her appearance. She was still not used to showing her vulnerable side in front of others, even if that person was her parents.
Furthermore, she could tell that Zhu Yiyun wanted to speak with Yan Keyi alone, so she gave them some space. Before Jiang Ning left, Yan Keyi gave her a reassuring look.
"Mom, is there something you want to say to me alone?"
After Jiang Ning went upstairs, Yan Keyi took the initiative to ask.
Although Zhu Yiyun treated her very well, she still couldn't help feeling a little nervous when they were alone together.
"Coco, to be honest with you, my health isn't very good. The doctor said that if my condition remains stable, I can live for another ten years or so, but if it worsens, it's hard to say what the situation will be."
Although Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi knew about this, they only kept it to themselves, because they were afraid that Zhu Yiyun would overthink and worry if he found out.
But the fact that Zhu Yiyun told her directly surprised Yan Keyi.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. Didn't the doctor say that your condition is very stable now? Mom and Dad will definitely live to be a hundred years old together."
However, to avoid Zhu Yiyun finding out, Yan Keyi immediately refuted her words. Hearing Yan Keyi say this, Zhu Yiyun was indeed in a better mood.
"Thank you for your wishes, Coco. I really hope that it will be great. But really, I hope that you and Ningning can be together for a long time, and I hope that you can support each other."
Although talking about forever is really too early for Yan Keyi's age, as a mother, Zhu Yiyun hopes that their relationship can last and that Yan Keyi can always stay by Jiang Ning's side.
Although Jiang Ning has been outstanding since childhood and has never caused them any trouble, sometimes Zhu Yiyun really felt that Jiang Ning was too tough. Even if it wasn't directed at them, Zhu Yiyun hoped that Jiang Ning could let down her guard and show her soft side in front of certain people.
Listening to Zhu Yiyun explain these things to her, Yan Keyi really felt as if she were being entrusted with Jiang Ning's life, a feeling that actually frightened her somewhat. However, she dared not show it in front of Zhu Yiyun.
However, the desire to stay with Jiang Ning was something Yan Keyi wanted to achieve on her own, without Zhu Yiyun needing to emphasize it.
"Alright, honey, that's enough. If you keep talking, you'll scare Coco. Sister Liu's food is almost ready. I'll go upstairs and call Xiao Ning down for dinner."
In the end, it was Jiang Hong who interrupted, finally stopping Zhu Yiyun from continuing.
Yan Keyi wasn't the only one who felt like she was giving her last words; Jiang Hong also felt uneasy about what Zhu Yiyun had said. But the recent test results had all been quite good, hadn't they?
He really didn't want to imagine the worst possible outcomes.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. I'm probably just feeling a bit sad lately. Old man, go and call Ningning down for dinner."
It's no wonder Zhu Yiyun had this worry. Seeing her fellow patients dwindling to just a few left, it's hard not to worry about her own condition.
"Mom, just relax, everything will be alright. By the way, should we tell your sister about this?"
Before coming down from Jiangning, Yan Keyi asked this question, wanting to go all the way.
Zhu Yiyun's answer was that she hoped Yan Keyi could keep it a secret.
However, she will take Yan Keyi's advice and try to maintain a calm mindset. At least, she's been doing quite well lately, hasn't she? Being able to see her daughter often brings her joy.
Jiang Ning didn't know what Zhu Yiyun and Yan Keyi had talked about, but when she came downstairs, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. As long as Yan Keyi hadn't been wronged, that was fine.
"Madam, Sir, and Miss, the meal is ready. We may begin."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Aunt Liu brought out the last dish and quickly invited them to sit down and eat.
Aunt Liu always cooked according to everyone's tastes. During meals, Yan Keyi would always fill Jiang Ning's bowl with the dishes that Jiang Ning liked.
Zhu Yiyun watched from the side, always with a smile on her face.
But why is it always Yan Keyi taking care of Jiang Ning?
"Coco, you should eat too. Your sister isn't without hands, let her pick it up herself."
When Zhu Yiyun said that, Yan Keyi realized that she and Jiang Ning had been acting a little too intimately.
Knowing that the two of them are together is one thing, but being too intimate in front of elders can still make people feel a little awkward.
It's just that I'm so used to being at home that I didn't react immediately.
But Jiang Ning truly felt, once again, that her current status in the family was somewhat precarious, thanks to Zhu Yiyun's words.
She was just picking up some food and she got scolded. She's really pitiful.
However, Jiang Ning felt that this pleasant family atmosphere was something she hadn't experienced in a long time.
"How long do you plan to stay this time? If you don't have anything else to do, you might want to stay longer?"
Jiang Hong tried hard to appear as the head of the family, so as not to seem too insignificant.
"Let's wait until Yiyi goes back to school. During this time, she can stay at home with her mom."
When Jiang Ning said he was coming back for the Chinese New Year, he didn't say how long he would stay. Now that he heard Jiang Ning say he could stay until the start of the new semester, Zhu Yiyun was very happy.
