Knowing that Jiang Ning had other matters to attend to, Principal Lin did not linger.
Following closely behind Jiang Ning, Yan Keyi will soon be visiting the places where Jiang Ning used to study and live.
"Sister, should I buy something when I go to your house? Is it really appropriate for me to go empty-handed?"
As she got into the car and got closer to Jiang Ning's home, Yan Keyi thought of this matter.
It seemed rather impolite to visit someone's home for the first time without bringing anything. Especially since these were Jiang Ning's parents, Yan Keyi couldn't help but feel even more self-conscious.
In addition, Yan Keyi had already received her payment for filming "The Long Spear," and she wanted to buy some gifts for Jiang Ning's parents.
"It's alright, no need. They don't need anything. We can just go."
Jiang Ning said this partly because he didn't want Yan Keyi to worry, and partly because her parents lacked nothing and didn't care about such formalities, so there was no need to prepare these things.
However, even after Jiang Ning said that, Yan Keyi still felt uncertain.
When they passed a shopping mall, Jiang Ning stopped the car for a moment so she could buy some fruit gift boxes and the like.
Although Jiang Ning repeatedly explained to Yan Keyi that it wasn't necessary, he couldn't help but let the child be anxious and uncertain, so he let her have her way.
Given her parents' personalities, even if they knew about her relationship with Yan Keyi, they would at most have a problem with her, but they wouldn't have any problem with Yan Keyi, a young girl.
After arriving home, Jiang Ning went to park the car first. It was still quite a distance to walk back, so he thought he would let Yan Keyi get out of the car first. If she wanted, she could go in first, and if she was scared, she could wait for her to come with her.
When Jiang Ning returned after parking the car, she saw Yan Keyi nervously pacing back and forth at the door, which made her chuckle.
Those who didn't know better would think she was visiting her future in-laws as his girlfriend.
However, Jiang Ning only dared to think this in his heart; he would never dare to let Yan Keyi know.
Why do you seem so nervous?
Yan Keyi, who had been hesitating in place, didn't even notice that Jiang Ning had arrived, which would have been impossible under normal circumstances.
Yan Keyi always seemed to have a GPS tracker installed on her, able to find her as soon as she appeared.
But even now, with Jiang Ning right behind her, she hadn't noticed him, which shows how nervous she was.
Yan Keyi was startled by Jiang Ning's sudden close-range attack.
"Sister, you're so naughty! You scared me!"
Yan Keyi was already nervous, and Jiang Ning's teasing almost scared her to death. Her aggrieved expression was practically overflowing.
After coaxing and comforting Yan Keyi for a while outside the door until she was less nervous, he finally led her inside.
"Mom and Dad, I'm home."
Having probably learned from Yang Xingsui that Jiang Ning would be returning today, Zhu Yiyun and Jiang Hong had been waiting for some time. As soon as Jiang Ning called out, they looked up from the sofa in the living room.
Suddenly meeting Jiang Hong and Zhu Yiyun's gaze, the emotions that Jiang Ning had just soothed tensed up again. Jiang Hong, having been in a high position for so long, could indeed be intimidating to those unfamiliar with him, who saw him with a perpetually sour face.
Hello, Uncle and Aunt.
Standing at the door, Yan Keyi greeted the two of them reservedly.
Zhu Yiyun probably noticed Yan Keyi's nervousness and also saw that Jiang Hong's expression wasn't very good.
What they knew was that Jiang Hong always had this expression, never showing his emotions, but what they didn't know was that they didn't want to frighten the child.
If what that Yang family boy said is true, this little girl isn't even an adult yet. No wonder she's afraid of Jiang Hong.
He nudged Jiang Hong with his elbow, signaling him to tone it down a bit so as not to scare people, but Jiang Hong's expression was always like that. If he were forced to put on a fake smile, it would probably be even more frightening.
However, judging from their behavior, they probably didn't dislike her, which made Yan Keyi relax a little.
"Miss is back! This must be Miss Yan. Why are you all standing at the door? Please come in and sit down."
In the end, it was Aunt Liu who stepped in and welcomed Yan Keyi in.
"That's right, Xiao Yan, come and sit down. Just make yourself at home."
Following Aunt Liu's suggestion, Zhu Yiyun called Yan Keyi over.
Yan Keyi glanced at Jiang Ning hesitantly, and only after receiving an encouraging look from her did she dare to walk towards Zhu Yiyun.
"Auntie, I didn't know what you needed, so I bought some fruit. I hope you won't mind."
After thinking it over, Yan Keyi decided to give up on Jiang Hong for now. Although it was a bit impolite, she was indeed a little afraid of him.
Zhu Yiyun found it even more interesting, and her face lit up with a smile.
Sure enough, she's still more likable than her old man.
"It's alright, Xiao Yan. Your uncle and I don't need anything. We're just glad you came to visit us."
Zhu Yiyun said these things to Yan Keyi partly because she didn't want Yan Keyi to be too nervous, and partly because she genuinely hoped that they could come and visit them more often.
During those years when things fell apart with Jiangning, everyone was actually feeling terrible, and no one was willing to back down.
They had finally managed to improve their relationship, but seeing that Jiang Ning was still alone, they were actually quite anxious.
After learning about Yan Keyi's existence from Jiang Ning, Zhu Yiyun was already eager to meet her.
However, since the two had not officially established a relationship, and it was unknown whether Yan Keyi liked girls or whether the two of them could actually get together, and Jiang Hong was unaware of this matter, Zhu Yiyun could not ask Jiang Hong to take her to visit him.
When Jiang Ning finally met Yan Keyi, he realized that she was indeed still young, which explained his concerns.
Whether Jiang Ning saw her as a younger sister or a lover, Zhu Yiyun was already content as long as someone could keep Jiang Ning company. Therefore, she hoped that Yan Keyi would be alright.
Ms. Zhu was a teacher in her early years, and she always had a very good temperament and personality. She was gentle and kind, the kind of teacher that students liked.
With her chatting with her, Yan Keyi's nervousness seemed to gradually subside. Jiang Ning then slowly relaxed.
Jiang Ning was worried about bringing Yan Keyi home so hastily, but fortunately, Zhu Yiyun and Yan Keyi got along quite well.
Jiang Ning knew that Yan Keyi had lost a lot, even though her relationship with her parents had only recently improved. But Jiang Ning also hoped that Yan Keyi could receive the same love her parents had given her from him.
Seeing them happy is enough for me.
