The Song family.
By the time the grand plan of "triple happiness" was finalized, it was nearly noon.
After the meal, the Chu family members got up to say goodbye.
Song Yan escorted Chu Xin'er all the way to the front gate. The two lingered affectionately, reluctant to part, which amused and pleased the elders.
Just as Chu Yan was about to get into the car, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked calmly at Song Yan.
"Song Yan".
"Brother Yan."
Song Yan immediately stood up straight.
These two equally outstanding men, both holding high positions, exuded completely different auras at this moment.
Chu Yan's gaze carried the scrutiny of an elder brother and an unquestionable authority.
"Xin'er is the darling of our Chu family, my own little sister whom I've watched grow up."
His voice wasn't loud, but every word was heavy, carrying an invisible pressure.
“She is naive and spoiled by our whole family, so she is a bit ignorant of the ways of the world. I am entrusting her to you today not only because you are compatible, but also because I trust your character.”
Chu Yan looked directly into his eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"I hope you remember, you can make her cry, but only tears of happiness. If in the future you cause her even the slightest grievance, or make her shed a single tear of sadness..."
He paused, his tone suddenly turning icy.
"Even though we've been brothers for so many years, I will never let you go."
These words were a warning, but more importantly, they were an elder brother's most solemn entrustment.
Song Yan showed no fear whatsoever. He met Chu Yan's gaze without flinching, his face displaying an unprecedented solemnity.
"Brother Yan, don't worry."
He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and solemnly swore an oath, like a soldier.
"I, Song Yan, here today, make a promise to you for life."
"I love my daughter more than my own life. I will cherish her as the apple of my eye for the rest of my life, and do everything in my power to pamper and protect her, so that she can be the happiest woman in the world."
"If in the future I ever feel I have wronged Chu Xin'er, and let her suffer even the slightest injustice..."
Song Yan's voice was as firm as iron.
"Brother Yan, you can just shoot me dead."
This promise is as heavy as Mount Tai!
Looking into Song Yan's eyes, where there was no pretense of sincerity and determination, Chu Yan's last bit of worry completely vanished.
He patted Song Yan's shoulder heavily, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
"Okay, I'll leave Xin'er in your care."
Chu Yan only said this one sentence, but it contained all the trust and blessings between brothers.
Everyone was deeply moved.
After bidding farewell to the Song family, the Chu family group drove straight to the Ye family's compound.
This is such a wonderful triple celebration, we must inform our in-laws immediately!
Before the car even reached the gate, Ye Nian'an spotted Jin Xiangyu standing on tiptoe, peering longingly in their direction.
"mom!"
Ye Nian'an rolled down the car window and called out with a smile.
"Oh my! My darling Niannian! You're finally back!"
As soon as Jin Xiangyu saw the car, she immediately greeted it with a beaming smile.
As soon as everyone got out of the car, Jin Xiangyu grabbed Ye Nian'an and Chi Xinyao's hands and asked anxiously, "How did it go? Did you settle things with Xin'er and Song Yan?"
"It's more than just an agreement!"
Ye Nian'an linked arms with her two mothers and winked mysteriously, saying, "Mom, Dad, let me tell you, our family isn't just having one happy event, it's having three!"
Three?!
Ye Xiang, who had just come out of the house after hearing the noise, was stunned on the spot.
Ye Nian'an smiled and vividly recounted how Chu Yan wanted to hold a wedding ceremony and how Chu Xin'er suggested that the two couples get engaged together.
"Oh my God!"
Jin Xiangyu was incredibly excited after hearing this: "This...this is truly a wonderful thing! A triple celebration! Thank God! Our Ye family is incredibly lucky!"
Ye Xiang was beaming with joy, nodding repeatedly: "Great! Great! It'll be so lively and festive if all the children can get together!"
"By the way, Mom, how's my third brother's 'thirty chess games' test going? Has he passed Uncle Chen's test yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Xiangyu's smile crumbled: "Don't even mention it! Your third brother, that terrible chess player, I don't know if he got some kind of lucky break or if your Uncle Chen deliberately let him win, but in the last few days, he's managed to win more than a dozen games, albeit with some difficulty!"
"Your Uncle Shen won't admit it, he always has a stern face, but I can tell he's secretly overjoyed! Now he's looking forward to Asheng coming over every day, ostensibly to play chess, but I think he just wants to find an excuse to see his future son-in-law more!"
"Look, I went to challenge them again today. After the game, the Shen family insisted on keeping me for dinner!"
Jin Xiangyu made the final decision, her face full of satisfaction: "I think it's only a matter of time before we completely win this over!"
"real?!"
Chu Xin'er, listening from the side, exclaimed with shining eyes, "Brother Ye Sheng is amazing! He managed to handle this!"
As the two families were happily talking about Ye Sheng's progress, a steady voice suddenly came from the courtyard gate.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back from the army."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall and imposing figure standing at the door.
The man was dressed in a crisp military uniform, his posture upright like a pine tree, his skin a bronze color from years of exposure to the scorching sun, his eyes calm yet sharp, and his entire being exuded a unique, resolute, and reliable aura characteristic of soldiers.
It was my second brother—Ye Hui!
