“Then Second Brother will go too, since he’s already back.”
"Third Brother, let's take your Sister Ningning with us!"
"Fourth Brother is going too!"
"Of course, Fifth Brother's share is indispensable!"
Each of the brothers was eager to be by Yan Xiluo's side and witness every step she would take in the future.
"Okay, thank you Mom and Dad, thank you brothers! It's so good to have you all!"
Yan Xiluo was very touched, especially by the unity and love among the family; she felt truly happy.
"After the press conference, let's have dinner together as a family at the Century Hotel. Let's invite Feifei and Yueyue too, and if you have a partner, bring them along."
Li Shuwen started making arrangements again; she just loved having the whole family together in a lively atmosphere.
"Okay, then I'll have Ayan come along..."
The mention of Lan Jingyan instantly brought to mind their intimate moments from last night... and this afternoon...
He stopped talking immediately.
"Okay! Absolutely. Putting aside his status as your fiancé, you should naturally thank him properly for bringing you back safely."
Yan Youting gave his full support; he was growing to love his future son-in-law more and more and was extremely satisfied.
"Yes, yes, we should thank them properly."
Li Shuwen nodded in agreement.
"Oh, right, third brother, remember to bring Sister Ningning to dinner. I don't care about the other single guys, but you absolutely have to bring Ningning, you hear me?"
When Li Shuwen was talking about single dogs, she couldn't help but glance at Yan Chenyu, Yan Qirui and Yan Yixing with disdain, and then told Yan Yuze with a smile to bring Jiang Xuening along.
"Mom, is being single a crime? Why do I feel like I'm being discriminated against?"
To liven up the atmosphere and to maintain his usual personality, Yan Yixing reverted to his carefree and easygoing self.
"Where is the discrimination? It's just a little bit of preferential treatment..."
Yan Qirui also became talkative and joined in the conversation.
"You think having a girlfriend means you'll treat us better? It's not us who will be treated better, it's our future girlfriends."
Well, Yan Chenyu's words were a wake-up call, shattering their illusions.
"If you're not happy about it, hurry up and find a partner so your parents won't have to worry."
Yan Yuze was the most smug at this moment, as he was the only one among the five brothers who had found a girlfriend, and he even made faces at them.
Yan Chenyu wrapped his arm around Yan Yuze's neck, preparing to choke him.
"You can't play like that, right? A gentleman uses words, not fists, Second Brother."
Yan Yuze felt the fire wasn't big enough and wanted to add more.
"Alright, alright, you brothers, how old are you all? Look how quiet and ladylike your sister is! Don't you know how to learn from her?"
Li Shuwen glanced at her sons with disdain, then smiled at Yan Xiluo.
Upon hearing Li Shuwen's words, the four brothers were stunned and fell silent, but it was clear that each of them was lost in thought...
Yan Chenyu: At home, she is quite quiet and ladylike. Fortunately, her parents don't know Luo Luo's cool and sassy identity, otherwise her mother would probably regret saying that.
Now it seems... my sister is shy? Haha...
Yan Yuze: Hahaha, she is quite quiet and ladylike, but she broke someone's back with an over-the-shoulder throw and sent them flying several meters...
She hit even harder than him! This is hardly the strength a lady should have, hahaha, what a lively little sister!
Yan Qirui: Um... Although he hadn't seen the scene of his sister hitting someone that she mentioned today, he only knew his gentle and cute sister!
Let's just pretend my sister's fierceness doesn't exist, shall we? He absolutely mustn't make her angry in the future; he... can't beat her.
Yan Yixing: Just kicking someone away and breaking her back is indeed quite ladylike, too refined.
If it were him, that person would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.
Yan Xiluo felt slightly embarrassed by the praise. It seemed that her parents didn't understand her well enough. If they knew that she wasn't like this at all, would they be extremely surprised? Or even frightened?
"What are you brothers standing there for? Hurry up and take your seats. It's time for dinner."
Li Shuwen shook her head helplessly, not knowing what was going on with them, and then went to sit down in her usual dining seat.
Everyone then took their seats.
"Hey, where's Ranran? Isn't she home?"
Since returning, Yan Xiluo has not seen Yan Yinran.
"Ranran flew to S City for intensive training. She said that her former training class organized a large-scale performance event, and she has been there for several days."
Everyone was slightly surprised by Yan Xiluo's change of address to call Yan Yinran "Ranran," which proved that Yan Xiluo had completely accepted her.
And they were very concerned about her; at least before the four brothers had even asked about Yan Yinran's whereabouts, Yan Xiluo had already asked them.
"Is my darling daughter planning to completely accept Ranran?"
Li Shuwen felt that Yan Xiluo must have let down her guard against her, right?
But Li Shuwen hadn't been able to do it yet; she was still worried about Yan Xiluo's safety, after all, Yan Yinran had indeed had wicked intentions before.
"Well, after spending this time with her, I think she's actually quite nice. It's just that she was corrupted by Zhang Hui since she was little, which is why she's the way she was before."
That night, Yan Yinran spent a lot of time in Yan Xiluo's room, talking to her about how Zhang Hui had educated her in the past.
"Speaking of which, Zhang Hui probably won't be going back to the Yan family villa, right? I heard last night that the person behind it all realized something was wrong, so they had the people who kidnapped me leave me there to fend for myself, and then they made their retreat. And Zhang Hui is someone they've trusted for so long, they definitely wouldn't let her risk staying in our house. They know what the consequences would be if Zhang Hui fell into our hands. But... I have a feeling they're setting up a bigger scheme..."
Yan Xiluo's expression became somewhat serious. She expressed her suspicions not to worry her family, but to warn them to be more cautious and vigilant.
Zhang Hui has kept her true colors well hidden for the past eighteen years! Perhaps her parents were too busy with work and neglected her, allowing her to run rampant at home and bully many of the servants.
“My sister is right about that. The person behind it all is definitely trying to protect Zhang Hui and then use her for something else. Mom and Dad can rest assured about that. I have a team of elites hidden in our home, secretly protecting our family. There are also some people at the Yan family's old residence protecting Grandpa and Grandma. The reason my sister got into trouble this time was because my people discovered something and immediately reported it to me, which is why I rushed back.”
Yan Yixing's expression turned serious, instantly transforming from a carefree and nonchalant person into a king with an imposing aura.
This instantly stunned Yan Youting and Li Shuwen.
He hadn't originally planned to let his parents know his identity so soon; he had too many concerns. But what Yan Xiluo mentioned were exactly what he was worried about.
Since Yan Xiluo had already revealed her identity, in order to put everyone at ease, he had no choice but to expose his own identity to give them a greater sense of security.
