"Pfft... Hahaha, Auntie is just concerned about me. I'm actually quite happy. It feels like I have a mother."
Yes, it's been a long time since she's been cared for and loved like this. Thinking about that sly stepmother makes her feel bad.
Also, she misses her mother, who died in a car accident ten years ago when she was only eleven years old and just a fifth-grade student...
Her eyes gradually shifted from happy to sorrowful...
“I know you’re upset. From now on, my mom will still be your mom. She’ll treat you even better than she treats me. Let’s not think about those unhappy things anymore.”
He will make her life better and better, and make her only happy and without worries, but regrets are also common in life.
"Okay, let's get married after we sort out those things, okay?"
At this moment, Jiang Xuening nestled in Yan Yuze's arms, staring blankly at him. She longed to have a home with him, a happy little home of her own. She hoped her child would always grow up surrounded by the love of both parents.
"Fool, I should be the one to propose marriage, understand? It won't be long, I'll have everything sorted out."
Yan Yuze hugged her tightly with heartache. He knew that it was because of her past experiences that she was so looking forward to marriage, and only he could give her a sense of security.
"Okay! I believe you."
Jiang Xuening's eyes welled up with tears, and she tried hard to hold them back.
"After you take your medicine, go and rest for a while. When you wake up, I'll take you home."
Yan Yuze wiped away her tears, stroked her head, and gently rested his chin on her hair.
"Uh-huh."
Jiang Xuening was particularly immersed in their world as a couple. Being with Yan Yuze was the cure for her pain.

As evening approached, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the Yan family villa, giving it a gentle, romantic feel.
The sky today is a warm pink, exceptionally beautiful, and the flowers in the garden appear even more vibrant in its glow.
Everyone had arrived at the Yan family villa long ago and were enjoying the sunset together on the large balcony on the second floor. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and it was unclear what they were discussing.
"Young master, ladies, please move to the dining room for your meal."
Ah Xiu rushed up.
Everyone offered to help Li Shuwen, but she chased them all away, saying that the servants could help, and that the kitchen was her battlefield today, and no one else was allowed to come in.
No one could dissuade her, so they had to follow her arrangements. The sky suddenly turned pink today, which was especially beautiful and attracted the attention of the girls.
"Young master, ladies, please move to the open-air restaurant in the backyard for your meal. Madam said that the sunset and evening glow today are beautiful, and the sky is dreamy and romantic. You can enjoy the view while you eat."
Upon receiving Li Shuwen's instructions, Ah Hong quickly ran upstairs to the second floor.
"good."
"Uh-huh."
"immediately."
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Xiu and Aunt Hong."
"Let's go."
"Okay! Let's go! Let's go eat!"
Everyone immediately stood up, holding hands in pairs, and walked downstairs together to take the elevator. This elevator had two doors, one leading into the villa and the other into the back garden outside the villa.
The same applies upstairs; one side is the villa's interior, and the other side features large balconies and entertainment areas on each floor.
"Wow! My darlings are all paired up, they're such a perfect match, a golden couple!"
Just as Li Shuwen put down the last dish, she looked up and saw the four teams walking towards her.
Yan Yinran sat in a rocking chair not far away, and looked over when she heard the sound...
Why did they have to let her see this horrific scene of public displays of affection? Shouldn't she be at home right now?
One married couple, four couples, and she was the brightest and biggest third wheel in the whole room!
Yan Youting & Li Shuwen
Yan Yuze & Jiang Xuening
Lan Jingyan & Yan Xiluo
Li Shaochuan & An Xinyue
Li Mufei & Ning Jiu'an
Yan Yinran: ? ? ?
Everyone else is in pairs, except her. Well, I guess I'm going to have to watch some PDA soon!
After placing the dishes at the table, Li Shuwen quickly took out her phone and started snapping photos in the direction they were coming from. Yes, she wanted to record this beautiful moment.
Then I posted it in the group chat so that my other four sons would see it and try to find a partner sooner, putting some pressure on them.
"Dad, Mom."
"Uncle, Auntie."
"Uncle, Aunt."
"Dad, Mom."
"Aunt, Uncle"
"Aunt, Uncle."
...The group members greeted Yan Youting and Li Shuwen in their own unique ways.
"Come on, children, sit down quickly."
Yan Youting invited everyone to take their seats.
"Ranran, you silly child, why are you still standing there? Come and have dinner!"
Seeing that Yan Yinran hadn't come over yet, Li Shuwen called out to her.
Hearing the call, Yan Yinran had no choice but to hurry over. With so many people, how was she supposed to greet them? Σ( ° △ °|||)︴
"Third Brother, Sister Ningning."
"Sister, brother-in-law."
"Cousin Shaochuan, Sister Yueyue."
"Cousin Feifei, Brother Jiu'an."
Yan Yinran smiled awkwardly and greeted them in turn, following their seating arrangements.
Everyone nodded and greeted her. Eventually, she found an empty seat next to Yan Youting and sat down.
"Hehe, everyone, let's start eating! It's so pleasant and relaxing to enjoy dinner while admiring the scenery."
Yan Youting gestured to Ah Hong and Ah Xiu to fill everyone's drinks.
Considering they might need to drive, they weren't allowed to drink alcohol.
"It's rare to see the house so lively! If Luo Luo's other brothers bring their girlfriends home next time, our Yan family banquet will be even more exciting! And Ran Ran too, we'll have two huge tables full!"
Li Shuwen felt joyful just thinking about it; it would be even more lively with a house full of children and grandchildren in the future. Of course, she dared not say it out loud, for fear that the children would misunderstand that she was pressuring them to get married and have children.
She and Yan Youting are open-minded parents. They respect their children's plans and arrangements and do not interfere.
Yan Yinran blushed suddenly when she heard that she had been asked a question. She hadn't thought about when she would find a boyfriend, or to be precise, she hadn't met someone she liked yet.
Actually, she was quite envious, but she felt it was better to let things happen naturally and not to date just for the sake of dating.
“Especially the eldest brother, he’s getting on in years and there’s still no sign of him getting pregnant.”
Yan Youting thought that since his youngest sister already had a fiancé, it was time to put Yan Mingxuan on the agenda. However, he felt that the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan family should indeed be carefully chosen. Ideally, she should be dignified, elegant, generous, and have the demeanor of an eldest sister-in-law.
"Uncle, my cousin is busy with the company's affairs every day. I guess he doesn't have the time or the inclination to find a girlfriend."
Li Mufei's words were like a wake-up call; Yan Youting suddenly realized there was some truth to them.
