She quickly cleared her throat and said, "Where did Pingping and An'an go? There are so many people, they can't get lost!"
As she spoke, she lunged at Xiao Bao, trying to escape the two men's questions.
Unexpectedly, Wan Ziyan and Chen Yongnian only exchanged a glance and did not ask Wan Qiqi any further questions.
The two watched Wan Qiqi playing with the children, as if she herself were a child who hadn't grown up.
They walked side by side, their steps slow.
Chen Yongnian spoke first, saying, "Second Brother, I heard from my wife that you are going to the capital to take the imperial examination?"
"Yes, I'll leave in a couple of days." Wan Ziyan had originally planned to leave two days ago, but the trip was postponed due to the Xinglong Restaurant incident.
Then, he wanted to spend the Lantern Festival with Wan Qiqi, so he kept delaying the time.
"Second brother, don't worry, with me here, my wife will be fine. I will take good care of her." Chen Yongnian also knew that the person Wan Ziyan was most worried about was Wan Qiqi.
When Wan Ziyan first appeared, he thought Wan Ziyan was the wealthy man Wan Qiqi was originally going to marry, but later he learned that he was her elder brother...
Later, when he truly saw how good Wan Ziyan was to Wan Qiqi, he realized that he was a family member who genuinely cared for his wife.

“I’m not worried about the people in the town; she can handle them. But people’s hearts are unpredictable. I’m afraid someone might use her weaknesses to plot against her.” Wan Ziyan’s eyes showed a hint of worry. “The fact that some powerful families in Yunhe County are able to maintain their positions is not as simple as it seems. They have a wide network of connections behind them.”
"Is Second Brother worried that Wife will provoke the people behind them?"
"It's not about provoking, it's about avoiding it!"
Wan Ziyan had followed Master Wan in business for several years and understood best the pros and cons of it.
Some people and some forces will get you involved even if you don't actively provoke them.
"Yongnian, only when you are strong enough can you make your opponents wary! Some things are not a matter of whether you want to or not, but something you must do!"
Take Wan Ziyan himself as an example. It wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to take the imperial examination or not, but rather that he had to go in order to protect the people he wanted to protect.
"Good!" Although Chen Yongnian didn't quite understand, he felt that Wan Ziyan must have his reasons!
