Shalnork was far warmer than they seemed to remember. Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng held Joy’s hand and saw a few familiar faces coming to pick them up as soon as they got off the plane.

  “Youlin, Tingfeng, over here, over here……” Nie Yunfan waved at the two of them happily.

  Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were stunned when they saw him and An Qi beside him. They held Joy’s hand and walked in front of him. “Why are you here to pick us up? Where’s my brother?”


  The person who answered wasn’t Nie Yunfan, but An Qi beside him. “Yue Yue’s feet have been swollen a little recently. Yichen was worried that she would be at home alone, so he asked the two of us to pick you up.”


  “Hehehe, it’s your good fortune for us to pick you up. Where’s your luggage? Is that all you have? Come, come, come, I’ll help you carry it.” Nie Yunfan’s face was filled with a smug smile. His entire body was shining with the dazzling light of a villain’s success.

  Zhao Youlin looked at his shit-eating look and then glanced at their tightly clasped hands. She suddenly seemed to understand something and gasped. “You…… the two of you……”


  “That’s right!” Nie Yunfan smiled like a cheating fox. “The two of us are together.”


  “But didn’t the two of you……” Zhao Youlin looked at the two of them in disbelief. If she remembered correctly, not long before they left, Nie Xingzhi had complained to them that this nephew of his didn’t give him any peace of mind at all. He would always get drunk and depressed over matters of love. He even made a big fuss over breaking up with a certain someone, causing his uncle to worry so much.

  When Zhao Youlin heard Nie Xingzhi’s serious words, she thought that the matter between the two of them was probably going to blow up. How long had it been? How did the two of them get together again? Moreover, from the looks of it, the situation had clearly changed from one-sided wishful thinking to two people in actual love. Wasn’t the speed of development a little too fast?! What had she missed out on?!

  When Nie Yunfan heard Zhao Youlin mention his absurd days, he coughed lightly and said a little awkwardly, “We were…… quarreling before. Yes, Quarreling.”


  “Quarreling?” Zhao Youlin sneered and mercilessly exposed Nie Yunfan’s lie. “Quarreling to the point of death, half-death, half-alive? Your quarreling is really childish.”


  Nie Yunfan was speechless. The moment he came back, she had stabbed him with a knife. Could they still be friends?

  An Qi’s face turned red. She rolled her eyes at the person next to her with an embarrassed look. Then, she angrily stomped on him.

  Nie Yunfan was speechless. Who did he offend?!

  “We…… We just had a fight. We’re back together now, can’t we?” Nie Yunfan said righteously.

  Zhao Youlin said nothing. She just stared at him with a pair of sad eyes. Nie Yunfan felt goosebumps all over his body from her stare. Finally, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s with your eyes?!”


  “It’s nothing. I just feel that it’s a bit of a pity. I spent so much effort growing my own salad, only to have it all eaten up by swine……”


  Nie Yunfan choked. He immediately went a little crazy and said, “Who are you calling swine?”


  “Of course I’m calling the swine what it is.”


  Nie Yunfan almost choked to death. After a long while, he said with a gloomy face, “Your words seem to be directed at Ah Chen as well, right?”


  “Really?” Zhao Youlin spread her hands innocently. “That’s different. Although Yue Yue is also from my shop, she is also a member of your Nie family. Moreover, she and my brother are a match made in heaven. On the other hand……”


  Zhao Youlin looked at Nie Yunfan from top to bottom for a while. Her eyes were full of unspeakable intent. “I always feel that An Qi has been a victim of your sweet-talking.”


  Nie Yunfan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. If he had known…… if he had known that this woman would bully people like this when she came back, he wouldn’t have come to pick them up today, even if he had offended his brothers. Was it too late for him to regret now?

  Mu Tingfeng silently watched Zhao Youlin bully Nie Yunfan from the side. When it was almost time, he took a step forward. He grabbed Zhao Youlin’s hand and said, “Alright, stop playing. Let’s go back. Father, mother, and grandfather are probably waiting for us at home.”


  Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes. She said helplessly, “I’m not playing. I’m just telling the truth. An Qi, if you find out that this guy isn’t suitable for you and want me to throw him off the bridge, you can come find me. I’ll definitely find you a better one.”


  An Qi’s face suddenly flushed red, but Nie Yunfan was the first to jump up and shout, “Mu Tingfeng, take good care of your daughter-in-law. You will be struck by lightning if you sow discord!”


  Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes at him. “Sow discord? Wait until you properly deal with your ex-girlfriends and promise that the previous incident will not happen again before you say that to me.”


  “What happened last time?” Nie Yunfan’s body stiffened. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, his expression changed slightly. “You, you, you…… How did you know? It can’t be……”


  Hearing this, Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him again. “You’re thinking too much. You should bear the consequences of your own actions. Don’t try to push the blame onto others.”


  Nie Yunfan’s face turned green and white, white and green. Finally, his face fell, and he turned to look at An Qi. He carefully said, “An Qi, you have to believe me. Right now, I only like you. In the past, I was young and immature. Now that I have you, I will never be a jerk again.”


  Zhao Youlin crossed her arms as she stood on the side. She originally wanted to say, “Young master Nie, I’m afraid you’ve said this to all the girls you’ve fooled.” However, Mu Tingfeng was one step ahead of her and stopped her. After thinking for a moment, she didn’t add fuel to the fire.

  An Qi was suddenly pulled back by Nie Yunfan. The temperature on her face rose uncontrollably. After hesitating for a moment, she finally opened her mouth and said, “Oh, that, I know. I can look past it, but……”


  Nie Yunfan’s eyes lit up when he heard the words ‘look past it’, but when he heard the word ‘but’, his heart suddenly tensed up again. He swallowed his saliva and probed, “But?”


  “But if you really do something to let me down in the future, I will leave immediately. I will leave you, and you will never be able to find me. I will do what I say.”


  When An Qi said this, not only Nie Yunfan, but Zhao Youlin and the others were also stunned.

  When he saw An Qi’s resolute look, Nie Yunfan licked his lips and said with a serious face, “I swear, I will never let it come to that.”


  Zhao Youlin looked at the two of them and found it inappropriate to break up the couple. She could only watch as a swine ate her salad, and on top of that…… the salad seemed to be quite willing! Nothing was more depressing than this!
