Chapter 1379

Yan Aohan smiled faintly. "Your Fourth Aunt is still young, but we will get engaged next month. So don't worry, you will definitely get candy."

"Does Xiao Nan like candy?" Zhu Yanyi asked casually. "If you like candy, I will take you to eat some in a few days. My sister is holding a wedding banquet in the capital soon. There will be plenty of candy then." Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"Really? I haven't had a proper wedding meal at any relative's house since I was born. Something always goes wrong every time I go," Yan Xinan said with a helpless expression.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan, confused.

Yan Aohan chuckled lightly. "It’s like your constitution of always encountering trouble on trains. Whenever Xiao Nan attends a wedding banquet, trouble breaks out nine times out of ten."

Zhu Yanyi stared at Yan Aohan, thinking, Does telling me this help now? I’ve already promised to take Xiao Nan. If something happens, you’re responsible.

Yan Aohan nodded slightly to Zhu Yanyi, indicating he would take full responsibility.

Zhu Yanyi giggled. "That’s good. Xiao Nan, we can be considered fellow countrymen."

"Huh?" Yan Xinan blinked, not understanding.

Yan Aohan laughed heartily. "Your Fourth Aunt always gets into trouble whenever she goes out. Whether by train, plane, or ship, trouble happens eight times out of ten."

"This 'trouble' doesn't mean the vehicle crashes. It means she encounters strange incidents. For example, once she ran into a gang trafficking women. Another time, she saved a woman in labor. Then there was a child trafficking ring. That’s not all. The first time she flew abroad, there was a hijacking. The first time she took a ship, she found people suffering from a maritime disaster. Basically, I just can’t go out." Zhu Yanyi elaborated on Yan Aohan’s words.

"Fourth Aunt, you are so pitiful," Yan Xinan said, looking at her with sympathy.

"Why do you call me 'Little Fourth Aunt'? Do you have a 'Big Fourth Aunt'?" Zhu Yanyi suddenly realized the issue.

"Because you are young. Grandma says Fourth Uncle is an old cow eating tender grass. Fourth Uncle is the old cow, and you are the tender grass. Tender means small, so you are the Little Fourth Aunt," Yan Xinan said, looking at her as if she were very stupid for needing an explanation.

"You really are your Fourth Uncle’s nephew," Zhu Yanyi said, admiring her eloquence. "So 'tender' can be explained that way."

Yan Xinan was confused. He was only twelve years old. "Little Fourth Aunt, are you praising me?"

"Your Fourth Aunt is praising your good eloquence," Yan Aohan laughed, understanding Zhu Yanyi’s meaning immediately.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. "Did I say anything wrong?"

"No, no. You are absolutely right," Yan Aohan smiled lightly.

"Fourth Brother and his wife have such a good relationship," Lan Man said with a smile from the side.

"My relationship with you is also very good," Yan Huajun quickly interjected.

Soon, everyone sat down to eat. Today was a rare family reunion for the Yan family. Although it wasn’t the New Year, it was still in the first lunar month, so they could treat it like the New Year.

Just as things were getting lively, someone entered. It was Guan Xiaoyue.

Since meeting Yan Aohan, Guan Xiaoyue had fallen deeply in love, to the point of ruining her life.

She had returned from studying abroad, believing she had beauty, talent, and a good family background. Many people pursued her, but she only had eyes for Yan Aohan.

She usually appeared shrewd, but no one knew she was actually very sensitive, especially regarding emotions. She liked Yan Aohan but dared not confess. She could only watch silently, believing that with her conditions, Yan Aohan would eventually see her worth.

"But instead, she heard news that Yan Aohan had brought his fiancée, who was about to get engaged, to the Yan family. She was unwilling to accept this. Was it just because his fiancée was the Little Divine Doctor? She even thought Yan Aohan was forced, due to orders from above.

People from above needed someone to protect the Little Divine Doctor. Ordinary families were unworthy, so they chose Yan Aohan. Every time she thought of this, she believed she had found the truth. So today, knowing Zhu Yanyi was visiting, she came. She felt she should fight a battle for her love.

The Yan family had just started eating when Guan Xiaoyue entered. The old lady frowned. Who was guarding the door? How did they let just anyone in?

The old man was displeased inside but showed no expression on his face. He said calmly, "Xiaoyue, today is a family banquet for us. If you have nothing else, please go back."

"It doesn’t matter. I just came to see Brother Yan," Guan Xiaoyue said, looking at the old man, then at Yan Aohan. "Brother Yan."

Wow, how thick-skinned is this person? Everyone present thought the same.

"Shut up," Yan Aohan said coldly. "Who allowed you to call me that?"

"Aohan," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "This is the Yan family. Today is the Yan family banquet. Your eldest and second brothers are here. How could she call you that?"

Zhu Yanyi’s voice was soft and gentle, but the meaning behind her words was like a sharp knife, stabbing directly into Guan Xiaoyue’s heart.

Tears filled Guan Xiaoyue’s eyes. She looked at Yan Aohan pitifully. Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi looked curious. "You are going to cry? That’s great." She then looked around hurriedly.

Yan Aohan knew what Zhu Yanyi wanted to do as soon as he saw her. "I will help you find a washbasin." He went to the nearby bathroom and brought back a washbasin.

"How is this?" Yan Aohan handed it to Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi tapped the bottom of the basin and nodded. "Not bad. Perfect for holding tears." She walked over and shoved the basin into Guan Xiaoyue’s arms. "If you want to cry, remember to cry into the basin. I am missing a tear ingredient for medicine recently. Hurry up and cry."

Then she examined Guan Xiaoyue’s face. "No, your makeup is too heavy. You need to wash your face first." She walked into the bathroom, filled a basin with water, and placed it in front of Guan Xiaoyue. "Hurry and wash your face. Then cry. Remember, do not waste any tears." She put on a kind face. "Look how good I am. I don’t even fetch face-washing water for people at home." This implied Guan Xiaoyue was very lucky.

Guan Xiaoyue had never encountered someone like Zhu Yanyi. She was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Yanyi saw her stunned look. "What? You can’t cry because we are watching? Are you shy? Then let’s eat first. You cry first. I will come back to collect the tears later. Remember to wash your face first." She added this reminder at the end.
