“That’s right!” said Yun Xiang. “Come here quickly! Hurry up!” he impatiently ordered.

Yun Xiang found the sight of Yun Nan holding onto Shi Nian’s arm displeasing.

He’d already promised Yun Liu that he would definitely split Shi Nian and Yun

Nan up. Moreover, he had already chosen a fine marriage candidate for Yun Nan; if the marriage went through, it would be very beneficial to the Yun family.

Shi Nian looked extremely irritated at the remarks. Yun Liu secretly felt quite smug; she absolutely wouldn’t let Yun Nan have it easy! Yun Nan wouldn’t be able to say anything in defense; no one would believe her denials!

“Yun Nan doesn’t even know she’s here to pick up my grandfather! I dragged her here at the last minute. She thought I was taking her to my family’s villa,”

Shi Nian spoke placidly, stopping the Yun family members dead in their tracks.

Yun Zhang’s expression darkened, and he gave Yun Liu a disgruntled look. Yun Xiang and Gu Wei looked at each other; they were both so embarrassed that they were at a loss.

Yun Liu turned pale. ‘ is Shi Nian protecting Yun Nan? How did this wretched girl manage to make Shi Nian speak up for her like this? Yun Liu inwardly fumed, wishing she could stab Yun Nan with her glares.

Shi Nian took in the Yun family’s reactions before he focused on Yun Zhang. “Didn’t you all listen to what Yun Nan said? Or perhaps my assistant didn’t make things clear? Yun Nan and I are married. Is that so difficult for you to understand?”

Yun Zhang was so abashed that he didn’t know how to respond and was wrought speechless.

“I see the passengers have arrived. The Old Master and Young Miss should be out soon,” Chang Yuan broke the awkward silence and gave the Yun family a way out of their embarrassing situation.

Shi Nian placed an arm around Yun Nan’s shoulder and pivoted them around to face the airport arrival gate. Looking at the crowd surging from the exit, he suddenly shifted and whispered into her ear, “Don’t be angry. Just ignore them.”

Yun Nan felt an indescribable emotion in her heart; she felt complicated that her relatives would slander her in all sorts of ways while those with no blood ties would protect her without hesitation.

When a hale and hearty Shi Kong and his energetic granddaughter—Shi Xiu— came out, they were immediately surrounded by Yun Xiang, Gu Wei, and Yun Liu, who enthusiastically greeted them and inquired about their wellbeing. The trio’s actions consequently forced Shi Nian and Yun Nan to the back, as if they feared Shi Nian would expose something on the spot. Yun Zhang silently looked at the scene and stepped back from his family.

Shi Xiu instantly spotted Yun Nan at the back of the group. She pushed the Yun family aside and rushed to stand before her. “Yun Nan! Yun Nan, you’re my sister-in-law now, right? Am I right?”

Yun Nan had to use some force to pull her hand from Shi Nian’s arm. She smiled as she handed the flowers she held to Shi Xiu and greeted her warmly, “Welcome home.”

Shi Xiu accepted the flowers before quickly stuffing them into her brother’s arms. Then she pounced on Yun Nan and delightedly exclaimed, “Awesome! That’s great! My idol is my sister-in-law! I’m the happiest person in the world right now!”

Shi Nian wordlessly dropped the flowers into Chang Yuan’s hands behind him as he observed her circling Yun Nan like a monkey. He couldn’t understand why his sister was the happiest person in the world when he was the one married to Yun Nan. A little annoyed at her antics, Shi Nian reached out and tugged Shi Xiu’s braid, saying, “Can’t you behave yourself, brat?”

Shi Xiu’s scalp smarted, so she straightaway tattled to Yun Nan, “Yun Nan, save me Yun Nan, Shi Nian í bullying me!

Yun Nan smiled and lightly whacked Shi Nian’s hand, indicating for him to let go of Shi Xiu’s braids. “Don’t bully her,” she chided.

Shi Xiu hugged Yun Nan’s waist and sassed at Shi Nian, “I have someone backing me from now on! Someone much more useful than Grandpa!”

Then, she turned to Yun Nan and stated, “Yun Nan, don’t worry. If my brother bullies you, I’ll call on the entire family to beat him up!” Before her idol, the girl heartlessly betrayed their twenty-years-long siblinghood without hesitation.

Shi Kong finally managed to squeeze his way out of the Yun family’s encirclement, and he smiled when he saw Shi Xiu and Yun Nan hugging each other. Yun Nan took the opportunity to step up, bow, and said, “Grandpa, welcome home.”

“Yes, indeed, it’s great to be back! I can’t wait to get home, let’s head off now!” Shi Kong merrily answered. He held Yun Nan’s hand in one of his own and Shi Nian with the other and smiled as he said to the Yun family members, “Thank you for coming to the airport to meet me. I’m a little tired, so I’m heading home first. I’m afraid I can’t entertain you all as we’ll be having a family banquet today, but I’ll invite you guys over another day!”

The Yun family could only awkwardly smile at that. Yun Liu suddenly rushed to

Shi Nian’s side and gently pulled his sleeve, meekly calling out, “Shi Nian.”

Shi Nian reacted aggressively; he pushed Yun Liu away and demanded, ‘What are you doing?” Yun Liu was caught off guard; she was pushed off-balance and fell to the ground. She had worn a knee-length white skirt today, so it was inevitable that she would be exposed when she fell.

However, Yun Liu’s first reaction wasn’t to cover herself up but to scream instead.. Yun Zhang swiftly took off his coat and covered his sister before turning to Shi Nian and growled, “Shi Nian, you’ve gone too far!”
