CHAPTER 1157: CHAPTER 232: EYES HEALED, HEART LOST (PART 4)

Ji Yunya had no way to deal with him. Just after taking two steps, she saw Meng Junci pulling Yan Xing coming towards them. Yan Xing seemed a bit afraid upon seeing Yan Song and greeted Ji Yunya: "Sister-in-law, where are you guys headed?"

Ji Yunya’s gaze swept past Meng Junci, she smiled and said: "We’re going to see Great-Grandfather. What are you guys doing wandering around so late?"

"Sister Ah Ci said it’s stuffy inside, so I came out with her for a walk. You are going to see Great-Grandfather? I want to go too."

Ji Yunya then smiled and said: "Alright, let’s all go together then."

Halfway there, they ran into Yan Ke. This kid, upon seeing Ji Yunya, lit up as if he saw the light: "Sister Yun Ya, where are you and my brother going?"

When they got closer, Yan Song’s gaze turned sharp and cold, making Yan Ke stop in his tracks.

Yan Xing winked at Meng Junci: "Second Brother...."

Meng Junci subtly frowned.

"To see Great-Grandfather."

"Well, I have nothing to do, so I’ll go with you."

Originally, it was just Ji Yunya and Yan Song, but soon enough, there were three little tails following behind them. Yan Song’s face was cold, and no one dared to approach him. Yan Xing pulled Yan Ke along: "Second Brother, where have you been these days? I can’t find you when I get home from school."

Yan Ke automatically put some distance between himself and Yan Xing: "School band practice."

Yan Xing put her hands on her hips and shouted: "You’re lying! I went to your school several times to find you, and you weren’t there at all."

Yan Ke chuckled coldly: "Who said practice has to be at school? Why are you looking for me? Stop telling everyone you’re my sister; I don’t have such a dumb sister."

Yan Xing’s face turned pale with anger. She glanced at the silent Meng Junci, clenching her teeth: "Sister Ah Ci, don’t you like Cat King? He’s also Second Brother’s idol. You can talk to him about it." Saying this, she nudged Meng Junci towards Yan Ke.

Meng Junci brushed against Yan Ke suddenly, and he brushed off his clothes with disdain. Meng Junci’s face didn’t look good; was she more dreadful than a plague? Why did everyone seem to dislike her?

"What Cat King? I’ve changed idols long ago." With that, he glanced at Yan Song and Ji Yunya walking in front and quickly distanced himself from them.

"Hey, Second Brother, why are you running?" Yan Xing tried to grab Yan Ke, but Meng Junci pulled her back: "Forget it, can’t you see his heart is with Ji Yunya?"

Yan Xing was stunned, and when she looked up, she saw Yan Ke chattering away next to Ji Yunya, without the slightest hint of contempt he showed in front of them, calling out "Sister Yun Ya" continuously.

"Second Brother must see her as a sister...." Yan Xing clicked her tongue but found this thought couldn’t convince herself. "You must be overthinking it, they’re about to get engaged...." If it were true, her newfound fondness for Ji Yunya would immediately diminish.

"Aunt Zhuang said the engagement is set for the eighteenth of next month." Ji Yunya smiled softly.

Yan Ke excitedly said: "Then congratulations to you and Big Brother in advance. But I still prefer calling you sister, it sounds closer. Calling you sister-in-law makes you sound old."

Ji Yunya smiled and said: "Suit yourself."

Yan Song gave him a chilly look: "Call her sister-in-law."

Yan Ke jumped up: "Who are you to tell me? I’ll call her whatever I want."

"You brat, acting all grown up." Yan Song narrowed his eyes, his tone cold and deep.

Yan Xing laughed: "I guess I was overthinking it. Second Brother just sees her as a sister. Sister Ah Ci, what are you worried about? Second Brother is still playful, just a kid, he’ll naturally realize your worth when he grows up."

Meng Junci shook her head gently, "You don’t understand...."

"What don’t I understand? Sister Ah Ci, what are you talking about?"

As they talked, they arrived at Rongju Garden. As soon as they lifted the curtain to enter, they saw a man sitting inside. He was very handsome, but there was an air of roguish charm about him. He was chatting with the old man, making him laugh heartily.

It was Ji Yunya’s first time seeing this man, but she quickly guessed his identity at heart.

The looks, age, and temperament—all matched Yan Nangui, and no one else in the Yan Family.

Upon hearing footsteps, Yan Nangui turned his head and looked over, "Ah Song, you’ve arrived, huh."

His gaze swept over the girl beside him, his brow slightly raised, as radiant as spring: "This must be Ah Song’s fiancée, right? She’s so beautiful, like a fairy from a painting."

Ji Yunya frowned slightly, finding his words a bit flippant, indeed living up to his flirtatious nature.

Yan Song’s gaze cooled slightly, and without a word, he pulled Ji Yunya behind him, saying flatly: "Seventh Uncle."

Yan Xing and Meng Junci obediently called him Seventh Uncle. If she’d known he was here, she wouldn’t have come.
