CHAPTER 147: CHAPTER 148

After resolving the situation with Wang Ying, Nianyang turned to the County Lord Jiang’s group and thanked them repeatedly. She watched them leave, then followed the Jiang family back to the Jiang family home.

Having publicly dealt with Wang Ying today, it’s likely that the Gu Family will behave for a while, allowing Nianyang to focus on preparing for the start of school.

The only frustration was that Li Tingyan didn’t come looking for her today!

Didn’t he say he only had a three-day holiday? With such limited time, he doesn’t bother to come and see her or talk to her, yet claims he likes her!

Hmph!

Men are all big pig trotters!

Yeah, Nianyang would never admit she’s missing a certain someone; rather, it’s because her space is filled with too many herbs that she wants to give to someone since they’re taking up space!

★

On the surface, Nianyang appeared calm, but in reality she was anxiously waiting at the Jiang family from morning till afternoon.

Still, she hadn’t seen a trace of a certain someone, and she couldn’t sit still anymore. She was thinking about directly going to find Li Tingyan.

Who knew Fang Lan would come knocking at that moment, "Nianyang girl, do you have some time now?"

It’s her!

Li Tingyan’s cousin!

"Aunt Fang, do you need something from me?"

Nianyang instinctively straightened her back, feeling a little nervous at the idea that the person was someone’s cousin.

"What’s this? You’re still calling me Aunt Fang?"

Fang Lan casually sat next to Nianyang and winked at her, with a hint of teasing.

"???"

Nianyang looked at Fang Lan in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

Fang Lan covered her lips and laughed softly, "Aren’t you dating Tingyan? Tingyan’s a responsible person; dating him essentially makes you his wife. Since you’re his wife, naturally you should call me cousin-in-law."

Boom.

Nianyang’s face turned beet red instantly, surprised at Fang Lan’s directness. But how did she know about her and Ayang? Could it be Ayang confessed to her?

Somewhat awkwardly, she said, "Aunt Fang, please don’t tease me. Dating is dating; it’s not the same as marriage. I can’t mess up the etiquette."

Upon hearing this, Fang Lan found Nianyang even more favorable. She thought this girl, despite her rural background, has a good personality and composed demeanor, worthy of her nephew.

So her smile became even more gentle, "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I came looking for you because of Tingyan’s request. He received a call from the company last night and rushed back immediately. Before he left, he asked me to inform you so you wouldn’t look for him."

Nianyang’s eyes slightly widened, "Aunt Fang, what did you say? Ayang went back? How could it be so soon; he clearly said he had three more days left!"

Fang Lan noticed the urgency in Nianyang’s tone and thought to herself that this girl indeed truly cares about Tingyan. She patted Nianyang’s hand and said,

"Nianyang girl, you know Tingyan’s identity. Sometimes it’s just that helpless. In the future when you marry him, there’ll be lots of situations like this. I hope you can understand him and not blame him."

"I understand."

Nianyang naturally knew Li Tingyan couldn’t help his circumstances, but she couldn’t accept how quickly he left.

She hadn’t given him the prepared herbs yet; what if he encountered danger?

Fang Lan mused, "Nianyang girl, I’m sure Tingyan has told you about his background.

His family has high expectations of him, and also demands a lot from his significant other."

Nianyang was taken aback.

"Nianyang girl, don’t overthink it. I’m not trying to ruin your relationship. I’ve already seen you as Tingyan’s wife, and I just wanted to prepare you to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings with Tingyan in the future."

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"It’s just that Tingyan’s parents are privately arranging a marriage for him. The girl is called Chu Huan, has a strong background, and grew up with Tingyan in the Big Courtyard. They are childhood sweethearts, and their families were planning to become in-laws since Tingyan and Chu Huan were born."

——

Guess who that girl is?

Ps: No heartbreak! No heartbreak! No heartbreak!
