Yun Yu Qing finished pouring the tea.
She quickly pulled An Nuan to sit next to her and acted very intimate.
"Nuan Nuan, mom really likes you a lot. I'm over the moon that you can join our family," Yun Yu Qing said enthusiastically.
An Nuan smiled somewhat shyly.
After all, they weren't very familiar with each other yet.
"Mom has been talking about when you'll come back since early this morning," Ye Jingxuan's girlfriend Tong Zhitong spoke up calmly, the corners of her lips raised in a smile, "Didn't your grand wedding yesterday make so many people envious?! Seeing you two so intimate today, even I'm starting to get jealous. Jingxuan, don't they look so sweet?"
It sounded like flattery on the surface.
But An Nuan could sense something fishy about it.
She instinctively felt this woman had ulterior motives.
So, this was the "certain person" Ye Jinghuai had mentioned!
"My sister-in-law is so gentle and beautiful, of course my third brother would dote on her endlessly," Ye Jingxuan said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Tong Zhitong let out a light chuckle, her smile clearly meaningful.
"That's right," Yun Yu Qing suddenly spoke up, "You probably don't know everyone in the family yet, so let me introduce them to you."
Yun Yu Qing enthusiastically introduced all the family members.
Finally, she said, "The one at the very end is my precious daughter I desperately gave birth to, Ye Jingjing, 22 years old, the same age as you."
An Nuan was a bit surprised.
She was surprised because she had never heard there was a little daughter in the Ye family, only knowing of the existence of the three Ye sons. What was more astonishing was that Ye Jingjing clearly looked only 18 years old, she really thought the girl was still in high school.
Yun Yu Qing also saw An Nuan's bewilderment and explained, "Jingjing has had poor health since she was little, the doctor suggested she avoid going out as much as possible. So from a young age until now, she was basically homeschooled with tutors. I don't know if it's because she hasn't been exposed to society, but it makes Jingjing look much younger than her peers."
An Nuan nodded and remained observant.
"Sister-in-law, I prepared a gift for you," Ye Jingjing said softly.
When she spoke, her face was still a little red.
She took out an exquisite gift box and shyly handed it to An Nuan.
An Nuan accepted it.
As soon as she opened it, a pleasant fragrance wafted out, accompanied by elegant music. At first glance it made people feel very comfortable.
"This is a music box I personally designed, I added lavender essential oil inside. Lavender can help you sleep," Ye Jingjing quietly introduced her gift.
An Nuan didn't expect Ye Jingjing to be so thoughtful.
She quickly said, "I really like it, thank you."
"I'm glad you like it, I was really worried you would find something like this worthless," Ye Jingjing said gently as water.
"In my heart this is a priceless treasure, money can't buy it."
"Mm," Ye Jingjing smiled very sweetly.
She had an appearance of being well-behaved and charming.
An Nuan was thinking,
We're both little sisters, why is Gu Yanxing so unpopular.
Later she realized she was too naive.
Little sisters are born difficult to please.
Seeing their interaction, Tong Zhitong gloated and said, "It seems little sister really likes you as a sister-in-law."
An Nuan's eyebrows wrinkled.
Tong Zhitong directly changed the topic, "I just introduced myself as Jingxuan's girlfriend earlier, but in fact I'm also very close with Jinghuai, we were college classmates and confidantes. Nuan Nuan wouldn't be jealous, right?!"
It was truly blatant provocation.
She laughed, "Of course not, who doesn't have a few friends. Moreover, Jinghuai used to have so many girlfriends, if I really got jealous, how could I be with him."
An Nuan spoke very calmly, but was actually sarcastically implying Tong Zhitong not to think too highly of herself.
She didn't even care about Ye Jinghuai's ex-girlfriends, let alone someone claiming to be his bosom friend.
Tong Zhitong could also hear An Nuan's ridicule. She had thought An Nuan was a woman raised with traditional values, only knowing to yield. She hadn't imagined at all that An Nuan would retort so sharply, she didn't think An Nuan would say such things. A woman like An Nuan should make peace and swallow her grievances.
"Can't Nuan Nuan even take a little joke?" Tong Zhitong deliberately shifted the contradiction onto An Nuan.
"Jinghuai and I just got married, no matter what my relationship with Gu Yanxing is now, as a man he would still feel annoyed. I feel sister-in-law's joke goes too far," An Nuan spoke extremely directly.
Tong Zhitong was embarrassed by An Nuan and was about to refute her when,
An Nuan continued, "I don't really care, upright people have nothing to fear from crooked shadows. I'm just afraid Jinghuai would get jealous."
"Yes, I would get jealous," Ye Jinghuai chimed in.
The two sang in harmony as husband and wife.
Tong Zhitong was so angry her face turned red.
"Let's not talk about the past anymore. Jinghuai and Nuan Nuan are together now, we should bless them with a century of happiness and to have children soon," Yun Yu Qing hurriedly smoothed things over.
"Maybe they already have a child last night," Lu Jiaru also hurried to agree.
Not letting the atmosphere become too awkward.
In her heart she also felt a bit vindicated.
Tong Zhitong had always been arrogant in this family, and was finally ridiculed by An Nuan until her face turned green.
"I feel a bit stifled, I'll go out for some air," Tong Zhitong left in a huff.
It was obvious she had lost face.
Ye Jingxuan also quickly said, "She just has a big temper, no tact. Little sister, don't take it to heart."
"I won't," An Nuan smiled very gently, appearing magnanimous.
"I'll go see how she's doing," Ye Jingxuan followed her out.
Ye Jinghuai looked completely unconcerned. He even yawned and casually said, "Didn't sleep well last night, I'm going upstairs to nap."
"Take Nuan Nuan with you at the same time. If you didn't sleep well, she definitely didn't either," Yun Yu Qing urged.
It sounded like a very ordinary sentence.
But when said, the meaning was completely different.
An Nuan's face turned red at that moment.
