Pei Yicheng held her hand, giving her silent strength.
Xu Nianhua snapped out of her thoughts when she felt the strength in her hand. She turned her head and saw the handsome Pei Yicheng, giving him a gentle smile, knowing she would no longer be the timid girl who let others bully her.
In this life, it’s not just my eldest brother, but also my second brother and Yicheng, with them around, my heart feels very much at ease.
With these thoughts in mind, even a faint smile appeared on Xu Nianhua’s face. Go ahead, she thought, after all, she didn’t consider the Gu Family her own family, more like a distant relative’s home she didn’t like.
"Little sister, we are all here." Xu Nianji and Xu Nian’an stood beside Xu Nianhua, showing their support as they went into the room, only to meet Fang Yue and Gu Mingzhu at the door.
Gu Mingzhu, with her big belly, was very enthusiastic when she saw Xu Nianhua, walking up to her excitedly and saying, "Sister, I finally have a sister too."
Gu Mingzhu held Xu Nianhua’s hand, tears of excitement falling down.
If it wasn’t for Xu Nianji, who knew the truth, one would surely think this sister was indeed good upon witnessing this scene.
Xu Nianji could only feel goosebumps rising all over his body. How did Gu Mingzhu manage to strike against him secretly and then put on such an excited reunion act?
Xu Nianhua discreetly pulled her hand away, took a step back, and said, "I’ve only had two brothers since I was little, so I’m not used to having a sister."
"It’s okay, it’s all that darned thief’s fault that we sisters got separated for over twenty years. In the future, the more time we spend together, the more feelings we’ll surely develop." Gu Mingzhu’s voice was gentle and sincere. While holding her waist, she said, "Look at me, Mom, you must be thrilled, right? Our family is finally reunited."
Fang Yue nodded enthusiastically, wiping her eyes while saying words of reunion, inviting them into the house where fruits and sodas were already prepared in the living room.
"Where’s Uncle Gu?" Xu Nian’an looked around and didn’t see Gu Hai, so he asked directly.
"Something came up temporarily at his pharmaceutical factory, so he went there. Don’t worry, her dad knew she was coming back, so he specifically had Aunt Xiu prepare lots of delicious food," Fang Yue explained, adding, "If it weren’t absolutely necessary at the factory, her dad wouldn’t have gone. He just wants to see more of his daughter."
Fang Yue looked at Pei Yicheng and asked, "And this is...?"
Fang Yue had previously met Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianji, but not Pei Yicheng. Especially with Pei Yicheng and Xu Nianhua sitting together, it was hard to ignore his presence, not to mention his handsome appearance, which made him even more impossible to overlook.
"He’s my boyfriend," Xu Nianhua introduced frankly: "Pei Yicheng."
Fang Yue glanced at Pei Yicheng and then at Xu Nianhua, her surprise undisguised as she said, "Aren’t you still in school?"
"I’m twenty-one this year, the legal age for marriage," Xu Nianhua replied, without changing her words due to Fang Yue’s displeasure. Since she decided to come with Pei Yicheng, she hadn’t planned on hiding anything.
"Hello, Auntie." Orıginal content can be found at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽
Pei Yicheng introduced himself, "I’m Pei Yicheng, Nianhua’s boyfriend."
Being introduced so openly by Xu Nianhua made Pei Yicheng feel as sweet as eating honey. Although the Gu family wasn’t liked by the Xu family, he liked being introduced openly so that he could openly protect Nianhua.
