Chapter 133: Is the Eldest Sister-in-law Yun Qin?

An Yinan set down her chopsticks and swallowed the food in her mouth. "There is no need for that. Regarding the greater good, when the nest is overturned, are there any intact eggs left?"

"Regarding human sentiment, I provide the formula, and my husband's path in the Military becomes smoother."

"Regarding myself, I am safer, and it has diverted my attention; it kills many birds with one stone."

Yun Qi was silent for a long time. She was much younger than Yun Shu, yet in terms of both her big-picture perspective and her clarity, she was far superior.

That she could think so deeply was even more unexpected to him.

"You surprise me," Yun Qi said truthfully.

Outside, he was a smiling tiger, deep in thought, and calculating against others was a common occurrence for him.

But toward his family, he was willing to give everything to protect them.

He loved the Military dearly, but the Yun Family needed someone in politics. His eldest sister, Yun Qin, had a simple mind and was better suited for the pure environment of the army, so he resolutely chose the political path.

In truth, his eldest uncle was his idol, but it seemed he could no longer follow his idol's path.

Protecting the Yun Family seemed more important. That year, he was twenty years old and made the decision to enter politics.

An Yinan shook her head. "You surprise me, too."

"Oh?" Yun Qi was a bit curious; how would this younger sister describe him?

"At first, the feeling you gave me was that of someone gentle as jade, someone who should be in scientific research. Later, I realized I was wrong—wrong to a ridiculous degree. All your coldness and darkness are hidden beneath that gentle-as-jade facade, masking your deepest thoughts."

Yun Qi looked at An Yinan without speaking.

"Yun Shu is very afraid of you, to the point that it has become an instinct."

The mentioned Yun Shu nodded affirmatively. She was truly afraid; every time she saw her second brother's smiling eyes, she felt a chill down her back, and she felt that the next second, her head might be moved to a new home.

Don't ask why; it was a kind of intuition.

If one were to ask if her second brother had really done anything to hurt them? Not really. In fact, most of the time, her second brother was helping them and caring for them.

"You must be very tired, right?" An Yinan said.

Yun Qi's gradually cooling heart was suddenly struck by a ray of light, shining into the deepest part of his soul.

"Why do you ask that?"

An Yinan smiled. "Comrade Yun Fei joined the Military, Yun Qin joined the Military, and Comrade Yun Ge entered politics to search for Yun Liu. Then what about you? Why did you enter politics?"

That Zhongshan Suit he wore—is it his source of pain?

"Shall I take a guess?"

"To guard the back door for the Yun Family. The Yun Family has walked through the most turbulent of eras; not only do they need people to charge forward, but they also need someone with a steady mind to guard their backs, and you are that back."

Yun Qi smiled. He had the feeling of having found a kindred spirit.

But this kindred spirit was a bit different; she was meticulous, her intelligence was nearly demonic, yet she lived very clearly and lived very much for herself.

Being like this, it was good that she didn't return to the Yun Family.

Every time they interacted, it gave him new insights, and he was increasingly pleasantly surprised.

"You are very smart, but also too smart. People who are too smart are easily envied; you need to hide it a little," Yun Qi said.

Just as the words fell, the door was knocked upon.

After Yun Shu opened the door, she saw the cold-faced Snow Ghost, Chen Xun, outside.

Later, when An Yinan asked him, she learned that Snow Ghost was his codename.

"You're here?" An Yinan asked with a smile.

The moment he saw An Yinan, Chen Xun's expression softened significantly, and his entire aura changed.

It was the first time Yun Qi had ever known that a person could have such a massive change.

"Chen Xun."

Chen Xun looked up at him. "Yun Qi."

An Yinan looked at the two of them in surprise. How could two people who shouldn't know each other possibly know one another?

"You two?"

Yun Qi gestured with his palm, signaling for Chen Xun to introduce himself.

Chen Xun sat next to An Yinan, and Yun Shu sat on the other side, forming a 1v3 dynamic.

"My grandfather and Grandfather Yun lived in the same Dayuan. My brother and I grew up playing with the Yun children." Of course, it was a different kind of "battle" relationship.

This was somewhat unexpected. She had thought her foster parents were just in the County.

So there was this layer of connection as well?

She remembered that when Comrade Yun Ge came to Quanshui Village, he had mentioned her foster father. She had thought it was a relationship between comrades-in-arms or something similar; she hadn't expected it to be deeper.

"By the way, do you know what the eldest sister-in-law's name is?" Chen Xun asked.

An Yinan was dazed for a moment and shook her head.

She remembered that the first thing the eldest sister-in-law said when introducing herself was, "I am your eldest sister-in-law?"

Yun Qi seemed to have thought of it too, and he looked at Chen Xun and An Yinan strangely.

"The eldest sister-in-law's name is Yun Qin." Chen Xun carefully placed the dish she liked into An Yinan's bowl.

An Yinan was stunned. The relationships were so complicated; let me slowly sort them out.

So the person who had been corresponding with her was Yun Qin?

That soldier from the special operations unit, the one who spoke coldly but never lacked concern.

She was Yun Qin.

"How can that be?" An Yinan looked up. Wasn't it said that the eldest brother saved the eldest sister-in-law, and then the two of them developed feelings for each other?

Chen Xun rubbed her hair, soothing his slightly ruffled wife.

"Sister-in-law is five years older than brother. When she was little, she was like a doll; if anyone provoked her even a little, she would cry non-stop. Yun Qi wouldn't even make a move; he would just use all sorts of underhanded ways to get revenge for her."

"We were mischievous when we were kids, and we didn't suffer his underhanded tactics any less."

"Later, when Brother and Sister-in-law went to carry out a mission, both of them used codenames, and they didn't recognize each other. One was a mischievous boy, the other a crybaby girl; who could have imagined it?"

"Later still, after the mission ended, they made contact at the hospital, and only then did they realize that they were each other's childhood enemies."

"And so the subsequent story began."

An Yinan thought about the entanglement between the two; it could truly be called a tale of love, hate, and enmity.

Yun Qi smiled, "My aunt always liked to dress up children. My eldest sister was always dressed like a little princess when she was young, and her personality was a bit delicate."

"No one expected that someone so delicate would join the Military."

This really is... when fate arrives, can it be stopped?

"But, why did you come over?" Chen Xun asked Yun Qi.

And what was with the 'eldest sister' thing? Did these two have some secret?

Yun Qi gave him an annoyed look; this was the brat who was about to snatch away his younger sister.

The older brother had just snatched away his older sister, and now the younger brother was going to snatch away his younger sister.

Was it just because he had played a few tricks on them when they were young? Were they taking revenge on him like this now that they were grown up?

"Regarding the matter of Nan Nan's Hemostatic Medicine, I wasn't at ease with anyone else coming, so I came myself," Yun Qi said.

Chen Xun was even more confused. What did the matter of Nan Nan's Hemostatic Medicine have to do with him? What was he not at ease about?

Compared to being jealous, Chen Xun trusted An Yinan more.

The three of them talked about Chen Xun's childhood, talked about the Yun Family and the Chen Family, talked about the Hemostatic Medicine, and chatted about the eldest sister or sister-in-law.

In any case, the meal was enjoyed by both host and guests.

An Yinan and Chen Xun returned to the Xiao Yuan, and Chen Xun held her hand, carefully tracing the contours of her fingers.
