Chapter 186: The Meaning of Yinan

"I was just afraid of leading the eldest sister astray, so I changed the subject," An Yinan whispered into Chen Xun's ear to explain.

Only then did Chen Xun understand his wife's train of thought.

"Then aren't you afraid that by changing the subject, you'll make the eldest sister-in-law want to run away from the wedding? When the time comes, the eldest brother will be looking to us for his wife," Chen Xun asked.

An Yinan widened her eyes and blinked, "No, surely not?"

Yun Qin and Chen Yeye watched the two of them whispering.

"What are you two talking about?" After the Chen family finished buying things and had just entered the room, they saw a strange scene; it was so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard.

"They are talking about running away from the wedding," An Xiangbei stood up from behind a chair. He had just been sitting on a small stool doing problems, so no one had noticed there was still a little guy in the room.

Chen Jia looked at his wife helplessly.

Yun Qin immediately raised three fingers, imitating the way An Yinan had just done, "It wasn't me who said it."

An Yinan covered her eyes; it was over, she had led the eldest sister astray.

The eldest sister is a bit silly!

Chen Jia was even more helpless and said to Chen Xun, "Keep an eye on your wife."

Chen Xun nodded, feeling in the wrong; who told his wife to be so charming!

"Sigh, pregnancy makes one foolish for three years," An Yinan sighed, grabbed her sister's hand, and quickly stopped the swearing gesture.

After Chen Jia sent the vegetables to the kitchen and had just sat down on the sofa, Chen Yeye said, "There is a courtyard in the front, there is a swing and rattan chair over there, and there is a small pavilion in the back courtyard, with a few pots of small flowers on the side that should be blooming now. You two choose a place each; you don't need to keep me company."

An Yinan looked at Chen Yeye, and Chen Yeye laughed, "Go on, today when you go back, I expect the in-laws won't let you come over anymore. If there is anything to entrust or anything that needs to be said, go say it quickly. Don't keep talking about running away from the wedding; it sounds scary."

"I'm at such an old age, my heart isn't very good."

An Yinan's face turned red with a *boom*, "I was just joking, Grandfather, you are teasing me too."

"Haha, the little rascal is even shy? You two go quickly, Beibei will stay here to keep me company, and I'll call you when it's time to eat," the old man said, shooing the two pairs out.

Chen Xun pulled An Yinan directly to the back courtyard. There was a small wooden pavilion in the back, designed very simply without those carved beams and painted rafters; it was just for cooling off.

"The wedding is the day after tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to do?" Chen Xun looked at his young girl and asked.

An Yinan thought for a moment, then shook her head. She had already sent out the invitations to everyone who needed to be invited before they set off from the Northeast Camp.

Moreover, since she transmigrated here, she hadn't met many people, and the deepest ties were all related to Quanshui Village, and the people there probably couldn't make it.

Chen Xun took a ring out from his bosom, "Wait until later, I'll change it for you."

The ring was pure silver, with no complicated patterns on it, only a few cloud designs. An Yinan liked it very much and reached out her hand.

Chen Xun put the ring on her finger. In the current era, jewelry would cause trouble, and he had no way to make her something more exquisite.

"You made this?" An Yinan discovered in surprise that this ring fit her finger perfectly.

Chen Xun nodded, "Do you like it?"

An Yinan curled her lips, "Of course."

"You Yun Er Nan" (Like clouds and heading south) was written on the inner circle of the ring.

"Eh?" An Yinan was a bit confused when she saw this sentence; she didn't understand what it meant.

Chen Xun smiled, took out the red string he had prepared from his pocket, put the silver ring on the red string, and then put it around An Yinan's neck.

"Did your parents ever tell you the origin of your name?" Chen Xun asked.

An Yinan thought for a while, then shook her head.

"'Like clouds and heading south,' it comes from the Northern Wei dynasty, Li Daoyuan's *Commentary on the Water Classic: River Water*."

"The meaning of Yinan is to have foresight, patience, ambition, vitality, intelligence, smoothness, and warmth."

"I reckon that when our Mom and Dad chose this name, they must have placed deep hope in it."

"Nan Nan, there are many people who love you." Chen Xun sometimes felt that Nan Nan seemed not to exist; this feeling made him panic, and he really wanted to use something to grab her and keep her.

An Yinan thought of her parents in this life, and also thought of the Dean mother from her previous life.

She thought it was just a name.

She thought it was a coincidence.

Unexpectedly...

Yinan has so many meanings, and every single meaning is so beautiful.

"So there are so many people who love me." An Yinan closed her eyes.

She had never explored what Yinan meant or how Yinan was interpreted.

Never!

Now she thinks she is lucky, because there is someone telling her that Yinan symbolizes everything beautiful.

He is also telling her that there are many people who love her.

Chen Xun pulled the girl into his arms, and the fullness in his arms made him satisfied.

"Yes, but I love you even more." Chen Xun lowered his head and gazed at her.

An Yinan raised her head and looked at the man's face, bumping right into eyes filled with deep affection.

"I love you too."

Love? Yes, love! An Yinan had always known she loved him.

Chen Xun's heart beat violently, without any rhythm.

It seemed like a rabbit had lost its sense of proportion, rushing around wildly, making one want to catch it, but it was too agile and there was simply no way to get a grip on it.

At the tip of his heart, there was suddenly a tingling sensation, like a meteor, leaving behind a trail as it streaked across.

His entire brain seemed to suddenly have fireworks blooming, colorful and brilliant, illuminating the entire night sky.

Love, she said she loved him for the first time.

The shock in his heart was beyond measure.

She appeared to be a very carefree girl, but she had the most delicate heart; she could quickly perceive any emotion others had.

Her heart would open with extreme caution, and at the slightest movement, it would quickly close shut.

He understood her caution, and he also understood her carefree nature.

Just as the two were gazing affectionately at each other, An Xiangbei shouted loudly, "Time to eat!"

Chen Xun helplessly curled the corners of his lips, while An Yinan blossomed into a smile, then pushed at the arm that hadn't let go of her, "Time to eat."

Chen Xun sighed, "I finally understand now what it means when they say the most troublesome person is the brother-in-law."

An Yinan laughed out loud, "Not bad, be content."

"Content," Chen Xun nodded.

When the two returned to the Main Hall, Chen Jia and Yun Qin had already returned as well.

Father Chen had already brought the dishes to the table and said to everyone, "This shredded potato with vinegar and chili, I stir-fried it."

"And this winter melon soup, I stewed it."

"You all must have a good taste of it in a moment."

An Xiangbei supported Chen Yeye as they walked over and sat in the main seat.

The godfather and godmother sat on one side of the old man, Chen Jia and Yun Qin sat on the other side, followed by Chen Xun and An Yinan, with An Xiangbei sitting next to An Yinan.

The Chen Family did not have any long rectangular tables, just a large round table, and everyone was lively when eating.

"Hurry and taste my cooking; Qinqin hasn't eaten food made by me yet," Sun Chunhua greeted everyone.
