Chapter 190: Not passionate, yet memorable

Landlady wore the clothes sewn in that new floral pattern, with one flower positioned right on her back; as her body swayed, it looked as if the flower were slowly blooming, which was extremely beautiful.

"Welcome, Landlady." An Yinan smiled shyly.

Liu Mei and Liu Yun had already walked over; waiting for Landlady to finish speaking, the two of them stepped forward and pinched An Yinan's cheeks.

"May you be joined in heart forever."

"May you grow old together."

The two cousins looked at each other and smiled; they sincerely hoped this girl would be happy.

An Yinan hugged them both, "Thank you, Liu Mei and Liu Yun; I really didn't expect you to come."

She truly had not expected that people from a thousand miles away could come to Beijing to attend her wedding.

With the Yun Family backing her, naturally, no one could look down on her.

Yet, deep down, she still felt a bit empty.

She hadn't expected that these people would all appear before her today, one by one, saying congratulations to her.

After the three of them were seated, An Yinan thought the surprises were over.

Chen Xun looked at the watch on his wrist, "It's time for them to arrive."

An Yinan turned her head to look at him, "Who?"

She had originally had no expectations, yet she hadn't expected so many surprises.

Her life partners, her friends, and Landlady representing the Textile Factory—all of them appearing before her was her greatest harvest today.

Chen Xun did not answer, because a series of footsteps had already approached.

An Yinan turned her head back and saw four people.

Yun Dan and Chen Shao walked on the sides, while in the middle followed two elderly people; they were none other than An Yinan's landlord and landlady.

The two were dressed in green, their hair combed very neatly; the two elders watched the girl in red standing in the distance, walking toward her step by step.

"Girl, may you get what you wish for, and may your life have no regrets."

May all the beauty in the world be given to you, and may all the bad things dissipate completely.

Landlady held An Yinan's hands, a smile on her face, sincere and earnest, without any selfish motives.

"Landlady, Landlord, I really... I really..." She was too moved to speak.

The two were already old, and Landlord's health was not very good; although his body was better than in previous years under the conditioning of the Health Pill, this was Beijing, and it took two train transfers and over a week of travel for them to come here.

"You are getting married; if we didn't come to see it, we wouldn't be able to set our minds at ease." Landlord looked at Chen Xun and nodded with satisfaction.

Only after seeing Chen Xun could the old couple finally put their hearts at ease.

The little girl was so wonderful and kind that the old couple truly hoped there would always be light in her eyes.

"Nan Nan." Yun Dan stepped forward and hugged An Yinan.

She had always felt a sense of familiarity, yet she could never quite put her finger on it.

But when she was on the verge of death, it was this girl who had stepped in and saved her life.

Later, she found out that she was actually her own niece, the flesh and blood of her older sister.

"Auntie." An Yinan smiled, feeling the warmth in the woman's embrace.

Finally, Chen Shao patted Yun Dan's shoulders, "Dandan, today is Nan Nan's big day; you mustn't shed tears."

Yun Dan straightened up and then tidied An Yinan's clothes, "Hey, I'm old, and my temperament is getting harder and harder to control."

"Nan Nan, I wish you happiness."

An Yinan nodded heavily, "I will!"

Afterward, Chen Xun and An Yinan exchanged a glance; the husband and wife smiled at each other—they would be happy, happy forever.

"However... should I call you Uncle Chen, or Auntie's husband?" An Yinan looked at Chen Shao.

To tell the truth, she had never changed how she addressed him because she was already used to it.

Chen Shao laughed, "Calling me Uncle Chen or Auntie's husband is fine; actually, I think Uncle Chen is more habitual."

An Yinan nodded in agreement.

Because of the relationship between the Yun Family and the Chen Family, there were many guests, but mother-in-law Sun Chunhua and eldest aunt-in-law Liu Xicai were very attentive; they arranged for An Yinan and Chen Xun to sit at that special table.

This table was filled entirely with people An Yinan was familiar with.

Everyone watched as An Yinan walked over in her red dress, and each of them revealed a knowing smile.

"Hurry and eat something; you must be exhausted, right?" Li Xiue pulled An Yinan to sit down and then quickly ladled a bowl of soup for her to warm her stomach first.

An Yinan held the soup and then raised the bowl high, "Thank you all."

Everyone looked at each other and laughed.

The smiles of this group were so sincere and so bright, like the early morning sun, coming with scorching light.

Such smiles seemed contagious; after seeing them, everyone raised their own smiling faces.

"Nan is truly amazing to be able to know so many good friends." Yun Yan looked at his sister, who was revealing a genuine smile, and offered his blessings as well.

Yun Qi smiled and ruffled Yun Yan's hair, "Yun Yan, Nan is even more amazing than you imagine."

Yun Yan looked up at his brother, "Is that so?"

Yun Qi looked down at him and nodded firmly, "Yun Yan, take her as your goal; perhaps you can go even further."

Yun Qi thought back to their first meeting, when he had tried to tease Nan with twenty thousand to buy her formula, and the little girl had unyieldingly asked, "Then wouldn't it be better if you just bought the formulas directly from the ordinary workers?"

Unyielding, yet exceptionally attentive to relationships.

Yun Yan nodded; he admired his brother Yun Qi, as if there were nothing his brother couldn't do.

But since his brother told him to take Nan as his goal, then he would strive toward Nan.

The wedding banquet was enjoyed by both host and guests.

There was no wedding ceremony, nor was there a toasting round; it was just like an ordinary family dinner, only with more people and people of greater status and standing.

Both the Chen Family and the Yun Family are at the center of the storm; keeping a low profile is the rule for survival.

After seeing off the last of the guests, Sun Chunhua and Liu Xicai walked over; they were the busiest ones today, striving for perfection in everything from the dishes to the seating arrangements.

"Alright, the time from now on is your own; don't come back to the Dayuan until the day after tomorrow! I'm going shopping with my in-law, and I won't be home tomorrow, so I won't have time to cook for you," Sun Chunhua said with a smile.

Liu Xicai was also someone who had been through it all, so she naturally understood what her in-law meant.

"Yes, I'm going shopping with your mother-in-law tomorrow, so arrange your own time."

After the two finished speaking, they took the whole family and left.

Only the newlywed quartet remained, looking at each other.

Chen Jianhua nodded at Chen Xun, then said to Yun Qin, "We are heading back."

The two left hand in hand.

Chen Xun took An Yinan's hand, "I'll take you to a place."

Chen Xun had somehow parked a bicycle outside the State-run Restaurant; after unlocking it, he said to An Yinan, "Wife, get on."

An Yinan did not ask where they were going, nor did she ask what they were going to do.

Today, she wanted to trust this man completely.

The man who silently gave her surprises and silently finished all of this.

She hopped onto the back seat and hugged Chen Xun's waist; feeling that taut waist, An Yinan smiled silently.

Chen Xun rode the bike quickly, and after twenty minutes, they arrived at a place that was actually the vermilion gate of a Siheyuan.

"We're here." Chen Xun parked the bike and then took An Yinan's hand.

An Yinan raised an eyebrow but did not ask.

Chen Xun knocked on the door, the sound of footsteps came from within, and then the door opened; the friends they had just parted from walked out.
