Chapter 448: An Erge's Sweetheart Has Arrived (Extra Chapter 1)

"Then why did she come to the house?" Although Grandmother never interfered in the romantic affairs of the younger generation, she was a bit bewildered by this situation.

They hadn't confirmed their relationship yet, and it had been such a short time.

Coming to someone else's home to meet the parents—wasn't that a bit against the rules?

However, Grandmother didn't spell it out; after all, these were the children's feelings, and as elders, they could only offer suggestions, but as for the final outcome, the path was still one the children had to walk themselves.

"Ahem!" Yun Qi looked at An Yinan helplessly.

An Yinan touched her own face; why did she feel like An Erge's expression held some resentment?

What did it have to do with her? She had only just returned today, and she wouldn't have provoked her future second sister-in-law, would she?

Chen Xun had been standing by Nan Nan's side and naturally saw Yun Qi's expression; he looked at his innocent-looking wife, "An Erge, what exactly is going on?"

Yun Qi checked his watch.

"She's almost here, you'll know in a moment!"

Yun Qi's pitiful gaze also turned toward Chen Xun.

Chen Xun was even more confused; what did it have to do with him?

He had only arrived from the Northeast Military Region yesterday, and his transfer orders hadn't even been fully processed yet.

"I'm going to pick her up." Once Yun Qi confirmed the time, he hurried toward the entrance of the Dayuan.

Without someone from the inside to meet them, it was truly difficult for outsiders to enter the Dayuan.

"What is going on?" Liu Xicai asked Fang Hong.

Fang Hong thought for a moment, and suddenly she thought of something, "Nan Nan, do you have any friends who don't have a partner yet?"

An Yinan nodded; there were far too many people without partners.

Zhang Jia, Yun Duo, Er Ya, and Li Xiu'e all didn't have partners.

Wait!

"Second Aunt, you don't suspect that An Erge's partner is my friend, do you?"

Fang Hong nodded, "Looking at him like that, it must have something to do with you."

"I was just worried!"

"At his age, if he's finally opening up for the first time, who knows what kind of mess he might make?"

"Hearing you say that, I'm relieved."

She had met a few of Nan Nan's friends during Nan Nan's wedding.

But there were also many she hadn't met.

However, if they could be called friends by Nan Nan, their character wouldn't be bad.

A family like theirs didn't care about the other party's family background; they just wanted a child with good character so the two could live their own little life well.

"Let me think." Before she left, she hadn't noticed anything unusual about any of her friends.

During that conversation with An Erge, he hadn't indicated any specific traits either.

Was it really her friend?

Who could it be?

Little Yun Duo was too young, and her mind was too simple; she wasn't suited for the cunning An Erge.

Zhang Jia didn't seem suitable either; despite her seemingly carefree nature, she was actually a person who valued loyalty very much.

One could tell from the various ways she helped out.

In her view, Zhang Jia was better suited for a soldier, although she herself didn't seem to like that much.

Er Ya? She was honest and simple; if it were An Erge, wouldn't she be bullied to death by him? No, no.

Li Xiu'e? Would it be like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung?

Why, looking at it this way, did her own An Erge seem a bit unworthy?

If Yun Qi knew her thoughts, he would definitely perform a razor-swallowing act immediately!!!

"Sorry for the intrusion today, I hope the elders will forgive me!" She wore a pale yellow long dress, her hair pulled into a bun, revealing her swan-like neck.

This outfit added a touch of playfulness to her naturally uncompetitive, gentle-as-water personality.

"Li Xiu'e, it really is you!" An Yinan looked at her, feeling a sense of regret and heartache.

"Nan Nan, the others are outside; they didn't want to disturb your family reunion, but everyone wanted to see you." Li Xiu'e looked at her with disapproval.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have intruded so rashly.

She had come to visit before even confirming the relationship, all because of this girl.

She had disappeared for more than ten days without a word.

How could they not be worried?

"Yun Qi, go bring the young ladies in." Liu Xicai gave the order directly.

These children, being able to worry so much about Nan Nan, were good people regardless!

An Yinan looked at her eldest uncle.

This wasn't an ordinary place; she meant that she should go out herself.

However, since the family had gathered so completely because of her, it wouldn't seem right if she left.

"Yun Qi, Yun Bi, Beibei, you go pick them up." Yun Fei added two more people, representing the importance the Yun Family placed on them.

"No need, no need, they have a place to stay, and naturally they don't want to ruin Nan Nan's reunion; we can just gather after the family finishes," Li Xiu'e waved her hands and spoke quickly.

She didn't mean to make Nan Nan choose between them!!

An Yinan smiled and brought Li Xiu'e into the living room; they had been standing near the door the whole time they were talking.

"Grandmother, this is my friend, Li Xiu'e."

"I met her when I went to the countryside."

Grandmother looked at Li Xiue with an expression that was absolutely that of looking at a granddaughter-in-law, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

She had just thought she didn't understand the rules, but it turned out she had come to see her own granddaughter, so that was being very well-mannered indeed.

Such a good girl! She wondered if she would be able to take a fancy to her grandson?

"Grandmother!" Li Xiue said helplessly, but she followed An Yinan's form of address.

Grandmother did not make things difficult for the young girl, nodding with a smile, "Good girl, sit down and stay a while, just treat it like your own home, no need to be reserved."

Li Xiue looked at Nan Nan, feeling somewhat at a loss.

She actually had very little experience getting along with elders; after leaving home, her family had never contacted her, and she had been at the Frontline for so long that she had never returned home either.

The letters she had written back had all vanished like a stone into the sea.

Occasionally she would mail some money back, not that she didn't want to give it, but Qiu Hua had warned her not to whet their appetites, lest they end up biting a piece of flesh off her before they were satisfied.

"My home is my sister's home," An Yinan said.

Only then did Li Xiue relax; she had been afraid that it was only because of her relationship with Yun Qi that she was being treated this way.

But given her current relationship with Yun Qi, it was not yet appropriate to be so close to the Yun Family.

The progress was too fast, which made her feel panicked.

However, hearing Nan Nan's words, she had made it clear that it was because of her, so she could relax.

"Okay." Li Xiue smiled, her spine was not as tense, and she relaxed.

She chatted with Grandmother about some interesting anecdotes from the countryside and also talked about some of Nan Nan's experiences.

The Yun Family wanted to hear all these things, but previously they hadn't dared to ask.

Hearing them spoken by someone else, with an objective perspective, made the Yun Family feel even more heartache for the two siblings.

Especially for Nan Nan, as Beibei was still small at that time and had to rely on Nan Nan for everything.

"An Erge, why don't you go back first?" Yun Bi and Beibei looked at their second brother, whose mind was already inside the room, and could hardly believe it.

Was this their former second brother?

Had someone swapped his core?

Nan Nan was right there in the room, would she let her friend be wronged? Looking at the anxious look on An Erge's face, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they truly couldn't have imagined it.
