Chapter 588: If you're like this, can Li Xiu'e handle it?

"Don't worry, Grandmother is in good health, and the two babies are also doing very well. It's just that Big Aunt had an appointment today to take the two babies for their vaccinations. Everyone in the family, every single one of them, went along to the hospital, so they delegated me to call you," Yun Qi said with a helpless smile.

In the past, Nan Nan was the treasure; everything in the family revolved around her, but now...

"Your status seems to be about to be snatched away by your two little treasures..." Yun Qi teased his younger sister.

An Yinan rolled her eyes. Although Yun Qi couldn't see it, she made no effort to hide her disdain for his childishness.

"An Erge, with you being like this, can Li Xiu'e handle it?" An Yinan couldn't help but tease.

She knew exactly how to strike a nerve...

Yun Qi coughed uncomfortably twice, then said, "About when will you be back?"

An Yinan calculated the days and sighed, "It's estimated to be more than a year..."

She came to Hong Kong City, and gathering money is just the preliminary preparation; the real war hasn't even begun yet. As a general representing the country, how could she retreat?

"Alright..." Yun Qi fell silent for a moment.

"What's the matter?" An Yinan heard Yun Qi's hesitation and was somewhat surprised.

Hesitation—this emotion could appear on anyone's face, but it absolutely would not appear on An Erge's face.

Yun Qi was a man with deep strategies; for every step he took, he had already calculated countless steps ahead. Every step he took was firm, and he could accept the outcome of everything.

"Xiue said she is only willing to get married when you return," Yun Qi said with some helplessness.

That was what Xiue said at the time; Nan Nan didn't attend Qiu Hua's wedding, and she already felt very guilty about it.

She must attend her own, otherwise, Nan Nan would feel guilty.

They didn't have many sisters, and in Li Xiue's heart, these people were closer than blood relatives; they were the people she cared about most.

Listening from over there, Nan Nan also knew that An Erge and Li Xiu'e were not young anymore, and dragging it out like this wasn't the right thing to do.

But if she returned to Beijing, the time required would not be just a day or two; it would take nearly a week to go back and forth. Moreover, once she moved, the people protecting her would have to move, which would likely be very difficult.

"An Erge, have you ever thought about holding two weddings?" An Yinan asked.

"Two?" Yun Qi was a bit bewildered.

"No, no, I am only marrying Xiue; I won't marry anyone else."

Yun Qi was so scared his face turned pale. In this life of his, was it easy to like someone?

Was Nan Nan trying to set him up, or was she giving him a test?

But she couldn't set her brother up like this! This was wanting him dead!

"It's not that..." An Yinan was speechless for a moment.

"I mean, you could hold one in Pengcheng and one in Beijing."

"Pengcheng has already undergone great changes; you can bring Grandmother, Big Aunt, and the Second Aunt over to have some fun, and let you two have a honeymoon trip."

"There should be a sense of surprise before marriage, and it also needs to be maintained after marriage."

"There is the sea here, and there are high-rise buildings here; you can take your wedding photos while you're at it." An Yinan spoke bit by bit, her eyes growing brighter and brighter, feeling more and more that it was feasible.

She couldn't let the two of them just wait like this because of her own reasons.

But... returning to Beijing, a single day was a Deadly Acupoint; she couldn't go back. The stock market was ever-changing, and she couldn't get away for even a day. Although Zhang Cheng could stand on his own, his speed at raking in money was... too slow.

"I will discuss it with Xiue." Although Yun Qi said this, he had already calculated his own vacation time.

Mother was already slowly training new people to take over and was gradually stepping down from the Compilation Bureau. However, she hadn't handed over An Yinan's line to anyone. In this current era, although Nan Nan's importance was not what it used to be, the country's protection of Nan Nan had never relaxed.

Nan Nan's file had even been transferred out of the Compilation Bureau and into the country's National Secret Bureau.

However, the task files handled by the Compilation Bureau still required confidentiality arrangements.

"I'm just making a suggestion; you two discuss it yourselves. If it doesn't work, let me talk to Li Xiu'e then. I can't return to Beijing in the short term, so I'll likely miss your wedding," An Yinan said cheerfully. She knew how much her friends cared, but she couldn't delay the two of them.

If it were a month or two, they could wait, but a year or two was enough for many things to happen.

"Everything at home is very good, you don't need to worry. Dabao and Xiaobao are very well-behaved; they haven't made a fuss since you left. Yun Zhi has been watching over them, and now they are fair and chubby, smiling at everyone they see. People in the Dayuan all say they are little lucky dolls." Yun Qi knew that what Nan Nan was most worried about right now must be the two children.

He spoke naturally about the children's daily life, how the two babies drooled, and how the two children peed on Big Uncle, making Big Uncle's face turn black, yet he stubbornly held back and didn't lose his temper at all.

There was also Second Uncle who had returned from Heilongjiang Province specifically to see the two children.

One thing after another, every single detail, was telling Nan Nan.

Don't worry, you have family.

An Yinan listened, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile. She didn't cry, nor did she interrupt. She cherished these little things about the children, these moments she, as a mother, had to miss.

"Alright, that's it for today. I've said enough; Big Aunt even said she wanted to tell you as a surprise," Yun Qi explained with a chuckle. He hadn't spoken this much in a long time, which made his throat a bit dry.

"Oh right, Nan Nan, I want you to help me order a lady's watch in Hong Kong City, along with some other things that can be used as betrothal gifts. If I don't have enough money, you help me cover it, and I will give it to you as soon as possible."

"Also, please help me design a set of wedding clothes. For the man, it will be a Zhongshan Suit, and for the woman, you know better than I do what suits Xiue."

Yun Qi left this matter for last; even if Big Aunt and Grandmother hadn't come to call today, he would have brought it up.

This was his Yun Family's regard for Xiue, and it was also his own heart.

Xiue had no family left, so he would give her family. All the affection she lacked, he would give to her without reservation.

"I know. I'll provide the wedding clothes. As for the money for the betrothal gifts, I will definitely ask you for it," An Yinan answered cheerfully.

The wedding clothes were something she, as a younger sister, was willing to provide for An Erge.

But the betrothal gifts must be provided by An Erge; that was An Erge's sincerity, and she, as his younger sister, couldn't deprive him of that.

If she did everything, how would An Erge show his own feelings?

"Good, then I thank you," Yun Qi said, feeling relieved after hearing An Yinan's words.

He was afraid that Nan Nan would take everything upon herself, and then he wouldn't know how to refuse his younger sister.

"You're welcome, we're family!" An Yinan replied nonchalantly on the other end of the phone.

Yun Qi felt a wave of helplessness...

He didn't know how Chen Xun put up with this little demon child. Her temperament changed day by day; when busy with work, she was a strong career woman who couldn't attend to anything else.

But whenever it came to daily life, sometimes she was quirky and clever, and sometimes she was always up to mischief.
