Chapter 597: Invitation

Le Rong put away her thoughts, and seeing An Yinan's expression, she couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you so cute?"

"If you hadn't told me you were already married, and if not for the background check showing you have two babies."

"I really find it hard to imagine how there could be a young woman like you."

As Le Rong spoke, the corners of her eyes held a smile; here, she didn't need to hide her emotions.

Happy meant happy, unhappy meant unhappy; there was no need to pretend, nor any need to struggle to digest it all by herself.

"You must be very happy. Only a girl who is favored can be like you, able to move forward without any worries," Le Rong concluded.

She had wanted to befriend her before because of their consistency in viewing stocks; although they were women, they dared to think and dared to act.

Furthermore, a high-quality brain will inexplicably admire those who are smarter than oneself.

She was just such a person.

But from their last interaction, she discovered that An An was an interesting person, and interesting things always happened around her.

It made her unable to help but want to get closer.

She wanted to see if she had chosen a different path back then, whether she could have lived like her.

A few days ago, her son went back and told her that many families had recently sought out An An.

She thought for a long time before deciding to give this gift, to give her sufficient space for Development Economics.

A person like her must not be from the City.

If the City had someone like this, she would have long been recruited by the major families, or destroyed directly; it wouldn't have waited until now.

"I am very happy," An Yinan nodded affirmatively. Her gaze didn't move, but her peripheral vision was always watching that tall man.

When helpless, having a shoulder to lean on—how wonderful that is.

Being able to let go and fly, being able to move forward without any worries behind her.

Because he was always right behind her.

Whenever she turned back, he would always shield her behind him; she had never doubted this point.

The world only saw her charging forward, only saw her success, but Chen Xun always had a share in her medals of honor.

Without his support, without his unconditional encouragement, she wouldn't have walked this far, or perhaps wouldn't have walked this far so smoothly.

"You... will also be very happy," An Yinan looked at Le Rong, her eyes sincere, carrying comfort and hope.

Le Rong smiled, "Me? I'm old; I've already seen through these things."

There was someone living in her heart, a dead person; her whole life was trapped in shackles, so how could she be happy? How could she deserve to be happy?

"Let's talk about something happy. How did you think of sending me these?" She was truly pleasantly surprised.

She didn't like other things as much, but this was the thing she needed most right now.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about installing the Trading System before, but...

She was rejected by the Exchange; the required procedures and asset deposits, and most importantly, it also required a household registration...

So she gave up.

"Li Kun told me a few days ago that there are many people harassing you here."

"I just thought, there's nothing else I can give you, and the Trading System should be what you need most right now," Le Rong said with a chuckle, recounting an unusual matter as if it were an ordinary one.

"Really, thank you," An Yinan said.

Then she remembered something, "That... never mind."

This Trading System also had a hefty deposit, but if she brought it up, it would inevitably affect their relationship and hurt Le Rong's feelings.

She would find a way to repay her later.

Le Rong was stunned for a moment, naturally guessing something; she figured An An had already looked into exactly what was required.

But she didn't say it out loud, and her appreciation for her increased by a few points.

"Tomorrow is Saturday, just in time to have people install it. I've already made the appointment; leave someone at home tomorrow," Le Rong had arranged everything.

An Yinan tilted her head, "Then do you have time tomorrow? I wonder if you would do me the honor of coming to my little home to taste my cooking?"

That was just how she was; if others schemed against her, no matter how she schemed back, it was not excessive, even if she schemed them to death, that was what the other party deserved.

But...

Likewise, if others were good to her, she couldn't help but be good to them.

Just because of a White Rabbit candy from Yuanyuan, they had been friends until now, and she would protect her for life.

That was just An Yinan!

She possessed courage, but even more so, a sense of chivalry.

Yun Fei had said that Nan Nan was born in the wrong era; if she were in ancient times, she would definitely be a wandering knight, acting with chivalry and righteousness.

"Is that okay?" Le Rong said, pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, as long as you don't mind my cooking," An Yinan smiled, "After all, as a lady of a great family, what good things haven't you eaten?"

Le Rong deliberately put on a straight face, "I have never eaten food made by An An."

"Then tomorrow, I will definitely pay a visit."

After Le Rong finished speaking, she didn't even bother to take the tea leaves, simply grabbing her handbag and turning to leave, as if she were afraid that if she left a step later, An An would regret it...

This posture made An Yinan smile helplessly.

"Madam, I have something to do tomorrow and need to go out," at this moment, Duyanlong spoke, his voice a bit hoarse, carrying something repressed.

The veins were already exposed, the axe was tightly gripped in his hand, and just by the way he stood there, one could feel the tense muscles all over his body.

An Yinan looked at him, her eyes deepening; she had sensed it just now, Duyanlong was not right.

Now he was even hiding away; it would be strange if they didn't have something going on, right?

"Alright."

When he wanted to talk, he would naturally talk.

She did not have the habit of picking at people's scars, and besides... as long as he had no intention to harm others, she could tolerate his presence by her side.

In the remaining time, An Yinan integrated all the data; she did not return this Small Hall, but instead renewed the fee for another half a year.

The cost of a Small Hall was very expensive, and the hygiene inside, as well as the fruits, melon seeds, tea, drinks, and so on, all needed to be replenished on time; there was a reason for it being expensive.

The next day, at ten o'clock, the workers knocked on the door right on time.

After Yun Mo opened the door, he signaled for that group of people to install the monitors there.

An Yinan was already busy in the kitchen; she had filleted some fish and prepared some meat fillings, and fearing that some people might not eat it, she also made some pork with green onion, as well as some three-delicacy fillings.

"I'll help." Yun Shu washed her hands clean; over these past few days, her skill in wrapping dumplings had been increasing day by day, and in any case, it was much better than Yun Mo's.

After Yun Shu spoke up, Li Zai and Zhang Cheng also crowded over; even if the Madam could handle the meal for so many people, it would still take a long time.

"Madam, did you make all of this?" This was Li Zai's first time coming over, and this time it was also Zhang Cheng who brought him to recognize the place; in the past, he always went directly to the Exchange, but from now on, their base of operations would be moving here.
