The man appeared to be in his thirties, dressed in a dark gray trench coat, his figure was slender, yet upright like a pine.
His features were handso, his deanor gentle, and when he looked at people, his eyes always carried a hint of a smile, yet deep within, it seed perpetually shrouded in mist, making him appear a bit more lancholic.
The man’s gaze lightly swept over Yun Ya’s face, then his brows furrowed slightly as he looked back again, scrutinizing Yun Ya carefully.
Yun Ya slightly lowered her gaze, the corners of her lips lightly curved.
She hadn’t expected to et again at such a ti, in such a place.
She had grown up, not recognizing her at first glance was normal.
But this man, Yun Ya recognized with just a glance.
He was her childhood tutor, Jiang Li, who cared for her like a father.
Yun Ya rembered him gently patting her head as a child, lovingly saying, "The teacher will ensure you have a normal childhood."
Later... as she went abroad, she lost contact with him, and the world turned out to be so small; they t again when she was Yan Song’s fiancée, and he was Yan Song’s second uncle, such a dramatic relationship...
Yun Ya slightly pondered, and the other party temporarily gave up trying to recall where he had seen this sowhat familiar girl, then, along with the woman beside him, he said to Pei Ying: "Mom, we’re back."
Pei Ying rushed forward, hugging the woman and crying: "Zizi, you’re finally back, let mom have a good look at you." As she looked up and down at Yan Zi, she cried while examining: "You’ve lost weight; look at how your cheeks are out of shape. Did you not live well abroad?"
Yan Zi was also wiping her tears: "I’m fine; Jiang Li has taken good care of , especially now that I’m pregnant, he’s been even more attentive." With those words, she bashfully lowered her head.
Pei Ying’s gaze fell on her belly, nodding with satisfaction: "You’ve been married for ten years, and finally, the hard tis are over. Now that you have a child, ensure you take care of yourself, and don’t throw any tantrums, okay?"
"Mom, when did I throw tantrums..." She pouted coquettishly.
Her gaze fell on the woman behind, and with a smile, she said: "Hello, sister-in-law." Her attitude, however, lacked warmth, indicating she had a fairly general relationship with this sister-in-law.
"Second Aunt, do you still recognize ?" Yan Xing laughed as she tugged Yun Ya over.
Yan Zi frowned: "You are?"
Yan Xing stomped her foot: "Second Aunt, how naughty, you even forgot Xingxing, huh, and to think Xingxing always talks about you...."
Yan Zi smiled, tapping her on the forehead: "You little rascal, no matter who else I forget, I can’t forget you. You’re not thinking about , you’re thinking about my gifts."
"Second Aunt, you’re so annoying." Yan Xing playfully complained, making Yun Ya get goosebumps.
Only then did Yan Zi’s gaze fall on the young girl standing beside Yan Xing, a hint of amazent in her eyes: "And this is...?"
Yan Xing quickly pulled Yun Ya over, boasting: "This is Yun Ya, big brother’s fiancée, I’ve told you she’s amazing, not only is she a top student from Washington, but she’s incredibly talented. I managed to rank first in the entire grade only because of her...." Yan Xing’s little mouth went on incessantly.
Yun Ya tugged at her sleeve, urging her to tone it down, feeling a bit embarrassed despite being thick-skinned.
She didn’t notice the flash of understanding in the man’s eyes opposite her, followed by a smile.
Yan Zi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "So, it’s her, beautiful and smart just as the rumors say."
Yun Ya politely called out: "Second Aunt."
Yan Zi sensitively noticed her husband’s mood, a bit displeased, thinking that being too beautiful only leads to trouble.
"You and Ah Song aren’t married yet, are you?" Yan Zi asked with a smile.
Yun Ya’s brows slightly knitted, and she replied with a smile: "Not yet, but the engagent date has been set."
She understood the implicit aning in this woman’s words; calling soone Second Aunt before marriage was considered sowhat shaless.
A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
In Yan Xing’s description, she thought Yan Zi was a lively and brave woman, apparently too naive.
"Oh, so you’re not even engaged yet. I’m worried I can’t make it since I’m pregnant, and I’m also afraid of any misfortune."
Yan Zi placed a hand on her belly, speaking with a cheerful smile.
Yun Ya lowered her eyes slightly, replying softly: "Second Aunt should focus on her pregnancy."
Jiang Li furrowed his brows slightly, "Alright, you should sit and rest; it’s been a long ti since you and mom have t, surely there’s a lot to talk about."
He said this as he assisted Yan Zi, gently guiding her to sit on a chair, taking great care of her.
