Chu Zhan’s surgery was very successful, and he has now been transferred to a regular ward after waking up.
Nianyang went to see him with Li Tingyan, and as soon as she entered the ward, she thanked Chu Zhan repeatedly.
Chu Zhan was leaning against the headboard, looking quite recovered, "No need to thank , Nini. You’re practically my brother’s wife, and you even call Brother Chu. If I let you get hurt in front of , could I still call myself a man?"
Nianyang had lived two lifetis, and aside from Li Tingyan, who would risk everything for her, Chu Zhan was the second person who would selflessly protect her without any expectation of return. She couldn’t help but feel touched.
With deep emotion, Nianyang said,
"Brother Chu, I don’t have any siblings, and since you saved , you might as well be my brother from now on.
If you ever need anything, feel free to ask . If I can do it, I will definitely help you."
"Alright then, I’ll treat you like my own sister. We share the sa blood type, maybe we really were siblings five hundred years ago."
Chu Zhan laughed, winking at Li Tingyan,
"Tingyan, did you hear that? From now on, Nini is my little sister, so when you two get married, you’ll have to call brother-in-law!"
Hahaha, this feels great!
Li Tingyan’s face turned dark,
"Forget it, Nini’s not really your sister. If you want soone to call you brother-in-law, find your real sister!"
It turned out that Chu Zhan regarded his wife as a sister, with no other intentions. That made Li Tingyan feel relieved.
"My real sister, Chu Huan, does want to marry you, doesn’t she?"
The mont those words slipped out, Chu Zhan realized he said sothing wrong. He quickly shut his mouth in frustration. Nini was still there, why did he bring up Chu Huan!
Damn this mouth!
Li Tingyan felt a bit flustered too, especially since earlier in the morning, just a few looks from Ning Xia made Nianyang unhappy. Now that Chu Zhan ntioned another woman’s na, would Nianyang overthink it?
He instinctively glanced at Nianyang, seeing her expression was normal, he glared at Chu Zhan angrily,
"Take care and recover well. Nini and I are leaving now."
Having put his foot in his mouth, Chu Zhan chuckled awkwardly, "Alright, off you go. My mom and Chu Huan are about to arrive. If you don’t leave now, you might not be able to leave when they get here."
Li Tingyan led Nianyang into the car. Before he had ti to step on the gas, Nianyang asked in a tone demanding an explanation,
"Brother Li, are you not going to explain the matter with Chu Huan to ?"
She hadn’t reacted in the hospital to spare Li Tingyan so face, but now that they were alone, she wasn’t going to let it slide.
Li Tingyan’s hand trembled slightly, "You know about Chu Huan?"
Earlier, Chu Zhan just ntioned Little Huan, how did his wife know about it?
Nianyang replied coolly, "Of course I know, she’s your childhood sweetheart."
"What childhood sweetheart? There’s no such thing."
Li Tingyan’s frown tightened enough to catch a fly. Although he didn’t know how his wife knew, he explained seriously,
"Darling, don’t misunderstand. Chu Huan is Chu Zhan’s younger sister. Although we grew up in the Big Courtyard together, Chu Zhan and I went to a boarding school when we were young and only went ho every few years. We were rely acquaintances with Chu Huan, and I don’t even rember what she looks like."
Hearing this, Nianyang was satisfied, but she still put on a fiercely angry face,
"But I heard from Cousin that your families are quite close and plan to set you up. What if your parents don’t agree to our marriage?"
"What setup? I’ve never heard of that." Li Tingyan was completely bewildered,
"It’s probably sothing the adults just casually ntioned without aning it. I make my own decisions about my marriage; I only want to marry you.
Moreover, my parents are quite open-minded, and if I explain things to them when I bring you ho for New Year, they’ll understand.
Besides, even if they disagree, it doesn’t matter. Once you’re of age, we’ll get married. After all, once we’re married, you’ll be living with , and my parents are just figureheads. Just ignore them."
