“Yun Nan, I wish you happiness!” Gu Wei said softly.

“Thank you, Mother!” Yun Nan clinked glasses with her and replied equally softly.

The one smiling the most happily was Yun Zhang. Looking at his younger sister before him, he felt a weight lifted off his heart. He clinked glasses with Shi Nian and counseled, “Treat my sister well. She deserves the best in this world!”

Shi Nian nodded and drank a glass with Yun Zhang. They downed their drinks and upended their glasses, looked at each other, and smiled.

Yun Liu raised her glass meekly and looked at Shi Nian with watery eyes. She was about to speak but Shi Nian was already turning away. Yun Zhang took half a step forward and blocked Yun Liu off, keeping her by his side. He then smiled and handed a folder to the bridesmaid behind Yun Nan, saying, “This is the dowry Mom and Dad gave Yun Nan.”

Yun Nan stared at Yun Zhung, stunned and confused.

Yun Zhang gazed at her as he uttered, “Our Yun family is a small one. You and I are probably the most presentable ones of the family. I’m staying to manage and provide for the family, and you’re married off, but even so, you’ll still be a daughter of our Yun family. Mom and Dad picked out a seaside villa for you; go over and take a look when you have time. It’s just a small token of our appreciation. I hope the two of you will live happily ever after and grow old together.”

Gu Wei looked at Yun Nan earnestly and nodded repeatedly. “Thank you!” Shi Nian patted Yun Nan gently and said to the Yun family. “I will definitely treat Yun Nan well!”

Yun Liu got squeezed to the back, unable to even be seen. It wasn’t until the newlyweds’ group went to the next table to give toast to other guests that Yun Zhang took her hand, pulled her back to their seats, and sat down. He was the picture of a gentle and attentive fiancé, but the words he said by Yun Liu’s ear were cold: “You did well; you didn’t embarrass yourself and the Yun family. I thought you would go for a desperate last play.”

Yun Liu held back her anger and glowered at Yun Zhang. “What if I did go for it?”

Yun Zhang gave her a faint smile and replied, “Then I’ll be seeing you at the mental hospital. If you do something unseemly at such a grand event, I don’t even need to make a public announcement of your ‘psychosis,’ what with all the witnesses here.”

Yun Liu bit her lower lip before asking, “This is your sister’s wedding! Aren’t you afraid this will affect her marriage?”

Yun Zhang’s gaze followed the newlyweds who were busy toasting their guests as he lightly answered, “My sister’s happiness doesn’t need empowerment from any formality!”

Yun Liu was gobsmacked. This kind of protection originally belonged to her. Once upon a time, Yun Zhang was willing to risk his life for her, his younger sister. Now, he would still risk his life, but it was for someone else and no longer her. In fact, for his real sister, he could use anyone as a stepping stone, and she, Yun Liu, was that stepping stone.

The newlyweds’ toasting reached its climax over at the Yun Innovations’s side. The youths’ enthusiastic liveliness attracted everyone’s attention, completely unleashing the wedding’s atmosphere in full.

Shi Xiu quietly retreated from the hustle and bustle. She walked to the hotel’s balcony and stared outwards. The busy streets were as lively as ever, a calm hubbub.

Shi Xiu cast her gaze at the deep blue sky, her thoughts surging thunderously. Her anticipation was so torturous that she wished she could immediately grow wings and fly to the suburbs.

Hearing light footsteps behind her, Shi Xiu quickly wiped away her tears and turned around. It was Yun Nan, who had changed into an evening gown. Shi Xiu forced herself to smile sweetly and greeted her, “Hey, Yun Nan.”

She didn’t wait for Yun Nan to say anything and uttered, “I came out to take a breather. It’s too noisy inside. Those people have been holding it in for too long. They’ve been waiting and looking forward to today’s grand ceremony as a chance to let off steam. They definitely won’t let you and Fang Xi off easily.”

Yun Nan turned to look back into the room and smiled faintly at the festive scene. She then walked to Shi Xiu’s side and glanced down at the streets before commenting, “It’s understandable. They’re frustrated because Shi Nian and I weren’t shocked or made a fool of ourselves by the ‘surprise wedding’ like they expected.”

Shi Xiu had a silly smile as she asked, “When did you and Shi Nian find out?”

Yun Nan gave her a sideways glance. “You think we’re that stupid? Even if I’m slow, your brother can’t be. If he isn’t even sharp enough to notice you guys’ plans, I’m afraid…”

‘I’m afraid he would be dead a thousand times over,’ Yun Nan finished her sentence in her head. She chuckled; it was their big day, after all, so it was best not to say such things. Although, as youths of today, she and Shi Nian didn’t believe in such superstitions, they wouldn’t say no to good omens.

Shi Xiu also chuckled, “Yes, Shi Nian is quite sharp; he isn’t inferior to Big Bro in that aspect. It’s just that they work in different environments and also different types of people to guard against.”

Shi Xiu couldn’t help but sigh when she finished. Yun Nan looked at her. “You’re worried about things over in the eastern suburbs?”

Shi Xiu hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. “Yes. I wonder if Big Bro and Xiang Yang are safe.”

Yun Nan stared deeply at Shi Xiu. “You’re already sure of Lan Long’s identity in your heart, aren’t you?”

Shi Xiu lifted her head before quickly turning it to the side. However, as she moved, her tears still fell.
