  “So, you just intend to continue being single?” Li Sicheng uncapped his bottle of water. Although his question was directed at Luo Zhan, his eyes were on Su Qianci.

  Su Qianci was in the middle of a match with Li Jinnan. With a sunhat on her head and a smile on her face, she was engrossed in her game with her brother-in-law.

  Luo Zhan replied, “It’s not like I have any other option. But, I’m lucky that my mom isn’t like your grandpa, who just shoved a wife into your arms.” As Luo Zhan drank from his bottle of water, he noticed what Li Sicheng was looking at. “Third Brother is deliberately giving way to her.”


  Li Sicheng knew that, but he didn’t see any problem with it. “As he should.”


  Luo Zhan gave a laugh and looked at Li Jinnan as he finished the rest of his water.

  Li Jinnan was more than qualified to hold his own against Su Qianci. Every now and then, he’d let the shuttlecock fall to the floor, eliciting laughter from her.

  “Brother-in-law, you’re getting weaker! No matter how busy you are with work, you still have to pay attention to your fitness!”


  Su Qianci bounced the shuttlecock in her hand and yelled, “Watch out!”


  Li Jinnan was initially intending to reply to her statement, but he didn’t expect her to serve the shuttlecock so soon. The smile immediately disappeared from his face as he rushed up to clear the shot before replying, “You’re the one who’s been improving at a fast pace! Indeed, the moment Second Brother returned, the improvement in your mood made you formidable!”


  “Ha!” Su Qianci burst out in laughter. “It’s not like your second brother practices badminton with me!”


  Su Qianci did a drop shot, and the shuttlecock fell to the ground barely one foot away from the net. Li Jinnan didn’t manage to receive it in time. He had no choice but to walk forward to pick the shuttlecock up. He bit back a helpless smile. A tender look escaped from his eyes.

  The expression was exceedingly subtle, but Ye Youyou was nevertheless able to detect the difference in the way Li Jinnan treated Su Qianci.

  He had never displayed that in his interactions with her. Although he always displayed concern toward her, the expression in his eyes when he looked at her was always dull. Other than the additional concern he showed her, his interactions with her didn’t differ much from his interactions with others. When he was with Su Qianci, that was clearly not the case.

  Since Ye Youyou was the stepdaughter of the Guan family, the other daughter her mother had brought into the marriage, she had learned to be unusually perceptive since she was young. She was always the first to detect what Uncle liked, what Mom liked, what they disliked, and what they hated.

  At this moment, she could clearly sense what Li Jinnan’s mood was. He was holding back something. At the same time, there was genuine emotion present.

  Is it familial love? It is more than that.

  Ye Youyou felt as if she had uncovered a huge secret. In the deepest recesses of her heart, she felt a sense of relief. The feeling was as if a thorn in the flesh had been removed. It was indescribably comforting.

  Ye Qianqian followed Ye Youyou’s line of sight and realized that she was watching Li Jinnan. She did a silent cheer and asked, “Doesn’t he become more handsome the more you look at him? I think he’s dashing.”


  Ye Youyou regained her wits and gave a quick glance at Yu Lili, who was standing to the side. When she saw that the comment hadn’t registered with Yu Lili, she said in annoyance, “What are you talking about? I just happened to be looking in that direction when I was thinking about something.”


  Ye Qianqian felt that she was being stubborn and didn’t bother to argue further. She looked at Li Jinnan and Su Qianci and remarked, “Before Li Sicheng returned, it was Li Jinnan who stayed by Su Qianci’s side. If not for Li Jinnan, she might not have been able to pull through those hard times.”


  So, it was only normal that such emotions would develop between the both of them. It was a love that developed over time. But, she was also pretty certain that the one Su Qianci really loved was her husband.
