After Cheng Jinchu went to find Shen Li, he returned to his own courtyard to pick up Shen Jinyi. They waited for Shen Yuning at the gate of Shen's house and then went out to Guangjing Tower for lunch. After lunch, Cheng Jinchu and the others went for a short stroll and then went to the teahouse where Ning Jiaoer had made an appointment.

When Cheng Jinchu and the others arrived, Ning Jiaoer was already waiting in the private room upstairs. When she saw Cheng Jinchu come in, she happily rushed over and hugged Cheng Jinchu's waist and acted coquettishly.

"Sister Yi, you are finally here. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Cheng Jinchu smiled and hugged Ning Jiaoer back, touching her head.

"What are you busy with recently, Jiao'er? You don't even have time to invite me to play with you."

Ning Jiaoer pouted and let go of Cheng Jinchu. Then she saw the two people behind Cheng Jinchu. She only knew one of them, so she greeted Shen Yuning first.

“Hello, sister!”

Shen Yuning smiled and nodded. Ning Jiaoer shifted her gaze to Shen Jinyi beside Shen Yuning, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"Sister, who is this?"

Cheng Jinchu pulled Ning Jiaoer into the house and sat down. Shen Yuning followed and pulled Shen Jinyi to sit down as well.

"This is my adopted sister. She now lives with me in the Shen Mansion. You also know that I am in the Shen Mansion... So, now she is superficially my maid. She has not signed a contract to sell herself. She, like Yunzhi, is my family member."

Ning Jiaoer looked at Shen Jinyi's face in a daze. What was going on? Why were all the girls around Sister Yi so pretty? She liked this sister so much.

"Well, should I call you elder sister or younger sister? I just graduated this year, I don't know..."

Cheng Jinchu replied with a smile.

“She’s older than you!”

"Hello, sister. My name is Ning Jiao'er. Please call me Yuanyuan from now on. Sister Yuning, I didn't introduce myself properly last time. Everyone close to me calls me Yuanyuan!"

Ning Jiaoer walked to the side of Shen Jinyi, took Shen Jinyi's hand and began to look this sister up and down. Not bad, not bad. She looked even prettier when you got closer. Ning Jiaoer looked at Shen Jinyi and Cheng Jinchu at the same time. Well... she felt that Sister Yi was still the prettiest. She really had never seen a woman prettier than Sister Yi.

"My name is Yunyi, hello Yuanyuan, you are so cute!"

Ning Jiaoer touched her face embarrassedly, ran back to sit next to Cheng Jinchu shyly, and muttered softly.

“No way!”

Cheng Jinchu smiled and touched Ning Jiaoer's head.

"Of course she is. Yuanyuan is the cutest girl I have ever seen!"

Ning Jiaoer covered her face with her hands embarrassedly and smiled. After laughing for a while, she secretly looked at Cheng Jinchu through her fingers. Cheng Jinchu looked at Ning Jiaoer's lovely appearance and remembered that after Ning Jiaoer's maid left yesterday, she sent Yunzhi out to inquire about what happened to Ning Jiaoer recently. She already knew what Ning Jiaoer wanted to say to her today.

"Jiao'er, is there something you want to talk to me about today?"

Cheng Jinchu brought the topic back to the main point. Hearing what Cheng Jinchu said, Ning Jiaoer stopped playing around and sat down seriously. She pursed her lips and spoke again.

"Sister, at the beginning of next month, my cousin and I will be having our wedding. Sister, you must come!"

Cheng Jinchu looked at Ning Jiaoer seriously.

"Have you made up your mind? Don't you want to think about it again? Jiao'er, you are still young. You have just reached college age. There is no need to rush. You don't have to marry yourself off so quickly. Think about it again."

Ning Jiaoer smiled and shook her head.

"Sister, I've made up my mind. Although it seems very rushed now, there are only ten days left before my wedding. However, my aunt and my mother have been preparing for it long ago, even before the Chinese New Year. It's just me who didn't know. I thought they would get engaged first, and then discuss the marriage. It's okay. My cousin saw that I was a little hesitant, so he came to see me and we talked for a long time. I believe my cousin will treat me well!"

Cheng Jinchu sighed. At this time, Orange Guoguo also came out from the space and sat on Cheng Jinchu's shoulder. Cheng Jinchu looked at Orange. There was no expression on Orange's face. He just came out with a peach blossom pastry in his hand and was chewing it.

When the peach blossom pastry was in Chengzi's hand, other people outside could not see it, but little Chengzi ate it all over the place, and some pastry crumbs fell on Cheng Jinchu's shoulders. At this time, other people could see the pastry crumbs on his shoulders.

Ning Jiaoer frowned as she looked at the snack crumbs that appeared out of nowhere on Cheng Jinchu's shoulder, and reached out to help Cheng Jinchu brush the things off his shoulder. Unexpectedly, when she reached out to brush off the crumbs, she blew away the Orange who was sitting on her shoulder and eating snacks.

All of this naturally fell into the eyes of Shen Jinyi who could see it. She quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief to prevent herself from laughing. The orange baby was frightened. It flew up from the ground aggrievedly, and saw Shen Jinyi laughing at it, which made it feel even more aggrieved.

Shen Jinyi couldn't stand Chengzi's aggrieved look, so she waved to Chengzi quietly, and Chengzi flew to sit on Shen Jinyi's lap. Shen Jinyi took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped Chengzi's face and hands which were covered with pastry crumbs. Because of the table blocking the view, other people couldn't see Shen Jinyi's hands under the table.

Cheng Jinchu saw the orange flying out, and she wanted to reach out to catch it, but there were two people there who couldn't see her. It would seem like she was sick if she reached out to catch a ball of air, so she could only look at the orange apologetically.

[Orange Guoguo, I'm sorry. I'll go back and get you something delicious to make it up to you!]

Orange was originally crying out of grievance, but when he heard Cheng Jinchu's voice, he instantly became happy. He happily flew back to Cheng Jinchu's head and lay on it to listen to gossip. This time he didn't dare to take out food to eat.

"It's okay. As long as you have made your own decision, we, as your friends, will wish you the best. But, Jiao'er, I want to know, how did you suddenly make up your mind? What do you think about the relationship between you and Ling Xiao?"

When Ning Jiao'er heard Cheng Jinchu mention Ling Xiao, she was stunned at first, then lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

"As for me! We, we are, we are not real siblings, but we are not real siblings. He treats me as his sister and has no other thoughts about me. What else is there?"

Ning Jiaoer sighed when she said this.

"Ling Xiao is indeed different to me. I may like Ling Xiao, but, sister, I think Ling Xiao actually doesn't like me. He has always treated me as his own sister!"

Cheng Jinchu had met Ling Xiao before, and she told Chengzi at that time that she couldn't see how much Ling Xiao liked Ning Jiaoer.

"How to say?"

Cheng Jinchu wanted to hear what exactly happened that led Ning Jiaoer to come to this conclusion.
