When Yan Wenya came out, her mother was no longer in the room. She hurriedly asked An Kang, "Where's my mom?"

An Kang was listening to Yan Zhiming and his father talk about work when Yan Wenya interrupted them, which annoyed him.

But she still said, "Auntie said she had something to do and left early."

Yan Wenya listened and couldn't help but complain, "It's almost time to eat, why did my mom leave?"

She glanced at the crowd again, her words carrying a pointed meaning: "My mom used to never leave early when she came to my grandma's house, so why does she leave as soon as strangers come?"

These words were directed at Yao Ning, who looked at Yan Zhiming with her eyes full of grievance.

Just as he was about to reprimand Yan Wenya, Yan's mother, who was next to Yao Ning, spoke up: "Alright, if she wants to leave, you can't stop her. Wenya, your father has come back for a long time, you should cultivate your relationship with him."

Mother Yan was clearly trying to smooth things over for her, to prevent any future estrangement between father and daughter. Especially since Yan Zhiming had married a young woman of similar age to Yan Wenya, the father and daughter's relationship was already not very close. If there were any resentment, their relationship would only deteriorate further.

Yan Wenya felt a mix of emotions when she saw that her grandmother, who used to dote on her, was not speaking up for her.

As soon as Dad married his stepmother, Grandma started to show favoritism. If she gives birth to a boy, won't I have even less status?

After all, Grandpa was old-fashioned and favored sons over daughters. He believed that the Yan family needed an heir to carry on the family line.

The father felt that the Yan family had worked hard for two generations to get to where they were now from the countryside, and how could he be willing to let the Yan family have only one daughter who married out, so that the Yan family line would end?

Especially this time, Yan Wenya felt that her grandfather's attitude was even colder than before when she brought her boyfriend back. He saw that her father was getting married again, and that he was preparing a sumptuous meal and a gift for that woman well in advance.

The thought of her younger brother fighting her for the family fortune filled her with barely concealed resentment.

Yan Wenya walked over, sat down next to her grandmother, reached out and held her arm tightly, and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandma, you always favor my dad. I feel uncomfortable about it, I was just venting."

She then looked at Yao Ning and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "This... sister? Oh dear, you look about my age. I just can't bring myself to call you auntie or stepmother, so please call me sister. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

This was clearly a case of feigning ignorance when she knew the truth. Yao Ning had already made it clear when her mother asked about her age, so it was impossible for her not to know that Yao Ning was younger than her.

Yao Ning smiled faintly and said, "Calling me 'sister' isn't quite appropriate, hehe."

Yan Wenya was taken aback, clearly she hadn't listened carefully to Grandma Yan's question, and then said, "Could it be that you're younger than me? How old are you exactly?"

Yao Ning answered calmly, "21."

Yan Wenya looked astonished: "...Then how did you end up with a man older than your father? Are you lacking love or money? Aren't you afraid that your relatives and friends will laugh at you if you bring my dad home?"

Her words made the faces of the Yan family of three turn ugly. Yan's mother felt that Wen Ya was disrespectful to her father, Yan's father thought Wen Ya was impolite, and Yan Zhiming was displeased because his age was mentioned.

Yao Ning pretended to think for a moment, then said sincerely, "Maybe, after all, my mom didn't expect me to find an older man. She has a very strong sense of self-esteem and is very concerned about her image."

Yan Wenya looked at him with disdain and scoffed, "Then why are you still shamelessly trying to seduce my dad? If you want to take a shortcut, why not find a rich young man who is about your age? There are plenty of rich people out there."

Yao Ning wasn't angry or annoyed; instead, she deliberately tried to annoy her: "Oh, there are young, rich men pursuing me too, but I think they're too naive, immature, and unstable. I'm starved for love. Your dad is handsome, rich, and powerful. Most importantly, we're truly in love, right, Zhiming?"

As she spoke, she looked at Yan Zhiming with deep affection, the love in her eyes making Yan Zhiming blush.

He never expected this young woman to be so bold, speaking such private words in front of her parents and younger relatives. But he still held her slender, fair hand tightly, as if to comfort her or to encourage her.

When Yan's mother told Yao Ning that she was attracted to her son's wealth and power, she didn't think Yao Ning was being materialistic. Didn't Yao Ning say that her feelings for her son were genuine, and everything else was just an added condition—conditions her son already possessed?

The elderly couple are getting on in years; how many more years can they live? If they were to pass away, they would be worried about their son. Their son is still young, only halfway through his life, and he is naturally aloof. It would be wonderful if he had a caring partner by his side.

Yan Zhiming: "Yan Wenya, think before you speak. If you don't know what to say, just shut up. Yao Ning is younger than you, so you need to be more sensible and give in to her. She's still young and doesn't understand anything. If anyone is wrong, it's my fault."

At this point, he gently squeezed Yao Ning's hand and said, "I took advantage of her ignorance and naivety, and lured her here when she was at the prime of her life. Therefore, I will never betray her in the future."

Everything she likes, I have; everything she desires, I also possess. Even if she's after my money, I can afford it.

These words are both a promise and a guarantee.

Seeing him like this, Yao Ning's cheeks instantly turned as red as ripe apples. She quickly moved closer to Yan's mother and said coquettishly, "Mom, look at Yan Zhiming. In front of so many people, he is so shameless, saying things that make people embarrassed."

Seeing her youngest daughter-in-law blushing with embarrassment, Yan's mother also felt extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, the strict father spoke up: "Alright, everyone is hungry, let's go to the restaurant for a meal."

An Kang, who had been standing to the side like a quail, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Ya's aggressive behavior had made his heart leap into his throat.

After all, his future father-in-law was no ordinary person, and he didn't want Wenya to offend him or incur his father-in-law's dislike, especially now that his father-in-law had remarried.

Seeing that his grandparents and father all sided with Chen Yaoning, Yan Wenya disliked Chen Yaoning even more.

After finishing their meal, Yan Wenya didn't stay and went home with An Kang.

Yao Ning was truly exhausted and had no strength left, so Yan Zhiming took her to his room and let her rest for a while.

During his two days at the Yan family home, Yan Zhiming paid his respects to his future in-laws. After all, she was his daughter, and she was about to get married; it would be inappropriate not to meet her future in-laws.

Meanwhile, Yao Ning was entertaining her relatives and friends at the Yan family home with her mother.

After everything had passed, Yao Ning had just finished showering and was gently applying face cream.

Yan Zhiming looked at her and said, "Let's visit your parents-in-law tomorrow. We're already married, so we still need to go and meet them before I formally propose marriage."

When Yao Ning heard him mention going back to her home, images of going home flashed through her mind, and a thought of wanting to escape welled up in her heart.

However, now that she was married, she knew she would have to face the reality sooner or later, so she nodded gently.

Seeing her sullen expression, Yan Zhiming picked her up in his arms. Before Yao Ning could react, she was so frightened that she turned pale and clung tightly to his neck.

Yan Zhiming gently placed her on the bed and said tenderly, "Let's do something fun."

"So I'll be upstairs today?"

When Yan Zhiming thought of that wonderful scene, his eyes instantly became hot and burning, as if he wanted to set the whole world on fire.

He turned Yao Ning over in his arms and gestured to her with his eyes for her to begin.

In the past, when Yao Ning and Yan Zhiming shared intimate moments, she always appeared somewhat shy and reserved.

However, this time she may have been blinded by impulse, and wanted to be bolder, so she made this request.

She leaned down and, mimicking Yan Zhiming, gently kissed his lips, eyes, and chin, before slowly moving down to his neck.

Because his movements were a bit clumsy, Yan Zhiming was caught in a dilemma, and his anger surged down to his lower body.

He turned the tables and let Yao Ning take the initiative. Yao Ning was so aroused by him that she could only slowly rub against him, only caring about her own enjoyment and not caring about other people's feelings.

Yan Zhiming, seeing that she was enjoying herself, let her be.
