Now that An Yue had found her family, so many people cared about her and loved her. She no longer needed An Qi, her elder sister, to shelter her from the wind and rain.
Would An Qi be disappointed when she saw this scene, or… would she start to doubt herself? She could only hide in a corner and watch others be happy.
Nie Yunfan wanted to ask this question, but he felt that if he asked this question, would he make her out to be the villain?
Although jealousy was in everyone’s hearts, it would be too vicious to judge her.
An Qi did not know what Nie Yunfan was thinking. Hearing his question, she smiled without knowing whether to laugh or cry, and a smile appeared in her eyes. However, no matter how she tried, there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.
“What’s there to be happy about? I’m more than happy that Yue Yue has so many people who love her!” An
Qi said, however, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Besides, it doesn’t matter. As long as Yue
Yue is happy, I… won’t have to worry.”
Nie Yunfan’s body trembled. This wasn’t the first time An Qi had said this. The last time when she was in the hospital, the first second after she woke up from the coma, her first question was about An Yue’s safety, then she had said…
“As long as Yue Yue is fine, I’m not important.”
How could she not be important? Couldn’t this person think more for herself, and perhaps notice his affection as well?
Nie Yunfan felt as if he had fallen into a big misunderstanding. She didn’t care about him, but he, an outsider, felt sorry for her. He was happy for her, worried for her, and concerned about her.., everything else… had really… been fruitless!
Nie Yunfan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He asked tentatively, “Okay.”. “Then let’s change the topic. Seeing that Yue Yue is now loved by so many people and has so many people protecting
her, you don’t have to worry about her being bullied and living a bad life. Then, have you ever thought of finding someone to love and protect you like Ah Chen treats Yue Yue Yue?”
Nie Yunfan’s words successfully stunned An Qi. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at Nie Yunfan in a daze. After a long while, she seemed to have suddenly woken up. She looked at him and said, “All of the sudden… out of the blue, why are you asking this?”
An Qi’s guilty and shy appearance made Nie Yunfan laugh. However, Nie Yunfan did not intend to let her go so easily. He turned his body and looked straight into An Yue’s face. He asked in a light but irresistible tone, “Don’t change the topic at this time, yes or no?”
An Qi’s hands that were clasped together unconsciously tightened a little. She lowered her head and was silent for a moment. Then, she said in a muffled voice, “It can’t be counted as a yes, but it can’t be counted as a no.”
An Qi’s answer was clearly beyond Nie Yunfan’s expectations. What did she mean by not being a yes or no,
was it a yes or no?!
An Qi seemed to have seen the struggle in Nie Yunfan’s eyes and lightly laughed. She faintly said, “How should I put it? In the past, I didn’t have the energy to think about it. At that time, when I brought An Yue up,
I was a little older than Yue Yue. As her elder sister, I naturally had to bear more things. When Yue Yue and I first arrived in Shalnork, we had a total of 500 yuan on us. We couldn’t even afford a place to live, let alone food and clothing. We didn’t have job certificates, so we hit the dead end several times when we were looking for a job. Just when we thought we were going to be homeless on the streets, we met Youlin. She gave us a place to shelter from the wind and rain. She helped us solve all our problems of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. She even let Yue Yue find her own happiness and find her own family… so, Yue Yue and I are very grateful to her.”
As two orphans, An Qi and An Yue did not have a good life before they met Zhao Youlin. Nie Yunfan knew this long ago, but now hearing An Qi say it so calmly, he still had an indescribable feeling.
Forcefully suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Nie Yunfan asked again, “What about now?”
“Now?”
“That’s right, now. You said that you didn’t think about these things before because you and An Yue were having a hard time. You didn’t have the time or energy to think about these things. What about now? Now that Yue Yue has married, she has a family that loves her, a husband that loves her, and a child that’s about to be born. She already has everything, so you don’t have to worry about anything. You also don’t have to worry about your livelihood like before. So, have you thought about this matter now?”
An Qi was shocked. She turned to look at Nie Yunfan, and her clasped hands tightened again. “To be honest… ”
“Hmm?”
“I have thought about it.”
Nie Yunfan’s eyes lit up, but An Qi didn’t notice it, she continued, “Yue Yue is so happy now, so it’s time for me to find my happiness. But who can say for sure? In the end, you still need a bit of nudging from fate.”
‘I am right here!’ Nie Yunfan screamed in his heart, but his expression did not change. He probed,
“Then have you ever thought of finding a person like Chen?”
“A person like Chen?” Nie Yunfan originally wanted to ask if An Qi wanted to find a responsible person like Han Yichen, but An Qi understood it differently.
“Are you asking if I want to find a rich and capable man like Ah Chen?”
Nie Yunfan was stunned. After thinking about it, he felt that this wasn’t wrong. He could be considered one of those rich and capable men. He nodded and waited expectantly for An Qi’s answer.
An Qi paused for a moment, she said in a muffled voice, “To be honest, all girls want a handsome and rich husband who can treat them well and is devoted to the family. But how can there be so many perfect men in this world? Ah Chen is one in a million, so I’m really happy that Yue Yue met him.”
Nie Yunfan’s heart grew even more agitated when he heard this. One in a million? You have another one in a million in front of you! I fulfill all your requirements! Quickly look over, look over!
An Qi was not close enough to him to have a spiritual connection with him. She had no awareness of a certain someone’s inner voice… she lowered her head and smiled bitterly. “However, there are only a few people like him. How could another young master like him fancy a girl from a family like mine? Not every big family wouldn’t pay attention to the matching of social status. Cinderella’s story usually only exists in fairy tales and will not appear in reality. I still know this much.”.
