The girl’s hair cascaded casually behind her, slender and graceful.
Her simple dress had no unnecessary embellishments, just a layer of sheer fabric that outlined her beautifully proportioned figure.
With black hair, red lips, and fair skin as snow, her features were striking, exuding a distant and cold beauty.
Wearing a long white chiffon dress, she resembled a woman of unparalleled beauty, stepping out of an ink painting.
This sight directly astonished Qin Lu.
It deeply imprinted this scene in his heart.
Old Madam Qin couldn’t contain her excitement and exclaimed, “Oh my, Yan
Yan, you’re truly beautiful!”
She thought to herself, she hit the jackpot with this daughter-in-law!
With Yan Yan’s and Ah Lu’s looks, their future grandchildren will undoubtedly be adorable!
Nan Yan naturally felt the gaze falling upon her.
No one could possibly ignore Qin Lu’s gaze.
Sensing his gaze, she stiffened for a moment, feeling uneasy and unnatural.
Fortunately, he quickly shifted his gaze, relieving some of the pressure that enveloped her.
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to Old Madam Qin with a warm smile. “As long as you like it.”
Old Madam Qin happily held the girl’s hand and looked her over, not forgetting to say to Qin Lu, who had entered, “Doesn’t Yan Yan look great in this? Right, Ah Lu?”
“Yes, it looks really good,” Qin Lu sincerely praised, and out of habit, he reached out to touch the girl’s head.
Nan Yan:
She really hated being patted on the head!
Annoying.
“Yan Yan, how about wearing this outfit out? Let’s go out for dinner!” Old Madam Qin suggested.
“Sure.”
As long as she didn’t have to change clothes again, anything was fine. Soon, the three of them went to a restaurant.
Qin Lu and Nan Yan’s extraordinary looks attracted the attention of many people, and most of them speculated whether they were in a romantic relationship.
Both of them had excellent hearing, and they could hear the whispered conversations clearly.
Even Old Madam Qin caught a few sentences and proudly said to them, “They are my good grandson and granddaughter-in-law!”
No one should even think about snatching her granddaughter-in-law away!
She wanted to secure her granddaughter-in-law as soon as possible.
Nan Yan looked at Qin Lu in disbelief.
How long would she have to be the shield?
It wouldn’t be good to let the old lady continue with this misconception.
Qin Lu remained calm, without the slightest ripple in his expression, and just gave her a ‘calm’ look.
Fine…
Then she would stay calm.
After all, when it came to explaining the misunderstanding later, it would be his responsibility, not hers!
To celebrate the fact that An Muyao and Huai Youyi could perform together on stage the next day, An Yaoqing specifically reserved a private room at the best restaurant in Jin City. The family of four arrived.
The eldest and third sons of the An family were not present. An Xiran had been staying in his team’s dormitory recently and hadn’t been returning calls.
Therefore, only An Yaoqing, Lu Lehua, An Mulin, and An Muyao came.
As the family entered the restaurant, An Muyao’s gaze inadvertently glanced around, and her expression couldn’t help but freeze.
“I think I just saw Yan Yan.”
Lu Lehua, who had just been smiling, immediately turned serious. “How could she be here in a place like this?”
Whenever Nan Yan was mentioned, Lu Lehua felt an indescribable anger.
She had thought that Nan Yan was just running away to make a point and would come back after experiencing some hardships outside.
After all, she had no money and couldn’t endure the hardships outside, so she would return.
However, several days had passed, and she showed no signs of remorse. Instead, she repeatedly humiliated Lu Lehua, causing her to feel embarrassed time and time again…
Lu Lehua regretted bringing her back to the family to the core.
“She may not have the ability, but I saw her with a man!” An Muyao said, her face showing concern and anxiety. “What if Yan Yan has fallen into depravity for money?”
“Dad, Mom, let’s bring her back. After all, she is a member of the An family. What if she gets deceived outside and does something she shouldn’t?” An Muyao said.
An Muyao was not concerned about Nan Yan.
She just wanted Nan Yan to live under her watchful eye, to be manipulated by her.
Now that Nan Yan was outside, she couldn’t even see her, let alone control her.
They had to bring her back to the An family!
Upon hearing An Mu Yao’s words, the expressions of An Yaoqing, Lu Lehua, and An Mulin changed simultaneously.
They might not care how hard Nan Yan was living outside, but if she dared to embarrass the An family by using the title of Second Miss An, it wouldn’t be acceptable.
An Yaoqings face darkened. “Muyao, which room did you see her go to?”
“I saw Yan Yan entering that private room,” An Mu Yao pointed to the room
Nan Yan had just entered.
She only caught a glimpse of Nan Yan and the man’s back.
Judging from the back, he seemed young, tall, and imposing.
An Muyao couldn’t help clenching her fists.
How could she hook up with a man so quickly with her foxy face!
If she had known, she should have acted sooner and sent her to those investors’ beds to play around!
The family of four, with a fierce momentum, rushed towards the private room where Nan Yan was.
Inside the Drivate room. Nan Yan and the others had iust taken their seats and were about to order when the door was suddenly kicked open.
Immediately after, the four of them stormed in.
Seeing these familiar faces, Nan Yan remained emotionally stable, sitting calmly.
Qin Lu glanced coldly at them, his gaze fixed on the four.
Lu Lehua didn’t even bother to look at Qin Lu and directly pointed at Nan Yan, angrily rebuking her:
“Nan Yan, as a young girl, how can you casually go out to dinner with a man?
Do you not understand what it means to have self-respect?”
Before entering the room, she had hoped that An Muyao was mistaken and that Nan Yan wasn’t inside.
But as soon as she entered and saw Nan Yan sitting there in clothes that she couldn’t afford, her anger exploded.
“You come back to the An family right now and reflect on your actions!”
Lu Lehua was furious, and she was about to step forward and grab Nan Yan’s arm to bring her back home.
Old Madam Qin’s face turned dark upon hearing Lu Lehua’s words.
Were these really Yan Yan’s family?
No wonder she didn’t want to go home and would rather stay in a hotel outside!
Apart from Lu Lehua, who acted impulsively and only saw Nan Yan, An Yaoqing, An Mulin, and An Muyao all noticed the distinguished man in the room.
Especially An Muyao, her teeth almost shattered.
How could Nan Yan possibly know such an outstanding man!
On what grounds!
She was consumed with jealousy, her eyes turning slightly red.
She clenched her fists tightly, the sting reminding her to maintain her composure.
Nan Yan’s brows furrowed, her gaze cold and detached as she spoke, “Madam An, we have already made it clear that I have no relationship with the An family from now on.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Lu Lehua’s face turned pale as she listened to Nan Yan’s cold words, her anger surging.
“No matter how much you deny it, you are my daughter.. The blood flowing through you is that of the An family, and you have to listen to me!”
