She made up her thoughts and immediately took two steps ahead, bypassing him and coming into the research, firmly standing between Track Yan and her uncle.

Wen Yan did not know what she was attempting to do. He furrowed his brows, “You exit and wait first. I will discuss to Track Yan alone.”

“Why do you wish to discuss alone? He’s my husband, and you might be my uncle,” Wen Li stated firmly and unquestionably, “Is there something you two can talk about that I am unable to hear?”

After saying that, she sat down along with her arms crossed, tilting her head up, with an air of vanity.

Wen Yan stared at her for some time, however Wen Li did not flinch and met his gaze boldly.

“What are you doing?” He could not assist however discover it amusing and checked out Track Yan, elevating an eyebrow, “Are you afraid I will do one thing to him?”

Wen Li scoffed, “Hmph. For those who two struggle, Uncle, you may not even be a match for Trainer Track, proper? Our Trainer Track is admittedly good at combating, do not you recognize that?”

Track Yan’s expression flickered barely. He lowered his eyelids calmly, and a small smile tugged on the nook of his lips as he involuntarily bit his lip.

Wen Yan chuckled, “Who’re you placing on this protecting face for?”

“You stated many disagreeable issues to Trainer Track earlier than,” Wen Li stated, “Prior to now, I used to be naive, which allowed Trainer Track to endure a lot. Now that I am right here for him, do not even take into consideration laying a finger on him or saying something hurtful to him.”

Wen Yan felt considerably shocked and casually stated, “So now you are additionally defending somebody?”

Again then, she used to return to him with a bunch of unopened letters, asking him to assist her cope with these annoying boys. It was solely via these letters that he found Track Yan’s letter.

Wen Yan nonetheless remembered when he advised his father, Wen Xingyi, about it. His father appeared responsible and flustered on the time, asking a string of questions.

What did the Track household need? What did his son wish to do? What was their goal in getting near my granddaughter?

At the moment, each he and his father firmly believed that they have been defending Wen Li.

And now, the lady who was protected by her household again then was standing on the alternative aspect, defending one other man.

“Uncle, I do know what you and Grandfather are fearful about. You used to forbid me from doing this and that, however I by no means complained. However now, I do not depend on the household, I do not use the household’s assets. You’ll be able to earn cash, I can too. I’ve my very own ideas and judgments.”

Wen Li choked up at this level, took a deep breath, and continued, “Grandmother left Grandfather a very long time in the past, making him unhappy for therefore a few years. My mom left my father due to an accident, making him a lonely man. However I am certain that even when the result stays the identical, given the possibility, my grandfather and my father would nonetheless select to be with my grandmother and my mom. For those who’re afraid of what would possibly occur sooner or later and are hesitant in love, then I feel life can be too boring.”

Her phrases hit the mark. Wen Yan immediately furrowed his brows, silent in response.

“This particular person is so good, you do not know, however I do,” Wen Li asserted firmly, “I will say it once more, if you wish to hurt him, you will need to undergo me first. Let me see if I’ll let go.”

Wen Yan’s gaze turned difficult and he remained silent for some time.

Wen Li grabbed Track Yan’s hand from behind. He initially thought she was afraid that her uncle would nonetheless argue and wanted his reassurance. However as a substitute, she held his hand again, identical to he had comforted her earlier than, patting the again of his hand, silently telling him, “I am right here.”

“…”

Track Yan could not assist it and smiled as he bit his lip.

Wen Yan additionally smiled calmly, saying, “Is that every one? Let’s go residence.”

Simply as Wen Li was about to say the phrase “outdated relic”, Wen Yan added casually, “The automotive is downstairs. Dad particularly instructed me to convey you two residence collectively for New Yr’s.”

“What?” Wen Li’s thoughts took a second to course of, “…Oh.”

She had ready an entire speech, however the outdated relic immediately modified his thoughts, catching her off guard.

The group of individuals acquired into Wen Yan’s personal automotive and returned to the Wen residence. It was solely then that Wen Li realized that her uncle not solely introduced her and Track Yan again but additionally introduced Xu Li again to have fun New Yr’s collectively.

Initially, Wen Yan had additionally contacted Xu Shimao, however the year-end aircraft tickets have been tight, and Xu Shimao was caught abroad, solely capable of return throughout the Lunar New Yr.

As quickly as Wen Yan arrived residence, he went to his father’s room. Simply as Wen Li was ready to confront her grandfather as soon as once more, Wen Yan got here out and referred to as her in to speak.

Nevertheless, this time, Wen Xingyi did not name Track Yan for a non-public dialog however referred to as Wen Li as a substitute.

Wen Li discovered it unusual, “Grandfather, are you solely on the lookout for me? Aren’t you going to speak to Trainer Track, anymore?”

Wen Yan sarcastically stated, “With you defending Track Yan, who would dare to method him?”

“…Is sensible,” Wen Li did not catch her uncle’s hidden that means and felt fairly proud, “With me right here, nobody can bother him, not even Grandfather.”

Consequently, Wen Li went in and repeated the issues she had stated to Wen Yan to Wen Xingyi.

She by no means understood why they’d such a bias in opposition to Track Yan.

As her granddaughter stored urgent for solutions, Wen Xingyi not needed to cover and revealed the truth that she and Track Yan had a wedding engagement a few years in the past.

Wen Li fell silent for some time and calmly summarized, “So, Grandfather, your bias in opposition to him is usually because you’re feeling responsible, proper?”

Caught off guard, Wen Xingyi’s face twitched.

“A couple of months in the past, I went to Aocheng Metropolis and met his mother and father,” Wen Li stated, “I am solely glad they did not have any prejudice in opposition to me due to my relationship with you, Grandfather.”

Wen Xingyi nervously opened his lips, uncertain of what to say.

“Effectively, simply due to this little stunt of yours, I like Track Yan much more now,” Wen Li stated with a mischievous expression, sounding boastful, “For those who dare to bully Track Yan once more, do not blame me for making a selection between household and love.”

“…What selection would you make?”

“I’d surrender my standing as a rich household’s daughter for love and elope with him.”

Wen Xingyi’s face was stuffed with black traces, “Have you ever been watching too many TV dramas, you little rascal?”

“Do not you recognize this is not a TV drama? Nobody watches these sorts of plotlines after they’re made into reveals,” Wen Li retorted, after which she defended Track Yan once more, “Talking of TV dramas, I’ve a grievance. Once you ship my uncle to interrupt up the couple, it’s best to at the very least give him a test of 5 million in his pocket.”

Wen Xingyi was completely confused, “What nonsense?”

Wen Li emphasised severely, “I am saying our household is so wealthy, Grandfather, you should not be stingy.”

“…”

“Grandfather, again then, you did not have excessive expectations for my dad, however did he disappoint you?” Wen Li immediately turned critical in tone, “I do know your bias in opposition to him wasn’t as a result of he had no cash or means at the moment, however as a result of that yr, my mother accompanied him overseas, and consequently, she had an accident and handed away whereas he survived. You blamed him for not directly inflicting my mother’s dying. But when he might select who ought to stay and who ought to die again then, my dad would positively have chosen himself to die with out hesitation.”

The grandfather and granddaughter talked within the room for a full hour. As for what they talked about, the folks outdoors the room did not know. They solely knew that when Wen Li got here out, she was holding a bit of paper in her hand, whereas Wen Xingyi instantly referred to as for a caregiver to convey him his blood stress treatment.

——

Wenli was referred to as into the room by her grandfather for a non-public dialog, whereas Track Yan was summoned by his brother-in-law, Xu Li, to his room to speak.

Xu Li had nothing else to debate together with his brother-in-law, however the principle cause was that Track Yan had beforehand invited him to collaborate on a music, and Xu Li had stored this matter in thoughts.

Now that he had virtually completed writing songs for his personal new album, he lastly discovered a while to assist his brother-in-law with songwriting.

“The melody is already written, solely the lyrics are lacking,” Xu Li stated, “I will ship you the demo in a few days. As for the lyrics, Brother Ah Yan, do you wish to give it a strive your self?”

Track Yan by no means boasted about his talents in areas the place he lacked experience.

“I’ve by no means written lyrics earlier than.”

“No drawback, give it a strive, I will allow you to with the revisions,” Xu Li modified the topic and stated, “However no matter whether or not you make modifications or not, so long as it is written by you, my sister will find it irresistible.”

“In that case, please assist me with the revisions,” Track Yan smiled and stated, “I should not neglect getting ready a present for her simply because she’s simple to please.”

Xu Li felt an inexplicable sourness, like being hit by extraordinarily candy pet food.

“Brother Ah Yan, in highschool, did you actually have emotions for my sister…” Xu Li hesitated.

Track Yan nodded, “What’s mistaken?”

Xu Li checked out him with complicated feelings and stated, “It is nothing, it is simply that you just hid it too nicely, brother.”

He hadn’t seen something after they have been youngsters. When he noticed it trending on social media, his shock was a minimum of that of any gossip observer.

Ten years in the past, each his sister and brother-in-law have been simply inexperienced highschool college students, to not point out Xu Li, who was nonetheless a toddler at the moment.

“Nevertheless it’s not shocking that I did not discover, in spite of everything, I might solely see you if you got here to our home to tutor me after college,” Xu Li appeared puzzled and really confused, “However how come Brother Bai Sen did not discover?”

Simply as each of them fell into silence, Wenli got here to knock on the door.

“Little rascal, Trainer Track, come downstairs. Bai Sen is right here at our home.”

Communicate of the satan.

Bai Sen immediately got here with none discover in the present day, startling everybody within the Wen household.

He had been consuming a bit, displaying a lazy and carefree demeanor. Nevertheless, he maintained an honest angle in entrance of the elders. He first greeted Wen Xingyi within the room, then wished Wen Yan a cheerful new yr.

Bai Sen was puzzled, “Huh? The place’s Uncle Wen Zheng?”

“He went to have fun the New Yr together with his girlfriend,” Wen Yan could not stand Bai Sen’s nonchalant angle and spoke with a barely chilly tone, “Have you ever been consuming?”

“Everybody has somebody, solely I’m on their lonesome,” Bai Sen’s tone turned melancholic, then he immediately remembered one thing and appeared on the cold-faced iceberg in entrance of him with a gratified expression, “Oh, I virtually forgot, there’s nonetheless you, Uncle.”

Wen Yan’s face instantly grew extra displeased, and proper at that second, Wenli and the others got here downstairs.

Wanting on the matted Bai Sen, Wen Yan forged a contemptuous look after which turned to have a look at Track Yan. The chilly and aloof uncle immediately discovered his nephew-in-law extraordinarily unpleasant.

“He is in your fingers now.”

Wen Yan waved his hand dismissively and went upstairs to his room.

As quickly as his uncle left, Xu Li shortly stepped ahead to greet Boson, “Brother Bai Sen, why did you immediately come?”

“I heard that your loved ones deliberate to have fun New Yr’s Eve collectively, so I got here to affix the enjoyable,” Bai Sen turned his head and checked out Track Yan and his spouse standing beside him, then immediately stated, “Each of you, come right here.”

Normally, the couple would ignore him, however for some cause in the present day, when Bai Sen referred to as them over, they obediently went.

Boson pointed to his head and stated, “What’s this?”

Wenli replied, “Hair?”

“No,” Boson stated severely, “The huge grasslands.”

Track Yan: “…”

“What the hell are you speaking about?” Wenli could not assist however retort, “Our relationship is purer than pure milk. Do not label me wrongly. If individuals who do not know discover out, they will suppose one thing occurred between us.”

“I do know our relationship is purer than pure milk, however different folks do not know that! Due to you, rattling lady, I have been ridiculed by these bunch of associates!” Boson additionally turned excited immediately, “You have been my fiancée in highschool, and also you! Plastic brother, that is you! Track Yan! You two have to present me an evidence in the present day. When did you get collectively? Even in the event you acquired collectively, could not you could have advised me? What nonsense childhood sweethearts, what nonsense brothers! Did you each lose your voices?”

Confronted with this lengthy string of accusations, Wenli did not settle for them. She confidently stated, “We acquired collectively two years in the past. Did not we inform you once we acquired married? What do you imply by shedding our voices?”

“You suppose I haven’t got an web connection at residence?” Bai Sen’s face grew much more stern, “If nothing occurred between you two in highschool, then what concerning the first kiss? Sneaking round behind my again and exchanging kisses!”

Track Yan and his spouse have been extraordinarily speechless, and Xu Li, his youthful brother-in-law, was presently in fairly an ungainly scenario.

Confronted together with his sister’s love triangle, as a youthful brother, he actually did not wish to become involved and needed to slide away. Nevertheless, he was afraid that Boson and Brother Ah Yan would begin combating the second he left. His sister, the scum lady, could not persuade them, so he reluctantly endured the awkwardness and continued to face there and eavesdrop, hoping to intervene in case they began combating.

Track Yan sighed and stated helplessly, “Have you ever misplaced your reminiscence? Did you overlook concerning the days if you laughed at me?”

Boson paused for a couple of seconds, his confused thoughts started to rearrange his recollections.

“Rattling, so it was this rattling Wenli who acquired your mouth bloody due to…” Boson immediately realized, sitting down on the couch with a helpless tone, “I used to be the clown all alongside.”

“…”

“…”

Xu Li waited for some time, however the two males did not begin combating. Regardless of feeling relieved, he additionally felt a slight disappointment in his coronary heart.

His sister’s attraction wasn’t working that nicely.

After a second of calm, Boson, with a typical second-male lead angle, stated, “I want you each happiness,” However his final shred of dignity was shattered by Wenli’s heartless remark “get misplaced”, so he sadly left, going through the chilly December wind.

“That is unusual. We have been married for 2 years, however why does he appear to be he is heartbroken now? Is he secretly in love with me too?” Wenli could not perceive, feeling puzzled.

Track Yan additionally discovered Boson’s conduct uncommon, however later, when he noticed a WeChat Moments put up on Wenli’s telephone, the place her boss, Zhang Churui, posted a second at a nightclub consuming with a number of younger good-looking guys, he understood.

It turned out that every one the mess wasn’t as a result of he was “betrayed” by his childhood sweetheart and his brother. It was as a result of Boson acquired harm by his ex-girlfriend and did not have the correct to intrude with whom she drank with. To vent his frustration, he got here to bother them.

Boson’s sudden arrival and departure did not trigger a lot commotion within the Wen household.

The household gathered across the desk for a New Yr’s Eve dinner. Grandfather was getting outdated and could not keep up late. Quickly after dinner, he was going again to his room to sleep. Earlier than leaving, he requested Track Yan a query.

“How are you and Li Li arranging issues for the lunar New Yr this yr? Are you taking her again to Aocheng or are each of you staying in Yancheng?”

Track Yan replied, “It is as much as her.”

Wenli stated, “We have spent the previous two years celebrating New Yr in Yancheng. Let’s go to Aocheng this yr.”

They thought their grandfather would not be proud of Wenli going to Aocheng for the New Yr, however unexpectedly, he did not cease them. He nodded and stated, “Okay, if we do not have many family members visiting this yr, I will additionally go to Aocheng.”

Wenli and Track Yan have been each surprised.

In the long run, it was the granddaughter who was not afraid to offend the grandfather. She requested in a low voice, “Grandpa, are you going to Aocheng to search out somebody to struggle?”

Unable to manage himself, Wen Yan, who often maintained a critical expression, burst into laughter.

“Wen Yan, what are you laughing at?! I’m your father!” Wen Xingyi scolded his son after which shouted at his granddaughter, “I remorse it! Remorse!”

Wenli: “…”

In different phrases, he was going to search out somebody to struggle.

Wen Xingyi angrily went again to his room, and never lengthy after, Xu Li immediately acquired the inspiration for a music. As soon as inspiration struck, he could not give attention to the rest, so he hurriedly returned to his room.

All of the sudden, in the lounge, solely three folks have been left.

Wen Yan, who was unmoved by his niece’s expression, remained sitting in the lounge like an immovable rock.

Wen Li could not assist however ask in a tactful method, “Uncle, do not you’re feeling like your brow is glowing?”

Wen Yan calmly replied, “Are you bothered by my presence? Cannot you two go to your rooms?”

…So this outdated fossil understands all the things and intentionally sits right here like a light-weight bulb to bother me.

“Simply obvious at me will not kill me.”

Wen Yan leaned again lazily. It was New Yr’s Eve, and with no work to hassle him, he was having fun with the uncommon leisure and good temper as he engaged in a verbal battle together with his niece.

Wen Li diverted her gaze and immediately spoke in a filial tone, “Uncle, I’ve determined to go to the temple throughout the New Yr to wish for a very good marriage for you.”

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow, nonchalantly saying, “As a substitute of praying for ineffective issues on my behalf, why not pray for a greater monetary fortune for the complete Wen household within the coming yr?”

Wen Li flatly refused, “No, our household is already rich sufficient. I wish to pray to your marriage.”

Wen Yan: “…”

Wen Li chuckled, “I am praying that you’re going to meet a lady subsequent yr. You will love her desperately, however she will not love you again. The heartless capitalist will change into a lovesick canine and find yourself with nothing ultimately.”

Wen Yan was so irritated by this extraordinarily venomous comment that his temples throbbed. He smirked, tugging at his lip, “You are actually losing your expertise as an actor with such imaginative ideas. You would possibly as nicely swap careers and change into a screenwriter.”

“Simply wait, Uncle. That temple works wonders.”

“It is feudal superstition.”

The uncle and niece continued their banter, whereas Track Yan, on the aspect, listened till his ears ached. He could not even give attention to the TV. Luckily, Wen Yan did not wish to waste his breath in pointless arguments any longer, so he unilaterally declared a truce and went upstairs.

Track Yan contemplated for a second, then determined to comply with him.

Wen Yan turned to have a look at him. “Something in your thoughts?”

Track Yan went straight to the purpose, “Why did you retain the settlement secret from Grandfather?”

The truth that the grandfather had a standard response in the present day meant that Wen Yan positively did not inform him concerning the settlement.

“She stated to beat her up earlier than beating the mandarin geese. How might I, who watched her develop up, bear to do this?”

When Track Yan returned to the lounge, Wen Li was considerably shocked, “You went to the lavatory so shortly?”

“I simply washed my fingers.”

“Oh,” Wen Li did not doubt him and gestured for him to return over, “Come and sit right here.”

As soon as he sat down, she instantly snuggled as much as him.

At this level, Track Yan additionally had no real interest in watching TV. He held Wen Li’s hand, taking part in along with her palm, and softly requested, “You talked along with your grandfather for therefore lengthy within the room in the present day. What did you discuss?”

Wen Li leaned in opposition to his shoulder and shrugged indifferently, “We did not discuss a lot. I simply gave my grandpa a very good lecture. Did not I inform you? With me defending you within the Wen household, I will not allow you to endure even the slightest grievance!”

Track Yan merely smiled and thanked her.

Wen Li felt that she could not bear the load of that “thanks” and murmured, “Grandfather advised me about our earlier engagement. To ensure that your mother and father to simply accept me, you should have stated lots of good issues about me, proper?”

“No, I did not.”

“No must consolation me, it is solely pure,” Wen Li took it calmly.

“No, actually, it did not take a lot effort,” He stated, “You are naturally likable.”

Wen Li did not consider it and requested with a scoff, “Then why did you inform my grandfather to not make me your spouse when he confirmed you my photograph once we have been youngsters?”

As a toddler, he had a little bit of a spoiled temperament, a bit proud, and he would not have been occupied with any little lady, it wasn’t particularly about Wen Li.

However that was the reality he completely could not say, so he stated, “I used to be blind after I was a toddler.”

Wen Li was very happy with this reply and arrogantly hmphed, “You will have a transparent self-awareness.”

Stirred by Track Yan’s phrases, Wen Li began feeling immodest once more, “Wasn’t I cool after I argued with my uncle for you in the present day?”

“Cool,” Track Yan whispered in her ear, “So cool that I could not focus.”

Wen Li immediately felt goosebumps throughout her physique and smiled foolishly.

She stored clinging to him, whereas the TV turned nothing greater than a ornament.

Track Yan hinted to her, “We could return to the room? Hmm?”

“Nevertheless it’s not midnight but, I nonetheless need to depend down.” Wen Li stated.

“Depend in mattress.”

“…”

It turned out that counting was ineffective. As soon as they acquired in mattress, who had the time to care concerning the New Yr? After midnight handed, it was Track Yan who reminded her that it was the brand new yr.

“We made it from final yr to this yr,” Wen Li gave Track Yan a thumbs up, “You are superb.”

Track Yan all the time loved Wen Li’s flattery and had no resistance to it. His Adam’s apple moved barely as he made an affirmative sound.

“Oh, proper,” Wen Li immediately remembered one thing, acquired up and wrapped herself within the blanket, went to search out her garments, and took out a bit of paper from her pocket, handing it to him, “That is for you.”

Track Yan took it and checked out it. It was a test for 5 million.

“What’s this?”

“It is what my grandfather owed you,” Wen Li blinked her eyes and giggled, “Take it and purchase spicy sticks.”

Track Yan did not know whether or not to chuckle or cry. He casually put the test on the bedside desk, then he hugged her and patted her head, saying, “Junior, Glad New Yr.”

“Glad New Yr, Senior.” Wen Li stated with a smile, “Love me much more within the new yr.”

“Okay.”

Track Yan knew he was mendacity.

As a result of he knew very nicely that his love for her had already reached its peak, he could not probably love her greater than he did now.

——

After a brief New Yr vacation, Wen Li and Track Yan as soon as once more devoted their power to the filming set.

Earlier than the vacation, Qiu Ping gave Wen Li a crying scene task, initially not anticipating a lot, however after the New Yr vacation, she surprisingly gained an understanding.

On the monitor, Wen Li cried with a runny nostril and tears, and even some employees members with excessive empathy began shedding tears.

When Qiu Ping referred to as for a reduce, she hadn’t snapped again but, and it was Track Yan who held his spouse and comforted her incessantly till her sobbing step by step subsided.

Qiu Ping felt that he had really underestimated Wen Li’s potential. After the shoot, he particularly referred to as her over and requested how she had gained the understanding.

“Simply as Director Qiu stated, I simply imagined that second as if it have been me dying, and that it was the final time I noticed Trainer Track.”

Qiu Ping immediately choked in his throat, his eyes trembling.

“Once I thought that after I died, he would possibly remarry in only a few years,” Wen Li sighed, “It is painful. Males are unreliable. I would moderately struggle to stay a couple of extra years to look at over him.”

“…”

Qiu Ping’s “You actually love him” acquired caught in his throat.
