Chapter 580 -531, Spread_1
Wentao led Su Shiyu away, and Yan Wenxiu turned to Yan Yishuang, Yang Xiujun, and Li Zixin and asked with a smile, “Do you want to go down and stroll around?”
Yan Yishuang glanced at the people on the street, felt it was too crowded, and decisively shook her head, “Big brother, I won’t go down.”
Li Zixin also said, “I’m too lazy to walk, and I won’t go either. Moreover, the parade is about to start; we won’t have much time to stroll even if we go down.”
So, that left only Yang Xiujun.
Yang Xiujun looked at Dong Yuanxuan and the others; she really wanted to follow Yan Wentao and Su Shiyu, but she felt too bashful to go out alone with so many men and just forced a smile, “Big cousin, I won’t go either.”
Yan Wenxiu didn’t insist but still felt somewhat worried about leaving the three girls alone in the restaurant.
Yan Wentao saw this and said, “Big brother, go ahead and stroll. I don’t feel like moving much either.”
With Yan Wentao staying behind, Yan Wenxiu felt reassured, “Alright then, we will come back as soon as we find Daohua and the others. It won’t take long.”
Soon, Yan Wenxiu and the others had left.
Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu leaving together worried Yang Xiujun. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over and sat beside Yan Wentao, “Cousin Wentao.”
Yan Wentao was somewhat surprised by Yang Xiujun’s approach, “Is there something you need, Cousin Xiujun?”
Trying to appear natural and merely curious, Yang Xiujun asked, “Cousin Wentao, it seems that Cousin Wenkai is quite familiar with the girl from the Su Family?”
Yan Wentao glanced at her and simply nodded, without saying much.
Seeing his reaction, Yang Xiujun said, “I know the Yan Family and the Su Family are close, but Cousin Wenkai taking Su Miss alone, isn’t that somewhat inappropriate?” She emphasized the word “alone” quite heavily.
Hearing this, Yan Wentao couldn’t help but frown.
Yan Yishuang, who had been paying attention to the conversation, sneered, “Sister Xiujun, aren’t you being a little too nosy? Both big brother and Brother Su are there, and they haven’t said anything. What gives you the right to chime in?”
Yang Xiujun quickly explained, “I’m not trying to meddle, I just think Cousin Wenkai’s behavior is somewhat improper. He took Su Miss away in front of so many people; it’s not good for her reputation either.”
Yan Wentao’s brows knitted together, “Cousin Xiujun is overstating things. Wenkai, Hongxin, and I grew up together and are very familiar with each other’s sisters.”
“Wenkai has good relations with Miss Su, Miss Dong, and Miss Zhou. They call each other brothers and sisters. When going out, it is only natural to take special care of them. Wenkai taking Miss Su to see the lanterns is nothing serious and certainly not a matter of reputation.”
Yang Xiujun internally disagreed—knowing each other well didn’t mean they should be careless about appearances. However, sensing that her restrained and solemn cousin was getting upset, she quickly apologized, “It was wrong of Xiujun to speak out of turn. I just thought…”
Yan Yishuang, watching from the side and feeling sick of it, cut her off, “Sister Xiujun, stop saying what you think. You do not understand the relationships between our family, the Su Family, or the Dong Family. You shouldn’t express opinions so casually.”
Hearing Yan Yishuang’s harsh words, Yang Xiujun’s face grew red.
Yan Wentao wanted to avoid any further awkwardness so he intervened, “Alright, Xiujun simply didn’t understand the situation. However, we must not carelessly repeat such words. If someone who doesn’t understand hears them, it really might harm Wenkai and Miss Su’s reputations.”
Yan Yishuang gave Yang Xiujun a glance, said nothing more, and turned her gaze to the street, occasionally chatting with Li Zixin if she saw something interesting.
Yang Xiujun and Yan Wentao weren’t close and had little to say to each other. After sitting together for a while, Yang Xiujun returned to sit with Yan Yishuang and Li Zixin.
Yan Yishuang noticed Yang Xiujun’s mind was elsewhere and could not hide a sneer.
Today she realized that Sister Xiujun had set her sights on the fourth brother!
She was bold to even think about it.
Without asking, she knew very well that her parents would never agree.
Although the Yang Family was a capital official family, they had only one fourth-rank official, which was the same rank as her father and offered no benefits to the Yan Family politically. Moreover, considering the Yang Family’s past actions, no one in the Yan Family had a good impression of them.
Nowadays, they only maintained a superficial relationship with the Yang Family for their aunt’s sake; why would they let the next generation intermarry with them?
That aside, what she found most disdainful was that Sister Xiujun insisted on inserting herself between the fourth brother and Sister Su. With the fourth brother’s feelings for Sister Su so obvious to anyone with eyes, knowing it and still insisting on getting involved was quite shameless.
Yan Yishuang’s stare drifted over the passersby on the street, her expression somewhat distant.
Watching Yang Xiujun, she couldn’t help but reflect on her past self.
Trying to take what wasn’t hers, not understanding her place, thinking she could hide her petty thoughts, unaware that her jumping and fussing made her no different from a clown in the eyes of others.
As Yan Yishuang was absorbed in these thoughts, Yan Wentao, who spotted someone selling pretty lanterns on the street, went down to buy several and brought them back.
“Third sister, here you go!”
