Xia Yanran was wearing a summer outfit she had bought at the airport as they were rushing over, so the love marks on her neck could be seen.

Hearing Nan Zhis words, Xia Yanran felt a little embarrassed. However, she wasnt one who shied away from such things, so she lifted her chin, moving her neck towards Nan Zhi. Look all you want, I dont believe your husband doesnt leave marks on your neck.

Nan Zhi couldnt help but smile, her dimples appearing on her cheeks as she looked extremely pretty. He used to do it, but he doesnt really dare to now.

After they got married, she had to go on television occasionally and represented the country as its Queen, thus she couldnt appear as casual as she did before.

All of her actions and words had to be elegant and dignified. She only dared to laugh and play around like this in front of her best friends.

Both Xia Yanran and Yan Hua knew that the higher their status, the heavier responsibilities they had. Zhizhi was very happy, but she had a heavy burden from her position as well.

Just a small bad action from her would be magnified. Not everyone could become the countrys Queen.

Yan Hua and Xia Yanran were both proud of Nan Zhi, feeling that it was their honor to have such a best friend.

We were talking about you, dont bring the attention onto me. Nan Zhi glanced at the red mark on Xia Yanrans fair neck, her smile bright and teasing. When I got married, who was the one who told me that she broke up with a certain someone?

Xia Yanran flushed from Nan Zhis words, using her hands to cup her flushing cheeks as she glared at Nan Zhi with a pout. How do you know its left by him? Cant I find another man?

Almost simultaneously, both Nan Zhi and Yan Hua sent her a gaze that said that no one believed her.

Both of her best friends were smart people. Xia Yanran knew that she wouldnt be able to hide away from them, so she raised her hands up in surrender. Yes, yes, Im too disappointing to only have that a**hole of a man from the beginning to the end.

Tsk tsk, arent you two done with each other? Wheres Xiao Yi? Wasnt he with you when I called you? He didnt come? Nan Zhi folded up her sleeves teasingly. When I see him, Ill punch him a few times. Its been so many years, when will he finally marry our Yanran? If he doesnt have any plan to, I know quite a few nobilities

Xia Yanran pounced at Nan Zhi, cupping her mouth. When she realized that Xiao Yi wasnt present and couldnt hear what Nan Zhi was saying, she hurriedly let go of her best friend. She puffed her cheeks up. Hes very nice. I wont like any other nobleman, no matter how good he is.

Nan Zhi hugged Xia Yanran. I know, I know. Youve probably fallen for Xiao Yi for the whole of your life. However, with him in the triads, can he give you a peaceful life?

Xia Yanran pursed her lips. He already retired from the triad.

Nan Zhi froze for a second, before she regained her senses and hugged Xia Yanran tighter. Thats good. I used to think that Xiao Yi wasnt too dependable, but now, hes really changed my impression of him.

Hearing that Xiao Yi had gotten the approval of her best friends, Xia Yanrans heart was drowned in sweetness. She said softly, Hes really very nice. He treats me very well.

Both Nan Zhi and Yan Hua couldnt help but start laughing. Mrs Xiao, are you defending your Mr Xiao already?

Zhizhi, Huahua, dont you two defend your husbands?

Tsktsk, shes already calling him husband.

Stop teasing me, you two! If you continue laughing, Ill tickle you to death!

Hahahaha

The three of them laughed crazily as they played around.

All of them were extremely happy. It was so nice to be with their sisters, it was light hearted and fun.

On Xiao Yis side.

He followed Yi Ran to the Old Madams house.

The Old Madam knew that Yi Ran had found Xiao Yi and was bringing him to meet her, so she had been waiting in the living room in anticipation.

Xiao Yi had met the Old Madam when he was young, but it had been so long, so his impression of the Old Madam was already faded. However, when he saw her again, those blurry memories of her seemed to turn a little clearer.

The Old Madam had aged a lot, her hair white though she still could be recognizable.

Aunt looked extremely like the Old Madam.

Seeing that Xiao Yi had arrived, the Old Madam wore her glasses and inspected him from head to toe. After a moment of silence, she looked behind him.

The Old Madams action made Xiao Yis throat tighten. He closed his eyes, saying hoarsely, Old Madam, Aunt had passed away.

The Old Madam fell onto her chair, banging the floor with her walking stick. Its no wonder I couldnt find her, no matter how hard I tried. When did it happen?

It was the fourth year after you left.

The Old Madam remained quiet for a very long time, her tightly pursed lips trembling slightly.

Xiao Yi bent his knees and knelt in front of the Old Madam, kowtowing three times to her. Its because of me. If you feel sad, you can hit me!

The Old Madam only had one daughter. In the past, her daughter did everything to follow Xiao Yis father, and she objected to her daughter becoming Xiao Yis stepmother. However, her daughter was too stubborn and got married to Xiao Yis father secretly. However, the story didnt go on well after that. Xiao Yis father got into an accident and passed away and the Xiao family went bankrupt, so she had rathered cut all ties to raise Xiao Yi alone.

At the thought of her daughters sorrowful and sad life, the Old Madam raised her walking stick and waved it towards Xiao Yis back with all of her strength.

Seeing this, Yi Ran, who had been standing beside them, pounced onto Xiao Yis back without any hesitation and received the hit full on.

It was too late for the Old Madam to stop.

Yi Ran laid on Xiao Yis back, humming in pain.

Xiao Yi turned around to stare at Yi Ran, who had taken a hit for him. He furrowed his eyebrows. Miss Yi, what are you doing?

Yi Ran held down the fiery pain on her back as she knelt down in front of the Old Madam as well. She choked slightly, Old Madam, when I went to Bardahl to find Brother Xiao Yi, I met some thieves on my way. If it wasnt for Brother Xiao Yi, I might not have the chance to see you again. I think that Brother Xiao Yi must be sad that Aunt Qing isnt here anymore as well, so please dont blame him.

The Old Madam stared at Yi Rans red eyes. After a long while, she leaned back onto the chair, waving her hands. Its been so many years since I wasnt able to find her, I have long prepared myself for it. Its her life, I cant blame anyone else. The Old Madam glanced at Xiao Yi. You can leave first, Im tired.

Xiao Yi stood up. Ill come and visit you another day.

After Xiao Yi left the mansion, Yi Ran hobbled after him in her crutches. Brother Xiao Yi, its not easy to get a taxi here. How about you take my car first? Yi Ran passed Xiao Yi a set of car keys.

Xiao Yi placed his hands into his pockets as he shook his head. Theres no need, Ill walk out of the are to get a taxi. As if thinking of something, he glanced at Yi Ran. Theres no need to do that again in the future. It was Yanrans decision to save you, you dont owe me anything.

Yi Ran opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Xiao Yi had already left with large strides.

Staring at his leaving figure, Yi Ran furrowed her eyebrows slightly, unable to look away for a long time.
