“Be good, alright? I bought this for you,” Mo Liuxi said, taking out a carton of strawberry milk and handing it over to her.

Yan Su took a few sips. The taste of sweet strawberry filled her mouth.

It was the same as before—there was always good food around with him.

The drive to Jiangxi was eight hours, and given that it was peak hour as everyone else made their way home, they took their time on the road.

In the afternoon, Yan Su received a call from Yan Lv, “What time is your flight? Do you need me to pick you up from the airport?”

“There’s no need to, I’m… getting someone to drive me back,” said Yan Su as she glanced over at the man next to her.

“Driving from Xia City would take quite a while. Who are you with? Are they dropping you off at our place? We’re spending New Year’s at the old villa,” Yan Lv reminded her.

“I know. I’ll probably arrive at night,” Yan Su replied sheepishly.

They continued their journey amid the traffic.

Back in the Yan family home, Yan Lv turned and told Jiang Peiying about it. Yan Lv was sitting on a small stool with his head lowered, concentrating on his garlic peeling. He raised his head and asked, “Do you think she’s coming home in her boyfriend’s car?”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Jiang Peiying glared at him. “I never heard anything about a boyfriend.”

Yan Lv said casually, “If she dares bring a man back home, I will break his legs.”

Yan Jin’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He was willing to bet his 50 cent jerkies on his sister bringing a man home.

At nine o’clock, the family was watching television in the living room when Auntie Wu rushed in from the outside, “Susu is home.”

“Yeah, we know, she told us. What’s all the fuss about?” Yan Lv stood up immediately and stopped smiling. “Where is she? Why hasn’t she come in yet? Does she have a lot of stuff with her? Did you help her with her stuff?”

Auntie Wu looked at his expression and said timidly, “I don’t think she’ll need my help—she came home in a man’s car. He said that he was her boyfriend and I didn’t dare to let his car in. I wanted to come in and tell you first…”

Before she could finish, Yan Lv slammed the table with his palm. Yan Jin nearly swallowed the pit of the plum he was eating.

“Rubbish,” Yan Lv said furiously, “She brought a baby home last year and she’s bringing a man home this year. Does she want to drive me to my grave?”

After his rant, he grabbed the old lady’s cane and stalked out of the living room angrily.

“Hey, Yan Lv, calm down,” Jiang Peiying chased after him quickly. Yan Jin was hot on his tail as well with his short legs, “Finally, I feel like I’m peaking in life…”

Meanwhile, Mo Liuxi and Yan Su had just parked outside.

Mo Liuxi was exhausted after driving the entire day. When they finally arrived at Yan Su’s house, he still wasn’t let in. His back ached and his bones were sore.

Half a minute later, a middle-aged man barged out of the house angrily, charging at them. He was holding a cane in one hand and was shaking it angrily. He shouted, “Are you Yan Su’s boyfriend? Well, I don’t know you, so I won’t beat you. Yan Su, get out of the car now—I’m going to beat you to death. Have you forgotten what you promised me last year? Are you trying to kill me? Why do you keep doing this to me?”

Mo Liuxi was shocked. Although he expected Yan Su’s father to be a tough nut to crack, he didn’t expect him to be so ferocious. He didn’t know that he would threaten to beat them up before they even went in.

He quickly went up and stopped Yan Lv, “Uncle, let’s talk things over calmly. Susu is young, pretty, and single—it’s normal for someone like her to find a boyfriend. A lot of girls her age are married unless they couldn’t find a good man.”
