In the living room of the Ning family house.

Yin Bing was grinning ear to ear when he looked at Ning Dong and Yin Yi who were sitting next to each other. He said happily, “Brother Ning, I feel that fate is really amazing. I didn’t expect my unruly daughter to actually fall in love with such a refined and handsome young man. As the saying goes, there is a rock to every scissor, a scissor to every paper, and a paper to every rock.”

Ning Zhe said with a smile, “Brother Yin, you’re too modest. I think your daughter is very obedient. My son, on the other hand, is a little dull. I’m grateful that you don’t mind.”

“Brother Ning, you’re too polite. When I look at them, I feel that they’re really a match made in heaven,” Yin Bin replied.

Ning Zhe smiled and took a sip of tea.

The two women were also looking at their children with a smile on their faces.

At this moment, Ning Dong rose to his feet and said, “Dad, Mom, why don’t I take Yin Yi for a walk in the garden?”

Su Tong said immediately, “Sure, sure! Go on…” Then, she said to the others, “Let them go and play…”

Yin Yi bowed to everyone politely before following Ning Dong away.

After they arrived at the garden, with the elders out of sight, Yin Yi sighed in relief. She casually took a seat and said, “How annoying! What do we do now? My parents’ eyes are set on you!”

Ning Dong reached out to straighten a pot of orchids. Upon hearing Yin Yi’s words, his movements paused, but he did not turn back. Then, he asked, “Did you make any progress?”

Yin Yin said, annoyed, “Don’t you know? Mu Chen avoids me like the plague.”

Ning Dong, whose back was facing Yin Yi, smiled. However, his voice remained normal as he asked, “What do you plan to do next?”

Yin Yi remained silent.

When Ning Dong turned around, he saw the determined expression on Yin Yi’s face. He asked, “You… What do you want to do?”

Yin Yi looked at Ning Dong solemnly and said, “Help me again.”

Ning Dong looked troubled. “How do you want me to help you? I’m afraid I won’t be able to help much with my limited abilities.”

Yin Yi stood up and moved to stand in front of Ning Dong before she reached to hold his hand and said, “Ning Dong, you’re my best friend. Since I was young, I’ve never had a friend as loyal as you. We’ll always be good friends, right?”

Ning Dong hesitated for a moment before he nodded slowly.

Yin Yi bit her lip before she said, “Ning Dong, my family and I will return to S City soon. I don’t know when we’ll be back. You must help me get Mu Chen. Otherwise, even if I leave, my heart will remain here…”

Ning Dong smiled slightly. “What’s wrong? You can come here often. It’s very convenient.”

Yin Yi frowned. “What excuse should I use? I have to use you as an excuse every time. It’s not a long-term solution. What happens when you get a girlfriend? I can’t use your name at that time, can I?”

Ning Dong said softly, “It’s okay, I don’t mind. Even if I have a girlfriend, I’ll make it clear to her. I’ll only be with someone who accepts that you’re my friend.”

Ning Dong’s words made Yin Yi feel as though she was drinking ice water on a hot day. She reached out and patted his shoulder as she said, “I’ll always remember your kindness, Brother! I’ll definitely repay you in the future.”

Ning Dong smiled and asked, “Can you tell me what you plan to do now?”

Yin Yi waved at Ning Dong, indicating for him to move closer before she whispered into his ears.

Upon hearing Yin Yi’s words, Ning Dong’s eyes widened. His mouth was agape as he stared at Yin Yi in shock.

Yin Yi looked pleased by his reaction.

Ning Dong stammered, “T-this… Will it work? No, this isn’t good, right?”

Yin Yi said proudly, “Why isn’t it good? I’m a good match for him. His wife won’t be coming back. Sooner or later, he’ll be mine. It’s just that I’m not willing to wait. When I want something, I’ll take action immediately.”
