Chapter 3243 Shen Tianyu 643

Yan Yan pursed her lips and said, "Sister too, you're getting prettier and prettier."

She's not good with words, and her praise is dry and uninspired.

Su Hua stood up and greeted Lu Yan.

Lu Yan walked up to her, hugged her tightly, rested her chin on her shoulder, and laughed, "Grandma is still so beautiful. Over the years, you haven't aged at all. On the contrary, you've become younger and younger. It's true that you stay young forever."

Su Hua raised her hand and gently stroked her back, smiling sweetly, and said, "You have such a sweet tongue, how many days will you stay in China this time?"

"I'll be leaving in a few days. I'm currently interning on Wall Street, and I'll work there for a year or two before returning to China."

She released Su Hua.

Su Hua gestured for her to sit down.

The servants cut fruits and made tea to entertain Lu Yan.

Yan Yan sat quietly to the side and listened. Lu Yan indeed had the potential to be a strong woman. She spoke tactfully and without leaving any room for error.

She thought of Lin Ning, and she thought of Gu Aoting.

Lu Yan has Lin Ning's shrewdness, but not her arrogance; she has Gu Aoting's social skills, but not his mercenary nature.

She thought, "That's good."

Lu Yan is young, beautiful, and shrewd but not domineering; she is sophisticated yet not mercenary.

She and Qin Heng make a good match.

Yan Yan stood up and said to Su Hua and Lu Yan, "Grandma, sister, I'm going upstairs to do my homework."

Lu Yan got up, picked up the dessert on the coffee table, and handed it to her, saying, "I bought this for you on my way here. You can have it as a midnight snack."

Yan Yan didn't want to answer.

But she accepted it anyway; she was Su Hua's grandniece, and she didn't want Su Hua to be caught in the middle.

She carried the desserts upstairs.

Back in her bedroom, she put the dessert on the table and took out her exam paper to start writing.

downstairs.

Lu Yan picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said to Su Hua, "Grandma, I went on a blind date with Aheng."

Su Hua said, "I've heard about it."

Lu Yan asked, "Yan Yan and A Heng..."

Su Hua fell silent.

Yan Yan's attitude towards Qin Heng is complicated.

Qin Heng's kindness towards Yan Yan is somewhat elusive. Sometimes it feels like a simple brother's affection for his sister, while at other times it feels like affection between a man and a woman, making it quite subtle.

Seeing Su Hua remain silent, Lu Yan smiled and said, "I won't trouble you, I'll go upstairs and check on Yan Yan."

She stood up.

Su Hua called out to her, "Yan Yan is very sensible. She has been avoiding A Heng. Yan Yan is different from Qin Xiao Zhao. She is a good girl."

Though unspoken, every word conveyed affection.

It didn't explicitly say it was biased, but every word it uttered was biased.

Lu Yan understood.

She smiled at Su Hua and said, "I know, Grandma. Don't worry, I won't hurt Yan Yan."

Led by the maid, she went upstairs to Yan Yan's bedroom.

Lu Yan knocked and entered, looking around Yan Yan's bedroom.

The furniture, including the bed, tables, and chairs, is high-end and cozy. The wallpaper is a very light jade orange color, which is warm, sweet, and sophisticated. The bedding is fluffy and looks warm. Even the small curtain clips are princess clips that match the bedding.

The bedroom has a balcony, an ensuite bathroom, and a walk-in closet.

It seems that Su Hua dotes on her very much, to the point of being extremely attentive.

Yan Yan quickly stood up and called out, "Sister, please sit down."

She pointed to the sofa and gestured for her to sit down.

Lu Yan walked to her desk, glanced at her test paper, and said, "A mock college entrance exam? You're starting on this now?"

Yan Yan lowered her eyelashes and replied, "Yes, I want to get good grades and make Grandma happy."

Lu Yan raised her hand and patted her head, "What a good child."

In fact, Yan Yan has already grown to be as tall as her.

"You should know that I went on a blind date with Aheng, right?" Lu Yan's gaze fell on her pretty and delicate face, trying to catch her micro-expressions.

Yan Yan nodded, "Brother Aheng is very good to us younger sisters. You are our older sister. We would be very happy if you could become our sister-in-law."

"Are you really happy?"

Yan Yan lowered her eyes. "Yes, I'm really happy."

Lu Yan patted her right shoulder. "Little girl, you're very smart. If you say you like Aheng, I'll back off immediately."

Yan Yan said, "I don't like him, not at all."

Lu Yan said softly, "Look into my eyes, okay?"

Yan Yan raised her eyelids, met her eyes, and said firmly, "I don't like him, I really don't. I'm always being teased about it, and it bothers me a lot. I'm all grown up now and I know there's a difference between boys and girls, but Brother Aheng still treats me like he did when we were little, which makes me uncomfortable. I'm very busy with my studies right now, and my teachers don't allow early relationships. I'll start dating after I get into university and meet someone I like."

Lu Yan stared into her eyes in silence for a few seconds, then said, "I'll ask you one last time, do you really not like it?"

Yan Yan nodded vigorously.

Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "Then should I make my move?"

"Okay, best wishes to my sister and Brother Aheng."

"I won't disturb you while you do your homework. I'm going downstairs to find my great-aunt."

Lu Yan lifted her foot and walked towards the door.

She stopped at the door, turned back to look at Yan Yan, and said, "You still have room for regret now, but once I walk out of this door, it will be gone."

Yan Yan curled her lips, shook her head vigorously, and said with a smile, "I don't regret it. I never liked him in the first place, so what is there to regret? Sister is so smart, she should know that everyone was just joking around. There's absolutely no possibility between me and Brother Heng."

Lu Yan nodded, opened the door, and went out.

Yan Yan sat down again, picked up her pen, and continued doing her homework.

As she was writing, she suddenly threw down her pen.

She took a deep breath and silently told herself that this was the right thing to do.

Grandma Su Hua loved her so much.

She couldn't repay kindness with enmity, and she couldn't let her be caught in the middle, torn between two conflicting interests.

She closed her eyes, forcefully suppressing the tears welling up.

Lu Yan went downstairs, exchanged a few pleasantries with Su Hua, and then said goodbye.

Su Hua escorted her to the front gate.

After getting into Qin Heng's car, Lu Yan turned her head to look at him.

Keep watching, keep watching.

She laughed as she watched.

Qin Heng raised his hand to touch his cheek. "Is there something on my face?"

Lu Yan said, "I thought I was shrewd and capable, and I was never the kind of person who judges people by their looks. I even thought that people who judge people by their looks were superficial. Now I suddenly realize that being superficial is so enjoyable."

Qin Heng laughed, "Why are you suddenly saying such silly things?"

He started the car and drove towards the gate of Gu Family Manor.

After driving a few dozen meters, he asked, "Have you seen Yan Yan?"

“I saw her. We chatted for a few minutes before she went upstairs to do her homework. That girl is very hardworking. She's only in her second year of high school, but she's already doing mock exams for the third year. She said she wants to get good grades and make my great-aunt happy.”

"She has always been sensible, but she only treats me differently."

Lu Yan suddenly closed her left eye and looked at him with her right eye.

Qin Heng chuckled and said, "What are you doing? This sudden silliness doesn't fit your usual persona."

What kind of persona do I have?

"My mom created this persona for you, saying you're shrewd and capable, the perfect match for me. She even went so far as to tell us to get engaged as soon as possible, saying that after the wedding she would start grooming you as her successor."

A strange emotion suddenly welled up in Lu Yan's chest.

That kind of emotion is called excitement.

Also known as inspiring.

She turned her head to look at Qin Heng's excessively handsome face.

The handsome younger brother exuded a youthful, innocent, clean, and vibrant aura, which was something that the cunning and treacherous old men she had encountered outside lacked.

She wanted to say, "I also think I'm a good match for you."
