Bai Yaoyao's expression remained indifferent. She wanted to smile and say something, but at that moment, she could not bring herself to smile, nor could she pretend something she didn't feel.

At that moment, Bai Yaoyao looked like the wind, as though she could be blown away in an instant.

Duan Yanhao frowned and asked in a worried voice, "Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Bai Yaoyao wanted to ask if he believed that woman, but before those words came out, she swallowed them back.

She didn't know what position she was asking that question from, nor if she actually had the right to ask such a question.

Bai Yaoyao's indifference felt off to Duan Yanhao since she was so happy just now.

Duan Yanhao lowered his voice. "If you're feeling unwell anywhere, just tell me."

Even if Bai Yaoyao was feeling unhappy, hearing Duan Yanhao's words of concern and seeing the shocked look from the woman over there made her emotions calm a few notches.

Bai Yaoyao shook her head. "I'm really okay. What about you? The call's done?"

"Yes, it's from the army, but it's nothing much."

"If you're busy, we can go back!"

Duan Yanhao said gently, "I'm not, we're still not done buying things for you."

The two continued their conversation as if no one else was around, causing Chi Jiajia to tremble in anger. She was jealous beyond measure. She yelled, "Brother-in-law, who is this woman?"

The moment the word 'brother-in-law' came out from her mouth, the three of them were shocked.

Bai Yaoyao's face paled immediately, and she could not react in time. All she could hear was the word 'brother-in-law' resounding through her head.

A tremble went through Duan Yanhao, and his expression turned to that of agony. His gaze turned sorrowful. That sort of pain in his gaze made people who saw it feel sad as well.

Chi Jiajia's expression shifted after she said those words. She wanted to bite her tongue off as she visibly paled, not daring to look in Duan Yanhao's direction anymore.

Bai Yaoyao suddenly felt extremely oppressed being in that place, so much so that she could not breathe properly. She turned on her feet right away and left the shop through another exit, running out of the shopping district.

Chi Jiajia could feel the atmosphere turning bad all of a sudden as the room chilled. She feared for herself and spoke up, "Brother Yanhao, it was not on purpose, I…"

Duan Yanhao gave a cold and sharp glance at Chi Jiajia, which caused her to stumble backwards.

"Brother Yanhao, don't look at me that way. I'm scared!"

Duan Yanhao suppressed his feelings. "Chi Jiajia, you're no longer a child. You have to watch your words and actions."

After speaking, he turned around to look at Bai Yaoyao, only to realize that she had disappeared. His expression darkened, and he immediately asked the saleslady, "Where did the lady from just now go to?"

"She has already left."

Duan Yanhao's gaze chilled, and he glared at Chi Jiajia before leaving the shop.

Chi Jiajia did not know where her courage came from. She grabbed Duan Yanhao's hand and said, "Brother Yanhao, have you truly forgotten about Elder Sister? She sacrificed herself for you."

Chi Jiajia, at that moment, did not care about what she said, but it made Duan Yanhao pause in his steps.

Duan Yanhao shut his eyes painfully before turning around to say coldly, "Chi Jiajia, she was your elder sister. Why do you talk about people who have already passed away so easily?"

Chi Jiajia had no words to reply to him. Her pale expression hardened as she said, "Brother Yanhao, it's just unfair to my elder sister. You're caring about another woman right now."

Chi Jiajia did not feel that she did anything wrong. She justified herself by thinking that it was for her elder sister.
