At that time, when Lu An took a bite of the egg waffle, he made a face of disgust and refused to eat it.

Jin Nian didn’t blame Lu An for not appreciating the egg waffle because it wasn’t the type of egg waffle he was used to from Hong Kong. It was understandable that it didn’t match his taste. Moreover, so much time had pa.s.sed since it was cooked, and she could only blame herself for being too slow, allowing the egg waffle to cool.

It was only much later that Lu An learned that Jin Nian had developed a high fever the next day because she wanted to buy him that egg waffle. However, Jin Nian had never mentioned these details to him.

In his earlier days, Lu An was someone who didn’t care much about others. It was because Jin Nian had treated him kindly that he gradually learned how to be considerate of others.

During their high school years, Lu An often took Jin Nian out to socialize with the wealthy second-generation kids. These rich heirs were privately curious about what was so special about Jin Nian to catch the attention of the young master of the Lu family.

She was undeniably beautiful, but there were plenty of beautiful people around.

Her personality was quite ordinary, not exhibiting any particularly high emotional intelligence or sycophantic behavior.

Lu An was the only one who would bring people with him wherever he went. He would get anxious if anyone said anything about Jin Nian.

He felt that these people were simply blind, and he couldn’t be bothered to explain to those who didn’t understand. He also felt reluctant to voice some of his overly sentimental thoughts.

In his heart, Jin Nian was very special to him, like a haven. She was the first friend he had made in Binhai city. No matter how many challenges he faced or how chaotic the outside world became, Jin Nian was always there by his side, offering comforting words.

Finally, she would use her small hand to tug at Lu An’s clothes, saying, “Anan, would you like to come to my house for dinner?”

Lin Yuan reluctantly called her “sister-in-law”. After all, one should not mistreat their friend’s spouse. Lu An guarded against Lin Yuan as if she were a wolf, but Lin Yuan had no choice but to step back.

However, in Jin Nian’s eyes, it was clear that Lin Yuan and Lu An were exchanging meaningful glances right under her nose!

This was simply unbearable!

Lousy man!

The wedding continued, and Jin Nian chose to ignore Lu An completely. Instead, she focused on Lu Feng and Yu Feifei, who were on the stage.

Soon, she was deeply moved. Seeing her best friend’s long-distance relationship come to a happy ending made her feel like she was sending her daughter off. Especially when she saw Lu Feng’s tearful confession to Feifei, Jin Nian was touched to tears.

Jin Nian cried with a face like a pear blossom drenched in rain, fragile yet adorable.

She was wearing a modest gown, draped with a blanket at the moment. Her long hair was lightly curled, and she held a tissue in her hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Jin Nian’s naturally fair complexion, combined with her slightly reddened eyes from crying, made her skin look even more delicate as if it could be easily broken.

Lin Yuan glanced over, thinking that Jin Nian was exceptionally beautiful. Even heavenly fairies couldn’t compare.

Seeing Jin Nian crying so pitifully, Lu An wanted to cheer her up. However, Jin Nian avoided Lu An’s touch. After the wedding ceremony, she moved closer to Yu Feifei.

Due to their gender, Lu An didn’t feel comfortable sitting directly beside his cousin’s wife. Over the years, the only person he had been close to was Lin Yuan, and their friendship was based on the fact that Lu An didn’t treat her like a woman, and Lin Yuan didn’t see herself as one.

Feeling neglected by his wife, Lu An felt somewhat troubled and poured himself a gla.s.s of wine. He unb.u.t.toned his suit, sat down on a chair, and exuded an air of aloofness that kept others at bay.

Seeing this from not too far away, Lin Yuan walked over boldly and clinked gla.s.ses with Lu An. “I want to taste this Maotai too.”

“Stay away from my wife,” Lu An warned immediately.

As soon as Lin Yuan’s tongue touched the white wine, it was so spicy that it recoiled. “Why?”

Lu An almost burst into laughter at Lin Yuan’s reaction. “Why? You better believe it. You’ve been eyeing my wife like a mouse eyeing a rice jar, almost drooling over her.”

Lin Yuan patted his shoulder with a smile as if she understood everything. “Don’t worry, your wife is my sister-in-law. I know the rules.”

Lu An remained skeptical, his gaze sharp. “You better.”

Lin Yuan smiled.

Jin Nian stood not too far away and accidentally witnessed the two of them chatting happily.

She couldn’t see Lu An’s expression, but she could see the joy on Lin Yuan’s face.

Jin Nian didn’t consider herself a petty person, but she couldn’t help but recall the warnings Yu Feifei had given her.

She told herself not to mind it, but her eyes involuntarily searched for Lu An.

Perhaps Lu An was feeling a bit warm, so he casually took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a strong arm.

At this moment, he must have b.u.mped into someone familiar. With a gla.s.s of wine in one hand and the other resting on the back of a chair, he a.s.sumed a relaxed and laid-back posture, yet he remained the center of attention no matter where he went..
