Ye Ling smiled. “I find this room quite nice. I’m sorry for inconveniencing you.”
Min Nan was surprised that Ye Ling didn’t mind sleeping in the bed he had used before. This sent a ripple through his heart as if a feather were softly brushing against it.
Ye Ling set her belongings down and noticed the clean table and neatly made bed with old-fashioned floral sheets adorned with red peonies on the deep pink fabric.
“If you need anything, just let me know, or you can tell my godmother. Don’t worry about bothering us. As you can see, my godmother had four sons and she always wished for a daughter. I can tell she likes you. Just consider her as treating you like a daughter, so you don’t have to be so formal around her,” Min Nan looked at Ye Ling’s fair profile and spoke softly.
Ye Ling nodded and smiled. “I also get along well with Auntie Sun. Alright, I’ll go check the kitchen and see if there’s anything I can help with. ”
Soon, Wan Hai and Wan Feng returned from work. Wan Xue, who had been playing at his friend’s house, also came back. Ye Ling brought out stacked bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, while Min Nan carried a plate of meat pies, following behind Ye Ling.
Wan Hai and Wan Feng, standing at the living room door, looked at them with knowing expressions.
“What’s the meaning of this? Why is she staying in our house? Is it that serious? Brother Min Nan is so efficient!” Wan Feng whispered.
Wan Hai glanced disdainfully at Wan Feng. “What are you thinking? Ye Ling is a girl who respects traditions. How could she move in with her boyfriend just because they’re dating? I’m guessing she must have run into some trouble.”
Wan Hai and Wan Feng had just returned and were unaware of Ye Ling’s encounter with Wang Gang. It wasn’t until the family gathered for dinner that Sun Li officially announced that Ye Ling would be staying with them for a while. She briefly mentioned Wang Gang’s attempt to force himself Ye Ling and Min Nan to intervene.
After hearing Sun Li’s words, Wan Feng almost flipped the table. “That old b*stard, Wang Gang! Doesn’t he know what he looks like? How dare he have eyes for Sister Lingling? I’ll gather some guys and teach him a lesson!”
Wan Hai looked at Wan Feng helplessly. “Leave Lingling’s situation to Min Nan. Why are you getting involved? Min Nan has a unique status. Wang Gang can’t touch him. He’s the best person to handle this. Don’t worry. Would Min Nan let anything happen to Lingling?
Though Wan Hai’s words were grounded in reality, they left Ye Ling feeling uneasy, as if Min Nan was taking care of everything for her, creating an unexpectedly ambiguous feeling.
Having consumed a couple of meat pies, Wan Xue’s lips were greasy. He glanced at Ye Ling and said, “Sister Lingling, why don’t you stay with us a few more days? Whenever you’re around, my mom always cooks delicious food…”
Before Wan Xue could finish, Sun Li playfully smacked him on the head. “Why are you making it sound like I mistreat you regularly?”
Everyone at the dining table burst into laughter.
With Wan Feng and Li Bin around, dinner was filled with lively conversation. Ye Ling soaked up the cheerful atmosphere of the Sun family, feeling warm and content. It was as if she was already a part of this wonderful extended family.
Since her mother’s passing, Ye Ling had never experienced the warmth of a normal family. Her father was indifferent, and her stepmother and stepsister treated her poorly. She felt like an invisible presence at home.
But now, in the Sun family, Ye Ling sensed that everyone had embraced her and made her feel cherished.
Sun Li would serve her the crispiest meat pies, Wan Hai would engage her in conversation to ease her nerves, Wan Feng and Wan Hai addressed her as “Sister Lingling”, and Li Bin always included her in discussions, helping her blend into the lively atmosphere.
Though Min Nan spoke less, Ye Ling knew he cared deeply for her as well.
After dinner, Sun Li stopped Ye Ling from helping with the dishes. “You’ll have plenty of household chores to do when you get married. For now, be a good girl and go play with Wan Xue and the others.”
After Li Bin finished eating, he exchanged a few words with Min Nan before leaving.
Wan Hai usually took a post-dinner walk, but the rain today had made the path muddy. Unable to go for a walk, he instead performed a set of radio gymnastics in the yard.
Observing his brother’s graceful moves, Wan Feng chuckled while clutching his stomach. ‘What kind of normal person does radio exercises at home? Second Brother, I might just laugh to death!”
Wan Hai was full of the temperament of an old cadre. He was calm and indifferent. He did not care about Wan Feng’s mockery at all and elegantly completed a set of radio gymnastics..
