"If the Xie family can understand, they will join me in protecting Nian Nian wholeheartedly. If they can't understand, I... will just treat them as if they have no relatives."
Nan Tianyi immediately stopped persuading her.
He knew Xie Tingyun's character well. She looked gentle and weak, but in fact she had her own ideas. Even ten cows couldn't stop her from making a decision.
Besides, he couldn't bear to go against his wife's wishes.
Nan Tianyi patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm here. I will also protect Nian Nian."
Xie Tingyun turned his head to look at him, his eyes flickering slightly, leaning on his shoulder, and whispered: "Thank you, Tianyi."

Outside, the black SUV had been waiting on the side of the road for who knows how long.
Ye Wangchuan opened the car window, put his elbows outside, and kept his eyes fixed on the other side of the road.
Soon, a cold figure walked out from inside.
Ye Wangchuan unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, walked over, and took the things in the girl's hand. The two books were quite heavy.
While helping Qiao Nian carry things, he whispered, "Why didn't you tell me it was so heavy? I can go in and help you carry it."
"It's okay, it's not that heavy." He took away all the books in Qiao Nian's arms, and she felt a lot more relaxed. She put one hand in her pocket and followed him.
Ye Wangchuan opened the rear door and put her things in. Then he turned around and reached out his hand to the girl.
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows, understood what he meant almost immediately, and handed him the shoulder bag.
As expected, Ye Wangchuan put her shoulder bag in the car and closed the door. He walked around to the front and opened the front passenger door: "Get in."
Qiao Nian got into the car neatly.
Close the car door yourself.
Ye Wangchuan walked around to the other side and quickly closed the car door, started the car, and asked her: "Have you had dinner?"
Qiao Nian hummed, opened the car window to let in the outside air, put his elbows outside, and replied lazily, "I ate it."
Ye Wangchuan smiled, seeming to be very regretful: "Is that so. But what should I do if I don't eat, Nian Nian?" Qiao Nian's mind was still full of what Xie Tingyun mentioned to her, and she was absent-minded.
Hearing this, she paused for a moment.
When she turned around, she met the man's stern eyes.
Qiao Nian's heartstrings seemed to be touched, and she quickly turned her head away: "Hey, what do you want to eat?"
Ye Wangchuan liked to see her uneasy look, and he supported his chin with his hand and smiled: "That depends on what Master Qiao wants to treat me to."
Qiao Nian: “…”
She quickly realized someone's little thoughts. Her dark eyes were clear and bright. She looked at him deeply, as if there was a dangerous light in her eyes. Her voice was hoarse and hoarse: "Are you sure you want to discuss this issue with me?"
Ye Wangchuan didn't have time to answer her.
Qiao Nian reminded him again in a low voice: "You were the one who said you had to wait a year."
That's what she was talking about.
Ye Wangchuan said he would wait for a year or so, until her twentieth birthday, and it wasn't that she didn't want to.
Ye Wangchuan didn't expect Qiao Nian to be so aggressive and directly brought up their previous agreement.
The expression on his usually calm and handsome face froze for a second, and a wave of heat rose from his body. He reached out to turn on the air conditioner in the car and turned up the cold air.
As the car was filled with cool air, the spark in his heart gradually subsided.
Ye Wangchuan was somewhat helpless and full of tenderness. He was reluctant to say anything to her and could only digest his own anger by himself: "Let's go to the movies tonight?"
"You're not busy anymore?" Qiao Nian saw him turning on the air conditioner, pushed his cap down, revealing a delicate chin, and sat comfortably in his seat: "No more watching, let's go eat first."
