"Married?"
Chu Lingchuan's eyes were filled with suspicion as he turned to look at the silent Ye Yunfeng beside An Nuan. His gaze held a hint of intrigue, and a teasing smile played on his lips. "Don't tell me your husband is him?"
"..." Uh...
An Nuan glanced awkwardly at Ye Yunfeng, a momentary flush of embarrassment crossing her face.
What was she supposed to say?
Her husband was indeed Ye Yunfeng. But with this person having jumped the gun, if she revealed it now, it would seem like she was trying to pull a fast one.
"W-We just got married..."
An Nuan stammered.
In truth, even she couldn't believe that she had so hastily tied the knot.
As soon as An Nuan's words fell, You Fengqiu immediately grew anxious.
He rushed in front of An Nuan, his expression serious as he asked, "Lu An Nuan, are you really married?"
"Yes, really."
An Nuan nodded firmly. Without warning, You Fengqiu raised his hand and slapped An Nuan across the face with a loud "smack."
An Nuan's face was turned to one side, her cheek stinging with pain.
Turning back, she looked at her mother in confusion, only to see her eyes filled with a furious disappointment.
“Lu An Nuan, has your memory been eaten by a dog? How many times have I told you that you can't be reckless when choosing a man? Do you even know what kind of person he is? Does he have the means to provide you with a stable life for the rest of your days? You just jump into marriage without thinking! If you get divorced, you'll be nothing but second-hand goods. And if you end up with a child, who will want you then? What on earth are you thinking? Haven't you remembered anything I've taught you?”
You Fengqiu scolded her, and as she spoke, she raised her hand again to give her disappointing daughter another slap.
How many times had she tried to reason with her? Yet Lu An Nuan seemed to remember none of it.
An Nuan bit her lip, suppressing her anger as she listened to the tirade.
Wasn't she getting married for her mother’s sake?
And yet here she was, delivering a slap without hesitation.
Indeed, she was her biological mother.
“I am not you. Even without a man, I can live well on my own. At least I won't end up like you, in decline.”
Nor would she allow herself to fall back into a life of hardship after things had finally improved.
“Lu An Nuan, say that again!”
An Nuan's words struck at You Fengqiu's pain.
The woman who once feared Chu Lingchuan now had no regard for him at all.
A surge of anger rose within her, aimed squarely at An Nuan. But An Nuan stood her ground, allowing her mother to rush forward. Just as a hand was about to slap her face, a pair of strong hands swiftly caught her wrists. With a firm pull, she found herself falling into a broad embrace.
"She is mine now. No one else is allowed to lay a finger on her."
Ye Yunfeng's voice was deep and sharp, his piercing gaze fixed on You Fengqiu.
You Fengqiu froze for a moment. Though Ye Yunfeng had done nothing, an inexplicable chill ran down her spine.
"This is my daughter; I can do as I please," she said, trying to maintain a facade of strength despite feeling somewhat guilty. Ye Yunfeng scoffed coldly, "It seems we didn't need to come here after all."
With that, he gently brushed An Nuan's hair aside and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Leaning closer, he whispered in her ear, "I’m here."
Those simple words made An Nuan freeze in place. It felt as if warmth had suddenly ignited in her heart.
For the first time, someone held her so protectively. This feeling was infuriatingly wonderful.
