Chapter 55: Chapter 55: A Family

"Jiran, I understand Yanyi’s personality, and you should too, but since you both have decided to live a good life together, you need to be understanding and cherish each other. Although Yanyi has never mentioned it, she highly regards our parents’ marriage, and I hope you two can be happy together," Su Yanmo expressed, his primary concern naturally being his little sister’s happiness.

"Yanyi is wonderful, and I will do my utmost to take care of her. Please rest assured, Big Brother." He dared not promise that he could definitely give Su Yanyi happiness, because in his view, only someone loved can grant happiness. And Yanyi, at the current stage, couldn’t have such feelings for him. However, he was resolved to do everything within his power, everything that should be done, to ensure that not the slightest grievance would befall Yanyi while she was with him.

However, Yanyi was not the type to suffer grievances. In his heart, this woman had always been so strong, seemingly above all others, commanding respect from everyone. Anyone who dared to let her suffer would surely be courting death.

With this thought, a faint smile appeared on Qin Jiran’s lips - a smile uniquely belonging to Su Yanyi.

Su Yanmo had been closely observing Qin Jiran’s expressions, and seeing such a gentle look on his face finally put his mind at ease. This man’s feelings for Yanyi were indeed deep. Now all that he looked forward to was Yanyi’s recognition of her feelings for this man, hoping that she would understand her own heart soon.

Su Yanmo was not especially sensitive to matters of the heart, but he knew his younger sister too well. As someone cold and highly self-reliant, the people Yanyi cared about were few and far between. Those she could accept and acknowledge were even scarcer. Previously, it seemed that only family had a place in her heart, but now, Yanyi’s concern for Qin Jiran and the various changes in her actions had not gone unnoticed by Su Yanmo, who was well aware of how much his little sister cared for this man. The question was whether she was aware of her feelings.

Su Yanmo’s expression softened a great deal, with two men caring for the same woman, one out of familial love, and the other, love.

No matter how cold or indifferent a person might be, their heart always preserves a soft spot for someone or something precious – a place, person, or item. Whatever it may be, it’s what they cherish most and are willing to protect with all they have.

"I’ve been busy abroad lately, so you’ll need to look after the Su family matters here. Also, visit our parents more often when you have time. Grandfather is also very fond of Yanyi. Seeing you both return home together would make the elders very happy," Su Yanmo effectively expressed his utmost recognition for Qin Jiran with these words.

Qin Jiran was surprised and delighted but didn’t say anything to decline. He clearly held great respect for Su Yanmo, not only because he was Su Yanyi’s older brother, but also because in front of Su Yanmo, Qin Jiran was confident and assertive, showing none of the hesitant and timid demeanor he had around Su Yanyi.

"Don’t worry, Big Brother. I will." The Su family was mighty and didn’t really need Qin Jiran’s oversight, but he would remember to visit more often, preferably with Su Yanyi. Together with grandfather, father-in-law, and mother-in-law – as one big family, he too hoped they could all be happy.

Qin Jiran had never experienced the warmth of a family from a young age, and he didn’t quite understand the feeling of having a home. Even though he had been married to Su Yanyi for three years, his visits to the Su family had been infrequent. Although the Su family members were amiable, there was still a sense of distance, and the feeling of coldness in his small home with Su Yanyi was even more pronounced. He had tried many times to break this ice but to no avail.

But everything was clearly changing, and he was determined to steer this change in a positive direction!

He too longed for a true home!

Before departing, Qin Jiran promised to fulfill Su Yanmo’s request for autographed photos. The employees at Su Enterprises found out about this the same day, and Qin Jiran’s autographed photos would be distributed as part of the company’s year-end benefits to the hardest-working employees of the year, resulting in many of his fans screaming with delight.

Qin Jiran went back to the film set in the afternoon. With a new movie about to start shooting, there was even more work to be done.

Qin Jiran was busy until late, and when he thought of calling Su Yanyi, it was almost past dinner time. Just as he was about to take out his phone, it began to ring. He looked at the caller ID with some anticipation, only to immediately show a look of disappointment; the caller was not Su Yanyi.

"Lingyu?" Zhao Lingyu, Qin Jiran’s college classmate and roommate, was also one of his friends, though they didn’t contact each other often, their friendship was sound.

"Best Actor Qin, to think you still remember this humble one, it’s truly not easy!" Zhao Lingyu was somewhat playful, starting with a tease, but his tone was familiar, suggesting he wasn’t too concerned about their lack of contact.

After graduating from college, everyone had gone their separate ways, busy with work and life.

"What is it?" Qin Jiran responded coolly, ignoring the other’s jest. That was just his nature, and obviously, Zhao Lingyu knew it too.

"Tsk tsk, with your terrible personality, how did you manage to reach such heights in the entertainment industry? Isn’t it said that being a cool guy is no longer popular? Ah, I just can’t understand why all those girls scream at the mention of your name..." Clearly, Zhao Lingyu had the mentality of ’sour grapes,’ lamenting his single status.

"Get to the point." Qin Jiran was becoming impatient. He really wanted to call Su Yanyi and didn’t want to listen to a grown man rambling on!

"Alright, here’s the point. There are two things. First, you got married and didn’t even notify us; do you still see us as friends? Second, you must attend the gathering this time. We have a college reunion, and you’re the most famous among us. If you don’t show up, everyone will block your company’s entrance, so you decide!" Zhao Lingyu had made the call on behalf of others as well.

Qin Jiran rarely attended such gatherings. He didn’t have many friends and wasn’t much of a socializer. Aside from meeting with a few friends occasionally, he really had no interest in class reunions. But this time seemed a bit different. Apart from not having seen these friends for a while, the timing of the call was also intriguing. He remembered Wang Zhilin had called not long ago about a class reunion.
