Chapter 179 She Won't Let Go
"click"

Having just finished showering, Chen Yan, who was walking out of the bathroom, heard the sound of the door opening. He was slightly taken aback, but then his expression brightened with joy.

Besides himself, the only people who know his house password are Kim Tae-yeon's older sister and Choi Sulli.

He'd be happy no matter which of the two people came.

Two seconds later, Kim Tae-yeon's petite figure came into his sight.

Chen Yan smiled instinctively: "Nuna."

But the smile vanished the next second.

He strode over, looked at Kim Tae-yeon's slightly red and swollen eyes, and asked with a worried frown:

"Nuna, why are you crying? What happened?"

This woman seemed to be having a good chat with him this afternoon, so why does she look so sad now?

The man's voice caused a slight ripple in Kim Tae-yeon's previously vacant eyes.

She looked up at Chen Yan, said nothing, but took a step forward and put her arms around his waist.

On his fair hands, the veins stood out clearly as he exerted force.

Kim Tae-yeon hugged him very tightly, even though she had already used all her strength, she still wanted to hold on a little tighter.

It was as if she was afraid the man would disappear at any moment.

Feeling an unprecedented force coming from his waist, Chen Yan pursed his lips and didn't ask anything more.

Instead, he reached out and hugged the older woman, gently lifting her up and carrying her towards the living room.

He sat down on the sofa and placed Kim Tae-yeon on his lap. Kim Tae-yeon's arms around his waist did not loosen at all.

Chen Yan didn't say anything, but simply raised his hand and gently stroked the older sister's back again and again.

Having known Kim Tae-yeon for so long, this was the first time he had seen her like this.

However, since she didn't answer at first, I won't ask her anymore.

The room fell into a silent silence.

After a long pause, Kim Tae-yeon's soft voice suddenly came from her arms: "Xiao Yan."

"Ok?"

"Will you leave me?"

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then replied without hesitation, "No."

Kim Tae-yeon lifted her head from his embrace and looked at him, asking again, "Really not?"

It was as if she was asking the man in front of her, and also as if she was asking herself.

Looking into those red and swollen eyes, which held a hint of confusion, Chen Yan smiled gently and replied firmly, "No."

Although he didn't know why his sister suddenly asked this question, he knew that what Kim Tae-yeon needed right now was to give a firm answer again and again.

The confusion in Kim Tae-yeon's eyes lessened slightly, but she still pursed her lips and continued to ask:
"What if a very pretty girl comes to pursue you?"

After saying that, she added, "She's even prettier than me."

"No, that won't happen."

"ah!"

Kim Tae-yeon couldn't help but raise her hand and punch Chen Yan's chest, pouting, "Can you think carefully before you answer? You're not serious at all."

Chen Yan blinked: "But I'm serious, Nuna. There are so many beautiful girls in the world, I can't like them all."

Seeing that the older sister was still pouting, he smiled, leaned down slightly, and gently rubbed against Kim Tae-yeon's upturned nose.

"Nuna, I really like Nuna, maybe even more than you can imagine."

A hint of urgency appeared between Kim Tae-yeon's brows: "How much do you like it?"

She desperately needs Chen Yan to express his love for her.

"Yeah, it's the kind of liking that you still like even after you know about Nuna's flaws."

What are my shortcomings?

"Hmm," Chen Yan said, listing the features with ease: "No eyebrows, a bit big feet, and when he smiles..."

"ah!"

Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kim Tae-yeon, who sat up angrily in his arms, and pounded his shoulder hard.

Despite being punched by Kim Tae-yeon, Chen Yan kept smiling.

After the older sister finished venting, he looked at Kim Tae-yeon, whose face still showed some lingering anger, and said:
"Nuna, are you feeling better now?"

Kim Tae-yeon paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and snuggled back into Chen Yan's arms.

Chen Yan gently stroked her back with his right hand and asked softly, "Nuna, can you tell me what happened?"

There was no response from her arms for a moment, then Kim Tae-yeon's muffled voice finally broke out: "I...I watched a movie tonight, and the male and female leads broke up in the end."

Chen Yan was taken aback: "So, Nuna thought of you and me because of this?"

Kim Tae-yeon's head moved slightly in his arms.

She couldn't tell Chen Yan about Lin Yoona's situation; it was something that couldn't be explained at all.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly, but Chen Yan didn't suspect anything.

Girls are naturally more emotional; some even dream about their boyfriends cheating on them and then have a huge fight with them after waking up. It's normal for them to overthink things after watching a sad movie.

He actually found the older woman rather cute.

Chen Yan hugged Kim Tae-yeon even tighter, coaxing her like a child, "Don't worry, noona, we won't be like in the movies."

Kim Tae-yeon pursed her lips, and her heart, which had been uneasy ever since she learned of Im Yoon-ah's rebirth, gradually calmed down.

I still have my own advantages.

After a while, she sat up again, looked at Chen Yan, pouted and said "fiercely": "Remember what you said now, or I won't let you off the hook."

"Yes, I will always remember that."

Chen Yan replied with a smile, completely unconcerned about the older sister's "threat," because he was indeed confident that he could do it.

Only a fool would let go of a sister who is so sweet and gentle, who loves him so much, and who is willing to sacrifice and compromise for him.

But the next second, he suddenly thought of something: "But Nuna, I have a question."

"what?"

"If, I'm just saying if."

To prevent the older sister from becoming emotionally unstable again, Chen Yan specifically emphasized that this was just a hypothetical situation.

"If it's Nuna who wants to break up with me..."

He stopped there, only looking at Kim Tae-yeon, his meaning clear.

Relationships are a two-way street; no matter how well he makes his own promises, it's useless. It all depends on what the older sister thinks.

Kim Tae-yeon blinked and suddenly showed her first smile since meeting Chen Yan that night.

"Don't worry, I won't leave Xiaoyan either."

After saying that, she reached out and hugged Chen Yan's neck, then embraced him again, resting her head on his shoulder.

His eyes were glazed over, and he murmured, "I will never leave Xiaoyan."

It was as if she was talking to herself, or as if she was declaring something.

As the murmurs faded, the thought that had been nagging at Kim Tae-yeon's mind ever since she met Im Yoon-ah was completely nipped in the bud.

Yes, how could I possibly leave Xiaoyan?

This is a romance novel that I really, really like.

This is the man I worked hard to win over, why should I give him back?

Besides, Xiao Yan isn't a good person, how could she just return it like that? Xiao Yan doesn't like Yun'er in this life either.

She won't let go.

Even if Yoona tries to take her away later, she won't let go.
