The next day.

Unbeknownst to Yu Lian, she met her younger sister Yu Xin and Zhuo Heng when she went to her in-laws' house to discuss wedding arrangements with them.

Without a second's hesitation, Yu Lian pretended not to see them, bypassed the two, and found the culprits who had orchestrated this whole affair—the guilty couple sitting on the sofa.

"Mom, I'm a little tired. I'm going upstairs to take a half-hour nap."

Everyone could see that Yu Lian was unhappy, and no one in the entire family dared to say a word.

Li Ying only dared to answer her daughter-in-law's question, "Okay, you get some rest, we'll discuss it first."

He Lin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, idly fiddling with his watch.

After glancing at Xue Zhi, she raised her chin at him.

Xue Zhi swallowed hard and quietly gave a thumbs up.

Actually, he had sensed it a long time ago, and now he is even more convinced that Yu Lian, who is his future sister-in-law, is the head of both families.

That natural, untamed aura is something most people can't imitate.

Seeing this, He Xinglan pinched the man next to her, "Behave yourself, what are you doing? Why aren't you going up to my brother?"

The atmosphere at the scene was so awkward it could have been dug out into an underground palace.

He Lin glanced at Yu Xin, his gaze falling on her hand resting on her stomach.

Although the difference wasn't immediately apparent, her subconscious actions betrayed her current state.

If the people upstairs find out, it won't be as simple as just ignoring them.

He Lin sighed and hurried upstairs. Yu Lian was not asleep in the bedroom; she rolled up her sleeves and tidied the room.

"Are you angry? You're even angrier. From what I've observed, your sister is probably pregnant."

He knew perfectly well which side he was on and who he should stand with.

Without hesitation, he immediately revealed his discovery.

"What did they say before I arrived?"

"You know perfectly well, right? They're probably afraid that if you come, they'll lose control of the situation."

"Didn't you mention what you were just talking about?"

"He didn't say, I was just guessing."

Yu Lian knew that He Lin wouldn't say things he wasn't sure about.

It will take at least a month.

"Let her be. I've already sworn I wouldn't interfere."

Seeing the inner struggle in the person in front of him, He Lin subconsciously hugged Yu Lian. His movements were gentle, and he earnestly comforted her, "Don't worry, if that brat Zhuo Heng dares to do anything outrageous, I will definitely not let him off. Also, I have already had someone investigate. He is not fickle, nor has he messed around with other women, except for that dead first love."

He Lin's words of comfort were rendered useless by his final, blunt truth.

"He Lin, if I die, you will remember me for the rest of your life..."

After He Lin realized what was happening, he stopped her from continuing.

"First of all, we won't discuss the topic of life and death until you're a hundred years old. Secondly, to answer the question you wanted to ask, of course, but I will not remarry. I love you more than anything, but I am not Zhuo Heng, and I don't know if he has let go or if he thinks that love and marriage and having children can be separated."

He Lin's words struck Yu Lian's heart like a hammer blow.

Sometimes, people should abandon reason for a moment and enjoy the comfort that comes from being moved by emotions.

"Yes, thank you."

"Saying thank you is not as good as giving me a kiss..."

Now it was He Lin's turn to stop talking abruptly.

Yu Lian willingly complied with his request, a brief kiss that had just ended.

He Lin's wistful gaze made Yu Lian unable to suppress a smile.

"Fool……"

"Yes, whatever you say is right."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lian laughed even harder.

"I don't want to go down. You can express my thoughts for me. I'm afraid I'll get into an argument with them and it might affect Lanlan and Dr. Xue's affairs."

"Yes, I will definitely live up to my wife's expectations!"

Today, the two families are getting together to discuss the wedding arrangements.

He's parents felt that He Lin was the eldest son, and their marriage was hard-won, unlike their youngest daughter's situation, so they wanted to hold the wedding for the two of them first.

Xue's parents had no objections.

Yu Lian's parents had no objections.

Originally, it was thought that the discussion would take a long time, but all three families agreed that it only took less than half an hour.

The locations and schedules for both weddings were confirmed.

The rest can be handled by professionals.

During the meal, Yu Lian took the initiative to get down from the table to avoid making the atmosphere too awkward.

As soon as she sat down, a piece of food was placed in Yu Lian's bowl.

It was Yu Xin who picked it up; her purpose was naturally to apologize to her sister and make up.

Yu Lian was genuinely angry this time, and she wasn't going to give him any way out.

"Thank you, Auntie. Mom doesn't like vegetables, but I'll eat them."

Caught between her aunt and mother, He Ning'an, not wanting to upset them, put the food into her own bowl and ate it in big bites.

"Sister, I'm sorry..."

Yu Xin didn't get her sister's forgiveness; instead, her brother-in-law stopped her, saying, "Yu Xin, don't talk while you're eating. Your sister hasn't eaten all day. Let her eat properly. If there's anything, we can talk about it after dinner."

Left with no other choice, Yu Xin had to agree.

The meal was tasteless, but Yu Lian could still treat others normally, clearly not giving Yu Xin a chance.

After dinner, Yu Lian unexpectedly came to visit. Yu Xin was overjoyed, tears welling up in her eyes, thinking that her sister had finally forgiven her.

This is the first time in their lives that the two sisters have had such a long argument.

"Don't misunderstand, I just want to reiterate my attitude. Yu Xin, don't think that I will make up with you again. You did the right thing. You are over 20 years old. It's normal that we have some disagreements because our values ​​are different. Of course, we are still sisters. It's just that we have our own lives now. You should understand what I mean."

Soon after, Yu Xin's joyful tears turned into tears of sorrow.

The tears flowed silently down her cheeks, but Yu Lian ignored them all.

Though seemingly heartless, Yu Lian felt even more pain than Yu Xin.

But her intuition told her that Yu Xin's decision was wrong.

And she still clings to her feelings to this day.

Zhuo Heng is certainly good at his job, but as a husband, he is not a good choice.

"I already advised you before. Before our love, you chose what you thought was love. Don't cry to me now. I have no pity for you."

"No, sister, I didn't abandon you."

"Do as you please. I don't want to dwell on this. Let it be. You've got the life you wanted, and I'm going back to my own life. You won't die without me, and neither will I. See clearly how much I mean to you. Don't lie to yourself."

Yu Xin was stung by Yu Lian's words and squatted on the ground in pain.

Zhuo Heng rushed over anxiously to check on her condition.

"Sister Nian, are you taking it out on me? This was my idea."

Yu Lian wanted to say something, but He Lin interrupted her.

"Sorry, we've chatted enough for today, we have to go back now, the child hasn't taken his medicine yet."

He Lin's appearance abruptly ended what seemed like an endless debate.

"Okay, let's go."

Yu Lian glanced at Zhuo Heng. His actions just now convinced her that there was another reason why Zhuo Heng agreed to marry Yu Xin.
