Ever since that day when I went to the suburbs to see the venue.

Time seemed to be fast-forwarded, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day before the wedding.

All the necessary preparations were in place by then.

Yu Lian lay leisurely on a recliner at home, applying face masks with her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, your skin is so good, it makes me a little anxious."

Yu Lian touched her cheek and thought that her good skin was due not only to genetics but also to the spiritual spring water.

Now that they don't live together, it's really not an easy thing for the sister-in-law to drink the spiritual spring water to maintain her health for a long time.

"I have a skin-nourishing formula, but you have to take this medicine consistently. If you only take it sporadically, it definitely won't work."

Upon hearing that she had to take medicine, He Xinglan immediately refused, "Forget it, sister-in-law, you should keep the medicine for yourself. You know I hate taking medicine the most."

"I know, wait a moment."

Yu Lian carefully got up, protecting the face mask on her face, and took out a glass bottle containing bright red pills from the living room cabinet.

"Try one."

He Xinglan picked up one with some skepticism and took a small bite. "Hmm! It's sweet and sour, and it tastes like grapes. Sister-in-law, are you sure this is medicine?"

"Of course, this was developed by our research institute. It's been on the market for more than half a year and the user feedback has been very good. It often sells out as soon as it's released. It's normal that you don't know about it because you don't pay attention to these things."

He Xinglan accepted the medicine generously, saying that if it were fruit-flavored, she would definitely continue taking it.

"By the way, sister-in-law, are you nervous? You're getting married tomorrow, and this will be your first proper wedding."

"I'm not nervous. It's just a simple ceremony, and the people who came were close family members."

"Sister-in-law, that Xin..."

"You came here on Yu Xin's orders today, didn't you? I was wondering why you haven't been looking for me since you started dating Xue Zhi. Why did you come to my door today?"

Seeing that his sister-in-law was angry, He Xinglan confessed everything.

"Sister-in-law, please don't be angry and ignore me. You're getting married tomorrow, so don't get angry and ruin the harmony. Also, Xin Xin and I met on the street. She was going for a prenatal checkup. If you don't let her go, she'll be sad for the rest of her life."

He Xinglan's mouth seemed to have a cheat code; she blurted out this long string of words without taking a breath.

She saw the person next to her stand up nervously, looking like they had done something wrong, waiting to be punished.

Yu Lian couldn't help but doubt herself. Was she really that scary when she was angry?

"Alright, alright, you're making it sound like I'm going to eat someone alive. Let her have her way, as long as she doesn't bring Zhuo Heng around in front of me."

Upon receiving the "imperial decree," He Xinglan nearly jumped for joy.

"Sister-in-law, I knew you were the kindest person in the world!"

After Yu Lian finished speaking, she couldn't wait to go back to the house and report the good news to Yu Xin.

If I hadn't notified her sooner, she probably would have been restless all day.

He Xinglan went in, and He Ning'an came out.

"Mom, Uncle Li is looking for you. He says he has something important to tell you."

Yu Lian peeled off the face mask, casually threw on a coat, and went out.

"Li Yanshen, how are you feeling?"

Li Yanshen looked at the little tagalong behind Yu Lian and laughed, "Can I talk to you alone? I heard you and your husband aren't having a wedding. Congratulations."

"Okay, Hehe, go inside and play with your brother."

The child nodded and ran off. After confirming that no one was around, Li Yanshen cautiously asked, "Sister Yu Nian, how did you and your husband meet? Do you understand each other?"

"Um... Li Yanshen, is there anything else you want to say? Just say it."

"I was afraid you'd misunderstand. You saved me, and I didn't want you to be kept in the dark."

He looked conflicted and hesitant, making anyone who came over unable to resist the urge to know what he was going to say.

"No, although I may look young and unreliable, I've seen it all. Even if you told me now that my husband cheated on me, I wouldn't go crazy."

A few minutes later, Li Yanshen finally spoke, "Did you know your husband has a mental illness?"

After waiting for a long time, all she got in the end was this sentence, and Yu Lian couldn't help but laugh.

"Li Yanshen, I know his illness very well, and it's partly my fault. Thank you for your concern, but his condition has improved a lot, and nothing uncontrollable will happen."

Seeing how much she trusted her partner, Li Yanshen wanted to speak, but hesitated several times.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong, but a voice inside him kept urging him to tell the woman across from him the truth.

"Sister Yu Nian, you are a very good person, and you deserve a better man."

Yu Nian was puzzled, and naturally said, "He's almost perfect in my heart. Anyway, thank you for worrying about me. I'm glad you consider me a friend."

Yu Lian turned to leave, but Li Yan, steeling his resolve, said, "What if I said his illness was feigned?"

Yu Lian paused, then slowly turned her head. "Li Yanshen, are you misunderstanding something? He was very ill back then."

Li Yanshen nodded. "He does have a mental illness, but it's not serious enough to make him want to die. He's lying to you to gain your sympathy and setting you up step by step."

Yu Lian subconsciously didn't believe Li Yanshen's words, but she was also deeply attracted by them, after all, He Lin and Li Yanshen had no connection.

Why does Li Yanshen know about He Lin's affairs?

"Li Yanshen, you need to have evidence to back up your claims."

Seeing that he was finally moved, Li Yanshen immediately recounted how he discovered the matter.

"My sister and I went to the hospital for a check-up and ran into his old friend."

"He is the director of the hospital's psychology department. I saw that there were too many things piled up on his desk, and some patients' medical records had slipped down. I accidentally saw He Lin's name, which clearly stated mild depression."

"If you don't understand what mild depression is, I can explain it to you now. I promise every word I just said is true, and if it's false I..."

"Alright, that's enough. Li Yanshen, go home and rest. I'll investigate this matter myself."

Yu Lian finished speaking quickly and turned to leave.

Li Yanshen looked at his trembling hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lunch is ready, Li Yanshen, come on over." Li Zhiya came out and sighed as she looked at her younger brother across the hall.

Even after returning home and sitting at the dining table, Li Yanshen's heart rate had not returned to normal.

Li Zhiya placed a bowl of rice in front of her younger brother and asked, "Can't you not go?"

"No, sister, I want to go. I finally swallowed my pride and begged Sister Yu Nian, but only her closest friends and family can attend her wedding ceremony."

Li Zhiya put down her chopsticks and said, "Li Yanshen, you two are not on the same path. Besides, her gaze has never lingered on you for even a second."

*Thud*—The chopsticks slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground. Li Yanshen instinctively bent down to pick them up, but his sister had already picked them up.

"Alright, change your shoes and eat them. I'll take you tomorrow."

Li Yanshen nodded, a hint of farewell in his eyes as he looked at his sister.
