"But let me tell you, this rich person is going to pick a son-in-law and he has to be well-matched. "You said that you're a poor soldier, but you didn't accomplish anything, and you didn't have much money."

"Do you think that her parents would be willing to marry her to you?" Father Rong asked doubtfully while patting Ning Yun's shoulder.

Ning Yunyin lowered her head, unable to hold back her laughter. "It's me who isn't compatible with her."

His tone was full of ridicule and mockery. He was clearly toying with Ye Jinsu beside him.

Father Rong still didn't notice Ye Jinsu, but he released Ning Yunlian and sighed. He shook his head. "Look, that girl likes you too. She's always running so far for you."

"Why don't you just get married here, and avoid being separated after returning to the capital?"

The moment Ye Jinsu drank it, he spat out the tea.

Coincidently, it sprayed onto Father Rong's face.

A mouthful of cold tea brought a few quivers to his father, sobering him up. It made him forget what he had just said.

As he touched the water on his face, his father lowered his head and fell asleep on the table.

Ye Jinsu looked at her father apologetically. She reached out her hand to help him carry the handkerchief and wiped his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose …"

Ning Yunyin snickered from the side.

"Are you sure you didn't do it on purpose?"

Ye Jinxiu turned her head and glared at him, "I think you did it on purpose!"

He purposely spoke to her about this in front of her.

Ning Yun Ning smiled innocently, "Since Susu didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose."

"Shut up! "Don't scream!" Ye Jinsu glared at him again, extremely dissatisfied with the way Ning Yunyin pretended to be intimate with him and used her own words.

Xiao Rong'er was sitting in front of the bronze mirror in the room as she watched herself fiddling with the hairpin in the mirror.

Ye Jinsu walked over and blew out the candle, "Tomorrow, your Brother Qiang will come and propose to you. Why aren't you sleeping earlier?"

In the darkness, Xiao Rong'er pouted and whispered, "It's because of this that I can't sleep."

Ye Jinsu smiled and was silent for a moment.

"Your father is so nice to you." Ye Jinsu lowered her head and spoke softly.

Xiao Rong'er was still fiddling with her hairpin, as she replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, my father is my only family in this world."

Ye Jinsu lowered her head and smiled. Her action of simply pulling upwards from the corner of her mouth became a little difficult.

"This is great …" Ye Jinsu sighed.

Xiao Rong'er was silent for a moment. She finally noticed that Ye Jinsu's tone was a bit off.

She turned her head towards Ye Jinsu with suspicion, but she could only see a blurry figure in the darkness. Xiao Rong suddenly remembered that Ye Jinsu had told her that her father was not good to her.

"That what …" "My dad's temper is really bad, and sometimes he's not that good either …" Xiao Rong'er tried to open her mouth to say something, but the words didn't make sense.

"Besides, he doesn't have money. Unlike your father who does business in the capital, you're the eldest miss from the moment you were born …"

A lady whose father didn't hurt her and whose mother didn't love her …

It was ridiculous to think of it.

Ye Jinxiu lowered her head in silence for a moment.

Xiao Rong'er panicked a little when she saw that Ye Jinsu was silent. She stomped her foot and sat on the bed, beginning to scold her father for Ye Jinsu's sake, "If I had to say, he really isn't a person. If I didn't like your mother back then, why did I marry him?"

"Not only did he harm you, he also ruined your mother's life!"

Ye Jinsu was amused by her ineffably indignant tone. She had never been so angry herself, but little Rong'er was even more infuriated than she was.

"It's all in the past," said Ye Jinsu. "I'm doing fine at home."

However, when she saw how much Father Rong doted on Xiao Rong, she couldn't help but be jealous.

It was something she had never had in her two lifetimes.

Xiao Rong'er was speechless, she was not good at comforting people.

In the cool night, Ye Jinsu could not sleep and sat alone at the back of the house.

Above him, a full moon pierced through the clouds and then into the clouds. Under the moonlight, a piece of verdant bamboo forest was dark and occasionally bright. The wind rustled as it passed by.

Ye Jinsu was in a daze.

A cloak was draped over Ye Jinsu's shoulders, and Ning Yunxiao was standing behind her. His voice was especially clear in the gloomy darkness, "Don't catch a cold."

Ye Jinxiu was shocked and turned to look at him.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Seeing that you're not asleep, I came to accompany you." Ning Yunyin reached out a hand to tie the straps of her cloak.

Ye Jinsu looked at him and reached out her hand to stop his movements. She reached out to take off her cloak, "You should wear it. I won't catch a cold."

"You've already been sitting here for an hour. Do you think you're made of iron?"

Ye Jinsu smiled awkwardly, "How did you know …"

The window of Ning Yunyin's room could not be seen even from where she sat.

"Let's go back to the room. It's cold outside." Ning Yunyin grabbed her cold hands and rubbed them together.

"Thinking about your family?" Ning Yunyin looked at Ye Jinsu and asked. He could not be more familiar with Ye Jinsu's expression. Whenever she thought of Ye Shisui and the Ye Family, her expression would always be the same.

Unknowingly, Ning Yunyin had seen through Ye Jinsu once again.

"How do you know?"

Raising insects in his stomach?

Ning Yunyin didn't answer her, but lowered her head and carefully covered her hands. She said, "You should have brought the warm jade I gave you. Your hands would be cold in the winter."

"You know that too?" Ye Jinsu looked at Ning Yunyin with a slightly surprised expression.

Did he really raise insects in his stomach?

Ning Yunyin lowered her head to look at her. She reached out her hand to hold Ye Jinsu's face, pressed her forehead against his, and softly said, "I can't make up for what he lost to you, but I'll never be absent from your heart."

Ning Yunyin's voice was somewhat restrained. In the chaotic night, it was like a heavy confession.

Ye Jinsu's eyes widened. They were too close, so much so that Moonlight couldn't see through them. Ye Jinxiu couldn't even see his features clearly.

However, his voice was so soft and heavy. Every word of his was soothing Ye Jinsu's uneven heart. Ye Jinsu smiled and felt a bit of pain on her nose again.

She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Ning Yunyin's neck, burying her face in his chest.

The night is cunning enough to cover everything, so it can make timid people brave.

Ye Jinsu smiled at his chest, her eyes wet with tears. The moonlight that day was especially gentle, gentle to the point that she felt that as long as she was by his side, nothing else mattered.

As long as she had him, she would always be happy like this.

Because he spoke, he would never be absent from his heart. He was clearly the one who was missing the most. He was the one who carried the burden the most, yet he had to bear the burden of it first.

Ye Jinsu hugged her tightly, blocking the strong emotions from her chest.

For a split-second, Ye Jinsu had already made up her mind. She was willing to accompany Ning Yunyin as she walked down the path. It didn't matter if he was trying to seize that position, or was full of ambition.

She would always be with him.

They were all people who had been missing in their lives. Only by hugging each other could they fill their hearts.
