Chapter 1568 Nicky And Yuyan
Jiang Yuyan glanced at Nicky who looked nervous under the pressure Lu Feng was creating and said, "Nicky, come with me. Let these men stew in their annoyance."
Nicky felt a rush of liberation and promptly rose to follow Jiang Yuyan out of the room.
Once they were alone, Jiang Yang's frustration boiled over. "Of all people, you had to be an ass with me, Lu Feng? What's gotten into you?"
Someone chuckled, diverting the others' attention.
"Find something amusing, An Tian?" Jiang Yang shot him a glare.
"They say love makes fools of us all, and we're witnessing a prime example here, Jiang Yang," An Tian remarked calmly. "Can't you see what Lu Feng did for you? Instead of berating him, you should thank him for taking on the role of the villain to expedite matters for you."
Lu Feng remained impassive, unmoved by Jiang Yang's attempt at reconciliation. You better take care of her this time."
"I'm already on it," Jiang Yang assured him. "And please, don't instruct Nicky to stay away from me. We've spent enough time apart already. Physical intimacy is crucial in a relationship, as you well know."
"It's ultimately her decision," Lu Feng stated firmly.
"I wish my brother was like this or brother Feng was my brother," Jake said calmly as he looked at An Tian.
An Tian scoffed, "What do you expect me to do. Not like you have any serious issues other than you and your guy acting stubborn for no reason. For that, we have no solution."
"True," Lu Feng spoke, " You two, just go to the rooftop and drown yourself in that swimming pool, so both of your brains can start functioning properly."
"I am alright. It's him who needs to fix his brain," Noah spoke. Jake glared at him, "We will see who needs fixing."

"I..." Nicky struggled to find her voice.
"Nicky, whether related by blood or not, you can't control someone else's actions. They are accountable for their own choices, and others shouldn't have to bear the burden of their sins. You were never responsible for what he did," Jiang Yuyan reassured her, her tone firm and supportive.
Tears streamed down Nicky's cheeks as Jiang Yuyan enveloped her in a comforting hug. "I can't express how happy I am to have you back, Nicky. I long for us to be like we were in the past. I want all of us to find happiness again."
Nicky sobbed as she hugged her friend tightly. "I'm sorry for running away instead of staying by your side to offer comfort. I just couldn't bring myself to face you. But all these years, I've missed you terribly and thought of our time together. I truly missed you, Yuyan."
"I missed you too," Jiang Yuyan replied softly, releasing her from the embrace and wiping her tears away. "If you want to make amends, then be with my brother."
Nicky nodded, her expression pained yet determined. "I need some time to adjust to everything. I know that despite how he acts like nothing happened, that past incident still weighs on him. Just like me, he's trying to move past it so we can be together."
"You two can take all the time you need, as long as you're together," Jiang Yuyan assured her, offering a supportive smile.
Once Nicky was calm, she asked, "How are you doing?"
"Uhm, better," Jiang Yuyan answered, having a content smile on her lips. "I know the reason for this smile," Nicky smiled back, "I must say it's a good 'reason'."
"Can't agree more."
"Is everyone fine with it at home?" Nicky asked. "Hmm. They had accepted us but sometimes I still feel a little hesitant. Just like you, I might need a time to come around completely."
"I can understand," Nicky said as she added, "I had never expected that little stubborn guy to turn like this. He reminds me of brother Qiang somehow."
Jiang Yuyan nodded, "Blood speaks for itself."
"I want to know how did it all happen. You have to tell me," Nicky urged. "I will tell you the day when you and my brother are together for real."
Nicky raised a brow, "Already blackmailing me to aide your brother?"
Jiang Yuyan chuckled playfully, "As a sister I can do at least this much for him."
