Yan Qinghan spoke sharply, declaring, "What are you talking about? Don’t forget, I’m currently the one at the helm of the Yan Country Group, and you’re all just living at my mercy! Out of respect, I call you brother and sister-in-law, otherwise, you are nothing! Remember my words today, Nuannuan and Chuxia are my treasures, more important than my own life! No matter what you say about me, I don’t care! Just don’t harm them in the slightest!"

Listening to his words, Guan Nuannuan couldn’t help but feel moved and her eyes reddened!

Even Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but applaud, "Yan Qinghan, well said! So domineering, I finally see you as a man!"

Yan Qinghan turned his head to look at Ling Yueyue, the sharp demeanor from earlier disappeared in an instant when he looked at Ling Yueyue, turning into a playful smirk, "Yueyue sister-in-law, are you saying I wasn’t like a man before?"

Ling Yueyue raised her eyebrows and laughed, "Of course! You always seemed like a woman before, today I finally realized you’re a real man!"

Yan Qinghan teased, "Should I thank you for your compliment?"

Although knowing Yan Qinghan’s words were sarcastic, Ling Yueyue pretended not to notice, smiling, "Haha! No need, no need!"

"...!" Yan Qinghan stiffly pulled at the corners of his mouth, then looked at Yan Minghao and Li Chunhua, and sternly said, "I’ve said what I needed to say, you can leave now!"

"Yan Qinghan, you...!" Li Chunhua was so angry she wanted to say more but was forcefully dragged away by Yan Minghao!

"Daddy is awesome! Daddy is amazing!" After Li Chunhua and Yan Minghao left, Yan Chuxia excitedly gave Yan Qinghan a kiss on the cheek as a reward.

"Sweetheart, one more!" Yan Qinghan wasn’t satisfied with one kiss and leaned his other cheek towards Yan Chuxia.

Yan Chuxia promptly kissed the other cheek!

"Good girl!" Yan Qinghan affectionately ruffled Yan Chuxia’s little head!

Guan Nuannuan looked at Ye Anxin and Ling Yueyue and the others, blushing and full of apologies, "Everyone, I’m sorry to have embarrassed you!"

Ling Yueyue quickly waved her hand dismissively, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing! We’ve seen such occasions many times, we’re used to it!"

"What?" Guan Nuannuan looked at her puzzled, for a moment not understanding what she meant.

Seeing she didn’t understand, Ling Yueyue laughed and explained, "I mean, every family has one or two unique characters! Even more unique than them! So, we’re used to it!"

"Oh!" Guan Nuannuan nodded in sudden realization and made a gesture, "Let me lead you inside! The birthday banquet is about to start!"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded in agreement and let Guan Nuannuan lead them into the banquet hall.

The birthday banquet was held in the main hall on the first floor of the villa. When they entered, they saw the large banquet hall crowded with people. The men were all in well-tailored suits, and the women were dressed in elegant and luxurious outfits, clearly all from the upper class!

Everyone held a wine glass, talking and laughing with those around them, the whole atmosphere was very lively!

Guan Nuannuan pointed to the arrangements inside the banquet hall and explained, "There’s the drink station, and that side is the buffet, feel free to eat whatever you want! If it’s inconvenient, you can ask the servants to get it for you!"

Ling Yueyue scanned the entire banquet hall and nodded, "Okay, we get it, go ahead and take care of your business!"

"Alright then! We’ll go greet the other guests first! Make yourself at home!" With that, she nodded to Ye Anxin and the others, then left with Yan Qinghan and Yan Chuxia.

After Guan Nuannuan and Yan Qinghan left, Ling Yueyue quickly turned around and said to Ye Anxin, Lin Shengxia, and Xia Yunmo, "Let’s stick together as women, let them be with the men, we’ll go get something to eat! Staying with the men is boring, all they talk about is business!"

Xia Yunmo easily agreed, "Sure! Let’s go grab something to eat!"

Lin Shengxia looked at Gu Xingchen beside her! Gu Xingchen’s eyes softened, and he nodded, "Go ahead! Help yourself to anything you like! If you don’t like this environment, you can come find me!"

Hearing this, Lin Shengxia’s pretty face immediately lit up with a smile more radiant than a flower, "Okay!"

Ye Anxin squinted her eyes and sweetly smiled at Mu Beiting, "Uncle, I’m with Yueyue, you don’t have to worry about me, Yueyue will protect me! You and Mr. Gu, Mr. Huo can chat more!"

Mu Beiting frowned slightly, just about to refuse, when he heard Huo Junmo say, "Beiting, just let them go! They feel free together, let them be! When we’re together, we inevitably talk business, they find it boring to be with us!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting’s thin lips pressed into a line, and after a moment, he reluctantly nodded.

"Thank you, uncle, I’m leaving then!" Seeing Mu Beiting agree, Ye Anxin smiled happily, then walked to the buffet area with Ling Yueyue, Lin Shengxia, and Xia Yunmo.

When the four of them reached the buffet area, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but glance at where the men were standing, seeing them seemingly discussing something, she pursed her lips and said, "Being with them is so boring, it’s always business or business! Every time I’m out with my Mr. Huo, I get so bored, I doze off!" Saying this, she picked up a plate and a tong and started serving herself with food she liked.

Xia Yunmo smiled indifferently, "Men being like that together is normal!"

At this moment, Lin Shengxia came over with a plate and tongs, serving herself food while softly asking, "Mr. Yan’s brother and sister-in-law are so fierce! Mr. Yan has done so much for the family, not only do they not appreciate it, they speak like that, even wanting to hit Chuxia! Chuxia is just a three-year-old child, how could they bring themselves to do that?"

Ling Yueyue, eating fruit with a toothpick, whispered, "Yan Qinghan indeed has done a lot for the family! But to the Yan family, Yan Qinghan is just someone who took their stuff! Ask yourself, who would appreciate someone who takes what’s theirs! Without Yan Qinghan, the Yan Country Group would certainly be theirs!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Lin Shengxia lowered her voice, puzzled, "Mr. Yan’s brother and sister-in-law look at least twenty years older than him! How did Yan Country Group fall into Mr. Yan’s hands? By logic, it shouldn’t have reached him!"

Ling Yueyue didn’t answer, but asked in return, "I guess you haven’t met the old man of the Yan Family, right?"

Lin Shengxia murmured softly, "I have met him! But it was a long time ago!"

Ye Anxin and Ling Yueyue both asked puzzled, "You’ve met him? When?"
