After the Fake Young Lady Stole Everything from Me, I Became the World’s Sweetheart-Chapter 40

Chapter Forty: Airport Pickup

The puppy barked at him.

Ye Kun put it down on the ground. “I’ll take that as an agreement. From now on, you’re my son. As long as you help Daddy get together with that lady, Daddy will give you the best and most expensive dog food in the world!”

The puppy sniffed as it walked around the new territory, exploring its new home.

Liang Han called and asked, “Hey, did you get a chance to meet her?”

Ye Kun proudly answered, “The heavens smiled on me! I bumped into her as soon as I got out of the car. Hehe, things are off to a good start, bro!”

Liang Han was also very happy at the news, “When you have made some progress, you must introduce her to us. I can only find my talented director through her!”

Ye Kun didn’t reject his buddy’s help. As for Liang Han’s request, it would depend on the situation.

…

At the airport, Yun Nan looked toward the exit as she stood nervously beside Shi Nian with a bouquet in her hands.

Shi Nian turned his head to look at her and coughed lightly into his fist before saying, “When Grandpa comes out, you have to hold my hand. He’ll be happy if he sees we have an intimate relationship.”

“Alright,” Yun Nan readily accepted his advice. She held the flowers in one hand and Shi Nian’s arm in the other.

Chang Yuan—who was standing behind the two of them—felt that his boss was smiling even at the buttons of his suit today. His boss had never welcomed anyone in the Shi family home in such a happy mood. This meant that what mattered wasn’t who was coming back but who was standing beside him.

Chang Yuan and the Shi brothers grew up together, so he naturally knew that the Shi family produced loyal and passionate men; once they gave their hearts, they didn’t wander. The Shi brothers had been consciously reminded from a young age not to be bewitched by beauty. However, the Shi family’s eldest son had already fallen and, from the looks of it, the other son—the person before him—wasn’t far from falling either.

Chang Yuan stood tall, ready to watch the couple put on a show.

“Assistant Chang!” A voice filled with delighted surprise called from behind him. Chang Yuan turned around and saw the Yun family rushing over.

A few steps away, Shi Nian and Yun Nan also turned around. Shi Nian and Chang Yuan simultaneously frowned and glanced at each other, their gazes conveying confusion at the Yun family’s presence. Chang Yuan’s expression darkened; it seemed he wasn’t strict enough with his subordinates. ‘

Someone actually dared to leak the boss’s itinerary!

‘

“Mr. Yun,” Chang Yuan gave him a very standard greeting. However, the Yun family’s attention was focused on more important targets, so they ignored Chang Yuan. Instead, they surrounded Shi Nian and Yun Nan in unison.

“We made it in time, sis,” Yun Liu greeted Yun Nan affectionately as if they were a pair of inseparable sisters. Before Yun Nan could respond, Yun Liu’s eyes fixed on Shi Nian. “Hello, Shi Nian,” she called him so softly and sweetly that Yun Nan’s arms broke out in goosebumps.

Yun Nan wanted to pull her hand from Shi Nian’s arm, but Shi Nian pressed his arm down with his strength to stop her from moving. His other hand covered hers as he nodded at the Yun family and gave them a simple “hello.”

He didn’t even spare Yun Liu a single look. Yun Zhang’s heart sank.

Gu Wei glanced at Yun Nan before warmly saying to Shi Nian, “It is fortunate that Yun Nan told us Old Master Shi will be back today. Otherwise, we won’t have known about the news. We’re supposed to come pick him up. It would be rude of us if we missed him!”

Shi Nian frowned and glanced at Yun Nan. Yun Nan looked at Gu Wei’s fervent gaze and Yun Liu’s shy expression as she stood beside her and came to a conclusion. Yun Liu had somehow found out Shi Nian’s schedule on her own and was now clearly framing Yun Nan.

Yun Nan refused to take the blame, so she informed Shi Nian, “It wasn’t me. I didn’t tell them anything.”

“Oh?” Yun Liu appeared surprised as she exclaimed, “But Yun Nan, didn’t you have your assistant call me and ask us to hurry to the airport to welcome Grandpa Shi?”

She didn’t give Yun Nan a chance to respond before she smiled and said, “Mom and Dad even praised you for being sensible and mindful of our family’s manners.”

Yun Xiang—who was standing at the side—also seemed to want to ease his relationship with Yun Nan. He calmly said, “That’s right. When Old Master Shi comes over later, you should stand beside your mother. Look at you, clinging to Shi Nian; it’s highly improper!”

Gu Wei had long been displeased by the sight of the two holding hands, so when she heard Yun Xiang’s reprimand, she hurriedly agreed, “Exactly. Yun Nan, come over here now! Come and stand here! Shi Nian’s grandfather values discipline and etiquette the most. The way you’re behaving is outrageous!”

Yun Liu looked at Yun Nan with eyes filled with gloating malice. She wished she could turn into a bolt of lightning and split their hands apart!
