Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 197 Announcement
"Jia Dan..."

Ma Xiuzhen was naturally excited and happy that her husband was able to recover, but she was not so happy that she neglected her eldest son. She kept a close eye on him, and thus she did not miss the dimness and bitterness that flashed quickly across her eyes.

The wounds on his body had scabbed over, but besides leaving glaring scars, they also caused him many aftereffects.

They cannot lift anything with their hands, not even hold chopsticks; they can only eat with a wooden spoon.

His feet could no longer support his body weight, and although he could move with difficulty, that was all.

Whenever the weather changes, the injured muscles and bones feel as if they are being bitten by a thousand insects.

All of these things are gradually eroding the last remaining glimmer of light in Fu Jiadan's heart, a light he is desperately clinging to.

"Mom, I'm fine."

Forcing a smile, Ma Xiuzhen nodded without arguing.

The pain is felt in the mother's heart as well as in the child's body; the mother's pain is always greater than the child's.

Ma Xiuzhen knew her son's pride and didn't want to offer any empty self-comfort. She simply held his limp, upright hand, hoping to give him more warmth and encouragement.

"Mom, something really great is happening to me today."

Returning a warm smile to her mother, not wanting to see her upset because of her anymore, Fu Jiadan tried to distract her.

Sure enough, it wasn't just her; everyone who was talking but secretly watching him stopped talking as if their interest had been piqued.

"Oh? What's the good news?"

"The thing about Ningning coming back?"

Looking at the elders present, Fu Jiadan said meaningfully, "Everyone can keep an eye on things later."

What do you mean?
What is the connection between careful observation and great things? Whom should we observe?
The only three absent were Fu Jiaming, Yan Bei, and Suning.

If Fu Jiaming really had something great going on, he would have announced it to everyone by now, so that leaves Yanbei Suning as the only remaining option.

These two... could it be... something great? Could it be...?

They were all human sperm, and after a brief thought, they immediately grasped the key point and turned the tables.

Yan Changrong and Zhao Panpan were overjoyed: If this were true, even if he was criticized, he would still have to have a few drinks with the charming ancestors underground!

"Jia Dan, what you're saying is..."

"Dinner's ready! Time to eat, Master Yan... Heh~"

Fu Jiaming, who rushed in to call for dinner, was met with a pair of oppressive eyes before he could even open his mouth, which almost scared him to his knees.

No...no, did he do something so serious that it would warrant family discipline?
"Ahem, Grandpa Yan, let's go eat. You can decide what to do then."

Unable to bear looking at her silly younger brother's foolish appearance, Fu Jiadan spoke up to defuse the situation.

Because of his prior warning, after he entered the kitchen and sat down at the octagonal table, everyone's eyes turned to Su Ning and Yan Bei.

They were all experienced people, and since they weren't trying to hide anything, anyone with eyes could see through it.

Overjoyed, Yan Changrong's mustache twitched upwards. "Xiao Qi, is there something you and Ningning want to tell us?"

Why is this old man being so direct in front of so many people? He's practically asking a question outright!
Don't these young girls have any pride?

Zhao Panpan stomped hard on someone's foot under the table, not even looking at the old face that scrunched up in pain, and smiled with utmost kindness and warmth.

He took the soft, boneless hand of the girl sitting to his right and asked, "Ning, is it what we think?"

Her face turned bright red from the two elderly people's questions. Although she was extremely embarrassed, Su Ning's smile did not diminish, and she nodded generously in acknowledgment.

The people present were all relatives and friends, and the change in their relationship was not something shameful to them, so she naturally did not hide it.

I can't offer him marriage right now, but I can definitely acknowledge his status as my partner, and he's not such a complete jerk.

Now that things had come to this point, and everyone had already figured it out, Yan Bei simply stopped remaining silent, walked around his grandparents a few steps, and came to her side.

A hint of shyness lingered in her eyes, but more than that, she couldn't contain her excitement and joy. "Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle Fu, Aunt Ma, and Brother Fu, Ningning and I are dating!"

"well!"

"congratulations!"

"Good job, you did a great job!"

Despite having some suspicions, hearing the good news in person still made everyone happy for the couple.

They were a perfect match, a match made in heaven, and they finally got married. It was truly a wonderful thing.

"That's wonderful! Ning girl is finally a member of our Yan family! Hahaha, I'm so happy I could wake up laughing in my dreams tonight!"

"Ningning, if that brat Xiaoqi ever dares to bully you or do anything to wrong you, just come to Grandma. You won't even have to lift a finger; Grandma will teach him a lesson for you!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Ning girl, our whole family stands with you, whether you're right or wrong!" Well... it's not that bad.

Would I be so unreasonable?
What could Su Ning do but smile and nod obediently in agreement?

The meal was like a New Year's celebration. Yan Changrong did as he had planned, even risking the wind to drink a few cups with the old ancestor below.

Fortunately, the Su family's home was located in a remote area. When the weather turned cold, everyone stayed at home to keep warm by the fire, and it was even less likely that they would come here. This allowed them, who were trapped in prison, to have this moment of peace, comfort, and rare warmth and happiness.

……

Fine raindrops began to fall from the night sky, gradually turning into snowflakes that pattered against the bricks and tiles, soon accumulating a thin layer of white.

The cold wind howled, carrying away the warmth from the fire, and the dough felt like it was being scraped by a knife.

"Ningning, don't see me off. It's too cold. Go back quickly and don't catch a cold."

"Yes, it's just a few steps, there's no need to escort her. Hurry back, the young lady can't stay cold."

At the small gate in the backyard, Yan Changrong and Zhao Panpan looked at Su Ning, who insisted on coming to take them back. They felt both comforted and sorry for her.

"The ground is too slippery with snow, so Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan, let me take you there instead."

She could also shine a flashlight for them, otherwise Yanbei would have no extra hands to help both elderly people at the same time.

"Let's go, Grandpa and Grandma. I'll bring Ningning back later."

Since both of them said so, Yan Changrong and Zhao Panpan couldn't very well stubbornly endure the cold in the snowy night, so they didn't object anymore and instead quickened their pace in tacit agreement.

When they got back to the dilapidated house, they didn't even bother to dig up the fire that had been covered by ash and dirt. They told their grandson to hurry up and take the person back.

They exchanged a smile, and without saying anything more, they obediently turned around.

The snowflakes seemed to be enveloped in a shimmering light in the beam of the flashlight, fluttering down in a beautiful display.

"Ning Ning."

"Well, what happened?"

"I feel like I'm dreaming."

There was a sense of unreality to it all. Yan Bei stopped and reached out to brush the snowflakes from her shoulders and hair. His eyes, illuminated by the flashlight, were incredibly gentle at that moment.

"Do you need my help?"

"Like pinching you hard?"

"Heh~"

Seeing her playfully pinching and twisting her two fingers, Yan Bei chuckled, "Are you sure you're not just looking for an opportunity to teach me a lesson?"

"People who are too smart are probably not very likable."

"Oh?"

With a furrowed brow and deep thought, Yan Bei leaned closer and said, "In that case, I'd like to trouble you, my partner, to help me clear my head."

"you are welcome."

She tilted her head slightly and looked at him so close, his eyes, filled with a doting smile, seemed to be filled with stars.

He was joking when his fingertips touched Su Ning's cheek, and in an instant Su Ning seemed to be bewitched.

When he came to his senses, her fingertips were still stroking his chin, while her lips were reflected on his cheek.

Like fireworks soaring into the sky and exploding rapidly, each one dazzlingly beautiful and breathtaking.

Boom~
Without even thinking, Su Ning jumped up and tried to run away, but Yan Bei, who reacted quickly, grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into his arms.

Covering her face, which was burning hot, the whimper that reached her lips sounded scalding: It's over, it's over, all my wisdom is ruined!
"Heh~"

His lips were close to her ear as he lowered his head, and his soft laughter, accompanied by his warm breath, sent a shiver down Su Ning's spine. She unconsciously flinched away from the tingling, itchy sensation.

"What should I do, Ningning? I feel even more unreal now."

"..."

"Do you want to help me again? Wake up, okay?"

"..."

Is this the usually aloof and noble Yanbei who speaks in such a flirtatious manner?
Su Ning's lips trembled slightly as she wrapped her arms around him, feeling the pounding of his heart against her back. She nodded calmly, "Okay."

Just as his face was filled with joyful surprise, the person who had already turned around delivered a vicious blow without hesitation.

"hiss--"
