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

Chapter 70 Flattered
He gave an awkward laugh, and to avoid making things worse, Yanxi decisively chose to keep quiet.

Yan Bei, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, met her still apologetic and nervous gaze, and unconsciously lowered his voice a few decibels, "Just like you said."

"alright."

The pain is felt by him as well as by the person in question. Since that's what the person in question said, Su Ning didn't dwell on it too much. She would naturally keep her word.

So what if I take responsibility? At worst, I'll just add some ingredients to his dish to help his injured ribs recover sooner!

After a drive of less than half an hour, Su Ning and Yan Bei registered at the entrance and arrived at the Yan family's building.

The three-story house had sunflowers planted in the yard, and July was the peak blooming season. The large, round yellow flowers held their heads high and swayed freely in the bright sunshine.

"My mom loves eating sunflower seeds, and my dad planted a whole patch of them for her back in February or March this year."

Seeing her looking at the sunflowers in the yard, Yanxi offered an explanation.

Unlike other families who at least grow fruit trees and some edible vegetables, their plants are rotated almost every year according to Ms. Xiang's preferences.

I remember one year, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, Ms. Xiang suddenly had the big devil fill the whole yard with mugwort!
They were used to it; even if a man-eating flower grew in the yard one day, given the Demon King's doting attitude towards his wife, it wouldn't be surprising at all.

Taking her hand, Yanxi led her into the house. What's so interesting about all those big yellow heads in the yard?

Later, she also asked her future childhood sweetheart to fill the whole yard with thorny roses, because those are really pretty.

"Come on, Ningning, let's go inside. Our family should be back by now!"

Yan Bei, who was following behind, stopped and looked at the golden sunflowers in the yard.

I remembered that Suning's family also planted many flowers, plants, and fruit trees, as well as vines that had already climbed all over the wall. She said that two kinds of flowers are especially beautiful when they bloom, especially when it rains and the wind blows.

I still remember the look on her face when she said those words.

Do you like pretty flowers?
No, it should be that poignant moment when flowers sway and fall in the wind and rain.

Are people who always smile actually sentimental deep down?
"Yan Xiaoqi, what are you daydreaming about? Come in here!"

"Well, here we come."

Unaware that he was being analyzed and dissected, Su Ning was immediately surrounded by scrutinizing gazes the moment he stepped into the Yan family's gate.

The Yan family members, who were sitting on the sofa eagerly waiting, all brightened up and stood up at the same time.

While smiling, Ms. Xiang subtly glanced around: "I hope there's nowhere I missed, east, south, and north. Everything's been cleaned up, right?"

"Ningning, let me introduce you. This is my grandparents, my parents, my older brother, and my second older brother."

"Grandpa Yan, Grandma Yan, Uncle and Aunt, Brother Yan, Second Brother Yan, I am Su Ning, a friend of Yanbei."

With a bright smile and a graceful demeanor, Su Ning greeted everyone as Yan Xi introduced her, then placed the fruit gift box she was carrying on the tea table.

"Oh my, what a beautiful girl!"

The elderly couple's wrinkles smoothed out, and they smiled with exceptional kindness. They couldn't help but like her polite and well-behaved appearance.

"Why bring a gift when you're here? Don't be so polite next time. Ningning, shall I call you that like Xiya?"

Seeing that she nodded with a sweet smile and seemed to be doing so without any reluctance, Old Master Yan continued to speak in a low, gentle voice.

"Ningning, you are Xiaoqi's savior, and we can never repay you enough. However, we old folks don't know what you young people like, so we hope you won't find these little trinkets we prepared for you distasteful."

Grandma Yan, who nodded with a smile, was a great beauty in her youth, though her hair was now completely white. Her beautiful eyes and brows still revealed that she was a great beauty in her youth.

Like a fine wine that only gets better with age, the passage of time only makes her more mellow and gives her a unique charm.

If my grandmother were still alive, she would be the same as her, right?

With these thoughts in mind, Su Ning couldn't help but smile even sweeter at the old man she had felt a fondness for at first sight.

It wasn't until she took out a bright green bracelet from the small box in her hand and was about to put it on her wrist that she suddenly woke up and repeatedly refused.

Can a royal green jadeite bangle that can be passed down through generations be considered a trinket?

"No, this is too precious, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan, I can't accept it!"

"Why can't we accept it? Is this thing more valuable than my little Qi's life? Besides, one cannot refuse a gift from an elder!" While she was refusing with the old man, she successfully grabbed her hand and slipped the bracelet on. Old Mrs. Yan glanced at her equally excited daughter-in-law with great joy: This is settled!

Ms. Xiang, who secretly gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up: Now that the family heirloom is on, her daughter-in-law can't escape now, right?
"Ningning, just listen to the two elders. Beibei's life is much more precious than these material possessions."

The men of the Yan family are all romantics; going back several generations, there have only been those who doted on their wives, and there has never been a heartless or ungrateful one.

Once you're moved, it's for a lifetime.

That's why they were so excited when they learned that their youngest son had other ideas; it means that Yanbei has also found someone he's committed to for life.

It's not that she's badmouthing her own son, but a girl who's both incredibly smart and beautiful finally finds someone she likes, and if she lets him go, then she deserves to be single forever!

With a flurry of thoughts running through her mind, Xiang Mingyu followed her to her side without delay. "This is a gift from your aunt, Ningning, please accept it."

"Nice to meet you. I hope you like this small gift, Suning."

"This is from my second brother. I'm not very good at picking things that you ladies like, so please forgive me!"

"Me too, me too! Ningning, this was prepared by Sister Yan, you must accept it, you can't refuse!"

"I…"

Before she could even utter a word of refusal, the Yan family members swiftly stuffed them all into her arms and then quickly jumped away.

Yes, bounce!

The kind of situation where they don't give you any response, and you can't even grab their clothes if you try!
Suning was left speechless, both amused and exasperated. Then she realized she had plenty of good stuff herself, and it would be better to exchange it for a gift of roughly the same value when she left than to argue and refuse them.

After thinking it through, she no longer refused the kindness of the Yan family. "Thank you, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan, thank you for the gifts, I like them very much."

"Ah, that's right~ Hahaha, this girl is so generous and straightforward, just like the old man's temperament!"

"Cough cough~"

"cough!"

Several coughs rang out. Suddenly remembering what they had said before the people arrived, the overjoyed old man Yan felt a little embarrassed: Oh no, will his loud voice scare them?
As if sensing his embarrassment, Su Ning's smile remained unchanged. "Grandpa Yan's forthright personality is exactly like my old man's."

"Oh? That's great! Where's your grandpa? We should get to know each other sometime. As you said, we two old buddies are sure to get along!"

"Hehe, Grandpa Fu is in Beijing, and I think you two would definitely get along well."

"Beijing... don't worry, that day will come eventually! Hahahaha~"

At this moment, Old Master Yan was completely unaware that his hint would soon become a double entendre.

The smile deep in his eyes faded slightly, replaced by a hint of melancholy.

She lowered her head and glanced at the bracelet on her wrist. The moment Grandma Yan touched her hand, she unsurprisingly foresaw the future of the Yan family.

"Ningning, are you hungry? The food has been on the table for a while now, we've been waiting for you. Why don't we have dinner first?"

Yanbei, who was keeping a close eye on her, noticed the change in her mood immediately. Fearing that she couldn't handle the enthusiasm of her family, he gave Ms. Xiang a look.

Ms. Xiang nodded knowingly and subtly interjected into their conversation, "Dad, what do you think? The food will get cold soon."

"Yes, yes, I'm getting senile. Let's go eat!"

"Ningning is from Beijing, and now she's in southern Hunan. She probably hasn't tried authentic Shanghai cuisine yet, has she? Sister-in-law Quan specially prepared a big table of our local specialties. You must eat more today!"

Suning, who had just had a huge feast with Xiaoquanyuan in her social media space before coming here and was stuffed to the brim: ...

Put aside your inner thoughts and face the problem she's facing.

As expected, as soon as she sat down at the table, the enthusiastic Yan family members picked up their chopsticks and started serving her food, piling it up until her bowl was overflowing and she still looked like she hadn't had enough.

The second person to receive such care was transferred to Yanbei.

The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly, each burying themselves in their work under immense pressure.
