The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

"Silly boy, you scared Yan Yi!" I said angrily.

"Hehe, just kidding... Yan Yi, actually we want you to do us a favor." Xu Lehan said seriously again.

Jiang Yanyi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange emotion flashed in her eyes as she looked at me.

"What's wrong?"

I began, "Yan Yi, you and Yao Yao are quite close. I'd like to ask you for a favor, it's just..."

Before I could finish speaking, Jiang Yan said, "I know what Brother Hua wants me to help with... He wants me to act as a go-between, right?"

"Yes, that's roughly the idea. I have absolutely no idea what Yao Yao is thinking right now, and I hope you can help me find out and tell me..."

Is that all?

"And another thing, the three of us are currently working on the amusement park project. Xin Ning and I have joined now. Yan Yi, could you help persuade Luo Yao to join as well? That way, the boss won't have to be so conflicted and troubled."

Jiang Yanyi understood perfectly what Xu Lehan meant by the amusement park plan.

"So Sister Lehan and Sister Xinning are already with Brother Hua..."

Xu Lehan and Xin Ning both nodded.

"Yan Yi, can you help me out?" I looked at Jiang Yan Yi sincerely.

I originally thought Jiang Yanyi would agree to my request unconditionally, but she seemed to hesitate and lowered her head without responding to me for a long time.

"Sister Yan Yi?" Xin Ning asked, taking Jiang Yan Yi's hand.

Jiang Yanyi then raised her head and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Hua, I probably can't help you. Although Sister Yaoyao and I are indeed very close, she has strong principles in these matters, and I can't persuade her... So, Brother Hua, please think of another way..."

Jiang Yan avoided my gaze, as if she felt guilty.

I was also very surprised that Jiang Yanyi would refuse so thoroughly; it was completely beyond my expectations.

"Yan Yi, why don't you give it a try when the time is right?"

But Jiang Yanyi still shook her head, looking unwilling.

I was clearly disappointed, but I couldn't blame her, so I forced a smile and said, "Well, this kind of thing should have been my business, and I shouldn't have bothered you... After all, this kind of thing is still too strange."

"Brother Hua... I, I..."

"Hmm?" I looked at her again with hope.

"I'm so sorry, Brother Hua. You've helped me so much, and I'm not an ungrateful person. I'll always help with anything, but this is the one thing I really can't do... I'm so sorry..."

"Why can't Yan Yi help with this?" I really don't understand.

"Brother Hua, please don't ask this, okay? I'm begging you..." Jiang Yan buried her head in her knees, not wanting to face the three of us.

"Brother, you can go out first. My sister and I will stay and talk to Yan Yi." Xin Ning said as if she understood something.

Xu Lehan and I were both puzzled.

"Brother, you go out first..." Xin Ning got up, pushed me out of the room, and closed the door.

Then I had no idea what the three of them were whispering to each other inside...

(Guess why Yan Yi disagreed? It's the end of the month, so please give me all your monthly votes, they'll expire soon~)

There were only three people left in the room. Xu Lehan looked at her younger sister Xin Ning with confusion, not understanding why the eldest sister had to go out. Xin Ning looked at Jiang Yan Yi, and she could roughly guess why Jiang Yan Yi refused to help. In fact, she had long sensed that the feelings between Jiang Yan Yi and her disciple were not simple, but she was not quite sure. Jiang Yan Yi looked at the bed and remained silent.

Jiang Yanyi certainly wanted to help her apprentices, but she also wanted to gain something from the process, such as joining them...

"Yan Yi, now that my brother has gone out, tell me your terms. How can you help my brother?" Xin Ning spoke first, getting straight to the point.

Jiang Yan's expression softened slightly, and she stammered, "Well, it's not a condition. My relationship with Brother Hua is so good, I wouldn't be so formal..."

“That’s right, Xiao Yan is our little cutie, how could she make demands? So Xiao Yan, help the boss, it’s like helping the older sisters too.” Xu Lehan moved a little closer, and when the boss wasn’t around, she hugged Xiao Yan and rubbed her cheek against her head.

Jiang Yanyi was clearly not paying attention to Xu Lehan's actions. She hesitated about how to start the conversation, but she didn't want to use Xu Lehan's request as a bargaining chip. That would make her seem selfish, since all the older sisters were unconditionally helping Hua-gege... But she really didn't want to miss this opportunity. Happiness is something you have to work hard for.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yan finally spoke, "I don't have any conditions. I just want to ask you to do me a favor, consider it my request. If you can help me with this, I will do my best to help Hua-gege and you... But no matter whether you agree or not, please don't tell Hua-gege about this, okay? Otherwise, he will definitely think that he doesn't want to be with Yan-yi anymore..."

Just as Xin Ning had thought, Xin Ning smiled and, holding Jiang Yan Yi's hand, said, "Go ahead and say it, Yan Yi."

Under the watchful eyes of her two older sisters, Jiang Yanyi finally revealed this secret that she had never told anyone before, or at least that was a secret in her eyes.

“I like Brother Hua…I want to be with him…” Jiang Yan’s cheeks turned red, the light pink spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears. And this was without her Brother Hua being present. If she were to say it to his face, she probably would have to crawl into bed to have the courage.

Upon hearing Jiang Yanyi's words, Xin Ning and Xu Lehan reacted differently. The former had already anticipated it and remained calm, while the latter, Xu Lehan, was taken aback and exclaimed after a long pause, "Within this country, Yanyi-chan... ah no, I should say within this country, the boss-chan!"

Xu Lehan felt that her boss was even more admirable, as he had unknowingly won over Xiao Yanyi as well. However, in the eyes of Xu Lehan, who often wrote novels and had wildly imaginative ideas, this was not a surprising thing. She had even written about May-December romances. Now that Jiang Yanyi was almost an adult, shouldn't she have the right to like someone?

Of course, if Tu Sheng knew this, he would definitely add: "On the premise that it doesn't affect your studies."

"Sister Xin Ning, Sister Le Han..." Jiang Yan felt a little apprehensive when she saw that neither of them gave a clear answer. She wondered if she had upset them. After all, saying that would be tantamount to revealing her status as a love rival. Having another love rival meant having to share the limited amount of love with more people.

"I will stay obediently by Hua-gege's side just like you two, and I won't compete with you. I just want to have a place in Hua-gege's heart. I promise I will listen to my sisters. So I want to ask you two sisters to help me. Otherwise, Hua-gege will never notice or accept me, because I'm afraid he'll ignore me..."

Jiang Yan wished she had been born two years earlier, so she would be about the same age as Xin Ning and could openly seduce Hua Gege... It's all Dad's fault; if he hadn't been so shy back then, Mom would have given birth to her long ago...

While remaining silent, Xin Ning was actually thinking things through and analyzing whether Tu Sheng and Jiang Yanyi were suitable to be together at this stage.

"Yan Yi, don't worry. I can promise you. I had a crush on Tu Sheng when I was your age, or even much earlier. So I understand how you feel about liking someone silently but not being able to express it. It is because I understand that I will not let you down and will definitely help you."

Although Xin Ning had used a lot of scheming to be with Tu Sheng, she was kind at heart. Now that she had gotten what she wanted, she was able to accept Jiang Yan Yi with great tolerance and generosity.

Seeing Xin Ning's stance, Xu Lehan hugged Jiang Yan tightly and echoed, "Great! From now on, we're not just friends, we're sisters! Long live the Paradise Project!"

Upon seeing their agreement, Jiang Yan's expression brightened with joy, and she asked incredulously, "Sister Xin Ning and Sister Le Han, will you really help me?"

Xin Ning and Xu Lehan both nodded. Xu Lehan was the happiest, as she liked it to be lively with lots of people, especially at night.

Jiang Yan was so excited that she could hardly contain herself. With the help of her two older sisters, she was able to be with Brother Hua smoothly. Otherwise, not only would Brother Hua treat her like a younger sister, but Sister Yao Yao would also be unable to accept that her sister had fallen in love with her man. At that time, she would really be isolated and helpless. She didn't want that to happen, so she wanted to take this opportunity to find someone to rely on.

It was this feeling of having played a trick on her that made her feel extremely guilty, and she couldn't shake off the urge to apologize.

"But Yan Yi, there's something I need to make clear to you..."

"Sister Xinning, what's wrong?" Jiang Yan suddenly became nervous again.

Xin Ning comforted Jiang Yan Yi's hand and said, "Yan Yi, don't be nervous, it's not a big deal... It's just that I hope you can restrain your restlessness when you're intimate with Tu Sheng. You're going through puberty just like us, and you'll definitely want to get close to the person you like, just like us. But considering that if you do this now, Tu Sheng might not be able to accept it or might even distance himself from you, so you must control yourself and not do anything too intimate..."

Jiang Yanyi understood this principle, but when she saw Bi Antong and the others being affectionate with Tu Sheng, she felt quite jealous. She also wanted to be held in the arms of someone she liked and snuggled up to like that...

"Then, is it just a simple kiss?" Jiang Yan asked, blushing as she clutched the corner of the blanket.

"I think it's okay..."

But Xin Ning disagreed with Xu Lehan, saying, "I think it's best to avoid it. In two years, when you're an adult, I believe your brother won't have any reason to stop you from doing whatever you want. If he still disagrees then, we'll restrain him and let you do whatever you want with him, Yan Yi. We'll absolutely support whatever you want to do to your brother... But Yan Yi, don't worry. Although it's inconvenient to be intimate with your brother in these two years, you can make him take the initiative to be intimate with you..."

"Yes, thank you both, sisters~"

Jiang Yan initially looked forward to two years later. During these two years, she was determined to work hard as a trainee and increase her charm so that she would have more to offer in two years to captivate Hua Gege. At that time, she wouldn't even need to take the initiative; Hua Gege would be unable to resist throwing himself at her...

Chapter 89, page 595: The Taste of Happiness

"What are you all secretly discussing inside..." I saw the three women getting along very well and walked out of the room together, stopping my work.

"Hehe, we're doing some ideological work with Xiaoyan."

"You two wouldn't be ganging up on Yan Yi, would you?"

"Brother Hua, you've misunderstood. My two older sisters didn't bully me..."

At this moment, Xin Ning chimed in, "Yan Yi, if you have anything to say, tell your brother now."

As she spoke, Xin Ning gently pushed Jiang Yan away, and Jiang Yan immediately stood in front of me. She looked a little awkward and stammered, "Brother Hua, I'm sorry... I was wrong just now. I've thought it through now, and I will definitely do my best to help Brother Hua."

I was immediately overjoyed and said, "That's wonderful, thank you Yan Yi."

"Hmm...it's what Yan Yi should do..."

I don't know why Jiang Yanyi suddenly changed her mind. Maybe it was because of Xin Ning and Le Han's persuasion. I don't know if they promised Jiang Yanyi anything, but I believe Xin Ning is a sensible person and would definitely not do anything to harm me, so I didn't think too much about it.

"Boss, aren't you going to do something for us?"

I looked at Xu Lehan, puzzled.

"It's just a reward for Xiaoyan. Unlike us and Xinning, she helped you for free."

"What reward do you want, Yan Yi?" I looked at Jiang Yan Yi standing in front of me. She stood gracefully with her hands behind her back and her head slightly lowered.

“Anything is fine…” Jiang Yan said softly.

"Is anything alright...?"

As I was thinking, Xin Ning suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Brother, can you hug Yan Yi? It doesn't have to be complicated, right, Yan Yi?"

Yan nodded repeatedly.

This made me a little embarrassed, and I felt like I had to hug Yeon-il in front of them... Their behavior was so strange that I kept getting the feeling they were plotting something...

"Are you three hiding something from me...?" I asked suspiciously.

"Boss, how could you think of us like that! We're all loyal to you, our goal is to expand your fleet and conquer the stars!"

"That's right, brother, what's wrong with giving Xiaoyan a hug..."

I looked at Jiang Yanyi again, and she was looking at me expectantly.

Hugging Jiang Yanyi is fine; I've hugged her more or less before. I'm just wondering why the two sisters started encouraging me to hug Yanyi...

I reached out and gently pulled the cute and petite Xiao Yanyi into my arms. Her head barely reached the middle of my neck, so it was especially comfortable to hold her from the front. It wouldn't be accurate to describe it as holding a rag doll, because a rag doll can't compare to the living Jiang Yanyi. I could feel her cheek gently brushing against my neck, and I could smell the faint fragrance of her hair. Given time, a girl like this would surely make a lot of boys dream about her. Who will be the lucky one?

Since Xin Ning and Le Han were watching, although I was reluctant to let go of this soft, delicate body in my arms, it would be inappropriate to hold her for too long, so I slowly let go of her.
