It’s not a secret that Yan Anran likes Duan Yanghong, as anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

But Chen Nian didn't know that because Chen Nian liked Duan Yanghong since she was a child, she was openly attached to Duan Yanghong, but Yan Anran was different. She only dared to walk to Duan Yanghong shyly when Shen Nian was not present and shouted, "Brother Duan Yanghong."

She was so timid that she didn't even dare to confess to Duan Yanghong and express her feelings.

How could Chen Nian, a person who even Mei Xiaoyu could not even notice that she liked her, could she see such a secret girlish thoughts as Yan Anran?

"It doesn't matter if you like it or don't like it anymore. What's important is that the person Duan Yanghong likes is Si Jin. They are married now and have their future life to live. As for Yan Anran, she cannot be obsessed with the past and must look forward hard, so you don't have to worry about this issue."

Gu Jin did not answer his daughter's question, but just sighed.

"It was only recently that I realized that An Ran is likely to like Brother Duan Yanghong, because since he married Sijin in Beijing, An Ran has been alienated from us and no longer appeared in front of us.

She is really stupid, why don’t she say it if she likes it? It can be fairly competitive. Now that Duan Yanghong has married Sijin, it’s useless for her to be secretly hurt. I really want to help her, but I don’t know what can I do.”

"When you went to the Yan family today, Aunt Xiaotong was at home?" Gu Jin asked.

"I'm not at home, Aunt Xiaotong and Uncle Yan are not here, and the nanny is out, and An Ran is the only one in the Yan family."

Gu Jin frowned and said, "Although An Ran is a shy child, he won't become what you said because Duan Yanghong married Sijin. It must be something or something happened in the middle. But it's not easy for me, an elder, to ask so much. Next time Xiaotong comes to our house, I will ask."

"Forget it, mom, it's not good for us younger generations to trouble you." Chen Nian thought about it and calmed down, "If I have time in the past few days, I will look for An Ran again. She has never missed Aunt Xiaotong since she was a child, and she is more fragile and sensitive. If you ask her, she might be shocked, or it may be that I felt wrong. She was under a lot of pressure recently, and it would be great after this confusion period."

"An Ran is a good child. I am just afraid that she will have a knot. If the knot can't be untied after a long time, it will be easy to go to a dead end. She has not come out for so long, so it is very likely that she has some grudges in her heart."

Gu Jin suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. Whenever Yan Anran's figure flashed in his heart, he felt a little uncomfortable, and his chest and mouth were simmering.

Mother and daughter are connected to each other, Chen Nian also felt this dull and oppressive feeling, "An Ran is my best friend. I really hope she can live a good life. When I left today, she told me that I wanted to wish me a good life. I felt so uncomfortable when I listened."

Gu Jin felt a little distressed when Chen Nian looked, and touched her hair, "It's not uncomfortable anymore. Mom and Dad took you to Sifang Hotel for lunch today. You can eat whatever you want, okay?"

"Mom, I don't want to go over for dinner, I don't have any appetite now." Chen Nian shook his head.

"So do you have anything you want to eat now? We'll bring it back to you when we come back?"

Chen Nian suddenly stood up, looked at the pedestrians who were freely coming and going from above and said, "Mom, I want to go out for a walk and relax. You don't have to worry about what I eat. Then I stop and see if I want to eat, I will eat it myself, and you will eat it yourself."

"Yes, there are people watching in the store now, but you, a girl, must pay attention to your safety and go early and come back soon."

Gu Jin nodded in agreement.

The weather outside was a bit cold. Gu Jin put a military coat on Chen Nian and also brought her a thick hat. He repeatedly told her to be careful and then let her go out.

Not long after the Lantern Festival, the streets were filled with lively atmosphere, especially on the current main street of Beijing, where traffic is crowded with people.

Looking at such a prosperous street scene, Chen Nian's depressed a lot of dissipation. Some people were selling wontons on the roadside, and the packages were very good. Chen Nian thought that his family loved to eat wontons for breakfast, so he walked to the mountain and wanted to buy a few pounds to go home.

Suddenly, a noise came from front of me. Someone rushed towards her and ran towards her like a run, and there were still people chasing her relentlessly.

Pedestrians on the street gave in one after another, and some were hit by the unsuccessful ones.

Chen Nian stood on the street, looking at the face of the fleeing man, with a little surprised face. When the man passed by, he suddenly grabbed his clothes from behind him, and then pulled them into a corner where no one noticed, "Don't make a sound, it's me."

Long Hongyu struggled for a moment, then stopped to see Chen Nian's face and looked at her in surprise.

Chen Nian took off his military coat and covered it with Long Hongyu, put his hat on his head to cover his face, and took him through the streets and alleys of Beijing.

The people chasing behind were still chasing them, and Chen Nian didn't hide. He pulled Long Hongyu's sleeve and walked to the front of the stall, and asked with a smile, "Silly Erlangzi, look, are this dumplings very good?"

Long Hongyu lowered his head guiltily and looked around.

Several people who came to chase Long Hongyu looked around, but did not notice that Long Hongyu, who was standing beside Chen Nian, was chasing him in another direction.

After everyone had gone away, Long Hongyu carefully took off Chen Nian's clothes and often let out a sigh of relief, "Niannian, thank you."

"Who are they? Why are they chasing you?" Chen Nian asked.

Long Hongyu fled back from abroad. Because he had no money, he slept in the cheapest rental house for a long time. The clothes he wore were a little torn and his hair was not washed for several days.

He looked at Chen Nian and answered truthfully, "I lost a lot of money in my family when I was gambling. My grandfather and my dad ordered me to stay at home. I fled back from abroad, but my card was frozen and I didn't have much money on me."

"Young Master Long, you will actually fall into such a field." Chen Nian raised his eyebrows.

A little embarrassed flashed across Long Hongyu's face, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have lost my fortune. Now I know my mistake is useless."

"Everyone has a time when they make mistakes. As long as you know the mistakes, you can correct them. There is still a chance to win back what you lost in the future." Chen Nian did not look down on Long Hongyu because of this, but instead comforted him.

After she said this, Long Hongyu felt embarrassed. He lowered his head and said, "Niannian, thank you for your work today. If there is something useful to me in the future, I will definitely help you, and I won't say a word."
