Yan Yao gently nodded, "I t him."
Yan Qianyi then asked, "Didn’t he say anything?"
"No words were exchanged."
Yan Qianyi expressed her confusion, "Strange, he’s such a status-seeker. How could he not try to ingratiate himself with you now? He used to co and butter up for the sake of Yan’s, only recently did he stop. Brother, you are a prince now; how could he afford to give up such a good connection?"
Yan Yao’s smile faded a bit, "We are still not the sa."
Yan Qianyi paused.
Indeed, she and her brother were not the sa.
For Yan Hong, she was, after all, his biological daughter, but her brother was not.
Her brother’s words indicated that he was aware of his own identity.
"Qianyi, you guys chat first. Yun Mu and Xiaoguang have arrived; I’m going down to accompany them," Yan Chuhua finished speaking and gave the makeup artist a look.
Just as she stepped out, she ran into Yun Mu and Xue Xiaoguang coming upstairs.
Since they couldn’t be groomsn, they acted as Yan Qianyi’s "family mbers" to send her off for the wedding.
Yun Mu’s gaze fixed on Yan Chuhua and suddenly, he couldn’t look away.
The light blue bridesmaid dress made Yan Chuhua’s skin as white as snow.
Combined with her black short hair and sapphire-blue eyes, she looked like a forest sprite.
Graceful and ethereal, as if untouched by worldly dust.
"Chu Hua, you look really beautiful today!" Xue Xiaoguang exclaid admiringly and nudged the absent-minded Yun Mu with his elbow, asking, "Doesn’t she look like a little fairy?"
Yun Mu snapped out of his daze, his eyes darting away, "Well... kind of, a bit I suppose."
Xue Xiaoguang rolled his eyes, "What do you an ’kind of’? Can’t you speak properly? My Chu Hua is a little fairy!"
Yan Chuhua smiled happily, "Qianyi is actually the most beautiful today; she’ll take your breath away soon!"
"I’ll hurry up and check on my sister then." After saying this, Xue Xiaoguang tried to enter the room but was stopped by Yan Chuhua.
"Don’t go in there. Queen Andelle and Prince Yao are inside."
Xue Xiaoguang’s eyes widened slightly, "That explains the royal car at the door. It’s so grand! I’ve never t such eminent figures. Let in to greet them."
"What’s the hurry? You’ll et them later. Right now, the siblings are talking, it’s not appropriate for outsiders."
"I’m not an outsider, Qianyi is my sister."
"Give it a rest," Yan Chuhua gently pushed Xue Xiaoguang, "Co on, let’s go downstairs and wait."
No sooner had she finished her sentence, Yun Mu had turned and headed downstairs.
Yan Chuhua watched his retreating figure with a touch of sadness.
Xia Ziyu had told her that Yun Mu’s affection was not for Qianyi, but for her.
However, sotis she doubted whether Xia Ziyu’s words were true.
Because sotis Yun Mu was very cold toward her.
Take just now, for instance; Xue Xiaoguang spared no effort in praising her beauty, yet Yun Mu’s reaction was perfunctory.
Did he not find her beautiful?
Isn’t there a saying that beauty lies in the lover’s eyes?
If he truly had feelings for her, he should see her as the most beautiful girl in the world.
Just like she liked him and saw him as the most handso man in the world!
Even more handso than Teacher Mu!
"Chu Hua, what are you spacing out for? Let’s go."
Xue Xiaoguang’s voice interrupted Yan Chuhua’s thoughts.
Yan Chuhua nodded and followed him downstairs.
Inside the house, after Yan Chuhua and the makeup artist had left, Yan Qianyi asked Yun Mu, "Brother, you just said we’re different, does that an you already knew?"
Yun Mu frowned slightly, "You knew too?"
"Yes," Yan Qianyi nodded, "Does sister-in-law know?"
Yan Yao said, "I told her a long ti ago."
"You two are speaking in so kind of code; I can’t understand a thing," Andelle said, confused, thinking to herself that their bond was indeed strong—they didn’t even need to explain their words to understand each other.
Yan Yao sighed, "We are talking about the fact that I am not Yan Hong’s biological son."
Andelle suddenly understood, "How did Qianyi find out?"
Yan Yao’s expression darkened slightly, and he also turned to look at Yan Qianyi, asking, "Did Yan Hong tell you?"
He had never told his sister because he didn’t want her to know.
He worried that if his sister knew they were half-siblings, she might be sad or might distance herself from him.
"I guessed it myself, then I did so investigating to confirm," Yan Qianyi said, "Brother, since you knew already, you should have told ."
Keeping it to himself must have been very painful for her brother.
Yan Yao didn’t speak. After this topic was brought up, his brows stayed furrowed.
Andelle said, "Qianyi, your brother was afraid that you would be upset or distant from him, which is why he never told you."
"Brother, how could you think that? No matter who your biological father is, we are still siblings because we ca from the sa womb, and you will always be my dearest brother."
Hearing Yan Qianyi say this, the tension in Yan Yao’s brow finally eased, and he smiled with relief.
Yet Yan Qianyi pretended to be angry as she slightly scowled, "Were you hiding it from because you don’t see as your sister anymore?"
"How could that be?" Yan Yao quickly said, "I didn’t tell you because I was also worried you might bla Mom."
"Brother, I’m all grown up now, and I’m going to be a mom myself. I can perfectly understand why Mom insisted on keeping you back then. She really loved you. I’ve been reading her diaries and since you left the Yan Family, she ntioned missing you in her diary nearly every day."
ntioning their deceased mother, Yan Yao’s eyes suddenly welled up, "I was unfilial for not being by her side, and I didn’t even see her... in her final monts."
"Don’t say that, Mom wouldn’t bla you," Yan Qianyi said with sympathy.
She knew her brother always felt guilty for not being able to stay by her and Mom.
Yan Qianyi asked, "So... do you know who that man is?"
Yan Yao nodded, "He has recently contacted , wanting to recognize him."
Yan Qianyi quickly asked, "What do you think?"
If her brother recognized Ning Xiuzhuo as his father, wouldn’t that an acknowledging Ning Nuan as his sister?
Having the sa brother as Ning Nuan was truly uncomfortable for her.
Yan Yao paused before speaking, "I don’t know yet, we’ll see."
"Enough, today is a joyous day; we should talk about happy things," Andelle changed the subject, "Co on, before we leave, let’s take so photos together."
"Sure!" Yan Qianyi nodded.
She could tell her brother didn’t want to discuss this topic.
Though she felt awkward thinking about Ning Nuan also calling him ’brother’, she would support and bless her brother, regardless of his decision.
At this mont, Qu Yang and Yan Ruyi had also arrived outside the Yan Family’s ho.
Looking through the crowd of neighbors, Qu Yang saw the royal carriages and said, "It looks like Brother Yao has already arrived."
