Chapter 47 — Family
"Jiran, I know how my little sister is, and I'm sure you do too. Since the two of you have decided to spend your lives together, you have to cherish each other and be understanding of each other. Even though she's never said it out loud, my sister actually admires our parents' marriage quite a bit. I hope that the two of you can also enjoy a happy life together."
Naturally, Su Yanmo cared about his sister's happiness more than anything else.
"Su Yanyi is a wonderful woman. I will take care of her to the best of my ability. Don't worry, Brother."
Her happiness… he couldn't promise that.
He didn't dare to, because he believed that happiness could only be attained by those in mutual love.
Obviously, he and Su Yanyi were still far from that; but even so, he wanted to do his best on accomplis.h.i.+ng everything he should do and could do for her. He refused to let Yanyi suffer any grievances, though that was easier said than done.
After all, she wasn't the type of person to let herself be wronged. In his mind, she had always been a strong woman who sat up so high in a lofty position that other people just couldn't help but surrender to her. Provoking her was equivalent to having a death wish.
When his thoughts reached this point, a faint smile appeared on Qin Jiran's face. It was a smile reserved for Su Yanyi, and Su Yanyi only.
Su Yanmo had been paying attention to Qin Jiran's expressions. When he saw the extremely gentle smile on the actor's face, Su Yanmo finally set down his worries.
Since he had confirmed this man's deep feelings for his sister, he could only hope that his sister would also realize her own feelings soon. He wasn't very sensitive to the feelings of others, but he understood his sister too well.
Very few people were capable of getting the attention of someone as cold and self-centered as her, and the ones who were capable of gaining her acknowledgment could be counted on one hand. It was as if she only had her family in her heart. Now, Qin Jiran had joined their ranks.
To Su Yanmo, her concern for Qin Jiran, as well as the ways she had changed, couldn't be more obvious. He just wasn't sure if his sister knew how much she cared about Qin Jiran.
The expression in Su Yanmo's eyes softened. Both men cared about the same woman, one due to familial love, and the other due to romantic love.
