Yun Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Nie Yi is eight years older than my sister. Every time I think about it, it feels like a thorn in my throat. And that Old Man still wants to eat swan meat."
"Even if he doesn't meet all my requirements, the limit can't exceed a certain age. It's just an old cow eating tender grass; it's so annoying."
Old Man Lu Chuan and Old Man Jian Qinzhi exchanged glances.
Ji Yan laughed wildly, leaving Yun Xiaoxiao in a daze. "Jiji Uncle, your sense of humor is so low!"
"Stop laughing! Don't you know a lot of people? Introduce me to some potential matches, preferably someone with a strong background who can influence elections."
Lu Chuan's gaze turned cold as he fixed his eyes on Yun Xiaoxiao.
Ji Yan restrained his laughter and said with a slight glint in his peach blossom eyes, "What are you trying to do?"
Yun Xiaoxiao shrugged. "I'm helping Yun Zhi Yue. Have you noticed? She says she doesn't like Nie Yi, but all her songs are about him."
Perhaps it was the budding love that was shattered by her own hands; it was too deeply etched in her heart. Even if Nie Yi didn't cling to her, I doubt she has the courage to like someone else again.
"This is a tumor that must be excised. The bleeding will only be temporary; if it continues, it will affect her for a lifetime."
Nie Yi had already been ruined. I sympathized with him, but that wasn't a reason to hurt my sister. The biggest problem was the person behind him.
I've been thinking a lot lately. I can't just watch my sister get bullied; I need to find a way to shatter his support system. It sounds absurd, but it's necessary.
Ji Yan was astonished. "Yun Xiaoxiao, you and your sister really surprise Jiji Uncle. I don't know if it's innate talent or if Jian Qinzhi raised you too well; no wonder you're so popular."
Yun Xiaoxiao was puzzled. "What do you mean by popular?"
Lu Chuan interjected, "Marry me, and I'll help your sister."
In slow motion, Yun Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at the man beside her, her tone strange. "Jiang Lu, are you joking? That's not funny at all."
Lu Chuan replied seriously, "In the military, no family has more influence than the Lu Family. Aside from Ji, I can meet all your requirements. Isn't that enough to help your sister?"
Yun Xiaoxiao looked stunned and after a moment of silence, she fled in panic, leaving behind a remark: "No, military marriages are hard to break off; I'm scared."
The little girl knows quite a bit; you're really good at finding opportunities, tsk tsk. You guys are truly creating trouble for yourselves. Look at me—I'm the only one who genuinely wants to be a good uncle," Ji Yan said proudly.
"You've been single for half your life; what do you have to be proud of?" Jian Qinzhi questioned.
Ji Yan's smile gradually faded as it escalated into personal attacks; this wasn't good.
In a hotel room, a man and woman lay on the sofa with their heads touching, forming a straight line as they slept.
"Yun Zhi Yue, are you asleep?"
"Not yet, just hurry up and say what you need to say. Don't keep me from my sleep."
Nie Yi paused for a moment before speaking, "You want to use Jian Qinzhi to get rid of me. I can see that."
"Well, so what? It doesn't change anything for you, does it?"
Nie Yi chuckled lightly, "Right. No matter what you do, it won't change my mind. You have feelings for me, yet you insist on stubbornly denying it."
"This isn't stubbornness; it's about standing my ground. All you've given me is pain, and I'm just protecting myself."
"Even if you hadn't gone through those bad experiences, we still wouldn't end up together. Deep down, you're gloomy, domineering, and extremely self-centered."
"In your eyes, I belong to you. You think it's love when you hurt me at will, and I have to bear it. But I've had enough, Nie Yi. I'm really on the verge of breaking apart."
Yun Zhi Yue's thoughts became muddled as she fell asleep, dreaming of him flashing back repeatedly.
Nie Yi inhaled the unique scent of Yun Zhi Yue's herbal fragrance and slowly drifted into sleep himself. Just before falling asleep, he murmured, "Pain is what proves my existence."
The recording of Love Paradise went smoothly after the director changed; there were no more unexpected issues.
Han Ling also became more subdued, hardly speaking to Yun Zhi Yue, and none of the other guests dared to approach her either.
On the last day of recording, anticipation was high as the production team had announced that the successful hand-holding would be done in public.
Although it was just a kiss on the cheek, it excited everyone. Fans were particularly concerned about whether Yun Zhi Yue would end up with Jian Qinzhi.
