"Hello, Grandma, little sister. My name is Jiangnan Yan, and I'm Shen Yi's girlfriend!"
Jiangnan Yan subconsciously tucked the hair by her ear behind it and introduced herself very stiffly.
She was nervous, worried that Shen Yi's family would not like her.
Shen Yi had many women. If his family did not like her, it would definitely affect her relationship with him in the future...
When Jiangnan Yan greeted them, her palms were sweating from nerves.
"So you're Xiao Yi's girlfriend. What a pretty young lady..."
Grandma was a little surprised.
But after that brief surprise, she gave Jiangnan Yan a kind, gentle smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandma!" Jiangnan Yan sighed in relief and smiled brightly.
Wonderful!
Grandma liked me, and she even accepted me as her granddaughter-in-law!
Does that mean I'll be the officially recognized main wife of Shen Yi's family from now on?
So happy!!
Then Jiangnan Yan looked at Shen Su, who was as delicate and exquisite as a doll.
A flash of amazement passed through her eyes. Shen Yi's little sister was so adorable!
Even without much grooming or makeup, she could not conceal her stunning natural beauty.
Though she was still young and her face retained some childishness.
She would definitely grow into a great beauty in the future!
What puzzled Jiangnan Yan, however, was why Shen Yi's sister had remained expressionless ever since getting into the car.
Was that simply her natural personality? She was completely different from Shen Yi.
These siblings really had vastly different personalities...
Not only their personalities—even their appearances made them seem nothing like biological siblings.
As she pondered this, she smiled and greeted her. "Hello, little sister. What's your name?"
"Hmph!"
Shen Su gave a soft snort, turned her head toward the window, and ignored Jiangnan Yan completely.
That distant attitude left Jiangnan Yan somewhat embarrassed.
She did not know what she had done wrong. Why did Shen Yi's sister dislike her?
Grandma shook her head and sighed, but said nothing.
Shen Yi naturally could not be bothered to speak up for Jiangnan Yan either.
In his eyes, his little sister was far more important than Jiangnan Yan.
As for why his sister was unhappy, he knew that too.
She's a brother-con. That's just how they are.
She'll grow out of it when she gets older.
The SUV drove along the road home.
As Shen Yi drove, he snacked on fruit while using Telepathy to scan the plants lining the road, checking whether any of them bore Ability Fruit.
Unfortunately,
After driving dozens of kilometers, Shen Yi had not found a single Ability Fruit.
Of course, that was mainly because most of his attention was focused on driving, so he had not observed the surroundings closely enough. There might have been some that he missed.
After another half hour of driving, Shen Yi felt the urge to pee, so he pulled over somewhere safe to use the bathroom.
"If you need to use the bathroom too, don't wander too far from the car. There could be danger in the Black Fog."
After reminding them, Shen Yi got out of the car.
"Wait for me, bro! I'm going too!"
Shen Su opened the door and followed after Shen Yi.
Inside the car, Jiangnan Yan was awkwardly making small talk with Grandma.
Although Jiangnan Yan had a high IQ, her EQ was not much to speak of.
Especially since she had never been in a relationship or spent time with her boyfriend's elders, she did not know how to start a conversation.
Grandma, on the other hand, tactfully asked quite a few questions about Jiangnan Yan's family.
"Stupid bro, when did you get a girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me?"
Just as Shen Yi started relieving himself, his sister's unhappy muttering came from not far behind him.
"Su Su, what are you doing?"
Shen Yi quickly finished peeing, shook himself twice, and pulled up his pants.
At that moment, Shen Su emerged from the Black Fog with her cheeks puffed out.
Her adorable little face was full of unhappiness and grievance, and she looked like she was on the verge of tears.
Shen Yi sighed helplessly. He wanted to reach out and rub Shen Su's head, but then remembered that he had just peed and had not washed his hands, so he withdrew his hand.
But when Shen Su saw that, her eyes instantly turned red.
She felt that her brother had completely betrayed her!
Ignoring Shen Yi's objection, she forcibly shoved her head into his palm and rubbed against it several times.
"Bro, can you break up with her?"
Shen Su raised her head, pouting with reddened eyes as she looked pitifully at Shen Yi.
"Su Su, stop being willful."
Shen Yi frowned, his tone stern.
Shen Su puffed out her aggrieved cheeks. Seeing no smile on Shen Yi's face, she did not dare throw another tantrum.
Though her brother usually spoiled her, whenever he wore that expression, it meant he was serious.
"I-I understand."
"Mm. I have a few other women at home too. Su Su, help me keep it from Grandma when the time comes," Shen Yi added.
He was also letting his little sister know in advance, so she would not throw another tantrum later.
"What!?"
Shen Su froze instantly.
She stared at her brother in disbelief.
What did he mean, he had several other women?
A harem!?
Her brother... he was actually keeping a harem in real life!??
Shen Su had thought something so utterly worldview-shattering could only happen in novels...
Yet it had happened right beside her, and the person involved was her own brother!
Even after they returned to the car, Shen Su remained shocked and unable to believe it.
She glanced at Jiangnan Yan in the passenger seat, her expression turning strange.
Though she did not want to admit it, this woman really was beautiful. She also knew how to dress, and one look was enough to tell she was a wealthy young lady from the city.
And she did not even mind her brother keeping a harem...
Could it be because of the Black Fog outside?
Shen Su's emotions were complicated. Her young heart had suffered an enormous blow.
She found it hard to accept.
And it hurt.
But,
When Shen Yi drove into the city and Shen Su saw its miserable state, her young heart suffered another heavy blow.
Mountain City, once bustling and prosperous, now had almost no people visible on the streets.
Only shrill screams occasionally rang out from within the Black Fog.
As the SUV drove on, mutated animals would occasionally try to pounce onto it.
Bizarre, absurd, terrifying!
Shen Su could not help swallowing. "I-Is this the end of the world?"
"Why aren't the police officers and soldiers saving people?"
During this time, Shen Su and Grandma had been hiding in the cellar, almost completely unaware of the outside world. She had assumed this disaster was like an earthquake or flood, something the country would resolve after a while.
But,
It now seemed impossible to resolve in a short time!
Even Mountain City, a major new first-tier city with a population of over thirty million, had fallen!
It was just like the apocalypse in a movie!!
"Most likely, there won't be any rescue..." Jiangnan Yan softly answered Shen Su's question.
She had already stopped hoping for government rescue.
After all, even the female police officer who had joined their little family yesterday said there would be no rescue.
There was no point fantasizing about rescue now.
Fortunately, she was safe for the moment and had no worries about food or drink. Other than being somewhat concerned for her parents' safety, Jiangnan Yan did not feel that life was all that bad now.
There were simply fewer entertainment options.
As they chatted, Shen Yi drove back to the residential complex.
Along the way, he used Telepathy and saw that there were still quite a few survivors on the roads.
Mountain City was, after all, a massive metropolis with tens of millions of people. Even though more than two-thirds had died in the past few days, there were still at least ten million survivors.
After driving into the complex, Shen Yi parked the car back in the parking space beside Building 13.
It was the building where Murong Xue, the apocalypse enthusiast, lived.
