Chapter 93
An Yu tilted her head slightly and asked in a low voice in her ear.
Kiana felt the warm breath on her ear, and her smile suddenly looked more like a grimace.
I didn't know that. I thought you used Raiden Ryoma to invite Mei over for a meal, since you're the only male member of the Anti-Entropy New Generation.
"Ayu, why did you come with my dad and the others?" she asked in a low voice, her tone trembling with a hint of tears.
"... I originally thought we could all talk things out, but I didn't expect you to pull this stunt."
Who could react in time? An Yu was completely stunned, and his girlfriend Anna was right next to him, silently shoveling rice like a drenched puppy.
What does it mean to "speak frankly"?
"It's about clearing up all the misunderstandings."
Kiana sniffed, her smile instantly turning even more strained, and could only quickly pull out her phone to type.
Unfortunately, the two were sitting too close together, and Siegfried didn't notice Kiana's change in expression. Only Raiden Mei and Elysia, who were sitting on the other side, sighed in unison.
Siegfried broke the awkward atmosphere by asking, "When did you two officially become a couple?"
While it is indeed heartbreaking to marry off a daughter, it depends on age and circumstances.
Kiana, with her questionable sexual orientation, acts like a child all day, running around everywhere, secretly reading comics and playing games at night, and occasionally running away from home. Her sadness won't show until the day she gets married.
"Uncle, actually it's..."
"Yesterday!"
She said those two words so quickly that Kiana tightened her grip even more, as if afraid An Yu would run away from her.
An Yu glanced at her, then looked at Anna, who was completely soaked like a little puppy in the rain. He sighed and prepared to stand up and explain.
Just then, Anna raised her small face, even managing to maintain a fairly sweet smile, "Hmm, I heard that my cousin and An Yu have been dating for a long time, and they finally confirmed their relationship yesterday."
After speaking, she lowered her head again, holding her phone, looking like a little kid at a family gathering who only knew how to play with his phone, his fingers faintly trembling.
Elysia placed another piece of food on Anna's plate.
What a deep sisterly bond, Miss Anna.
"It was only confirmed yesterday... then the dating period is indeed a bit short."
Siegfried sighed, but a shorter time was fine, as long as both sides were willing.
After all, his relationship with Cecilia hadn't lasted very long.
"It's not short at all. I used to go to the same university as Ayu. We were definitely senior and junior students."
Kiana's smile remained bright. Raiden Mei sighed again. This wasn't a lie, but during university, An Yu and Bronya had interacted with her, yet she hadn't interacted with Kiana at all.
After all, An Yu University is quite busy.
"That means we've known each other for at least five or six years now." Siegfried said thoughtfully, arriving at a conclusion that satisfied him.
"Your long-term relationship is really quite resilient."
Kiana couldn't hold back her smile for a moment.
Raiden Mei covered her face, unsure of what to say.
Raiden Ryoma stood up, patted his daughter, and looked extremely displeased.
You mean, after you two started having feelings for each other in college, you were still flirting with my daughter? Miss Kiana.
"So, are you calm now, Mei?"
Ryoma said calmly, "Now you've come to terms with reality, haven't you? Focus on inheriting the family business. If you want to date freely, find someone you like; if not, choose someone suitable for yourself."
'Ridge≌￡‖search∨¤group: Yayi:...
She covered her face and nodded obediently, her body trembling. Ryoma thought she was sad, so he patted his daughter's shoulder again, feeling somewhat helpless.
Meanwhile, Siegfried had already started talking to An Yu about family, the past, and work.
Learning that An Yu and her sister had relied on each other for survival and had made it this far on their own, I felt a deep sense of relief.
That's right, only such an outstanding young man could win his daughter's heart. As for... Durandal?
Putting aside that martial arts fanatic, it seems the other party also knows An Yu.
"After we finish eating, let bygones be bygones."
"You should all look forward now, and also get your minds back on track."
This was a rare moment of seriousness and earnestness from Siegfried.
After they finished talking and were satisfied with their meal, he noticed Anna, who was engrossed in playing on her phone.
"Anna, stop glued to your phone all day. Think more about your important life events and learn from your cousin."
Anna:...
She held her phone tightly, her fingertips digging into it repeatedly.
Siegfried thought she was being rebellious, since kids these days hate being lectured when they're on their phones.
It's okay, he doesn't like lecturing, he's just in a good mood today.
People are in high spirits when they encounter happy events.
He finally looked at Elysia: "Don't worry, I will never let Kiana bully An Yu again."
Kiana:?
Elysia raised her delicate hand and gently covered the lower half of her face. She remained silent for a moment, seemingly sorting out her complex emotions.
Then, she lowered her hand, nodded to Siegfried, and said in a relaxed tone: Whoosh
"Well, I'll have to trouble you with their affairs then. I don't know much about this kind of thing."
After saying that, Elysia's lips curled into a very faint smile, and she said no more.
Volume 1: Chapter 137 (136) Hey! I have a plan!
The meal lasted a full half hour. It seemed that Raiden Ryoma and Siegfried had a free-fighting match afterward. After finishing his meal, he expressionlessly gestured for Siegfried to leave. (Qiu)
The moment the door to the private room closed, it was as if all sound was sucked away, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
Kiana, like a salted fish that has lost its dreams, slumped onto the table, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Cousin~" Si
Anna's voice was mournful and shrill, like a vengeful ghost just crawled out of the deepest hell.
Elysia covered her mouth, suppressing her laughter, but the thought that the person in question was Xiaoyu made her unable to laugh anymore.
"What's next?" Lu asked.
Raiden Mei, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed and happy; in fact, she was already happy.
"I recommend finding an opportunity to explain things clearly."
An Yu silently served food to Anna, her cute little face now red-rimmed and full of grievance, like a cat whose dried fish had been stolen.
Elysia rested her chin on her hand, tapping her cheek with her slender finger, and added fuel to the fire, "Actually, I think I've seen this kind of romantic comedy on TV before."
Anyway, what's fake will definitely become real, and then it'll be another story of bickering lovers.
Anna remained silent, her head bowed in quiet despair, a heavy atmosphere surrounding her, until An Yu sat down beside her. There, she began to sob softly, nestled in the arms of her cheap boyfriend.
"I have a plan!"
Kiana suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
An Yu, unusually, found herself on the same wavelength as Mei: "What kind of scheme do you have?"
"Why don't we announce to the public that we're such close sisters that we'll both marry the same man!"
"I won't compete with you, Anna, as long as you can keep An Yu in check and make sure he doesn't interfere with me either."
Anyway, her family's goal of pressuring her to get married has been achieved. When people ask why she doesn't want children, Kiana can just say that she's afraid of pain, so she's childless.
An Yu's mind instantly conjured up a string of characters: -50% -25% -12.5% of assets.
Anna's sobs stopped for a moment, then she started sobbing even more.
She suddenly felt that her cousin wasn't so reliable anymore.
"Hey, I have another plan!"
Kiana slammed her hand on the table and stood up again. After experiencing the series of events just now, she felt that she had been elevated.
"Mei can also have a fake marriage then. If her family still pressures her, you can announce that you're on a honeymoon for two months, then for a year, and when you come back, you can adopt a baby from an orphanage."
Perfect!
As for the adoption procedures and follow-up issues... we'll talk about that later! Anyway, Kiana firmly believes that Sirin was adopted by her parents from some remote corner.
Mei started facepalming too. How are we going to take our honeymoon photos?
"Actually, I have a plan too," An Yu said softly, rubbing her temples.
Compared to Kiana's thought process, he felt that he was at least somewhat human.
"Then you can just run away from home for a year, come back with a child, and say you met a jerk outside and will never believe in love again. Wouldn't that be simpler?"
"If the adults in your family mention who the scumbag is, you all wail and act like you're heartbroken."
Kiana paused for a moment, then thought, "That makes sense!"
However, there is still one problem.
"Then what will you do?"
After all, today's events have become too complicated, and people will easily turn their attention to An Yu.
An Yu said calmly, "Simple. I'll go and explain what happened today. Your parents will definitely want to beat you, and you can take the opportunity to run away from home for a year."
"No!" Kiana's mind raced. "Schicksal has influence in Europe and Africa, and Oceania, not to mention Anti-Entropy is the dominant power in North and South America and the Far East. Can we really hide there..."
Her thoughts paused for a moment, and she met An Yu's gaze for a brief instant. In An Yu's bleak smile, which seemed to say, "You're just asking for it!", a sudden inspiration struck her!
"Approx.↓★Fly∥Group#: bw [:,△≥sn"; er Divine Land!"
An Yu:...
He immediately wanted to bury his face in his hands again, wondering if he should advise Bronya to move the company back to the Americas.
Kiana gripped An Yu's hand tightly, her eyes burning with fervor. "Sir, you are truly a man of great talent!"
An Yu:...
Mei:...
"Ahem, isn't there a more respectable way to do it?"
Mei coughed softly. In two years, she would be taking over ME Entertainment Alliance. Although this little bit of fame wouldn't affect anything, did she really have to run away from home for a year?
An Yu was silent for a moment, then her tone became even more devoid of emotion:
"Yes, you could run away from home for a month, then bribe the doctor before you come back to pretend you're pregnant. But that would make things very complicated later on."
"Remember to eat more sour foods and less spicy foods, and when they are seven or eight months pregnant, they can still make all sorts of demands at home."
An Yu's tone was frighteningly calm. How did he know? He saw it when he was researching cases when he first started university.
Mei fell into deep thought.
Elysia leaned against the window, feeling that life wasn't easy for anyone in this world.
And then she suddenly remembered why her reputation had declined so quickly in her dream when she was in Ice Herrscher.
These kinds of trivial family matters can truly turn into disasters, and they really can't be controlled. The only solution is to promote education and make the social atmosphere more positive and uplifting, so that the problems can be gradually reduced.
"Let's continue with the anniversary celebration after we finish eating. We've been busy with activities all morning, it's time for me to watch the games this afternoon."
It's hard to say whether this meal left a mark on any of them. An Yu didn't have any activities during the anniversary celebration in the afternoon, and he was also in the stands watching the game.
Lu returned to her familiar spot, and everyone gradually arrived. Bronya had a calm expression, while Xing was being pulled by one hand by Bronya, looking like a defeated wolfhound.
Bronya paused for a moment in front of An Yu.
Ling An Yu handed over two fast food meals, which his boss had asked him to bring.
Why does he look unhappy?
Bronya spoke softly, and Kiana, who was standing beside her, glanced at An Yu twice before giving what she considered a concise account of everything that had happened at noon.
