Chapter 430: Chapter 431: First Arrival at the Li Family 3
Shang Wan looked at Li Xinya, who was admiring herself in the mirror, and said,
"By the way, Yaya, did you tell Xiao Huan that your brother is coming back today?
She has been asking about when Tingyan would return ever since New Yearâs Eve. Invite her over for dinner tonight!"
"Yes, I told her. Sister Huan was so happy; sheâs already gone to the entrance of the Big Courtyard to meet my brother."
Li Xinya said with a crisp voice. Her relationship with Chu Huan was exceptionally close, like that of sisters.
It could be said, apart from Shang Wan, she was the one who most hoped for Li Tingyan and Chu Huan to be together!

The train soon arrived at the Jing District station. Nianyang and Li Tingyan walked out of the station, first heading to the mall next door to buy gifts for each of Li Tingyanâs family members.
They then took a car, which drove for about thirty minutes before stopping at a bus stop.
Getting off the car, Li Tingyan said, "Just a few more turns, and weâll reach my home."
Nianyang had initially convinced herself not to be nervous, but upon hearing this, her heart started racing, and she felt like she couldnât breathe. Since when had she become so timid?
Like a soulless paper doll, she was led by Li Tingyan, and before long, they saw the grand entrance of the Big Courtyard, guarded by two gatekeepers.
Seeing Li Tingyan, they immediately said,
"Hello, Mr. Li."
Li Tingyan nodded, pointed to Nianyang behind him, and said,
"My wife, call her Saozi!"
The two gatekeepers looked behind Li Tingyan. Even though they were curious how Li Tingyan found a wife, they didnât show any other expression, "Hello, Saozi!"
"He-hello, you all..."
Nianyang hid behind Li Tingyan, smiling awkwardly but politely at them.
"Tingyan brother, youâre finally back! Iâve been waiting so long for you!" Chu Huan exclaimed, like a joyous butterfly bursting forth at the sound of the voices. Seeing Li Tingyanâs tall and handsome figure, her eyes turned crescent-shaped from smiling.
After not seeing him for years, Tingyan brother had indeed become more imposing. Thinking of the familyâs arrangement, she might get engaged to him this year, which thrilled her.
But the next second, a manâs cold voice shattered Chu Huanâs excitement like an ice sculpture.
"Who are you?"
"Tingyan brother, donât you recognize me?"
Chu Huanâs face stiffened, thinking this couldnât be a joke, right? They had grown up together.
Even though they only met a few times a year, he shouldnât have forgotten her!
Most crucially, she had liked him for more than a decade!
But watching Li Tingyanâs stern face, the look in his eyes wasnât joking at all.
Tingyan brother truly didnât remember her!
"Miss, Iâm not familiar with you. Just call me Mr. Li."
Li Tingyan really didnât recognize the girl in front of him; just hearing her call him brother made him uncomfortable.
After the Ning Xia incident, heâs now wise to immediately spot when a girl might be interested in him, so he must be very heartless in response.
Chu Huan panicked, "Tingyan brother, how could we not be familiar? I am Chu Huan, Chu Zhanâs sister!"
So she was Chu Huan after all!
Li Tingyan suddenly understood, recalling the familyâs arrangements made behind his back, his face turned utterly grim!
"Pfft."
Hiding behind, having listened to the entire conversation between Li Tingyan and Chu Huan, she couldnât help but laugh out loud.
Her man was just amazing, making her so happy!
Indeed, Li Tingyan hadnât lied to her. He genuinely wasnât familiar with Chu Huan, and had even forgotten her!
Nianyangâs heart felt like it was floating away.
