"Sweetheart, is there anything else you want to buy? Hurry up, I have something to do this afternoon and can't accompany you." Ye Shixin looked at the dazzling array of wedding supplies, feeling slightly overwhelmed. Her best friend was getting married, and although it wasn't a match made of love, they've come this far. She still hoped her sweetheart could have a beautiful marriage.

"Hmm? Where are you going?" Tian Xinnian cocked her head to look at her. Originally, she didn't want to get married, purchasing all these things with reluctance. If she couldn't have her best friend by her side, she might as well just go home.

"Oh, brother Yicheng is coming back this evening, I need to go pick him up." Shen Yicheng was her fiancé, who she was promised to since childhood. They've known each other since they were kids, he was returning from studying in America, and it's been two years since they last saw each other.

Tian Xinnian looked at Ye Shixin's puffy face with surprise, poking her cheek as if she discovered something new, "Oh my gosh, are you in love?"

She had never seen this soft, feminine side to Ye Shixin, indeed, even the toughest women become tender in front of love, "Alright, I'll let you prioritize love over friendship this time."

Prioritize what now?!

Ye Shixin was just about to roll her eyes, when suddenly a piece of clothing was thrust in her face. She looked at the clothing, her face turned bright red, what was this? It looked like two, no, three pieces of cloth sewn together? The key parts were showing, and what even was this pair of pants, just two strings?

Tian Xinnian suppressed her laughter and whispered something into Ye Shixin's ear, her cheeks turned even redder. Angrily, she threw the clothing aside, "Tian Xinnian, you've become evil ever since you lost your virginity!"

Even though they were in a lingerie store, there were still many men accompanying women around them, Ye Shixin's voice was loud, everyone in the store stopped what they were doing and looked at them.

This is embarrassing!

The two quickly scurried out of the store, Ye Shixin's phone rang. Seeing the number on the screen, she wrinkled her brows and picked up.

"Shixin, it's your sister. Dad wants you to come home right now, Yicheng is coming back this afternoon. Our two families are old friends, he wants all of us to go pick him up." Ye Mingzhu's gentle voice came from the receiver, Ye Shixin replied and hung up the call.

That home, she hadn't been back for quite a while. Ye Mingzhu returned from the U.S two months prior, and called her several times inviting her to come home, each time she made up an excuse of being too busy. It was never a good thing when she met this sister of hers, better to keep her distance when possible.

Before Ye Shixin could even feign upset, Tian Xinnian waved her hand, "I got it, just go, remember to dress beautifully and try your best to win over brother Yicheng. Don't forget to tell me if anything happens tonight."

Ye Shixin, flush with embarrassment, lunged at her, "Tian Xinnian, damn it, you've truly turned bad!"

...

Airport

Ye Shixin cleaned out her ears from being bombarded all the way with saccharine compliments, every return home was marked by Ye Mingzhu and Qiao Yun's display of mother-daughter love, not to mention the occasional harm directed towards her. Now that they were finally at the airport and she was about to see her brother Yicheng, she felt some of the stress lifting off her shoulders.
