Yun Nan resisted the urge to facepalm at that.

Xiang Yang winked at her and said, “Sisters come before husbands.” After saying that, she looked around to see if anyone else heard her.

Yun Nan tried not to laugh as she teased, “Are you afraid Mom will hear you?” They laughed, and their relationship became even closer as they shared jokes and teased each other. The two chatted about their experiences.

Xiang Yang told Yun Nan, “I got into jewelry designing because my family is in the jewelry business. I lived with my grandmother when I was a kid and played with gems as toys. I didn’t have a good relationship with my parents; I was very rebellious when I was young. After my grandparents passed away, I was sent abroad to study. No one was there to discipline me, so I grew up wild and unruly.”

Yun Nan chuckled, “Then we have some similarities.”

Xiang Yang nodded. “I heard about your history from Shi Xiu. No matter what happened in the past, it’s behind us; we’re grown up now. What’s important is to live our lives well.”

Yun Nan smiled. “Yeah, we should live our lives well.”

“How is Shi Nian treating you?” Xiang Yang asked, concerned about Yun Nan’s marriage.

Yun Nan nodded and replied, “He treats me quite well.”

“The Shi family values relationships, and they are faithful and affectionate. Before I met Shi Ke, I didn’t believe in love at all. I mean, think about it; I can’t even trust my family’s love let alone romantic love. I’ve been in a few relationships in the past, but I was unable to put my heart into them. I didn’t feel particularly sad when I saw those men cheating on me later on, either. I was even slightly relieved and would think, ‘See, I knew things would end up like this! And then, I met Shi Ke.” Here, Xiang Yang stopped.

Her gaze fell on one of Yun Nan’s paintings. It was titled ‘ Waiting.’ It was a painting of a beautiful alley in an ancient town; the buildings were white-walled and had black-tiled roofs, and bluestone cobblestones paved the street. A young man stood tall and straight at the entrance of the alley.

Xiang Yang’s voice was low and gentle when she spoke, “When I saw this painting of yours, it immediately reminded me of Shi Ke. That’s how he is— always standing, firm as a rock, at the place where we belong, waiting for me.

No matter how my emotions fluctuate, he would be there to catch me.”

Yun Nan looked at her from the side and felt moved. Beautiful love stories were always especially touching.

“Oh, these jewelry are so beautiful! Xu Yun, you’re so lucky! Each of your daughters-in-law is more amazing than the next!” Xiang Yang and Yun Nan heard and instantly frowned at the fawning words. They turned around and saw a group of ladies, bedecked in jewels, slowly making their way over.

Yun Nan and Xiang Yang quickly went over to them when they saw that it was their mother-in-law, Xu Yun, the other ladies were clustering around.

“Mom!” they both called out in greeting and stood on either side of Xu Yun.

Xu Yun looked at her two daughters-in-law and smiled. She introduced them to the other women and then introduced the ladies to them. Then, she told Yun Nan and Xiang Yang, “We were having afternoon tea at the hotel next door. I mentioned wanting to come over to see how the preparations are going, so these aunties wanted to come and take a look. I hope we aren’t disturbing you.”

She then looked at Yun Nan and asked, “How do you have the time to come over and help? Shi Xiu had to participate in an event today. Don’t you have to attend that as well?”

Yun Nan moved closer, lowered her voice, and said, “I came to help Xiang Yang, so I stood them up.”

Xu Yun laughed and playfully hit her. “Won’t your co-workers have a bone to pick with you for that?”

Yun Nan chuckled, “Then I’ll tell them I came to watch the exhibition with my mother-in-law. Mom, you have to cover for me.”

Xu Yun liked that the girls were close with her. She smiled and said to Xiang Yang, “Here, now you have leverage over her. The next time you want her to do something, you can use this to threaten her!”

Xiang Yang laughed. “Thanks, Mom! I’ll happily accept it.” And she proceeded to wink at Yun Nan mischievously.

The ladies at the side couldn’t help but feel envious when they saw the easy-going relationship between Xu Yun and her daughters-in-law. Han Yuan straightened her back. Her daughter-in-law was in no way inferior to the Shi family’s.

She remarked, “Xiang Yang, I heard from your mother-in-law that a lot of the jewelry you exhibited this time are your award-winning works, and a small number of them are available for sale when the exhibition officially begins. Aunty wants to ask you a favor; I want two of your jewelry sets to give to my daughter-in-law and goddaughters.”

Xiang Yang smiled. “Just tell my mother-in-law which ones you like. I’ll have them reserved for you.”

Then, she held Xu Yun’s arm and said, “Mom, I gave the topaz jewelry set to

Yun Nan, and she gave me her paintings; we exchanged gifts.”

Xu Yun was a little surprised by that. She first looked at Xiang Yang and then Yun Nan before she smiled and sighed, “You two are like children playing house. Alright, alright. Those things are yours, anyway. You can do whatever you want with them. But make sure to mark them as ‘reserved’. Otherwise, when the exhibition officially begins, people might want to buy them, not knowing they’re not for sale. Such a misunderstanding can be troublesome..”
