Yan Yan got into the car and just commandeered Yan Ling’s black sunglasses.

"Just how famous do you think you are to be wearing sunglasses like these? If anyone should wear them, it’s me. But, what was my former sister-in-law thinking? These sunglasses look so out of place on my face," Yan Yan lacked the basic decency expected of a "robber," complaining even as she snatched them away.

"They weren’t yours to begin with, do they need to match your face? Besides, I bought these with my own money. Why do you keep mentioning the ’former sister-in-law’? Are you afraid others won’t know I’m divorced?" Yan Ling was wary of his cousin’s variety of colorful nicknames.

"Why would I be scared of that? If anything, I’m worried about you being single for so long with no one wanting you. You might end up a lifelong bachelor, and then I’d have to take care of you in your old age. That would be a heavy burden for me," Yan Yan said gravely.

"Well, thanks for solving that worry for your brother," Yan Ling smiled amicably.

"But I actually have a bigger fear. With just one phone call, you rush off to the United States. If old feelings reignite and then Uncle kicks you out, I’ll be one cousin short," Yan Yan was particularly fiery in her speech today.

"Was it really necessary to pry into whether he was an ex or current boyfriend? Or are you actually planning to break up with Qi Yi?" Yan Ling felt Yan Yan was overreacting today.

"If I ever have children, I definitely want a daughter." Yan Yan’s thought process was becoming erratic again.

"Are you planning to present a fait accompli?

Don’t do that—in that case, while I’m perfectly at home, Uncle and Aunt might just kick you out.

If things continue this way, there will only be a cousin left, with no cousin sister," Yan Ling looked at Yan Yan, hoping to see some denial in her face.

"Look at me. Do I look like I have time to have children?" Yan Yan gave Yan Ling a despairing look.

"So, you really are thinking that?" Yan Ling was still puzzled.

"Do you really think I would do something like that?" Yan Yan didn’t answer but posed a new question instead.

"No," Yan Ling was confident about that.

"Then why ask if you already know?" Yan Yan asked irritably.

"I’m just worried your brain might have taken in water. It wouldn’t be the first time," Yan Ling ignored Yan Yan’s multifaceted expressions.

Yan Dabang and his wife had asked Yan Ling to advise Yan Yan, but Yan Ling really didn’t think romance was something "outsiders" should meddle in.

Yan Ling didn’t want to advise Yan Yan, but he also couldn’t let his parents’ "ardent hopes" be disappointed.

Thus, after arriving in New York, Yan Ling took the opportunity during a brief free moment to "meet" Qi Yi.

"Qi Yi said his mother is actually quite easygoing, but I really couldn’t see it.

Over the years, I’ve hardly ever come to New York, and Qi Yi must have been pretty frustrated himself.

Honestly, parents can be really strange sometimes.

Take just Uncle and Aunt, for example—they’re so easygoing! Yet they were so firmly against you getting married.

I think, when it comes to their son’s love life, parents turn into completely different people.

So, if I ever have kids, I’ll have a daughter. See how open-minded my parents are?" Yan Yan’s logic was almost divine.

After hearing this, Yan Ling immediately retracted his earlier assessment that Yan Yan was becoming more logical in her speech.

"Your parents being that open-minded is rare.

My parents, like many people, are quite typical.

In Wenzhou, it’s not uncommon for parents like mine to insist on finding a Wenzhou daughter-in-law.

Your boyfriend’s mom, she’s really something else.

Because you and her son dated back in high school, she opposed your relationship, which really doesn’t make much sense," Yan Ling was definitely still feeling protective of his sister.

"Wow, it seems you actually had a deep conversation with him the day before yesterday. He even shared all that with you?" Yan Yan chuckled, not truly sure how she felt about it.

From initially fearing Qi Yi’s mother to later confronting her inner fears and now... it was a feeling too complex to sum up in a few words.

"It wasn’t particularly in-depth, but he’s certainly eloquent, born for debate competitions," Yan Ling chuckled somewhat helplessly.

Yan Ling went to see Qi Yi mainly to find out his thoughts on behalf of Yan Yan’s parents.

Of course, Yan Ling wouldn’t sneak around like Qi Yi’s mom and try to break Yan Yan and Qi Yi up.

But Yan Ling was straightforward, saying that Yan Yan’s parents were very worried about her personal issues, and that dragging on their relationship might not end well.

Qi Yi was just as frank, "You once told me that your family opposed your marriage too.

But, cousin, you went ahead fearlessly. I admire that decisiveness. I wish I could do the same.

However, doing so would upset Yan Yan’s parents, and Yan Yan wouldn’t want to visit my home anymore.

I hope I can thoroughly persuade my mom so that Yan Yan won’t have to endure any hardship.

I realize, though, that I’ve taken too long.

Still, I’ve never thought of giving up. And, I believe I will succeed.

I think, cousin, you must understand. Being impulsive is easy, giving up too, but I’ve never considered quitting my efforts."

This kind of talk from Qi Yi might not be helpful if said to someone else.

But irrational parental opposition, Yan Ling knew all too well what it felt like.

For Yan Dabang and his wife to seek Yan Ling’s advice on matters of love for Yan Yan does seem a bit "out of place."

Yan Ling himself never exerted much effort in convincing his parents, choosing instead to confront them head-on.

Qi Yi’s inability to completely settle things with his mom isn’t wrong, but Qi Yi’s efforts vastly exceed those of Yan Ling.

Ultimately, the fate of Yan Yan and Qi Yi’s relationship will still be up to Yan Yan herself.

Previously during an interview, Yan Ling mentioned that Y·Y might consider going public, which caught Wall Street’s attention as many investment firms wanted to meet him.

Usually, entrepreneurs go to great lengths to meet investors.

The rapid rise of the brand Y·Y drastically reversed the roles between entrepreneurs and investors.

Wall Street never lacks legends, but not everyone can become part of one.
