Pink bubbles appeared to fill the entire waiting room. Zhong Qianqian observed everything with no trace of a smile. Her features twisted into a hideous scowl.

Something felt terribly off. Was this truly the arrogant and distant Zhong Nuannuan?

Zhong Nuannuan had despised Chi Yang with such intensity and burned with fury over his past coercion... She had sworn to Zhong Qianqian that she'd never end up with Chi Yang.

How could this happen...

Zhong Qianqian saw how this man had completely ignored her right from the start, yet he showed pure adoration the instant he spotted Zhong Nuannuan. She balled her hands into tight fists, her nails piercing deep into her palms without her noticing.

Jealous flames blazed in Zhong Qianqian’s eyes as she hurried swiftly toward Zhong Nuannuan.

Before Zhong Qianqian could yank that wench away from Chi Yang, Jiang Shuwan had already rushed to their side.

“Nuannuan, look at you. Your dad, I, and your sister are all right here watching, yet you're getting all cozy with Chi Yang. My girl, you're fortunate it's only family present. What if outsiders saw and started gossiping?”

Zhong Nuannuan remained utterly unconcerned.

“Mom, Chi Yang is my fiancé, and he's military too. Who'd dare gossip about us?”

By openly declaring herself Chi Yang’s fiancée, Zhong Nuannuan shifted the whole atmosphere, leaving Chi Yang fully at ease.

Just as Jiang Shuwan opened her mouth to protest, Chi Yang chimed in supportively, “Nobody will gossip. The military base already approved our marriage report. We can wed as soon as you hit 18. Anyone badmouthing us faces a military court trial—I’ll make sure they rot behind bars for life.”

Jiang Shuwan clamped her lips shut after Chi Yang spoke. She tried switching subjects.

“Alright, alright. I'm thrilled you two get along, but this is still a detention center—a filthy spot. Shall we head out? Aunty Zhao prepared your beloved hairy crabs and crayfish, plus loads of your favorite dishes. Let Mom and Dad give you a proper homecoming.”

With those words, Jiang Shuwan pried Zhong Nuannuan’s arms from Chi Yang’s waist. She grasped Zhong Nuannuan’s hand and beckoned Zhong Kuijun and Zhong Qianqian to depart together.

“Hold on.”

Chi Yang halted Jiang Shuwan. In a flash, he had lifted Zhong Nuannuan—who'd been beside her—straight into his embrace.

As Zhong Qianqian watched with burning envy, Chi Yang set her down on the table. He gently took hold of Zhong Nuannuan’s delicate, pale feet.

Feeling her chilly feet, he furrowed his brow instinctively. Though slightly annoyed, heartache overwhelmed him. “Why aren't your shoes on? It's November now. Aren't you freezing?”

Zhong Nuannuan, “...”

Overwhelmed by joy at her rebirth and reuniting with Chi Yang, she'd completely forgotten her shoes.

“Aunty, where are Nuannuan’s shoes?”

Stunned, Jiang Shuwan replied, “How should I know where her shoes are?”

Why ask her such a thing?

Chi Yang’s frown deepened. “I mean, where are the spare clothes and shoes you brought for her? She can't walk out in a prison uniform!”

Everyone exchanged awkward glances. Jiang Shuwan flushed, unable to justify herself.

“Did we... need spare clothes? I... I've never visited a prison before and didn't realize all these details. I rushed over thrilled that Nuannuan was free, forgetting preparations. Nuannuan, you won't hold it against me, will you?”

“What nonsense? You didn't even bring one outfit for Nuannuan. What sort of mother does that?”

Though Chi Yang was Nuannuan’s fiancé, his rank far outstripped Zhong Kuijun’s. Spotting Chi Yang’s displeased look, Zhong Kuijun immediately scolded his wife.

Jiang Shuwan paled. Knowing she'd botched this, she turned to soothe Zhong Nuannuan.

“Nuannuan, why not keep the uniform on for now? The car's just outside—a quick walk. We can change at home, alright?”

Before she could respond, Chi Yang declared, “Wait here a moment.”
