"Miss, Miss Bai has arrived." Aunt Li was not unfamiliar with Bai Ran. As the previous nominal lady of the Yun Family and, in name, the second lady of the house, Bai Ran had a particularly low presence at home. Both Yun Shen and Yun Shu did not care for her. To protect herself, Aunt Li had not had much contact with Bai Ran. Her impression was that of a silent and proud woman. However, today, this woman was wearing a Dior haute couture blue sleeveless jumpsuit, with feet in ten-centimeter shiny black heels. She had cut her long hair into a bob, her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, flame-red lips, and she looked sharp and capable, exuding an overwhelming queenly aura. Compared to her former silence, her every move now was enchantingly charming, like the most gorgeous begonia blooming under the sun, stunning beyond words. Aunt Li was somewhat surprised at her transformation—unaware that before marrying into the Yun Family, Bai Ran had always been . The Yun Family had buried all her passion and expectation, and she had gradually lost her former vitality. Now, she had regained the confidence and enthusiasm she once lost. That familiar Bai Ran was back. When Yun Ya saw Bai Ran, the smile at the corner of his lips deepened. The Bai Ran he had seen upon his return and the one before him now seemed like two different people. Love is indeed the best beauty cream. Bai Ran took out an exquisite invitation from her bag and handed it to Yun Ya, "Next week at Huabin Hotel, remember to come and drink at the wedding. Be careful of the consequences if you don’t come." Yun Ya took the invitation and opened it. This invitation was truly a work of art: elegant, beautiful, and festive, with gold embossing that spoke of the host’s lavishness. Inside was a wedding photo of Bai Ran and Ning Qinglin, looking into each other’s eyes with a sweet and warm feeling that leaped off the page. Below were the names of the couple in large print, destined to be together, with the time and address clearly written. Yun Ya looked up with a smile, "And what would those consequences be?" Bai Ran sized her up carefully, relieved to see her complexion rosy and her spirit good, and hummed lightly, "You’ll never get married in your lifetime." Yun Ya nodded as if taking the matter seriously, "That does sound quite serious." "To make sure I get married soon, I absolutely must go." Bai Ran raised her eyebrows, "You’re that eager to marry, huh? What, got someone in mind?" Yun Ya smiled, "Aunt Bai’s eyes are still as sharp as ever." Bai Ran narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "What are the terms?" Yun Ya said with a smile, "Very good, practically tailor-made for me." Bai Ran laughed, "You really are shameless. When you have time, bring him over for me to see." Yun Ya let out a sigh, "He’s not in Jiangzhou at the moment, and I don’t know when he’ll be able to come back." Seeing her sorrowful expression, it was clear she held that person in her heart. Bai Ran was somewhat astonished; she had thought Yun Ya was just joking or at worst, it was just a young girl’s fling, but she was actually in love. In her mind, although Yun Ya was a young girl, she should be the kind of person who was passionate but indifferent. She could not imagine Yun Ya in love with a man. Just what kind of man was it that even Yun Ya could fall head over heels? But then again, it seemed only natural. No matter how clever and capable Yun Ya was, she was still a young girl of five or six at heart, and at that age, one always holds the most naive dreams about love. Bai Ran wanted to offer some advice, but seeing Yun Ya’s clear and dark eyes, she was unable to say anything. Yun Ya likely did not need her advice; she understood everything as clearly as if her heart were a mirror. So sometimes, when dealing with such a smart person, there’s no need for words. She wouldn’t like to hear those words anyway. Yun Ya looked up at Bai Ran with eyes that seemed to see through everything, leaving nowhere to hide, "It seems Aunt Bai has something on her mind?" Facing those eyes made Bai Ran subconsciously a bit frightened. Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Yun Ya, "I told you last time to keep an eye on Xiangxiang. Did you afterward..." Yun Ya casually raised an eyebrow, "I should really thank Aunt Bai for the reminder." Bai Ran’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a sense of foreboding, "Xiangxiang... did she...?" Yun Ya looked at Bai Ran, "I remember Aunt Bai has already cut ties with the Bai Family. Have you also cut ties with your niece?" Bai Ran almost dared not meet that gaze directly, "Xiangxiang got into trouble... do you know about it?"

I always underestimated her."
