Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Worries
Yan Kai laughed, "I think this person is not only strong in ability but also excellent in choosing partners. Look at
Sun Chan, she’s sensible and smart. | believe she will make a great couple in the future. Why didn’t you seize the
opportunity well?"
He had previously considered introducing Sun Chan to Yan Kai, but unfortunately, just as this idea emerged, Gu
Junming reported a relationship, saying they would marry when she turned twenty.
Yan Kai just smiled after hearing this, but he didn’t agree in his heart. He thought Sun Chan, being an orphan,
may have sadvantages, but she had no support behind her, and he definitely wouldn't marry a woman like
that. He wanted to find someone at least equal to or slightly higher than himself to have scommon ground,
right?
Mr. Yan glanced at him and said, "Are you pretending to be silly? Don’t you know my thoughts about you? You're
not young anymore. Do you really want to stay single for life?"
"No," Yan Kai smiled, "I'll talk about it after | finish this task. Work is urgent right now. | need to compete well with
Gu Junming."
"Hmm, last tin Xiong’er Ridge affairs, you had the upper hand over Gu Junming, but it wasn’t because he
was poor; it was because Gu Junming repaid your kindness. Never think if he takes action, he’ll do worse than
you."
Yan Kai nodded, "Yes. | know, | admire Gu Junming for this."
"Alright, you go out. | get irritated seeing you always return alone."

Yan Kai smiled, got up, and walked out. His father was of that personality, talking about caring matters but in a
cold tone. Yan Kai was aware of the relationship issue, he wouldn't be unable to find, just aiming to find someone
he truly likes.
Yan Kai cout of the room and instructed the maid to make snoodles for his father. Yan Kai was from the
north and loved handmade noodles. The maid agreed and quickly went to the kitchen. Just as she was going to
her room for rest, someone walked in.
Seeing the person cin, Yan Kai immediately smiled and walked over—it was Yang Hongying.
Seeing Yan Kai, Yang Hongying shivered, almost dropping the things in her hands, "Co... cousin, why are you at
home?"
"Are you afraid of me?" Yan Kai laughed uncontrollably, "Am | that scary?"
"I'm here to see the old man, not afraid of you, just didn’t expect you to be home." Yang Hongying was very
embarrassed.
She was afraid of this cousin since she was little, his words and actions were always serious, no one dared to be
carefree in front of him. Additionally, Yang Hongying had a marriage before, which Yan Kai strongly opposed, but
she insisted, only for her husband to die soon after their marriage. Remembering Yan Kai's concern words, she
felt regretful and sad. At that time, her parents insisted on the marriage, saying the other party had prospects,
who knew it ended up such?
Yan Kai was nice to her, although they were distant relatives, he was still very concerned. He helped her sit
down, "Don’t worry, it’s all in the past. You're still young, good days are yet to come."
"I know, cousin." She was twirling her fingers.
Yan Kai sighed too, his good cousin’s marriage was so short before her husband's passing, leaving her with a
husband-killer reputation.
Her husband had an accident while transporting supplies during duty. It was supposed to bring a good
reputation, yet he had drunk too much himself leading to the accident, causing two other soldiers’ deaths too.
Hence, her husband’s nwasn’t good, Yang Hongying lived even harder, soon to retire and unsure of her
future.
Yan Kai thought maybe he could help find her a better job, but she joined the army straight after middle school;
her education wasn’t high, hard to find.
Noticing Yan Kai was distracted, Yang Hongying bit her lip and said, "Actually, | cbecause there's something
| need to say. | wanted to ask the old man’s help, but now only you can help."
"Go ahead, say anything you want. I'll try to help." Yan Kai pulled a chair to sit opposite her.
Yang Hongying’s eyes turned red, "I have someone, and | need to meet his family."
Yan Kai stared surprised, that fast?
Yang Hongying made up her mind and told all at once, choosing to face it head on, cwhat may!
Yan Kai listened with his brows furrowed tightly as the situation unfolded—it was Gu Junming’s brother!
After Yan Hongying finished, she quietly looked at her cousin with deep anxiety—what if he refused to help?
"Do you know what kind of person his stepmother is?" he frowned. Wang Guihua was a very snobby woman, her
family background was good a few years ago, but after her parents died, it becobviously bad. Now, her
focus was finding a good match for her son. Yan Kai knew this well. Now, his cousin wanted to marry her son—

Yang Hongying lowered her head, nervously playing with her fingers, "But Gu Juntao promised he would help me,
and he wants to walk this road together with me. | feel we can make it if we try hard and..."
"Don’t be silly!" Yan Kai waved his hand, "He's three years younger than you; he’s still a kid. How could he have
such ability? Stop dreaming. I'll speak with the old man and find you a good match."
"But I..."
"You and Gu Juntao won't work, better break up soon."
Yang Hongying’s eyes were full of tears, aggrieved and sad, "Cousin, | really like him. Can you help me? Just let
don’t accept me, I'll be willing to accept it."
Yan Kai looked at his cousin who had already lost her parents, and a husband, and remembered her haggard face
at that time; how could he hurt her heart now? Never mind, might as well let her try.
Thinking this, Yan Kai said, "Alright, I'll help you look into it, say what needs to be said for you, but we both know
what the outcmight be; to be honest, I'm not optimistic."
Yang Hongying wiped her tears, "I understand, if it doesn’t work out, so be it. At least I tried."
Yan Kai worried she might get humiliated, but since she was willing, what else could he do?
That night, Yang Hongying stayed at Yan Kai's hand joined for noodles.
Yang Hongying was very reserved when seeing Mr. Yan; she was timid since childhood and could not be
ingratiating. The Yan Family wasn’t close, but Mr. Yan always cared for her without blaming her reticence.
"Doesn't Hong Ying seem to have something on her mind? Doesn't look well?" Mr. Yan asked.
Yang Hongying panicked as she glanced towards Yan Kai.
