“Jin Nian is mine now. How can you casually hit my wife?” Lu An remained composed, a faint smile playing on his features. If one didn’t know better, they might have thought he was negotiating with someone.

This statement was like adding fuel to the fire.

Beside him, Jin Nian barely dared to take a deep breath. She quickly reached out and tugged at Lu An’s sleeve, urgently signaling him with her eyes, “Don’t make things more complicated!”

Teacher Tan, who had been ignoring Lu An’s presence until now, couldn’t contain herself any longer. She shot up from the sofa, exclaiming with indignation. “Lu An, regardless of anything, Jin Nian is the daughter 1 raised from birth. When did she become yours? Do you have any shame?”

“You’re well aware that Jin Nian is a child you raised from birth. Moreover, she’s a woman. No matter how angry you are, you can’t slap her face. Seeing her like this, does it make you feel better?” Lu An advanced towards Teacher Tan step by step, his presence commanding.

For those unaware, it might seem like he was about to confront Teacher Tan physically.

However, in the next moment, he bent his knees and knelt before Teacher Tan. His gaze was clear and sincere, his tone humble and respectful as he spoke, “If you’re angry, you can direct it at me. This is my fault, not Jin Nian’s.”

Seeing him kneel, Jin Nian quickly followed suit.

After all, there was only their family in the room, and there was nothing particularly embarra.s.sing about it.

Lu An knelt with a serious expression, facing Teacher Tan as if awaiting her judgment.

Jin Nian couldn’t help but steal a glance at him. He had been a charmer from a young age, always getting his way. He had never appeared so stifled before.

It was she who had been impulsive about marriage, and at most, he had been swayed by her.

Jin Nian still felt a twinge of guilt.

Teacher Tan was still seething. She raised her hand and struck Lu An’s shoulder. “Lu An, you grew up with Niannian. You know very well how I’ve treated you.”

Lu An nodded slightly. “Both you and Uncle Jin have treated me as a half-son. Anything delicious or fun at home, I’ve always had my share.”

Teacher Tan retorted, “Your mother’s always been busy with work, and I worried you’d be scared staying at home alone, so I asked you to come and keep Niannian company. It’s like I’ve let a wolf into my home!”

Lu An silently held Jin Nian’s hand, then lifted his head to address Teacher Tan with a respectful tone, “I know you’ve treated me well and cared for me.” “Know?” Teacher Tan chuckled in exasperation. “You know? Is this how you’re repaying me? Jin Nian, are you being reasonable? Do you understand that every one of her actions affects more than just her?”

“Teacher Tan, we’re not just playing around.” Lu An firmly held Jin Nian’s hand and even cast her an affectionate sidelong glance.

Kneeling on the ground, Jin Nian felt a sense of detachment and confusion.

Lu An was back, and she didn’t have to be afraid anymore. She believed Lu An could perfectly handle this situation.

Therefore, no matter what Lu An said, Jin Nian felt that he was just acting for the sake of expediency. After all, things had happened too suddenly, so he had to put on a little show.

“Teacher, Jin Nian likes me, and I love her too. We’ve thought this through carefully. We’re not playing around. Since we’re married, it’s definitely for a lifetime.” Lu An’s sudden words made Jin Nian’s skin p.r.i.c.kle.

Wasn’t this acting going a bit too far?

Jin Nian couldn’t help but mentally warn him, “Be careful, if it’s too fake, Teacher Tan will see through it.”

“I didn’t inform you in advance, and that was my mistake. Things at my company have been hectic lately, which is why I rushed here as soon as my plane landed today. Marriage isn’t a game, and my feelings for Jin Nian are genuine. Whatever others possess, I’ll give to Jin Nian, and I’ll work hard to provide for her anything that’s lacking.”

“I desire a formal marriage, adhering to proper ceremonies. I’ll give Niannian a splendid wedding.”

Lu An’s eloquence seemed capable of resurrecting the dead.

Hearing Lu An “explanation”, Teacher Tan’s expression softened somewhat.

“Teacher, can you consider my consistent respect and grant me another chance? After all, Niannian truly has feelings for me.”

As Lu An spoke, he secretly squeezed Jin Nian’s palm.

Jin Nian reacted swiftly, knowing that it was her turn to speak. “Mom, we truly realize our mistakes. Our love is genuine, really…”

Before she could finish, her face turned a deep shade of red. She didn’t possess Lu An’s natural acting talent, so she couldn’t just open her mouth and speak..
