"What's wrong with that... Last time, Uncle Li Yan even said in front of my mom that he wanted to treat you all to a meal! Since you probably wouldn't fancy eating out, I'll cook for you myself at home!" That was during the meal at her place.
She had pushed Li Yanchen out of the room, and her mom scolded her for it.
Li Yanchen explained to her mom that she wasn't like that in front of her friends.
Her mom asked him if he had met her friends, and he said no, but that he would like the opportunity to treat them to a meal. Su Nuannuan remembered that even now.
At the time, she was actually quite touched. Uncle Li Yan didn't just stand up for her in front of strangers, he also protected her in front of her biological mother.
Su Nuannuan felt that she experienced all the fatherly love she had never felt growing up from Li Yanchen...
Often, she would think that if she had a father around... surely she would be cherished and protected like this, too.
