"What are you saying, Mom? Yiran brought her boyfriend here today. How would we dare bully her? We even have to call her boyfriend Mister," Third Aunt took the opportunity to quip.
Grandma was surprised. "Boyfriend? Yiran has a boyfriend now? Quick, let me meet him!"
"I'll bring him here then," said Ling Yiran as she got up and walked out of the room.
Third Aunt said somewhat unhappily, "What are you so happy about, Mom? Yiran's boyfriend looks like a toy boy. He might even be a fraud!"
In short, she did not want her niece to find a good boyfriend and one up her daughter.
"That's enough. Yiran is a cautious kid. She's not someone who would lose her head over someone’s words. I'll see if he's a fraud!" said Ling Yiran's grandmother.
Third Aunt pursed her lips. Grandma looked at Yi Jinli as Ling Yiran led him into the room. She said with a smile, "You're Yiran's boyfriend, aren't you? What's your name?"
Ling Yiran was about to help Yi Jinli introduce himself when the latter opened his mouth and replied, "My last name is Yi. You can call me Jin, Grandma."
There was some kind of respectful humility in Yi Jinli's voice; it surprised Ling Yiran a little. At least under normal circumstances, Ling Yiran had not heard Yi Jinli talk to other people in the same tone.
"Jin? Good. I'll call you Jin then," Grandma said with a smile. "Yiran is a good kid, but she has suffered a lot. You must treat her well."
"I will. She's the only person I've ever wanted in my life. I wouldn't choose anyone else over her," Yi Jinli said earnestly.
