Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: A Simple “Love Rival

“You two are seriously limitless in showing off your love!”

“Sizhe, why does it sound so awkward coming from your mouth? Are you talking about yourself?” Jian Dan asked, gesturing with her chin toward Yuanyuan standing beside her.

“Of course I’m not talking about myself. I’m just feeling sad for all the single souls present here. Me? How could I possibly be tormented by love? What a joke!” Sizhe said, trying to sound tough.

“Since when have you been so kind-hearted?”

“I’ve always been kind! Haven’t you heard the saying ‘a doctor’s heart is a benevolent one’? As a doctor, caring for others is perfectly normal,” he insisted.

“Uncle, how come I feel like throwing up even though I haven’t started eating yet?”

“What are you all talking about?” Shang Simiao approached and inquired.

“Uncle Simiao, long time no see~” Jian Dan greeted Shang Simiao.

“Jian Jian is here too, getting prettier and prettier!”

“Cough cough~” Chu Liyuan deliberately coughed twice after hearing Shang Simiao’s comment.

This guy was still the same, he never had any reasoning when it came to matters concerning Jian Dan.

But today should be really interesting! Shang Simiao thought to himself.

Actually, there would be a special guest today, and this person’s relationship with Chu Liyuan was no ordinary one. Before he met Jian Dan, she was probably the only person who could render Chu Liyuan powerless.

Shang Simiao intentionally didn’t inform Chu Liyuan of her return today because he wanted to see how Chu Liyuan would handle it. Catching Chu Liyuan off guard was not an easy feat.

Chu Liyuan could sense something was amiss from Shang Simiao’s smile and felt that something might happen today, but in his wildest dreams, he didn’t expect it to be her return.

“Uncle Chu~” Before Chu Liyuan could figure out what was going on with Shang Simiao, there was already someone in his arms…

This person he didn’t need to see the face; he knew who it was just from the voice, “Little Ying?”

“Uncle Chu, it has been so long, did you miss me?” A young, innocent face smiled up at Chu Liyuan.

Chu Liyuan was originally holding Jian Dan’s hand, but the force of the embrace had caused their hands to part.

Jian Dan watched the scene before her in a daze~

The moment Chu Liyuan realized he was being hugged, he quickly pushed Little Ying away and turned his head to look in Jian Dan’s direction…

“Uncle Chu, what are you looking at?” Little Ying also turned her gaze toward Jian Dan.

Little Ying walked slowly towards Jian Dan, “Are you Jian Dan?” she asked bluntly.

It was only then that Jian Dan came back to her senses, “You are…?”

“Chen Xirui~ I’ve been by Uncle Chu’s side since I was little. I’m Uncle Chu’s favorite person!” Chen Xirui introduced herself confidently.

“Favorite…” Jian Dan’s tongue suddenly tied, and she couldn’t speak clearly.

“Little Ying, don’t talk nonsense!” Chu Liyuan interjected, noticing Jian Dan’s expression.

“I’m not talking nonsense! I am Uncle Chu’s favorite person!”

“Little Ying?” But wasn’t her name Chen Xirui?

“In this world, only Uncle Chu can call me Little Ying!” Chen Xirui spoke, hands on her hips.

Chu Liyuan walked over to Jian Dan’s side, tightly holding her hand, “You are my favorite~ junior!

This is my wife, and you should consider her a senior. You can call her Aunt Jian!”

At the moment Chu Liyuan took her hand, Jian Dan’s heart settled a bit.

“I don’t acknowledge that! Uncle Chu, you said you would take care of me for life. Are you going back on your word?”

“I never regret what I’ve said. If I promised to take care of you, I will take care of you!”

“If you’re going to take care of me, then why did you marry her?”

“I will always take care of you as a senior, and that will never change.

As for why I married Jian Jian, that’s even simpler. It’s because I love her!”

“Uncle Chu, why do you love her? What’s so good about her? Am I not comparable to her?

You used to say I was too young, not mature enough, so I have always been improving myself, trying to become someone who matches you. But why is it that when I’m finally at the age to match you, you’ve married someone else?

And it’s a younger lass at that!”

“When you meet that person, you will realize that age has never been the issue!”

“Then why did you tell me that at the time?”

“It can only be said that you are not the destined one for me; consequently, age became an issue.

I think even if you had been the same age as me then, I likely would have found other reasons to reject you,” Chu Liyuan said candidly.

Chu Liyuan had such a straightforward explanation for a reason; that was to eliminate any doubts in Jian Jian’s mind and to tell her that she was indeed the one he loved the most!
