Lan Yiqing was finally convinced: "Alright then, as long as you like it, let's go with this one."
Then she took the jade pendant and said to the clerk: "Just this one, check out."
An Jiayou continued to object: "Grandma, I'll wear it directly!"
Lan Yiqing looked at him with delight: "Okay, let me do it!"
An Nan, not far away, was silently watching this interaction between grandmother and grandson, feeling suddenly warm inside, while also coming to terms with some things.
In the past ten plus years of her life, she had only her brother and Mom and Dad. However, after so many years, many things have changed. Just like her, there are now many other people in her life, so how can one ask that person to remain unchanged and always stay in the same place?
So let it be.
She has her life, and Brother has his own life now.
No matter what he chooses in the future, she won't interfere or oppose because it's his own life, and he should be accountable for his own choices.
