The four brothers of the Lu Family were all renowned for being smart and wise, handsome and suave. Given that they were already from a background way better than most people, these four of them were destined to be dragons amongst men.

These were people that women of the rich and powerful would fight and scuffle over even from their youths.

Out of them, the earliest to get married was not the 1st or 2nd, but the 3rd.

3rd sister in law… This was the wife of the 3rd Young Master Lu.

But… to refer to her as 3rd sister in law! That was an intricate introduction that brought with it a sense of closeness.

Immediately, Shi Guang’s ears flushed tomato red in embarrassment as she smiled out shyly, “Hello!”

The 3rd sister in law smiled back at Shi Guang conservatively, “Hello, I am Yan Miaoke!”

Shi Guang smiled out.

Miaoke’s attitude toward her could not be considered as affectionate—it was just polite. Yet, there was a sense of warmth in that politeness.

Was this what the world meant by a well-bred woman of a noble family?

Wang Caichun had once gossiped to her that the only married son of the Lu Family was the 3rd Young Master Lu.

The 3rd Young Master Lu—Lu Huainan—was rumored to have the shrewdest mind out of the four of them. Always wearing smiles on his face, one could never ever guess his intent through his actions.

He did not follow in the footsteps of Father Lu or their 1st Brother to join the military. His ambitions had always been toward politics.

For the young, 26 years old Lu Huainan, he was already making winds for himself in the political scene.

In that, his background as someone from the Lu Family definitely played a part. However, most of it was because of his exceptional capabilities.

And his wife was no ordinary person as well. Graduating from a famous school in England, she had already obtained her Masters by the time she was 22. Back in her schooling days, she had no lack of suitors, mostly from rather decent family backgrounds as well. However, she took notice of none of them, standing high and tall by herself.

But of course, the reason she could be so prideful—other than her own talents—was her dazzling family background. If one were to say that the Lus were an aristocratic military family, the Yans were an aristocratic political family.

When two people of such exceptionalities were attracted mutually, causing their families of equal statuses to be matched in a formidable matrimony of convenience, this was something that could have people die of envy.

And even though it was a matrimony of convenience, both of them lived in bliss. After all, they were childhood sweethearts.

As Wang Caichun got to that, she confessed that she was in full admiration of that point of theirs.

“Sister!!” Xiao Bai rushed out of the kitchen and pounced toward Shi Guang.

“Haha, you brat! Why do you just love to stick to sister that much? Don’t you see 3rd Aunt over here?” Shen Lingshuang chuckled out in smiles.

At that, Xiao Bai stood up rigid and well behaved, calling out in a prim and proper manner that was neither friendly nor cold, “Greetings, 3rd Aunt!”

“Good boy, Xiao Bai!” Yan Miaoke smiled out warmly.

“Sister, won’t you play with me?” Xiao Bai tugged at Shi Guang’s arm and swung it left and right. But, before she could reply, Shen Lingshuang spoke first, “It’s time for your afternoon nap. Don’t keep bothering sister now.”

After that, she stood up and escorted the unhappy Xiao Bai personally upstairs for his afternoon nap.

The moment they were gone, there was only Shi Guang and Yan Miaoke left in the living room. The atmosphere in the air suddenly turned slightly awkward. In order to diffuse that uncomfortable tension, Shi Guang casually asked, “I heard that you went to university in England… Which of those famous schools were you in?”

Yan Miaoke glanced over at Shi Guang as a trace of amusement flashed by that quiet face of hers. She replied gently, “Even though I studied in a famous school in England and obtained my Masters, none of that has anything to do with my family background!!”

Shi Guang: “…”

She was declaring that be it her surname or her school or her background, none of that mattered—she achieved everything through her own capabilities!

Was she misunderstanding something?

But, she was a prideful person, so there was naturally no need for her to misunderstand anything… The only other explanation would be that beneath that warm and gentle face of hers was a sense of elitism that seeped right out of her bones.
