Chapter 406: Daughter-in-law (2)
Zhao Shunrong swept a meaningful glance at Han Yichen as he said that. He did not need to tell him the rest as he understood. They did not expect that the person who made the eldest young master of the Nie family put aside the family business to set up a new business with him would be their son.
“I never thought our family and the Nie family would have such a connection.” Zhao Youlin sighed and secretly thought to herself that this world was really small.
Duan Yarong was a little melancholic too. “Yes, I have heard Dad mention this once before too, but at that time, I simply did not connect them together… If we had been more careful at that time and paid more attention to that child of the Nie family, we might have already…”
Upon hearing that, Zhao Shunrong experienced a sentimental wave of emotions too, but he took it better than Duan Yarong. “Fate plays a huge role in this sort of thing. When the time has come, we will eventually meet no matter how far away we are; when the time has not come yet, we may just pass by each other even when we are on the same street.”
“That is true.” Upon hearing Zhao Shunrong say that, Duan Yarong also agreed with him, and she stopped dwelling on this subject.
“Speaking of which, we should all thank Youlin for this matter. If it were not for Youlin, we might have never once met him,” Duan Yarong said and beckoned Zhao Youlin over before pulling her over directly to sit down beside her.
Two important people sat by her side. On one side sat her son who she had always wanted, and on the other side sat her well-behaved and understanding daughter, who she did not need to worry about at all. Duan Yarong felt that her life was truly complete.
Zhao Youlin took the initiative to hold Duan Yarong’s arm. She playfully said, “Mom, this is all because you, Dad and Han Yichen are still bound by fate. All I have is just a meticulous eye, I do not dare to take the credit. However, there is one thing that I can ask for credit from you and Dad.”
“What is it?” Duan Yarong turned her head to look at Zhao Youlin inquiringly. Zhao Shunrong did the same.
Zhao Youlin gave Han Yichen a profound look and said in a mysterious manner, “This matter is related to your son.”
Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong exchanged glances with each other. Then, their eyes went back and forth between Zhao Youlin and Han Yichen, but they still could not figure out what she meant, so they had to ask Zhao Youlin again. “It is related to Chen? What exactly is going on? Youlin, tell us quickly. You are killing us with the suspense.”
“Alright. Mom, you really become impatient when it comes to my brother! Since you all said so, I will stop keeping you guessing. Actually, this time, I not only helped you find your son, but I have also incidentally found a future daughter-in-law for you.”
“Daughter-in-law!” This time, Duan Yarong was not the only one surprised, even Zhao Shunrong, whose eyes had only reddened once since the beginning and had maintained his usual calmness and self-control most of the time, could not help but reveal a little surprise on his face.
After the couple was done being surprised, they directly shifted their eyes to Han Yichen, seemingly hoping that Han Yichen could give them a reasonable explanation at this time.
Han Yichen was already aware of what Zhao Youlin was going to say the moment she looked over at him, though he did not intend to stop Zhao Youlin.
Not only did he not stop her, but when Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong looked over to his side, Han Yichen nodded affirmatively, confirming the truth of Zhao Youlin’s words.
For Han Yichen, An Yue was the only person he had chosen, and the only one who could be his wife. He would spend the rest of his life with her.
Since she was the person he had chosen, he had no reason to keep her presence a secret from the others. He had now acknowledged Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong; they were his family.
Although for Han Yichen, there would be no change in his decision whether Duan Yarong and Zhao approved of An Yue or not. He had chosen An Yue, but An Yue obviously would not think so.
Informing Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong about this matter in advance was not a bad thing, at least he could find out the attitude of the two people about this matter in advance.
It would be best if Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong could accept her. If they could not, he could also make early preparations. He would not allow anyone to hurt An Yue, even if those people were his family.
President Han had thought of a lot of things, but it had never occurred to him whether this girl was willing to become his one and only, and his wife.
Once Han Yichen gave the confirmation, Duan Yarong could no longer suppress her curiosity. She started talking to Zhao Youlin about the future daughter-in-law to whom she had not seen but only heard of.
“Youlin, Youlin, what exactly is going on? This daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law…”
“Mom, calm down. I have actually mentioned this daughter-in-law of yours to you before.”
“Mentioned her to me? Why don’t I have any memory of it at all?” Duan Yarong knitted her brows and went through her memories for quite some time, but she could remember it.
“What do you mean, no memory? Mom, didn’t you say at that time that that girl was good and kind-hearted, and when there was time, you would personally go see her and thank her?”
“I… said that?” Duan Yarong muttered in puzzlement. Then, it was like she suddenly remembered something. Her eyes brightened slightly “Hold on, are you talking about…?”
Zhao Youlin smiled. “Yes, that is right. It is the girl in my store who took my brother back from the street and took care of him for several months. That girl’s name is An Yue. She is a little younger than he is. She is a very shy girl, but she has a very good heart. She is also very gentle and hardworking.”
Zhao Youlin paused a little there and looked up to study Han Yichen. After confirming that he did not have any objection to what she said, she told them the story briefly about how they met and got to know each other, though she did not know whether it was love at first sight for them or whether their love blossomed over time.
After hearing that, Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong could not help but have some surprise appear on their faces.
It was a while before Duan Yarong smiled and said to Zhao Youlin, “Hearing you say that, Youlin, I would really like to meet this girl.”
“Mom, this is not something I can decide. If you really want to see the girl, you should ask Han Yichen first.”
Upon hearing Zhao Youlin say that, Duan Yarong immediately turned her gaze to Han Yichen.
Han Yichen met Duan Yarong’s inquiring gaze. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “You will scare her if you go over now. You can see her after a while.”
Duan Yarong did not expect to hear this reply from Han Yichen. She turned her head to look at Zhao Youlin and snorted. “Youlin, just look at him. He has not even married her yet, and he is already so protective of her. Once she marries into our family later, he will certainly treasure her even more! It’s just as the saying goes, sons forget their mothers after taking a wife.”
When Duan Yarlung said that, Zhao Youlin also could not help but laugh. She looked at Duan Yalong’s feigned angry look and teasingly said, “Mom, are you seriously jealous of your future daughter-in-law?”
