The Long-awaited Mr Han

3580 Untitled

Jiang Huaizhou felt grateful to Mrs. Dong for her role in advancing his relationship.

Jiang Huaizhou then quickly said, “How about you just call me Huaizhou?”

Dong Yujie felt embarrassed as she glanced over at Mrs. Dong.

She felt too embarrassed to call him that in front of Mrs. Dong.

Mrs. Dong smiled and encouraged, “Just try calling him that. You will have to get used to it eventually. You can’t refer to him as your brother. People will misunderstand.”

Since Mrs. Dong said so, Dong Yujie had no choice but to try calling.

She took a deep breath, but the words were on the tip of her tongue, and her tongue didn’t want to move. No matter what, she couldn’t call him “Huaizhou.”

However, Jiang Huaizhou was staring at her intensely, refusing to give Dong Yujie any chance to regret and delay this.

Dong Yujie chose not to look at him. With the back of her head facing him, she forced herself to say, “Huai… Huaizhou…”

Dong Yujie started beating rapidly. She felt as if she had just ridden a roller coaster.

Although she had called him that in the morning…

However, that was because she heard Qu Mengyu calling him by his name.

Dong Yujie had done it merely to roast Qu Mengyu. She wasn’t really serious when she said it.

She only said it in a sarcastic way.

Obviously, when he called his name this time, it felt different.

Upon hearing Dong Yujie call him by his name, Jiang Huaizhou felt as though he could eat three bowls of rice with ease.

“That’s right!” Mrs. Dong said happily. “That’s how a couple should behave.”

“Mom is right.” Jiang Huaizhou said as well.

Dong Yujie couldn’t help but laugh.

Mrs. Dong said, “By the way, you two were talking about buying a house. Have you guys already decided to buy a house?”

“Mhm,” getting back to the main topic, Dong Yujie said, “Huaizhou said that once we get married, it will not feel very stable living in a rented place. So, he wants to take a loan to buy a house.”

“Why does it have to be this troublesome? We can just trade houses.” Mrs. Dong said, “This house is big. It’s a waste for me to stay here by myself. You two can stay here, and I can stay in the smaller house.”

“Is Huaizhou’s rental a two-bedroom?” Mrs. Dong asked.

“Mhmm.” Jiang Huaizhou nodded.

“That sounds good. If the lease on Huaizhou’s current place hasn’t ended by the time you two get married, I’ll move over there, and you two can stay here,” said Mrs. Dong.

“How can I let that happen?” Jiang Huaizhou immediately said, “How can I let you stay in a rental?”

“Why not? Besides, your company is at a crucial stage right now. I already felt bad when you bought two houses all at once.” Mrs. Dong said.

“Why not just buy a small apartment, either a one or two-bedroom? Mom can live by herself. This way you won’t have to spend too much money. Your company is still in an upward phase and not yet stable. Don’t let buying a house weigh you down.” Dong Yujie said, “Mom is right, your company is in an ascending period, it hasn’t stabilized yet. Don’t be weighed down by a house.”

This house was indeed a little too big for Mrs. Dong to live alone.

Mrs. Dong lived here by herself, so two rooms would be left unused.

If Dong Yujie and Jiang Huaizhou move into this house, it would be just right in line with Jiang Huaizhou’s original plan.

And if he bought a house with one or two bedrooms, it would be less stressful for him.

“Good. The lease for my rental is ending in half a year. I’ll go check out the houses available at the real estate agency. If I find a suitable one, I’ll buy it, ” said JiangHuaizhou. After all, it’s hard to find a new housing development in the city center of City B these days.

There wasn’t enough land.

If they wanted to live in the city, they would have to choose to buy a second-hand house.

Even so, second-hand houses were at sky-high prices.

“If I buy this house, I would need to renovate it, which will take at least half a year.” Jiang Huaizhou started planning.

His lease would end at around that time.

Mrs. Dong nodded and said, “That’s what we will do then.”

After dinner, Jiang Huaizhou and Dong Yujie helped Mrs. Dong tidy up the table. They refused to let Mrs. Dong do anything.

“Mom, you already worked hard preparing the dinner. Just don’t bother doing the other things.” Jiang Huaizhou said.

However, there was already a dishwasher in the house.

As such, they didn’t need to handwash the dishes.

However, they still had to wipe the table.

After they had cleaned up everything, Jiang Huaizhou appeared to be stalling and refusing to leave.

Mrs. Dong then asked with a smile, “Huaizhou, do you want to sleep here tonight?”

Jiang Huaizhou then looked over, brimming with joy. Mrs. Dong then said, “Your room is ready. I clean your room every day. But because you don’t live here, I was afraid that the pillows would get dusty outside, so I put them away.”

“If you want to stay, I can bring them out for you. They’re clean,” Mrs. Dong said.

Jiang Huaizhou obviously wanted to stay. “Then I will stay.”

He didn’t even hesitate.

Mrs. Dong then smiled and said, “Sure. I will tidy up your room for you.”

Dong Yujie knew that her relationship with Jiang Huaizhou was rather different from the relationship of other couples.

After all, they had lived together since young. This wasn’t something unfamiliar.

Even though their relationship had changed, Jiang Huaizhou staying the night here didn’t make Dong Yujie feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Huaizhou still left a lot of his clothes here.

His pajamas were left here as well.

It was very convenient for Jiang Huaizhou to stay here.

Jiang Huaizhou thought about it and said, “Why don’t I just move back here?”

Mrs. Dong had just tidied up the room when she came back and heard this.

She then said, “Sure. It will be very exciting if you live here, but your dad will be living by himself, and he will be very lonely. Will your dad be happy if he found out that you came to live with us?”

“If I were your dad, I would feel sad. It’s like a gathering of a family, but I am excluded and abandoned. Is that even appropriate?” Mrs. Dong said.

Jiang Huaizhou pondered and said, “I didn’t think it through.”

“You can stay here occasionally, but you can’t stay here all the time.” Mrs. Dong said, “I am not saying this because you are not welcomed here.”

“I know.” Jiang Huaizhou said with a smile.

Mrs. Dong had considered reasonable things.

If all three of them were here having fun together and Mr. Jiang was at home by himself…

No matter how you think about this, it’s sad.

This was why Jiang Huaizhou decided to move out and live alone.

The first reason was that it was more convenient for him to do work if he was living by himself.

The other reason was to prevent one person from feeling lonely if he were to accompany the other.

And so, he decided to live by himself.

He would alternate and visit one house per week. Thus, it would be very fair.

Jiang Huaizhou suddenly said seriously, “Mom and Yujie, I have something to say.”

“Say it.” Mrs. Dong stared at Jiang Huaizhou with a smile as she wondered why Jiang Huaizhou suddenly started behaving seriously.

Dong Yujie looked at Jianghuai puzzledly.

Why was he suddenly so serious?

Jiang Huaizhou cleared his throat and said, “Mom, I want to marry Yujie.”

Mrs. Dong froze.

Before Mrs. Dong even reacted, Jiang Huaizhou said to Dong Yujie, “Yujie, will you marry me?”

Dong Yujie froze.

They just started dating today. And now, they were already getting married?

Mrs. Dong then asked, “I’m not against that. I’m just surprised. I thought you two just started dating today?”
