Chapter 96: Future Son-in-Law

Ji Yanting’s heart skipped a beat.

 He couldn’t help but quicken his pace and rushed towards the two people.

Could that person be Yaoyao’s boyfriend?

“What’s the rush?” Seeing Ji Yanting’s hurried appearance, Ling Xuemei could only helplessly quicken her pace.

The closer Ji Yanting got to the figure, the more familiar the back seemed. He felt like he had seen it somewhere.

Ling Yao also saw Ji Yanting and Ling Xuemei walking towards them. She was slightly surprised. She thought they had gone back, “Dad! Mom!”

Hearing this, Lu Qingyun couldn’t help but feel a surge of nervousness.

He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. This was the first time he was meeting his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

 It was definitely very important. He had to make a good impression on them.

He straightened his collar, cleared his throat, and forced a smile.

Seeing Lu Qingyun’s nervous expression, Ling Yao couldn’t help but laugh softly, “You don’t have to be so nervous.”

Ji Yanting’s gaze was fixed on Lu Qingyun’s back.

The man’s spine was straight, like a towering pine tree, strong and powerful, exuding an air of steadiness and confidence.

Lu Qingyun took a deep breath and slowly turned around.

When Ji Yanting saw the man’s face, he was completely stunned. He didn’t even notice that the ice cream and soda bottle in his hands had fallen to the ground. Wasn’t that Lu Qingyun? How could he be with Yaoyao? No wonder he thought his back looked familiar.

When Ling Xuemei saw Lu Qingyun, she smiled with satisfaction. This young man was so handsome!

“Uncle! Auntie! Hello! I’m Lu Qingyun.” Lu Qingyun smiled politely, nodded slightly at them, and his slightly clenched jaw inadvertently revealed a hint of nervousness.

“Hello! Hello!” Ling Xuemei smiled warmly, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

 She looked Lu Qingyun up and down, liking him more and more.

“How did you end up with Yaoyao?” Ji Yanting’s gaze was as sharp as an eagle’s, scrutinizing Lu Qingyun.

Lu Qingyun met Ji Yanting’s stern gaze, straightened his posture, and answered confidently and unyieldingly,

 “Yaoyao and I are currently dating.” His voice was firm and powerful.

Ling Yao stepped forward and took Lu Qingyun’s hand, “Dad! Mom! Let me formally introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Lu Qingyun.”

Lu Qingyun felt the warmth of her hand and heard Ling Yao’s words. His heart beat uncontrollably faster, filled with excitement and deep joy.

 He tightened his grip on Ling Yao’s hand, “Uncle! Auntie! Please believe me. I’m sincere about Yaoyao. I will be good to her for the rest of my life.”

Ji Yanting’s brows were tightly furrowed, almost able to pinch a fly to death, “Come with me. I have some questions for you.”

“Okay, Uncle!” Lu Qingyun reluctantly let go of Ling Yao’s hand, gave her a gentle smile, and followed Ji Yanting.

When they reached a distance of about fifty meters from Ling Yao and Ling Xuemei, Ji Yanting stopped.

His gaze fell on Lu Qingyun, “How did you meet Yaoyao? Do your family know about your relationship?” He had always admired Lu Qingyun.

 He was a capable and responsible young man, but his family was too complicated.

“I met Yaoyao three months ago. She saved my cousin.

 My grandfather and parents already know about my relationship with Yaoyao. They are very supportive.

After Yaoyao finishes her exams, I will take her back to meet them.”

Ji Yanting nodded slightly and continued, “You know the situation with your Lu family.

I don’t think it’s suitable for Yaoyao.” He was also born into a big family and naturally knew the difficulties of being born into one.

He just wanted Yaoyao to be happy and content.

Lu Qingyun understood Ji Yanting’s concerns. He had also considered this issue.

He looked at Ji Yanting seriously, “I understand your worries. I’ve already made up my mind.

After Yaoyao and I get married, I will take her to join the army. I won’t let her get involved in the Lu family’s conflicts.

I will do my best to protect Yaoyao.

I won’t let her get hurt in any way. Please believe me. I will also prove it with my actions.”

Ji Yanting looked at Lu Qingyun. The seriousness in his eyes was gradually replaced by a hint of relief.

He knew Lu Qingyun was a trustworthy person, but he still couldn’t help but remind him, “I hope you remember your promise today. Yaoyao is my treasure.

I don’t want her to get hurt. If you ever make her sad, I won’t let you off.”

Lu Qingyun nodded solemnly, “I will, Uncle. I will cherish Yaoyao just like you do. I will make her happy forever.”

On the other side, Ling Xuemei was also asking Ling Yao about her and Lu Qingyun,

 “Yaoyao, how did you meet Lu Qingyun? He doesn’t look like an ordinary person based on his aura.”

Ling Yao briefly told Ling Xuemei how she met Lu Qingyun, “Lu Qingyun is from the Lu family in Beijing.

He’s currently serving as a battalion commander in the Beijing Military Region.”

Ling Xuemei nodded with satisfaction, “He’s a good young man. But… big families are quite complicated.

 What if his family doesn’t approve of you being together?”

She thought of herself and Ji Yanting. If Ji Yanting had been an ordinary person, they wouldn’t have been separated for so many years.

She didn’t want her daughter to repeat her mistakes and experience the same pain and waiting.

Ling Yao looked in the direction where Lu Qingyun was standing. She smiled slightly, confident and beautiful,

“I believe in him. And I believe in myself.” She was no longer the same person she was in her previous life. The current her couldn’t be bullied so easily.

If one day she and Lu Qingyun were to separate, it would definitely be because they no longer had feelings for each other, not because of external factors.

“Okay, just make sure you know what you’re doing. But you have to protect yourself.

Don’t give yourself away before you get married.” Ling Xuemei advised. She was a veteran, and she knew the importance of reputation for a girl.

“I know, Mom!” Ling Yao smiled in the direction where Lu Qingyun was standing. She had excellent hearing.

Even though they were so far apart, she could hear their conversation clearly. She heard every word Lu Qingyun said.

Ji Yanting and Lu Qingyun walked over side by side, both with a hint of a smile on their faces.

Ling Yao smiled at Lu Qingyun.

Lu Qingyun walked up to Ling Yao, his face full of happiness, “Yaoyao, your father has agreed to us being together.”

“Don’t get too excited. I’ll be watching your performance.” Ji Yanting’s voice was cool.

He was still a little unhappy. He had only just reunited with his daughter, and she was about to be taken away by this stinky boy.

“Don’t worry, Uncle. I will definitely perform well and strive to gain your approval.”

 Lu Qingyun looked serious, his eyes full of determination and resolve.
