DLSRWAR Chapter 58 Meeting the parents before even starting a relationship?

Ye Hancheng had no interest in the gift his old father brought, but since his old father was determined to see his youngest son, he hung up the phone after saying that.

When he tried to call back, his old father didn’t answer.

Ye Hancheng: “…”

Dad, if you scare off your daughter-in-law before I even get the chance, don’t blame me if I get angry.

Seeing the young man’s complex expression, Qin Yumian tilted her head slightly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Hancheng sighed, “My dad is coming over.”

Qin Yumian looked at him, puzzled, “You don’t want to see your dad?”

“It’s not that.” Ye Hancheng rubbed his hair, “I’m worried that you might not want to meet my family.”

Qin Yumian asked, “Why would you think that?”

Ye Hancheng was taken aback, “You mean, you’re willing to meet my family?”

Qin Yumian: “…”

The way this was said made it sound like a couple planning whether to meet each other’s parents before marriage.

Qin Yumian sincerely suggested, “I think you should also ask Jiajia if she’s willing.”

Ye Hancheng: “…”

Hao Jiajia had toured the entire villa and felt that Ye Hancheng and Qin Yumian had spent enough time alone, so she returned to the living room.

Qin Yumian went to the bathroom.

Seizing the chance, Hao Jiajia approached Ye Hancheng, “Dad, how’s it going? How’s the progress with Class Monitor Qin?”

Ye Hancheng cleared his throat modestly, “I just hugged Class Monitor Qin for a minute.”

Hao Jiajia was stunned for a few seconds, “Fuck, Brother Han, you’re really impressive.”

He hugged Class Monitor Qin and didn’t even get hit.

Ye Hancheng added, “By the way, my dad will come over soon. You…”

Hao Jiajia interrupted, “Isn’t this moving a bit too fast? Meeting the parents before even starting a relationship?”

Ye Hancheng replied, “… Class Monitor Qin only sees this as meeting the family of a regular friend.”

Hao Jiajia: “…”

Hao Jiajia could only offer a few words, “Brother Han, good luck.”

…

Ye Zhizhou returned home from work and happened to run into his old father who was about to go out.

He nodded lightly, “You’re back.”

Ye Jingyuan also had a neutral expression, “Mm.”

Out of concern for the father-son relationship, Ye Zhizhou asked, “Where are you going?”

Ye Jingyuan replied, “I’m going to Jade Moon Bay to find your younger brother.”

At this, Ye Zhizhou’s eyes flickered slightly, “Did Chengzi agree to you going?”

Ye Jingyuan gave him a puzzled look, “Why wouldn’t he?”

Ye Zhizhou said flatly, “Chengzi transferred schools.”

“Why the sudden decision to transfer?” Ye Jingyuan frowned, “Which school did he transfer to?”

Ye Zhizhou responded, “Sangcheng No. 2 High School.”

Ye Jingyuan pondered for a few seconds, “Is there such a school in the capital?”

“No.” Ye Zhizhou’s voice was indifferent, “It’s in City H.”

Ye Jingyuan’s gaze sharpened, “Why did he go to City H?”

Ye Zhizhou told his old father about the recent events but omitted the true reason for Ye Hancheng’s transfer.

Ye Jingyuan’s expression was hard to describe, “Did Chengcheng really transfer just to study hard and get into Tsinghua-Peking University?”

Ye Zhizhou maintained a calm demeanor and nodded, “Yes.”

“When did Chengcheng become so determined?” Ye Jingyuan questioned with skepticism.

Ye Zhizhou casually remarked, “Don’t you believe he can get into Tsinghua-Peking University?”

“With his grades, he might make it into Tsinghua Tongfang, but not Tsinghua-Peking University.” It wasn’t that the old father looked down on his own son.

It was just that Ye Hancheng’s scores, apart from his English, barely added up to a hundred points.

With just over two hundred points, how could he get into Tsinghua-Peking University? Even though he was a local in the capital, they wouldn’t admit someone with only two hundred points.

Ye Zhizhou reminded him calmly, “Don’t let Chengzi hear you say that.”

Ye Jingyuan: “…”

The old father felt slightly embarrassed, “Got it.”

Ye Zhizhou took his coat off the hanger again, “Since I have nothing to do, I’ll go with you.”

He was only accompanying his old father because he was alone, not specifically to see his foolish younger brother’s sweetheart.

Ye Jingyuan was unaware of his eldest son’s thoughts and nodded, “Alright, let’s go.”

The father and son took the same car and headed straight to Jade Moon Bay.

At Jade Moon Bay at that time.

Qin Yumian, unable to stay idle, helped Aunt Wen in the kitchen. Ye Hancheng was playing games in the upstairs game room, and Hao Jiajia was chatting with friends in the Little Sheep support group.

Aunt Wen was surprised to see how efficient Qin Yumian was, “Do you know how to cook?”

Qin Yumian, peeling garlic, replied, “I only know how to make a few simple home dishes.”

“That’s still very good.” Aunt Wen praised her.

Qin Yumian smiled with the corners of her mouth turned up, her head slightly lowered, revealing a delicate, white neck with prominent bone structure.

Aunt Wen discreetly asked, “Miss Qin, are you from Sancheng?”

Qin Yumian responded, “Yes, I’ve lived in Sancheng since I was young.”

“Who’s in your family?”

“Grandpa and little brother.”

Aunt Wen asked, “What about your parents?”

Qin Yumian’s hand paused momentarily in peeling the garlic.

Her voice was flat as she said, “They passed away.”

Aunt Wen realized she had asked the wrong question and was about to say something comforting when Ye Hancheng suddenly ran in.

“Class Monitor Qin, let’s go pick grapes in the yard.” He had seen that the grapevines in the yard had already produced clusters of purple grapes.

Aunt Wen said, “Miss Qin, you and the Little Young Master should go and have fun. The kitchen is filled with smoke, which isn’t good for your skin.”

Qin Yumian knew Aunt Wen was trying to keep her from dwelling on the loss of her parents and was subtly encouraging her to get some fresh air and shift her focus.

She didn’t want to make things difficult for Aunt Wen, so she put down the peeled garlic and followed Ye Hancheng outside.

The warm, golden sunset hung in the sky, turning half the sky into a shade of orange-red. The air was filled with the fresh scents of grass and flowers.

As Qin Yumian walked beside Ye Hancheng, feeling the gentle breeze, she felt completely relaxed.

Ye Hancheng, as soon as he was outside, acted like an excited puppy, rushing to the flowerbed. He squatted down and picked a few bright rose branches, then quickly moved back to Qin Yumian.

He handed her the thornless flowers, “Class Monitor Qin, these are for you.”

Qin Yumian glanced at him, “Aren’t we here to pick grapes?”

Though she said that, she still reached out and accepted the flowers.

Picking grapes was just an excuse; Ye Hancheng simply wanted to spend some alone time with his wife.

Ye Hancheng led her to a wooden bench, “Class Monitor Qin, sit here for a while. I’ll go pick some grapes.”

Qin Yumian: “…”

Watching him dash off to the grapevine, Qin Yumian gently stroked the delicate flower petals and thought: Maybe the capital isn’t so bad after all.

It wasn’t long before Ye Hancheng returned with a bunch of grapes. He peeled off the skin, revealing the plump, juicy flesh, and took a bite himself.

Then he peeled another grape and held it up to Qin Yumian’s mouth, “Class Monitor Qin, try this. It’s quite sweet.”

Qin Yumian looked at the glistening fruit, paused for a moment, and then took a bite.

As the young man had said, it was indeed very sweet.
