Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: Sending the Golden Dog

Lian He responded without hesitation. Facing his daughter, he felt it was necessary to clarify his stance, and he said, "Xiao Yue, your mother is living well today, happily married with Tang Zhengde, and I’m glad for her. Previously..."

Lian He paused before continuing, "The things in the past were my fault towards your mother. Let those bygones be bygones. After divorcing Xiang Yazhi, I didn’t remarry, not because of your mother, but because I felt there was no need to remarry. I’m fine being alone now."

In the last sentence, Lian He looked directly at Tang Yue, conveying a serious emotion through his gaze.

"I have to focus on the Lian Family’s business, on Xiao Yang and you, and even more on the two adorable grandchildren, Zaozao and Chenchen. I don’t feel lonely at all," Lian He said, with affection in his eyes when mentioning Zaozao and Chenchen.

"Dad, if you meet someone suitable, that’s great too," Tang Yue seized the chance to speak, "I believe Xiao Yang and I share the same thought. As long as you like her, we won’t oppose it."

"Let’s not talk about this anymore." Lian He wasn’t interested in this topic and changed the subject, saying, "Is the Jin Family satisfied with Xiao Yang? I think it might be good for Xiao Yang and Jin Yan to get engaged first, to have a title. Given Xiao Yang’s personality, who knows when he’ll bring it up."

"The Jin Family really likes Xiao Yang, and Grandpa Jin is a given; he took to Xiao Yang immediately. Mommy Jin is also very fond of this son-in-law. Only Mr. Jin might have some prejudice against Xiao Yang."

Tang Yue worried that Lian He might misunderstand and explained, "Mr. Jin may feel that Xiao Yan waited for Xiao Yang for so many years, plus, Jin Daddy only has this one precious daughter, naturally reluctant to let her be taken away."

"It’s human nature, I can understand that. If it were me..." Lian He paused, glancing at Tang Yue’s bright face. If, if he had recognized Xiao Yue earlier, if he had raised her by his side since childhood, he certainly wouldn’t want someone to take his daughter away.

However, by the time he recognized his daughter, Xiao Yue was already engaged. As an unacknowledged father, even if he felt uncomfortable, he had no standing to speak.

"Dad, even if I get married, I’ll still be your daughter, right?" Tang Yue said with a playful smile, peeling a banana for Lian He and handing it over, "Dad, have a banana. I think we can find a reason to invite the Jin Family over for a meal, and then we can discuss the marriage between the two families."

"Let’s do that," Lian He took the banana. Though he isn’t too fond of fruit, he found this banana delicious and said, "I’ll call your grandpa today. Your grandpa said he would come to Jing City this year for the New Year, and we can have a family reunion."

"Isn’t grandpa’s health poor? Wouldn’t traveling around be bad?" Tang Yue worriedly said, Meng Siyu didn’t take leave last Christmas and spent it at the company. This year, could he take leave?

"If your grandpa knows that Xiao Yang is getting married, he’ll be delighted and will fly straight to Jing City," Upon finishing, Lian He’s expression turned serious, "I forgot to tell the old man. If he finds out at the last minute, won’t he be angry?"

"Uh..." Tang Yue was startled by Lian He’s words, she cleared her throat, saying, "Dad, I mentioned it to grandpa last time, grandpa knows about Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan."

"That’s good."

Lian He visibly relaxed, smiling as he said, "Your grandpa’s biggest wish now is to see Xiao Yang get married and have children, and seeing Zaozao and Chenchen, his great-grandchildren, would be his happiest moments. He may be old, but he’s still very hearty recently."

"With the Jin Family’s marriage, if your grandpa can attend, it would show how much we value the Jin Family," Lian He explained, as he only has one son and one daughter. His daughter has married, and the Lian Family failed to stand strong for her. Now that his son is getting married, the necessary pomp should be there.

Originally, the plan was to invite the Jin Family to Sea City, as Sea City is the foundation of the Lian Family. But the marriage with the Jin Family hasn’t been finalized yet, and when it’s time to host the big banquet, it can be organized in Sea City then.

While Tang Yue was discussing Lian Qingyang’s marriage with Lian He, Lian Qingyang was on the other end picking up Jin Yan, who was returning from a business trip.

"Gold, I’m here," Lian Qingyang saw Jin Yan coming out from the airport and raised his hand high. Already handsome and full of sunshine, this gesture immediately drew many admiring glances.

Jin Yan, very afraid of the cold, was wearing a down jacket that reached her ankles, leaving just a palm-sized face visible. Amidst the bustling airport crowd, Jin Yan spotted Lian Qingyang right away.

Dragging her suitcase, Jin Yan’s lips curled into a smile, her eyes shining brightly at the dashing figure running towards her.

"Tired?" Lian Qingyang eagerly took Jin Yan’s suitcase, saying, "I brought you some treats."

"Not tired, what treats did you bring?" Jin Yan’s gaze scrutinized Lian Qingyang from top to bottom; Lian Qingyang had nothing in his hands.

Lian Qingyang acted mysteriously, changing the subject to ask about Jin Yan’s trip, and they walked away, chatting and laughing all the way.

Once in the car, he turned on the heat, and the car became cozy. He handed her some steaming roast duck, "I specially brought roast duck for you, the taste is great."

"It’s still warm."

Jin Yan took the roast duck. She hadn’t eaten much on the plane, and now her stomach felt empty. Upon seeing the roast duck, her eyes lit up, holding it, feeling the warmth from the bag.

"Smells wonderful."

Jin Yan opened the bag, finding chopsticks thoughtfully prepared inside. As she ate, she praised, "You queued up specifically to buy this, didn’t you?"

With just one bite, Jin Yan recognized it as from her favorite shop.

"Knowing you’ve been away, you’ll definitely crave this roast duck when you’re back."

Lian Qingyang said as he drove out of the airport, "There’s also soy milk and drinks beside you, see what you want, help yourself."

"Mm."

Jin Yan joyfully savored the duck, picked a piece of meat, and fed it to Lian Qingyang, "Lian Xiaoyang, I find you quite thoughtful."

Jin Yan had oily lips, shining brightly.

"Of course." Lian Qingyang replied with pride, relishing the duck meat Jin Yan fed him.

Jin Yan asked, "How’s Sister Xiao Yue?"

"Pretty good."

Lian Qingyang hesitated, the incident of Tang Yue being kidnapped was already past, better not mention it to Jin Yan, lest she worries.
