Chapter 297: Chapter 297: I’ve Chosen Her
Lin Fu and Lin Mu looked towards the door, puzzled. Could it be their daughter-in-law?
Last night while discussing things, their daughter-in-law said she wouldn’t come because she’s in the late stages of pregnancy, can’t sit for too long, constantly needs to use the bathroom, and has no appetite due to the pressure on her stomach.
So, she wouldn’t come and decided that Lin Hao could attend instead.
Lin Fu and Lin Mu thought about it and agreed.
He Qi’an immediately stood up, "It should be Uncle Han."
Lin Fu and Lin Mu nodded. They had heard from their daughter before that this Uncle Han was from Grandpa Xiao He’s family.
Uncle Han, accompanied by a guard, brought some items. Seeing the door open, he hurriedly came in with a smile, carrying the items.
Lin Xiaoyan also walked to the door, "Hello, Uncle Han."
"Hi, Xiao Yan."
Lin Fu and Lin Mu noticed that Uncle Han was carrying so many items, and a young man was continuously moving things into the house. They couldn’t sit still.
"Why... why bring so much stuff!"
Lin Mu quickly walked over to help.
Uncle Han immediately stopped Lin Mu, "Mother-in-law, please don’t move, we’ve got it, you should sit down."
Mr. He also spoke up, "Yes, come back and sit, they can handle it."
Lin Hao came over, "Mom, you sit down, I’ll carry them."
With her son there, Lin Mu sat back down, "Oh dear, you came, but why bring so many things? We told Old Lin to tell Xiao He not to bring anything when you visit.
We’re just here to have a meal and chat, why be so courteous..."
Lin Fu: "Exactly, with all these items, you’re putting yourselves out."
Mr. He chuckled, "How could it be an imposition? From now on we’re family, giving items to family, how can that be burdensome!"
Hearing this, Lin Fu felt comforted.
Lin Xiaoyan and He Qi’an sat together listening to their parents chat, not able to get a word in.
At 11:30, He Qi’an checked the time and said, "Uncle, Auntie, I’ve booked a restaurant. Why don’t we head there and chat while we eat?"
Lin Fu nodded, "Okay."
Everyone got up and headed out.
He Qi’an reserved at the Four Directions Restaurant, and upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan exclaimed, "Why the Four Directions Restaurant, it’s so expensive."
He Qi’an laughed, "Even if it’s expensive, it should be, this is a very important meeting!"
Lin Xiaoyan: ...
It was Lin Fu, Lin Mu, and Lin Hao’s first time at the Four Directions Restaurant, and they were amazed by the decor as soon as they entered.
"This restaurant’s decor is really beautiful!" Lin Mu couldn’t help but exclaim, but immediately felt embarrassed.
With her comment, she felt it seemed like she hadn’t seen the world.
Though she really hadn’t seen such high-end places before, it wasn’t the right thing to say in this situation!!!
For a moment, Lin Mu felt incredibly guilty, thinking she’d embarrassed her daughter.
Noticing her mom’s discomfort, Lin Xiaoyan quickly said, "Yeah, the first time I came, I was blown away by the decorations too. Growing up, I had only seen such places on TV."
Grandpa He laughed at Lin Xiaoyan’s words, "Right, now people have the means to enjoy life.
Back in our day, forget about such places, we couldn’t even get meat..."
Mr. He nodded along from the side, agreeing.
Uncle Han began talking about the hardships he faced growing up.
Hearing the He Family helping to lighten the atmosphere, Lin Mu and Lin Fu felt very comforted.
Xiao He’s family was quite good and didn’t look down on them at all.
The meal was filled with joyful conversation.
At the end of the meal, Grandpa He glanced at his son, and Mr. He, catching the look, immediately addressed their reason for coming.
He looked at Lin Fu and smiled, "Brother Lin, this time we came mainly to meet you.
I’ve known Xiao Yan to be a genuinely good kid.
After meeting you today, I understand that it’s because of the excellent upbringing by you, the parents.
Brother Lin, you’ve raised these two children very well."
Hearing Mr. He’s words, Lin Fu’s face turned warm, and he felt a bit embarrassed by the praise.
He hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no..."
Although usually talkative, Lin Fu now found himself at a loss for words.
Beside him, Grandpa He gave his falsely modest son a sideways look, cleared his throat, and said, "Xiao Lin."
Lin Fu immediately sat upright, "Yes, Uncle He."
"When I found out about these two kids dating, I couldn’t have been happier.
I almost wanted them to get married immediately!"
Grandpa He looked at the bashful Lin Xiaoyan with a smile, "We met Xiao Yan last year in Beijing, and Qi An’s dad and I were very impressed.
Of course, it’s not because of anything else, we purely like Xiao Yan as a person!"
Hearing this last bit, Lin Fu and Lin Mu immediately understood Grandpa He’s meaning.
Even if they weren’t sure if it was the truth, as parents, hearing this made them happy.
"Xiao He is also a wonderful kid, we really like him," Lin Mu said with a smile.
Grandpa He nodded with a smile, "Deciding to meet you all was actually my decision.
Qi An kept saying it was too quick; they’ve known each other less than half a year.
But I don’t think it’s fast at all!"
Grandpa He: "In our day, as long as both agreed after meeting, they’d get married right away!
I only met his grandma once before we got our marriage certificate and held a wedding banquet the next day!"
Lin Fu chuckled and said, "Yes, it was like that before, but times have changed..."
Grandpa He nodded, "Indeed, times have changed, today’s youth often don’t want to marry. Some date but never marry, others stay single, not even dating..."
Speaking of which, Lin Fu and Lin Mu also sighed, "Yes, it’s true. Nowadays, the young ones have very high standards; if it’s not right, they just break up."
"But I believe that dating should be a process of confirming marriage, if two people are truly sure about each other, they can skip the middle steps entirely!"
Grandpa He declared firmly, "It’s also about understanding one’s feelings.
I asked Qi An, and he said that Xiao Yan is the only person he wants to marry."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan’s face turned even redder. She looked towards her side, seeing that person gazing at her with deep affection in his eyes.
As she looked at He Qi’an’s gaze, she couldn’t help but reach out and hold his hand.
The next second, her hand was firmly gripped by a big hand.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at He Qi’an, her mouth curved up into a smile, her face beaming.
He Qi’an watched Lin Xiaoyan’s smile, feeling warmth overflow from his heart.
