Chapter 181 - Of Course, We're Going on a Date

When Li Qin Yao walked out of her room, Zhang Yu Han was already sitting in the living room with her mother. The two of them turned their heads to her simultaneously, causing her to stiffen in position for a while.

"Good morning," Li Qin Yao smiled. "Have you waited long?"

"Not at all," Zhang Yu Han stood up from his seat and reached for her hand. "Let's go. Grandfather and Yu Ying will be waiting for us downstairs."

Li Qin Yao nodded and turned to her mother. Xu Yilan grabbed her purse and the three of them head towards the coffee house. 

A waitress greeted them at the entrance and led them towards a secluded space in the coffee house. Zhang Jing and Zhang Yu Ying stood up as the three of them approached the table. 

Zhang Yu Ying was about to shout 'sister-in-law' as she usually did, but when she saw that Xu Yilan was with them, she suddenly behaved herself. As a sister, of course, she had to help her brother to protect his image in front of his future mother-in-law. 

"Madam Xu," Zhang Jing greeted. "Please, have a seat."

Xu Yilan greeted the elder man politely. Just before she could pull the chair to sit down, Zhang Yu Han had already helped her. She thanked Zhang Yu Han and watched him pulling a seat for her daughter next.

Although Xu Yilan knew that Zhang Yu Han was only trying to be courteous at her because she was an elder, Xu Yilan grew fond of her daughter's boyfriend.

Xu Yilan looked at the elderly man and said, "Sorry, we're late." It was the first time for Xu Yilan to meet someone from Zhang Yu Han's family. Because she used to live in a high society circle, she was a bit self-conscious.

Zhang Jing quickly denied it. "No. The two of us have just arrived as well." He cleared his throat once and smiled amiably. "Hello, I'm Zhang Jing, Zhang Yu Han's grandfather. This is my granddaughter and Yu Han's younger sister, Zhang Yu Ying."

Zhang Yu Ying greeted Xu Yilan politely on cue. 

"I heard that you have always taken care of my daughter," Xu Yilan said. "Thank you."

Zhang Jing laughed. "It was the opposite. It was Qin Yao who always took care of us." He then glanced at the waitress on the side and gestured her to come closer. "Madam Xu, what do you like to eat for breakfast. Just tell the waitress here. The kitchen will prepare whatever it is that you like."

As they talked, Xu Yilan felt her uneasiness gradually disappeared. It seemed that she was worried about nothing.

Zhang Yu Han's family doesn't seem as if they were looking down on her or her daughter. She could probably guess that from Zhang Yu Han's good manners. His family had taught him well.

The five of them ate their breakfast in harmony while chatting about this and that. Actually, it was mostly Zhang Jing and Xu Yilan who chatted. Zhang Yu Han ate his breakfast silently while monitoring his grandfather's diet. Once in a while, the couple was seen leaning towards each other, whispering a few words that others could not hear.

This was what Zhang Yu Ying witnessed during their breakfast. She took out her phone and snapped a few pictures before sending them to her parents who were in Country C.

Once the pictures were sent, Zhang Yu Ying could feel her phone vibrated nonstop. She glanced at the screen and saw that her mother had sent a few texts with too many questions. 

In the end, Zhang Yu Ying only replied that she needed to return to the home country soon if she wanted to get to know her future daughter-in-law well.

Her replied left the Zhang couple in frenzy. The two of them had seen the pictures that their daughter sent earlier. It was a rare shot of their son, staring gently at his girlfriend.

In the past, the Zhang couple had tried to match their son with a few girls, but each time, their son would reject them, saying that he wanted to search for the girl he saw at the basketball tournament. The couple thought that their son was merely giving excuses. 

However, not too long ago that they heard from Zhang Yu Ying that their son had finally had a girlfriend. Of course, they were curious. 

The Zhang couple exchanged a glance before the mother quickly urged her husband to finish whatever work they have and return to their home country to meet their future daughter-in-law.

After their breakfast ended, Zhang Jing excused himself before he dragged his granddaughter to familiarize herself with their hotel in Capital City. Xu Yilan planned to visit a few of her old friends before they were going to return to B City in the next few days.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Yu Han dragged his girlfriend for a date. He grabbed a key from Xiao Ye and drove out of the city center. Li Qin Yao glanced at her boyfriend and asked, "Where are we going?"

Zhang Yu Han glanced at her before he focused on his driving. "Of course we're going on a date."

Li Qin Yao raised a brow. "We're not going to see a movie?" 

"You want to go and see a movie?" It was right after that that he realized that the two of them had never gone out to see a movie. Zhang Yu Han hesitated whether he should turn the car back to the city.

"No. I was just asking," Li Qin Yao said. "But, we can go next time."

Zhang Yu Han nodded and he continued to drive. 

Soon, the vehicle arrived at a more narrow road. When Li Qin Yao looked out the window, all she could see was the greenery. She glanced at Zhang Yu Han and could not help but wonder where he was taking her.

It couldn't be that he was going to sell her off, right?

Zhang Yu Han glanced at his girlfriend and noticed the strange look on her face. He let out a chuckle and said, "We'll be arriving soon." 

Five minutes after driving into the narrow road, Zhang Yu Han finally entered an area. He parked at an open car park and helped his girlfriend out. When Li Qin Yao stepped out of the vehicle, she could hear the sound of water babbling not too far away from them.

As they reached their destination, Li Qin Yao held her breath at the beautiful scenery before her. She had live in Capital City for years but this was the first time that she knew that a place like this existed. 

"I found out about this place in the past from one of the staff. He's a local here," Zhang Yu Han said. He embraced her from behind and lowered his body to rest his chin on her shoulder. "Qin Yao, I haven't seen you for days. Rather than watching a movie, I would rather spend my time watching you."
