That night, the Zhang family had their dinner merrily. Because it has been a long time since they have all gathered together, Zhang Jing had asked Auntie Wu to make his favorite sweet and sour ribs. Due to the happy occasions, none of them said a word when they saw that the old man was eating at more than he should.
Of course, Zhang Jing was aware that from tomorrow onwards, he will have to go on his vegetarian diet for a few days after this.
While having dinner, everyone was focusing on both Zhang Yu Han and Li Qin Yao. Before the meal was over, both Zhang Xi and his wife had arranged with Li Qin Yao and planned to have dinner with her mother so that they could begin to discuss their wedding.
Once Liu Hui Lan had passed her phone back to her after talking to her mother, Li Qin Yao could not help but think of how quickly the Zhang would do things. Back when she had obtained her marriage certificate, everything was done in such a short time. In just a blink of an eye, she had become a married woman.
Without realizing it, they have chatted for hours. Seeing that it was almost midnight, everyone had asked the couple to stay at the residence instead of letting them go back to their place.
Since the couple would sometimes stay at the residence to accompany Zhang Jing and had their clothes and toiletries around, they readily agreed to stay. This way, the elders would not worry too much to let them drive back.
Seeing that his wife was getting comfortable with his parents and could not stop chatting with his mother, Zhang Yu Han went upstairs to take a shower. When he came out a few minutes later, Zhang Yu Han found his wife sitting at the winged chair with her eyes glued to the phone.
Li Qin Yao lifted her gaze and stood up when she saw her husband.
"You've done with chatting with mom and dad?"
"Hmm…" Li Qin Yao nodded. She fetched the towel from his hand and asked her husband to sit down so that she can help him to dry his hair.
"It's good that you are getting along with them," Zhang Yu Han grabbed her hand and planted a kiss on her palm.
Li Qin Yao paused from whatever she was doing and walked around to stop in front of her husband. "Zhang Yu Han, mom told me earlier that they were coming with us to Capital City."
"Hmm… Grandfather talked to me about it earlier." He snaked his arms around her waist and continued, "When mom and dad heard your situation from Grandfather, they thought that it was best if they went along with us." Zhang Yu Han watched the hesitant look on her face and tugged at her hand so that she was sitting on his ŀȧps. "Are you angry that I let others know about your situation?"
Li Qin Yao instinctively put her hand around his shoulder as she shook her head. She knew that it was because of the family that she was able to find Manager Guo as quickly. Since they were helping her, Li Qin Yao did not have a reason to be angry about it. She was grateful.
Zhang Yu Han's lips curved into a smile. "Because you are now their daughter-in-law, mom and dad wanted to be your reinforcement. They were hoping that with them around, you will be more at ease. We won't allow anyone to bully you."
Hearing his answer, Li Qin Yao was suddenly shy. "Is that appropriate? Mom and dad have only arrived from Country C. Won't they get tired?"
"They won't." When he saw the uneasiness in her expression did not fade away, Zhang Yu Han chuckled and kissed her on her chin. "You don't have to think about it too much. Besides coming over to the Capital City to act as our support, Dad still has some business in Capital City."
On the day that they departed to Capital City, Li Qin Yao could not help but thought how they look as if they were going on a family holiday. Surprisingly, even Grandfather and Yu Ying decided to come over to Capital City.
At the thought that everyone came along to support her, Li Qin Yao felt a sense of warmth surrounding her.
When Zhang Yu Han saw the dazed look on his wife's face, he pinched at his wife's cheek lightly and smiled. "What are you thinking about?"
For fear that Zhang Yu Han was going to flick her forehead when she said her thoughts out loud, Li Qin Yao quickly shook her head. "Nothing." She tugged at his sleeve and looked back at him with a pitiable expression.
Of course, when Zhang Yu Han saw this expression, he could not help but to pinch at her cheek again. He inched closer to her and bent down so that his mouth was closer to her ear. "You're not telling me?"
Li Qin Yao chewed at her lips when she heard his deep, vibrating voice. No matter how much she had heard his voice, Li Qin Yao thought that she can never get used to it. Her heart would jump and she would feel giddy.
"Not telling you." Li Qin Yao smiled mischievously when he pulled back to look at her face.
Zhang Yu Han raised his brow at her answer. He bent his neck again to get close to her and spoke in a low, dangerous voice. "Qin Yao."
Her heartbeat accelerated and Li Qin Yao could feel that her toes curled in her sneakers. She gave a slight shove at his ċhėst and looked at her husband with a slight pout. "Stop playing around."
Zhang Yu Han tilted his head slightly. "Didn't you say that you like it when I call out your name this way?" He smiled and continued to tease her. "Qin Yao, I can call out your name this way no matter how many times you wanted me to."
"You're a bad man."
When Zhang Yu Han saw the adorable, furious look on her face, he could not help but to let out a laugh. A thought crossed his mind and Zhang Yu Han decided to play along. "Let's see how bad I can be when we get to the hotel."
Hearing his words, Li Qin Yao could only swallow as she looked at him speechlessly. Feeling the heat started to creep on her face, Li Qin Yao lowered her head like an obedient kitten. She would be embarrassed to death if anyone heard this conversation.
They were at the airport where there were a lot of people! How can her husband still say those kinds of things at this place?
Seeing that his wife's mind was diverted away from worrying about what she was going to deal with once they arrived at Capital City, Zhang Yu Han lifted his hand to mess with her hair and smiled.
