“What do you mean by why?” The old man smacked his back and angrily asked. “What’s wrong with your brother? He is handsome, successful, smart and most of all a loyal man. He cares so much for her.”
Han Zixin pursed his lips. “I know he is a very good catch but why would she marry him when they just met a few weeks ago? Isn’t it too soon? Impulsive marriage means early divorce.”
“Young man, don’t use the word divorce in my house, ” The old man warned him.
Song Xueyun sighed as she understood Han Zixin’s fears. “Zixin, we are not thinking of getting a divorce. We are giving this marriage a real shot as it deserved. Also, Nanxian and I knew each other since our childhood. It will be fun knowing each other from the beginning.”
The old man was in awe of his smart granddaughter-in-law.
“This dunderhead won’t understand your smart talk, ” The old man said. “Do you know what he was about to do? Ask Xiulan clothes for another woman.”
Song Xueyun gasped as looked at Han Zixin in horror. “Are you crazy? Why would you do that? Don’t you know how possessive she is over you?”
“I don’t think so, ” Han Zixin furrowed his brows.
Song Xueyun scoffed. “She posted a picture with you. The girls asked her in the comments who you were and if she would share your number with them. She deleted the picture. She didn’t even let Shen Yue talk about how handsome you are. She is highly possessive of you. If she find out that you are asking her clothes for another woman, she won’t say a word but will sulk for weeks.”
“Chen Jiayi is my comrade. She got injured on a mission while saving my life. It’s my responsibility to look after her, ” Han Zixin said. “Why would she be jealous of her? It’s not like Xiulan likes me. It’s just me who is crazy for her but she can’t see.”
“At least one of you is accepting that you are not just best friends, ” Song Xueyun heaved out a sigh of relief. “Did you propose to her?”
Han Zixin nodded his head.
“Great, ” Song Xueyun huffed. “Did she say yes?”
Han Zixin shook his head.
“Did she say no?” Song Xueyun asked.
Han Zixin shook his head.
Song Xueyun grinned. “Great.” She looked at the old man and said, “Grandpa, am I allowed to help my brother-in-law chase my bestie who I so badly want to add to our family?”
The old man grinned. “About damn time.”
“Wait, what am I supposed to do?” Han Zixin asked.
“Nothing, ” Both Song Xueyun and Han Qian said at the same time.
“Huh?” Han Zixin looked at them in confusion. “I don’t understand a thing.”
“You don’t have to understand. Let us do what needed to be done, ” Song Xueyun said with a smile. She high-fived the old man and exchanged a look that Han Zixin didn’t understand.
Later, Song Xueyun was lying on the bed when her phone rang. As she checked the caller, a big smile tugged on her lips as she took the video call.
“Hey, ” She softly said as her face became clear to Han Nanxian.
“Where are you?” Han Nanxian quickly asked. “This doesn’t look like your bedroom.”
Song Xueyun grinned and showed her the bedroom where she was staying. “I am lying on a big soft bed. I can give up anything for this kind of bed. It’s heaven.”
Han Nanxian chuckled. “You are wearing my clothes and you are staying in my bedroom at Yeye’s house.”
“Are you upset?” Song Xueyun asked.
“Quite the contrary, ” He said with a smile. “I can’t believe that Yeye kept my bedroom intact. There is almost no change here.”
“Do you like staying here?” Song Xueyun asked.
“I had a lot of fun at this house, ” Han Zixin truthfully asked. “That house is one of my favourite places on earth.”
“Grandpa is missing you a lot, ” Song Xueyun mentioned.
“May I ask Mrs Han why is she there?” Han Nanxian questioned.
“You don’t like me staying here?” Song Xueyun asked.
“No, your bestie lives just a few metres away from this place. I wonder how come you are not there, ” Han Nanxian said. If he knew An Xiulan, he knew that she would drag his wife to her place and make her share a bed with her. Was he jealous? Maybe. But that was how Song Xueyun and An Xiulan’s relationship was. An Xiulan was friends with everyone but Song Xueyun had very less friends but she was very attached to An Xiulan.
“Grandpa called me. I was staying at my parent’s place, ” Song Xueyun mentioned. “He said it’s urgent and I need to come to his place with some clothes for woman. I couldn’t say no.”
“Why?” Han Nanxian asked.
“Your brother brought an injured comrade home, ” Song Xueyun told him. “Yeye didn’t allow Han Zixin to borrow clothes from Xiulan.”
“Don’t tell me Zixin was going to do something stupid like that, ” Han Nanxian asked in horror. “Did he forget how possessive his best friend is? Not just over him but her clothes too.”
“We all can see but those two dumb people can’t see, ” Song Xueyun muttered. “Why did you not tell me he proposed Xiulan? Why am I hearing this from Yeye, not from you and her?”
“I forgot to tell you, ” Han Nanxian sighed.
“Hah, I’m not forgiving you for hiding such a big matter from me, ” Song Xueyun pouted.
“Tell me how can I earn your forgiveness?” Han Nanxian asked her.
“Just end your work there and come to meet your family. Grandpa and Zixin miss you a lot but you are heartless. Do you know they know we got married? Grandpa is treating me like a queen. And Zixin, who is the same age as me, is treating me like an elder. I feel so weird, ” Song Xueyun said in a soft voice.
“They are doing bare minimum, “Han Nanxian said. “Yeye wants to see me and Zixin happy. He knew that you are the reason behind my happiness. He will keep to happy just to see me happy. Isn’t my grandpa the best in the world?”
