Han Xiao encountered a landslide during his graduation trip and thought he was doomed. To his surprise, he woke up to find himself transmigrated into a sickly young boy burdened with the name of a ...
Holding the young master's body to prevent him from falling, Han Xiao held the young master in his arms and responded to him while walking.
By the time they reached the main hall, everyone had arrived, especially Mrs. Ruan and Grandpa Ruan. They stood up excitedly when they saw Han Xiao carrying the young master in.
"Oh, put it down quickly, put it down quickly. You two really don't know how to handle the seriousness of the situation. What if you hurt Ruanruan?"
Han Xiao obediently put the young master down and admitted his mistake. The young master was a little embarrassed and quietly hid behind Han Xiao, sticking out his tongue mischievously.
Madam Ruan's expression changed as she reached out and grabbed the young master back. "Still being naughty, did you deliberately torment Han Xiao? You're so old and you don't know the severity of the situation."
Hearing that his own father didn't stand on his side, the young master puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction: "Daddy, you don't love me anymore. It was obviously my husband who took the initiative. Why don't you say anything to him?"
Mrs. Ruan was almost laughing at the young master's anger, but now thinking of the young master's health, she held back and didn't continue speaking. She just carefully supported the young master and led him to his seat.
Mother Han watched the interaction between the mother and son with a smile. She knew that Mrs. Ruan was not really blaming the young master, so she did not say anything.
"Alright, my dear relatives, let's sit down and eat first. I think Ruanruan is hungry. I am like him and I am very hungry every day. We can't let Ruanruan go hungry."
Mrs. Ruan agreed when she heard this. They were all parents, so how could they not know the hardships and bitterness at this special time? Fortunately, Han Xiao was different from other men and he really cared about the young master.
He was relieved to leave the young master to Han Xiao, but he would tell Han Xiao all the precautions later.
Both of them are young and energetic, so it would be better for them to sleep in separate beds for a while. Fortunately, Han Xiao doesn't know that Mrs. Ruan is already preparing to let them sleep in separate beds.
The food is all what the young master likes to eat, but due to special circumstances, the young master likes to eat something with a stronger taste.
Han Xiao asked the kitchen to prepare the spicy fish, but the braised beef would not be ready in a short time, so Han Xiao prepared to braise it first. If the young master was hungry at night, he could have it as a snack.
He first coaxed the young master to eat. The young master was already very hungry and was drooling at the sight of the delicious food. Han Xiao first served the young master a bowl of soup to fill his stomach.
The young master continued to drink it in small sips. He always liked the chicken soup stewed by Han's mother.
The whole family just watched the interaction between the young master and Han Xiao, as if both of them could make them skip meals.
Han Xiao said a little uncomfortably: "Dad, Mom, father-in-law, mother-in-law, please stop looking at us and eat quickly."
"Oh, yes, yes."
"Don't worry about me, I'll eat by myself."
"Okay, okay, seeing Ruanruan eating so deliciously, I'm hungry too."
Suddenly the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively. Grandpa Ruan drank a few glasses of wine and started chatting with Han Mingyuan.
Han Mingyuan was also a little tipsy. He was happy about the double happiness that had recently come to his family, and he was even happier because he could go to Beijing to give an explanation to his teacher.
When Mr. Ruan said this, he paused, put down his wine glass, and looked at Mrs. Ruan a little anxiously.
Mrs. Ruan had a gentle expression on her face and was still coaxing the young master to eat.
Master Ruan turned around and said awkwardly, "Brother Han, are you going to the capital alone or... are you going together?"
Han Mingyuan looked at Master Ruan in confusion, not knowing why he asked that. "Of course our whole family will go together. Han Xiao has made all the arrangements. He'll have Xing Yi go over in a few days to finalize the accommodation."
Han Xiao filled Mr. Ruan's glass and continued, "Yes, father-in-law, I have already arranged this. You don't have to worry about Ruanruan."
Han Xiao thought that Master Ruan was worried that the young master would have a bumpy ride on the way to the capital, which would be bad for his health.
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant will you come back in the future?"
When talking about this topic, almost everyone put down their chopsticks. The young master also felt that the atmosphere was not right and carefully took Han Xiao's hand.
Selfishly speaking, Han Xiao was not planning to come back. Qingping Town was nice but too comfortable, which did not suit his personality. So Han Xiao had wanted to go to the capital for a long time. Now that Han Mingyuan had passed the imperial examination, it was inevitable that he would settle down in the capital.
However, a very realistic thing is faced when they go to the capital: the Ruan family's roots are in Qingping Town. The young master will definitely follow Han Xiao and others to the capital, so what about the Ruan family?
This means that the young master will be separated from his family, which is not the result he wants to see.
Han Mingyuan's thoughts changed a lot, but he still looked at Han Xiao with embarrassment and said, "That's probably the case, but it still depends on Ruanruan's opinion. If Ruanruan doesn't want to go..."
Now everyone's eyes were on the young master. The young master bit his lip. He had never thought about separating from his parents before.
"I...I don't know." The young master didn't know what to say. He wanted to be with Han Xiao, and he also wanted to be with his family, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. There was always a dilemma between the two.
If he wanted to stay, his husband would definitely stay with him since he loved him so much, but he was also unwilling to let his husband give up his career.
So now the young master was in great trouble. He looked at his parents and then at Han Xiao, tears slowly welling up in his eyes.
Han Xiao wiped the tears from the young master's eyes distressedly: "Don't be sad, what can I do!"
"What...what?" The young master began to feel unstable.
Han Xiao sighed. He had originally planned to go to the Ruan family to resolve the matter first and then tell the young master about it. He didn't expect that they would suddenly talk about this topic, which really caught Han Xiao off guard.
After comforting the young master for a while, Han Xiao raised his head and looked at his family.
Especially Master Ruan, he sobered up a little when the young master cried, and looked at Han Xiao with guilt.
Han Xiao said softly, "Actually, it's very simple to solve this problem. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, can't you just come with us to the capital? That way we can still be neighbors. When the time comes, our two families can buy a house together, and it will be more convenient for you two elders to visit Ruanruan."
After Han Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Ruan. Han Xiao knew that the one who really had the final say in the Ruan family was Mrs. Ruan.
But Mrs. Ruan's expression was ugly. The capital was not a good place for her.
He had gone to great lengths to leave the capital, and now that he was asked to go back, he felt like all his previous efforts had been in vain.
Especially since the young master's biological father died in the capital. How could all these things make Madam Ruan abandon the past and return to the capital?
