Chapter 224 Making Master Shao a Cuckold

Even though Yu Yan was already very familiar with the Shao family and the two families were as close as family, she was still inevitably nervous when the two families sat down to talk about their relationship for the first time after her relationship with Shao Muyan changed.

Shao Muyan comforted her, "Don't be nervous. It's not only my blessing to have a wife like you, but also the blessing of our whole family."

Yu Yan glanced at him lightly, "Sweet talk."

"What, you don't believe me?"

Shao Muyan raised an eyebrow and showed her the chat history on his phone.

Dad: [Your mom woke up laughing from a dream last night. I asked her what she was laughing about, and she said she never expected that San'er could date Yu Yan. You know, this guy never seems to find love again, but he finally did.]

He added a comment: "[The last sentence was said by your mom. Dad only has two words: Awesome!]"

...Yu Yan blushed.

Seeing Uncle Shao's thumbs-up, she could even picture his expression and tone when he said those words to Aunt Qiu.

Shao Muyan held Yu Yan in the car, kissed her on the forehead, and chatted with her softly.

The early spring sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating Shao Muyan's hair and face. Half of his body was bathed in sunlight, and his handsome features seemed otherworldly. Yu Yan stared at him intently.

Clearly, she got a great deal.

-

Shao Yun and Xiang Chu have been taken to the Shao Mansion.

After greeting the elders upon entering, Yu Yan and Shao Muyan immediately went to check on Shao Yun's wound recovery.

To their surprise, the scars on Shao Yun's body were almost invisible unless you looked closely!

"The ointment that Dr. Su personally prepared is very effective."

Although Shao Yun didn't care much about the scars on his body, it was better to have none than to have them. Besides, Xiang Chu used to burst into tears every time she saw his scars, but now she finally stopped crying.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The reputation of this miracle doctor is well-deserved; he can truly turn the rotten into the miraculous!

Shao Muyan called Su Rui and, together with Yu Yan, solemnly expressed their gratitude.

Su Rui casually replied over the phone, "No need to be polite. The Shao family has poured a lot of medical aid funds into the Chinese medicine clinic. I'm a materialistic person; I only care about the money."

Yu Yan and Shao Muyan exchanged a glance, both amused and exasperated.

Everyone knows that Su Rui loves money, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way. No matter how many rich people offer money to him, Su Rui may not be willing to treat them, let alone personally prepare ointment for Shao Yun, travel to Shangzhou, and stay in the capital for more than a month to remove his scars. This is entirely out of affection.

Shao Muyan and Yu Yan had no reason not to be grateful.

Grandpa Yu and Chairman Shao were playing chess in the study. Madam Shao took Yu Yan on a tour of the Shao mansion and showed her the rooms on the second floor that had been renovated for them.

“This room used to belong to San’er. Although he doesn’t live here often, we still keep it for him. The nanny cleans it every day as usual, but we don’t go in. This child has always had a strong sense of boundaries and likes quiet. Sometimes he can’t stand having another person in the room, saying that our breathing will disturb his thinking.”

Madam Shao pursed her lips at Yu Yan, then covered her mouth with her hand and whispered to her son, "You're such a fussy person."

Yu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Do you know why your grandfather only lives in his house? It's not because he puts on airs like a closed-door disciple. It's mainly because his fellow disciples and students can't stand his serious personality."

Mrs. Shao continued chirping, "So, when I found out you and him became roommates, I felt especially sorry for you."

Yu Yan: "..."

"real."

Mrs. Shao smiled broadly and pulled Yu Yan to open another door. "This is your room. See if you like it."

Yu Yan was completely stunned when she looked at the clean and tidy room in front of her, which was a scaled-up version of her small room in the family compound.

"This is... mine?"

"yes."

Mrs. Shao pulled her inside, "These sheets, duvet covers, pillows, and stuff, I bought them all from the brands San'er sent me. The mattress is the same too. Ayan specifically told me that since you have a bad neck, you can't sleep on a mattress that's too soft. And the laundry detergent scent—it has to be a light floral fragrance, right? Ayan said you only sleep soundly when you smell that scent..."

She recounted everything Shao Muyan had told her about Yu Yan's daily habits.

Yu Yan was both surprised and moved.

In fact, she has never lived a very refined life. Some of her habits were formed from childhood and she didn't think they were important, but Shao Muyan remembered them so clearly.

When Mrs. Shao brought these things up, she showed no impatience or thought that she was difficult to please. She smiled throughout and said that she thought girls should be raised to be fragrant.

“These used to be two rooms, but I knocked them together. They’re just separated by a door anyway.”

Madam Shao said to Yu Yan, "If you want to live with San'er, go to his place. If you find him annoying, come here. It's the same as when you lived in the family dormitory."

He added, "My room and his father's room are like that too. It's so comfortable to have a private space where you can do whatever you want."

She put her arm around Yu Yan's shoulder and said, "If there's anything you need, just tell me. If you're too shy to tell me, just tell Ayan. This is your home, so don't be shy. I just want you to feel comfortable."

These words were spoken both intimately and sincerely.

Yu Yan felt a surge of warmth in her heart, turned around and hugged Madam Shao, sincerely saying, "Aunt Qiu, thank you."

"I should be thanking you."

Mrs. Shao patted Yu Yan's head and then smiled as she touched her face. "I've watched you grow up since you were little. I know very well how good and outstanding you are. I've known about Ayan's feelings for you for a long time, but he never mentioned it before, and I didn't want to ask. Asking too much would annoy people, and I'm not the kind of parent who's annoying. I'm genuinely happy for you two to be together."

A knock came from the outer room.

A moment later, Shao Muyan poked his head in, "Ms. Wen, I've been hogging this for a long time."

"I'm close to Yan Yan, and you're still not happy about it?" Mrs. Shao glared at her son.

Shao Muyan smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy to. How could I not be?"

"Alright, alright, I'm not staying here. You guys keep chatting."

Mrs. Shao chuckled and raised her eyebrows, then tactfully left the room, closing the door behind her.

As soon as his mother left, Shao Muyan became restless, hugging Yu Yan from behind and resting his chin on her shoulder: "I already miss you after just a short separation."

Yu Yan felt a little ticklish from his rubbing, and lightly patted the hand that was wrapped around her waist. "Don't exaggerate."

"The truth is not an exaggeration at all."

Shao Muyan smiled and kissed Yu Yan on the cheek, but Yu Yan was a little distracted. Looking at the clean and tidy room, she couldn't help but sigh, "Aunt Qiu is so good to me."

Yu Yan doesn't know about the treatment she's receiving from other mothers-in-law, but it's something that would never happen to Mrs. Xiang.

"Don't assume that Mom's affection extends to everything related to her."

Shao Muyan said, "She treats you like her own daughter. Your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are treated the same way. Besides... you're someone she's watched grow up since you were a child."

Yu Yan nodded, unable to help but sigh for herself, "Meeting such a mother-in-law is my blessing."

"Oh?" Shao Muyan pressed the bait, "So, what if you encounter a husband like this?"

Yu Yan glanced back at him, whispered something in his ear, and immediately made Master Shao pout.
