Chapter 140: Reunion after a long separation
Su Jinhui had just gotten into the car, and after hearing Xiao Gao's words, her face finally showed some emotion. "You mean Yan Li'an has completed his mission and returned home?"
"Yes, he came back in a hurry, so he asked me to tell you that you will see him after you go to Yan's house. Sit tight, I'm going to drive now."
As soon as Xiao Gao finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and headed towards Yan's house.
However, Su Jinhui couldn't help but think of Yan Li'an's face.
I wonder if the two of them will feel emotional again when they meet again after not seeing each other for such a long time.
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Gao parked the car in front of the Yan family's gate.
There were no outsiders at this family dinner, only members of the Yan family.
When Su Jinhui came to the living room, she heard someone inside talking about her. The name sounded familiar to her, as if it was her third uncle whom she had met last time.
"Li'an, your fiancée is truly remarkable. You don't know that the last time she visited the Yan family, she drew a map of meridian points. I had it framed and placed it in my room for them to admire."
"I heard that she made a great contribution this time. Since she is your fiancée, she will sooner or later become the mistress of our Yan family and a member of our family."
"So, the honors she won are also the honors she won for us. I'm proud of her."
Although Yan Li'an had been doing his task silently, he was still very happy when he heard his family members praising Su Jinhui, and he couldn't help but look towards the door.
He wanted to know if Su Jinhui had come over, but when he turned his head, he happened to meet Su Jinhui's eyes. He was so startled that he stood up from the sofa instantly.
He walked to Su Jinhui without stopping. When he saw that Su Jinhui was dressed differently from the ones on the island, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes. In fact, ever since she got on the boat and came to the island with him, Su Jinhui's face had been deeply engraved in his mind. He only knew that the girl in front of him was very beautiful.
Now that she has dressed up a little, this cute look is even more unforgettable in my mind.
“You’re here!”
Even Yan Li'an's voice became unusually gentle.
Su Jinhui nodded. She hadn't seen him for a long time, and he seemed to have lost some weight.
"I heard from Xiao Gao that you've been carrying out missions in Kyoto recently. He never told me much, but I think you've been very tired. You seem to have lost a little weight. It seems that after leaving the island, you haven't eaten the meals I prepared for you. The food is really not good."
Yan Li'an chuckled. He took Su Jinhui's hand and walked towards the sofa. "Mom, Dad, uncles, since Su Jinhui is here, let's quickly start eating and chat while we eat."
The strict father and mother also saw Su Jinhui, but they showed different attitudes.
In fact, the Yan family had already learned through special channels that Su Jinhui had completed the task assigned to her by the national leaders.
They had a general understanding of the situation, but they didn't know that Su Jinhui was performing surgery on Mr. Liu. They only knew that she had made a great contribution to the country. The country even hinted that the Yan family should protect Su Jinhui well and must not take it lightly or make any mistakes.
The Yan family has been established in Kyoto for such a long time, and even though they have made some achievements, they have never been valued so much by the country. Su Jinhui has been in the capital for only a short time, and she has been able to receive such an honor, so now no one in their family dares to neglect Su Jinhui.
"Li'an is right, let's sit down and eat while we talk."
The strict father stood up and looked at Su Jinhui kindly, "The last time you came to our house for dinner, I noticed that you might like to eat some sweet dishes. This time, I specifically asked the aunt at home to make some sweet dishes. I don't know if they will suit your taste."
"Thank you, uncle. It's not so troublesome."
"How can that be? Just tell us what you like to eat. We can cater to everyone's taste."
These words made Su Jinhui feel a little flattered. Although Yan's father treated her well the last time she came to Yan's house, he was still a little cautious. But this time seemed a little different. He treated her like his own daughter.
There was even a kind of inexplicable respect and attention. Was it because...she performed surgery on Mr. Liu?
However, Su Jinhui still didn't quite understand whether a family like the Linguists could find out the truth about this matter. Moreover, this matter was a state secret, and even she couldn't say it out loud.
Yan's mother watched the attitudes of Yan's father and other elders from the side, and she still felt some resentment and unwillingness in her heart.
However, Su Jinhui's recent performance and the special instructions from her superiors also made her a little wary of Su Jinhui.
Although she had to admit that Su Jinhui was a country girl whose background was indeed somewhat unremarkable, she also wanted Yan Li'an to find a lady from a wealthy family to marry and have a child.
But in fact, putting all these aside, Su Jinhui is no different from a real lady from a noble family. However, she just couldn't swallow this humiliation and always felt that her son deserved better.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, as someone who has experienced this, it is not difficult for her to see the tenderness in Yan Li'an's eyes when he looks at Su Jinhui, as well as the respect shown by the stroke patients towards Su Jinhui. No matter what she does, it will be of no avail.
Mother Yan pursed her lips and put away her intention to make things difficult for her. "Since everyone is here, let's sit down and have dinner together."
The family sat together for dinner in harmony. During the meal, Yan Li'an picked up food for Su Jinhui many times, which made everyone envious.
Yan's mother saw this and found the meal boring, but she had to maintain her appearance of decency.
"Su Jinhui, since Yan Li'an has returned home, if you don't have any other plans in Kyoto during this period, why don't you move in with us? We have plenty of guest rooms at home, so we can just give you one to stay in."
"It's not very convenient for you to live in a guesthouse all the time, and your personal safety is not guaranteed. There will be no thieves or enemies at home. It can not only guarantee your safety, but also allow you to get along with Yan Li'an. If you have any problems in the future, you can find him first. What do you think?"
"I…"
She paused and suddenly looked at Yan Li'an, as if asking for his opinion.
"Since my father has said so, you can live at home with peace of mind. We have everything we need at home. The guesthouse is relatively small, and there are too many people and eyes. I'm worried about any accidents."
"Besides, we have legal status, so no one can say anything bad about us."
Su Jinhui nodded without saying anything more, "Okay, I'll bother you then."
Yan's father and other elders were so happy when they heard that Su Jinhui agreed to live in Yan's family. Yan's mother couldn't get a word in the whole process. Anyway, she couldn't decide anything. This matter had become a foregone conclusion and could no longer be changed.
