Chapter 787 Fu Nian'an: Le Yan and I are dating
Lin Minsheng looked down at Le Yan, his expression unusually serious. "Explain yourself, what is he to you?"
Just as Le Yan was about to speak, Fu Nian'an spoke first—
“Uncle Lin, Le Yan and I are dating.” Fu Nian’an said in a low voice, “I apologize for disturbing you. I hope you will forgive me.”
Boy friend?
Lin Minsheng looked at Fu Nian'an, and although he didn't quite believe it, he didn't say anything because of Fu Nian'an's upright gaze.
He wasn't very educated and was afraid that he might say something wrong that would affect his daughter.
A myriad of thoughts swirled in my mind, ultimately culminating in a sigh.
"Brother Sheng, what's wrong with you? He came all this way, don't look so grumpy! You're going to scare him!"
Lin Minsheng: "..."
This guy looks like a big shot, how could he be scared by a small fisherman like him?
Looking at his daughter, Lin Minsheng felt that she was still too naive!
He pursed his lips and sighed, still unable to bear making things difficult for his daughter.
He looked at Fu Nian'an and smiled, "Mr. Fu, you've come all this way, surely you've had a meal? Come on, the food is ready, let's sit down and eat!"
Fu Nian'an nodded slightly, "Then I'll take my leave."
Le Yan immediately ran over and put the gift in his hand in a corner.
Then, she took a tissue and wiped the dining chair. "Mr. Fu, please have a seat!"
Lin Minsheng glanced at Le Yan.
That look in his eyes contained both scrutiny and pity...
Fu Nian'an looked at the girl who was still using respectful terms to address him in a silly way, feeling utterly helpless.
“Yangyang, you don’t need to act at home,” he reminded Le Yang.
Le Yan suddenly realized what was happening and quickly smiled at Lin Minsheng, "I'm a female celebrity, so I can't be in a relationship. That's why we pretend we're not close in public. We're used to calling each other that in public, so we just forgot!"
Lin Minsheng: "..." He doesn't understand the daughter he raised?
But what could he say?
The daughter looked so happy; she must really like this Mr. Fu.
"Mr. Fu is right, we shouldn't perform at home."
"Okay!" Le Yan tugged at Fu Nian'an's arm. "Sit down, make yourself at home, don't be shy!"
Fu Nian'an chuckled softly, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Lin Minsheng quickly chimed in, "Yes, guests are guests, so please don't stand on ceremony. My cooking skills are not great, so these are just some simple dishes. Mr. Fu, please bear with them."
"Uncle Lin is too modest. These dishes look delicious. I've heard from Yangyang that you're a good cook, and I've been wanting to try your cooking for a long time."
Lin Minsheng was an honest man after all, and he immediately felt embarrassed after Fu Nian'an praised him like that.
He scratched the back of his head: "Yangyang has been a picky eater since she was little, and my cooking skills are something she honed."
Fu Nian'an smiled gently, "Uncle Lin is a good father. Yangyang is so lucky to have a father who loves her so much."
Lin Minsheng was initially wary of Fu Nian'an, but every word Fu Nian'an said hit Lin Minsheng's weak spot, making him so coaxed that he kept scratching his head and grinning foolishly.
Le Yan was completely dumbfounded.
She suspected that Fu Nian'an could read minds, and she was initially worried that Lin Minsheng might deliberately make things difficult for Fu Nian'an to prevent her from being deceived...
Now she realizes she was overthinking it!
...
The three of them quickly sat down around the dining table.
Lin Minsheng's greatest pleasure every day is drinking.
Among the gifts that Fu Nian'an brought were several bottles of fine wine.
Among them is Moutai.
Lin Minsheng had never tasted anything so good in his life, so Fu Nian'an opened a bottle.
Fu Nian'an poured wine for Lin Minsheng, who felt a little embarrassed. However, Fu Nian'an's humility made Lin Minsheng unconsciously adopt the demeanor of an elder, and for some reason, he felt the composure and imposing presence of a future father-in-law.
Le Yan looked at Fu Nian'an, who had just poured wine for Lin Minsheng, and was about to pour wine for herself, and was somewhat surprised.
She quickly leaned close to Fu Nian'an's ear and whispered, "You've been drinking, how are you going to drive later?"
Fu Nian'an paused slightly, "You don't have any guest rooms?"
Le Yan: "?"
Fu Nian'an raised an eyebrow. "It's the Lunar New Year, you're not going to send me to a hotel, are you?"
Le Yan: "..."
"What hotel?" Lin Minsheng frowned as he looked at the two men.
Le Yan turned around, about to explain, when Fu Nian'an interrupted, "Yan Yan asked me if I had booked a hotel?"
Le Yan turned around abruptly, staring at Fu Nian'an in disbelief.
“We don’t have any hotels in this small town. Even the best budget hotel in town is probably empty today. Sigh! Why would we stay in a hotel during the New Year? You’re so inconsiderate, Yangyang. We have a guest room at home. I’ll tidy it up for Mr. Fu later. It’ll be fine for the night.”
Le Yan: "...No, I..."
Fu Nian'an raised her glass and smiled warmly at Lin Minsheng, "Then thank you for taking me in, Uncle Lin. Happy New Year, I'll drink this, please feel free to drink as you like."
Lin Minsheng quickly raised his glass to clink glasses with Fu Nian'an.
Fu Nian'an lowered his glass, clinked glasses with his, and drank it all in one gulp.
Lin Minsheng looked at Fu Nian'an, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
Even though Fu Nian'an acted modestly, Lin Minsheng knew that he was no ordinary person. The fact that such a man was willing to travel all the way from Beicheng to see his daughter on New Year's Eve, a day of family reunion, touched Lin Minsheng deeply.
He thought that Le Yan would settle down in Beicheng in the future, and with someone like Fu Nian'an protecting her, he would feel more at ease.
"Mr. Fu, please have some food." Lin Minsheng put down his wine glass and gestured to Fu Nian'an.
Fu Nian'an put down her wine glass, looked at Lin Minsheng and said, "Uncle Lin, I am a junior, you can just call me Nian'an."
Lin Minsheng hesitated for a moment, glancing at his daughter.
Le Yan, biting her chopsticks, nodded to Lin Minsheng.
Lin Minsheng nodded, had Le Yan pour the wine, raised his glass to Fu Nian'an, and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, Uncle Lin. May I ask how old Nian'an is this year?"
Le Yan also poured a cup for Fu Nian'an.
Fu Nian'an picked up his wine glass and replied in a low voice, "After New Year's Eve."
"Huh?" Le Yan paused in her act of putting down the wine bottle, looking at Fu Nian'an in disbelief. "You, you're thirty-one?"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Lin Minsheng looked at Le Yang and pursed his lips: "She is seven years older than Yang Yang."
Fu Nian'an: "..." I don't feel good.
Le Yan quickly turned to Lin Minsheng and frowned: "A man is supposed to be established by thirty, which is the prime of his life, but Fu Nian'an looks young. You can't tell that he's that much older than me, you really can't! Right?"
Even the slow-witted Lin Minsheng understood his daughter's hint and awkwardly agreed, "Yes, I can't tell."
Fu Nian'an: "..." It felt even worse.
His family says he's 31 and not young anymore, but he doesn't think it matters.
But at this moment, from Le Yan and Lin Minsheng's clumsy conversation of comfort, he experienced for the first time the distress that age brought him.
"Don't just chat!" Le Yan picked up the serving chopsticks, placed a piece of oyster omelet in Fu Nian'an's bowl, and said, "Try this, it's an authentic local dish called oyster omelet!"
Fu Nian'an picked up her chopsticks. "Okay, thank you."
...
The Lijiang Villa in the northern part of the city was bustling with activity at the moment.
The dining table was surrounded by people.
Tonight's family reunion dinner is a blessing for Qi Yue, who has two sons. Fu Siyan made an exception and invited him to join the dinner.
Fu Nianjin was setting off fireworks in the yard with her two nephews.
The reunion dinner was ready, and Shen Qingshu came out to call them back to the house to eat.
Fu Nianjin led one of them into the house, holding one in each hand.
One adult and two children took off their shoes and heavy coats.
"Time for family reunion dinner!" Little Chenchen ran towards the dining table in his socks, but Shen Anning grabbed him. "What do we need to do before we eat?"
Little Chenchen stopped and said, "Wash your hands!"
"Great job!" Shen Anning raised her hand and patted her youngest son's head. "Go wash your hands with your brother before you come back."
"good!"
The two children ran to wash their hands.
In the living room, Fu Siyan called to Qi Yue, "Come on, let's eat."
Qi Yue nodded and got up to walk towards the restaurant.
He hasn't officially won Shen Anning back yet, but because they have two children, this neighbor was able to come over for a family reunion dinner.
Once everyone was seated at the table, Qi Yue glanced around and asked curiously, "Where's Nian'an?"
