Chapter 606 The Grand Reunion (4)
Han Mingyu subconsciously looked at Qi Mingxuan.
Qi Mingxuan felt a little uncomfortable and raised her hand to touch her cheek.
Her gaze darted away.
Han Mingyu smiled and said, "Mom, your voice is too loud. Xiaoxuan heard you."
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Han's mother stammered, "Then, why don't you ask Xiaoxuan for me?"
Qi Mingxuan: "..."
Han Mingyu noticed that Qi Mingxuan was uncomfortable, and he didn't want to make things difficult for her.
"Mom, I'm driving right now, I have to go." Han Mingyu said and hung up the phone.
On New Year's Eve, the city streets were actually much quieter than usual.
The red light at the intersection turned on, and Han Mingyu slowly stepped on the brake.
Inside the car, Han Mingyu turned to look at Qi Mingxuan, "Xiaoxuan, if you feel uncomfortable, then the four of us can stay at Mingyuan tonight. I'll have Lan's mother and the others go to Hanlou..."
“I’m going back to the Han family to see my elders,” Qi Mingxuan interrupted Han Mingyu and said, “Han Mingyu, the four elders of the Han family have never wronged me. In fact, they have always been very good to me. In the years we’ve been apart, I have always felt absolutely guilty towards the four elders, especially our mother.”
The words "our mother" made Han Mingyu pause for a moment.
"Xiaoxuan, are you really sure about this?"
“I’ve really thought it through,” Qi Mingxuan said. “So I also hope you understand that no matter what our relationship is like, unless you marry another woman, the four elders of the Han family will always be family members that I value.”
"How could I possibly marry another woman!" Han Mingyu retorted immediately. "I don't want anyone but you in this life! Even if you never remarry me, I won't even glance at another woman."
Qi Mingxuan smiled slightly, "Although you are almost forty years old, if you live to be eighty, you still have forty years left. You don't need to be in such a hurry to make a promise to me."
Even if I live to be 120, I will only love you!
Qi Mingxuan was already used to his sharp tongue.
In the four years since, Han Mingyu has matured and changed a lot, but some of his inherent traits are still hard to change.
However, everyone has their own personality, and each person is unique.
Qi Mingxuan looked out the window and said, "The light is green."
Han Mingyu turned his head, shifted gears, and gently pressed the accelerator.
…
Upon learning that Qi Mingxuan was coming back, Grandpa Han and Grandma Han were very excited, and the two elderly people insisted on coming over to stand at the gate to wait.
Mr. and Mrs. Han kept urging them to go inside and wait, as it was freezing cold outside.
But the two elderly people just wouldn't listen.
Madam Han said, "Xiao Xuan has been gone for almost five years. She's finally willing to come back. I'm so glad I waited for her. I have to stand here and personally welcome her back!"
"Yes, what your mother said is exactly what I wanted to say," said Grandpa Han. "That brat Mingyu was such a scoundrel before, but luckily Xiaoxuan is a kind and forgiving girl. The fact that she's willing to accept Mingyu is truly a blessing from our ancestors! I'll go to the ancestral hall tomorrow morning to offer incense to all our ancestors. I need to thank them properly!"
"You can't go alone!" said Madam Han. "We have to call Mingyu too!"
Grandpa Han nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we should also invite Mingyu!"
As he said this, the familiar Phantom drove in through the open, ornate bronze door.
The Phantom drove towards Han Lou.
We stopped at the main entrance of Hanlou Restaurant.
The passenger door opened, and Qi Mingxuan, wearing a brown cashmere coat, got out of the car.
On the other side, Han Mingyu got out of the car, hurriedly walked around the front of the car to Qi Mingxuan's side, and wrapped the red scarf around her neck. "It's cold, come inside quickly."
Qi Mingxuan glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Okay."
Seeing this, the elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This atmosphere is just right!
"Xiao Xuan, you're finally back!" Mother Han hurriedly came out, took a few steps down the granite steps at the door, and reached out to hug Qi Mingxuan.
Qi Mingxuan hugged Han's mother back, "Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you."
As she spoke, she looked at the other three elders standing at the door.
I greeted them one by one.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa, Grandma, Dad."
These few words of address brought tears to the eyes of the three elders.
Grandpa Han nodded repeatedly, "Happy New Year, all is well, all is well!"
"Xiao Xuan, come inside quickly!" Old Madam Han beckoned to Qi Mingxuan.
Qi Mingxuan nodded obediently, "Okay."
"How did you manage to get so thin after all those years abroad?" Han's mother pulled Qi Mingxuan into the house. "Let's talk inside!"
Qi Mingxuan nodded and let Han's mother pull her into the house.
"Dad, Mom, let's go inside first!" Han's mother said to the two elderly people. "Xiaoxuan has just been discharged from the hospital, so you must be careful not to catch a cold again."
"Yes, yes, come inside quickly!" Old Madam Han reached out and grasped Qi Mingxuan's other hand, pulling her into the house. "These little hands are so cold, girl, have you suffered these past few years outside?"
"Grandma, I haven't suffered. It's just that I've been quite busy with work these past few years abroad. Plus, the climate and food are different from my hometown, so I might have had some trouble adjusting to the new environment."
"How about we stay in our hometown from now on?" Grandma Han pulled Qi Mingxuan to sit down on the sofa in the living room. "Qi Yue and Xiao Bao are both studying in China. If you stay here, we can take good care of you. Grandma is getting old and has a lot of bones. It's so far away abroad. If I want to see you, I can't even fly over!"
Hearing the old lady's words, Qi Mingxuan was moved, but her guilt also deepened.
The elders in the Han family treated her extremely well. Even though they knew that Qi Yue had gotten pregnant through extreme means, they never had any dissatisfaction or prejudice towards her.
They always cherished her and gave her a warmth she had never experienced in the Qi family.
"Grandma, I'm not leaving." Qi Mingxuan grasped the old woman's hand in return. "I plan to develop my career in China in the future."
"That's wonderful!" Old Madam Han beamed with joy. "Xiao Xuan, Grandma thought I'd never see you and Mingyu reconcile again in this lifetime..."
At this point, the old man's eyes reddened, and he choked up, saying, "It's because we, as elders, didn't raise Mingyu well, causing you and the two children to suffer so much and endure so much injustice. He's such a scoundrel, even if you don't forgive him, we have nothing to say, but the fact that you're willing to forgive him is his good fortune. That brat has a much better life than us..."
Qi Mingxuan has already let go of the past, and naturally doesn't want her elders to keep thinking about those unhappy things from the past.
"Grandma, Mom." Qi Mingxuan held Han's mother's hand in one hand and Han's old lady's hand in the other, and smiled slightly at them, "Those things are all in the past, let's not mention them anymore, okay?"
Madam Han and her mother were taken aback, then exchanged a glance.
A moment later, the two smiled, their eyes slightly red, and they held Qi Mingxuan's hand tightly.
Mother Han smiled and said, "Alright! Let bygones be bygones, let's not talk about it anymore! From now on, our family will live happily ever after!"
"Yes, Mingyu's mother is right!" Old Madam Han said with a smile, "From now on, our family will live happily ever after!"
Mr. Han walked over and looked at Qi Mingxuan, saying, "Xiaoxuan, from now on you are the head of this family, and you have the final say. If Mingyu dares to make you sad or suffer any grievances again, we will kick him out and only recognize you and the two children!"
Han Mingyu, who had just entered the room, was speechless.
