However, making this decision is the most worrying part. "I know, but it's also important to get along well with my parents-in-law beforehand."
“I understand what you mean. I’ll compile a list of Yuzhen and her husband’s preferences and habits and send it to you right away. You should also work harder to marry Yanyan as soon as possible. After all, you’re not getting any younger.”
Is 27 years old a lot?
Yi Qiansheng was puzzled.
However, compared to Ning Yan, he was indeed a bit older. If he were two years younger, they could have met and fallen in love on campus.
However, it's alright. A fleeting glimpse at twenty-two, an unexpected reunion at twenty-seven—perhaps this is fate.
That's right. He had met Ning Yan once before, after he graduated from university. His father insisted that he work for his own company. He had a lot of things to do in his own company, so how could he possibly take over his father's company?
But there's nothing I can do; my father will resort to force.
They insisted on sending bodyguards to his company to drag him into a car.
He remembers that the road was not congested that day, yet their car was hit by a taxi.
A short while later, Ning Yan opened the car door and got out of the taxi.
He remembered her profile and the beautiful, ankle-length, light purple floral dress she wore. His gaze followed her until she disappeared from sight...
He thought it was just an ordinary encounter in his life, something he would forget in the blink of an eye, and that they would never have the chance to meet again in the vast sea of people.
Unexpectedly, on the day his parents forced him to go on a blind date, he met her again.
He still remembers that day vividly. She must have really liked floral maxi dresses; when she reached out her hand to him, his heart pounded wildly…
Soon, he received a message from his aunt, who told him that his future mother-in-law liked to wear cheongsams. After getting the measurements from his aunt, he quickly asked his assistant to find out the best cheongsam maker.
Knowing that his future father-in-law was unhappy at his previous company, he simply hired a headhunter to poach people and put them in the sales department of his father's company, offering them high salaries.
My father-in-law has come to Beijing. How far away is my mother-in-law?
One day, Ms. Zuo suddenly received two packages.
She couldn't remember buying anything, but after inquiring, she learned that it was a gift from her future son-in-law, who lived far away in Beijing. She opened the package and saw that it contained six cheongsams in six different colors, four summer styles and two winter styles, all embroidered with beautiful patterns, clearly handmade.
The other package contained food and fruit, filling the eldest brother's entire box. It also contained a pair of thermos cups and a large bag of health tea.
Hey, I bet my husband will be unhappy when he gets back. Oh well, what can I do? His hobbies are smoking and drinking. This future son-in-law is thoughtful enough not to bring her any of those things that would upset her.
So she also picked out some gifts for the Yi family and mailed them over. K City is more than two hours away from Beijing by car, and express delivery can arrive on the same day, so she bought some local specialties from K City.
Even though they are so close, there are still some differences between the two places.
For example, K City is famous for its peaches. Peach trees are so well-grown in K City that you can enjoy the best quality peaches from May to October.
She bought two boxes of the best-looking, perfectly ripe peaches and mailed them over.
There is also the famous Tibetan sheep breeding in K City.
Kill two and mail them over as well.
When Yi Qiansheng saw that the return gifts had been mailed, she was overjoyed. She kept half of the gifts for herself and sent the other half to her parents.
He carefully stored the peaches in the refrigerator to eat slowly, and following the cooking guide written by his future mother-in-law, he cooked a pot of clear stewed mutton that night, which was indeed very delicious.
So, a few days later, he sent the items over again and even added Zuo Yuzhen and Zuo Yuzhen on WeChat, sending them messages from time to time to check on them.
And so, without Ning Yan's knowledge, her future partner was racking his brains to please his future in-laws in order to bring her into the family as soon as possible, all because of what his "mom said".
This leads to the conclusion that listening to elders is indeed helpful.
If it weren't for the obstacle that Ning Yan "artificially" set up, Yi Qiansheng wouldn't have needed to spend so much effort on her.
The saying that the more you give, the more you will cherish something is sometimes true.
It's like a man who gets a marriage certificate with his girlfriend without having a wedding. If their life becomes a little unsatisfactory, he'll file for divorce because marriage has no cost, and it's too easy to find someone else.
But if a man spends all his savings to marry a woman (the author is not advocating for exorbitant dowries, but rather referring to sunk costs. However, if the wording is unclear and makes anyone uncomfortable, please be gentle with your criticism), when the two have conflicts, he might consider divorce, but he won't actually do it because he's spent too much. If he divorces this woman, where will he find the money to marry another one?
Of course, all of this comes with prerequisites.
That means your elders are intelligent and genuinely care about you, rather than trying to raise you into a spoiled brat who only supports his brother.
...
Two months and three days later, Ning Yan finally returned. Before leaving the mountains, Ning Yan had called Yi Qiansheng, so the man came to the airport to pick her up.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were very busy at the company?"
Yi Qiansheng walked over and took her luggage: "I'm busy because I need to make time for you. You won't be busy anymore once you come back."
Ning Yan quickly greeted her superiors and introduced Yi Qiansheng. Accompanying them were two geological experts who worked at universities, and the leader of their exploration team, who was also her direct supervisor.
Yi Qiansheng called out to the people and introduced them. Then the leader dismissed them, saying, "Alright, alright, you two can go back now. You were supposed to have three days off, but this discovery is too big. You have to come to the office to report tomorrow. You can rest properly after this is over."
"I know the leader will definitely arrive on time tomorrow."
After saying goodbye to his colleagues, Yi Qiansheng pulled Ning Yan's luggage with one hand and held her hand with the other, and the two walked out together.
Yi Qiansheng kept an eye on Ning Yan's expression. Seeing that she wasn't angry, he became bolder and insisted on interlacing his fingers with Ning Yan's, their fingers tightly clasped together.
The man was satisfied, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Soon, the two got into the black luxury car that was waiting outside. The driver took the suitcase from the boss's hand, and the two got into the car hand in hand.
What would you like to eat for lunch?
Ning Yan: "You can arrange it as you see fit, as long as it's not Western food."
"Um, there's something I need to tell you..."
"you say."
"My parents want to meet you. When are you available?"
Ning Yan immediately took out her phone to make a call: "My mom said that girls shouldn't just go to their friends' houses. However, our relationship is different from that of friends, so you'll have to wait for me to ask, so as not to be impolite." (End of Chapter)
