Han Yixian held He Yuhan's hand and smiled, "I'm glad you like it. From now on, you'll be the mistress of this place. You can decorate and renovate it however you like. I just don't know when we can move in together."
He Yuhan glared at Han Yixian and said, "You're already in such a hurry after just getting engaged? If you dare to bring up marriage with my family now, my parents will definitely kick you out. You think you can just snatch their daughter away so quickly? They won't let you have your way. They don't want me to get married so early."
Han Yixian grabbed He Yuhan's hand and squeezed it tightly twice, saying, "How can I not be anxious? As long as I don't marry you, I'll worry about you being taken away by someone else."
I'm all alone now, and I long for a home of my own, a home with you and our children. Every day I dream about that day coming.
Hearing Han Yixian's words and seeing the glint of tears in his eyes, He Yuhan was deeply moved. She held Han Yixian's hand tightly and said, "Brother Han, I won't be taken away by anyone. We will have a home. A home of our own, and we will have our own children in the future."
Upon hearing He Yuhan's words, Han Yixian excitedly hugged her tightly. He felt that anything he did would be worthwhile just to hear He Yuhan say such things.
He Yuhan pointed out to Han Yixian what to plant here and what to plant there in the yard.
Throughout the entire conversation, Han Yixian listened with a look of doting affection as his fiancée discussed how she planned to decorate their future home.
After making plans for the front and back yards, the two went inside.
Looking at the room, which only had furniture and no other household items, He Yuhan said, "You don't need to worry about the household items; I'll take care of them. I'll make the curtains, bedding, and things like that little by little. This house was only built a short time ago, so it needs to be aired out properly. We'll move in after it's completely dry, otherwise it'll be too damp and bad for our health."
Han Yixian said, "I don't plan to live here yet. I want to move in when we get married."
He Yuhan said, "Then why not move in earlier? It would be such a waste to leave such a nice house unoccupied. Besides, if you move in first, the house will have some life in it, and you can gradually furnish it. Why do we have to wait until our wedding to move in?"
Han Yixian said, "I just wanted you to live in the new house."
He Yuhan said, "There's no need for so many formalities. We can just redecorate when we get married. Next year, we'll be planting all sorts of flowers, trees, and shrubs here. Who will take care of them if you don't move in? I think you can move in next spring when the house is aired out."
Han Yixian nodded and said, "Then let's use the west room as our future wedding room, and we won't live in that room for now."
He Yuhan said, "Okay, let's do it your way. Actually, I don't care about this at all. Whether the house is new or old, or whether it's luxurious or not, doesn't matter. What matters is our hearts. As long as we're of one mind, it doesn't matter where we live."
Han Yixian gently pinched He Yuhan's nose and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to my little fiancée. I'll move in next spring."
He Yuhan said, "I'll help you decorate the room later, I guarantee you'll like it."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "If you like it, I like it. You can decorate it however you like."
The two of them discussed how to decorate this place and that place in the room. They tirelessly planned and envisioned their future home.
Thinking about the bright future ahead, He Yuhan was no longer so opposed to getting married early.
Han Yixian thought of his father's phone call and said, "Yuhan, my father called this morning. He knows we're engaged and that you're not dead. He also urged me to come back to the Han family."
He Yuhan asked, "So what did you say?"
Han Yixian said, "Of course I will not go back to Kyoto or the Han family. I will go wherever you are from now on."
Han Yikun has really infuriated him lately. He's extremely disappointed in Han Yikun; he'd rather hand over the Han family business to his second uncle's children than to Han Yikun.
He Yuhan asked, "You've certainly dealt with Han Yikun quite a bit, haven't you?"
Han Yixian said, "I would never resort to any means to achieve my goals like they do. I always use legitimate means. Han Yikun only has himself to blame."
Not only Han Yikun, but Zeng Yufen can forget about sitting comfortably in her position as the matriarch of the Han family. I will slowly expose her true colors.
My father is already very disappointed in her, and Zeng Yufen's life will only get harder from now on. I want her to slowly taste the bitterness of being 'cut by a dull knife.'
He Yuhan laughed and said, "They're in the open, and you're in the dark. I bet they never imagined that you could still deal with them even after leaving Kyoto. No wonder so many people say you're ruthless in your scheming. You're really cunning."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "How can you call me cunning? I call it resourcefulness. I didn't use any underhanded methods. It's just that they have too many loose ends, and I can't help but nitpick."
He Yuhan laughed heartily at Han Yixian's antics. They had a very enjoyable afternoon. It could be considered a successful date.
It wasn't until evening that Han Yixian took He Yuhan back to the He family home, where he also had dinner and spent some more time with his fiancée.
After the engagement party, He Yuhan stayed at home for two more days. The two little ones, He Haobo and Gu Huayang, loved to stick with her, and He Yuhan made them a lot of delicious food at home.
He Yuhan wanted to go back to Laohewan Village, and Han Yixian volunteered to drive her back, which could be considered a date between the two of them.
Upon arriving at Laohewan Village and entering his home, Han Yixian tidied up the earthen heating system and lit the stove, quickly warming up the somewhat chilly house.
Wang Yuqiao and Du Haifeng, along with their brothers, take care of the family, so there's not much to do.
Wang Yuqiao kept the kang (heated brick bed) burning because she was afraid her daughter might come back at any time, so the kang was always warm.
Han Yixian went to the backyard and bought a lot of firewood, enough for He Yuhan to burn for at least half a month.
He Yuhan looked at Han Yixian, who was sweating profusely from chopping firewood, and said, "Brother Han, you don't need to chop so much firewood. I can chop more whenever I need it."
Han Yixian said, "Chopping firewood is not something you can do. Don't worry about it. I will come once a week from now on. Save any physical labor you need for me. After I finish chopping this firewood, you can pick out the smaller pieces to burn. I will chop more firewood for you when I come back."
It'll get colder day by day, so make sure the stove burns brightly every day. I'll get you more coal when it runs out.
You're prone to stomach aches and sensitive to cold, so please don't wash your hands or cook with cold water when it gets cold. From now on, there will always be hot water on the stove so you can always have hot water available.
Han Yixian's words of concern warmed He Yuhan's heart.
