While Han Yixian was chatting with his father in his office, He Yuhan, who was resting at home, heard someone knocking on the courtyard gate. When she asked at the door, she found out it was Zhou Zhengye.
Although she really didn't want to see Zhou Zhengye, she couldn't very well turn him away since he was already at her doorstep.
After opening the courtyard gate, He Yuhan saw Zhou Zhengye standing at the gate and said, "Brother Zhou, what brings you here?"
Looking at He Yuhan, who had grown even more beautiful and charming, Zhou Zhengye's eyes flashed with amazement as he replied, "I heard from others that Yi Xian had returned to Kyoto. After inquiring, I found out that you had an accident, so I came here to try my luck. I didn't expect you to actually live here."
"Yuhan, are you alright? Where's Yixian?"
He Yuhan invited Zhou Zhengye into the courtyard and replied, "I'm fine. Brother Han has gone out. Why don't you go inside and wait for him for a while?"
“Okay, I haven’t seen you guys in a long time either. I’ll have a good talk with him when he gets back,” Zhou Zhengye said happily.
He Yuhan invited Zhou Zhengye into the living room, made him some tea, and the two sat down to talk.
Zhou Zhengye took a sip of hot tea and said, "Last time I heard that Yixian got engaged, I called him to question him without knowing the truth, only to find out that you were safe and sound. I also heard that you found your biological parents?"
He Yuhan nodded and replied, "Yes, my parents are in City C now, living with me. My two older brothers are there too. They used to live in Beijing, but they only moved there in the last two years."
Zhou Zhengye nodded and said, "That's good. Living with your parents will provide some support. Yixian deliberately concealed his whereabouts when he returned to Kyoto this time, so I only just found out that he was back in Kyoto, and that's when I learned about you. Fortunately, you're back safe and sound."
When are you and Yi Xianding getting married?
He Yuhan replied, "We're going back this time to prepare for our wedding. We'd like to discuss the specific date with our parents when we get back."
Zhou Zhengye felt a sense of relief upon hearing this, but still said, "Of course, I should discuss it with my parents. Let me know when you set the wedding date so I can attend your wedding."
After finishing his business, Han Yixian didn't linger outside. Worried about He Yuhan, he hurried home.
When I got home, I was surprised to find Zhou Zhengye there.
He Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Han Yixian return. She let Han Yixian talk to Zhou Zhengye while she went to the kitchen to cook. It was almost noon, so she definitely had to invite Zhou Zhengye to stay for lunch.
After He Yuhan went to the kitchen, Zhou Zhengye complained to Han Yixian, "You really aren't very nice. You went back to Kyoto without saying a word, and I only just found out you were back."
"Is Yuhan alright this time?"
Han Yi first hung his coat on the hanger, then sat on the sofa and said, "For Yu Han's safety, I kept my return to Kyoto a secret at first. Fortunately, I managed to rescue Yu Han without any major incident this time."
I was just about to go find you, but you beat me to it.
Zhou Zhengye asked, "Has Uncle Han met Yuhan?"
Han Yi nodded and said, "I've met him. My dad came here yesterday, had lunch here, and stayed until the afternoon before leaving. He's very satisfied with Yuhan and has completely accepted her as his daughter-in-law."
Zhou Zhengye then asked, "So you're planning to return to the Han family?"
Han Yixian poured himself a cup of tea and said, "No, my dad has agreed to let me start my own business. No matter what, I'm still his son, and that won't change."
Zhou Zhengye sighed and said, "To be honest, I'm actually a little envious of you. You can go out and live the life you want, free and easy, with your loved ones by your side."
Han Yi took a sip of hot tea and looked at Zhou Zhengye's somewhat bitter smile, saying, "What, you haven't found your other half yet?"
Zhou Zhengye gave a wry smile and said, "My mother is constantly looking for marriage partners for me, all of them are rich young ladies from prominent families. I find them disgusting."
Han Yixian said, "Why don't you find someone from a similar family background?"
Zhou Zhengye glanced at Han Yixian and shook his head, saying, "Do you think everyone is as lucky as you to meet a girl as perfect as Yuhan?"
I heard that Yuhan is the daughter of the He family in Kyoto, so her family background is quite prestigious. Therefore, you don't have the problem of mismatched family backgrounds.
Even though He Yuhan doesn't have a prestigious family background, her own strengths completely compensate for that. But it's unlikely you'll find another He Yuhan in the world.
Han Yixian knew that Zhou Zhengye also liked He Yuhan, but he had beaten him to it first. He knew that Zhou Zhengye must be feeling bitter right now, so he didn't want to hurt him.
Han Yixian advised, "Don't be too demanding. There are still some nice girls in Kyoto."
Zhou Zhengye rolled his eyes at Han Yixian and said, "Not bad, how come you didn't like any of them?"
Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. So you're planning to stay in City C and never go back to Kyoto?
Han Yi leaned back on the sofa and smoothed his hair, saying, "That's not necessarily true. I'm just following in Yu Han's footsteps. Wherever Yu Han is, that's where I am."
Zhou Zhengye teased him with some surprise, "Are you going to become a henpecked husband? You'll listen to Yuhan from now on."
Han Yixian rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhengye and said, "I call this loving my wife, you know? When you meet someone you love, you'll definitely feel the same way I do."
Zhou Zhengye thought to himself, "I'd like to show some affection, but you've already taken her away. Who am I supposed to show affection to?"
He Yuhan prepared four dishes and a soup according to the appetite of three people, with rice as the staple food.
Seeing He Yuhan carrying dishes into the house, Han Yixian stopped chatting and quickly helped his wife carry the dishes.
When the food was served, Zhou Zhengye didn't stand on ceremony and sat down at the table. Looking at the glistening braised pork, he said with delight, "It's so great to be able to eat braised pork today. I've been craving Yuhan's cooking, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance to eat it since I returned to Kyoto."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "Then Brother Zhou, please eat more this time."
He Yuhan also took out a bottle of wine and gave it to the two men.
The two men were delighted to see that there was wine to drink, and they poured themselves a drink and started drinking back and forth.
Even while drinking, Han Yixian didn't forget to take care of He Yuhan, putting a lot of food into her bowl and serving her a bowl of soup. "Eat quickly, the food will be ready soon."
Seeing Han Yixian showing affection in front of Zhou Zhengye, He Yuhan politely said, "Thank you, Brother Han. You should eat too." Then she also put a lot of food in Han Yixian's bowl.
Zhou Zhengye felt a pang of bitterness watching the two of them openly display their affection, disregarding his feelings. "Can't you two also consider my feelings as a single man?"
After saying that, he lowered his head and turned the sourness into appetite, and began to eat heartily.
Having finally gotten to eat He Yuhan's cooking again, he wanted to eat more today, preferably leaving Han Yi unsatisfied.
