Yan Qingya cried in He Zhenhua's arms for a long time before stopping, and then she awkwardly withdrew from He Zhenhua's embrace.
Through their interactions over this period, Yan Qingya learned that He Zhenhua was a very good person, capable, responsible, not chauvinistic, and a promising young man of excellent character.
He had been hurt just like her, so she initially felt a sense of sympathy for He Zhenhua, and later gradually developed feelings for him.
Although He Zhenhua is divorced and has a child, given his circumstances, many women would be willing to marry him if he wanted to find a young and beautiful woman.
She knew her situation; her infertility was a death sentence for her. What man would want to marry a woman who wasn't complete? Therefore, even though she had feelings for He Zhenhua, she never dared to show them. Having experienced the annulment of their engagement, she would never dream of such things again.
But today, first He Yuhan comforted her, and now He Zhenhua confessed his feelings to her, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
Faced with He Zhenhua's sincere words, she wavered. She wanted to give herself a chance, a chance to find happiness.
She wasn't a weak person to begin with, and she had become much stronger after the last broken engagement. If He Zhenhua ultimately betrayed her too, she would give up all hope for the rest of her life and live out her days alone.
After making up her mind, Yan Qingya looked at He Zhenhua with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother He, I can't have children and I was jilted before. Don't you really mind?"
He Zhenhua held Yan Qingya's hand and said, "I've been married before and have a child. Will you look down on me?"
Yan Qingya shook her head and said, "Of course not."
He Zhenhua said, "That settles it then. If you don't look down on me, why should I look down on you? We've both been hurt, so we can understand each other. We also share many common interests and perspectives, and we can resonate with each other on a deeper level. Most importantly, I like you. Qingya, please give me a chance."
Yan Qingya said, "If you also betray me in the future, I will only be able to grow old alone for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing this, He Zhenhua knew that Yan Qingya had agreed to his request, and excitedly replied, "I will not let you down, I will cherish you for the rest of my life. It is my blessing to have you by my side in the future."
Upon hearing He Zhenhua's words, Yan Qingya's tears flowed uncontrollably again.
He Zhenhua cupped Yan Qingya's face and wiped away her tears, saying, "Don't cry anymore, your eyes are all swollen. Everything will be alright in the future, we will be happy."
"Be good, stop crying, wash your face, it'll be time to eat soon."
Just as He Zhenhua finished speaking, Yan Qingya's stomach growled, and Yan Qingya blushed with embarrassment.
He Zhenhua looked at Yan Qingya, whose face was flushed, and smiled, "I'm hungry too. Let's hurry up and pack up. Yuhan will definitely come to call us for dinner in a little while."
Sure enough, just as He Zhenhua finished speaking, He Yuhan called out from the next courtyard, "Big brother, dinner's ready."
He Yuhan also heard Yan Qingya crying earlier, and she cried for a long time, which was heard by Gu Qishen and the others in the room. They asked what happened.
He Yuhan knew that her older brother must have confessed his feelings to Yan Qingya. After hearing Yan Qingya stop crying and the two of them stayed in the living room for half a day, she knew that Yan Qingya had accepted her older brother, and she was happy for him.
Her eldest brother has finally found someone he loves and can find his own happiness, no longer having to grow old alone. She believes her parents will be very happy too.
As for Yan Qingya's inability to have children, her family doesn't care much at all.
Tonight, He Yuhan specially added two more dishes to celebrate that her older brother can finally be openly with Yan Qingya.
The food was already on the table, and it would get cold if we didn't eat soon, so He Yuhan called her older brother and Yan Qingya to eat.
He Zhenhua prepared a basin of clean water for Yan Qingya to wash her face, and then took Yan Qingya back to He Yuhan's place for dinner.
He Yuhan watched as her older brother pulled Yan Qingya, whose face was flushed, into the house and smiled, "Big brother, Qingya, congratulations!"
He Zhenhua said, "Qingya will be my girlfriend from now on, with marriage in mind. Let's take care of each other in the future."
Everyone congratulated him upon hearing this.
Gu Qishen patted He Zhenhua on the shoulder and laughed, "Good job, Zhenhua, you're quick. I thought you'd have to wait a while. Since you've already decided on each other, get along well and try to get married as soon as possible."
Gu Qishen had long seen through He Zhenhua's intentions, and now that He Zhenhua had finally gotten what he wanted, he was happy for him.
He Yuhan said, "That's right, you two know each other well, so you should get married soon. Big brother, you should call Mom and Dad and ask them to come and handle the wedding arrangements for you."
The wedding ceremony for Qingya, who is marrying into our family, should proceed as usual. We should prepare to propose marriage to Qingya's family as soon as possible, so that both sets of parents can meet.
Wen Jinyu said, "That makes sense. Both sets of parents should meet in advance."
Yan Qingya said, "I received a call from home today saying that my mother came to Qianyuan County to visit me."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan said, "That's perfect. Let Auntie see my older brother and see if she's satisfied with him as a son-in-law. Since my parents aren't here, I'm practically family to my brother. When my in-laws arrive, I'll treat them well on behalf of my parents."
Wen Jinyu said, "Qingya, since your mother is here, let her stay at our house. We have rooms available. We can also take good care of your mother."
He Zhenhua was a little nervous when he heard that his future mother-in-law was coming. He said, "Yes, we have empty rooms in our yard. Auntie will have a place to stay. Please don't let her stay at your uncle's house. Your uncle's house is also quite cramped."
Yan Qingya said, "My mother will definitely go to my uncle's place first. But she can live with me."
Because she had just confirmed her relationship with He Zhenhua, Yan Qingya felt embarrassed to stay any longer after dinner, and He Zhenhua took her back to her residence.
He Yuhan was thinking about what to prepare.
Since her parents aren't here right now, she naturally has to worry more about what her older brother needs for his wedding.
Although it was her second marriage, Yan Qingya was getting married for the first time, so the wedding couldn't be taken lightly and the Yan family couldn't find fault with it.
He Zhenhua was a little nervous about his future mother-in-law's arrival, and after seeing Yan Qingya off, he quickly went to discuss it with his sister.
With our parents away, my younger sister has to take care of many things.
He Zhenhua said, "Little sister, I don't know much about marriage matters either. Could you give me some advice on what to do?"
He Yuhan said, "Don't worry, big brother. I'll call Mom and Dad tomorrow to tell them the good news and discuss it with them. I reckon they'll definitely come back for such a big event as your wedding."
As for your future in-laws coming, don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of them. Brother, you also need to make a good impression and please your future mother-in-law, so you and Qingya can get married sooner.
