After making several phone calls, Xie's mother realized that more than an hour had passed.
Looking at the three children, they all became embarrassed.
"Oh dear, look at Auntie, she's been leaving you hanging here."
"Auntie is fine, Yunyun is here to talk to me."
"By the way, where will you stay when you come back?"
Sanwa wanted to shamelessly stay at their house, but considering he had already secured the help of his future mother-in-law, he figured it was better to be sincere and avoid creating any problems.
"Auntie, our house is still there, and someone is cleaning it. I can go back to live in the old house."
"You live alone, right?"
"yes."
"That's too deserted. Why don't you stay at our place?"
Sanwa resisted the immense temptation and refused. "Auntie, no need, my house isn't far from here."
"Alright then, but you can stay here if you don't want to. You have to come to my place for meals. It's too much trouble for you to cook by yourself. It's not Chinese New Year yet, and we bought a lot of food. It's just me and Yunyun eating, and it would be a waste if we couldn't finish it. It's good that you come over and join us."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
"No need to thank me. Oh, it's so late. I'll go cook then."
"Auntie, let me help you."
"Oh, no need, you can just talk to Yunyun."
Despite making such a long phone call, Xie's mother wasn't tired at all; she went into the kitchen with great enthusiasm and busied herself.
Only Sanwa and Xie Yunyun remained in the living room.
"I didn't realize you were so eloquent," Xie Yunyun teased.
"That's right, you can get to know me better, I'll definitely satisfy you."
"This guy is getting more and more reckless," Xie Yunyun glared at him.
Although Xie's mother said there was no need for help, the third child still squeezed into the kitchen later.
He helped his mother with these things a lot when he was at home, so he's quite skilled at it now.
Seeing that he could still do kitchen work, Xie's mother was even more satisfied.
When it was time to eat, they kept piling food onto Sanwa's plate, and Sanwa ate until he was stuffed from such warm hospitality.
After finishing his meal and resting for a while, he said goodbye and left. Xie's mother even kicked Xie Yunyun out to see someone else off.
As the two walked side by side, Sanwa suddenly said, "Xie Yunyun, does that mean you've agreed to be with me?"
Xie Yunyun was at a loss for words. In fact, the fortress she had built had already been gradually broken down by his actions, but she just couldn't bring herself to say yes.
It's as if I had persevered for ten years, endured all the hardships, and thought there was no hope, so I gave up and gave up. Then he came back to tease me, like it was all a joke.
"Xie Yunyun, tell me what I'm not to your liking, and I'll change it." Sanwa was a little anxious.
He was afraid she would stay silent; even just cursing at him or venting her anger would be better than this.
"Li Yan'an, what are your views on marriage and family?" she suddenly asked.
Sanwa's expression became serious.
“Xie Yunyun, I’m pursuing you again after careful consideration. Marriage is sacred to me. I didn’t want to before because I felt I wasn’t right for it. I never thought I would meet someone I’m willing to spend my life with.”
He may seem heartless, but deep down he has always envied his parents' love.
Who wouldn't be moved by such a deep and devoted relationship?
"A marriage and a family are not easy; they require both parties to manage them carefully and be tolerant of each other."
"I don't know what kind of answer you want to hear, but for me, if I'm willing to get married, I want to spend my whole life with my partner, and I will also take on the responsibilities I should have for my family."
He didn't say anything like "I will always love you" or "I will always be good to you." He only talked about companionship and responsibility, which calmed Xie Yunyun's hesitant heart. At that moment, she finally understood.
"Li Yan'an, I don't know what the future holds, but right now, I'm willing to give it a try with you."
"You promised me?" Sanwa asked in surprise.
"Yes, I agree to be with you." Xie Yunyun smiled.
The next second, she was hugged tightly. "Yunyun, thank you, thank you! I'm so happy, I didn't expect this!" Sanwa was so excited that she became somewhat incoherent.
Xie Yunyun felt embarrassed because people were passing by, so she broke free from his embrace.
"Someone's watching."
"Let them look, we're a couple now."
Hearing that the two were a couple, Xie Yunyun's heart blossomed again.
Originally, Xie Yunyun was supposed to come out to see someone off, but Sanwa ended up taking her back to her doorstep instead.
"Alright, you can go up now. I can get there by myself. Otherwise, I'll worry about you. Call me if anything happens, and I'll come find you again tomorrow morning."
Xie Yunyun nodded.
Watching her go upstairs, Sanwa turned around and jumped up and down several times with the joy of a child.
As he walked toward the old house, he didn't forget to take out his phone to make a call.
"Mom, I have great news for you! Yunyun said yes! Hahahaha..."
"Dad, I'm telling you..."
"Brother, let me tell you..."
"Sister, I..."
Actually, many of the people he called are actually together right now.
After finishing their calls, they looked at each other helplessly.
This also shows how excited the third child was.
He just wanted to announce it to everyone: Li Yan'an now has a girlfriend!
The excited Sanwa even sent messages to his colleagues and classmates in his contact list. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was getting married soon and was inviting them to his wedding.
People can only marvel at how these people, who don't usually date, are surprisingly passionate when they do.
There were some things that Xie's mother couldn't ask in front of Sanwa, so she waited until Sanwa left before continuing to question her daughter.
Now that she had agreed to be together, Xie Yunyun decided to let go of those misunderstandings and entanglements and wouldn't mention them to her mother.
When Xie's mother learned that her daughter had accepted Sanwa's advances, she was overjoyed and almost made phone calls everywhere to spread the news, just like Sanwa did.
It was Xie Yunyun who managed to calm her agitated mother down, saying that she had already said a lot of "bad things" about the Sun family today, and it wasn't good for her to announce that she had a boyfriend so soon.
Xie's mother thought it made sense, so she held back. However, she was also planning to keep it a secret until her daughter and Sanwa's relationship was stable and they were discussing marriage, and then she would tell them to scare those who looked down on her daughter to death.
Hmph, her daughter either doesn't look for a partner at all, or she finds one that's so good you couldn't find a better one even with a lantern.
Overjoyed, Xie's mother spoke countless words to the portraits of her husband and in-laws, shedding many tears as she spoke.
My daughter has suffered for so many years, and she can finally be happy.
Listening to her mother's nagging and crying outside, Xie Yunyun also shed tears.
Yes, Xie Yunyun has finally found her own happiness.
Feeling conflicted, she tossed and turned until very late before finally falling asleep.
Sanwa was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He only managed to doze off for a while around dawn before getting up to take a shower, change clothes, and get ready.
Once he looks in the mirror and feels great, he excitedly goes out to find his girlfriend.
Oh my, this is their first official date after they officially became a couple.
