Then, Yan Honglan and Li Haotian left the restaurant together and headed home.
Li Haotian is a very gentle person. He knows Honglan, but they don't interact much and aren't very familiar with each other.
Along the way, Yan Honglan felt slightly awkward, unsure of what to say to ease the tension, but remaining silent only made the atmosphere seem even more awkward.
Suddenly, Li Haotian smiled faintly at Honglan and gently asked her, "Honglan, I'm happy to see that you can get over Wang Weicheng's situation. I was worried about you before, and I was afraid that you would be devastated."
"Thank you, I'm fine now, the past is the past." Actually, no one mentions this matter in front of her anymore, and even if they do, it's done very subtly, which makes Yan Honglan feel a little awkward.
It was rare for someone to talk to her so openly about Wang Weicheng, and she inexplicably felt a desire to confide in them.
She smiled at Li Haotian, "Actually, I'm doing just fine without a man, it's nothing."
Looking at her, Li Haotian shook his head slightly, his tone even gentler than before, "Honglan, there is more than just Wang Weicheng in this world. As long as you feel with your heart, there are many people who care about you."
Li Honglan nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I know. My family and friends care about me a lot."
“I’m not talking about your family and friends, I’m talking about…” Li Haotian immediately shook his head, looking somewhat uneasy, as if there was something he was having trouble saying.
He gently bit his lip, then looked at Yan Honglan seriously and said earnestly, "I'm talking about myself. Haven't you noticed that I've always been paying attention to you?"
"I..." Yan Honglan shook her head, somewhat bewildered. She really hadn't noticed that Li Haotian was paying attention to her. Why was Li Haotian paying attention to her? They were relatives, but their relationship was still quite distant.
Li Haotian seemed to understand Yan Honglan's confusion, and he put it more bluntly, "Honglan, I know you may not be able to accept me right now, but could you consider me?"
As if afraid that Yan Honglan would look down on his identity, he immediately added, "Although I am just an adopted son of the Li family and may not be able to give you a very wealthy life, I will do my best to take care of you, protect you, and not let you suffer."
"Haotian, wait a minute..." Yan Honglan looked at Li Haotian, as if she understood what he meant, but she was still somewhat incredulous.
She never imagined that Li Haotian would like her. When did this happen?
Seeing what she wanted to ask, Li Haotian blushed slightly, his expression a little shy, but he still said firmly, "I like you, and I've liked you for a long time, but I've never had the chance to say it. I was afraid you wouldn't accept me. After all, given my background, I'm not good enough for you. If the Li family hadn't adopted me, I would just be a country bumpkin..."
Yan Honglan didn't care about any of that. She quickly waved her hand, "Haotian, it has nothing to do with this. I've never thought about us. We'll have a future together. I..."
As if worried that Yan Honglan would immediately reject him, Li Haotian didn't even have the courage to listen to the end of his sentence. He shook his head at Yan Honglan and said, "You don't need to rush to answer me. Take your time to think about it, or rather, take your time to get to know me."
As they walked and talked, they arrived at the Yan family's courtyard.
Li Haotian took the key from Yan Honglan, went into the yard first, and took out all the things in the yard.
He picked up the two baskets of things by himself and went on his way.
He walked a short distance forward, then turned around to see if Yan Honglan had followed.
Yan Honglan was flustered by Li Haotian's sudden confession and it took her a while to react.
When Li Haotian looked at her, she had just locked the door. Worried that he would wait too long, she immediately ran to him.
Looking at her, Li Haotian smiled slightly and whispered, "Slow down, I'll wait for you."
This smile startled Yan Honglan.
Li Haotian's smile was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warming her heart and making her feel cozy all over.
She nodded and immediately followed.
At this moment, she didn't know if there would be a future between her and Li Haotian, but she didn't want to reject him.
In her sister-in-law's words, why not give yourself a chance?
Does she really have to give up her beautiful love for Wang Weicheng?
Why should she punish herself for someone else's mistakes?
The two returned to the courtyard, where everyone was having a lively time.
Yan Junting and Yun Duoduo were surrounded by their comrades in the army as they went up on stage to say a few words and share the secret to their happy family.
Originally, they just wanted to have a meal as a family and didn't plan to do any of this, but their comrades pushed them up, and he pulled Yun Duoduo along, bringing the three children onto the stage.
A group of subordinates below egged him on, "Commander Yan, tell us how to have triplets. We won't share anything else, but we have to share this!"
"Yes, yes, this must be said."
Yan Junting glared at the brothers who were egging him on, then waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Then, he reached out and took Yun Duoduo's hand, who was standing next to him, and smiled at everyone, "I don't have much to share, but you all have to remember one thing: cherish your wives, love your wives, treat your wives like treasures. If your wives are good, your family will be harmonious, and if your family is harmonious, everything will prosper."
"Wife, thank you. Because of you, my life is complete. Because of you, my life is fulfilling. And because of you, I can be a happy husband and father."
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
That's right. A good husband comes first, then a good wife. When the wife is good, the family will naturally be harmonious.
Isn't the purpose of life simply to have a harmonious family and a prosperous future?
Standing beside him, Yun Duoduo also looked at Yan Junting with deep affection. She was grateful to God for letting her meet such a tolerant, considerate, and loving husband.
Looking at her family below the stage, she felt even more grateful that God had given her all the good things in the world.
