The two little guys were particularly attached to Song Yuanzhou, and kept calling him, "Uncle!"
Everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts. Song Yuanzhou was even more moved. He thought he would face all kinds of difficulties after returning home, but he did not expect that everyone would sincerely accept him.
The same was true for the Lai family. Lai Yanping never blamed him from beginning to end, and didn't say a single harsh word on the way back.
Song Yuanzhou, who never drank, suddenly stood up and poured himself a glass of wine. He raised the glass and said to Lai Yanping and Huang Li, "Brother and sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of Yanling over the years. I am grateful for your kindness."
After he finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine. The strong liquor made Song Yuanzhou feel uncomfortable, but he forced himself to swallow it. His face turned red. Lai Yanling looked at him with concern.
Song Yuanzhou motioned her to sit down, and then suddenly poured another cup and drank it as quickly as possible. At this time, Lai Yanping said, "Yuanzhou, we all know that you have your own difficulties. It's good that you are back. If you can't drink, don't force yourself to drink."
What Song Yuanzhou drank was not wine, but his gratitude and apology to everyone. He knew that no one blamed him, and that was why he felt even more uncomfortable.
"Brother, I know that you have been protecting my wife and children all these years. As a husband and a father, I have not fulfilled any of my responsibilities." Song Yuanzhou said this with a flushed face.
"Okay, everyone knows that you feel very guilty. Let's just live a good life from now on. Next we have to get busy with Zhiyao's wedding." Lai Yanling said unhappily.
As soon as Lai Yanling said this, everyone looked at Song Zhiyao, especially Huang Li. She liked to worry about the affairs of the younger generation and had even urged them to get married last time.
When he heard that Song Zhiyao seemed to have a boyfriend, he quickly asked, "Zhiyao, tell your aunt what's going on?"
If other people were facing everyone's gaze, they would definitely feel shy, but Song Zhiyao didn't have that feeling at all.
Faced with the doubts on his relatives' faces, he began to tell them about his relationship with Qin Hanchen, and also explained his family situation in detail.
Lai Yanping, as the uncle, expressed his opinion first, "From what I heard, this guy is indeed a good match for our Zhiyao, but other aspects still need to be considered. When he comes to visit, our family will go and take a look."
However, Huang Li had an impression of Qin Hanchen. Lai Minghua had talked to them about him last time. The young man they met in the hospital that time seemed quite good according to her son's description.
He is tall and handsome, and most importantly, he is a researcher at a young age. Huang Li is very satisfied with this. "He is good-looking, young and talented, so he should be very good.
Zhiyao, you have listened to what your aunt said before. You should choose a good-looking one. Bring that boy home one day, and your aunt will help you test him."
When it comes to her niece's marriage, Huang Li can't care about anything else and even forgets to blame Song Yuanzhou.
He kept pulling Song Zhiyao to ask questions, causing everyone around him to shake their heads.
However, Song Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the time had come for his eldest daughter's marriage, and he would add more dowry when she got married.
He also developed a favorable impression of Qin Hanchen, whom he had never met before, and thought that he would cause him less trouble when he came to visit.
After returning to his uncle's house, except for the neighbors occasionally coming to chat with Song Yuanzhou, the family returned to normal and their way of getting along was no longer as restrained as at the beginning.
Song Zhiyao, who was concentrating on her work, heard a knock on the door and thought it was another colleague. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Qin Hanchen coming. They had agreed not to talk about private matters during work.
Besides, the two of them were not working on any projects together, nor did they discuss any work matters, so she didn't understand why he came to see her? Seeing his anxious look, Song Zhiyao just thought that something must be wrong, so she went out with him.
When she thought that something might have happened to him, Song Zhiyao felt a little nervous.
Seeing that Song Zhiyao looked a little nervous, Qin Hanchen felt very happy, because it meant that she was slowly falling in love with him.
After being happy, he quickly got down to business. "Ahem, Zhiyao, you have to be prepared. My parents are here. They are in a guesthouse not far from the hospital."
He had guessed that his parents would come, but he didn't expect them to come so soon. From the tone of their voices, they wanted to spend the New Year here this year and were determined to help him arrange a marriage.
When he heard his parents were coming, he hurried to meet them at the hospital gate. The first thing Yang Qian said when she saw him was, "Son, don't worry, your parents are here, and your wife will definitely not get away."
Yang Qian's voice was quite loud, and all the medical staff coming and going in the hospital looked in their direction, their eyes full of mockery.
He hurriedly pulled Yang Qian and Qin Wenlong towards the guesthouse, fearing that they were talking about something, which would be bad if Song Zhiyao heard it.
Even though I know Song Zhiyao wouldn't care about other people teasing her, I still don't want her to be unhappy. It's enough for them to just keep their own business to themselves.
After settling his parents, Qin Hanchen hurried back to the hospital to find Song Zhiyao, just to tell her about this as soon as possible.
I thought it was some urgent matter, but I didn't expect it was his parents who came. I was mentally prepared before, but when I heard that his parents came, Song Zhiyao was still a little nervous.

But he looked calm and asked, "Did you take them to dinner?"
Qin Hanchen was really stumped by this question. After settling them in the guesthouse, he thought about telling Song Zhiyao the news as soon as possible and didn't even ask them if they had eaten.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Song Zhiyao rolled her eyes and said, "Take them to dinner quickly. We can talk about other things later."
"Ahem, Zhiyao, I was just excited at the moment and wanted to tell you the news so that you can be prepared. I'll go back and take them out for dinner now.
You also go home and tell your parents that I will bring them to your house in the next two days, how about that?" Qin Hanchen asked nervously.
Since all the elders were here, Song Zhiyao did not show any reserve and nodded readily.
"Didn't we agree on that in advance? You will come over after my family's affairs are settled. Now that your parents are here, I will go back in the evening and ask my mom and them to confirm a time." Song Zhiyao didn't act pretentiously.
I also know what this visit means, especially since his parents are here.
After a long period of getting to know each other, Song Zhiyao was sure that the person she wanted to spend her life with was Qin Hanchen.
Qin Hanchen was as happy as a child after getting the definite answer. If it wasn't for the need to present a steady image in front of Song Zhiyao, he would have wanted to jump up and down.
When Qin Wenlong and Yang Qian saw their son coming back so happily, they knew it was because of Song Zhiyao. He had just left in a hurry, and the two of them guessed what happened?
The two looked at each other and started making eyes.
