"Fu Yu, come down to eat."

Chen Guoxing stood at the stairs and called for a long time, but she didn't come out.

"Uncle, don't shout. Xiaoyu should be asleep. She hasn't been sleeping well on the train these days."

"You can't skip a meal, though. Going to bed hungry is bad for your stomach."

"Uncle, how about I go up and take a look? What do you think?"

Chen Guoxing looked at him suspiciously. Don't think he didn't know what this brat was planning.

"Let her sleep first. I suddenly thought it would be okay to leave some food for her so she can eat it when she wakes up."

With him around, he would never let anyone enter or leave Fu Yu's room, not even her boyfriend.

Yan Ziyuan also knew his concerns and had to compromise.

He took two bowls, took out some of the packed food and placed them aside.

"You left her only a little bit, how can it be enough? Fill her up with more."

"No need, I've already packed a lot. If I put too much, she won't be able to finish it and will say I'm wasting it. Before Xiaoyu goes to bed, I'll make her a glass of milk and prepare some biscuits so she won't be hungry."

After hearing this, Chen Guoxing's expression became a little embarrassed.

"You...you went to Shanhe Village and lived with my daughter?!"

Otherwise, how could he know so much about her living habits?

Chen Guoxing's expression was very serious at the moment. He looked at Yan Ziyuan with sharp eyes, waiting for his answer.

There was a feeling that if he answered yes, he would immediately go and beat someone up.

"No."

"My brother was also an educated youth who went to the countryside with her. His house was next to Xiaoyu's. I went to the village and lived with him."

"Uncle, don't worry. Unless Xiaoyu and I have a wedding or get married, I will respect her."

After hearing the explanation, Chen Guoxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sit down and have a couple of drinks with me."

"Xiao Yu has made a lot of medicinal wine for you for almost half a year. I brought a lot of it this time. Uncle, do you want to try it?"

"real?"

"Bring it to me and let me taste it."

Yan Ziyuan took out all the wine from his luggage and placed it on the low cabinet next to the living room.

"Did that girl make all these for me?"

"Well, we soaked two large jars, and this is just part of it."

"My daughter is really thoughtful. Bring me a bottle."

Yan Ziyuan picked up a bottle and handed it to him, then sat down opposite Chen Guoxing.

Chen Guoxing took the wine and couldn't wait to open the bottle.

Before he got close enough to the bottle, he could already smell a strong aroma of wine mixed with some scent of medicinal herbs.

“It smells so good!”

"It smells better than the special wine."

"Let me pour you some to try."

Yan Ziyuan picked up a cup and poured half a glass of wine.

"Fill it up!"

Hearing this, he had no choice but to pour another half and put it in front of Chen Guoxing, then poured himself a glass.

"I tried a little bit before, and it not only smelled good, but also tasted amazing."

"You've tasted it before me? Didn't you say you'd make it for me?"

"Um... Uncle, you misunderstood. It was indeed brewed for you."

"Xiao Yu doesn't drink alcohol, and she was afraid it would go bad, so she asked me to help her taste it."

"That's more like it."

Chen Guoxing picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

With just a small sip, he was conquered by the taste of the wine.

At this moment, he somewhat regretted his decision to propose drinking with Yan Ziyuan. He had originally wanted to get him drunk and make him speak the truth, but now he just wanted to pour the wine in Yan Ziyuan's glass back into the bottle and save it for himself to drink slowly later.

But if he really did that, it would make him, as an elder, look too uncultured. He could only sigh and say that it was his mistake.

"Does your family know that you and Fu Yu are in a relationship?"

"Know."

"You are a soldier, and you should know Song Hao's situation. Aren't you worried that he will become an obstacle to your promotion? And your family, can they accept it?"

He had thought about this before. His daughter would eventually need to get married, and as long as the man was of good character, he would not stop her.

However, from his point of view, he did not want Fu Yu to marry a soldier, did not want her to endure her husband's absence for many years, and even more did not want her to marry a man with too good a family.

Although he was the director of a steel plant and his family was relatively well-off in Heng City, he was nothing compared to a military family like Yan Ziyuan.

In his opinion, being ordinary and mediocre is not a bad thing.

A simple family may have an easier life as there are not so many interpersonal relationships to deal with.

But now that they have confirmed their relationship, it is not easy for him to stop them from dating.

"Uncle, you worry too much."

"Actually, I already knew about Xiaoyu's family situation when you saw me last time. I have a comrade-in-arms who now works at the Heng City Public Security Bureau."

"If I really minded, I would never date her, let alone rush to report the marriage to my superiors before we confirmed the relationship."

"As for my family, you don't have to worry about them. I first submitted a marriage report, but it was withheld by my boss. The reason was the same as what you just said, saying that it would affect my promotion."

"But as a man, if I can abandon the woman I love just to get promoted, then what kind of man am I?"

"Were we stopped? Did Fu Yu know?"

"She doesn't know, and I don't want her to know, otherwise she will feel guilty. I just hope she can be happy every day."

"Has the marriage report been approved now?"

"Passed."

"My grandfather called the leader."

"My family hopes that I can bring Xiaoyu home as soon as possible so that we can get married sooner. As for whether we will have any follow-up results, we still need to get your consent."

"Xiao Yu cares a lot about your opinion, which is the main reason why we came to Heng City first. She hopes to get your consent. If you don't agree, Xiao Yu will definitely not continue to be with me."

"Uncle, please rest assured and leave Xiaoyu to me. I will do my best to make her happy and put her first in my life forever. As long as I live, my love will belong to her completely, and I will never have any other thoughts."

After saying this, Yan Ziyuan stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Guoxing.
