Chapter 1074: Parting Words

Zhu Zhibin grabbed a hoe as soon as he got out of the car, ready to help Zhu Shunyao plant rose bushes in the courtyard flower bed.

“Where did these roses come from?” Zhu Yanli asked curiously, getting up. “The colors are pretty, and the flowers look big.”

Indeed, the roses they brought were one deep red and one creamy yellow. The blooms were as large as small bowls. Most importantly, there were several buds on these plants, showing they were a good variety.

“My brother-in-law’s family has been growing roses for sale these past few years. It’s a good income. Today I went over, saw these roses were nice, and asked for two plants,” Zhu Shunyao answered while digging the soil.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly and walked over, watching Zhu Shunyao plant the flowers. “By the way, Baba, Brother Yan said he is leaving tomorrow. Remember to pack some of our local specialties for him to take back.”

“Okay.” Zhu Shunyao waved his hand, indicating he understood.

Zhu Zhibin watched Yan Aohan playing mahjong nearby. “Brother Yan, are you leaving tomorrow? So early?”

Yan Aohan smiled and said, “I could have stayed a few more days, but some small matters came up that I need to handle back home, so I plan to leave tomorrow.” Yan Aohan naturally would not tell them he had rushed over specifically for this.

“Brother Yan, you don’t need to feel reluctant, and you don’t need to miss me. I am going back in a few days too,” Zhu Zhibin suddenly said.

“You little rascal, who misses you?” Zhu Shunyao laughed and scolded lightly. Then he said to Yan Aohan, “Little Yan, the siblings will return to the capital around the tenth day of the first month. Please take good care of them then.”

Zhang Haifeng, listening nearby, paused slightly. He glanced at Yan Aohan, then at Zhu Shunyao, and remained silent. In his heart, he thought, The boss is truly the boss. Even the father-in-law trusts him so much.

Fortunately, Zhu Shunyao did not know Zhang Haifeng’s thoughts, or he would surely beat him up. When had he admitted Yan Aohan was his son-in-law? He didn’t even know Yan Aohan’s intentions.

However, at this moment, because of this ‘small’ misunderstanding, everyone was unaware, so they got along very happily.

The first day of the New Year passed in warmth and joy. Since they had stayed up late on New Year’s Eve, they went to bed early on the first day. After dinner, it was only past eight o’clock, and everyone returned to their rooms. Those who didn’t want to sleep went to their rooms to watch TV.

After washing up and changing clothes, Zhu Yanyi came out and saw Yan Aohan sitting in her bed. She smiled helplessly. Yan Aohan looked accustomed to this. “Come here, time to sleep. The weather is cold, and it’s a special day for you. Don’t catch a cold.” He patted the empty space inside the quilt.

Zhu Yanyi went over reluctantly and crawled into the empty spot. As soon as she lay down, Yan Aohan turned off the main light, leaving only a desk lamp on, and hugged Zhu Yanyi tightly. “It feels so good. A wife should be hugged like this while sleeping.”

“You are getting bolder,” Zhu Yanyi said, hitting Yan Aohan lightly. Yan Aohan said calmly, “To chase a wife, one must be bold and thick-skinned. This is our Yan family’s ancestral secret recipe. Besides, my future father-in-law taught me this in the capital last time too.”

“You are just talking nonsense,” Zhu Yanyi laughed softly. Perhaps because they had cuddled like this the previous night, Zhu Yanyi did not feel strange this time. She just adjusted her position. “You are leaving early tomorrow. Go to sleep quickly.”
