Chapter 2258
"I will have it investigated," Yan Aohan stated.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly and changed the subject. "But Dad, please don't give the things I make you to others. They are made just for you. Others might not benefit from them. More importantly, your health could be affected. You were too competitive when you were young, so your body is running on borrowed energy. The health pills I give you are to replenish that deficit. They are only suitable for you."
After speaking, Zhu Yanyi took a large bag from the gifts nearby and handed it to the old man. "There are three bottles here. Please take them first. Do not give them away again."
"Yanyi, rest assured. I am watching him. From now on, I will make sure he takes them every day. He is not allowed to take them out. If he tries, I will search his body," the old madam declared decisively.
Zhu Yanyi shrugged slightly, unsure of what to say. This was a playful dynamic between the old couple, and she decided not to interfere.
"By the way, Yanyi, now that you are back, you and Xiao Si should hold your wedding," the old madam said.
Zhu Yanyi nodded in agreement. "Yes, I was thinking the same. But I know Mom and you have already made preparations, so I just need to participate."
"We have been preparing for several years, so everything is ready," the old madam said with a smile.
Since Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan had successfully registered their marriage, they had been preparing for the wedding. Over the past few years, they had indeed prepared most of the necessary items.
"Then I will leave this matter to Mom," Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. Since things had reached this point, it was best to let her family arrange it.
The old madam liked Zhu Yanyi’s straightforwardness, so she said directly, "Good, it is settled."
Zhu Yanyi smiled and agreed readily.
They had lunch at the Yan family home. In the afternoon, Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi returned to the Zhu family home.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Little Northwest sitting on Zhu Shun Yao’s shoulders, clapping his hands happily, while Zhu Shun Yao ran back and forth in the yard.
"Dad," Zhu Yanyi said, feeling amused. She had to admit that Zhu Shun Yao really loved children, otherwise he would not act this way.
Zhu Shun Yao saw Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan arrive and smiled. "You are here." He then lifted Little Northwest into his arms and said, "Little Northwest, look who is here. Your mom and dad are here."
Zhu Yanyi said, "Dad, you really shouldn't let Little Northwest ride on you like that. Aren't you afraid she will pee on your back?"
"He has already done it," Zhu Shun Yao laughed loudly. "It was hot a few months ago, so your mom and I didn't put a diaper on Little Northwest. I carried him out for a walk like this, and that day, he actually peed all over my back."
"And you still carry him like that?" Zhu Yanyi asked, seeing that Zhu Shun Yao was not unhappy at all, but rather very happy.
"You know, children's urine wards off evil spirits. It is very good. When Little Northwest pees on me, I am not afraid of anyone plotting against me. It is true wealth," Zhu Shun Yao argued directly.
For an elder who doted on their grandchildren, it was absolutely forbidden to say anything bad about their own children.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head helplessly, but looking at Little Northwest, with her round face and chubby little hands, she was incredibly cute.
Zhu Yanyi reached out her hand. "Come, let Mommy hold you." In both her past and present lives, this child was truly hers.
Zhu Yanyi possessed the Wood ability, which gave her a strong affinity. Even if Little Northwest did not remember Zhu Yanyi, she still liked to be close to her. So as soon as Zhu Yanyi reached out, she rushed into her arms.
Zhu Yanyi held her and smiled. "Come, call Mommy."
"Mommy," Little Northwest said.
Hearing "Mommy," Zhu Yanyi’s heart warmed. In both her past and present lives, this was the first time she was a mother. In her past life, even though her nephew had seen her through to the end, she always felt something was missing. Now she understood. It was because no one had called her Mommy. That was a lifelong regret. Today, one call of "Mommy" fulfilled her dream and completed her Dao heart.
Zhu Yanyi hugged Little Northwest tightly. "Little Northwest is Mommy’s treasure and lucky star."
Yan Aohan saw Zhu Yanyi’s condition clearly. He raised an eyebrow slightly but said nothing. He had also noticed that Zhu Yanyi’s Dao heart had a flaw. If Little Northwest had not called her Mommy, she would not have discovered it. If Zhu Yanyi followed him to the Chaos Abyss in the future, she would definitely not pass the trial there. Fortunately, it was discovered now.
Zhu Yanyi said Little Northwest was her lucky star, and Yan Aohan naturally agreed. Carved and polished, it was indeed destined. If Zhu Yanyi had not agreed to take in Little Northwest, he would not have called her Mommy. If he had not called her Mommy, Zhu Yanyi’s Dao heart would not have been complete. It seemed heaven had destined that Zhu Yanyi would have such a son.
Yan Aohan reached out and took Little Northwest from Zhu Yanyi’s arms. "This is a child suitable for us, and destined to be ours."
Zhu Yanyi understood Yan Aohan’s words. Indeed, without this child, she would not have discovered that her Dao heart had a flaw. Now that her Dao heart was complete, it was all thanks to this child. So, as Yan Aohan said, this child was destined to be theirs.
Little Northwest looked at Yan Aohan, seemed to recognize him, and then said, "Dad."
Yan Aohan paused for a moment, then smiled. "Son, come, Dad will carry you inside."
"Dad, Mommy," Little Northwest could only say a few words now.
Walking into the house, Xie Xinlian was tidying up. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, she smiled. "A few days ago, Xiao Yan said she would bring you back. She said you were coming back. I didn't expect you to really return. When did you come back?"
"I came back yesterday," Zhu Yanyi said without hiding anything. "I arrived yesterday evening, so I didn't come over. This morning, I went to the Yan family to visit Mom and Dad. After lunch, I came here."
"That is the right way to do it," Xie Xinlian said. She naturally knew that being someone’s daughter-in-law was not easy. Not everyone was like Zhu Yanli, who had no parents-in-law above her.
Zhu Yanyi had encountered the best possible parents-in-law. Because they were open-minded, the younger generation naturally needed to be filial and respectful. Therefore, visiting the parents-in-law first was something Xie Xinlian could absolutely understand.
"Mom, when will Little Northwest start speaking?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.
"Little Northwest is almost two years old. He will naturally start speaking," Xie Xinlian said with a helpless smile.
"Grandma~" Little Northwest recognized Xie Xinlian and wanted her to hold her.
"Okay, Grandma will hold you," Xie Xinlian said, coming over to take Little Northwest. Then she asked, "Are you going to take Little Northwest back to raise her?"
