Chapter 2938
"Today is the first time our daughter-in-law visits. What comfort? Hurry up and change your clothes," Wang Suyan said, dragging Yan Tieniu away.
Watching her father being marched off by her mother to change, Yan Xiwan smiled. She then quickly checked the room to ensure everything was in order for the guests' arrival.
Yan Zhicheng went to pick up Tian Chunxiang. Tian Chunxiang looked at him with a hint of nervousness.
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhicheng asked, curious about her expression.
"Nothing, just a little nervous."
Tian Chunxiang was a transmigrator who had entered a book titled The Supporting Female Lead’s Counterattack. The story was about a supporting character named Qiu Ju who was reborn and used cheats to succeed. Tian Chunxiang knew Yan Zhicheng was a male supporting character, specifically a cannon fodder. In the original plot, he died because he didn’t like Qiu Ju and was framed by her.
When she had read the book, she wanted to scold the author. Yan Zhicheng hadn’t eaten or drunk anything from Qiu Ju. she had only helped the reborn female lead once. Because she wasn’t captivated by her charm, she was killed. It was a messy plot.
So, after realizing she had transmigrated into the book, she decided she would never let Yan Zhicheng get involved with Qiu Ju. That was why she had found an excuse to stop Yan Zhicheng from going to the street, which led to them meeting. Most importantly, she had started dating her.
Through their conversations, she learned that Yan Zhicheng’s hometown was Sibei City, a small city far away. her family didn’t live in the city center but in Yan Family Village in the suburbs.
His family included a great-grandmother, grandparents, and many uncles and cousins. His branch was the fifth branch of the family. There were four siblings in his immediate family: Yan Zhicheng was the eldest, followed by two younger brothers and one younger sister.
Before transmigrating, Tian Chunxiang was an only child. After transmigrating, she had only one younger brother, and her family was well-off, so her family structure was simple.
Knowing Yan Zhicheng had such a large family made her very nervous.
Seeing Tian Chunxiang’s nervousness, Yan Zhicheng found it amusing. "Why are you so nervous? Actually, if you are this nervous, my parents will be the ones who get nervous."
"Why would Uncle and Auntie be nervous?" Tian Chunxiang asked curiously.
"They are worried you won’t want me," Yan Zhicheng laughed. "Because of my work, I haven’t had a girlfriend. My mother was worried I would end up alone. Now that she knows I have a girlfriend, she can’t wait to send me away. If she sees you are this nervous, she might think you dislike me."
Hearing this, Tian Chunxiang laughed out loud. The laughter eased her tension.
Seeing her girlfriend regain her calm, Yan Zhicheng said, "Chunxiang, really, there is no need to be nervous. It is my blessing to date you. If I hadn’t met you, I might not have had a girlfriend. So, my parents should thank you for not letting their son remain a bachelor."
"You are talking nonsense. With your abilities, others would worry about not being good enough for you. Why would you worry?" Tian Chunxiang said directly.
Yan Zhicheng smiled slightly. "You shouldn’t think like that. Anyway, don’t worry."
Tian Chunxiang nodded. "Let’s go."
Seeing her expression, Yan Zhicheng was speechless. "Chunxiang, you don’t need to look like you are facing death. My family isn’t that scary."
"I’m not facing death," Tian Chunxiang answered stiffly.
Forget it. She would understand when she arrived at the Yan family. Yan Zhicheng decided not to point out her girlfriend’s current mood. she just held Tian Chunxiang’s hand and walked toward the Yan house.
Yan Xiwan heard the door open and came out. She saw Yan Zhicheng leading a young girl inside.
The girl had a round face and gave a gentle impression. Such people usually had strong affinity.
Yan Xiwan nodded slightly. Looking at Tian Chunxiang, she knew she had a good soul. She saw Tian Chunxiang’s soul was a very pure white, indicating she was a girl with a good heart and character.
"Big Brother, you are back," Yan Xiwan greeted.
"Yes, I am back," Yan Zhicheng replied with a smile. she then introduced Tian Chunxiang: "Chunxiang, this is my sister, Yan Xiwan. Her nickname is Guaiguai. You can call her Guaiguai."
"Big Brother, you don’t call each other by nicknames anymore. Why do you insist on calling me by my nickname? Be careful, or Sister-in-law will tease you," Yan Xiwan said.
"Sister-in-law won’t tease you," Yan Zhicheng laughed, looking around. "Where are Mom and Dad?"
"Mom changed into new clothes to make a good impression on Sister-in-law. Dad didn’t change, so Mom dragged her to change," Yan Xiwan answered. She then turned to Tian Chunxiang: "Sister-in-law, come, let’s sit. I prepared a lot of good food, including pastries, fruits, and frozen pears and persimmons."
Yan Xiwan warmly led Tian Chunxiang to sit aside and entertained her.
"Can I call you Guaiguai?" Tian Chunxiang asked.
Yan Xiwan sighed. "Fine. Since we are family, family members can call each other by nicknames."
"Guaiguai, you don’t need to be so polite," Tian Chunxiang said with a smile.
"It’s not politeness. I am worried you are nervous," Yan Xiwan said, looking around. "I am also worried my parents are nervous."
"(⊙o⊙)…" Tian Chunxiang paused. "Uncle and Auntie will also be nervous?"
"Of course. You don’t know, my parents are very worried about Big Brother’s marriage. They always say his standards are too high and he won’t find a wife," Yan Xiwan said, giving Yan Zhicheng a disdainful look.
Yan Zhicheng poured a glass of water for Tian Chunxiang and then said to Yan Xiwan, "Don’t worry. I have brought Sister-in-law back now. Go call Mom and Dad out."
"Okay." Yan Xiwan smiled. "Sister-in-law, eat some fruit. I will go call Mom and Dad." She then walked toward Yan Tieniu’s room.
Yan Xiwan entered Yan Tieniu’s room and saw Wang Suyan patting Yan Tieniu’s clothes with a look of disdain. "You have so many good clothes, yet you hide them. Do you plan to take them to your coffin?"
Yan Tieniu didn’t get angry. "Mainly because casual clothes are comfortable. With these new clothes, I don’t dare to go out. I am afraid of getting them dirty or torn."
"If you don’t wear clothes, do you keep them as rags?" Wang Suyan glared at Yan Tieniu.
"Okay, everything my wife says is right. From now on, I will wear whatever my wife gives me. I will definitely wear new clothes," Yan Tieniu hurriedly apologized to his wife.
Yan Xiwan knocked on the open door. "Dad, Mom, Big Brother has brought Sister-in-law."
"They are here? That’s great. Let’s go see our daughter-in-law," Wang Suyan said, her eyes full of joy.
Wang Suyan hurried out first. Yan Xiwan whispered to Yan Tieniu, "Dad, you let Mom bully you too much. You have no dignity as the head of the family."
"Daughter, you don’t need dignity in front of your own wife," Yan Tieniu said with a smile. "If Tianyun tries to assert authority over you in the future, just dump him and find another one."
Yan Xiwan nodded firmly. "I think Brother Tianyun should learn from you. He will definitely become a model husband in the future."
"That’s right," Yan Tieniu said proudly. "A man who is bad to his wife and irresponsible to his family is not a qualified husband. Such men must not be accepted."
"Mhm," Yan Xiwan nodded in agreement.
"What are you two whispering about? Come here quickly," Wang Suyan called from the living room. She saw Tian Chunxiang next to Yan Zhicheng and looked her up and down, her eyes full of satisfaction.
"Hello, Uncle and Auntie," Tian Chunxiang greeted. She then introduced herself: "I am Tian Chunxiang, Yan Zhicheng’s girlfriend."
"Good girl," Wang Suyan said, pulling Tian Chunxiang to sit down. "Can I call you Chunxiang?"
"Of course," Tian Chunxiang nodded seriously.
"Chunxiang, Auntie has been looking forward to your visit. I am so happy you are here. If Zhicheng bullies you in the future, tell me, and I will beat him up," Wang Suyan said directly.
Yan Zhicheng was peeling an apple for everyone. Hearing Wang Suyan’s words, he was speechless. "Mom, when have you ever seen me bully anyone? Am I that kind of person?"
Wang Suyan waved her hand. "We mothers are talking. Don’t eavesdrop."
"Mom, you are speaking so loudly. How am I eavesdropping?" Yan Zhicheng felt truly wronged.
Wang Suyan waved her hand again and laughed. "That old Confucius scholar you study with said, 'Do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper, do not speak what is improper.' No matter how loudly we speak, you should not eavesdrop. And even if you listen, you should not interrupt randomly. Look at your father; she does this better than you."
After speaking, Wang Suyan turned her attention back to Tian Chunxiang. "Chunxiang, let’s ignore her. We mothers will talk."
Yan Zhicheng listened to Wang Suyan’s twisted logic and took a moment to recover. she then looked at Yan Xiwan. "When did Mom become so eloquent? And she even knows Confucius’s words."
"Do you think Mom stayed in the capital for nothing these days? She met many people there," Yan Xiwan said, pointing at the apple in Yan Zhicheng’s hand. "When will you finish peeling it? I am waiting to eat."
"Wait a moment." Yan Zhicheng didn’t argue. He quickly finished peeling the apple. However, he gave the first one to Wang Suyan. "Mom, here is your apple."
Wang Suyan took it and put it in Tian Chunxiang’s hand. "You boyfriend are really unqualified. This apple should naturally go to Chunxiang first."
Then Wang Suyan ordered Yan Tieniu, who was sitting nearby: "Hurry up and teach your son. It was hard enough to send off this unsellable goods. Don’t be tactless and get returned."
