The silver fox seemed to ponder for a moment, then asked, "When will your wife go to the Reincarnation Pool?"
"Once the matters at the Linlang Training Ground are settled, I will take her there. It is indeed time for her to know some things," Yan Aohan replied without hiding anything.
Zhu Yanyi had grown up slowly, and that was enough. Since she had matured, there was no need to over-explain certain matters.
The silver fox nodded slightly. "In that case, I will not interfere in your affairs. I am leaving now."
Yan Aohan waved his hand, bidding farewell to the silver fox.
She knew the silver fox’s true purpose: to probe into Zhu Yanyi’s progress. Yan Aohan was quite satisfied with her current status, so she did not hide much from the silver fox, thereby stabilizing the fox’s current state.
Yan Aohan’s expression grew heavy. Although the silver fox appeared calm now, Yan Aohan knew the fox would eventually erupt. If things did not reach his most satisfactory state, the fox would explode. After all, the Heavenly Fox race was not one that existed merely for reason.
Thinking of this, Yan Aohan sighed. It was truly a time of many troubles, but fortunately, the situation remained within control.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Aohan stood up. It was time to visit his parents.
When the old man and old woman saw Yan Aohan return, surprise lit up their eyes. The old woman said, "You’re back. I heard you’ve been very busy lately."
"Yes, some issues had accumulated over time, so handling them was quite busy," Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "Mom, Dad, how have your health been these years?"
"We are fine. With Yanyi around, how could we not be well? It’s a pity she is now at the Sage Academy. I wonder when she will return." The old woman missed her young daughter-in-law dearly.
"We have decided to marry when she turns twenty-five. She is twenty-two now, so she should return within these three years. Moreover, once I am free, I will go visit her," Yan Aohan reassured them. "Mom, if you have time, we can start preparing for the wedding now. This will prevent us from being flustered later."
Hearing Yan Aohan’s words, the old woman’s eyes lit up. She had been bored at home for years. Her grandchildren had all grown up and were no longer playful. Now, she could only stare at her old man. But now, she had something to do—preparing for Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi’s wedding. Her days would no longer be dull.
For a family like theirs, wedding preparations were taken very seriously. The old woman smiled and asked, "Does your father-in-law’s family know about this?"
"Not yet. I thought we should start preparing on our side first. Tomorrow, I will visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law to tell them. That way, when Ani returns in three years, we can marry directly," Yan Aohan said seriously.
"Good, good. This plan is excellent. It is settled," the old woman decided immediately. "Rest assured, I will ensure the wedding preparations are handled perfectly." The old woman was in high spirits; having something to do had lifted her spirits.
Yan Aohan nodded. "However, Mom, preparing for the wedding is important, but please take care of your health. Do not tire yourself out. You still need to see Xidong and the others get married."
"Of course. Rest assured, my health is good. Besides, before Yanyi left, she checked my pulse and left a recipe for medicinal diet. She told your father and me to eat it regularly. Don’t worry. I will not close my eyes until I see you marry and have children," the old woman said earnestly.
Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow slightly. "You might wait long enough for the marriage, but to be honest, you probably won’t wait long enough for children. Look at my work, and look at Ani’s work. When would we have time to have children?"
"Let’s talk about children later. Let’s focus on the marriage first." The old woman was open-minded. Their generation valued duty heavily. Many of their peers had not had children due to work, so they were not surprised. Besides, there were other members of the Yan family, so they did not worry about lacking descendants.
Yan Aohan knew this well, which is why he spoke this way. As expected, his mother’s reaction matched his prediction.
"Since Yanyi is away, remember to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law often when you have free time," the old woman reminded Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan nodded and agreed. "Mom, rest assured. I will visit them tomorrow."
"After you visit them, I will contact them regarding the wedding arrangements." Well, this was actually the old woman’s true purpose: to urge Yan Aohan to inform the other side sooner.
Yan Aohan smiled. Was this not also what he hoped for?
The next day, Yan Aohan indeed visited Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian.
"Father, Mother," Yan Aohan took out a letter. "Ani asked me to bring this."
"You have seen Ani? Is she well? Has she lost weight? Is she used to the life there?" Xie Xinlian asked immediately upon hearing this.
Zhu Shun Yao took the letter, opened it, and read it. After reading, he handed it to Xie Xinlian. "The child is doing well there."
Yan Aohan added from the side, "Ani is doing well there. Her medical skills are high, and she is diligent. Her cultivation is also top-tier. When I visited, they were competing with other schools. She won the championship, and the Dean granted her unlimited access to the library. I think Ani might immerse herself in books in the future."
"That child studies as if her life depends on it," Xie Xinlian recalled Zhu Yanyi’s personality. Then she said to Yan Aohan, "Xiao Yan, next time you visit her, please remind her that studying is important, but health is also important. As parents, we do not expect anything else from her, just one thing: stay safe when traveling, and take care of your body."
Yan Aohan nodded and agreed. "Mother, rest assured. I will tell her this next time I visit." she paused, then said to Xie Xinlian, "Mother, Ani and I have discussed it. When she turns twenty-five in three years, she will return to marry me. I think we should start preparing now."
Xie Xinlian pondered for a moment, then nodded. "We must prepare. Marriage is a major event. When An’nan married, it was too rushed, and we did not do many things properly. Now, for Ani’s marriage, we must prepare in advance."
Zhu Shun Yao looked at Yan Aohan and asked, "Have you discussed this with your parents?"
