"Take it," Huo Qingning smiled when he saw his parents treating his newlywed wife so nicely. He knew that no one could dislike that girl, "You've already called her mom. There is no need to be so restrained."
Liang Yan stuck out her tongue at Huo Qingning and smiled at Madam Huo. She took the red packet and said politely, "Thank you, Mom."
"Good girl," Madam Huo happily handed her more food and asked, "How did you two get to know each other?"
Liang Yan was stumped. After all, they had not come up with a story before coming. The thoughts of Huo Qingning's parents' disappointment after knowing the truth feared her. After thinking for a moment, she decided to push the question to Huo Qingning, "Hubby, why don't you tell mom about it?"
After saying that, Liang Yan lowered his head and ate to hide her nervousness.
Huo Qingning's mood brightened because the word "hubby" intrigued him. Liang Yan indeed knew how to please him. So, Huo Qingning made up a romantic story to make his parent happy. Liang Yan listened attentively and planned to memorize. She decided to tell the same thing Huo Qingning told his parents if others asked her about it the next time so that she wouldn't spill the beans.
When Huo Qingning mentioned the part where the two of them were deeply in love and committed to each other, Liang Yan almost choked on the food she ate. She quickly looked at her phone and noticed an unread message.
[Xiao Yan! The construction workers who came to demolish the welfare home have left today.]
[The kids want to invite you to their celebration party. They even bought the snacks you liked most.]
It was from the dean of the welfare home.
Liang Yan's mood lifted. She wanted to celebrate with the kids, but it was the first day of her marriage and the first meal with her husband's parents. It was inappropriate for her to leave so soon. Huo Qingning noticed her change in mood. He placed a piece of meat on her plate and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Liang Yan said nothing. She handed her phone to Huo Qingning and asked him to see the text message she received.
"Do you want to go?" Huo Qingning asked calmly. Liang Yan nodded and said awkwardly, "But, I don't think that's appropriate..."
Huo Qingning smiled. He never followed the rules, and he wouldn't want it to restrain his woman either. He put down his knife and fork. After putting on his coat, he said, "Mom, Dad, I have something to do at the company, so I'll leave with Liang Yan now."
"Okay. Come over for dinner when you have time," Madam Huo didn't even have the time to talk to Liang Yan, yet Huo Qingning had taken Liang Yan away. However, that was a common thing in their family. They were all workaholics, so none of them suspected. They only reluctantly said goodbye to Liang Yan and asked her to come often in the future. Liang Yan was confused the whole time. She followed Huo Qingning and sat in the passenger seat of the Ferrari. Then, she inadvertently looked at Huo Qingning driving the car and noticed his face was so handsome from every angle.
"Thank you for what you have done for the welfare home," Liang Yan said. Huo Qingning smiled, obviously pleased.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Blue Sky Welfare Home. As soon as it stopped, Liang Yan ran into the welfare home, "Mother! Kids! I missed you so much!"
Liang Yan hugged the dean. The children also rushed up and surrounded Liang Yan.
The children all knew that Liang Yan was why the workers stopped demolishing the welfare home, "Sister Xiao Yan, who is the handsome man behind you?"
The family reunion made Liang Yan so excited that she almost forgot about Huo Qingning behind her. She only remembered that he was with her when the children asked about him. So, she naturally hugged Huo Qingning's arm and said, "This guy is my husband. He helped me save the welfare home."
"Wow! Sister Xiao Yan's husband is so handsome! When are you guys going to have a baby?" The children surrounded her and jeered. The dean was pleased to hear the news.
After some small talk, Huo Qingning planned to leave Liang Yan there for a moment, "Alright, you stay here and play. I'll come back and pick you up later."
Huo Qingning patted Liang Yan's head and left after saying goodbye.
Liang Yan, who had broken free from her restrained self, played with the children. After dinner, the children played games in the yard happily. Meanwhile, Liang Yan leaned on the dean's shoulder.
"Xiao Yan, tell me the truth. Is that man nice to you?" The dean hugged Liang Yan with a doting look on her face.
The image of Huo Qingning's face emerged in Liang Yan's mind, and she smiled as her face flushed. She had only agreed to get married because she wanted to save the welfare home. But, Liang Yan knew that she was starting to like Huo Qingning. However, their statuses were different. She did not know how to face it in the future.
Suddenly, Liang Youli's mean voice came from the door, "Liang Yan, you are here like I expected."
