Lin Wan heard their conversation. She guessed that Tiantian was planning to come to Yun City and Yang Ruoxi wanted him to stay at some hotel.
âHe can stay here in Xuecheng,â said Lin Wan softly.
There were six rooms in the Lin familyâs old house. Lin Wan and Auntie Bao could clean up the other rooms. It was more comfortable than staying at a hotel.
âWhy donât you talk to your father and see how he reacts? Or are you going to sneak out of your house in the middle of the night every day while Iâm there?â said Tiantian. He had already shown her picture to his family, and they liked Yang Ruoxi very much.
Tiantianâs family wasnât very conservative. When he told his family about his last girlfriend, they were happy for him. After his breakup, his parents comforted him, but his grandparents hadnât talked to him for days.
Yang Ruoxi was his second girlfriend. After the breakup with his last girlfriend, he hadnât wanted to date, but he found Yang Ruoxi. He wanted to study abroad, so he thought it would be difficult to maintain a long-distance relationship. That was what he felt until he met Yang Ruoxi. She was studying at the same university as him, and both of them were from China.
âIf I find an opportunity to broach the subject, Iâll tell him. When are you coming to Yun City? I can pick you up.â The airport was far away from Yang Ruoxiâs place, but the airport bus could reach the village she was in. However, Yang Ruoxi wanted to go get him because she wanted to show her gratitude.
âJust send me a link to your location. Iâll go there by myself. I know you live nrettv far awav from the airnort-â
âLet me pick you up. I can drive,â said Yang Ruoxi.
âNo need. Just wait for me, alright?â
âHeâs coming here?â asked Lin Wan teasingly. âShould I tell Papa Yang about him?â
Yang Ruoxi pulled Lin Wan back. âYouâre not allowed to say anything. Iâll tell my dad when Tiantian arrives. I already sent him the location. Heâs going to stay at a hotel for now. If he stays in your old house, Auntie Bao will tell my dad about it.â
âWhy donât you tell him? I know Papa Yang wants you to get married. I donât think heâll be angry at you for having a boyfriend.â Lin Wan didnât know why Yang Ruoxi was so worried.
Yang Ruoxi was conflicted. Her grandmother always pestered her to get married, but Yang Ruoxi had always refused. She always told her grandmother and her father that she was too young for something like that.
Yang Ruoxi wondered whether her father and grandmother would feel like she had lied to them all this while. Yang Ruoxi didnât know how her family might react. She didnât want to tell them unless she knew for sure that her relationship would last longer this time. In her previous world, every relationship had ended in a breakup.
She didnât want to tell her family until she was absolutely sure that her boyfriend was the one for her. Her family was a little conservative. She didnât want them to think that she wasnât serious about it.
âI just⦠canât tell them. I donât want them to think badly of me just because I have had many relationships in my life.â
Li Wan had told Lin Wan about Yang Ruoxiâs relationships. She probably had four or five exes. For Li Yanchen, loving someone once was enough for a lifetime.
Li Yanchen gave them space. âYou two should figure out a way to tell Papa
Yang.â
âYeah,â said Lin Wan. âXixi, you should tell him later when he is in a good mood. Youâre serious about your relationship this time, right?â
Yang Ruoxi wasnât someone who stayed put in a relationship if she wasnât happy. She was always clear about what she wanted in a relationship, and if her boyfriends couldnât agree with it, she would just break up with them. However, she had mentioned Tiantian so many times today. Lin Wan felt that Yang Ruoxi was serious about him this time.
âShouldnât you be worried about me?â said Yang Ruoxi. âIâm supposed to be your friend.â
âAww⦠are you that hurt?â
âYou two can talk for a while. Iâll take a walk around the village to give you some space,â said Li Yanchen.
âXixi, youâre not a naive, young girl anymore. Donât be so frivolous. If you find someone you like, cherish them.â
âIâm very serious about my relationship this time,â said Yang Ruoxi.
Lin Wan sighed wearily. âThink of a way to tell Papa Yang.â
âOh, my dad will be fine with it. My dad and my grandmother always leave the decision of my life to me. I think theyâll understand.â
âThatâs good. You just tell them that you have a boyfriend and see how they react,â said Lin Wan. âItâs better to be honest about it.â
âJust tell them outright⦠Shouldnât I try to find out how they feel first?â
âYou just said that your father and your grandmother are okay with you making your own decisions. Give them a chance. I think they will love whoever you choose. Donât hide it. Just go and tell them.â
âIf Tiantian arrives tomorrow, do you want to meet him?â asked Yang Ruoxi.
âOf course. I have a live broadcast tomorrow afternoon, but if Tiantian is coming, I can postpone it,â said Lin Wan.
Li Yanchen walked alone around the village. It was getting colder. He decided to head back.
In the Lin familyâs living room, Auntie Bao washed and cut some fruits for
everyone. She also heated a pot of milk and waited for others.
It had been a long time since someone had taken care of Yang Yiren like this. He was moved.
Auntie Bao saw Yang Yiren looking at the apple in his hand. âIs it too sour? I can add some sugar for you..â
