Chapter 1042: Chapter 1039: Perfect Ending

Yan Bo’s so-called proposal, of course, wasn’t for actual marriage, but for engagement.

After all, Tong Xiaohua was only eighteen years old and hadn’t even reached the legal age for marriage.

Their engagement ceremony took place at Mingxuan Hotel, the largest hotel in L City, on Lantern Festival.

On that day, besides the members of the Yan Family, basically everyone who could be invited had arrived.

The engagement ceremony was quite sensational, and even though the couple had not officially registered their marriage, they were already viewed as a legitimate married couple in the eyes of others.

Two years later, right after Tong Xiaohua celebrated her twentieth birthday, Yan Bo proposed again.

This time, Tong Xiaohua swiftly accepted the ring, but she did not agree to marry.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to marry Yan Bo, but even though she and Yan Bo had been engaged for nearly two years, Yan Bo’s parents’ attitude hadn’t softened in the slightest—in fact, it seemed to have intensified.

"Yan Bo, I’m willing to spend a lifetime with you, no matter whether we register our marriage or not, whether we get married or not," she said.

Tong Xiaohua loved Yan Bo and didn’t want Yan Bo to officially break with his Parents over a marriage certificate. After all, all she wanted was to be with him; the formalities meant nothing to her.

Yan Bo had enough confidence in himself and also understood that a marriage certificate was not a guarantee that was essential for a couple’s relationship.

After countless efforts to persuade her failed, he only managed to seek the understanding and consent of Master Tong and Mrs. Tong. They then bought a villa in L City and moved in together officially under the name of an engaged couple.

Aside from lacking a marriage certificate and a grand wedding ceremony, Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo lived no differently from an ordinary married couple after they moved in together.

They always believed that Parents could not hold out against their children forever; no matter how stubborn Yan Bo’s Father and Mother were, there would come a time for compromise.

And they waited for his Parents’ compromise, a full fifteen years.

At the age of thirty-three for Tong Xiaohua and thirty-five for Yan Bo, Yan Zhong finally retired from the front-line position. By then, his younger son had been living with his lover in L City for thirteen years.

Perhaps, by this time, he no longer had any excuse to oppose them.

And perhaps, he finally realized that his opposition wouldn’t stop his younger son’s determination to be with Tong Xiaohua no matter what.

Thus, after knowing and loving each other for fifteen years, Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo, with the blessings of both sets of Parents, finally registered their marriage and entered the institution of marriage.

After the wedding, both sets of Parents started pressuring them, hoping that the couple would have children sooner rather than later.

Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo, having lived together for so many years, initially did not want children because they thought they couldn’t give the child a proper status and deliberately avoided it.

Latterly, they became accustomed to their world for two and were not at all concerned about having children.

Even after registering their marriage, the couple did not intentionally try to have a child and even felt that supporting each other for the rest of their lives would be quite good as it was!

Just when both Parents had to accept that Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo might become a childfree couple and live their two-person world for a lifetime, Tong Xiaohua became pregnant.

At that time, Tong Xiaohua was already thirty-nine years old, and her pregnancy reactions were very severe.

The first time she experienced morning sickness, it almost made her want to vomit out all her internal organs!

Yan Bo didn’t want her to suffer and told the Doctor they didn’t need the child.

But Tong Xiaohua, who had never been particularly keen on children, now, for some unknown reason, insisted on keeping it.

Tong Xiaohua endured the most painful and tormenting ten months in her memory, and at the age of forty, gave birth to a handsome, white and plump baby boy.

This handsome boy was Yan Han.

Yan Han, the troublemaker while in his mother’s womb, continued to be a headache after bouncing out into the world.

Naturally, being a late-in-life baby boy, he was certainly very much pampered.

Given the special backgrounds of the Tong Family and the Yan Family, and also because his grandparents felt enormous guilt toward his parents, they ended up spoiling him to the point where he was absolutely unruly.

He was only a few months old when the two old men of the Yan Family forcibly brought him back to the Capital City to care for him.

Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo, whose careers were also on the rise, had no choice but to fly to the Capital City every week.

Perhaps, children are always closer to the older generation.

Ever since Yan Han could walk and talk, he got up to no good, causing one mess after another.

He would use his grandfather Yan Zhong’s military medals as table shims and cut up his grandmother’s silk cheongsam to use for arts and crafts. Had anyone else done such things, they would have long since had their legs broken.

But Old Master Yan and Grandma Yan not only didn’t scold him, they would pinch and kiss his face, saying,

"Xiao Han loves to play, so just take them, Grandpa has a whole cabinet. Here, this is the key, take whichever one you like."

You should know, each one of those medals represented a great honor, hard-won through life and death struggles.

Yet, Old Ye now would hand them over to his grandson, without even blinking an eye, as if they were just an ordinary box of building block toys.

And of course, Grandma Yan’s reaction was much the same as Old Master Yan’s.

By the time Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo realized their son was being spoiled rotten by the two old men, looking down on everyone, Yan Han had already reached the age of nearly ten.

Fearing their son would be spoiled by the two old men, the couple decisively brought Yan Han back to L City.

Yan Han was not dissatisfied; after all, he was merely switching to another place to cause trouble.

Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohuai could in fact turn a blind eye to his mischief.

But one thing that worried them greatly was their son’s personality.

Though the boy was extremely bright, his character was extremely arrogant and willful, and he simply couldn’t mix with other children of the same age!

And this concern followed Yan Han like a shadow throughout his growth.

Yan Han was outstanding, whether in terms of academic performance or later, his work ability.

But he had many qualities common to successful people, he was very lonely.

"Old Yan, do you think with Xiao Han’s personality, he might end up lonely for life?"

Seeing their precious son entering the ranks of single men at the ripe age of twenty-eight, Tong Xiaohuai couldn’t help but voice the worry she had held in her heart for many years.

Yan Bo, although worried as a father, was after all much more open-minded in this regard.

"Fate arrives early for some and late for others, not everyone is as lucky as I am, to find you in a sea of people at the age of twenty!"

Tong Xiaohuai smiled bitterly, "He hasn’t found someone yet, that’s still good. What I’m afraid of is that with his extremely arrogant personality, he won’t be able to find someone who can put up with him!"

This mother’s worrying heart finally settled when she saw Zhu Qianying, the girl who had been carefully chosen for Yan Han.

At that moment, she finally believed.

Everyone, whether exceptional or ordinary, proud or down-to-earth, has another half that is just right for them, somewhere in the world.

All it takes is one turn around in the sea of people to discover that she’s right there, waiting where the lights are low!
