Chapter 232: Chapter 232: The Right Person, The Right Taste
Zhu Qianying was about to tell the little boy to go wash his hands, but Yan Han gestured towards the little boy, "Baby boy, let Daddy take you to wash your face."
In the past two days, Yan Han had discovered a pattern: in front of Zhu Qianying, the little boy would usually listen to him.
Sure enough, as he had expected, the little boy took a quick glance at Zhu Qianying, then obediently came over, reluctantly placed his small hand in Yan Han’s big hand, and led him off the terrace.
Zhu Qianying added some tea for the two old men, and then sat down next to lady Yan, because she could tell that the two elderly people seemed to have something to say to her.
"Ying’er, you have worked hard these years!"
As a grown man, Yan Bo couldn’t possibly hold his daughter-in-law tightly like a wife would, showering her with kisses and comfort. He could only express his gratitude and apology to her in the simplest of words.
"Uncle, let’s not talk about the past. The important thing is, we have come back now."
Indeed, as long as they have returned, everything can be managed.
Yan Bo and his wife express their genuine feelings, therefore even though they noticed that Zhu Qianying was indifferent to her son to the point of alienation, they did not plan to intervene too much.
Moreover, they also understood that their son was at fault. Therefore, whether to forgive or to accept him again, the choice was in Zhu Qianying’s hands.
Whether they could be together again depends on whether or not their son can give Zhu Qianying the confidence and the courage to start anew.
All they could do was be the most competent bystanders, quietly observing the changes and giving their son a hint at the right moment.
That was it!
"The environment here is pretty good, it’s close to your office as well as to our place, it’s indeed very convenient."
Yan Bo’s mentioned this quite bluntly, probably to test the waters or maybe he already knew what was happening.
Since he started the conversation, Zhu Qianying followed his lead.
"Uncle and Aunt, I have tidied up most of the place. In a few days, I plan to bring baby boy to live here. You can come to see him and accompany him whenever you want on weekends or even weekdays, or you can pick him up to live with you for a few days. What do you think?"
Yan Bo and his wife glanced at each other, the look in their eyes seemed to say, "Finally, it came!"
However, they could understand why Zhu Qianying was doing this.
"Ying’er, it’s understandable that you are doing this, and we can understand. However, as the one who is actually the parents of the child, you and Yan Han have the final say, we don’t have the right to interfere. In short, no matter what decision you make, we will respect it."
The position of Yan Bo and his wife was clear, they, stand on their daughter-in-law’s side.
As the son of the two elders, if Yan Han heard his parents saying this now, he would probably cry in the bathroom.
Zhu Qianying let out a long sigh of relief in her heart, "Thank you for your understanding, uncle, and aunt!"
Although she was still not sure about Yan Han’s attitude, having the support of the two elders increased her chances of winning.
Despite Yan Han’s usual fearless and carefree attitude towards everyone and everything, he extremely cherished his parents. The opinions of the two elders could influence Yan Han significantly.
Lady Yan glanced at the terrace to ensure that her son hadn’t come out before speaking to Zhu Qianying.
"Ying’er, we all know that it must have been tough for you to raise such a big boy all by yourself. So, the fact that you are willing to let us know about our grandson and are willing to let us see him, we are already very grateful. As for the rest, we’ll see if Yan Han has the luck and fate."
As a woman herself, how could Lady Yan not understand Zhu Qianying’s difficulties and pains?
Despite the urge to help her son bring his wife back home, all the unfair practices and means weren’t something that she and Yan Bo could execute towards Zhu Qianying.
"Thank you, aunt!"
Lady Yan’s words made Zhu Qianying realize that she had made the right bet!
"Mommy, smell Baby boy’s hand. Does it smell good?" Baby boy’s crisp voice came over.
Soon, the little boy scampered over from the terrace, presenting his small and delicate hands to Zhu Qianying with a face full of satisfaction and anticipation of praise.
Zhu Qianying buried her face in the boy’s small hands, rubbing them vigorously, "Hmm ... so good, even better-smelling than the buns steamed by grandma."
The little boy giggled, "Mommy, the buns steamed by Grandma don’t smell like this!"
Zhu Qianying took another sniff, then tilted her head in a contemplative manner.
"Hmm ... you’re right. Grandma’s buns have the aroma of meat, and your hands... also smell like meat!"
Zhu Qianying exclaimed this while grabbing the little boy’s tender hand into her mouth to lightly bite a few times, making the little boy giggle and tumble into her arms with laughter.
Yan Han, who had just returned from the terrace, gazed upon the sight of the mother and son playing and laughing together. His facial expressions softened significantly, almost unknowingly.
It’s strange, the same thing done by Zhu Qianying always seems to turn out just right.
For example, playing with the son, if done by others, the little boy might sneer with an expression of ’you’re so childish’, yet when Zhu Qianying does it, he finds it enjoyable and willingly participates in it, having the time of his life.
Similarly, he had tasted shrimp dumplings made by many master chefs, but only those made by Zhu Qianying gave him a unique taste.
He can’t describe these assorted flavors, it’s probably similar to connecting instantaneously with someone. In short, the taste of what she makes unknowingly appeals to his taste!
Yan Han stood in the center of the living room, looking at the mother and son playing and lauhging, unable to move his gaze for a long time.
Before, he found life rather boring, where apart from work there was only more work.
Then in these past few years, he would hear Qin Xiu occasionally bragging about his one son and one daughter’s daily lives which seemed intriguing to Qin Xiu. But Yan Han could not fathom what was so brag-worthy about those trivial matters of daily life.
But now, having witnessed everything himself, he realized that matters related to children and family were neither trivial nor mundane. On the contrary, they probably formed the foundational root of happiness and joy.
No wonder so many people liked to show off their gourmet food, love, happiness etc. on Weibo or WeChat, appearing desperate to let the world know how blissful and deeply in love they were.
At that time, he just thought that those people were pretentious.
But now, he started to understand their feelings. It turns out, when one feels happy and blissful, there is genuinely an intense impulse to show off.
For example, now he felt an urge to capture the happy scene of his wife and son playing together, and then post it to his company’s group chat, to let everyone feel the happiness and joy he, Yan Han, is feeling for having his wife and his son back in his life!
