Chapter 439: Chapter 438 Not in a hurry

Luo Xinyan mentioned to Lin Xia about Yu Hongli’s previous visit to her house, and Lin Xia finally learned the whole story.

Lin Xia kept her composure, but she thought to herself that her Brother Hongli was really something, having already taken the initiative to visit!

Observing that Luo Xinyan had a good impression of Yu Hongli, Lin Xia seized the moment to bring up the topic of matchmaking.

"Auntie, what do you think of my Brother Hongli for your daughter?"

Instead of answering her question, Luo Xinyan inquired about Yu Hongli’s age, "How old is he?"

"Twenty-six!"

"That’s a bit young... After all, my Yueyue is already over thirty!" Although Luo Xinyan thought Yu Hongli was not bad, when she learned his exact age, she felt it might not be suitable due to his being too young.

Moreover, his family might not necessarily agree!

"Age isn’t a problem; it depends on whether they have that intention..." Lin Xia encouraged her, "Auntie, why don’t you go home and ask your daughter what she thinks? Some things really do depend on what the people involved feel..."

While Lin Xia said this, she was simultaneously pondering over the issue from her aunt’s side.

If Yu Hongli truly wanted to be with Luo Yue, then her aunt and the rest of the family would have to let him resolve it himself.

After Luo Xinyan returned home, she gave it much thought and decided to ask her daughter for her opinion.

If it had been someone she hadn’t met, she would have disregarded the age difference without even asking, but she had met him, and her daughter seemed to get along with the young man...

Which mother doesn’t wish for her children’s happiness? Luo Xinyan hoped for it more than anyone.

Her daughter had been hurt when she was younger and had since been indifferent to romance.

By the time she was ready to seek a partner, her options were limited to divorced men with children. Luo Xinyan couldn’t bear the thought of her daughter becoming a stepmother, and nor did her daughter wish for that.

Luo Yue was initially stunned after hearing what her mother said, then a complexity arose in her heart. She knew that Yu Hongli had a fondness for her, but she didn’t expect Lin Xia to move so quickly to arrange an introduction.

The relationship between her and Lin Xia was very delicate.

If they were to become involved in a relationship in the future, what matters should she disclose or keep to herself?

But because Yu Hongli helped her with that incident, she found herself unable to outright refuse; she knew she felt differently about him.

In the end, Luo Yue said, "Mom, let me think it over properly!"

"Sure! No rush!" Luo Xinyan didn’t pressure her daughter, seeing that she didn’t outright refuse, it was clear to her that her daughter wasn’t devoid of affection for the young man, certainly tangled up in these complicated relationships!

But while they weren’t in a hurry, someone else was—when Yu Hongli received Lin Xia’s call, he was truly anxious.

On one hand, he was worried that Luo Yue would not agree to meet, and on the other, he was thinking about how to communicate this matter with his family, given that Luo Yue was several years his senior.

But no matter who opposed, it would be useless; he had made up his mind that he had to be with Luo Yue.

Because from the very first moment he saw her, he fell for her! And after several encounters, his fondness for her grew even more!

A few days later, Luo Xinyan and her daughter moved houses.

Lin Xia had helped them find movers and a truck.

The mother and daughter didn’t have many belongings, and they discarded a lot of unnecessary items, so everything was packed up and moved to the new house in one trip.

After the movers and the truck had left, Luo Xinyan and Luo Yue thanked Lin Xia, who told them not to be so formal.

Taking advantage of Luo Yue being busy in the yard organizing things, Luo Xinyan and Lin Xia had a conversation inside the house.

"Lin Xia, my Yueyue has agreed to meet!"

Lin Xia’s eyes lit up, "Ah! Really! Then..."

Yu Hongli had called her every day for the past few days to ask how things were going.

If he knew she had agreed to meet, he would definitely be over the moon!

Luo Xinyan waved her hand and said, "Lin Xia! Listen to me till the end! But you also know our situation, Yueyue hasn’t recognized him, so to the outside world we should just say her father passed away young, alright?"

She didn’t want to move and still be subjected to those rumors and gossips.

Lin Xia chuckled awkwardly, "Uh... okay!"

She could understand why Luo Xinyan would do such a thing; in this era, an unwed pregnancy and being a single mother would inevitably lead to people gossiping behind her back.

If her aunt’s family knew, they probably would have a lot of opinions, too.

Whether the two of them could actually end up together was one thing, but that feeling of being looked down upon might come to the surface even from the start.

She suddenly thought of Lu Pengcheng and wondered what his expression would be like when he heard that he was said to have died young.

"As for that young man, we should be honest with him and see if he can accept this... If he doesn’t, then it’s better not to meet at all..."

Luo Xinyan thought that Yu Hongli seemed like a decent person who wouldn’t spread rumors.

If they were to truly end up together and live together, it was better to clarify things rather than keep secrets.

It would hurt even more if they grew emotionally invested only to sorrowfully break up over this in the end.

Lin Xia thought their apprehensions were normal, "Okay! I’ll ask him to come, and then we can talk to him about this in person!"

She didn’t know if Yu Hongli could accept all this, as everyone is an individual and she couldn’t make decisions for them.

After receiving a call from Lin Xia, Yu Hongli rushed to the city that same afternoon.

Lin Xia didn’t know what to say about his enthusiasm; once upon a time, her Brother Hongli was always a slowpoke in her memory, but it seemed that the power of love was indeed strong!

Lin Xia first asked Yu Hongli to promise to keep the matter confidential after learning about it.

Only then did she simply explain to Yu Hongli that Luo Yue’s biological father was Luo Yue’s birth father.

Yu Hongli was dumbfounded for quite some time, as this information was indeed overwhelming.

He was first shocked but then felt sympathy for Luo Yue, "Then she and her mother must have had a hard life all these years!"

"For sure! It’s not easy for a woman to raise a child all by herself," Lin Xia paused and then said, "Brother Hongli, actually, Lin Dong and Lin Qiu don’t know about this.

The reason I told you is because it’s what Luo Yue and her family wanted. If you can accept it, then we proceed with the meeting; if not, it saves wasting each other’s time and feelings.

But if you don’t accept it, you must keep this to yourself and not talk about it with others..."

Yu Hongli felt a lump in his throat, "Lin Xia! I don’t care about these things! As long as she takes a liking to me too, I will definitely treat her well for a lifetime, respectfully taking care of her mother with her.

Actually, you know what kind of person I am. I don’t have great ambitions; I just want a good life with someone..."

Faced with Yu Hongli, who seemed to have opened up like a floodgate, Lin Xia felt a bit overwhelmed and quickly asked, "Brother Hongli, have you talked to my aunt about this?"

"I figured we hadn’t gotten a definite response from this side yet, so I haven’t mentioned it to her! But don’t worry, it won’t be a problem with my mom and the others; I will definitely make them all agree..."
