Yu Zi’s ears burned and went red. She quickly pushed him away, but Yan Huaian grabbed her by the hand and said, “Tell me, would you really not be distracted?”

He kissed her ear as he said it.

Yu Zi felt herself burning up. “I will, I will be distracted!”

Yan Huaian laughed as he set out to search for her lips.

“If there’s nothing else for you here, would the two of you please leave? We need to clear the place.” A man’s voice suddenly said out loud.

It made Yan Huaian stop whatever it was he planned to do. He could only leave as he watched the man from management start his routine check.

Yu Zi found it funny and embarrassing at the same time. She quickly pulled Yan Huaian away.

…

When Yu Zi got off from work, she followed Yan Huaian home.

When they got to her front door, Yan Huaian suddenly said, “Give me your keys and close your eyes.”

“What’s going on? Why are you being so mysterious?” Yu Zi asked suspiciously.

“It’s for celebrating your victory today,” Yan Huaian said. He took her key and got Yu Zi to face the door with her back.

He opened the door and put the key away. He covered Yu Zi’s eyes and helped her into the house.

He had gotten Liu Jiamu to specially prepare some things in her house for the celebration.

He had dropped by in the afternoon to decorate Yu Zi’s house in advance.

As he was about to lead her toward the dining room, they walked past the living room and he noticed there was a man sitting in the living room.

It was Yu Zi’s older brother, Yu Han.

Yu Han heard a sound at the door. He was smiling initially as he knew that Yu Zi had her first victory today. He was about to say something when Yan Huaian walked in unexpectedly with his hands over Yu Zi’s eyes.

Both of Yu Zi’s hands were holding on to Yan Huaian’s hands over her eyes. They were standing really close together. As Yan Huaian walked forward from behind her, his body would occasionally brush against her back.

Yu Zi was still smiling. It was obvious that she trusted Yan Huaian a lot. Their intimate actions were proof that she was very dependent on Yan Huaian.

No one would believe they were just friends from the way they acted with each other.

They were obviously a couple.

Yu Han was aware that his sister was quite an outstanding woman and there were lots of men interested in her.

He was also aware that she would start a new relationship sooner or later after her breakup with Yue Jingchen.

However, that did not mean that he could stand by and watch her be so close to another man.

Even his dad would not be able to take this!

His dad was overprotective over his daughter, and he was overprotective of his sister, even if it was a trait that only came later in his life.

When Yu Zi and Yue Jingchen were dating, she had been very careful about not crossing the line with him when she was with her family.

Yan Huaian was stunned when he saw Yu Han.

“Can I open my eyes now?” Yu Zi asked and pinched his hand when he stopped walking.

Her voice was soft and tender, with a tinge of coyness. While it was not obvious, this was already considered coquettish by Yu Zi’s standards.

What more was there for Yu Han to figure out? He stood up immediately. “Yu Zi.”

Yu Zi was shocked from suddenly hearing her brother’s voice at home. Yan Huaian removed his hands from her eyes as well.

When Yu Zi saw Yu Han, she called out guiltily, “Big bro, why… Why are you here?”

“I heard that you did a good job today at your first attempt as lead counsel, so I’m here to celebrate. Mum and dad are on the way too. We wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn’t expect that I would be the one receiving a surprise instead,” Yu Han replied politely.

He glanced at Yan Huaian. He felt robbed of something precious by Yan Huaian.

Right at that moment, there was a sound of the key turning at the door.

Yu Zi felt like she was about to face certain death. Who else would be arriving at this hour with a key to her house but her parents?

Yan Huaian raised an eyebrow, thinking, ‘Have you given a set of keys to every member of your family?’

Yu Zi gave Yu Han a look and explained in a low voice to Yan Huaian, “My parents and my brother are worried about me living alone, so they come by and visit sometimes. Besides, I’m worried that I might forget to take my key out with me one day, so I gave each of my family members a set of keys, just in case something like that happens. If I happen to be working overtime and am not at home when they visit, they can still come in to wait and not waste their trip down here.”

Lu Han did not meet his parents at the door and instead, chose to wait in the living room.

Yu Gesheng and Yuan Hejing walked in with big and small bags of presents in-hand intended for Yu Zi.

They were surprised when they got into the living room. They stared at Yu Zi and Yan Huaian.

Yan Huaian was the first to react to them and called out, “Uncle, Auntie.”

The way he called out to them was…

Yu Gesheng and Yuan Hejing looked at each other and immediately understood what was happening.

Yu Gesheng reacted in a neutral tone, “President Yan.”

Yan Huaian was not about to allow that, and he quickly smiled and said, “Please don’t be a stranger. Just call me Huaian.”

Yu Gesheng gave him a slightly uninterested look and asked Yu Han, “What’s going on here?”

Yu Zi quickly replied before Yu Han could say a word, “Mum, dad, I… We’re seeing each other. He wanted to celebrate with me today too.”

Yu Zi suddenly spotted the red wine and unlit candles spread out on the dining table through the living room, which was connected directly to the dining room.

There was an exquisitely wrapped box placed on the table. She wondered what was inside. It was obvious that this was her birthday present from Yan Huaian.

As Yu Zi spoke, she turned to look at Yan Huaian with a smile on her face.

Yan Huaian was a little disappointed as he had planned to have a celebratory dinner with just the two of them. He wanted to personally cook for Yu Zi and show off his culinary skills to her. He wanted her to know that it would be no problem for him to take care of household chores after they got married. Who knew Yu Zi’s family would show up and ruin his plans for the night?

Fine. They had just begun their relationship yesterday and he was meeting the parents tonight. Things probably could not move any faster than this.

Yu Gesheng and Yuan Hejing put their things down and decided to take a seat so they could have a proper conversation about this.

“You…” Yu Gesheng was about to say something.

Yan Huaian quickly took the lead. “Uncle, Auntie. I’ve liked Yu Zi for a long time. I’ve liked her since she was with Yue Jingchen. I waited a long time for the two of them to break up, which was why I immediately took the opportunity to court her.”

As men, Yu Gesheng and Yu Han were not too happy upon hearing those words from Yan Huaian.

As for Yuan Hejing, she was a woman who was sensitive when it came to matters of the heart. She asked with interest, “Is that so? How long have you liked our Fishie?”

“Ever since she came to Yan Hui for work along with Song Dashen. I have no idea when exactly I fell for her, but when I realized my feelings for her, it was six months later. By now, it would have been a year and a half,” Yan Huaian replied honestly.

This immediately softened Yuan Hejing’s heart for him.

This man, a man of his calibre, had secretly liked his daughter for so long. When her daughter was dating another man, he continued liking her. Fortunately, the heavens showed mercy. Her daughter finally broke up with Yue Jingchen and gave him a chance with her.

Yu Zi wanted to help Yan Huaian. “I never knew about this before. He… He did not want me to feel uneasy in case I found out. He was worried that I would start avoiding him and he would lose the chance to even see me. That was why he kept it a secret until I became single again. He also told me that he was willing to wait for me. Even if I had gotten married, he would have still waited for me.”

Yuan Hejing was stunned by this and was so touched by his intentions.

Yu Gesheng snorted coldly as he saw his wife beaten down with just a few words from this man. “Nothing but beautiful lies! Fishie, the only time you can believe the word of a man is when pigs fly!”

Yuan Hejing gave him a faint glance. “You did promise me last week that you would take me on a world-wide cruise after we retired. Were you lying to me too?”

Yu Gesheng immediately said, “Of course not! That’s not the same. I’ve never ever lied to you in all the years we’ve been together!”

Yu Hejing did not say another word. She stood up and walked toward the balcony.

Yu Zi and the others were curious about her reaction. They saw her look up into the sky for quite a while before walking back to say, “I just checked the sky. No pigs were flying up there.”

Yu Gesheng, “…”

Yan Huaian’s lips twitched. He had to hold back his laughter.

“I’m just reminding our daughter not to believe others so easily. It’s very easy to get cheated on this way,” Yu Gesheng said.

Yuan Hejing ignored him and asked Yan Huaian, “Does your family know about you and Yu Zi?”

Yuan Hejing was very satisfied with Yan Huaian.

Her family knew who the Yan family was. As lawyers, they were constantly in touch with people from different industries and were quite familiar with Yan Huaian’s background.

As for Yan Huaian’s character, Yuan Hejing was quite confident he was a good man. Even Yu Gesheng and Yu Han were not able to pick on him. They were just unhappy that Yu Zi would be taken away by another man.

They had the exact same reaction with Yue Jingchen before, but mostly, they were not very happy with Yue Jingchen as a whole because they felt he was not a good match for Yu Zi. It had nothing to do with Yue Jingchen’s family background or financial state. They were unhappy with his lack of responsibility and the way he had chosen to handle things.
