Chapter 405: The Daughter-In-Law Was Extremely Satisfactory

“Dad, Mom,” she addressed them on her own initiative, poised and natural, without any hesitation.

Even an ugly daughter-in-law would have to face her parents-in-law. Besides that, she was far from ugly. In fact, it was not like she was unfamiliar with Lu Yi’s parents. They were really nice people and would not dislike her.

“Good, good,” Ye Shuyun quickly responded. However, she felt that there was a bit of an awkward silence, hence she gave a hard pinch on Lu Jin’s waist, “Why don’t you say something?”

“What do I say?” Lu Jin turned and asked Ye Shuyun honestly.

Yan Huan blinked. For the first time, she realized that behind the scenes, General Lu was actually a henpecked husband.

“Dad, Mom, let’s eat first,” Lu Yi held Yan Huan’s hand as he led his parents to their seats, “These were all cooked by Huanhuan, try it.”

“Good, good,” Ye Shuyun only knew to say the word ‘good.’ Apart from good, good, she really did not know what else to say.

She and Lu Jin sat down and were greatly surprised upon seeing the dishes on the table. There was everything that they could imagine, and although there were pictures of Yan Huan’s cooking on her Weibo, most people found it difficult to believe that Yan Huan’s cooking would be delicious. Maybe the dishes just look appealing, but the food could be tasteless. However, after witnessing it today, they discovered that her cooking was impressive in every aspect, from the colors, to the smell and finally the taste.

“Dad, Mom, let’s eat.” Lu Yi used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for Yan Huan.

“Eat,” he muttered, seeing that Yan Huan’s eyes were only fixed on the plate of tofu, never once on the other meat dishes.

Yan Huan glanced from Lu Yi to his parents, who were busy eating, pretending that they did not see their exchange. She had no choice but to pick up the meat with her chopsticks, although it seemed as if she was swallowing bitter pills.

She had a pained look on her face.

After much difficulty, she finished a piece of meat. At last, she can have her tofu.

“Dad, Mom, help yourself.” Once again, Lu Yi placed more meat into Yan Huan’s bowl. Normally, Yan Huan would be reluctant to eat any meat, eating only the ones which he forced into her bowl. Just like that, she kept trying to bargain her way out, never eating proper meals. How would her body heal?

On the other hand, it was the first time that Lu Jin and his wife were able to see a different side to their son, through this natural intimacy between their son and his wife. They had always thought that their son’s personality was as stiff as a rock, that he could never be romantic nor gentlemanly. They had also seen how their son interacted with other women, where each just did their own things.

Seems like it was not because he wasn’t romantic, rather he just had not met the right person.

Without taking Yan Huan into account, they were already very satisfied that their son could treat a woman so nicely.

Ye Shuyun even brought a gift for Yan Huan, it was an heirloom jade bangle. She really loved her daughter-in-law but did not know what to get her, so she took out the jade bangle that Grandpa Ye had given her when she married into the Lu family. It was the heirloom of the Ye family and should only be passed to the daughters of the Lu family. Because Ye Rong was no longer around, or even Ye Shuyun, an adopted daughter, would never be gifted the family heirloom.

“Thank you, mother.” Yan Huan received it with both hands. She knew about its existence, it was extremely precious to Ye Shuyun. Even Fang Zhu who had really wanted it was denied by Ye Shuyun. But now, she was actually giving it to her generously, which came as a surprise for Yan Huan. Of course, she was also flattered.

Ye Shuyun was all over the moon when Yan Huan called her “mother”, although she was still a little nervous facing her idol.

“That...” She took out a notebook, “Could I have your autograph?”

All of a sudden, Yan Huan was appalled.

Lu Jin felt a little embarrassed, quickly tugging Ye Shuyun’s sleeve. “Nonsense, she is you daughter-in-law now, why do you want an autograph, you will be seeing her everyday.”

“Right, right.” Ye Shuyun stored away her notebook hastily, she did not want the autograph anymore. Lu Jin was right, she is her daughter-in-law now, why would she need an autograph, it is fine just like this.

As for Lu Jin’s gift, it was much more practical.

He gave her a red envelope, inside it there was a credit card with the password attached. This was his personality, instead of buying something, he would rather give cash for her to buy whatever she wanted. There was no need to be meagre towards them, anyway he was wealthy enough, his daughter-in-law will never go hungry.

Right now, it doesn’t matter what Old Master Lu thinks, Lu Jin and Ye Shuyun have acknowledged Yan Huan as their daughter-in-law, they were extremely pleased with her.

She was not only young, pretty and thoughtful, but also poised and generous, compared to Fang Zhu who was arrogant and Miao Xinyuan who was supercilious, Yan Huan had far exceeded their expectations of a daughter-in-law. Most importantly, she was really pretty, they could only imagine how adorable their future grandson would look, even better, a granddaughter.

Their heads were both in the clouds as they thought about soft and cuddly grandchildren.

Ye Shuyun was dragged away by Lu Jin. This was their son’s and his wife’s home, if they do not give them time to be alone together, how would they have any grandchildren. Besides, what was the point for an elder to stick around, to be a third wheel?

Nonetheless, she really did not want to leave. Why leave, she was her idol and she had a ton of things and questions she wanted to talk to Yan Huan about. Lu Jin had almost wanted to carry her away, it was embarrassing to the point of being shameful.

That’s why Lu Jin and Lu Yi were like father, like son. The way they do things were shockingly similar.

Overall, the two of them were extremely satisfied with Yan Huan, their daughter-in-law. Especially for Lu Jin, who was having a headache just thinking about his son’s personality. He was almost 30 years old but still did not have a girlfriend, other people’s grandchildren were already growing up and doing chores, yet he still didn’t know in whose tummy were his grandchildren hiding, yet to be born.

Now, finally, all is well, the biggest source of his stress was gone and his son had already married someone. Soon, he will have a grandson to cuddle. As for a granddaughter, he dared not dream about it, the Lu family had not had any daughters for over 150 years.

There was even a rumored curse, stating that people of the Lu family will never be fated to bear daughters, unless time reversed to start anew. And one day, if the Lu family were to have a daughter, she would bring immense glory and power. However, Lu Jin thought that if he had a granddaughter, he would pamper her and not use her to achieve glory. He would rather pass than let the men of the Lu family depend on a woman in order to achieve their dreams and glory.

“Say, when will we have grandchildren?” Ye Shuyun asked Lu Jin.

“Soon enough.” Lu Jin had no idea either.

“Do you think that they will wait for five or six years before we can have any grandchildren?” Seeing Lu Yi, it was obvious that he would always listen to his wife and be a henpecked husband.
