Chapter 840 - 286: "The Model Child"—Li Yuan

Watching his beloved daughter pack up and leave with Li Yuan, both wearing smiles, it seemed as if Bai Tianqi had no sense of nostalgia or reluctance.

Bai Tianqi spoke with a complex feeling:

"Jinyu, are you really letting Li Yuan take Bai away?"

Yang Jinyu glanced at Bai Tianqi’s complex expression, understanding his thoughts, she couldn’t help but curl her lips and tease:

"What’s wrong?"

"Can’t let go?"

"Jealous?"

"Feel like your precious has been taken away?"

Bai Tianqi was choked, and let out a dissatisfied hum:

"I just feel that their relationship is progressing a bit too fast!"

Yang Jinyu snorted coldly: "If it doesn’t happen quickly, your beloved daughter’s place might be taken away by someone else."

"Is it more important to spend the New Year with you, or is your beloved daughter’s lifelong happiness more important?"

"Besides, it’s just a New Year’s meal. Bai has been eating with us for 18 years, and for just today, not eating with us doesn’t mean missing anything."

Listening to his wife’s teasing, Bai Tianqi frowned, remaining silent, feeling deeply helpless inside.

If his beloved daughter had even a shred of hesitation or considered leaving Li Yuan, he would support her without hesitation.

But,

his own silly daughter, who has been well-behaved and obedient, and excelled in both character and academics since childhood,

made a mess in this matter, stubbornly adhering to her decision.

As her old father, he could only respect his daughter’s opinion.

He didn’t want this issue to sever the father-daughter relationship.

After all, his own wife did just that. Except, he wasn’t as outstanding as Li Yuan, nor was he as unfaithful. He has always loved the wife who stuck by him through hardship...

"Old Bai, let it go, let’s go back home."

Yang Jinyu looked at Bai Tianqi’s conflicted expression, feeling quite speechless.

The daughter and Li Yuan are already at this stage in their relationship, and Li Yuan’s status is now extraordinary.

At this point, they should actively support their daughter to fight for a favorable position, rather than dragging her down...

She saw more clearly than anyone.

Li Yuan and the daughter are high school classmates with a deep emotional foundation, and the families are so close, this advantage is huge.

Didn’t they see, Li Yuan obviously had several girlfriends, but only brought one daughter back?

What does this signify?

This signifies that in Li Yuan’s heart, the daughter holds a higher position than other women.

At this time, as long as the daughter often appears in front of Li Yuan’s relatives and becomes familiar with his parents and family,

wouldn’t her future position gradually be established?

Now, on the last day of the year, letting the daughter go directly to Li Yuan’s home to celebrate is the most correct step to close the distance.

As for celebrating with themselves, she didn’t care that much.

They had celebrated together for 18 years, what does missing one year matter?

...

Li Yuan drove the BMW X6, carrying Bai Weixi, who was both excited and a little nervous.

Along the way, Bai Weixi kept chattering non-stop.

"Brother, will uncle and aunt be displeased if I celebrate New Year at your place today?"

"Of course not, they’ll definitely be happy."

"Should we celebrate with your other relatives too? You have such a big family, I’m a bit nervous."

"What’s there to be nervous about? I’m here, relax."

"Let’s go to the supermarket then, and buy more groceries, hehe, although I can’t cook, I can help wash vegetables, pick vegetables, assist aunt. Later, let aunt teach me cooking, and I’ll cook for you, okay?"

"Sure, enjoying cooking is great, you can cook noodles for me later!"

"Hehe, does Zhijin’s cooking taste good? I’ve tried it a few times. After the New Year, I’ll ask her to teach me. But Sichuan cuisine is a bit too spicy, I’m not used to it, and afraid of getting heaty..."

"It’s okay to have it occasionally."

...

While chatting, Li Yuan first called his parents ahead of time, informing them that Bai Weixi would be celebrating with him at home, and to prepare more dishes.

On the other end, Xia Qin was very surprised, jokingly said:

"Are you coming home for lunch today? I thought you were celebrating at Bai’s place."

Li Yuan awkwardly smiled: "I came yesterday, today Bai is coming with me, we’re heading to the supermarket."

Xia Qin nodded: "Going to the supermarket? Alright, buy a few more dishes from the county. Your dad said for all of us to celebrate together at our home this year, his brothers want to have a drink."

Li Yuan asked in surprise: "Everyone together for New Year?"

Xia Qin: "Yes, the house is big anyway, when your dad was renovating, he specifically bought an oversized table, one that can seat twenty or thirty people."

Li Yuan: "Oh, that’s good too, makes it lively. I haven’t gathered with Chao and the others for a long time."

Xia Qin: "We went to the market early to buy ingredients, there’s chili chicken, roast duck, black fish, goose, goya... just buy a bit more of whatever you see, and hurry back."

Li Yuan nodded: "Yes, got it, we’ll be back soon."

After hanging up the phone with his mother,

Bai Weixi, who was quietly listening, looked very nervous.

"Brother, is everyone in your family having lunch together?"

Li Yuan teased: "Yeah, what’s wrong? Scared?"

Bai Weixi nodded her head, timidly said: "A bit, so many people."

Li Yuan smiled warmly: "Usually it’s the ugly wife who’s scared to meet the in-laws, but you’re so pretty, what’s there to be scared of."

"Relax, I’m here for everything."

Bai Weixi smiled sweetly: "Okay, brother!"
