Chapter 1426: Chapter 1425: Engagement (Part 3)
Xia Siyuan: "What’s up?"
Lin Hanfeng, depressed: "No wonder my parents keep proposing, but your parents never agree. How could you not tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law about such an important matter? Aren’t you afraid they’ll worry about your health, unable to eat or sleep well?"
Xia Siyuan, speaking quietly: "I just don’t know how to say it. I’m scared they won’t believe it..."
"Just tell the truth. If you don’t know how to speak, I’ll talk to them."
"Huh?"
"What do you mean, huh? Look at my ear, twisted by your mother-in-law. She blames me for lacking charm. You stay here and sleep well, and I’ll go downstairs to sort out our wedding plans myself." Lin Hanfeng, looking extremely frustrated, stepped out.
Twenty minutes later, after Lin Hanfeng explained the whole situation, Xia’s father and mother stared at each other in disbelief, speechless for a long time, only looking at Lin Hanfeng blankly.
Lin Hanfeng wished he could swear to the heavens: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, what I’m saying is true. Although I, Lin Hanfeng, am young, I’m definitely not frivolous and wouldn’t joke about such things with you two. If you don’t believe me, you can go upstairs and ask Siyuan directly yourselves."
Given the importance of the matter, Xia’s father and mother naturally had to go upstairs to verify with their daughter.
Xia’s mother almost burst with joy and rushed upstairs to find Xia Siyuan at once.
"Siyuan, is what Lin Hanfeng said true? Is there hope for your condition?"
Xia Siyuan nodded: "Mom, it’s true. I’ve always struggled with how to tell you. It was my cousin... who reached out to help me during my hardest times, telling me how I could extend my life, allowing me this opportunity."
Xia’s mother, with tears streaming down her face: "Oh, that child. I thought the help she gave was just... I didn’t expect we owe her so much gratitude, more than we could ever imagine."
Xia’s mother sat at the bedside, tightly gripping her daughter’s hand: "Mom is so happy."
Xia’s father stood by the bed, a nearly fifty-year-old man with tearful eyes as well, as long as his daughter could extend her life, nothing else mattered to them. That wonderful niece, Ye Xingguang, truly was a wonderful niece.
Xia’s mother then said: "So... are you willing to marry Lin Hanfeng?"
Thinking of Lin Hanfeng warmed Xia Siyuan’s heart, yet she hesitated.
As long as her daughter wouldn’t pass away suddenly, Xia’s mother had no concerns. She said: "What are you hesitating about? You two already have a child. Do you want my precious little granddaughter to be illegitimate? Besides, Lin Hanfeng is a rare catch nationwide. It’s settled. You two are engaged."
"Mom, let me think about it."
"Think about what? Your father and I have just offended the in-laws. If this engagement isn’t decided today, your relationship will surely be doomed. Listen to mom, she’s right. I trust Lin Hanfeng. Honey, let’s go down and finalize the wedding with the in-laws."
Xia’s father had no objections. Both husband and wife felt relieved, their faces glowing.
...
Downstairs, Lin’s mother was overjoyed: "Really? Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you’ve agreed to the engagement?"
Xia’s mother held Lin’s mother’s hand: "Mother-in-law, it’s not that we didn’t want to agree earlier, but there were unspeakable concerns. Now they’re all resolved. We agree, we agree."
Lin’s mother laughed until her mouth couldn’t close: "That’s wonderful! What are we waiting for? Let’s sit down and discuss things properly."
