Chapter 1127 - No Family Name (1/2)
With the Hua family asking questions and Hua Lin Yu happily recounting everything that happened in the past few years that his family hadn't been able to be part of, the day was soon over and the next morning arrived. With it, the Hua family once again welcomed Xin Lan.
Originally, he had been thinking about staying away for longer but then again, he also wanted to leave Hua Lin Yu and his family with a good impression so there wouldn't be too much backlash when he brought up the wedding.
As soon as the servant announced that he had arrived, Hua Lin Yu leaped from where he had been sitting next to his big brother and eating breakfast over to the door toward Xin Lan as if he didn't want to miss a single second with him.
Xin Lan couldn't help but smile. Even though this whole situation had come about because of that irresponsible fallen god, there was something about a beauty throwing himself into your arms that made the situation almost worth it.
He hugged him back and leaned down, kissing his cheek. ”Don't tell me you missed me this much?”
Hua Lin Yu looked up, his eyes curving into little crescents. ”I missed you a lot!”
Xin Lan chuckled and then led him back inside, greeting the members of the Hua family.
The expressions of Hua Ning Shun and Hua Ming Jun were quite subtle while Hua Lin Rong was looking at him aggrieved. Only the women showed a faint smile, obviously happy that their son — or grandson respectively — was happy no matter with whom it was.
Xin Lan pretended not to see any of that but he did take note of it inwardly, slowly formulating a plan. Looking at how things were, it would be easiest if he started with Hua Lin Yu's mother, maybe asking her for advice on how to go about this since he had noticed that his father and grandfather weren't quite on board with that. Then, the two women might team up to convince their husbands, making it easier for him when he actually started discussing his wedding to Hua Lin Yu with them.
As for his brother … Well, he wasn't quite sure if that person could be convinced but even if he couldn't, that didn't necessarily mean that the wedding wouldn't happen. No, it was better to focus on the others and just leave what might happen with Hua Lin Rong to fate.
Maybe they wouldn't be a problem at all and he would come around in the future after interacting a little more with him. Right now, that guy was probably just salty that his younger brother liked him more. Sooner or later, he was bound to get past this kind of childish notion, wasn't he?
