Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Qiao Yujuan opened the door and saw the person standing outside, she was taken aback.

“Mom…” Xiao Yichen called out.

Qiao Yujuan snapped out of her daze and gazed at her son-in-law, responding, “Yichen, you’re here.”

“Yes, is Wan’er at home?” Xiao Yichen asked his mother-in-law.

Qiao Yujuan hadn’t intended to turn her son-in-law away and replied, “She’s at home. Come in.”

Xiao Yichen nodded politely and entered with his mother-in-law.

While carrying the dishes and cutlery she had finished using, Lin Wan was on her way to the kitchen when she heard someone enter. She paused, turned to look at the door, and saw Xiao Yichen.

Instantly, Lin Wan stopped in her tracks. After looking at Xiao Yichen for a moment, she averted her gaze.

Qiao Yujuan noticed the tension between her daughter and son-in-law and understood their thoughts. However, regardless of the circumstances, her son-in-law was still a guest in her home.

“Yichen, have you had dinner?” Qiao Yujuan inquired of her son-in-law.

“Not yet,” Xiao Yichen replied truthfully, his gaze fixed on Lin Wan.

“In that case, have a seat for a while. There’s still some food in the kitchen. I’ll prepare a simple meal for you,” Qiao Yujuan warmly offered.

“Yes, thank you, Mom,” Xiao Yichen expressed his gratitude for his mother-in-law’s kindness.

Qiao Yujuan went over to take the bowl and chopsticks from her daughter’s hands and instructed, “Take a seat in the dining room and keep Yichen company. Leave the kitchen to me. I’ll prepare dinner for Yichen first.”

With that, Qiao Yujuan didn’t wait for her daughter’s response and quickly went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for her son-in-law.

Xiao Yichen had overheard everything his mother-in-law had said just now. He walked over to the living room and stood before Lin Wan.

The two faced each other, and Lin Wan kept her gaze averted, refusing to meet Xiao Yichen’s eyes.

“Wan’er,” Xiao Yichen called out affectionately. His eyes had been fixed on her since he arrived and saw her.

“Take a seat first. I’ll go check on the kitchen,” Lin Wan said indifferently and began to move toward the kitchen to help her mother.

But as she took a step away, Xiao Yichen grabbed Lin Wan’s arm.

Lin Wan anticipated that Xiao Yichen was about to speak. Before he could, she said, “My mother is busy in the kitchen alone. I’ll check on it.”

With that, Lin Wan shook off Xiao Yichen’s grasp and headed to the kitchen.

Xiao Yichen didn’t insist any further. Upon seeing Lin Wan walk into the kitchen, he could only sit and wait.

Dinner was quick and not overly simple. Xiao Yichen finished his meal while Lin Wan and her mother cleaned up in the kitchen.

After they had tidied up the kitchen, Lin Wan said to her mother, “Mom, go and rest. He’ll leave after eating. I’ll take care of the dishes.”

Qiao Yujuan pondered it and didn’t object to her daughter’s offer. She nodded and advised, “Yes, Wanwan. Yichen might have something to discuss with you today. The two of you can have a good conversation. Stay calm, and don’t act hastily.”

Qiao Yujuan reminded her daughter that if her son-in-law had come to their place today, he must have something to discuss. Regardless of the outcome, she only wished for her daughter to lead a peaceful and happy life. The unavoidable troubles could also be minimized through calm and constructive discussions.

Lin Wan nodded without saying a word.

After Qiao Yujuan retired to her room, Lin Wan sat in the living room, watching television, while Xiao Yichen remained in the dining room, finishing his meal.

After satisfying his hunger, Xiao Yichen got up and moved to sit beside Lin Wan. Just as he was about to reach out and embrace Lin Wan beside him, he noticed her suddenly standing up.

“Wan’er.” Xiao Yichen reacted swiftly. When he called out softly, he grabbed Lin

Wan’s arm..
