Chapter 1699: Cloud Boss and Little Cousin Extra (12)_3
On New Year’s Eve, Fan Zhengyu was thinking that Yun Hezhi was alone in Beijing, as his girlfriend, she should send some care. Unexpectedly, he received an invitation from the Jing Family in Chuanbei to spend New Year there.
As the new year began, with the first drum of spring, Yun Hezhi became busy. Fan Zhengyu took the opportunity to visit the Jiang Family to wish his aunt and uncle a Happy New Year and along the way, accompanied the elderly lady to the Peach Garden to watch a show.
"This Boss Yun’s performance is really excellent." The old lady from the Jiang Family particularly liked it and praised him endlessly, "Look at his posture and singing style; in his generation, he’s truly unique. His voice is outstanding."
"Before the New Year, he even came to the house to give gifts. You said he was just one of Wanwan’s clients, but after returning to Pingjiang, he remembered her and brought her some local specialties. He really has a heart; he’s a child who values relationships and loyalty."
"He’s really good."
...
Listening to her praising her boyfriend, Fan Zhengyu felt delighted.
She had been interested in some traditional instruments and after being with Yun Hezhi, her interest grew stronger; she even started learning the erhu at home.
Fan Mingjue seemed a bit confused; he wanted her to be the principal in a music group, but she refused. Is practicing erhu at home not okay?
It’s not that she wasn’t allowed to learn the erhu; it’s just that her current involvement in music left him bewildered.
Mr. Fan Jiawei liked listening to her and supported her warmly, so whenever Fan Mingjue criticized her, the old gentleman would argue with him, making him briefly believe that his father’s dementia was cured.
"Just keep protecting her." At school, Fan Mingjue was the feared Dean, but at home, he was maddened by his father and daughter.
Fan Zhengyu had her grandfather’s protection and showed no fear.
"I won’t oppose whatever you want to learn; I’m sure you have your own plans. Now, are there any developments in your personal affairs?"
Fan Zhengyu was taken aback, "Dad, why are you suddenly asking this?"
She didn’t intentionally avoid talking to her family about her romantic relationships, mainly because she had been under Fan Mingjue’s "intimidation" since childhood. With a father like that around, even during school, let alone an early romance, there were hardly any male classmates daring to talk to her, leaving her unsure of how to speak up.
"You’re at this age, isn’t it normal for me to ask you? Don’t worry; I’m not narrow-minded. You’re grown, can I still stop you from dating?" Fan Mingjue couldn’t help but laugh seeing her tense face.
"I certainly hope you can find someone who loves and cherishes you. If you have any situation, bring them home early so I can meet them."
"I’ll help you assess them."
...
Fan Zhengyu merely laughed sheepishly. In the evening, when she went out for a walk, she ran straight to Yun Hezhi to discuss it with him.
"When do you think we can go home together? I’m ready whenever you are." Yun Hezhi was calm, considering that their serious relationship and meeting the parents were natural steps.
"Then let me think about it and find a suitable opportunity."
Fan Zhengyu always wanted to find the right time to introduce Yun Hezhi to her family, and as time passed, their relationship steadily grew, balancing romance and work seamlessly.
Being close meant that no matter how busy they were, as long as they were both in Beijing, they could always find chances to meet.
In time, Yun Hezhi’s place became their rendezvous spot.
Meanwhile, Fan Mingjue and his wife, apart from caring for the father with Alzheimer’s, had to attend to school students, teaching duties, and various activities, so they were quite busy, unaware of their daughter’s ability to date right under their noses.
About a year into her relationship with Yun Hezhi, with their feelings stable, Fan Zhengyu thought she could introduce Yun Hezhi to her parents.
However, plans can never keep up with changes...
Mr. Fan Jiawei suddenly had a stroke and was hospitalized.
This led to the scene depicted in the opening of the story.
Fan Zhengyu felt that last autumn was warm due to meeting Yun Hezhi, while this autumn seemed to arrive particularly early, with the weather cooling down too quickly...
