Chapter 27: Little Thoughts
Hearing this voice, Yin Lingyan’s nervousness indeed lessened considerably.
The two walked in intimately, attracting the attention of most of the media, and Mother Han naturally noticed their figures.
“Excuse me, is this Miss Yin Chuchu? She looks like a celestial being.” A reporter from the media seized this opportunity and rushed in front of them, disregarding the bodyguards’ obstruction.
“Is this necklace your token of love?” One reporter, with very sharp eyes, spotted a beautiful necklace on Yin Lingyan’s neck.
“How long have you been dating?”
Microphones and camera flashes flickered in front of Yin Lingyan. Han Wuyu’s face was cold. The bodyguards beside him, seeing his displeased expression, stepped in to drive away the reporters, saying, “Excuse me, please make way.”
Han Wuyu led Yin Lingyan to Mother Han. Mother Han was first stunned upon seeing Yin Lingyan, then her expression turned to doubt, asking, “This is?…” What did she mean?
“My girlfriend.” Han Wuyu glanced at the necklace on Yin Lingyan’s neck. Mother Han also noticed the necklace then, and stumbled, almost falling. Fortunately, people around quickly helped her.
Han Wuyu glanced at the hand he had just extended, then silently withdrew it.
She had expected Mother Han to say something rejecting, but… Mother Han’s actions were surprisingly unexpected.
“Yu Baobei, if you have a girlfriend, you should have told your mother earlier. I wouldn’t have stopped you,” Mother Han paused, then looked at Yin Lingyan and said, “Look at what a lovely girl she is. She’s the best candidate for daughter-in-law.”
Mother Han’s expression was sincere and gentle, which made Yin Lingyan feel a pang of sadness.
Han Wuyu was also stunned. He looked at the affection in Mother Han’s eyes and finally understood that she genuinely liked Yin Lingyan. He secretly glanced at Yin Lingyan and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Dressed in her finest, Yin Chuchu saw Yin Lingyan standing obediently in front of Mother Han, answering her questions sentence by sentence.
“Aunt Han…” Yin Chuchu walked over, glared fiercely at Yin Lingyan, and then immediately changed her expression, smiling at Mother Han.
Mother Han smiled at Yin Chuchu, but the affection in her eyes seemed to have lessened. “Chuchu, this engagement was my own decision…”
Yin Chuchu was taken aback, not understanding the implication of her words. “What… what does that mean?”
At this moment, Yin Chuchu’s parents came to see what was happening. Father Yin immediately spotted the radiant Yin Lingyan and felt a sense of doubt.
Seeing the two approach, Mother Han calmly and gracefully said, “I was too hasty this time. I didn’t know my son already had a girlfriend. My apologies.”
Although Mother Han’s words didn’t explicitly state it, the clear implication was that… the heroine of this engagement banquet might have to be someone else.
Only then did Yin Chuchu understand what she meant. Her face turned pale, her eyes widened in disbelief, and then, in a rush, she fainted.
Before fainting, Yin Chuchu looked at Han Wuyu’s indifferent expression, and a tear of sadness rolled down her cheek.
For Mother Han to want this engagement banquet to proceed flawlessly, she had to announce that the heroine of the engagement banquet was someone else, but she still needed to give the Yin family an explanation.
Yin Lingyan also saw her… father. She had been looking down since he appeared, lost in thought. Father Yin remained silent, leaving the matter of Yin Chuchu fainting to Mother Yin, and simply stared at Yin Lingyan.
Seeing the situation was not right, Mother Han stepped forward to explain, “This is my daughter-in-law…”
She emphasized the last three words so clearly that Father Yin was stunned and looked at her deeply.
