Chapter 225 - 225 Gift

225 Gift

“Yu Yan.”

A crisp male voice interrupted the family meeting.

When Yu Hai and Li Xin looked over, they saw a tall and handsome boy in neat clothes.

Yao Nian took a few steps forward and placed the matching yolk pastry and snowflake pastry on the stone table. Then, he smiled at Hai and Li Xin and said, “Hello, my name is Yao Nian. I’m from A City and I came to help build the countryside. This is the most popular dessert in our village, so I bought some for you guys to try.”

The couple looked at each other in confusion.

First, Yu Yan pretended to be sick today, then was punished. In the afternoon, she was afraid that her adoptive parents would immediately transfer her back to the city and only found out before dinner that she could stay, but all her subsidies were halved according to the previous amount.

She felt aggrieved, but in the end, she compromised in order to have more opportunities to return to her biological family.

After this series of events, how could Yu Yan still remember Yao Nian? Moreover, the two of them had not been together for long. She didn’t plan to tell her family about her relationship so soon.

Yu Yan walked to Yao Nian’s side quickly and whispered for him to go back first.

Yao Nian knew that his actions were a little rash. However, he had waited for the entire afternoon, but he didn’t see Yu Yan introduce him to her parents. Thinking of Yu Yan’s family background, he decided to seize the opportunity to impress Yu Yan’s parents first. If he could please his future in-laws, he would be able to return to the city sooner!

When Yu Hai and Li Xin saw this scene, they immediately understood their relationship.

After Li Xin touched her husband’s hand and glanced at the gift box on the table, Yu Hai immediately understood what Li Xin meant. He picked up the gift box and handed it back to Yao Nian. He didn’t allow Yao Nian to refuse. Then, he smiled and said, “Thank you for your kindness, but it’s not easy for you to save some money in the countryside. Take it back and eat it yourself.”

Regardless of how far Yu Yan and Yao Nian’s relationship had developed, without Yu Yan informing them in advance, Li Xin and Yu Hai definitely couldn’t accept this gift on such an informal occasion.

Accepting it would lower Yu Yan’s status and make it seem like their family had accepted this relationship just over a gift.

Yao Nian’s smile froze. He glanced at Yu Hai and then at Li Xin, who was sitting there silently with a smile. When he saw their calm appearance yet unyielding attitude, he knew that his efforts tonight had been in vain. He could only whisper to Yu Yan, “Then I’ll go back first.”

Yu Yan hurriedly nodded. Yao Nian said goodbye to the couple before turning around and entering the dormitory building.

Li Xin was about to flare up when Yu Hai hurriedly stopped her and asked Yu Yan gently, “When did you two get together?”

Yu Yan replied softly, “We’ve only been together for a little more than a week.”

Li Xin didn’t say anything. Yu Hai seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Did he say that he’s from A City? Do you know what his family does?”

Yu Yan suddenly remembered that her adoptive parents had gone to her biological parents’ home back then and knew which factory her biological parents worked at. They were colleagues and neighbors of Yao Nian’s parents. She couldn’t let her adoptive parents know Yao Nian’s identity. Otherwise, they would definitely guess that she already knew the truth about her background!
