TWWMABMTBH Chapter 102

Chapter 102: What if your parents don’t like me?

Ji Shu clearly didn’t expect Rong Ziyan to say this to him, and he was stunned for a moment. It wasn’t until a good while later that he nodded, his ears turning red, “I will behave well.”

Rong Ziyan poured him a glass of hot water, watched Ji Shu drink it, and then took his hand, leading him to walk around the room to aid digestion.

When it was almost time, he pressed him onto the bed again, watching him closely so he would rest well.

Usually, as long as Rong Ziyan was on the bed, Ji Shu, as a qualified little wife, would definitely take the route of a bewitching concubine who ruins the country.

Not only did he not want to wake up early himself, but he also tried to tempt Rong Ziyan to be a king who doesn’t attend court early.

However, today was completely different. Ever since Rong Ziyan said yesterday that he was going to take Ji Shu to see his parents, Ji Shu had been incredibly nervous.

He had dawdled for a long time before finally going to sleep last night, and this morning he woke up early, rummaging through his suitcase to change clothes.

“Alright, you’re handsome enough!” Rong Ziyan watched him fuss over three outfits in a short time and still felt it wasn’t enough. He even wanted to call someone to send clothes over immediately, and hurriedly stopped him.

It would take four hours by car, and Rong Ziyan wanted Ji Shu to be comfortable, so he wouldn’t feel so restricted in the car. Besides, they would have to walk a bit uphill after they arrived!

Under Rong Ziyan’s insistence, Ji Shu ended up wearing the pink short-sleeved shirt with the fat panda on the chest that Rong Ziyan had said wasn’t too girly.

He put on a hooded cardigan on top, the macaron color scheme making Ji Shu look like he was only eighteen years old.

Those subordinates who followed Ji Shu were all terrified, but Rong Ziyan quite liked it, and even pinched the knot of the string hanging from Ji Shu’s hoodie.

“So, will uncle and aunt like me?” Ji Shu was extremely nervous the whole way.

Old Wu and the others were also seeing Ji Shu like this for the first time and didn’t say a word.

In the end, Rong Ziyan pulled him over and forcibly made him shut up.

“I’m nervous.” Ji Shu, relying on Rong Ziyan’s doting, began his little wife performance. His peach blossom eyes widened, and tears came as he wished.

However, Rong Ziyan was very blunt, “Don’t worry! If they don’t like you, they can only appear in my dreams. I definitely won’t tell you.”

Ji Shu was immediately shocked by Rong Ziyan’s nonsensical words. Even the System was startled.

System: “So, what’s with the dream apparition?”

Rong Ziyan justified, “How else can they argue? They can’t just come out in broad daylight and say, ‘No! I don’t allow it!'”

It made so much sense that the System was speechless.

And Ji Shu, who was originally bursting with the desire to perform, was enveloped by the terrifying plot of a dream visitation. For the next two hours of the car ride, he didn’t dare to sleep, fearing that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would dream of Rong Ziyan’s father coming to beat him in his dream, “Damn! You bastard actually dare to covet my son.”

When they were about to arrive, Ji Shu whispered his imagination to Rong Ziyan.

Rong Ziyan comforted him again, “Don’t be afraid, my dad was just an ordinary farmer. If someone said ‘this seat’, it must be some other wandering ghost impersonating him. Just don’t believe it.”

Ji Shu was dumbfounded again.

The System also collapsed. It thought, how did a proper meeting with parents suddenly turn into a horror film?

With all the noise, the car finally stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Rong Ziyan didn’t deal with the land issue first. Instead, he took Ji Shu up the mountain to pay respects to his parents.

Just like last time, Rong Ziyan only brought two bottles of white wine.

When they reached the tombstone, Rong Ziyan first cleared away the weeds, and then took off his coat and threw it on the ground. He pulled Ji Shu to sit on it together.

“Wouldn’t that be a little disrespectful?” Ji Shu was worried.

Usually, these kinds of things should be of the utmost importance, but Rong Ziyan seemed a little too casual.

But Rong Ziyan shook his head, “It’s fine, if you’re too restrained, they’ll be awkward.”

Rong Ziyan opened the white wine, took a sip from the bottle, and then opened the other bottle, pouring it into the small wine cup in front of the tombstone.

It was as if his father, whom he hadn’t seen for many years, was sitting opposite him.

“Dad, Mom,” holding Ji Shu’s hand, Rong Ziyan’s tone was full of smiles, “I found someone I like, and I’ve brought him for you to see.”

Ji Shu subconsciously sat up straight, but Rong Ziyan, not minding at all, handed the wine bottle he had drunk from to Ji Shu, “Take a sip.”

Ji Shu had never drunk like this before, and he took a big gulp, his stomach immediately burning.

Rong Ziyan saw that his face was flushed and didn’t let him drink anymore. Instead, he drank and chatted with his parents.

“Although he’s not the gentle little girl that Mom you liked, Ji Shu is indeed gentle. As for you, Dad, you told me before that when choosing a partner, I should find someone I’m compatible with, and I think Ji Shu is quite good, so…” Rong Ziyan paused, “Even if there are some shortcomings, I think you’ll be able to accept it, right!”

Rong Ziyan was not just talking to himself.

Perhaps because of his complicated family, Rong Ziyan’s father, although not favored, had a very adaptable personality. He never coveted things that didn’t belong to him and was upright.

And Rong Ziyan’s mother was a very open-minded woman. Rong Ziyan remembered that when he was little, his two aunts would try to pick fights with his mother, but in the end, she would skillfully resolve them.

At that time, Rong Ziyan often felt that his mother was wronged, but his mother could tell him many principles.

The sentence Rong Ziyan remembered most clearly was, “In this lifetime, there will always be many dissatisfactions, but as long as there is one thing that can make you happy, it is a kind of happiness.”

For Rong Ziyan’s mother, her loving husband and obedient and intelligent son were her good fortune. Because of them, she could tolerate her terrible sisters-in-law, her greedy elder brother-in-law, and her unhelpful parents-in-law.

And the reason why Rong Ziyan was able to work hard in the face of setbacks, not be discouraged, and stand up and move forward was all due to the teachings of his parents when he was young.

Therefore, now that he brought Ji Shu to see his parents, he had only one thought.

He wanted to tell his parents that he wouldn’t be alone anymore and that he had found someone to accompany him for the rest of his life. The road ahead would also be less bumpy with Ji Shu’s companionship.

He wanted his parents to be at ease.

Rong Ziyan had visited his parents’ graves countless times, but only today was his tone undisguised and completely lighthearted.

As usual, he finished one bottle of wine, which counted as the end of the memorial. Rong Ziyan helped Ji Shu up, but the alcohol was intoxicating, and he accidentally half-knelt on the ground.

Ji Shu bent down to help him up.

Rong Ziyan looked up at him and suddenly smiled.

Rong Ziyan was handsome, and unlike Ji Shu’s bewitching beauty, Rong Ziyan’s beauty lay in the calm and gentle look in his eyes.

Especially the way his eyes were full of his love for the other person, it was even more captivating, making people want to drown in the warmth surrounding Rong Ziyan.

Ji Shu was stunned. But Rong Ziyan pulled him down to kneel with him.

“What’s wrong?” Ji Shu didn’t understand, but Rong Ziyan gently pressed his back, making him kneel down together.

A voice full of laughter rang in Ji Shu’s ear, “First bow to heaven and earth.”
