After Transmigration: Unexpectedly Wed the Ruthless Tycoon-Chapter 78 Heard It

Gu Fuqiao carried the watermelon outside, placed it in front of Mr. Yan Senior, and said, "Dad, Sister An Ran, have some watermelon."

An Ran knew that Mr. Yan Senior didn’t like eating watermelon, especially now that he’s getting older, the hardships he suffered on the battlefield have turned into chronic ailments, and the doctor advised against eating cold things.

But what An Ran didn’t expect was, Mr. Yan Senior actually took a piece of watermelon and started eating it.

An Ran thought, Mr. Yan Senior must be quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law. So she also picked up a piece of watermelon to eat. She looked carefully at Gu Fuqiao and realized Brother Yan’s wife wasn’t as arrogant as those gossiping relatives said last time she was here, showing disdain for Brother Yan.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be hosting them like this.

Mr. Yan Senior glanced at Gu Fuqiao and said, "Daughter-in-law, I want to stay here for a day. What do you think?"

Realizing Mr. Yan Senior was here to inspect his daughter-in-law, Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "Dad, why say that, this is your home too, of course it’s fine."

"Good that you think that way." Hearing Gu Fuqiao’s answer, Mr. Yan Senior smiled a bit, and put the clean watermelon rind into the trash.

Although Mr. Yan Senior didn’t like watermelon, having lived through hard times, he couldn’t bear to waste even a bit of food now that life was better.

Mr. Yan Senior thought of his rascal son and then looked at the gentle and serene daughter-in-law in front of him, and a thought occurred to him — with such a gentle and quiet daughter-in-law, should he worry that rascal son wouldn’t learn well?

Gu Fuqiao seemed to understand something upon hearing this, afraid that the relationship between Yan Zhen Guo and his father was not good... but come to think of it, she’s been here for over a month or two, and hasn’t seen a single family member from the husband’s side. And Yan Zhen Guo doesn’t just have him; even if they live far apart, he’d at least mention two or three family members occasionally. But Yan Zhen Guo never brought up these things, so his relationship with the family mustn’t be good.

Because both Mr. Yan Senior and An Ran were staying over, and her home only had two rooms, Gu Fuqiao arranged for Mr. Yan Senior to stay in her and Yan Zhen Guo’s room, while she and An Ran would sleep together in the original owner’s previous room. Although Gu Fuqiao wasn’t very familiar with An Ran and didn’t get used to sleeping with others, there was no choice now, she couldn’t just sleep on the floor herself.

As night fell, Gu Fuqiao started cooking. An Ran was easy to get along with, meaning she didn’t talk much. After Mr. Yan Senior went in to rest, An Ran also went to the original owner’s room to rest, leaving Gu Fuqiao alone busy in the kitchen.

She didn’t expect anyone to come, especially her father-in-law, but luckily she was a foodie, so there was plenty of food at home, with extra vegetables and meat.

Gu Fuqiao made twice-cooked pork, then spicy intestines, two small soups, and two cold dishes. Once she set the dishes on the table, both An Ran and Mr. Yan Senior were slightly surprised.

"Sister-in-law, did you make all these dishes?" An Ran looked surprised and asked Gu Fuqiao.

Gu Fuqiao nodded, finding An Ran’s masculine and pretty look appealing. Initially, when she heard An Ran was Yan Zhen Guo’s childhood friend, she imagined some connection between them, but seeing An Ran’s clear, untainted eyes now, she realized she was overthinking it.

"Let me taste the flavors." Mr. Yan Senior poured himself a glass of wine, picked a piece of meat to try, and after a couple of bites, looked at Gu Fuqiao in surprise, saying, "Your cooking skills are good, better than Sister-in-law Chen’s!"

Gu Fuqiao smiled and said, "It’s modest, Dad, if you like it, have more." Just as she finished speaking, the door suddenly opened from outside.

Gu Fuqiao turned her head and saw Yan Zhen Guo had returned.

Upon seeing Mr. Yan Senior and An Ran sitting in his home, Yan Zhen Guo couldn’t help but frown. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Mr. Yan Senior’s expression also froze for a moment upon seeing Yan Zhen Guo, then deliberately put away his seriousness and said, "Aren’t you handling the transfer work? Why are you back?"

"The transfer work is almost done, how come the Dean is at my home." Yan Zhen Guo asked.

Upon hearing these words, Mr. Yan Senior’s eyes widened: "I’m your father! Why can’t I come to your home! It’s your home!" He said, slapping the table with the chopsticks.

Yan Zhen Guo raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, took off his hat and hung it on the coat rack, saying, "Then why ask about my transfer work? Did you think I hadn’t returned from the transfer yet?"

Mr. Yan Senior hadn’t expected his thoughts to be guessed by this rascal, turned his head without speaking.

Seeing the stance between the father and son, Gu Fuqiao stepped forward and said, "Brother Yan, sit down and eat with us." Then she turned to Mr. Yan Senior, "Dad, let’s eat quickly before the food gets cold."

Yan Zhen Guo glanced at Gu Fuqiao and, seeing the hint in her eyes, walked over to sit down.

Once Yan Zhen Guo sat down, Mr. Yan Senior also quietly picked up his chopsticks and started eating. After eating a couple more bites, he said to Gu Fuqiao, "Daughter-in-law, remember to come home with this rascal for the festival this year. Also, I’ll go visit your family tomorrow. Speaking of which, you’ve been married so long, but no one from the husband’s side has visited your family—our manners are really lacking."

Gu Fuqiao hadn’t expected Mr. Yan Senior to think of this during his visit, and felt genuinely touched.

Indeed, she’d been married to Yan Zhen Guo for so long and no one from his family had visited hers. No wonder the Ouyang Family bullied her. If Mr. Yan Senior went there, complemented by Old Mrs. Gu, now with Ouyang Qing driven away, and her parents causing trouble, they’d be silenced!

Gu Fuqiao nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Dad."

"What are you thanking for? It’s just manners." Mr. Yan Senior smiled and then turned with seriousness to Yan Zhen Guo, "You’re busy these days, so I won’t ask you to join us, but make sure to come home for the festival this year, got it!"

Yan Zhen Guo took a couple more bites of his meal, then said calmly, "Got it."

After Mr. Yan Senior and An Ran went to rest, Gu Fuqiao was planning to wash up but suddenly someone grabbed her hand.

Startled, Gu Fuqiao looked at Yan Zhen Guo and said, "Why are you holding me? I’m going to rest."
