Chapter 101: Urged to Procreate Again
Han Yangting said, "There is no need to trouble Second Uncle with this matter. My Ruoruo is still young and hasn't graduated from university yet. Once she graduates, we will certainly hold a grand wedding ceremony for her."
Bai Shuruo nodded subconsciously; at a time like this, she definitely had to stand on Han Yangting's side.
Han Chunqiu added, "Even if you don't hold a wedding, our two families could at least have a meal together. You can't just let the young lady follow you in such a muddled way."
He then looked at Bai Shuruo and said, "This kid Yangting has many young girls who like him in Beishi. Aren't you going to stake your claim early? To save him from being coveted by others."
This tactic was somewhat effective; Bai Shuruo looked at Han Yangting in a daze.
It was true; Han Yangting was so good-looking, and his family background was so good, there must be many girls who liked him.
Han Yangting also looked at Bai Shuruo. Not knowing if it was to put her at ease, he took her hand and said, "Don't pay attention to others. You are the only young lady I have ever liked in this life; I can no longer fit anyone else in my heart."
Bai Shuruo's heart trembled, and she didn't know if what he said was true or false.
Han Yangting then said to Han Chunqiu, "Second Uncle, Ruoruo is tired from playing, so we are heading back first. We will bring Ruoruo to have a meal with everyone later."
Han Chunqiu was displeased in his heart, but on the surface, he was still smiling: "Alright then."
The two returned to Castle No. 1, just in time for dinner.
The castle's dining room was also full of dreamy colors; besides wall lamps, there was a row of Western-style candle lamps. Each dish was served on an exquisite small plate, and the plating was as beautiful as a Michelin restaurant.
Bai Shuruo couldn't help but feel reserved again, always feeling that all of this was not quite real.
Fortunately, there were servants guiding her to wipe her hands, rinse her mouth before the meal, and so on; she felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Han Weimin, Ye Caiyue, and the others were already seated. The two looked at her with smiles; they were enthusiastic, but she just felt like something was separating them. Bai Shuruo thought to herself, this was probably the separation of social classes, quite a few classes at that!
However, Han Dongbei was quite enthusiastic toward her, his daughter-in-law.
Because no one in this house talked to him, he wanted to talk to Bai Shuruo.
"Ruoruo, hurry and sit down. If you want to eat something, let Yangting help you get it. We are all one family now, don't be so reserved."
Bai Shuruo smiled at him and then sat down. Following that, Han Yangting got her a serving of Mushroom Soup, a serving of crispy duck, a serving of mouth-watering chicken, a serving of steak, and a serving of sushi.
There were several chefs in the house, capable of making Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Western dishes. In any case, each serving was only a little bit; eating five or six servings might not even make one full.
Bai Shuruo ate the sushi first. The sushi was filled with fresh salmon; this level of freshness seemed as if it had been caught from the sea that morning and air-freighted here that same day.
She had never eaten such fresh salmon before.
She tasted a piece of steak again; the flavor was also fresh and tender, not fishy or tough, and the texture was excellent.
However, she didn't dare to eat too quickly because the Han family ate so delicately, filled with an aristocratic air.
Even for Han Dongbei, his way of eating looked relatively rough, but he didn't make a sound at all when eating, and his lips remained tightly closed, making it impossible for anyone to see the food in his mouth.
Moreover, once one spoke, the action of eating had to stop.
Han Weimin spoke first to ask Bai Shuruo: "Ruoruo, is this food to your taste? Grandpa specifically had the chefs make dishes of various styles."
Bai Shuruo hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, "Grandpa, this food is very much to my taste. Thank you for your thoughtful arrangements, Grandpa."
Han Weimin nodded and asked again: "This is your first time home; you will stay in the house for a while this time, right?"
Bai Shuruo said: "I still have to... see how things go. I might have to return to Fengcheng for work."
Because Han Yangting had already explained Bai Shuruo's situation early on, Han Weimin could not force her to stay.
However, Han Weimin still asked about the matter he cared about most: "Ruoruo, now that you've come this time, you basically understand our family's situation, right? We are the First Branch here. I only have one son and one grandson; our family line is not prosperous, so there are only these few people who can sit down and eat together. As for me, I urgently hope that Yangting can expand the branches and leaves for our Han Family."
Bai Shuruo was glad she wasn't eating anything, otherwise, she would have choked.
At the same time, she felt immense pressure.
Wealthy families really do want to have many children; it's likely they want to keep having them until they have a son.
Ye Caiyue helped Bai Shuruo out of the awkward situation: "Dad, Ruoruo is still young. Didn't Yangting say he could wait a few more years for her?"
Han Dongbei also said: "That's right, Dad. The matter of having children is not urgent. Yangting isn't old either; men can have children until they are forty. Give them a few more years."
Han Weimin got angry as soon as he saw Han Dongbei. He said coldly: "It is not your turn to speak in this house."
Han Dongbei had no choice but to shut his mouth in dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Han Yangting quietly held Bai Shuruo's hand under the table.
Bai Shuruo had originally been at a loss, but now she suddenly calmed down.
She knew Han Yangting would definitely help her out.
Han Yangting coaxed Han Weimin: "Grandpa, how many grandsons and granddaughters do you want?"
Han Weimin's expression relaxed: "Naturally, the more the better. They must be more than the Second Branch."
When people get old, they just want to compare whose family has more children.
Han Yangting smiled: "Grandpa, don't worry. Ruoruo and I will definitely have several in the future, at least four."
Han Weimin was coaxed into being very happy. He smiled and said: "Just hurry up. You can still pursue your careers after having children. You just focus on having them, and I will be responsible for raising them for you."
"Understood, Grandpa."
Finally, the urging to have children was over, and they could start eating again.
Bai Shuruo pulled her hand out of Han Yangting's palm, yet Han Yangting's hand took the opportunity to rest on her leg.
Her heart tightened, and she glanced at him.
He rubbed her leg, then focused on eating.
Nighttime.
Bai Shuruo was lying on the bed, while Han Yangting had gone to take a shower.
She hurriedly took out her phone and sent the photos she had taken in the Manor today to Bai Shunan.
Bai Shunan replied to the message quickly: 【Ruoruo, where did you go to play?】
Bai Shuruo: 【Sister, this isn't going out to play. This is Han Yangting's home. His home is a large manor with three castles, as well as a helipad and a golf course.】
Bai Shunan: 【Oh my god, I could guess at the beginning that your Big Brother Han was rich, but I didn't expect his family to be this rich!】
Bai Shuruo: "I feel like I am dreaming."
Bai Shunan: "Silly girl, you have struck gold. Cherish it well and have children early; wealthy families all require children."
Bai Shuruo: "Sister, I am a little nervous and also a little afraid."
Bai Shunan: "Silly girl, you are a good girl. Your Big Brother Han dotes on you and loves you; all of this is what you deserve. There is no need to be afraid; just treat this place as your own home. When I have some free time, I will come visit your home."
Bai Shuruo replied with an "Okay."
At this moment, Han Yangting returned from showering, wearing the same style of couple's pajamas as her.
Before she showered, two servants had brought up hundreds of brand-new pajamas for her to choose from, and she had just casually picked a dark pink silk set.
This kind of scene of picking out pajamas, she had only ever seen on television.
The showered Han Yangting was clean and refreshed; he walked toward her, seemingly carrying a fragrance, and she subconsciously shifted toward the edge of the bed.
The Castle had not prepared a separate room for her, so tonight, he would be sharing the bed with her.
