Maybe she doesn’t…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, I’ll listen to Auntie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan’s words shattered Qin Yun’s plan; he was utterly dejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But while Hu Fen was in the shower, Su Huan leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Auntie still has to go to work, doesn’t she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qin Yun instantly perked up, grinning like an idiot—so much so that Su Huan blushed with indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew you were thinking about nothing but this—you beast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe!” Qin Yun didn’t defend himself. “A beast is better than a beast without a soul. You don’t know how your fans were fawning over you during the livestream—said you’re as beautiful as a celestial fairy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s exaggerated.” Su Huan blushed, lightly swatting his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not exaggerated.” Qin Yun cupped her face and gazed down at her. “More beautiful than a celestial fairy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan burst into laughter. “If you keep talking like this, I’ll actually believe you. If I were truly more beautiful than a celestial fairy, why didn’t you ever treat me differently before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was blind and stupid back then—no need to bring it up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun had no qualms about self-deprecation—he berated himself without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, by the way, did a TV station contact you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan nodded. “Mm, several satellite channels came—Hunan TV, Tomato TV, Zhejiang TV—all the major ones, plus some local stations. But I turned them all down. I got busy and forgot to tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you interested? They said they’re ready to contact you anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun shook his head. “Not right now. Turning them down was fine. I’m not going into entertainment—I’ll stick to my current foundation. People don’t want to see me acting or singing. We need to know our place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t dwell on it. When Hu Fen finished showering, it was Su Huan’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Fen called Qin Yun into the room and said sternly, “When you go to Xiao Su’s house, stay sharp. You two just started dating—don’t sleep together at her place. That’s basic respect. I know young people do everything, but facts are facts, appearances are appearances—do you understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun hadn’t thought that far—he figured since they were together, sharing a bed was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since his mother said it, he always listened to others’ opinions and wouldn’t argue. He nodded. “Mm, I understand. Don’t worry, Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Fen sighed. “You blind fool—Su Huan is so wonderful, you’ve known her for years, and only now are you together. What’s in that wooden head of yours? Why did you waste so long with that Song girl? You were completely obsessed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, better late than never.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” Hu Fen poked his head. “Su Huan told me she liked you since college. Don’t let her down—such a good girl, you won’t find another like her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, rest easy—I’ll only ever have Su Huan for the rest of my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I won’t nag anymore. You’re almost thirty, but it’s not too late. Your father would be happy if he knew.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the five or six days before the New Year, Qin Yun took Su Huan out for light sightseeing—no meeting elders—but he introduced her to a few younger relatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they’d seen Su Huan on video, seeing her in person still stunned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big bro, you really hit the jackpot—your girlfriend’s this gorgeous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xingzhi said enviously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xingzhi was his aunt’s son, but among their generation, he was the eldest. Fang Xingzhi was second; the third was his third aunt’s daughter, Shao Meng; the fourth was Shen Jia, the youngest aunt’s daughter; the fifth was Hu Di, the youngest uncle’s son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for him, who’d been married once, Fang Xingzhi was the oldest, just graduated college. Shao Meng was still in college; Shen Jia and Hu Di were still in middle or high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun smirked. “You don’t get it—I’m handsome too. We’re a perfect match. Don’t make it sound like I’m climbing up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft!” Shao Meng scoffed. “Think about your status—what else is it if not climbing up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, exactly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Di and Shen Jia immediately joined the chorus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough.” Qin Yun snapped. “I’m paying for this meal—show some respect to the moneybag.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister-in-law, look!” Shen Jia turned and complained. “He’s always treated us like this—used to have a job earlier, had more money, and always mistreated us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan didn’t hesitate to betray Qin Yun. “Mm, if you ever need money, tell Sister-in-law—I’ll send you red envelopes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay! Sister-in-law, you’re amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bonding with the younger ones, Qin Yun took Su Huan to meet a few friends from high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they knew it, it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, Mom, we’re checking in—go home now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, Xiao Su, text me when you get home, and say hello to your parents for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, Auntie, I will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Hu Fen left, they finished check-in and wandered around the terminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nervous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fingers intertwined, Su Huan shook his hand and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, not nervous. I’m not the one meeting parents—I’m not the nervous one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun didn’t dare look at her—his conscience was screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? You don’t care about me?” Su Huan said. “Only if you don’t expect anything do you feel no nerves. Only if you don’t care do you not expect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do care.” Qin Yun quickly turned his head and saw her smirking. He sighed, ruffling her hair. “You just love exposing my act.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe!” Su Huan let go of his hand and walked backward two steps. “Just thinking about you meeting my parents makes me happy. Ever since they found out we’re together, they’ve been dying to meet you. You’d better behave well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry.” Qin Yun patted his chest. “I’ve taken down Arctic wolves and knocked out brown bears. Trust me—your parents will be thrilled. If not, I can do a chest-breaking stunt right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get lost, you’re not serious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Su Huan’s radiant smile, Qin Yun felt the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped she’d always be happy, never regret choosing him to spend her life with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, please note: Passengers on Xiamen Airlines flight MF7006 to Chengde Puning…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the announcement came, Qin Yun and Su Huan exchanged glances and headed to the boarding gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a three-hour flight, they dragged their suitcases onto a ride-hailing car at Chengde Puning Airport and arrived at Bifeng Garden Community in under forty minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still not nervous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop it—I’m terrified.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan wanted to laugh but feared getting hit, so she held it in, swiped her face to unlock the gate, and led Qin Yun, dragging their luggage, toward home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buildings looked old—probably over twenty years—and though the surroundings were well-equipped and convenient, the neighborhood buzzed with life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the gate, residents came and went—some walking dogs, others pushing strollers. Young and old alike, the place teemed with energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These buildings are over twenty years old—I moved here as a kid. The age is old, but the environment’s good, life’s convenient, and most importantly, the prices aren’t high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan held Qin Yun’s hand as she walked, explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey… Huanhuan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a young mother pushing a stroller waved from afar, then hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan’s face lit up; she let go of Qin Yun’s hand and rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hugged and chattered excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That your boyfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan nodded. “Mm. How’s he? Handsome?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stunning.” The woman nodded vigorously, almost drooling. “Good things come to those who wait—you finally landed a good one. I figured your late return this year meant you were visiting his family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, you’ve got a kid now—I’ve got to hurry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting a while, Su Huan pulled Qin Yun over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zheng Yuanyuan—my elementary, middle, and high school classmate, and neighbor.” Su Huan introduced. “This is my boyfriend, Qin Yun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun nodded and smiled politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yuanyuan blushed for some reason, grabbed Su Huan, and whispered, “I’m so jealous—you found such a handsome guy. Tell me his flaws so I can feel better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan thought seriously. “Besides being busy with work, he has no flaws.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Agh, you’re killing me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying goodbye to Zheng Yuanyuan, they quickly reached the base of a building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My place is on the top floor. Should I call Dad down to help with these suitcases?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun shook his head, easily lifting both suitcases with one hand each, glancing sideways at her. “Miss, did you forget your boyfriend has superhuman strength?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan remembered something, blushed, turned away, then brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun’s heart tightened. Two middle-aged people stepped out from the stairwell. Their bearing was refined—no doubt they’d been stunning in their youth, and even now, their looks were clearly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huanhuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changhe and Qin Ran knew their daughter and future son-in-law were arriving today. They’d been watching from the kitchen and came down immediately upon seeing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend, Qin Yun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun, carrying both suitcases, quickly greeted them. “Uncle, Auntie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, hello, hello!” They greeted Qin Yun warmly, clearly pleased—especially Su Changhe, who marveled at Qin Yun lifting the suitcases effortlessly. “Little Qin, you’ve got serious strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them had long known Qin Yun—whether from their daughter’s descriptions or from watching his livestreams, Su Huan had already told them every detail about his past and present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t care that Qin Yun had been divorced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they knew him well, and as Su Huan herself said, her feelings for him had lasted ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry upstairs, Auntie’s dinner is ready—your grandpa, grandma, maternal grandma, and paternal grandpa are all there. Changhe, go take Xiao Qin’s luggage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, no need, Auntie, it’s light—I can carry it myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun dared not let his future father-in-law carry it; the man looked refined and scholarly, clearly not used to physical labor—if he strained his back, it would be a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group went upstairs, and Su Huan’s grandparents and maternal grandparents naturally greeted Qin Yun with warm enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders, seeing their granddaughter had found a home, smiled with uncontainable joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Su Huan went to call Hu Fen to let her know she was safe, Qin Yun sat in the living room, patiently chatting with the older family members and answering their questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changhe had no complaints about Qin Yun except for the danger of his job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was handsome and charismatic, earned a high income, and his temperament and personality were clearly gentle. Most importantly, their daughter—who had such a personality—had liked him for so long, which proved he was no bad man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became; the more satisfied he became, the more he thought: why not just get married soon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your aunt retired last year. I still have five years left, but actually, your aunt didn’t want to retire either—it’s just necessary to make room for the younger generation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Su Changhe and Qin Ran were teachers—Su Changhe taught high school, Qin Ran taught middle school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So although they weren’t wealthy or noble, their family’s living conditions were truly quite good—otherwise, they could never have raised a girl like Su Huan, outwardly gentle yet inwardly refined.\u003C\u002Fp>",1911,"2026-06-20T21:37:30.093Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a384c5f291be22a962c60534ee9238e87d8f72051c860e67a5b17c9b4e922b94","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-203","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-201",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
