Yan Qianqian

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, waking the sleeping Ai Chun and Yan Xiner. After they finished washing up, they walked hand in hand together to their parents' residence to pay their respects.

When they arrived at Ai Sheng and Guo Lanxin's room, Ai Sheng and his wife had already risen and been waiting for quite some time.

Seeing the two children so deeply affectionate, Ai Sheng and Guo Lanxin felt nothing but gratification in their hearts. They smiled and said to Ai Chun and Yan Xiner: "You two, if there's nothing especially important in the future, you don't need to come pay respects every day. As long as you two live in harmony and peace, that's better than anything!

Of course, if you can let us hold a grandson soon, that would be even more perfect!" Finished speaking, the couple exchanged a smile.

Hearing their parents' words, Ai Chun and Yan Xiner couldn't help but feel a bit shy, but more than that they were moved. Especially Ai Chun — he knew deeply his parents' constant care and expectations for him, and at this moment he secretly resolved that he must strive to let his family live a happy life.

Simultaneously, Ai Sheng was also calculating in his heart what sort of official post he should arrange for Ai Chun that would be suitable — one that could make use of his son's talents without overworking him.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye the day of the return visit arrived. This day, Ai Chun rose early and tidied up properly, then accompanied Yan Xiner onto the exquisitely decorated carriage, heading slowly toward An Wangfu. Along the way, the couple chatted and laughed, looking forward to the warm scene after returning to her natal home.

Finally, the carriage arrived before the gates of An Wangfu. The Wangfei had long since received the news and had instructed the gatekeeper in advance: the moment he saw the Eldest Miss's carriage return, he was to come report immediately. So when the gatekeeper spotted the carriage's silhouette from afar, he jogged all the way to inform the Wangfei.

Learning that her daughter and son-in-law had returned, the Wangfei's mood was exceptionally excited. She hurriedly pulled her personal maid Chunxi and walked quickly out the mansion gate, preparing to welcome them personally.

Before long, the carriage stopped steadily at the entrance. Ai Chun lifted the curtain first, nimbly jumped down from the carriage, then turned and carefully reached out his hand, supporting Yan Xiner as she slowly descended.

Everyone fixed their gaze and saw that although Yan Xiner had already arranged her hair into a dignified married woman's bun, it could not conceal her natural beauty in the slightest. Moreover, after marriage Yan Xiner's complexion had become even more rosy; her whole person looked radiant, exuding a captivating charm.

The moment Yan Xiner stepped down, she couldn't wait to rush toward the Wangfei, sweetly calling out: "Mother!" Having been away from home for many days, seeing her family now, she instantly reverted to that innocent little girl, acting spoiled toward her mother to her heart's content.

The Wangfei wore a kind and amiable smile, her gaze gently resting on the two before her. Just then, An Wang strode out from the inner room with brisk, rapid steps.

Seeing this, Ai Chun hurriedly called out respectfully: "Yuefu! Yue Mu! Please come in!" His voice was loud and full of enthusiasm.

The Wangfei smiled and beckoned to the two, saying affectionately: "Come in quickly! Don't stand at the door." So Ai Chun and Yan Xiner followed the Wangfei inside together.

After the group reached the Front Hall, An Wang lightly patted Ai Chun's shoulder and called him to one side. Leaving Yan Xiner and An Wangfei alone in the room, the two immediately began chatting about family matters, speaking intimate private words.

After An Wang pulled Ai Chun aside, he first spoke earnestly: "This child Xin'er, from a young age she was held in the palm of my hand and spoiled. If in the future she does anything improper, you may speak frankly and tell her to correct it, but you must absolutely never lay a hand on her or scold her.

If this King learns that Xin'er has suffered any grievance or harm, regardless of the reason, this King will absolutely not hesitate to directly turn that Shangshufang upside down!" As he spoke these words, An Wang's expression was solemn and serious, his tone firm and forceful.

Hearing this, Ai Chun hurriedly nodded like a garlic-pounder, promising: "Father-in-law rest assured, your son-in-law will certainly protect Xin'er completely, and will absolutely not let her suffer even the slightest harm."

Seeing Ai Chun express himself so, An Wang nodded slightly, showing satisfaction. Immediately after, he asked caringly about Ai Chun's future life plans: "Worthy son-in-law, I wonder what plans you have for the future? If you intend to enter officialdom, have you thought about what kind of post you'd like to pursue?"

Facing An Wang's question, Ai Chun considered briefly and replied: "Replying to Father-in-law, your son-in-law has always loved reading, and at the same time is passionate about teaching and nurturing students."

Hearing this, An Wang couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He secretly pondered how to secure a suitable position for his son-in-law, to give as much help and support as possible. After all, with his deep love for his daughter, he naturally hoped Ai Chun could achieve something in officialdom and build a career.

After Ai Chun and Yan Xiner had lunch together at An Wangfu, they returned…
