The working atmosphere in the Yan Group has been extremely tense recently. Discipline has been strictly enforced, making everyone miserable.
All this is because Mr. Yan Yancheng, the next chairman of the group, took his wife and children on a honeymoon.
In order to vent his dissatisfaction, the old chairman tortured his subordinates severely. This situation lasted for nearly three months before it finally ended!
When they heard the news that Mr. Yan and his family were coming back, everyone couldn't help but jump for joy!
They were finally liberated!
The happiest one was Yan Haikun. He was chairing a meeting when he received a message from Wei Shu. Immediately, he spread out his hands and said, "I'm going to resign from the position of chairman. You should report this work to the new chairman from now on."
After saying that, he got up and strode out proudly.
Now that his son was back, it was his turn to go on a honeymoon!
That brat Yancheng had been away with his wife and children for so long without considering his father's feelings. He was already old and had to work day and night, attending meetings and reading documents. At his age, most people in other companies would have retired and enjoyed their lives.
As soon as he got in the car back to the Yan family mansion, Yan Haikun began to plan where to take Yin Shulan on their honeymoon. As he thought, a smile involuntarily appeared on his wrinkled face.
When he got home, he got out of the car and went straight to the big villa next to the Yan family mansion. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the lively voices inside. Temporarily putting aside his honeymoon plan, he rushed towards the kids with a big smile on his face.
"Xuanxuan, Xuxu, have you missed Grandpa during this long time?"
"Anning has grown taller! You're getting more and more beautiful!"
"Oh? You brought gifts for Grandpa? You're really Grandpa's good grandchildren!"
After chatting with the kids, the whole family sat down to have dinner. The long-awaited family dinner was extremely sumptuous, and everyone was very satisfied. At the dinner table, Yan Haikun could hardly contain his excitement and couldn't wait to say:
"Yancheng, since you're back, it's time to take over the position of the chairman of the Yan Group. Tomorrow, we'll go to the company to handle the formalities. I'll entrust the future of the Yan Group to you."
Yan Yancheng paused while cutting the steak and said, "I got it."
"Cough cough." Clearing his throat, Yan Haikun reminded him, "Once you become the chairman, you can't be as capricious as before. You should stay in the company for at least the next two years. Do you understand?"
What he meant was that Yan Yancheng shouldn't look for any excuses to leave in the next two years. It was his turn to enjoy his life.
Yan Yancheng looked at his father's expression with his clear and bright eyes. Hehe, this old man was indeed as sly as he had imagined.
"Actually, Zixi and I have some good news to announce." Yan Yancheng said, "Zixi is pregnant. The baby is 11 weeks old. This is the child that came after I regained my sight. I'll witness its growth with my own eyes. I'll stay in Fengcheng until the baby learns to walk. I won't go anywhere."
"What? Zixi is pregnant again?" Yin Shulan and Xie Shi were extremely happy. They held Xu Zixi's hand and asked her about her feelings during this pregnancy.
Yan Haikun never expected that his son had come back with his family for this reason. But it was also good news for him. He smiled so hard that his face was full of wrinkles again.
After dinner, Yin Shulan and Xie Shi took Xu Zixi away.
Yan Haikun found Yan Yancheng and slapped him on the shoulder hard, saying, "You're really something, kid. How many kids is this? You have more kids than I do."
Yan Yancheng glanced at him and said, "Actually, I didn't want this child at first. But Zixi said that she wanted me to witness the birth of a new life and see how wonderful life is."
Yan Haikun sighed, "Zixi is a good girl. I'm really glad that you met her, and I'm even more glad that you didn't miss her."
Just like when he met Yin Shulan in Jincheng many years ago. That was the craziest experience of his life. With just one look, he knew that he wanted to marry her.
"Dad, I have a question for you." Yan Yancheng looked at Yan Haikun, "When you knew that Mom gave birth to a child with eye problems, did you ever think about getting divorced and remarrying?"
"Never." Yan Haikun said, "I chose to marry her, and I wanted to have a child with her. She had already suffered enough. I wouldn't let her suffer any more."
"What about when you knew that I couldn't see? Did you ever think about asking Mom to have another child?" Yan Yancheng asked again.
"You kid, why are you interrogating me today?" Yan Haikun laughed, "Of course not. When your mother was pregnant with you, she was extremely careful. She never did anything that was bad for you. When she knew that your eyes were blind, she was more sad and self - blaming than anyone else. I wouldn't ask her to have more children for me. I don't need that."
"Even if the Yan Group ends up in my hands one day, I'll arrange everything well for her and you."
The thorn that had been in Yan Yancheng's heart for two lifetimes was finally completely removed at this moment.
He let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes were inexplicably moist: "I thought... you didn't have any feelings for Mom."
"Whether it was Grandma or Great - Grandma. Everyone said that I was born because you wanted an heir. You were always cold to Mom, and Mom was not talkative. Do you know? I used to hate coming back home the most because it was so quiet that I didn't feel like it was a home at all."
Yan Haikun lowered his head and stroked his walking stick.
He knew that in order to let his wife and son stand beside him with dignity, his coldness had hurt their feelings. He had been trying to make up for it, but it wasn't easy to change some established habits.
Fortunately, he still had time. He would try to live longer. In the last days of his life, he would try to be as brave as his son and express his feelings. He would spoil his woman and make her the happiest woman in the world.
Smiling, Yan Haikun said, "So, starting from tomorrow, it's my turn to take your mother on a honeymoon. Although it's many years late, I won't miss out on what I should do for her."
As the night grew deeper, Yan Haikun went to find Yin Shulan and planned to go home with her. When he walked outside a room, he heard the conversation inside.
"Mom, your hand is injured. Why didn't you tell Dad?"
Yin Shulan said, "Forget it. He has so many things to deal with. He doesn't have time to care about me. It's just a small injury. It will heal on its own."
"Zixi, you don't know. Since the day Lan married Yan Haikun, she has been completely under his control. Not to mention a small injury, even if she is seriously ill, she will only call me because she doesn't want to make things difficult for him.
"Back then when she gave birth to Yancheng, Yan Haikun was still on a business trip. It was the nanny and the mother - in - law who accompanied her. Can you imagine how helpless she was? If Yancheng dares to treat you like this, I'll beat him up."
"Ashi, don't talk nonsense. He treats me very well."
"Yes, yes, yes. He treats you well. I can't argue with you."
Yan Haikun let out a silent sigh, then deliberately made some noise. As expected, the conversation in the room stopped, and they started talking about something else. Yan Haikun knocked on the door and said:
"Lan, let's go home."
A moment later, Yin Shulan walked out of the room. Their eyes met, but Yin Shulan quickly avoided Yan Haikun's gaze and walked out with him.
It was just a short distance from the Xu family mansion to the Yan family mansion. But when they went out and were about to go down the stairs, Yan Haikun took Yin Shulan's hand.
Yin Shulan didn't care at first. He did this occasionally, and years of experience had already made her lose that kind of expectation. So after they successfully walked down the stairs, she subconsciously wanted to let go of Yan Haikun's hand, but unexpectedly, he held it tighter.
Moreover, he intertwined their fingers.
Yin Shulan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look up at Yan Haikun.
His hair had completely turned white, and his figure was a little bent. But after all these years, in her eyes, he was still the hero who had punched to protect her from harm.
He asked her, "How did your hand get injured?"
Yin Shulan paused and said, "I accidentally cut it with a utility knife when I was dealing with paintbrushes."
When they got back to the Yan family mansion and stood in the living room, under the light, he took her other hand and looked at her palm.
The wound was quite deep. Because of their age, the wound didn't heal as fast as when they were young. It looked quite shocking.
Yan Haikun stared at her intently, and his eagle - like eyes showed a tenderness that she had never seen before.
"Didn't I say a long time ago that if you're in pain, you should say it. Don't be so stubborn and bear it alone. If something like this happens again in the future, you must tell me immediately. I married you to protect you, not to let you get hurt."
"You can try to be a little more coquettish with me. I like to see you relying on me."
Yin Shulan's hand trembled slightly. She couldn't describe her feelings at this moment. It was like winning the first - prize lottery suddenly. She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
She didn't know that two lines of tears had already rolled down from her eyes. Yan Haikun reached out to wipe away her tears and said:
"Now that the kids have all found their own places, it's time for us to consider our own affairs."
"Wife, let's go on a honeymoon too. I'll accompany you and go to all the places you wanted to go but never had the chance. We'll do all the things you wanted to do but never did. Okay?"
"But what about Zixi..."
"Yancheng will take good care of his wife and children. Ms. Yin, you should also remember that you have a husband."
Yin Shulan was amused by his words. Although she was old, when she smiled, she still gave people a stunning feeling, just like when they first met.
"Okay, let's go on a honeymoon."
The couple walked upstairs hand in hand, discussing where to go for their first honeymoon destination as they walked. Just as their figures were about to disappear, Yan Haikun's voice came from the air.
"Yin Shulan, did I ever tell you something?"
"What?"
"Marrying you was the most correct thing I've ever done in my life."
