CHAPTER 353: CHAPTER 353: DISCUSSING GOING TO SEA CITY TOGETHER

She pulled Aunt Lin over to He Qi’an, "Aunt, this is Qi An, my boyfriend. How is he? Pretty good choice, right!"

He Qi’an looked up, confused, first at Lin Xiaoyan, then at the woman in front of him.

"Qi An, this is Aunt Lin."

He Qi’an immediately understood—this was the legendary unreasonable, opportunistic, capricious Aunt Lin.

"Hello, Aunt."

Aunt Lin laughed loudly, "Hey, good, good, I didn’t know about your engagement. Come to our house for lunch sometime, so you can familiarize yourself with the place."

He Qi’an smiled politely, "Alright, Aunt."

"Sister-in-law, hurry over, your aunts are here looking for you!"

At this point, Lin Fu came over and pulled Aunt Lin away.

Once Aunt Lin left, Lin Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and looked helplessly at her boyfriend beside her.

She noticed He Qi’an was smiling at her, and she glared at him helplessly.

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo came over after distributing things, "Xiao Yan, everything’s handed out. What else needs doing?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked around, saw her cousin sitting there eating seeds, and her other cousins also arrived.

"You guys sit and rest, I’ll have someone else handle it!"

Lin Xiaoyan called her cousin and other cousins over and had them distribute cigarettes, move the alcohol, and hand out drinks.

Lin Mu pulled Nan Xi and Xiao Bo to sit down and didn’t let them get up to work anymore.

With their free time, Nan Xi and Xiao Bo looked at the lively scene, feeling nostalgic.

Nan Xi had never experienced this growing up, so he was very curious.

Xiao Bo, after joining the military, hadn’t experienced such liveliness either, so he fondly remembered it.

Lin Xiaoyan was also arranged to sit down and rest. She sat at a table with her aunts, chatting and laughing.

Once everyone was there, the banquet quickly started.

After a busy day, the full moon banquet finally ended.

As soon as the banquet ended, Lin Hao had to return to Sea City.

Lin Xiaoyan also had to leave.

In the evening, the family sat together, discussing Lin Hao’s return to Sea City.

Fan Lalan was reluctant for her husband to leave. Even with her in-laws around, she felt sad and wanted to cry at the thought of her husband’s departure.

Tears flowed uncontrollably, filled with reluctance and grievance.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyan, Lin Fu, and Lin Mu all sighed.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her silent brother, "Why don’t you take the kids and go to Sea City too?"

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, both Lin Hao and Fan Lalan looked at her.

Lin Xiaoyan turned to her parents, "Dad, Mom, you should go to Sea City too."

"The house is ready for you; you can move in when you arrive. An’an is still young, and with my brother busy at work, you can help take care of the child."

Lin Fu and Lin Mu exchanged glances and looked at their expectant daughter-in-law. They felt compelled to agree.

Now, with their son leaving, their daughter-in-law cried miserably, wherever they lived was the same, wherever they stayed was the same.

Lin Xiaoyan saw her parents still hesitating and laughed, "If not, we can hire a nanny to take care of An’an."

As soon as they heard about hiring a nanny for their grandchild, Lin Fu and Lin Mu immediately opposed.

"A nanny is no good! The nanny is an outsider; how could she seriously care for a child!" Lin Fu rejected outright.

Lin Mu also said, "No good, nannies aren’t reliable. Haven’t you seen the news? Many nannies are careless, and children get into trouble!"

"I’ll go to Sea City with your mom!"

Lin Fu decided firmly, "Actually, it’s just right, there’s a construction site I need to inspect in Sea City. If it’s suitable, I’ll bring people over there to work.

It might take about half a year."

Lin Mu’s face lit up with a smile upon hearing this, "Then it’s perfect. We go to Sea City, and you’re working there, close by!"

Lin Fu: "It’s not settled yet. We’ll see when we get to Sea City."

With everyone saying this, they agreed to go to Sea City.

After the full moon banquet, He Qi’an left as well. He needed to return to work and couldn’t stay away for too long.

Since the decision was made to go to Sea City, everyone returned home to pack for departure.

Lin Xiaoyan watched her parents packing and said, "Dad, Mom, I won’t be going to Sea City with you this time."

Lin Fu and Lin Mu stopped what they were doing and looked at their daughter, "You focus on your work, Yanyan. No matter where you go, remember to update us on your safety."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Yes, I got it."

"In Sea City, if anything comes up, go find Qi An."

Lin Fu: "Don’t worry, with Qi An there, how could anything happen!"

Lin Xiaoyan: .....

Early the next morning, Lin Xiaoyan and Nanxi Xiaobo set off first.

Before leaving, she hugged her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and An’an, making sure they were all okay before she left at ease.

"Xiao Yan, where are we going?" Xiao Bo asked while driving.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Since we’re in Yu Province, let’s tour around Yu Province!"

Nan Xi: "We’re in the south of Yu Province right now, let’s head north."

"Alright!"

Meanwhile, Uncle Lin’s family at home was discussing Lin Xiaoyan.

Cousin Lin Cong said enviously, "Dad, did you see the watch my little uncle and brother were wearing yesterday? I checked last night, that watch costs tens of thousands!"

Uncle Lin scoffed, "Are you blind? Can your uncle afford such an expensive watch? Who’s he kidding!"

Lin Cong pouted, "Forget it if you don’t believe me!

Just as you didn’t see the car Sister Yan was sitting in, her boyfriend opened that car yesterday! It’s worth millions!"

While leaving yesterday, since there were people to drop off, He Qi’an drove them, and Xiao Bo stayed at the restaurant watching the belongings.

Thus, when He Qi’an was driving, Lin Cong saw him and assumed the car belonged to He Qi’an.

In Lin Cong’s mind, He Qi’an was his future cousin-in-law, so the car was basically his cousin’s!

Aunt Lin beside them had a sour expression, feeling intensely jealous.

She snorted, "With Sister Yan looking like that, can someone with such good conditions really be interested in her?

Humph, even if he is now, later on... humhp."

She left the rest unsaid, but the implication was that even if they married, they wouldn’t make it work.

Lin Cong and his wife lowered their heads and stayed silent, not engaging.

Uncle Lin also kept quiet, continued his meal with his head down.

Aunt Lin fumed at her husband’s unsupportive demeanor, exploded with insults demanding he find work.

"What cursed life did I lead in a past life, to end up with such a useless fool this time!

Can’t earn a single penny, making me graze like a cow!

Hurry up and find a job, why does your brother have money while you don’t? You..."

And here it goes again!

Lin Cong and his wife took their bowls and left, preferring not to hear more.

Uncle Lin seemed accustomed, slowly continued eating without responding.

If he spoke, he’d face even harsher wrath.
