“It’ll be fine if you do things as usual whenever you have an assignment. We’ll come back here again when you retire,” Yan Zhiqing said.

It was close, anyway.

“We don’t need to stay for long. After all, both of us still have family members around. The elders of our two families are getting older as well, so we should spend as much time with them as possible,” Wei Wucai said.

Yan Zhiqing nodded. What Wei Wucai had mentioned was a problem as well.

“So, we can stay here for a period of time. When Mount Lan Compound has work for me to do and it happens that you don’t have work, we can go back there together,” Wei Wucai said.

Old Mrs. Yan clapped happily. “See, it got solved just like that. This is great!”

“Hang on!” Yan Beicheng heard something that wasn’t quite right. “What’s going on? You’re already living with Zhiqing now?”

Wei Wucai was speechless.

Yan Beicheng truly paid very sharp attention to the conversation.

Wei Wucai couldn’t be judged just by how he bothered Yan Zhiqing and asked to stay with her the moment he came back.

After all, this conversation was being held in the presence of her family and elders.

Wei Wucai didn’t want to appear that bold.

Unexpectedly, his boldness was unmasked by a single line from Yan Beicheng.

Yan Zhiqing then said, “Older Brother, previously at the set, we saw each other every day. We just weren’t together around the lock. With the rate our relationship is progressing, it can’t be compared to normal relationships. So, I think that living together is just natural.”

After being rebutted by his younger sister, Yan Beicheng was so angry he couldn’t speak.

Lin Chu found it amusing, but she also felt her heart ache to see Yan Beicheng so angry.

So, she quietly held his hand.

As expected, once she did that, Yan Beicheng’s anger simmered down.

“Your older brother is just showing his concern for you. Look at how you’re so simple-minded,” Old Mrs. Yan said with a smile.

Afterward, she said to Yan Beicheng, “All right. Zhiqing is an adult now. And you wouldn’t let her suffer, right?”

When Wei Wucai heard that, he realized Old Mrs. Yan was attacking him.

So, before Yan Beicheng could say anything, Wei Wucai declared, “I absolutely will not mistreat Zhiqing. Be it now or in the future, I will never do so. Even more so, I will never do anything that will let her down.”

Wei Wucai held Yan Zhiqing’s hand. “Tomorrow, we’ll go to my family home and have a formal meeting with my elders. I haven’t told Zhiqing this, but if everything goes as I hope, we’ll be able to have our wedding set by the time the year is over.”

After all, there was only a month left before the end of the year. Once this month was over, it would be the new year.

Wei Wucai thought it wasn’t realistic to get engaged right now.

He would be happy to do so, but the Yan Family definitely wouldn’t be happy.

So, it was better for him to be more conscientious about it.

“If Zhiqing doesn’t want to get married so soon, we can get engaged first,” Wei Wucai said.

Yan Zhiqing was astonished to hear this. “You… Why haven’t you mentioned this to me before?”

“Initially, I thought sincerity and surprise were needed for the proposal, so I kept it a secret from you. I wanted to wait for the right time to propose to you,” Wei Wucai explained. “However, since we’re before your elders today, I need to give them a guarantee so they can be at ease. This is why I had no choice but to talk about it right now.”

Wei Wucai hurriedly added, “I didn’t have any intention of pressuring you.”

Yan Zhiqing rested her chin on her hand and thought about it for a moment. Afterward, she said with a bright smile, “Actually, I’m fine with getting married. I don’t have any desire to not get married right now.”

“After all, my filming career won’t suffer any constraints due to my marriage. To begin with, I don’t need to depend on collaborations with actors as a couple to increase my popularity.”

Moreover, she wasn’t particularly fond of filming purely romance films.

If no one wanted to cast her in romance films because they thought she wouldn’t be suitable for them as a married woman…

Then that would be great. She just wouldn’t act in them.

There were so many genres she could be an actress in; she didn’t need to stick to just one.

Yan Zhiqing was so confident, as she wasn’t afraid that she would run out of work.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to be as bold as Yan Zhiqing.

A constraint on their filming career meant there would be one less potential area to expand to, which in turn meant there would be less work for them.

“You’ll be going to the Wei Family’s home tomorrow, right?” Old Mrs. Yan asked.

Wei Wucai turned his head and asked Yan Zhiqing first, “Can we?”

“Sure.” Yan Zhiqing nodded.

They first came here to visit the Yan Family’s two elders today.

It wouldn’t be good if they didn’t visit the two elders of the Wei Family immediately afterward.

She couldn’t really say that she was tired either.

Her life right now was much more relaxed than when she lived her extremely busy work life on the set.

For Yan Zhiqing, all this was like a vacation.

So, she wasn’t tired.

“In that case, I’ll wait for you to head there first before I contact your grandmother. The two of us will have a proper discussion, split up the work, and spread the good news to each of our families,” Old Mrs. Yan said.

Wei Wucai was speechless.

This tradition of spreading the news to different families without delay whenever there was good news was truly really well preserved.

In the past, it had always been the lonely fight of each family’s female elder.

This time, it was a rare alliance between the Yan and Wei Families.

This meant it was the formidable alliance of Old Mrs. Yan and Old Mrs. Wei.

Wei Wucai shivered on behalf of the unmarried members of their families.

In the evening, Yan Zhiqing and Wei Wucai stayed behind for dinner before leaving.

Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu, as well as their child, left together with them.

The thing that rather surprised Wei Wucai was that after stepping out of the house, Yan Beicheng unexpectedly did not say any hateful words or give any warnings to Wei Wucai.

Yan Beicheng probably had enough confidence in himself, so he wasn’t afraid Wei Wucai would dare mistreat Yan Zhiqing.

Yan Shian was still sleeping soundly.

Yan Shiyu was initially still a bit sleepy, but he immediately became fully awake after feeling the freezing air outside.

Before they parted, he even slopped a wet saliva-filled kiss on Yan Zhiqing’s face.

Then Yan Shiyu became especially happy whilst in Lin Chu’s embrace.

If it were not because Yan Shiyu was still a little kid, Wei Wucai would have stopped holding back against him a long time ago!

Once they were in the car, Wei Wucai hurriedly pulled out a wet wipe for Yan Zhiqing to wipe her face.

After becoming a couple with Yan Zhiqing, Wei Wucai had been particularly attentive to these things.

So, he bought wet wipes that contained the moisturizing ingredient, hyaluronic acid. They could be used to wipe the face directly, without fear of irritating the skin.

Actually, the saliva on Yan Zhiqing’s face had long dried thanks to the wind outside.

However, Wei Wucai insisted on wiping Yan Zhiqing’s face, anyway.

Yan Zhiqing said frustratedly, “It’s just a little kid’s saliva. It’s not dirty.

“It’s not about whether it’s dirty,” Wei Wucai said. “Even if it’s a little kid, he’s still male!”

Yan Zhiqing couldn’t restrain herself and burst into laughter. “Seriously? You’re jealous even of a little kid? He’s only two years old!”

“It’s exactly because he’s only two years old that I restrained myself. Otherwise, if he were a bit older, see if he can even kiss you,” Wei Wucai said while gritting his teeth.

Yan Zhiqing didn’t know what to say.

Wei Wucai thought that Yan Zhiqing was going to think he was petty.

Of course, even if she thought that way, he wasn’t going to change his mind.

He was indeed that petty.

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhiqing reached out with her hands and held Wei Wucai’s cheeks.
