Chapter 483: Shin and Huian (2)

Shin abruptly stopped in his steps that made Liang Xiao Dan get her chance to beat him up.

“Mom, mom, stop! What did you say?”

Huian was also just as perplexed at her words.

Liang Zou said, “See? I told you. We aren’t mad at your pregnancy but at the idiocy of our son,” he shook his head, “We don’t remember raising him to be such a fool.”

Liang Xiao Dan smacked hard on his head. “What were you thinking? For God’s sake, Huian is pregnant with your child, and you ask her just to date you!? At this stage, you should have asked her to be your wife!”

Huian froze. She looked at the elder Liang couple with complete disbelief.

Liang Xiao Dan beat him up real good.

“Ow, ow! It hurts!”

“That’s why I am hitting you.”

Then she quickly abandoned him and rushed towards Huian. She held her hands and apologetically said, “Dear, I am so sorry on behalf of my idiot son. I know you must be disappointed with him, but please give him a chance, okay? Don’t leave him, please!”

Shin’s mouth twitched.

Huian quickly said, “A-aunt, what are you saying?”

The situation reversal bewildered her. She was sure that she would be getting their harsh words. Instead, Shin got the harsh beating of his mother.

Does that mean…

“You-you don’t mind…us…I-I mean our relationship or this child?” Her voice was hardly audible. It took a lot of courage for her to finally come out with the question.

Liang Zou and Liang Xiao Dan were stunned.

“Of course not, dear. Why would we mind? You are perfect for Shin! I am so glad you two like each other.”

She felt like a huge boulder was lifted off her chest, and she could finally breathe.

Liang Zou smiled. “Whatever happened is in the past now. We mustn’t let it affect our present. We couldn’t be any happier than this with your relationship.”

Liang Xiao Dan chuckled. “And as long you two like each other, what else do we want? Love and feelings are the most important things, not the past.”

Huian couldn’t hold back her tears and finally burst out as they rolled down her cheeks.

“Oh, dear!”

“Huian!” Shin quickly came to her side.

Liang Xiao Dan glared at him. “Look what you did! Your half-assed proposal made her cry! How dare you make my daughter-in-law sad?”

Daughter-in-law…

That form of address shook her heart, and Huian got more emotional. She cried harder. She truly hadn’t expected this outcome.

Even though she knew that they were kind and open-minded people, she couldn’t help but not get rid of that gnawing feeling in her heart about their possible rejection.

Liang Zou quickly said, “You shouldn’t take stress in this condition, dear. Did we say something wrong?”

Huian trembled and shook her head. “No…I am just…really happy…”

She wiped her cheeks and sniffled. “I am sorry I suddenly…”

Liang Xiao Dan shook her head. “It’s alright. I understand your feelings. It’s hard for a woman who has gone through what you have. A new relationship and acceptance are akin to just a dream. Many lose the hope of finding another love.”

Huian furiously nodded. That was exactly what she felt all this time.

She patted her head. “But everyone should have a chance to move forward and change their life. We are proud that you did it.”

Shin smiled.

“Thank you…” Huian felt genuinely grateful.

Liang Zou asked, “Have you told about you and Shin to your parents?”

Huian shook her head. “No.”

Shin said, “No worries. After talking to you, we were going to talk to Uncle and Aunt Xiang.”

Liang Xiao Dan nodded. “Good, good. If you need our help as the elders, please don’t hesitate to come to us, okay? We will talk to them.”

Huian said, “No, Aunt. It’s okay. I am sure Mom and Dad will support us too.”

“That’s great! Ah, Zou, I am so excited! I still cannot believe we are going to be grandparents! I have to prepare for so many things!”

Liang Zou chuckled. “We were nudging him for a girlfriend all this time. Instead, he gave us a double dose of happiness. Not bad, son!”

Shin grinned.

After the Liang villa, Shin and Huian set off for Xiang villa to meet Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge.

And now, Shin was finally getting nervous. “What do you think? Are my clothes, alright? Is my hairstyle okay? I think I should just change into some other clot-“

“No! You have already changed four times! Not anymore,” She sighed.

“What happened to your confidence? Just a while ago, when I met your parents and asked you the same questions, you just shrugged it off.”

“Of course, I did. My parents are chill. Your parents might be chill too, but in the end, they the daughter’s parents. Aren’t fathers especially protective of daughters? Look at my Dad. What if I put him off and he rejects me?”

Huian’s brow twitched. “Nothing like that will happen. My Dad is cool and gentle. Don’t look as if he will eat you up.”

“I cannot help it.”

From the window, Xiang Qingge saw a car arrive at the gate.

“Wei! Look here! Shin and Huian have come together. Do you think…”

Xiang Wei seriously gave it a thought. “I think so too. She must have brought him to introduce him as her boyfriend.”

Xiang Qingge was excited. “I hope it is true!”

Huian and Shin entered the living, and they were shocked to see her parents already present.

“Mom, Dad. I thought you must be in your room.”

Xiang Qingge said, “The maid came and said that she saw you coming.”

Xiang Wei alternated his gaze between them.

Shin stiffened and awkwardly smiled. Inwardly, he was freaking out.

“Shin, why are you standing so far? Come. Come inside,” Xiang Qingge held his hand and brought him in.

“Sit, sit. I have made some snacks for you two.”

Huian blinked her eyes and noticed that her mother was behaving a little differently, and her father was eyeing Shin up and down.

What’s up with them…?
