Chapter 278 Tangled
Looking at her daughter, Lin's mother didn't want her to get married so soon, but then she thought about her daughter's age; she would be twenty-three or twenty-four soon after the New Year.

Back in my hometown, everyone younger than my daughter is already married.

"What do you mean fast or slow? What are you talking about?"

After taking a shower, Mr. Lin came out and saw the mother and daughter chatting in the living room. Seeing his daughter's worried expression, he immediately said...

"What happened? It's the New Year, you can't look so down."

Lin's mother looked at her husband and pulled him to sit down. "Tell me, what did Xiao He say to you on the phone before?"

Lin's father looked at his daughter and asked, "What's wrong? He just said his family wants to meet us."

Lin Xiaoyan pouted, "Dad, you and He Qi'an still in contact often?"

Mr. Lin was taken aback. "What's wrong? You don't know?"

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head, and her mother laughed, "She didn't even know about the things Xiao He sent us; Xiao He did it all by himself."

Upon hearing this, Lin's father exclaimed, "This young He is truly remarkable."

Lin Xiaoyan was speechless. Just then, He Qi'an sent her a message asking if she was done with her work and if she was tired...

Lin Xiaoyan immediately replied, "I'm done with work and chatting with my parents right now."

Lin's father looked at his daughter and asked, "Are you chatting with Xiao He?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked up awkwardly, "Oh."

Lin's father looked at his daughter and asked, "So what are you thinking? What do you think of Xiao He as a person?"

"It's great, very excellent," Lin Xiaoyan replied truthfully.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin nodded in agreement, "Yes, Xiao He is good in every way, whether it's his appearance or his job!"

"What about his family?"

Lin Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Last time I went to Beijing on a business trip, I met his family. His grandfather and father were very nice..."

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother immediately asked, "His mother doesn't agree?"

"Yes, she has some issues with me, thinking I'm not good enough for her son."

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lin frowned.

"If his mother doesn't agree, then forget it. If the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law isn't good, it will be difficult to live together." Lin's mother had a long-term perspective; she felt that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very important.

If a mother-in-law wants to ruin her child's marriage, it's incredibly easy.

Lin's father had a different opinion. He asked, "What did Xiao He say? What did his grandfather and father say?"

Lin Xiaoyan recounted He Qi'an's attitude, as well as the attitudes of his grandfather and father.

After hearing this, Lin's father sighed and said, "I think what Xiao He said makes a lot of sense. You're going to live with Xiao He, not with his mother. From now on, you should stay far away from each other and not live together."

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother objected, "How can we not live together for the rest of our lives!"

Lin's father: "Why not? It all depends on Xiao He's attitude."

Moreover, we haven't met Xiao He's family yet.

I think I should meet their family. I'll see how they react then. If it really doesn't work out, then I'll just let it go!

After hearing this, Lin's mother fell silent. She looked at her daughter, wanting to comfort her, but was afraid that her daughter would be wronged, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just then, Lin's father's phone rang.

“Hey, the New Year’s greetings call came in. Let me see who’s calling…” Mr. Lin got up and went to his room to get his phone.

Lin Xiaoyan was feeling down. She looked at her phone, but He Qi'an hadn't replied to her message.

"Hey Xiao He, Happy New Year to you too! What did you eat tonight?"

Upon hearing her father's voice, Lin Xiaoyan immediately looked up.

Lin's mother also turned her head to look, then looked at her daughter, "It was Xiao He who called."

Lin Xiaoyan smiled shyly, "I guess so."

Mr. Lin came out while making a phone call, saying, "It was Xiao He calling to wish us a Happy New Year in advance, hahaha..."

Hey, Yan Yan, your aunt, and I are chatting here... Yes, yeah..."

Lin Xiaoyan and her mother listened to Lin's father talking to He Qi'an on the phone. After five minutes, Lin's father hung up.

"Xiao He is a really good person," Lin's father sighed again.

Lin's mother nodded, and Lin Xiaoyan couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and said, "I'm going back to my room to sleep."

After saying that, she went straight back to her room without waiting for her parents to say anything.

I had just gotten back to my room when my phone rang.

It was a video call from He Qi'an.

When Lin Xiaoyan answered the call, she saw He Qi'an sitting alone in his office.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at him in surprise, "You're alone at the police station?"

He Qi'an nodded with a smile, "Yes, everyone has gone home for the Chinese New Year, and I'm on duty here."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan felt a pang of sympathy. "Are you all alone? What did you eat tonight? What did you eat?"

Seeing his girlfriend's distressed expression, He Qi'an felt a warmth in his heart. "There are still colleagues on duty outside."

We ate in the cafeteria; the cafeteria staff made us New Year's Eve dinner tonight..."

Lin Xiaoyan felt both sweet and conflicted as she listened to her boyfriend's voice.

Finally, she simply asked, "My dad told me that you called him to chat and even sent them things. How come I didn't know that?"

He Qi paused, then smiled and asked, "Did your uncle tell you?"

The two of them knew what this "said" meant.

Lin Xiaoyan was silent for two seconds, then hummed in agreement.

He Qi'an sighed inwardly and explained, "Yan Yan, I didn't mean to force you. It's just that I talked about this with my uncle earlier, which is why I said my family wanted to visit."

Lin Xiaoyan thought of his father's temperament, and he knew that his father might have started it first.

“I know, we were talking about this tonight too.”

"So... what did you say in the end?" He Qi'an asked.

Hearing He Qi'an's anxious tone, Lin Xiaoyan's heart softened.

To outsiders, He Qi'an appears cold and hard, both outwardly and inwardly.

Only in front of her did she see many different sides of He Qi'an, a very vivid and down-to-earth person.

He only reveals himself in front of her.

What did he say at the time?

He said that in the coming decades, she would be the only person closest to him, and in front of her, he would naturally reveal all aspects of himself without reservation.

Finally, he said he hoped she would have the same thoughts.

With this in mind, Lin Xiaoyan made a decision.

"I'll discuss it with my parents later. It's too far from Beijing to my home, so..."

When He Qi'an heard his girlfriend's words, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and a big smile spread across his face.

In the end, no matter what Lin Xiaoyan said, He Qi'an agreed.

Finally, the two talked for nearly two hours before Lin Xiaoyan's phone ran out of battery and she had to hang up.

Just then, firecrackers went off outside, and at the same time, He Qi'an sent a message: "Happy New Year, darling!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaoyan smiled sweetly, her heart and eyes filled with joy.

She replied, "Happy New Year, my dearest boyfriend, mwah~"
