Super Combat Soldier-Chapter 1683 - 1682: Is the Daughter-in-law Approved by the Parents Liu Rumei?
[Blessings to all the brothers and sisters supporting "Super Soldier," happy May Day, and may your whole family be joyful!]
Having not returned for nearly ten years, this was truly a very joyous occasion for Ye Tianchen and his parents and sister. They were all very happy. The reunion meal was filled with happiness. This is a kind of familial affection that nothing can replace, and it made Ye Tianchen feel very fortunate. He secretly vowed in his heart to do his utmost to hold on to this happiness for as long as he could!
However, what Ye Tianchen did not expect was that during casual chats, his father, Ye Hong, mother, Luo Yan, and even his sister, Ye Qianwen, urged him to get married. This was, of course, normal. Ye Tianchen was almost forty, and his parents were getting older, eager to see him married, to see him have children, and to enjoy the happiness of having grandchildren. That was only natural. Considering Ye Tianchen’s age, he should have been married long ago. It was nothing extraordinary!
Yet, the only thing that made Ye Tianchen feel strange was that, from his parents’ words, they seemed to have chosen a bride for him, someone they quite approved of. Even his sister, Ye Qianwen, agreed, which made Ye Tianchen curious about what kind of woman had gained his parents’ and sister’s approval during the nearly ten years he’d been away. It certainly took some skill!
Ye Tianchen knew his parents and sister well and was aware they wouldn’t casually approve of someone, especially a potential daughter-in-law. This was a significant matter, related to his lifelong happiness and the whole Ye family’s future development. They would be very cautious. Yet now, they firmly said they had approved a woman as Ye Tianchen’s bride, something Ye Tianchen did not expect, which amazed and puzzled him. Who was this woman?
Who would’ve thought!
Whilst Ye Tianchen was deep in thought, the dining room’s villa door opened, revealing a face he was very familiar with, a face he had not forgotten even after nearly ten years. It was very beautiful, undeniably beautiful. Even Ye Tianchen had to admit its beauty. Even if this woman’s face were placed among the many beauties and fairies in the Ancient Martial World, it would certainly be considered top-notch.
Liu Rumei, yes, it was Liu Rumei. When Ye Tianchen saw that it was Liu Rumei walking into the dining room villa, he truly felt incredulous, very puzzled, and simultaneously a sense of comfort that he could still meet a familiar face. Although there was indeed some barrier and awkwardness between him and Liu Rumei, the events of the past had been cleared up. They had been victims of someone else’s design, and therefore could not blame each other!
Nonetheless, what truly surprised Ye Tianchen, the thing he absolutely never expected, was that the person entering the dining room would be Liu Rumei. Could it be that the bride his parents and sister approved of so very much was Liu Rumei? At this thought, Ye Tianchen was indeed stunned, truly surprised, and moreover felt it was rather absurd. Liu Rumei being regarded by his parents and sister as his chosen bride, this... was too far-fetched. At that moment, Ye Tianchen’s mind could only think that Liu Rumei was there for something else; she could not possibly be his bride.
"You really came back!" Liu Rumei walked up to Ye Tianchen, looking at his stunned expression, and commented with a smile.
"Oh, hehe, this is my home. Of course, I had to come back!" Ye Tianchen returned to his senses and replied, shrugging his shoulders.
Liu Rumei glanced at Ye Tianchen but said nothing more, instead smiling and speaking to Ye Hong and Luo Yan, "Uncle, Auntie, do you feel better today?"
"Yes, Rumei has come, sit down, sit down!" Ye Hong said with a smile.
"Rumei, sit next to Auntie. You haven’t come over for dinner for days. Auntie misses you!" Luo Yan quickly invited Liu Rumei to sit beside her.
Liu Rumei, without any hesitation, sat down next to Luo Yan, taking chopsticks and serving Luo Yan food, a scene that Ye Tianchen witnessed with his own eyes.
"You... this..." Ye Tianchen found himself speechless, filled with doubt.
It was well-known back then that Ye Tianchen’s peeping at Liu Rumei while she bathed caused a sensation throughout the Capital City. To protect their reputation and Liu Rumei’s honor, the Liu family continuously pressured the Ye family, forcing Ye Tianchen to kneel in the Liu family’s courtyard. Ye Tianchen’s parents also personally apologized in the Liu family’s house, promising to discipline their son better in the future!
After that incident, the Ye family’s reputation was utterly tarnished, causing their already declining status to plummet further, reducing them to a third-class family, subject to ridicule. Clearly, a grudge between the Liu and Ye family was cemented, regardless of who was at fault. Though there was no major conflict, the two families could never coexist peacefully, a fact that everyone knew!
Later, Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei investigated that incident, realizing they were both victims of a setup. It wasn’t anyone’s fault; it was just a misunderstanding. But misunderstandings aside, Ye Tianchen had indeed peeped at Liu Rumei bathing, seen her naked body, an unarguable fact. There was an unavoidable awkwardness between them, making it impossible for them to interact without any resentment.
But now, what made Ye Tianchen feel somewhat devastated, incredulous, and even absurd was that Liu Rumei was considered by his parents and sister to be the best candidate for his wife. Had they forgotten the past? Didn’t they realize that it would be awkward between him and Liu Rumei? How could they even think the two could be together?
During these nearly ten years, what exactly happened? Why had his parents and sister’s view shifted so significantly that they now recognized Liu Rumei? Ye Tianchen knew there must be a story behind this, a story he wasn’t aware of!
"Eat, eat, Tianchen, what are you doing? Serve Rumei some food!" Ye Hong said seriously.
"Huh?" Ye Tianchen was taken aback, unable to process it immediately!
"What do you mean, huh? Hurry and serve Rumei some food. Then you two should chat. You’re both not young anymore. If it’s suitable, make it official!" Luo Yan couldn’t help but smile as she spoke, truly happy within.
"No way? What’s all this about, this..." Ye Tianchen was, of course, difficult to accept. It was just too much.
Not to mention that as soon as he got home, his parents and sister wanted him married. Even if marriage was unavoidable, it would make sense with a stranger. But it happened to be Liu Rumei. True, Liu Rumei was indeed very beautiful. Even Ye Tianchen, who had seen many fairies in the Ancient Martial World, still found Liu Rumei stunningly beautiful. But their feelings were really off, especially since every time he saw Liu Rumei, the scene of seeing her naked body flashed in his mind, a memory he vividly recalled. Her figure was too beautiful, so beautiful it made him breathless at the time, even causing a nosebleed. This was a normal reaction for a person, a man, but now it left Ye Tianchen feeling incredibly awkward!
"Uncle, Auntie, I’m not feeling well. I’ll head down to rest first. Enjoy your meal!" Liu Rumei stood up and said with a smile.
Ye Hong and Luo Yan both smiled, aware that Liu Rumei, being a girl, would feel somewhat embarrassed and shy, so they didn’t insist, allowing her to leave. Ye Tianchen was truly baffled, unsure of what was going on. He’d just come home to be immediately asked about marriage, which was understandable due to his parents’ feelings. But the bride being Liu Rumei was quite a shock, difficult for him to accept. Liu Rumei ... even in his dreams, he never expected to marry Liu Rumei—it was absurd, like something out of a fantasy!
But after Liu Rumei left the dining room villa, seeing his parents and sister so serious and earnest, Ye Tianchen realized they weren’t joking, and they were genuinely considering Liu Rumei as his future bride, hoping he’d marry her. There was certainly a story here, a story unknown to Ye Tianchen!
"Dad, Mom, during these ten years that I wasn’t here, something must have happened, right? Otherwise, you couldn’t possibly hold Liu Rumei in such high regard. Could you tell me about it?" Ye Tianchen asked sincerely, glancing at his parents and sister.
It must be said that the ones Ye Tianchen cared about the most were his parents and sister. They were his closest relatives. While he wouldn’t completely agree with all their opinions, he would consider them. Besides, he was very curious about why Liu Rumei, who the Ye family wouldn’t have ever agreed to even become Ye Tianchen’s partner, was now someone his parents and sister completely approved of, even pressuring him to marry her. This indeed piqued his curiosity, making him eager to know the truth! (To be continued. If you like this story, you are welcome to visit qidian.com and vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
