Chapter 421: Promise Not to Fight Back
Su Yayan and Huo Chenhuan’s wedding was held on a private island. The two elders were old and weren’t fit enough to take the boat, so they called their son and daughter-in-law to attend on their behalf.
When they returned, they only said that Huo Chenhuan was very happy. The way he looked at his bride was very gentle, like a beast that had lost its claws and fangs. He became harmless and gentle.
The two elders listened to the rumors outside and were worried about their marriage.
Hearing her son and daughter-in-law say that, she was relieved.
Although Huo Chenhuan was not their child, they had watched him grow up.
If he did not truly like her, even if they were forced to be together, Miss Su would not be able to see his good side.
Su Yayan blushed at her subtle praise and felt a little embarrassed.
Huo Chenhuan took the initiative to hold her hand. His eyes were filled with smiles. It was obvious that he agreed with Old Madam Lan’s words.
Old Master Lan saw their small actions and nodded with a smile. “I’m relieved to see you two like this. Old Huo and sister-in-law are watching from heaven. Seeing you like this, they will definitely be happy for you.”
The moment the old master said this, the atmosphere between the few of them turned cold. Old Madam Lan was the first to react. She raised her hand and hit the back of his head. “Why are you talking about this?”
Su Yayan was speechless. Did they start fighting just because of a disagreement?
However, Huo Chenhuan and the Lan family members beside the two elders acted as if they were used to it. They looked as if they had been slapped again.
Elder Lan touched the back of his head that was hurting from the slap and said timidly, “Please spare me some dignity in front of the child.”
Matriarch Lan snorted. “Did you lose your dignity? How can you be so disrespectful in front of your child? Serves you right for being embarrassed.” As she spoke, she tried to tug at Old Master Lan’s ears again, scaring him into hiding.
The younger members of the Lan family saw that their grandfather was in trouble and hurried to persuade him. Su Yayan and Huo Chenhuan were pushed out instead.
Su Yayan blinked in confusion.
Huo Chenhuan laughed. “Uncle Lan was known for treading on eggshells when his wife is around since he was young. He was subdued by Auntie Ye at home and outside. However, they are still really loving.”
After the initial shock, Su Yayan noticed something from the old man’s banter.
Generally speaking, it was impossible for a man to lose to a woman.
Old Master Lan did not look like a particularly skilled person, but Old Master Lan was able to tolerate her beating him without retaliating or retorting. In the end, it was all because of love.
Moreover, if one looked closely, one would realize that although Old Madam Lan was beating him up, she had never hit him hard. Although Old Master Lan wailed, there was not a hint of dissatisfaction or anger in his eyes, only amusement and indulgence.
“Are you envious?”
Su Yayan was startled and instinctively turned to look at Huo Chenhuan.
When she met his smiling gaze, she snorted and threatened, “If you make me angry in the future, I’ll hit you just like she did.”
“Okay, I promise not to fight back.”
Su Yayan frowned and said unhappily, “Shouldn’t you promise not to make me angry?”
Huo Chenhuan, “…” It was a miscalculation on his part!
“Okay, I promise I won’t make you angry then.”
“…That’s more like it.”
The few Lan family juniors who took a few steps forward to stop the fight happened to hear their conversation. “…” This was too much! They just finished eating the old man’s dog food, and now they have to eat theirs.. A single dog has no human rights, do they?
