"His na is Qin Yu..."
Yan Mingyu's voice carried a hint of helplessness, but she still gently tugged at Qin Yu's arm, "Call him big brother, sister-in-law..."
"Ah? I..."
Qin Yu was a bit out of his elent.
However, the couple interpreted it as Qin Yu being shy because it was their first eting. They actively smoothed things over, "Mingyu, your brother-in-law is eting us for the first ti; he's not familiar yet. After we eat, let's take grandma out for a stroll. I've heard you've been married for a year now, and grandma has been talking about it for a year!"
"Mm!"
Yan Mingyu nodded.
Guided by the couple, they got onto a rcedes-Benz RV parked by the roadside.
From their conversation, Qin Yu ca to understand that the man's na was Tang Chunjin, a quite famous businessman in S City.
However, Yan Mingyu's close relationship with him didn't stem from business dealings but from living with the Tang Family since she was three years old, cared for by Tang Chunjin's grandmother, until she was about ten before she returned to her own family.
During those years in between, the Yan Family went through its most turbulent tis.
The Yan Family had no choice but to entrust their granddaughter to Grandma Tang's care.
Therefore, in the subsequent decade or so, Yan Mingyu always addressed Tang Chunjin as big brother and his grandmother as Grandma Tang.
It was just that since returning to the country this month, she had been so busy she hardly touched the ground. Only today did she find ti to visit Grandma Tang in S City.
As for why Qin Yu was referred to as her "husband," it's quite simple.
A year ago, when she just got married, Grandma Tang was aware of it. It was just that Yan Mingyu left for overseas on that very afternoon to handle branch company matters and was gone for an entire year.
Last night, Grandma Tang called Yan Mingyu, inquiring about the grandson-in-law, so she had to say she would bring him over today for the old lady to see.
It's about a ninety-year-old person, after all. She was afraid that the old lady would worry if she knew that she had already divorced her "husband."
Before long.
The rcedes-Benz RV stopped at the entrance of a manor in the suburbs.
Elderly people like tranquility, and Grandma Tang was no exception.
"Big brother, you and sister-in-law go ahead in. I need to say a few words to Qin Yu."
After getting out of the car, Yan Mingyu spoke to Tang Chunjin.
"Hehe, then your sister-in-law and I will go in and inform Grandma!"
Tang Chunjin said with a slight smile, then holding his wife's hand, he walked into the manor.
"That... Qin Yu..."
Yan Mingyu bit her pearly teeth, showing an apologetic expression, "I didn't sleep well last night, fell asleep on the plane, and forgot to ntion that you need to pretend to be my husband for a bit."
At the ti, upon receiving the phone call from Grandma Tang, she was truly conflicted.
She didn't know whether to tell Grandma Tang the truth or find a man to impersonate her husband briefly. In the end, she could only procrastinate by saying her husband wasn't around and that she would call back Grandma Tang the following morning.
Because of this, Yan Mingyu didn't sleep well all night and ultimately decided to have Qin Yu temporarily play the part.
"Oh."
Qin Yu's reaction was quite calm.
His heart had just been broken by Su ng last night, and he seed to have lost all interest in won, especially beautiful ones.
If it had been before, he would have been thrilled to pretend to be this beautiful boss's husband.
Having a wife as gorgeous as a fairy and worth billions, even if it was pretend, would be sothing to boast about for a lifeti for soone like him, who was considered lowly.
"Well... don't blow your cover. Take this, later on, say it's a gift for grandma."
Yan Mingyu took a beautifully wrapped box out of her bag and handed it to Qin Yu.
She was slightly frustrated inside. How beautiful was this guy's woman, that he could be so unenthusiastic upon hearing he could pretend to be her husband?
"Let's go in!"
Yan Mingyu said and sowhat awkwardly latched onto Qin Yu's arm.
After all, they were a couple that hadn't been together for a year; the joy of reunion after a brief separation should surpass the honeymoon phase, so acting too estranged would definitely make Grandma Tang suspicious.
Now that it had co to this, the only option was to play the part thoroughly.
"President Yan?"
Qin Yu's body stiffened slightly, and far from feeling any joy, he even felt a trace of fear.
He feared that he would gradually succumb, in his interactions with Yan Mingyu.
And fall once more into the bottomless abyss of emotions.
Because, a rational voice inside his head kept telling him: Even Li Lu and Su ng didn't fancy you, would Yan Mingyu fancy you? Stop dreaming about a toad lusting after a swan's flesh!
"What's wrong? Is pretending to be my husband that difficult for you?"
Yan Mingyu was getting a little angry. It's not like this guy had never embraced another woman, and when she just took his arm, his body actually resisted?
Am I really that bad?
"No, Madam Yan... uh. Rest assured, I'll cooperate well!"
Qin Yu didn't know how to explain and let out a light sigh, forcibly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart before he walked into the manor with Yan Mingyu.
"Mingyu... Mingyu..."
As soon as they entered the courtyard, a slim figure with sprightly steps ran out.
"Grandma, slow down!"
Tang Chunjin and his wife followed behind, both worried and amused as they chased after her.
"Grandma Tang!"
Yan Mingyu called out affectionately, hastily jogging a few steps to support the elderly woman who had raised her for seven whole years.
"Mingyu, you've beco more and more beautiful!"
Grandma Tang extended her wrinkled hand, gently touching Yan Mingyu's face: "Right, where's my grandson-in-law?"
"Grandma, I'm here!"
Clearly, Grandma Tang's eyesight wasn't very good, and she had to use her hands to feel around.
"Co here, grandson-in-law, let Grandma have a look at you!"
Grandma Tang turned her head toward Qin Yu's direction, stretching out her hand excitedly.
"Grandma!"
Qin Yu walked over.
But he was too tall, more than ten centiters taller than Yan Mingyu, so he had to crouch down for Grandma Tang to touch his resolute face.
"Not bad, not bad. Just as Mingyu's grandfather described, a handso young man indeed!"
Grandma Tang said with satisfaction brimming in her voice.
"Grandma, this is... the gift Mingyu and I bought for you!"
Qin Yu, who wasn't accustod to lying, held out the box from Yan Mingyu to Grandma Tang, claiming they had bought it together.
"Grandma Tang, let put it on for you!"
Yan Mingyu took the box from Qin Yu's hands, opened it, and inside was a lustrous green bracelet.
Under the sunlight, it sparkled brilliantly, clearly very valuable.
"Ah, Mingyu, you've bought enough things over the years, and now you've gone and spent more money!"
Grandma Tang gently patted Yan Mingyu's hand as she spoke.
"Grandma Tang, it's just a small token of my affection."
Yan Mingyu said softly.
"Good, good... Chunjin, is the al ready? Mingyu and our grandson-in-law have been on a plane for so long, they must be hungry!"
Grandma Tang called out to her grandson again.
"Grandma, I'm here. I told the kitchen to start preparing this morning..."
Tang Chunjin said smilingly as he walked over and helped his grandmother.
"Mingyu, grandson-in-law, co on, try our Suzhou cuisine. Today you absolutely must not leave, you have to stay overnight, hear ?"
Grandma Tang said with feigned sternness.
"Alright, Grandma Tang, we won't leave!"
Yan Mingyu also supported Grandma Tang, glanced briefly at Qin Yu, and then they all walked into the hall together.
