Chapter 341: Is This a May-December Romance?

Mr. He already said as much, so naturally, no one else dared to say anything more?

The fifth brother of the He family smiled and nudged his third brother with his elbow: "Third Brother, does this count as an ’old bull eating young grass’?"

He Jinxuan glared at his younger brother: "You just have too much to say."

He Yuejin grinned and said, "If our future sister-in-law took the college entrance exam this year, then wouldn’t she be younger than me? I’m just curious."

Mr. He, sitting at the head of the table, had been listening all along, but he didn’t forget to call upon his sons and grandsons: "Come on, dig in."

He Jinxuan served some food into his two nephews’ bowls before asking He Yuejin, "Have you settled your wedding date yet?"

He Yuejin nodded: "Once the house is in order, we’ll set a date, but we’re already preparing the wedding supplies."

At this point, He Yuejin whispered, "Third Brother, you’d better hurry, or my kids will be born before you even get married."

He Jinxuan glanced at He Yuejin: "Look at how smug you are."

Just then, Brother He, He Jiefang, looked over: "Jinxuan, how did your girlfriend do on her exams?"

He Jinxuan shook his head: "Not bad."

Sister He chuckled: "Not bad means she did well. Bring that young lady over, and I’ll cook something delicious for you."

Second Sister-in-law He was a bit annoyed seeing Sister He trying to please: "Sister-in-law, you better not....."

Before she could finish speaking, her husband interrupted her: "Just eat your meal."

He didn’t want his wife to say anything unpleasant and unnecessarily upset their third brother, especially since there might still be a chance for what he had in mind.

He Jinxuan didn’t care what his second brother interrupting his second sister-in-law meant. He had already achieved his goal this time coming back, so he said no more and focused on taking care of his two nephews during the meal.

Early the next morning, He Jinxuan arrived at Xinyan’s courtyard gate.

Xinyan heard the commotion and opened the door: "Why are you here so early?"

He Jinxuan raised the lunchbox in his hand a bit higher: "I thought since you traveled all day yesterday, you must be really tired, so I brought you breakfast."

Xinyan smiled as she turned and walked back inside; "Have Sili and Siyan returned?"

He Jinxuan followed her into the house: "Yeah, they came back late last night. I didn’t want to disturb your rest, so I didn’t come over."

As he spoke, he kept gazing at her: "Yanyan, do you look a bit fairer?"

Upon hearing this, Xinyan touched her face: "Really?"

He Jinxuan set down the lunchbox and cupped her face in his hands: "Really, you do look a lot fairer than yesterday, and your skin..."

He wanted to say how smooth her skin was, but he felt a bit shy.

Xinyan raised her hand to hold his, pressing it against her face: "Is my skin very smooth?"

He Jinxuan’s face flushed, and his heart raced because of Xinyan’s action, whispering a soft ’Mm’ and not daring to look at her face due to his dry mouth and tongue.

Xinyan saw his reaction and thought this tough guy could be so cute, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Only then did He Jinxuan belatedly realize that the little girl did it on purpose, so he pinched her cheek: "Mm, it really is smooth."

As soon as he said that, Xinyan tilted her face up, and his gaze fell right on her bright red lips.

Suddenly recalling that unexpected kiss at the employee hospital, his heart began to race uncontrollably. He could see Yu Xinyan speaking, her mouth opening and closing, but he didn’t catch a single word, his mind filled with thoughts of that kiss. Involuntarily, he leaned down and kissed her.
