Yu Zhi seemed to have noticed Xu Hanyuan's gaze, and quickly looked away, explaining somewhat embarrassedly.

"I just thought the title was interesting and it immediately attracted me."

Xu Hanyuan hesitated slightly, feeling a little conflicted.

But in the end, she handed the plan that embodied her countless efforts to Yu Zhi and said, "If you are interested..."

Yu Zhi took the plan and his expression immediately became focused and serious. He carefully read through it page by page.

At this moment, the morning sunlight shone through the clean glass window, like a layer of golden gauze, gently falling on his body.

It gave his profile a soft and charming golden edge.

Xu Hanyuan looked at him quietly. At this moment, she suddenly understood deeply why Meng Yingnian fell in love with this man without reservation.

Yu Zhi not only possesses extraordinary wisdom, quick thinking and unique insights.

More importantly, one can see sincerity and kindness in his eyes, which is a beautiful quality that radiates from the inside out.

"This is a great idea." Yu Zhi closed the plan, his eyes full of admiration, and said sincerely.

"I know a few experts at the Environmental Materials Association who have made significant contributions in this area. If you need them..."

"No need." Xu Hanyuan interrupted him decisively, his tone firm and his eyes revealing stubbornness.

"I want to realize this dream completely on my own, step by step. I want to prove that I have the ability to do this on my own."

After hearing this, Yu Zhi nodded slightly, with an understanding look on his face, and said.

"I understand. Everyone has their own path to follow, and I respect your choice."

He stood up slowly and straightened his sleeves.

"But if you change your mind, feel free to tell me. We're all friends, and I won't refuse to help you if I can."

After seeing Yu Zhi off, Xu Hanyuan stood in front of the window again, following his figure with his eyes, watching him walk further and further away.

Finally disappeared in the bustling crowd downstairs.

At this moment, Xu Hanyuan's cell phone suddenly rang sharply, breaking the brief silence.

She picked up her phone and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xu Hanyuan? I'm from the Environmental Protection Materials Association..." A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

When Xu Hanyuan heard this, he was stunned at first, then he reacted.

She subconsciously clenched her phone, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She knew very well in her heart that it must be Yu Zhi who was silently helping her behind the scenes.

He did not appear in a way to provide direct financial support, but instead cleverly acted as a matchmaker for her.

This gave her the opportunity to access valuable resources in the industry, laying solid foundations for her dream journey.

At this moment, Xu Hanyuan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

She finally understood thoroughly that in the long river of life, some feelings are more meaningful to let go of at the right time than to hold on to them.

It allows people to travel light and embrace new possibilities.

As the wedding date approaches, Yu Zhi and Meng Yingnian also begin to notify relatives and friends.

Of course, the first person to be notified was Mr. Wilson.

But just as Yu Zhi had notified Mr. Wilson, he received a message from Mr. Wilson.

Tell him to get ready, they are going to the capital soon.

At the spacious and bright airport arrival area, people come and go, and the noisy voices and the sound of suitcase wheels rubbing against the ground are intertwined.

Yu Zhi stood there with his posture upright, his eyes fixed on the flight information that kept changing on the display screen.

There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation in his eyes.

There are only two weeks left until the wedding date that Meng Yingnian has carefully set.

He never expected that his grandfather, old man Wilson, would come so impatiently.

This eagerness made Yu Zhi feel both warm and a little uneasy.

"Yu!" A familiar and energetic shout came from behind.

Yu Zhi turned around quickly and saw Andy and Anna pushing a luggage cart and walking towards him briskly.

Andy had his usual bright smile on his face, while Anna's eyes were bright and she looked around curiously.

Although old man Wilson was using a cane, he was in good spirits and followed them slowly.

"What are you doing..." Yu Zhi's face was full of surprise, and the words came out unconsciously.

"The old man couldn't sit still early in the morning and insisted on catching the earliest flight."

Andy explained with a smile, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead due to his hurried journey.

"We couldn't persuade him, so we had to temporarily put aside all the work and come with him."

Old man Wilson walked steadily to Yu Zhi, his eyes sharp as torches, and looked him up and down carefully, his eyes full of concern.

"Thin."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, which was full of traces of time but still strong, and gently pinched Yu Zhi's cheek.

He nodded slightly and added.

"But he looks good. It seems he's living well here."

Yu Zhi smiled helplessly, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone, "Grandpa, I'm almost thirty years old, I'm not a child anymore."

"In my eyes, you will always be a child."

Old Man Wilson said lovingly.

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes inadvertently fell on the shining ring on Yu Zhi's ring finger.

There was a hint of relief in his eyes, "It seems he is serious."

Yu Zhi subconsciously looked down at the ring, which was gleaming softly under the lights of the airport.

It seemed to carry countless beautiful memories between him and Meng Yingnian.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a happy smile, and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, he is very serious, and we both cherish each other."

"That's good."

Old man Wilson patted Yu Zhi's shoulder with satisfaction, his eyes full of expectation.

"Please take us on a nice tour. I've heard there are many interesting and historical places in the capital, and I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

In the next few days, Yu Zhi accompanied his family wholeheartedly, traveling through the streets and alleys of the capital.

Enjoy the unique charm of this ancient city.

They entered the Forbidden City together.

The magnificent palace complex, with its red walls, yellow tiles, carved beams and painted rafters, every detail demonstrates the exquisiteness of ancient architecture.

As an architecture enthusiast, Andy kept expressing admiration along the way.

There was a glint of excitement in his eyes, and he stopped from time to time.

He carefully observed the brackets and eaves, muttering various professional terms, and was full of admiration for the wisdom of the ancients.

Walking into the hutongs is like stepping into another world, filled with the strong atmosphere of old Beijing life.

At the gate of the courtyard, old men and women sat on small stools to bask in the sun and chat.

Children were laughing, playing, chasing and fighting in the alley.

Small shops on the street sell a variety of traditional snacks and handicrafts.

Anna is like a curious baby, interested in everything.

After a while, he walked into a small shop, picked up a paper-cut work and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he went to the stall selling candied haws, looking at the strings of red candied haws wrapped in crystal sugar coating, his mouth watering.

Not like her usual aloof self at all.

On the day of climbing the Great Wall, although Mr. Wilson's legs and feet were not very convenient, his unyielding spirit remained undiminished.

Along the way, he leaned on a crutch and climbed up steadily step by step, each step being firm and powerful.

Yu Zhi and Andy carefully supported him on both sides, while Anna stood by with water and a towel, ready at all times.

Although the climbing process was a bit difficult, Mr. Wilson's eyes remained firm and full of yearning for the unknown scenery.

“It’s spectacular.”

Finally standing on the Great Wall, Mr. Wilson looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, feeling filled with emotion.

"No wonder they say you're not a true man if you haven't been to the Great Wall. This trip was worth it!"

Yu Zhi gently supported the old man and looked into the distance. The mountains under the sunlight looked like a magnificent painting.

He smiled and said, “Grandpa, Ying Nian and I actually plan to take wedding photos here.”

"Here?" Anna opened her eyes wide in surprise, her mouth slightly open.

"How early do we have to get up? The Great Wall is not close to the city."

"Yes." Yu Zhi nodded with a smile, his eyes full of longing.

"So I'll need your help. We might have to leave at three in the morning and arrive here before sunrise so that the photos we take will be more impressive."

"No problem." Andy patted his chest without hesitation, his face full of enthusiasm.

"For your happiness, it's worth getting up earlier and earlier. We will definitely cooperate fully."

As night fell and the lights came on, they came to a time-honored roast duck restaurant in Beijing.

The restaurant was filled with the aroma of roast duck and was bustling with activity. The waiter enthusiastically led them to their seats.

After a while, a plate of bright red and fragrant roast duck was served on the table.

Anna looked at the roast duck on the table, then looked at the chopsticks in her hand, and was eager to learn how to pick up the roast duck with chopsticks.

But the piece of roast duck was like a naughty child, always slipping away from between her chopsticks, making everyone laugh.

Mr. Wilson put down the teacup in his hand, cleared his throat, and asked with concern.

"How are the wedding preparations going? Is everything arranged?"

"Almost done." Yu Zhi replied while pouring tea for everyone.

"The venue chosen is the Summer Palace, which has beautiful scenery and is full of classical charm. We will hold a Chinese-style wedding ceremony there."

"Chinese wedding?" Anna's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.

"Should I wear one of those really beautiful red dresses? I saw it on TV, it was stunning."

"Yes, it's called Fengguanxiapei." Yu Zhi explained patiently, while gesturing the shape of the dress with his hands.

"But we also prepared Western-style dresses, after all..."

He glanced at Mr. Wilson with a hint of worry in his eyes, “Grandpa may not be used to the complicated procedures of a Chinese wedding.”

"I'd really like to see you in a Chinese dress."

Mr. Wilson said with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation, "I think it will be very special, maybe it will make my eyes light up."

Yu Zhi blushed when he heard this, like a shy boy, and lowered his head slightly, "Grandpa..."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Old man Wilson put away his smile and his expression became serious and earnest.

"Since you have chosen this place and that person, our whole family will support you unreservedly."

Yu Zhi's eyes felt slightly hot and tears welled up in them. He blinked hard to prevent the tears from falling.

With a slightly choked voice, he said, "Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you."

"However," Mr. Wilson suddenly changed the subject and his expression became a little serious.

"If he dares to bully you, don't put up with it. Tell Grandpa anytime. I can take you back to Europe at any time. Our family is not one to be bullied."

"Grandpa!" Yu Zhi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, his face full of helplessness.

"Ying Nian... is very good to me. Really, we cherish each other very much, so don't worry."

"That's good." Old man Wilson nodded with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Come, try this roast duck. It tastes really good, and it lives up to its reputation."

Looking at his family members sitting together, laughing and talking happily, Yu Zhi felt an extremely warm feeling in his heart.

He knew very well that this wedding was coming.

All these beautiful moments filled him with infinite expectations for his future life.

It was as if I could already see the long years I had walked hand in hand with Meng Yingnian, and every step was filled with the sunshine of happiness.
