"Are you going to stay in Qixiang until after the New Year?" Dong Senyao and Yu Heng had just finished a meeting and were walking towards their office when Zhang An and Gao Zhiyuan silently followed behind them.

"Around what date will you be back?"

"Let's wait until after the Lantern Festival." His uncle is getting married after the New Year this year, so he will stay in Qixiang City for a few more days.

"Don't you go to your partner's house to pay New Year's greetings?" Dong Senyao asked, somewhat surprised.

Didn't they say that Chu's family wouldn't object to them being together?

"He won't let me go," Yu Heng said with a hint of helplessness. He also wanted to confirm their relationship status as soon as possible.

"President Yu, Vice President Dong, Assistant President Zhang." Dong Senyao was about to make a few sarcastic remarks to Yu Heng when he was interrupted by Li Peibo and the others.

"Okay." Yu Heng and Dong Senyao stopped chatting, nodded to them, and walked directly into the office.

"Wait for me outside for a while," Zhang An instructed them as he passed by.

“Okay,” Li Peibo replied.

Once the four had walked away, Li Peibo and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, then lowered their heads and pretended to be working on the documents in their hands.

"Did they overhear some gossip about President Yu? Who knew such a powerful figure could be manipulated by his girlfriend!"

Upon entering the office, Yu Heng did not see the three siblings and turned to Gao Zhiyuan, asking, "Where are Qingxu and the others?"

"I took Qingxu and Yingying to the snack corner. Should I bring them over?" Gao Zhiyuan asked Yu Heng respectfully.

"No need, let them play there for now." Once Yu Heng knew where Yang Qingxu and the others were, he stopped caring.

Turning to Zhang An and Dong Senyao, he said, "Come and sit down, let's arrange the follow-up matters..."

Gao Zhiyuan, being sensible, went out to make tea for the three of them.

After Yu Heng and Dong Senyao finished their small meeting, they went to the snack corner and took Yang Qingxu and his two siblings out of the company.

We're heading back to Qixiang City tomorrow, so today we need to take them to buy some things to take home, like local specialties or gifts. We don't have much time today.

As they passed by the assistant's office area, Yang Qingyan winked at Chu Anning, signaling that Chu Anning should not forget what she had promised her.

Chu Anning responded with a smile.

.........

"Cheers!" Xu Jing raised his glass of orange juice and stood up to signal everyone to drink together.

Yang Qingxu and Xu Tai each rolled their eyes at him, but everyone still stood up and drank their beverages with smiles on their faces.

Yu Heng has been back with Yang Qingxu and his two siblings for two days. Today is the day that Yu Jiaming's girlfriend, Wen Zhao, and her son will officially come to the house to meet the whole family.

Of course, only Yu Heng and Gao Zhiyuan among those present had never met them before.

Wen Zhao is a very gentle person. Although his face shows some signs of age, it is not hard to tell that he was a pretty and charming person when he was young.

As for her son, perhaps because he had just been discharged from the military, he sat upright and exuded a sense of righteousness.

"Hehe, Ah Heng, this braised pork ribs and radish stewed mutton were both made by your Aunt Wenzhao. Come and try them and see how they taste!" Grandma Yu happily served Yu Heng some food.

Recently, Grandma Yu has become very excited because of her uncle's wedding.

"Hmm~ It's very good!" Yu Heng tasted it and said to Wen Zhao, "Aunt Wen's cooking is just as good as that of a hotel chef. My uncle is in for a treat from now on."

Because they are not officially married yet, Yu Heng still calls Wen Zhao "Auntie".

"I'm glad you like it." Wen Zhao was overjoyed to receive Yu Heng's affirmation.

Everyone else in the Yu family knows her, and Yu Heng hasn't said anything else, which means that her relationship with Yu Jiaming has now been accepted by all members of the Yu family.

She turned to look at Uncle Yu, only to see Yu Jiaming staring at her with a silly grin. With a hint of embarrassment, Wen Zhao gave Yu Jiaming a light glare, then quickly lowered her head to pick up some food.

Xu Tai and Xu Jing from the Xu family came today, so after the meal, they sat down with everyone to discuss the wedding arrangements for Uncle Yu.

According to Yu Jiaming and Wen Zhao, they did not intend to hold a large-scale event.

At this age, I no longer have the youthful ambition for grand gestures. I just want to get married, have a simple wedding banquet, and then live a peaceful and stable life.

Yu Heng respected his uncle's opinion. However, even for a simple banquet, the procedures still needed to be clearly discussed.

After they had finished talking, Wenzhao's son, Duan Wenhe, called Yu Heng out and said he wanted to talk to him privately.

Yu Jiaming watched the two of them walk out the door together, a hint of worry in his eyes.

His stepson is grown up and doesn't need his support anymore, but they are also quite distant. He doesn't know what Ah Heng wants to say when he calls Ah Heng out.

"Uncle, don't worry. Although I'm not very close to Wenhe, I know he's a decent person," Xu Tai said, trying to comfort his uncle, who looked worried.

“Yes, Uncle, we used to live in the same neighborhood. He even helped me out! Maybe he wants to discuss the details of your wedding with Aunt Wen with my cousin!” Xu Jing echoed.

"I...I'm not worried." Although Yu Jiaming used to live in the same neighborhood as Duan Wenhe, he was busy making a living every day and only knew people his own age. He hadn't really paid attention to other people.

This was only the second time he had seen his stepson after his relationship with Wenzhao was finalized.

A short while later, Yu Heng and the others returned.

The group observed the two people's expressions; they seemed alright, not like they had a falling out.

The cold moon hung high like a bright mirror, and the lights outside were already hazy, as if the whole city was shrouded in a soft veil.

"Then we'll head back now." Wen Zhao, carrying the return gift from Grandma Yu, led Duan Wenhe to say goodbye to the Yu family.

"Hey, let Jiaming take you back. It's so cold outside, don't let Wenhe get too cold," Grandma Yu said, holding Wenzhao's hand.

Before Wen Zhao could refuse, Uncle Yu came out with the car keys: "Come on, I'll take you home. It's dark now, and it'll be hard for you to walk."

"Goodbye then!"

"goodbye!"

……

When Yu Heng's uncle returned, he was making tea in the tea room.

Uncle Yu sat down next to him hesitantly, but after several attempts, he still couldn't bring himself to ask.

Seeing that Uncle Yu felt like he had needles under his butt and was itching all over, Yu Heng finally said, "Duan Wenhe didn't tell me anything else, except that he refused the thing you mentioned before about helping him get married."

Thinking of what Duan Wenhe had said to him in the pavilion, Yu Heng couldn't help but say that his uncle was lucky.

Duan Wenhe said he knew about the conditions his mother and Aunt Xu had discussed with Yu Heng, but these were just wishful thinking on the part of the elders.

He didn't have that idea. He can manage his own affairs, and he supports his mother's remarriage.

His mother won't need to worry about his marriage anymore. As long as Uncle Yu and his mother live their lives well, he won't ask for anything else.

"This, this, he really said that?" Uncle Yu was also a little surprised.

He was prepared to work hard with Wen Zhao over the next few years, save some money, and help Duan Wenhe as much as possible in the future.

Of course, he didn't intend for Yu Heng to do anything, but as Duan Wenhe's stepfather, he also considered his affairs as his own responsibility.

However, after learning what his stepson was thinking, he was genuinely relieved. It wasn't that he didn't want to help him anymore, but rather that his stepson was even better than he had imagined, which made him quite happy.
