After Gu Hai promised to help Yan Ya Jing, he went over to inform Gu Wei Ting of the situation the very next day.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Wei Ting beamed with happiness and did not complain about the sudden decision or sought the woman's side to find out about their circumstances. He merely nodded his head repeatedly and gave a simple 'okay'. For some reason, he acted as though his son was not a highly sought out bachelor considered to be 'Mr. Perfect', but rather a loser that was looking for a wife all day long. Regardless of what kind of person the woman was, as long as she was willing to be with him, Gu Wei Ting would gladly accept.

In truth, it has been long time since Gu Hai have seen this kind of smile on Gu Wei Ting's face.

After learning that Bai Luo Yin did not go abroad, but instead enlisted in the military, Gu Hai had wanted to personally question him, however, he later dispelled this idea altogether. His father has truly aged, and this oldness did not display on his external appearance, but rather in his attitude toward his kids. Gu Hai could not remember clearly how long has been since Gu Wei Ting had shouted or berated him. It seems, when your parents ask for your opinions before making a decision, it is proof that they indeed have aged.

On the 26th of the Lunar month, Gu Wei Ting and Jiang Yuan finally met Yan Ya Jing's parents.

In order to give their future-in-laws a good impression, Yan Ya Jing's mother took extra effort to dressed up before leaving the hospital, nevertheless, it was impossible to conceal the morbid condition that rode across her face. Yan Ya Jing's father is a senior official in the government of Shandong Province and has met Gu Wei Ting once. However, since this had occurred a few years ago, neither has any recollection of it.

Soon, the two influential families sat around the table, all wearing an extremely pleased and joyous expression.

Gu Hai was the first to grab Yan Ya Jing's hand before standing up with her. Then he looked at Gu Wei Ting and Jiang Yuan and said, "This is my girlfriend, Yan Ya Jing."

Yan Ya Jing kept her eyes peeled as she called out, "Uncle, auntie, hello."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "How unexpected! Yan Ya Jing is so beautiful."

"Thank you, Auntie," replied Yan Ya Jing, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Seeing his future daughter-in-law for the first time, Gu Wei Ting could not help but said a few courteous words, "My son doesn't have any phenomenal skills or patience and sometimes he can't control his temper. All of which are taken after me. It is inevitable that you two will bump heads here and there once you start living together. When that time comes, I hope that you can tolerate and forgive him—."

Sitting at the side, Mr. Yan interrupted, "Lao Gu, you're being too modest, being able to marry Xiao Hai is our daughter's blessing," he shifted his warm gaze towards Yan Ya Jing before speaking with a rather loving tone, "We only have this one daughter here who has always been spoiled since she was young. Even at this age, she still doesn't know how to cook. Frankly, we'll be content if your family doesn't kick her out."

Hearing those words, even Mrs. Yan started to laugh and nod in agreement.

Yan Ya Jing introduced Gu Hai to her parents again. Gu Hai stood up and respectfully offered Mr. Yan a glass of wine and cheered with him before saying a few simple words to them.
