Song Yan examined the Yan residence when she entered the house, it was quite similar in layout to the one that was allocated to Fu Shu Chang, the only difference was that it was a bit bigger. It seemed to have four extra rooms along with an additional kitchen on the second floor and a bathroom.
And because Old madam Yan was in charge of the house instead of her husband and three sons, the house was decorated in warm colours with a lot of matching rugs and curtains, giving a subtle warmth as they walked into the living room, unlike Fu Shu Chang's house that was a bit too empty.
Old madam Yan invited Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng warmly inside and then asked them to sit down before asking the nanny to go and brew some tea and prepare some snacks with it for the three of them, of course, she did not forget Fu Chen for whom she asked the nanny to prepare some warm chocolate milk and cheese sandwiches.
She looked at Song Yan and then patted Fu Yu Sheng on the back of his hand and said, " You really are lucky, you brat, for you to snag such a beautiful wife and have such a pretty child. She is even prettier than she was when she was younger, this is what I call ageing like fine wine and even you look like you are ten years younger. This is what happens when you marry a completely non-problematic! Just look at Old master Chen, he is younger than your grandfather and yet because of his wife, he looks like he is the older one."
" When little Guo told me that his sister-in-law has gotten even prettier I was a bit sceptical at first but now I know what he meant!"
Just as Old madam Yan was speaking with them, another voice joined in from behind, " Old woman who did you catch to feast on their poor brains this evening?"
Old master Yan was back, with him he brought some freshly caught fish and when he saw Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng, a fatherly smile bloomed on his face as he tottered a bit hurriedly on his cane towards them. "Yu Sheng, my boy, you are here … I was thinking about you and your grandfather just now, I sent little Guo to call you and your family for lunch but he came saying you were not there."
As he walked inside, his gaze fell on Fu Chen and immediately Old Master Yan's smile became even more widespread. " Awe, would you look at this little Qian? This little bean who used to cry in my arms has gotten so big."
When they were young Old master Yan and Madam Yan would come to see Fu Chen every once and then but then they got even elder and they could no longer ride a car for ten hours.
" How are you, grandpa Yan?" Fu Yu Sheng stood up from his seat and then helped him sit down on the couch.
" I am fine, as you can see, the same old bones and the same old skin," Old Master Yan replied to him with a wave of his hand as he turned his attention to Fu Chen and waved at him to come closer with his hand. " Come here, come to grandpa."
Fu Chen looked at his mother who nodded in agreement, allowing him to go close to Old master Yan who brought him onto his lap and took out a few chocolates and candies from his pocket. " I brought some toys for you this morning, I thought I will hand them to you in the afternoon but then that silly grandpa of yours went ahead and took you to the Chen house. Would you like to come with grandpa Yan and see what I have brought for you?"
Old master Yan was old and truly wanted to have a grandchild but curse his three stupid sons, they were all brawn and had no brain. Even though they were so tall and strong to the point where they are treated as brutes without their uniform they still could not get a girlfriend much less get a grandchild for him.
He treated his good friend's grandchild as his own but the two of them stayed ten hours apart from each other making it impossible for him to spend time with Fu Chen.
" You shouldn't have…"
"You are going to spoil Chen Chen rotten, grandpa Yan."
Both Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng were touched when they saw Grandpa Yan treating Fu Chen so well but they still thought that it was too much for the old man to go around and buy gifts for their son.
" Nonsense! Little Chen came to his great-grandpa Yan after so long, how can I not treat him well?" he waved his hand with some annoyance before getting up from the couch, even though Fu Chen wanted to get down from his arms since the grandfather who was holding was too old but the latter did not let him down instead he said, " Stay put, your great grandpa Yan used to fight enemies with a single hand when he was young, I can still carry you without breaking a sweat."
As soon as he walked inside his room, Old madam Yan turned to look at Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng and smiled a bit awkwardly, " Sorry about that, he yearns for a grandchild so much but those sons of ours…." She trailed off with a disappointed sigh. " Honestly, the only thing that my son has done good was to engage Fu Chen from the start, I am telling you if my granddaughter refuses to get married like her father, I would seriously go crazy."
Song Yan: "..."
Fu Yu Sheng: "...."
So, it was too late for takebacks?
If anyone could see the husband and wife at the moment they would have seen just how troubled they looked for the first time, after all, Fu Yu Sheng did not bat an eye when he was facing bankruptcy and Song Yan did not flinch when facing demons but now the two of them were staring at old madam Yan with an expression of complete helplessness.
