Chapter 087

“Wh-what? Greet mo-mother-in-law?” Yu Shu stuttered, “Yan Jin, is A-Auntie outside now?”

“My mom is about to take out the key to enter the house.” Yan Jin pointed to the window, at the blue-clothed woman who was about to take the key out of her bag, “Look, my mother, your mother-in-law.”

“This is my first time meeting Auntie, what should I say?” Yu Shu visibly became flustered and paced back and forth in the room, mumbling, “There are no suitable gifts at home for elders. It’s too bad to visit empty-handed.”

This was the first time Yan Jin saw Yu Shu so flustered. She hurriedly comforted him, “Yuan Yuan, don’t be nervous, it’s just going to say hello.”

“I-I’m not nervous at all!” Yu Shu said, “I’m very calm. I’m just thinking about what gift would be more appropriate.”

Yuan Yuan was even incoherent. How could this be called not nervous?

[I seem to have seen my husband looking like this before his first visit. He was also anxiously circling around like Yu Shu.] [But to be honest, although Yan Jin likes Yu Shu, most parents wouldn’t want their daughter to find a partner who is so young, right?] [Well, I’d say it’s okay for them to date, but it’s a bit hasty to get married. Men should be a bit older to know how to cherish someone.]

…

[Some people like to find a father figure as a partner. Just go find one yourself. Why meddle in other people’s choice of partner?] [If one is psychologically immature, even if they live to be a hundred years old, they are still an unweaned baby.]

Yu Shu also thought of this issue and asked Yan Jin uneasily, “Yan Jin, will Auntie think I’m too young to take good care of you?”

“She can think whatever she wants.” Yan Jin’s tone was flat, “I’m just informing her, not discussing with her.”

“I make my own decisions.” Yan Jin soothingly pinched Yu Shu’s earlobe, “Whether she likes it or not doesn’t affect my decision.”

Even Yu Shu, who was very familiar with Yan Jin’s personality, couldn’t help but sigh, “When we meet Auntie later, Yan Jin, you must not say such things.”

Otherwise, his future mother-in-law’s impression of him would definitely be very bad.

Before they were even married, the daughter kept speaking up for him.

What would happen after they got married?

Yu Shu suddenly felt that his and Yan Jin’s current configuration was particularly like a son and daughter-in-law who got married and forgot about the mother.

“Why can’t I say that?” Yan Jin didn’t understand, “This way, my mom knows my attitude and won’t keep nagging. It saves time, effort and worry. Isn’t that great?”

“You can’t say it directly.” Yu Shu sighed again, “When speaking to elders, you have to be more tactful.”

Yan Jin also sighed, “Yuan Yuan, you don’t need to think too much. My mom won’t dislike you.”

After all, the Empress Dowager in her family dreamed of having such a well-behaved and considerate child like Yu Shu.

Yu Shu felt that if he really listened to Yan Jin and didn’t think too much, it would be over.

Yu Shu somewhat regretted not accompanying his mother more to watch some cliché mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas. That way, he would have experience interacting with his mother-in-law later.

“This girl Yan Jin, she’s still so stubborn.” Even Madam Yan laughed in anger, “Ever since she was young, once she decides on something, even eight oxen can’t pull her back. She made a decision, how dare I say anything?”

“Think positively. Now Yan Jin has Yuan Yuan by her side who can help persuade her a bit and smooth things over.” Master Yan comforted her, “Although Yan Jin is stubborn, at least she listens to Yuan Yuan to some extent.”

“You’re right. Now that Yan Jin has Yuan Yuan by her side, her temper can improve a bit.” Madam Yan said, “It won’t be like before when we quarreled and Yan Jin could immediately go to the research institute and stay there for ten days to half a month. She would wait until my anger subsided before pretending nothing happened and coming home.”

Originally, Yu Shu was very nervous, but seeing how unreliable Yan Jin was, all his nervousness was thrown to Java.

“If I secretly pinch your palm later, Yan Jin, you must not say anything.”

Before going out, Yu Shu was not at ease about Yan Jin and repeatedly advised, “Don’t be anxious, speak well, and everything can be resolved.”

“Don’t worry. If she doesn’t like you, I’ll steal the household registration book.” Seeing Yu Shu looking like a serious butler, Yan Jin tried hard to hold back her laughter, “We’ll secretly get the marriage certificate.”

“No way!” Yu Shu looked even more serious, “If Auntie doesn’t approve of me, it means I haven’t done well enough. I will work harder to gain Auntie’s approval.”

“As for stealing the household registration book to get the marriage certificate, you’re not allowed to mention a word of it later, Yan Jin. If Auntie thinks I instigated it, her impression of me will hit rock bottom.”

“It’s not that serious.” Yan Jin shook her head slightly, “Before transmigrating, I argued with my mom quite often, and nothing much happened in the end.”
