Chapter 942 - 961: An Nan Decides to Let Go
Lan Yiqing was finally convinced: "Alright then, as long as you like it, let’s go with this one."
Then she took the jade pendant and said to the clerk: "Just this one, check out."
An Jiayou continued to object: "Grandma, I’ll wear it directly!"
Lan Yiqing looked at him with delight: "Okay, let me do it!"
An Nan, not far away, was silently watching this interaction between grandmother and grandson, feeling suddenly warm inside, while also coming to terms with some things.
In the past ten plus years of her life, she had only her brother and Mom and Dad. However, after so many years, many things have changed. Just like her, there are now many other people in her life, so how can one ask that person to remain unchanged and always stay in the same place?
So let it be.
She has her life, and Brother has his own life now.
No matter what he chooses in the future, she won’t interfere or oppose because it’s his own life, and he should be accountable for his own choices.
When the three of them left the jade shop again, there was no trace of a disappointed expression on An Nan’s face. The calmness on her face seemed like nothing had happened, which also instantly relieved Lan Yiqing, as a mother-in-law, quite a bit.
Although she doesn’t expect her to immediately let go now, starting to gradually let go is also a positive sign.
And she is convinced that her excellent daughter-in-law will soon overcome this, she patiently awaits that day to come.
This hot pot restaurant, Lan Yiqing is a regular here. Although the man at home doesn’t like her eating such things and opposes it every time, each time she manages to make him yield, and ultimately, that man accompanies her here, though he doesn’t eat, just prepares things for her to eat, and she finds this feeling very good.
But this time the roles are reversed, Lan Yiqing ends up eating less, continuously bringing prepared food to An Nan and An Jiayou’s bowls.
At the same time, she keeps urging: "I often come here to eat, you haven’t been here before. The hot pot tastes pretty good, eat more, eat more."
An Nan is completely immersed in the deliciousness of the hot pot, wishing she could devour everything in the pot, so she has hardly any time to pay attention to anyone else’s words, just keeps nodding continuously and shoving things into her mouth.
Beside her, An Jiayou eats far less, often following suit with his own grandma, picking things from the pot and putting them into An Nan’s bowl to keep her from running out of food.
Only when An Nan had her fill did she realize: "Mom, Jiayou, why aren’t you eating? It seems I’ve almost eaten everything by myself."
It was at that moment she became suddenly aware of just how much she had eaten earlier. Shocked, she lowered her head and looked at her round belly, wondering why it felt bigger again.
Lately, her belly seemed to change daily, and many nights, she struggled to sleep because of its size. Yet she hadn’t let the man notice any of this; he was so busy with work all day and still recovering his arm, she didn’t want him to worry too much about her.
