Chapter 1179: The Person I Want to Protect for a Lifetime

At the Han Family’s old house, Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing were organizing the dowry for their young lady in the room.

Originally, Gu Wanqing wanted to give all the home appliances as a gift, but Xinyan refused. She didn’t want to be too ostentatious and preferred to purchase things gradually as needed. She didn’t want to become the topic of others’ idle talk.

However, they still prepared a refrigerator and a washing machine. After all, the other place already had small items like bicycles, watches, radios, and sewing machines, so there was no need to prepare duplicates.

Gu Wanqing initially wanted to prepare a television for her, but Xinyan objected no matter what.

Televisions were still a novelty, and she didn’t want the house to be crowded with people every day, fearing it would cause a lot of trouble.

If people came over just to see the novelty, how could you turn them away?

When they came in, the couple had almost finished checking everything.

Han Jingchen smiled at his daughter, "So, is there anything that needs changing?"

Xinyan waved her hand, "Everything is great, I really like it."

After speaking, she looked up at He Jinxuan beside her.

Jinxuan’s eyes were filled with tenderness, his face full of doting affection.

Seeing this made Han Jingchen’s teeth ache.

His precious young lady, whom he hadn’t yet had enough time to pamper, was getting married, and his heart felt sour like he’d eaten a lemon, instantly making He Jinxuan an eyesore.

When Gu Wanqing looked up and saw this scene, she couldn’t help but shake her head and smile silently, then called out to her daughter, "Yanyan, come over and see if there’s anything missing."

Xinyan looked at the six quilts on the bed, "Mom, isn’t this too many quilts?"

Gu Wanqing raised her hand to touch the back of the silk quilts, "Not too many, four thick, and two thin. Besides, look at the bright colors of this silk, it’s so festive when laid out."

Xinyan shrugged: Fine, as long as you’re happy.

She couldn’t very well say: In a few years, these quilts will be unnecessary.

These were the heartfelt gifts from her parents, so she accepted them graciously.

After seeing the items behind the quilts, Xinyan couldn’t help but laugh, "Mom, are you preparing quilts for me to use for a lifetime?"

Behind the silk quilts were two silk-filled quilts, two towel quilts, and two jacquard blankets.

Xinyan didn’t know what to say, "Mom, you’ve really prepared everything."

If it weren’t for Xinyan’s opposition, Gu Wanqing would have prepared more and better items, but her daughter repeatedly said she didn’t want to stand out, so she had to reduce the quantity again and again.

For the furniture, He Jinxuan had it all custom-made according to Xinyan’s preferences, without any interference from them, so they prepared the other items.

After Han Jingchen called He Jinxuan out, Gu Wanqing took out two bankbooks and handed them to Xinyan, "Keep these and don’t let anyone know. One is from your grandparents, and the other is from us."

Xinyan looked at the bankbooks in her hands, "Mom, hadn’t you already given me quite a bit of property before? Why give so much more?"

Gu Wanqing patted Xinyan’s hand, "There’s no need for so many questions. Just take it. Whatever your brother has, you will have too."

Thinking of her daughter soon getting married, she choked up slightly, "You went through so much hardship over the years, and now Mom just wants to give you the best."

Xinyan understood Gu Wanqing’s feelings and reached out to hug her, "Mom, I’m doing really well now. Don’t keep remembering the past. Let’s look forward."

Gu Wanqing’s eyes reddened, "Alright, let’s look forward."

After speaking, she wiped her eyes, "Look at me, how useless I am."

Xinyan naturally understood her feelings, "Mom, it’s just marriage, I will always be with you."

When Han Jingchen and He Jinxuan came in after talking, they saw the mother and daughter embracing.

Neither of them spoke to interrupt, just stood there watching.

After a while, He Jinxuan looked at Han Jingchen and said, "Rest assured, in the future, Yanyan will always come first. I won’t let her suffer a bit and will take good care of her.

Of course, actions speak louder than words, so please watch what I do."

Han Jingchen nodded to him, then looked at his wife and daughter, speaking softly, "They are my life, so you’d better remember what you said.

We owe Yanyan a lot, so in the future, we don’t want her to suffer at all."

He Jinxuan gazed at Xinyan, "She is also the love of my life, someone I want to protect forever."

At this moment, the aunt came from the front yard, curiously asking, "What are you two standing here for?"

After speaking, she saw the mother and daughter embracing inside, and realized she had disrupted a beautiful moment.

A bit embarrassed, she said, "Yanyan, there’s a phone call for you."

Xinyan looked at the people outside and stuck out her tongue, "Aunt, who is it?"
