Du Huiru thought she must have misheard. This brat had secretly registered their marriage behind her back, and it infuriated her so much that she jumped up from the sofa, forgetting all about her image as a refined lady.
Pointing at Ye Ya, she yelled, "What kind of drug did you give my son? I tell you, I will never acknowledge you. Get out of here right now!"
"Mom, it's me who wants to marry her. If you're angry, take it out on me," Lu Tianyang said, holding Ye Ya's hand. At that moment, Chen Chen seemed to have heard the commotion and suddenly burst into tears.
Ye Ya quickly picked up the child. "Chen Chen, don’t cry."
"Mom, since you can't accept her, then we won't come back. Honey, let's go," Lu Tianyang said, looking at Chen Chen crying so pitifully. He hadn’t brought Ye Ya home to let her suffer.
Now they really were leaving. Lu Old Man couldn't help but sigh. "Aren't you just driving the child away? Look at how scared Chen Chen is. Sigh..."
"Dad, I..." Du Huiru wanted to explain, but the old man was already done listening to her. The room fell silent all of a sudden. Furious, Du Huiru went straight back to her room. How could she show off such a daughter-in-law to others?
In the car, Ye Ya comforted Chen Chen for quite a while before the little one finally stopped crying. Once she had milk to drink, she was finally willing to sleep.
Seeing Lu Tianyang's grim face made Ye Ya smile a little. She reached out and tugged at his sleeve. "What’s wrong? Your mom is just angry right now. We knew they would be upset when we secretly registered our marriage; didn’t we prepare ourselves for this? I'm not angry, so why are you?"
Ye Ya was different; having grown up in the Ye Family, she had endured countless cold glares from Zhao Meiqin and had built up quite a bit of immunity.
"Dear, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged," Lu Tianyang said apologetically. He feared his parents would be even angrier now; he really shouldn’t have rushed to bring her home at this time.
"Honey, I'm fine. Let’s go home."
Ye Ya's generosity touched Lu Tianyang deeply. He reached out and gently stroked her head. "Thank you, my love."
When they returned to Yiju Mountain Villa, it was already dark. Guo Ma looked at them and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, weren't you supposed to have dinner at the old residence?"
"No, Guo Ma. Please prepare more dishes that Lady likes," Lu Tianyang instructed with one hand while Ye Ya handed the child over to the Postpartum Doula and shot a glare at Lu Tianyang.
"You’re currently unemployed; you need to be frugal. Yet you keep thinking about having good food—what a waste! Guo Ma, let me cook tonight." Ye Ya had hardly ever cooked since being here.
"Dear, don't worry. Even if I'm not in the Lu Family, I can definitely support you and the child," Lu Tianyang disagreed this time, directly pulling Ye Ya upstairs. Ye Ya had no idea what he was planning.
"Hey, what's going on?" Ye Ya noticed that sometimes Lu Tianyang acted like a big boy, immature and playful.
Lu Tianyang flipped through something and then pulled out a gold card for her. "Wife, this is money I earned before; I’ve never spent it. Keep it safe for me."
Ye Ya looked at the bank card and couldn't help but smile. "Silly, I was just joking with you. Besides, even if you really don’t have a job, it’s fine. Moya Fashion Store is starting to make money now."
"I don’t want you to work so hard," Lu Tianyang worried that his image in her eyes was diminishing. As a man, earning money to support the family was only natural.
"I know you're good to me. Besides, we’re at home now, right? Lu Tianyang, can’t you fulfill some of your own life goals? You promised me that before we got married." Ye Ya almost pulled out their Prenuptial Agreement.
"Alright, just don’t overexert yourself. Leave the money-making to me," Lu Tianyang felt fortunate to have such a wife.
Life continued peacefully like this. For the past half month, Ye Ya and Lu Tianyang lived like an ordinary couple. Lu Tianyang had previously partnered with Qiao Fan on a software project, but since returning to the Lu Family, he had put that on hold.
However, in the Lu Family, Old Man Lu was constantly thinking about Chen Chen. Lu Tianyang hadn’t returned home for half a month now, which made Du Huiru increasingly anxious.
"Honey, do you think our son will never come back?" She only had one son, and her heart was racing with worry.
“Stupid boy, if he doesn’t want to come back, then let’s just pretend he doesn’t exist as my son.” Lu Jianming had been overwhelmed with company matters lately, and he had to admit that his son was far more capable in managing the business than he was.
“What do you mean pretend he doesn’t exist? Do you think you only have one son? You can’t say things like that. Go call him back.” Du Huiru was tired of hearing her husband lament about their great-granddaughter, as if it were her fault that he couldn’t see her. Did she ever say she didn’t want to see her granddaughter? She just didn’t want to see Ye Ya.
“That brat acts on his own. Did he ever ask for our opinion?” The more Lu Jianming thought about it, the angrier he became. He had raised a good-for-nothing son.
“How could he not ask? Didn’t you disagree? Look at Dad, he’s always talking about Chen Chen. Even I’m starting to resent it.” Du Huiru was truly exasperated; this daughter-in-law she didn’t want to acknowledge was being forced upon her. But don’t think that entering the Lu family would be so easy.
“Sigh, that brat is just waiting for us to find him; he thinks we’re at his mercy.” It was infuriating that it was his own son. Lu Jianming felt like he was being played. Now, all his father did was complain about how he couldn’t even see his grandson and great-grandson.
The more Lu Jianming thought about it, the angrier he got. He slammed his hand on the table. “Fine, let that brat bring Ye Ya and the child back.” What should have been a simple statement came out with sparks flying.
“If he comes back, I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson. And as for Ye Ya, don’t think that just because she had a child, being the Young Mistress of the Lu family is an easy job.” Du Huiru gritted her teeth in anger, especially towards Ye Ya. If she didn’t show her some consequences, she really wouldn’t know how high the sky was.
That evening, Lu Tianyang received a call from Lu Old Man. His lips involuntarily curled into a smile. “Grandpa, is there good news?”
“You little rascal! You treat your grandpa like a pawn. Your parents have agreed for you to come back; discuss the wedding properly and don’t make them angry again.” If Lu Tianyang were in front of him right now, Lu Old Man would really want to hit him with his cane for being as stubborn as a mule—just like himself in his younger days.
“Grandpa, you’re the one who loves me the most! I’ll bring Xiao Ya back tomorrow.” Finally, Lu Tianyang felt relieved. He had anticipated that his parents were just angry at the moment; they wouldn’t really cut ties with their only son—it was just a matter of time before they accepted it.
Ye Ya had just finished a call with Tao Momo and hadn’t even stepped out of the room when she heard Lu Tianyang’s cheerful voice.
“Wife, I have good news for you! Guess what?” Lu Tianyang excitedly grabbed her hand. Ye Ya raised an eyebrow; there was only one thing that could make him this happy. “Could it be that your parents agreed to our relationship?”
Lu Tianyang lifted her off the ground and kissed her cheek. “Wife, you’re so smart! Now I can finally marry you openly and let everyone know.”
“Hmm, Lu Tianyang, I will also work hard to make your parents like me.” This way, you won’t have to feel so awkward in the middle. Ye Ya felt happy inside, knowing that Chen Chen could grow up in a healthy family environment.
“Well, dear, regarding the Ye Family, who do you plan to inform? If you don’t want to notify anyone, that’s fine too.” Lu Tianyang understood her situation in the Ye Family. Even if there was no one from her side, it wouldn’t affect her at all. He wanted everyone to know that no matter what kind of person Ye Ya was, she was the woman he, Lu Tianyang, had chosen.
Ye Ya thought for a moment. Zhao Meiqin and Ye Qi probably wouldn’t be interested in her marriage. As for her grandfather, she couldn’t guess his thoughts.
Seeing Ye Ya’s troubled expression, Lu Tianyang held her tightly. “Dear, no one dares to look down on you. If you don’t want to inform them, it really doesn’t matter. As for the wedding, you can have it however you like.”
Ye Ya wrapped her arms around his waist and listened to his heartbeat. “Then please inform Dad and Ye Bo. I don’t know if Grandpa will come; at least Xiao Ma, I think they wouldn’t want to come.”
Lu Tianyang gently rubbed her hair. “Then let’s go back to the old house tomorrow, and I’ll accompany you back to the Ye Family. Is that okay? With me around, no one will dare bully you.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” With him by her side, she truly didn’t need to worry; besides, she wasn’t someone who could easily be bullied.
After a while, Ye Ya still called Ye Tao to tell him that she would be returning with Lu Tianyang tomorrow. Upon hearing the news of Ye Ya’s marriage, Ye Tao was both surprised and delighted, assuring her that she could come back without worry.
Zhao Meiqin walked into the room and saw Ye Tao’s surprised expression. “Who is getting married that has you so happy?”
“Xiao Ya is marrying Lu Tianyang! They are coming back tomorrow. By the way, don’t show a long face to Xiao Ya tomorrow.” Ye Tao still felt uneasy about what happened last time; he wouldn’t allow anything like that to happen again.
“What? Ye Ya is really marrying Lu Tianyang?” Zhao Meiqin had an incredulous expression on her face; she couldn’t imagine that the girl who seemed so ordinary had truly transformed into a phoenix.
Ye Qi became particularly sensitive upon hearing Lu Tianyang’s name. However, when she heard that Lu Tianyang was really marrying Ye Ya, she felt unwilling to accept it. The last time she went to the Lu Family ended in disappointment; all of this was thanks to Ye Ya.
“Dad, did you hear wrong? Is this news true? I can’t believe it! How could Ye Ya possibly marry Lu Tianyang? With her background, does she even match him?” Ye Qi couldn’t believe it; how could she lose to Ye Ya?
“This matter was personally told by Ye Ya. She has always been steady; how could she joke about something like this? I don’t care how much you dislike her; tomorrow you are not allowed to make things difficult for Ye Ya.” After saying this, Ye Tao left the room and headed toward the study.
Ye Ya has finally gotten married. Zhou Yi must be feeling happy in the afterlife.
"Mom, I don't believe it! Why does Ye Ya get to marry Lu Tianyang? What makes her better than me?" She hated Ye Ya with a passion, always stealing her spotlight, and now even competing for men.
"Qi Qi, don't cry. It's okay. We'll find you a man even better than Lu Tianyang," Zhao Meiqin said, feeling even more resentment towards that little brat. If Ye Ya hadn't entered the Ye Family back then, their family wouldn't have ended up in such a mess.
At Yiju Mountain Villa, Ye Ya sneezed several times in a row. Lu Tianyang asked nervously, "Are you coming down with a cold?"
"No, it's just that someone might be feeling jealous," Ye Ya replied, closing her laptop. Thinking about tomorrow felt like preparing for battle; she needed to rest well to be ready.
Lu Tianyang nodded and immediately came over, wrapping his arms around Ye Ya as soon as he got into bed.
"Stop messing around. We have to go back to your family tomorrow. Behave yourself and get some sleep."
