Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

Chapter 371 Home

In the car when Han Nanxian was driving back, Song Xueyun turned to him and asked the question that had been troubling her for a while.

“Nanxian, why did you lie?” Song Xueyun asked.

Han Nanxian softly looked at her and said, “I don’t remember lying to anyone.”He tried to hold her hand but she snatched it away and asked him in a stern tone, “Don’t twist my words. You know what I am saying. I want to ask why did you just tell them the half-truth? What would have happened if you had told them that we are married? Were you scared of Xiulan and Xuan’s reaction?”

“Why would I be scared of their reaction?” Han Nanxian asked. “I know those mean a lot to you but I don’t care if they like my decision or not. Xueyun, the reason why I didn’t disclose has nothing to do with them but us.”

Song Xueyun fell silent and then asked, “And how is that?”

Han Nanxian held her hand and this time she let him hold her hand. “My family knows about us. Yeye is over the moon. He hasn’t scolded me in days and all because of you. Although he didn’t tell me how happy he is, I know his feelings. But Xueyun, your parents are not here. You are their only daughter. They don’t know anything about us. I wanted to tell our friends the truth about our relationship but then I realized how your parents deserved to know this first.”

What Han Nanxian was saying actually made sense. It must be the parents that should know about this matter. Song Xueyun was their only daughter. They must have a lot of dreams and aspirations about the marriage of their only daughter. He knew how much Mr. and Mrs. Song wanted to see Song Xueyun happy in a relationship.

“What are you saying?” Song Xueyun whispered.

“I am saying that let’s not tell anyone before your parents come, “Han Nanxian answered.

Song Xueyun didn’t say anything and only nodded her head. She didn’t talk all the way and was sitting there in the car with her head leaning against the window. She didn’t even ask where they were headed. When he stopped the car, she looked out to find an office building out.

“What are we doing here?” Song Xueyun asked him.

“We need a place to live, don’t we?” Han Nanxian asked her.

“We as in you and I?” Song Xueyun asked.

Han Nanxian leaned closer to her and whispered, “Who else, Yunyun?”

Feeling him so close to her, blood rushed to her face and she averted her gaze shyly. Han Nanxian chuckled when he saw her feeling shy. He had to agree that seeing her all red was a fascinating sight for him.

“I didn’t know we will stay together here too, “Song Xueyun suddenly said.

“Where do you think I will leave?” Han Nanxian asked.

“With your grandfather?” She suggested.

“He invited me to live there, “Song Xueyun answered. “Grandpa is not mean.”

“That’s because you are his only grandmother-in-law in law. The rules and conditions for both of us are different, “Han Nanxian told her. “Yeye can be mean if he wants. It’s just that he loves his grandsons too much. But it doesn’t mean he will let me stay there when you are living somewhere else.”

“What will we do now, Nanxian?” Song Xueyun asked him.

Han Nanxian hummed for a moment and then answered, “We came here to select a house for us. If you wish to live with me, we will move there as all of the houses are furnished. All we have to do is select one and we can shift there instantly.”

Song Xueyun looked at him and asked, “What if I refuse to live with you?”

“Then, I will drop you at your parent’s house and work hard every day to win your trust so you could live with me one day, “Han Nanxian said with a smile.

“Wouldn’t it be troublesome for you?” Song Xueyun asked him.

“How will it be troublesome?” Han Nanxian asked. “I got a wife pretty easily but I need to work hard to keep her with me. I don’t mind working hard for you. You are worth everything.”

Song Xueyun shook her head and whispered, “You are crazy.” She held his hand and added, “Now let’s find a place to live. I am tired. I want to rest at our new home.”

A smile bloomed on Han Nanxian’s face when he heard the word ‘home’ instead of ‘house’. They walked inside the property manager’s office with their hands held and a smile etched on their lips.

Song Xueyun and Han Nanxian fell in love with the third house they saw. This house was located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood right next to a lake. The large windows pulled out enough natural light and made the house seem full of positive energy. The house was not big but it wasn’t small either. It was enough to raise a family someday in the future.

When they walked into the living room, they could imagine themselves sitting there, watching TV or sharing their day with each other. There were two master bedrooms upstairs and two other bedrooms.

“What do you think about this place?” Both of them asked at the same time and then burst into laughter.

Han Nanxian turned to look at the broker and said, “We are taking this one.”

“Sir, we have many more houses on the list. You can visit them—”

“No, we don’t want to confuse us with so many choices. We want this one, “Song Xueyun said. There were so many other reasons to stay in this house aside from the fact that they loved it. The house was situated closer to his grandfather’s house as well as her parents’ house. Even their office was just a ten-minute ride from here. Maybe, this place was meant for them.

“What are you doing?” Song Xueyun asked as she saw him texting someone.

“Yeye wanted us to select a house, “Han Nanxian said. “Apparently, we are getting a wedding gift.”

Song Xueyun chuckled. This sounds so much like grandfather Han.

On the other hand, Han Zixin dropped An Xiulan at home. Since he was there, he decided to pay a visit to his grandfather.

“You brat! What are you doing here?” Grandfather Han asked, holding his cane.

“Yeye, aren’t you happy to see me?” Han Zixin asked his grandfather.

“Hah! Why would I be? Didn’t I send you to live in your house? Why are you here to disturb my peace of mind?” Grandfather asked him. “Brat! Listen to this old man and cultivate good habits.”

“Is drinking and gambling considered a good habit?” Han Zixin asked.

Grandfather hit him lightly with his case. “You dare do that! I have an image of society. I boast about my grandson being a police officer in front of those old geezers and you are thinking of ruining your name? How dare you do that? Everyone is envious of me for having such great grandsons!”

“What’s so good about being a police officer? I still earn peanuts compared to their grandsons, “Han Zixin mentioned and took peanuts from the bowl placed on the table.

“Ah-Xin! I will break your legs if you say this again, “Grandfather Han said in a stern tone. “Learn something from your brother?”

“What? Humility?” Han Zixin asked.

“He has a wife and you can’t even get a girlfriend, “Grandfather said with a huff. “I will not accept anyone but that adorable fella as my second granddaughter-in-law.”

“Then, help your grandson, “Han Zixin joined hands in a begging position. “If you want your grandson to be happy, you have to help me.”

Grandpa Han tsked. “You need this old man’s help. Shame on you. When I was young I had a beautiful girlfriend.”

“Still you ended up marrying your wife, “Han Zixin sarcastically said.

“I had no interest in the family business and my father was worried that I would ruin the family name. He made me marry your grandmother. It was tough being married to a tiger woman, “Grandpa Han said. “When she gave birth to our son, my father was finally happy with an heir. Only then I could leave that place.” He heaved out a sigh and said, “Sometimes I wondered if things would be different if I had raised my son. All the mistakes I committed then, I am trying to correct them with my grandsons.”

“Your son’s birthday is arriving. Are you going there?” Han Zixin asked. “And grandpa, you finally have a granddaughter. Won’t you go to meet her?”

Grandfather Han was silent as he didn’t know what to say.

“You should not discriminate against her. If you love the sons of that man equally, why not the daughter too?” Han Zixin asked. “If we want to live a peaceful life, we should forget and move on.”

“Are you ready to forgive them?” Han Qian asked his grandson.

Han Zixin smiled. “We can forget without forgiving, can’t we?”
