Ever since Jiang Huaizhou told Father Jiang that he was bringing Dong Yujie home that night, Father Jiang had been nervous the whole day.
First, he cleaned the house.
Father Jiang was actually diligent and cleaned every day, but today, he was especially strict about the cleanliness of the house.
Then, he went to the market to buy groceries. He still remembered what Dong Yujie liked to eat in the past.
He only hoped that Dong Yujie's taste hadn't changed.
He spent the whole afternoon preparing the dishes and estimated the time that Jiang Huaizhou had promised.
Father Jiang started preparing dinner half an hour before Jiang Huaizhou's promised time.
He didn't dare to prepare too much in advance, afraid that the dishes would be cold by the time Jiang Huaizhou and Dong Yujie entered the house.
The kitchen hood was on, and the machine made a roaring sound. Coupled with the sound of cooking with a spatula, Father Jiang couldn't hear anything else.
So, from time to time, he would stop and pay attention to the door.
When he heard the doorbell, he was worried that he was so nervous that he was hallucinating.
But when he heard the doorbell ring again, Father Jiang quickly turned off the stove, threw down the spatula, and went to open the door.
Seeing Jiang Huaizhou and Dong Yujie standing together, Father Jiang was so nervous that his reaction was a little slow.
"You're … you're back," Father Jiang said uneasily.
She rubbed her hands on the apron uneasily before she remembered, "Come in quickly."
"Dad," Dong Yujie said nervously.
Jiang Huaizhou carried all the things that Dong Yujie bought.
Seeing the two of them so awkward, Father Jiang said.
"Dad, this is a gift that Yujie bought for you. Shall I put it in the living room for now?"
"Oh, okay." Father Jiang nodded.
Jiang Huaizhou carried the things into the living room first.
Father Jiang didn't dare to look at Dong Yujie.
He felt guilty toward Dong Yujie.
"You were … stuck in traffic, right?" Father Jiang asked.
"Yes, there was a traffic jam for a while, so we came back a little late," Dong Yujie said.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just expected a traffic jam, so I didn't dare to prepare dinner too early," Father Jiang said. "B City is like this. The traffic jam is getting worse. What number limit? Lottery? It can't be solved. "
"Come in and sit down. Dinner will be ready soon," Father Jiang said.
"Let me help you," Dong Yujie said.
"No need, no need." Father Jiang quickly said, "I'm almost done. Go sit with Huaizhou."
With that, Father Jiang plunged into the kitchen.
Dong Yujie went to the living room to find Jiang Huaizhou. Jiang Huaizhou smiled and said, "How is it? Dad's attitude is not bad, right? "
Dong Yujie breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "I think Dad really doesn't mind anymore. At least they won't stop us from being together. "
Jiang Huaizhou smiled and nodded.
Not long after, Father Jiang came out with the dishes and placed them on the dining table.
Dong Yujie and Jiang Huaizhou quickly went to help.
Father Jiang didn't give in, but in the end, he couldn't win against the two of them.
The three of them placed the dishes on the table before sitting down.
"You still have to drive tonight, so I won't let you drink," Father Jiang said.
"Alright." Jiang Huaizhou smiled and nodded.
"Well …" Father Jiang raised his wine glass.
Jiang Huaizhou and Dong Yujie didn't drink, but they had juice to drink.
"Tonight, we celebrate Yujie's return. Congratulations to the two of you for finally getting married," Father Jiang said.
Dong Yujie looked at Mr. Jiang in surprise.
But she still clinked glasses with Father Jiang with Jiang Huaizhou.
"Try it," Father Jiang said. "My culinary skills have improved a lot from before."
In the past, it was Mother Dong who cooked.
But ever since the two of them separated, Father Jiang had to take care of himself.
He slowly practiced. Although his culinary skills weren't that good, they were still passable.
"Yujie," Father Jiang said after a while, "I … It was all because of me that you …"
"No." Dong Yujie quickly said, "I wanted to go out for a walk and relax. It has nothing to do with you."
"I definitely have my reasons." Seeing that Dong Yujie was about to refute, Father Jiang said, "Don't be in a hurry to refute. Actually, I know what I'm doing."
"After you left, I regretted it," Father Jiang said. "After you left, I thought every day that if only I hadn't been like that back then, I wouldn't have stopped you guys."
"Although I might not have felt it myself, you must have been hurt by my attitude. Some of my attitude and gaze are things that I didn't know about. "
"At that time, I thought that if you could come back, I would definitely agree to anything. No matter how difficult it was, I would agree. "Father Jiang took a sip of wine and sighed.
"So later on, your mother wanted to divorce me to pave the way for you guys. Actually, I knew all about it. So, I agreed. I just hoped that you could come back soon. The two of you … wouldn't have any more regrets. "
"Dad," Dong Yujie called out.
Father Jiang smiled. "You called me Dad correctly. You don't have to change it."
Dong Yujie looked at Father Jiang guiltily.
Father Jiang said, "Don't look at me guiltily. You don't owe me anything. On the contrary, I'm the one who has let you down."
"I'm useless. I still care about my reputation." Father Jiang took another big gulp of wine.
With the help of the wine, he said all the things that he usually couldn't say. "Now that you're back, the two of you should be fine."
"I don't care about anything anymore. No matter what I do, none of the things that I care about have a good ending. I'm just minding my own business and causing trouble, "Father Jiang said." The two of you should be fine. "
Dong Yujie didn't expect to hear Father Jiang say such things today.
She thought that even if Father Jiang didn't object anymore, he would still feel a little upset.
She could only wait for him to digest it slowly.
But she didn't expect Father Jiang to accept it completely.
Dong Yujie didn't feel any pressure at all during this meal.
"Thank you, Dad," Dong Yujie said.
Father Jiang smiled and said, "Let's find a time to have a meal together as a family?"
"Dad, I haven't told you yet," Jiang Huaizhou said. "I proposed to Yujie."
Father Jiang was obviously stunned.
It wasn't that he objected.
He had the same thoughts as Dong Yujie and Mother Dong. He didn't expect Jiang Huaizhou to propose to her so soon after they got together.
"My situation is different from Yujie's. We've been together for so many years. It's just that we didn't get along as lovers before. But we know each other better than ordinary lovers, "Jiang Huaizhou said.
"So, there's no need for any pre-marriage understanding," Jiang Huaizhou said.
"What did Yujie say?" Father Jiang smiled and looked at Dong Yujie.
"I agreed," Dong Yujie said. "I think Huaizhou is right. Given our current situation, there's no need to drag it out.
"Moreover, we've been through so much," Jiang Huaizhou said. "Now that we're finally together, I just want to marry her quickly so that I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I'm always afraid that something will happen, and I can't sleep well every day. "
