Learning to Love Again

Su Lian puts on a long-sleeved cocktail dress with a pair of black stilettos to match and leaves for the restaurant.

...

"Do you think she'll like Yuan and even if she does, we can't force that boy to do anything." Liu Yumei says in a slightly worried tone.

If they meet Su Lian and find her to be as great as Han Lili says, it won't matter unless Han Yuan himself agrees to develop a relationship with her. And the chance of that is very slim.

After all, they have arranged several women for him over the past few years and he has rejected every single one.

Liu Yumei stares at the door while anxiously waiting for Su Lian to walk in.

The window of their private room is a one-way mirror. They can see what's happening outside the room, but the other diners on the main floor can't see them.

Han Haoran pats his wife's hand and looks at her dotingly. "Don't worry dear. He won't inherit the company until he gets a wife. That should be enough to motivate him."

Before they can speak any further, a beautiful girl in a black long-sleeved dress walks into the restaurant.

She only has some light make-up on, but her face is so captivating and ethereal, it's almost like staring at an angel.

To their surprise, the host leads her up to their private room. Simultaneously, the old couple both immediately fix their gazes on Han Lili.

She told them that her friend was beautiful, but not once did they imagine that she would be this stunning.

The host knocks on the door and waits for a response before entering with Su Lian.

"Ms. Lili, your final guest has arrived." The host makes a gesture and then exists.

"Lian, I'm so glad you came." Han Lili ran up to hug her. "These are my parents. Mom and dad, this is Su Lian, my new friend."

Su Lian walks over to exchange pleasantries. "It's nice to meet you."

"Likewise." Han Haoran and Liu Yumei are extremely pleased with the etiquette that she has displayed so far.

They ask for a waiter to come in so that they can order their food.

Halfway through the meal, Haoran and Yumei are already very satisfied with their future daughter-in-law. Every action she does is graceful and she answered all their questions in a smooth and direct tone.

They were simply amazed when they found out that she had gotten a master's degree at nineteen.

'Her parents must be proud.' Liu Yumei thinks to herself before glancing at her daughter with her eyes brimming with dissatisfaction.

Han Lili notices her mother's gaze, but she just chooses to ignore it. She is already used to her frequent jealousy and disapproval over little things that are of no concern to her.

After the meal, Haoran and Yumei want to take Su Lian home and officially make her apart of their family. So they ask her if she would like to come over.

They have already accepted her as their daughter-in-law so Han Yuan will just have to suck it up. Besides, he'll thank them later.

Su Lian politely declines their offer with a light smile on her face.

"Sorry, but I have to leave now to make sure my Yichen and my grandmother are okay."

"Your Yichen?" Han Lili immediately gets anxious.

Who the f*ck is Yichen?

She could only pray that he is Su Lian's brother or cousin.

Hopefully, he is not her boyfriend or else things would get tricky.

If there was a man in the scene would he accept bribery to leave?

"Yichen is my son. My grandmother is watching him while I'm here."

Han Haoran's jaw drops.

Liu Yumei's spoon falls at of her hand

And Han Lili's face turns pale.

Did she say son?

What are they supposed to do... bribe a child?

In an instant, all their hopes and dreams for the iceberg's wedding were shattered.
