His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling Chapter 309 Father-in-law?

Yao Ying sighed. "Both of you misunderstand what I mean..." He felt that it was hard to express everything in words, but he still tried his hardest to make them understand his feelings.
"Oh... Then, shouldn't you make it clearer? From what I've heard, you want Yao Ling to be the one who fights for you in the future..." Rong Qiu kept pushing him without any mercy. He didn't like the sound of it. Why should they be the one who reminded him?
Yao Ying quickly explained, "I already said that I will be the one who handles it in the future. However, I hope that I won't fight the fight alone... I want Yao Ling and me to fight together ah~! For example, just like now... even if you say that Yao Ling had an engagement beforehand, I will fight for her because I won't give Yao Ling to another man!" He said resolutely by giving an example.
"However... I can declare that the only woman that I will love in this life will be Yao Ling... only her..." Yao Ying said the words to his father-in-law, however, he directed his intense gaze at Yao Ling. In a way, he wanted to let her know that he was being serious. No matter what happened in the future... he believed in himself that he would choose Yao Ling, no matter what!
Yao Ling felt satisfied because he was able to tell her clearly about his feelings --- even before he knew about the bond between them. If he knew beforehand, she would second guess whether it was because of the bond or not. Yao Ling was happy that she didn't reveal this thing to him when she was talking about the knowledge that she had gotten from her grandmother.
Rong Qiu had a lot of experiences regarding the love between man and woman --- he had to admit that he quite liked Yao Ying's decisive answer, even though he was too honest. He actually could say it in sweeter words as to not hurt his wife's feelings. This brat still needed to learn a lot of things to coax his wife better ah~!
Rong Qiu couldn't agree more with Yao Ying's view regarding this matter.
Indeed, the best way to tackle every problem in life was to fight together regardless of everything. That was why he regretted it when he let Su Wan go back then when he let Su Wan pretend to be a servant, despite that decision was actually the best choice at that time. Looked at how he ended up at the moment?
He lost her!
Rong Qiu sighed inwardly. It seemed like Yao Ying was more clearheaded than him --- but Yao Ying still had to prove it to him when the times came.
Yao Ling blushed when she heard his declaration --- it really warmed her heart. She understood one point... if she wanted to maintain their happiness, Yao Ying mustn't be the only one who fought for it --- after all, there was a possibility that there was something that he couldn't do, but she could. That was what he meant!
After all, if there was really a woman, Yao Ying couldn't just punch her, right? Thus, she started to understand a little bit about what he meant. She also needed to fight! She couldn't just hide behind him and expect everything to be easy to deal with...
When she understood everything, she smiled softly towards Yao Ying and said, "I will fight along with you... I... I will always love you too... forever..." After saying her piece, she suddenly became shy because she had forgotten that her father had been there all the time and listened to their mushy talk ah~! Hence, she could only look down in embarrassment.
Yao Ying really wanted to kiss her when he saw her cuteness!
Her father really helped her let go the knot inside her heart --- she knew that from this moment on she wouldn't feel afraid every day. Previously, she always felt nervous whether Yao Ying remembered his past or not. Yao Ying already said so and she truly believed in him. He was not a man who would easily go back from his promise.
Rong Qiu blanched when he saw their lovey-dovey moment. Oh well... at least, the talk ended up really good. He could see his daughter's twinkling eyes and happy expressions. It made him feel slightly better. He needed to teach Yao Ying a few things because it seemed like the brat was too righteous, thus, he didn't bother to say sweet nothings when he answered the difficult questions just now.
Yao Ying sighed in relief when he felt that everything actually ended up well. Yao Ling and Rong Qiu seemed to be satisfied with his answers. Yao Ying turned to Rong Qiu and asked hesitantly, "So... can I call you father-in-law now?"
If Rong Qiu said he could, then it meant he had answered correctly ah~! If not, then he needed to coax him until Rong Qiu allowed Yao Ying to call him father-in-law. What else he could do? After all, Rong Qiu was still the elder here and he needed to respect him.
Rong Qiu looked at him sharply and answered, "You gave me a pretty good answer, besides, you made my daughter smile just now. So, I will let you go for now... You can call me 'father-in-law'. However... once you hurt her, I will take her away with me. My daughter is so pretty and there are a lot of males out there who will certainly appreciate her."
Yao Ying sweated when he heard that. Rong Qiu was basically threatening him, but he knew that it was for Yao Ling's good ah~! Thus, he wasn't able to refute. Besides, with Yao Ling's power... she could leave him easily if she wanted... and he didn't want that to happen!
Yao Ying quickly said, "Thank you, Father-in-law. I will keep it in mind!"
"Get up! Why are being so formal?" Rong Qiu said it in a displeasure voice, but the couple knew that he was doing it just for the sake of it. They could see the smile in his expressions. By asking the last part, he was already acknowledging Yao Ying as Yao Ling's husband ah~!
Thus, the couple also felt happy!
After Rong Qiu was feeling satisfied, he suddenly remembered about Su Wan once again. Judging from the letter, it seemed like she was being held hostage by someone... but who? It had been a long time ago, would she still be imprisoned just like his mother?
"Yao Ling, have your mother ever told you the condition when she found you?" Rong Qiu seemed to understand how important Jiu Lan in Yao Ling's life was, besides, she had helped him to bring Yao Ling up until she was this big. He wasn't an ungrateful or unreasonable person and he would also call her as Yao Ling's mother.
Yao Ling told him everything and Rong Qiu felt that his heart was being pierced. Why was Su Wan in a hurry? Based on her personality, something big must have happened back then... otherwise, the stubborn woman wouldn't let go her only daughter to the wilderness --- it was uncertain whether the little baby would be found by other people just in time and survived the ordeal or not.
Su Wan wasn't the type of woman who liked to gamble her own daughter's life. It meant that something or someone was threatening their life...
There were a lot of questions that needed to be answered ah~!
'Su Wan... where are you?' Rong Qiu asked inwardly, hoping that the latter was safe.
Yao Ying saw the dazed look in his father's eyes and she could already guess that her father must have been thinking about her mother. "Father... are you okay?" Yao Ling asked hesitantly.
Rong Qiu woke out of his reverie and remembered that his daughter was still there. He nodded his head and said that he was okay. He didn't want Yao Ling to worry about him. However, he honestly answered her, "I just miss your mother and thinking... whether she would be angry at me or not..."
They knew what he was talking about...
It was because he forgot about his beloved...
If Su Wan knew, her heart must have been broken to pieces.
