Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 491 - 472: Candid Confessions

When they arrived at the Cheng Family home, Cheng Roning and Mu Jiyang were already home, and Meng Jiahui had even rushed back from school just to join them for the meal.

As Lin Banxia and Yan Ting stepped into the living room, Cheng Roning greeted them with a beaming smile: "Mr. Huo, I really didn’t expect the bond between you and Banxia to be so strong. We’re truly delighted to have you as our guest here today."

Yan Ting immediately responded with polite courtesy: "Auntie, you’re being too kind. I might be dropping by more often in the future, so I hope you won’t get tired of me!"

"Of course not! Please, come sit down. Lunch will be ready shortly!" Cheng Roning quickly ushered Mu Jiyang to prepare some tea, while Meng Jiahui widened her big, bright eyes and openly sized up Yan Ting: "So, you’re my future brother-in-law, huh? You really are so handsome!"

The little girl’s comment instantly sparked laughter among everyone.

Mu Jiyang teased her right away: "Jiahui, are you unable to look away whenever you see a handsome guy? How old are you, and you already have such a refined aesthetic sense?"

Meng Jiahui pouted indignantly: "Big Brother, you’re really underestimating me! I won’t have a crush on Brother-in-law, no way! Besides, he’s way too old for me!"

Yan Ting’s expression turned awkward—it was his first time being called "too old" by someone.

Seeing the man’s embarrassed expression, Lin Banxia couldn’t help but suppress a giggle: "Jiahui, when you grow up, I’m sure you’ll find a boyfriend even more handsome than your Brother-in-law."

Meng Jiahui replied with a mischievous smile: "He has to be as outstanding as Brother-in-law, too! When the time comes, I’ll ask Brother-in-law to introduce me to someone nice!"

Yan Ting nodded immediately: "Alright, when the time comes, if there’s an outstanding young man, I’ll certainly introduce you."

Cheng Roning couldn’t resist lightly scolding her younger daughter: "Jiahui, what nonsense are you talking about? Your priority right now is studying—don’t even think about puppy love!"

Meng Jiahui quickly nodded her little head: "Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely study hard and strive for excellence every day." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Meanwhile, Cheng Roning was also quietly observing Yan Ting. In the past, their interactions had been limited to quick greetings from afar, but now that she saw him up close, his striking features, refined aura, and graceful demeanor truly stood out. With such an exceptional son-in-law, Cheng Roning felt deeply satisfied.

"Mr. Huo, do you still keep in touch with Tingting nowadays?" Cheng Roning couldn’t help but bring up this topic. After all, Banxia was the daughter she had worked so hard to reconcile with; she couldn’t bear to see her hurt again. Though she had once held great respect for Yan Ting’s status, for the sake of her daughter’s happiness, she now felt compelled to ask.

Yan Ting responded firmly: "Auntie, please call me by my name instead. Hearing you address me like that feels rather unfamiliar!"

Cheng Roning smiled and nodded: "Alright, I’ll call you Yan Ting then."

With a calm yet resolute gaze, Yan Ting glanced at the delicate little woman beside him and answered, "I have never had any contact with Chu Tingting. I don’t know if Banxia mentioned this to you, but Chu Tingting was someone my grandparents forced upon me. There has never been any romantic relationship between us."

Mu Jiyang interjected from the side: "I can vouch for that!"

Lin Banxia looked at her older brother curiously: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because Tingting used to call me whenever she had free time to complain. She’d rant about how her ’Yan Ting Brother’ could be so cold and indifferent, how he had no sense of compassion or tenderness for her at all. From the sound of it, Chu Tingting clearly didn’t enjoy any care or warmth from him," Mu Jiyang said, mimicking Chu Tingting’s whining tone as he recounted her gripes.

Lin Banxia couldn’t hold back her laughter and burst out giggling.
