Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

As time goes by, Tan family cuisine has been vigorously promoted on a wider scale with its unique flavor and profound cultural heritage.

During this process, the relationship between the He and Lou families became closer and closer, like flowers blown by the spring breeze.

The two elderly people, He Daqing and Tan Yali, have experienced many vicissitudes of life in the long river of life. They are keenly aware that their lives are like a candle in the wind and will soon disappear in the near future.

The two weathered old men began to plan for the future of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e.

They know very well that young people's happiness requires the guidance and support of their elders.

So, they began to plan carefully and create various opportunities for He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e to spend time together.

The first thing that came to He Daqing and Tan Yali's mind was a family gathering.

He Daqing carefully selected a sunny day and invited Lou Xiao'e and relatives and friends of both families.

The beautifully decorated courtyard is filled with sumptuous food, including of course the classic Tan family dishes.

He Daqing greeted everyone with a smile on his face and deliberately arranged He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe to sit together.

He Yuzhu didn't want to reject He Daqing's kindness, so he said to Lou Xiaoe awkwardly, "My dear, I'm sorry, my father..."

Lou Xiao'e said hurriedly, "Boss He, I understand, my mother also has this idea, Xiangyang and Xiaolin are also following suit.

However, I know that I know you have no thoughts about me just like you did many years ago.

So, you don’t have to feel any burden in your heart. Let’s just think of it as something to please the two old people, so as not to make them unhappy.”

He Yuzhu was slightly startled after hearing what Lou Xiaoe said, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He looked at Lou Xiaoe, with a trace of guilt and helplessness in his eyes.

"Xiao'e, it's not what you think. After all these years, I'm no longer the He Yuzhu I used to be."

He Yuzhu's voice was low and sincere. "Actually, I feel very guilty about Wanting's death. During the time when she was ill, I was busy with my own business, which led to her illness being discovered too late! So I haven't remarried in the past few years. ..."

Lou Xiao'e lowered her eyes slightly and sighed softly: "He Yuzhu, I have also heard Xiaolin and I talk about you and Zhang Wanting! You are really a responsible and good man. Zhang Wanting is lucky to be able to give you. As for your father and mother's thoughts, you don't have to care. We just need to follow their will and make them happy..."

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e, and the complex emotions in his heart became stronger. He opened his mouth, hesitating to speak, and finally said slowly: "Xiao'e, I know it may be a bit abrupt to say this now, but after experiencing so much in these years, I really understand some things. Wanting's departure made me start to reflect on my life, and I found that I had missed a lot."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Yuzhu, what do you want to say?"

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and said with courage: "Xiao'e, I have actually thought it through now. My father is right, Wanting is gone, and I should have my own life.

Since fate has made us in-laws, and our parents and two children all want us to be together, we might as well give it a try..."

Lou Xiao'e was slightly shocked, with a look of surprise on her face: "He, Yuzhu, stop joking. Since you looked down on me back then, how can you look down on me now that you are a boss worth hundreds of billions? I said you really don't need to care about what the two old people and the children think..."

He Yuzhu said anxiously: "Xiao'e, I'm not kidding. Back then, I rejected you because I already had Wanting. Now Wanting is gone, and I don't want to miss you again. I want to face the future life with you, and I hope you can give me a chance."

Lou Xiao'e was silent for a moment, then shook her head gently: "He Yuzhu, this is too sudden, I need time to think about it."

He Yuzhu nodded in understanding: "Okay, Xiao'e, I'll wait for your reply. No matter what decision you make, I respect you."

The party continued, but He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e's hearts were full of confusion and thoughts.

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiaoe from time to time, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety. Lou Xiaoe fell into deep thought, she recalled every bit of her past with He Yuzhu, and her heart was filled with ripples.

After the party, He Yuzhu took the initiative to send Lou Xiaoe home. Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

It was not until he was sent to the doorstep of Lou's house that He Yuzhu mustered up the courage to say, "Xiao'e, I hope you can seriously consider what I said. I really want to be with you."

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu, with a complex look in her eyes: "He Yuzhu, I will think about it carefully. Thank you for sending me home."

He Yuzhu watched Lou Xiao'e walk into the house, his heart full of anticipation.

He knew that this was an important turning point and his future might depend on Lou Xiao'e's decision.

In the following days, He Yuzhu simply stayed in Hong Kong. He really had everything he needed now, except a companion. For him, Lou Xiao'e was indeed his best choice. But he also knew that he couldn't rush into this matter, and let Lou Xiao'e let go of her grudge against him many years ago and accept him again. "

During this period, Lou Xiao'e also fell into deep thought.

She recalled her past lingering love for He Yuzhu, the failure of her previous marriage, and considered the current actual situation.

She didn't know whether she should accept He Yuzhu. After all, they were both not young anymore and she didn't want to have another failed marriage.

However, after careful consideration, Lou Xiao'e made a bold decision.

She decided to give He Yuzhu a chance, and also give herself a chance.

She believed that as long as they treated each other with sincerity, they would be able to overcome their psychological barriers and move towards a happy future together.

When Lou Xiao'e told He Yuzhu about her decision, He Yuzhu was a little excited. He knew that Lou Xiao'e had finally let go of her grudge against him and was willing to accept him again.

He held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly and said, "Xiao'e, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely cherish it and make you happy."

Since then, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e began a middle-aged romance.

They tried to accept each other, to open their hearts and to talk frankly.

After this contact, they discovered that they had actually missed each other for many years.

They first discovered that they both had a strong interest in traditional culture.

He Yuzhu has always loved the culture of old Jingzhou and has a deep attachment to those ancient alleys and courtyards.

He likes to stroll through the streets and alleys of old Beijing in his spare time and feel the charm of history.
