Chapter 123 - Entering The Han Estate

"How do I convince her, though?" Han Qingshan could not help sighing, but Yan Meilin just laughed out loud.

"Come to the house after university ends today. Make sure to bring Jiang Yingyue along," she said with a mysterious tone in her voice. "I will convince her."

Han Qingshan was a little hesitant, but he seemed to be tempted by the thought of having her as a woman by his side and being able to stake his claim on her, so he quickly made a decision. "We'll come after the final lecture is over and we'll stay for dinner, so make sure to have something delicious waiting for us at home."

After finishing the phone call with his mother, Han Qingshan was in a great mood. He had managed to win against Zhou Yan in a verbal spar earlier that day, he was living together with the woman he fancied, and he was going to be able to see her dress as a woman soon. He would be able to take her out to show the world that she was his.

Han Qingshan was calm and collected, but everyone could sense that his mood was much better than usual. They could not help but wonder what exactly was happening to him, but no one dared to ask.

The day was ending and the sun was setting when Jiang Yingyue finally emerged from the library. She had an assignment that needed her attention, and thus she had finished her day later than Han Qingshan; however, he had been waiting patiently for her, while working on some paperwork he had brought with him.

"Are we going to the office now?" Jiang Yingyue asked confusedly when she saw the pleased smile on Han Qingshan's face, but he just shook his head.

"I'm bringing you somewhere else," he said, and gestured for her to enter the car.

Feeling puzzled as to what was happening, Jiang Yingyue entered the car, and soon they took to the busy roads of the capital. Han Qingshan drove in the opposite direction of the office, and they soon reached the Golden River district, the most upscale area in the entire city, and also the most expensive one.

There were guards stationed outside the gates to the district, ensuring that only guests or residents could enter. When the guards saw the black Porsche of Han Qingshan, they opened the gates and allowed him to enter without even stopping him. It was clear that he came here often and Jiang Yingyue was even more puzzled as to what was going on.

"My mother has something important to talk with you about today." Han Qingshan finally felt it was time for him to warn her and prepare her slightly. His mother was a fountain of energy, and she tended to be a bit overwhelming when she was excited about something.

"I have to tell you though, my father and mother already know your real gender. I did not tell them about it; they guessed it on their own."

Hearing this, Jiang Yingyue's eyes flashed with panic. How could she possibly meet his mother again? Although she had been friendly towards her before, she had intimidated her greatly with her personality. And to meet her again on her own home turf was frightening.

Seeing Jiang Yingyue's panicked expression, Han Qingshan reached out his hand and gently patted her head. "Don't worry," he assured her, "Mother is a good person. She will not cause you problems."

Feeling the big hand gently caressing her head, Jiang Yingyue felt calmer, and her heartbeat returned to a normal pace.

Looking at her like this, Han Qingshan smiled, before retracting his hand. They soon drove up to a massive Spanish-style mansion that seemed to be able to house hundreds of people - the Han mansion.

Although Jiang Yingyue was feeling slightly apprehensive, they had already arrived, so there was no point in trying to turn around. Even if she did, there was no way she could walk back to the condo, so her only option was to follow Han Qingshan inside.

Her heart quickly calmed down, and although her palms had been sweaty earlier from nervousness, she was now much calmer.

Together they made their way up to the front door which was quickly opened by the housekeeper.

"Welcome home Young Master Shan, welcome Mister Jiang!"

The people in the house had not been enlightened to her real gender, and they all assumed she was a man. However, no one dared to show her any disrespect. They had, from the online rumors, understood that Han Qingshan treated her differently, and they had also heard many praising words about her from Yan Meilin and Han Guiying. It was only proper to treat her with due respect.

Han Qingshan reached out and took her hand, directly dragging her into the mansion after seeing her staring with wide open eyes at the lavish mansion. Her expression was one filled with disbelief.

The vases on the ground were magnificent, and the floor was made from marble. Walking on it she truly worried if she would stain it or something like that, but Han Qingshan just chuckled and dragged her towards a set of grand stairs that were in front of them, leading them towards the upper floors.

"Mother is likely to be waiting for us in her atelier," he said with a smile on his face, "so let us head towards her. I am sure she also asked the maids to prepare some light snacks for you since I doubt you have eaten anything since you had your lunch box a few hours ago."

Han Qingshan had a novel feeling of bringing his future bride home to see his family, and a small smile tugged on his lips as he gently led Jiang Yingyue towards the atelier by the hand.
