She always rembered, on her mother's hospital bed in the ward, that her mother held her hand and gently stroked her head in her final monts, with a regretful yet tender smile.
"Nuannuan, Mommy may not be able to be with you forever, but... Mommy still hopes that you will find your own happiness in the future. My daughter is so cute and so beautiful, you will certainly look lovely in a wedding dress. When you find that boy you want to spend your life with, you must bring him to see Mommy, okay?"
These were the hopes a mother left for her child to continue living. When her daughter found soone she wanted to spend her life with, she could truly be at peace.
Mom... this person, he has truly co.
The two people, in their sharp suits and white wedding dresses, leaned on each other in front of the grave. The gentle smile of the woman in the photo on the tombstone seed to break through the bounds of life and death.
Red and white events, life and death intertwined, as if they truly transcended ti and space.
The breeze blew, the flowers at the grave swayed, petals fluttering down onto the heads of the two like a pair of hands reaching across ti to gently stroke their heads...
...
The engagent party venue had already been set up, and all the invitations had been sent out. So far, the only one who hadn't shown up was her.
Xu Musen made a phone call.
After a mont, the call connected, and after two seconds of silence, Yao Mingyue finally spoke first.
"Hey, how does Mr. Big Busy Xu have ti to call ?"
That familiar affected tone now suddenly felt so pleasant to hear.
Xu Musen chuckled, "The engagent party is about to start, and you and Mom still haven't arrived?"
On the other end, Yao Mingyue paused for a few seconds before speaking, "You, are you really planning to invite ?"
"What else? Isn't soone fearless? Planning to chicken out at the last minute?"
Yao Mingyue bit her lip slightly, "Aren't you afraid... I might cause a scene at your engagent party?"
"Would you?"
Xu Musen asked back without a hint of worry.
"Heh."
Yao Mingyue sneered a few tis, "In your eyes, am I not just a troublemaker? What am I incapable of doing? And... would your little fiancée really be happy about attending your engagent party?"
Towards the end, Yao Mingyue's tone carried a bit of sourness and resentnt.
"You're underestimating . In my family, if I say soone can co, they can co."
"Heh, you?"
Yao Mingyue couldn't help but laugh, "Others might not know, but I do. With your henpecked status..."
"Only when you love soone will you willingly be managed."
Xu Musen candidly admitted.
On the other end, hearing this, Yao Mingyue felt the bitterness in her heart slightly lessened.
She opened her mouth, then slowly said, "You and your sweet talk... We just got off the plane, Aunt Bai ca to pick us up. We're preparing a few things before heading over."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Xu Musen said nothing more and hung up the phone.
Yao Mingyue looked at the hung-up call, thinking this guy really couldn't be bothered with unimportant people during such a joyful event...
She looked up and saw the festive crowd decorated with lanterns and strears.
...
The engagent party was chosen to be held at a private beach on the Bund.
Renting out the place for a day itself cost a fortune, and Xu Musen had booked it and had it refurbished a week in advance just for today.
Not many were invited to the engagent party, but Father Xu, Mother Xu, and An Shanhai, as well as the grandparents, were busy greeting guests.
"Congratulations, big brother! You've finally decided to settle your precious daughter's major life event!"
A hearty laugh ca from a robust and strong figure approaching. It was Director An, who had helped Xu Musen with a case before.
As An Nuannuan's uncle and soone who had helped him so much, Xu Musen had personally delivered the invitation.
He walked into the hall, and hugged An Shanhai.
An Shanhai smiled and nodded, "A daughter can't be kept forever; marriage is inevitable. Your daughter will face it soon too."
"Hey, my daughter is still in high school. Let's see which little rascal dares to have a puppy love with my daughter while I'm around!"
Speaking of his daughter, Director An instantly showed the dignity of a protective father. His status alone frightened most teenage boys.
An Shanhai laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "I used to think that too, but when your daughter truly sets her mind on soone, you can be the Jade Emperor, and you still wouldn't be able to stop her."
Director An's face turned green at the thought of his precious daughter suddenly bringing ho a boy one day, feeling distressed yet powerless.
"Alright, enough of that. Let's not talk about this today, I want to see Nuannuan and your son-in-law!"
As he spoke, Xu Musen and An Nuannuan had already approached.
"Uncle An."
"Second Uncle."
They both greeted him. Director An's eyes brightened seeing Xu Musen and An Nuannuan.
He walked over, squeezed Xu Musen's shoulders, and upon seeing this rare strong physique in a young man, he laughed heartily, "Good, very good! From now on, you don't need to call Uncle An, just follow Nuannuan and call Second Uncle."
Saying this, he looked at An Nuannuan dressed in her pure white wedding dress, resembling an angel. He sighed, "In the blink of an eye, you've grown up, girls always beco adults so quickly. Your Second Uncle will always be your Second Uncle. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, I'll bring our departnt's police dogs to bite them!"
