Ye Junqing held a glass of wine. He clinked glasses with Tang Zhou and laughed, "If you and Leng Chenmo think it’s feasible, I naturally have no objection. I can’t wait to have Asheng marry Tangtang ho tomorrow. That way, the two kids don’t have to endure the hardships of a long-distance relationship."
Tang Zhou patted his chest, saying, "My little follower listens to . As long as Brother Qing has no objections, I’ll call my little follower later to set the wedding date."
Ye Shen, wearing a thick fleece coat, walked in from outside. He rubbed his hands as he entered the dining room. He arrived just in ti to hear the elders discussing his and Tangtang’s wedding. His eyes instantly brightened, and he dramatically rushed up to Tang Zhou.
His excited voice asked repeatedly, "Really? For real?"
While enjoying the delicious plain rice, Su Chaoyang, the little darling, said in her childlike voice, "It’s cooked!"
"HAHAHA," Tang Zhou laughed heartily.
Ye Shen felt unsure as he pulled up a chair to sit down. "I don’t care, I heard it! Just hold the wedding for and Tangtang over New Year’s. Agh, there are still two months. I need to prepare well."
It was an unexpected joy, and Ye Shen felt ecstatic.
Tang Zhou continued, "You should really thank the little ones. They’ve worried themselves sick over your wedding. They did their utmost to put out the fire, and Xiaobai nearly died. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought of moving up the wedding. This is a promise from and my little follower to the kids."
"What happened?" Ye Shen had received no news yet.
Tang Zhou, fearing that others might not be aware of the little dragons’ heroic deeds, vividly described the incident. There was a wildfire in S Country, the kind rarely seen in a century. When Leng Chenmo was at his wit’s end, the little dragons conjured a Water Tornado and extinguished the forest fire.
He added, "My little follower asked the kids what reward they wanted, and in unison, they said they wanted you to marry Tangtang sooner. Later, the kids developed fevers that wouldn’t subside..."
Tears welled up in Ye Shen’s eyes. He stood up from his chair and hugged and kissed each child.
"Jingzhe, Uncle loves you!"
"Yangyang, Uncle loves you SO much!"
"Shurong, Uncle will rember this for life!"
"Leilei, Uncle knew all that pampering wasn’t for nothing!"
The little ones were sitting in a row at the dining table, all striking cool and cute poses, making a heart gesture at Ye Shen.
Sheng Liangliang and Yun Xiaosu, the two little treasures, had not participated in this and felt extrely regretful.
Sheng Liangliang got angry, pushed her little rice bowl away, and refused to eat.
Ye Xinguang asked his granddaughter, "Baby, what’s wrong? Doesn’t it taste good?"
Sheng Liangliang was truly angry. "They went out to be heroes and didn’t take Susu and with them! This princess isn’t eating!" she proclaid. "This princess also wants to help Uncle San get married!"
Gu Shurong, the chubby little boy, explained, "Sister, it’s not like that. We dote on you; that’s why we couldn’t bear for you to co. Really, don’t be angry."
Sheng Liangliang tilted her little face, looking away at a forty-five-degree angle. "Humph, I don’t believe it! They must think this princess and Susu are burdens, so they didn’t take us to play. It’s infuriating!"
Yun Xiaosu was also very angry and huffed in the sa manner as Sheng Liangliang, "Exactly! Our brothers think we’re burdens and don’t take us to play with them."
Ye Jingzhe and Xi Lei both chose silence. More explanation would just sound like excuses.
It’s better to buy them gifts later to appease them.
Benefiting from the kindness of his little nephews, Ye Shen tried to smooth things over. "Liangliang, Susu, when your uncle gets married, he’ll be relying on you two little treasures. At that ti, Liangliang and Susu can perform their talents. That’ll make the wedding lively."
Yun Xiaosu raised her little hand high. "Uncle, I can perform by singing and dancing!"
"That’s right, my Susu is the best, much better than all her brothers."
No longer angry, Sheng Liangliang pursed her little pink lips in thought, considering what act she should prepare.
Little Liangliang had lately been focused solely on learning about Chinese herbal dicine with Zhang ii. She was serious about wanting to study traditional Chinese dicine and had been so occupied with it that she couldn’t imdiately think of what she should perform.
"Liangliang, we can sing and dance together!"
"Okay, okay!"
That way, she wouldn’t have to rack her brains.
Children’s anger passes quickly; a little distraction works wonders.
Soon after, Ye Shen said to Ye Siyuan, "Sis, when the ti cos, we can team up for the wedding photoshoot."
"No way."
Taking wedding photos was sothing she wanted to enjoy as a unique experience, not as part of a team. Teaming up would be like a group purchase on Pinduoduo, lacking a style that was exclusively hers.
Ye Shen rolled his eyes. Picking up his chopsticks and grabbing so food, he said, "Fine, forget it. I don’t want to team up with you anyway. After dinner, I’m going to discuss with Tangtang what style we want."
Ye Shen couldn’t wait any longer.
After just five minutes at the dining table, he took his bowl to the living room. He sat on the couch with his legs comfortably crossed and started a video call with Song Tangtang, who was far away in S Country, to discuss wedding photography.
"Did my mom really say that?" Song Tangtang couldn’t believe it.
"You think I’m lying?"
"It’s not just my mom’s idea, is it? My dad has to agree to my marriage as well."
"Your maternal uncle also agreed! If you don’t believe , go ask him!"
Song Tangtang was doubtful because her dad had never expressed any plans for her to get married within the next two years, especially considering she and Ye Shen were still young, both only twenty-one this year and would turn twenty-two after the New Year.
Last month, her dad even said that he wouldn’t let her get married before she turned twenty-five.
She had previously gone to study at Yecheng University to be closer to Ye Shen. However, her dad later brought her back and arranged for her to study in S Country, forcing her to live apart from her beloved.
"You wait," Song Tangtang said, intending to go ask.
Ye Shen, with his legs crossed, nonchalantly ate his rice, though he was inwardly unsure. He urged, "Hurry up, hurry up! Call back imdiately after you ask. I’m waiting to discuss the wedding photoshoot with you."
Ye Shen said, "Now, there are only two months left until the New Year; we can’t delay any longer. The wedding photoshoot alone will take at least a month, not to ntion other things. We’re really pressed for ti."
"I got it."
After Song Tangtang decisively ended the call, Ye Shen felt anxious, fearing things wouldn’t go smoothly.
Until the actual wedding night, Ye Shen wouldn’t feel at ease; he constantly worried that sothing might go wrong unexpectedly.
Su Chaoyang, the little darling, had finished her al. She happily ca to the living room couch, climbed up, and sat beside Ye Shen to watch TV. She wanted to watch cartoons and noticed Ye Shen was so nervous that he was sitting bolt upright.
"Uncle, what are you so nervous about?"
"Getting married is a big deal. How can I not be nervous?"
Recalling that little Su Chaoyang knew the arts of the Mystery Sect, Ye Shen looked down and said, "Darling, can you perform a divination for your uncle? Will my marriage go smoothly? Will there be any unexpected problems? Quickly, quickly, Uncle is really uneasy."
"OH, OH." Su Chaoyang, the little darling, began her calculations with a practiced air.
