Chapter 697: Chapter 710: The Wedding Date—November 10th of the Lunar Calendar

Nie Zhan first went to schedule the registration, then found a master to pick an auspicious date. The feng shui master chose three good dates, and Lu Jiaxin picked the tenth of the eleventh lunar month.

Once the wedding date was set, Nie Zhan excitedly said to Lu Jiaxin, “Let’s go to the old house together tomorrow to tell Grandpa this great news.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t want to go with him to the old house and said rather coldly, “You go back and tell Grandpa and Brother on your own!”

“What’s wrong?”

Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin realized she misunderstood him, “Your mom ca back this morning. Didn’t your grandpa and Nie Jingwen tell you?”

Nie Zhan was stunned; he really didn’t know about this: “If you don’t want to go, then we won’t. Just save dinner for tomorrow night.”

No need to think, with his mom at the old house, tomorrow’s visit definitely won’t be pleasant.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and agreed. One could only say that both of them shared the sa plight; she couldn’t enjoy her al with Hongjun there, and Nie Zhan felt the sa.

The next day, Lu Jiaxin first called Zong Shing to tell her about this: “Yes, the tenth of the eleventh lunar month, there’s half a year to prepare, no problem.”

First, notify by phone, then send the invitations. But from design to production, the invitations take ti. If all goes well, it might take a week; if not, even a month might not be enough.

Zong Shing laughed and said, “Jiaxin, if you need anything from , don’t hesitate to ask.”

Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, “If I need anything, I definitely won’t hold back. Sister Shing, do you have ti this Saturday? If so, let’s have afternoon tea together.”

Zong Shing ntioned that Yu itong was bored staying at ho alone: “Let’s go see itong on Saturday and keep her company.”

Won suffer a lot due to pregnancy reactions, and they are very vulnerable at this ti. Yu itong’s condition was still okay, she just couldn’t stand strange slls. As long as there is no cooking at ho, she’s fine with bland plain porridge. When she was pregnant with her eldest son, she couldn’t stand even the slightest fishy sll, otherwise, she’d vomit. Because she’s gone through it, she feels very sorry for those suffering from pregnancy.

“Sure.”

Yu itong, hearing her wedding date was the tenth of the eleventh lunar month, said, “Don’t tell about lunar dates; just tell the Gregorian date.”

Lu Jiaxin told her the Gregorian date.

Yu itong was shocked and said, “What, December 26 on the Gregorian calendar? My due date is December 20, your wedding is right when I’m in confinent.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t think of this point: “It’s okay, I know what’s in your heart.”

Yu itong mumbled, “Who picked this date? Why choose the end of the year? Either way, I could participate!”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “The master picked three auspicious dates, and I chose this one.”

If Nie Zhan had chosen, Yu itong might have complained, but since Jiaxin chose, there was nothing to say about it: “I hope by then I haven’t given birth yet.”

Lu Jiaxin was delighted: “I’ve arranged with Sister Shing, we’ll visit you on Saturday. Is there anything you’d like to eat? I’ll bring it for you.”

Yu itong said with a hint of disdain, “No, don’t bring anything. I can only eat vegetable porridge now; I can’t touch anything else. Tao Yong is worried about my nutrition and stead a bowl of egg custard for , but slling it made vomit bile.”

She suffered for no reason, and after vomiting, she scolded Tao Yong.

“Can’t you even sll the fragrance of flowers?”

Yu itong replied gloomily, “I can’t sll any scent. The gentleman upstairs likes to grow flowers, and he put them on the balcony recently to get sunlight. The fragrance made vomit.”

Worried the fragrance would keep drifting down, she had Tao Yong go upstairs to talk to them. They were reasonable and moved the flowers back to the original room upon learning the reason.

There’s no solution to pregnancy sickness; even after more than thirty years, nothing has solved it. Lu Jiaxin said, “Just hold on a bit longer, it’ll be fine after three months.”

Normally, symptoms disappear after three months, and eating becos enjoyable again. Of course, there are very rare cases where it’s due to physical reasons, and nothing can be done.

Yu itong knew Lu Jiaxin was busy, so after chatting for more than ten minutes, she hung up.

After work, Nie Zhan went to the old house, and as soon as he got out of the car, he heard a child crying. Nie Jingwen’s three children, the youngest was eight, so this could only be his half-sister.

Entering the living room, Nie Zhan realized the crying was coming from the backyard. He frowned and said, “The child cries all the ti; won’t it disturb Grandpa’s rest?”

How could it not? Since coming back, they discovered this child cried a lot, and even with the mother and daughter staying in the annex, the cries could be heard. However, since the Old Master didn’t say anything, no one dared speak up: “Third Young Master, the Old Master really likes Miss Nina, saying she looks a lot like you.”

Nie Zhan didn’t continue this topic but asked, “Where’s Grandpa?”

Upon hearing that Old Master Nie was on the second floor, Nie Zhan went up. Entering the room, he saw Old Master Nie reading a newspaper and gently called out, “Grandpa.”

Old Master Nie, expressionless, said, “What are you here for?”

Hearing this, Nie Zhan felt a pang of discomfort but knew he couldn’t compromise, as doing so would lead to endless trouble: “Jiaxin and I have set our wedding date for December 26th.”

Old Master Nie’s expression beca colder, with a questioning tone: “Last ti, it could be said you were young and didn’t understand. But this ti, why didn’t you consult with us before setting the date on your own? Nie Zhan, do you still regard us elders with respect?”

Nie Zhan apologized last ti, but this ti he didn’t: “Grandpa, if you think it’s not okay, then we won’t hold the wedding. Jiaxin and I will get married while traveling.”

This wasn’t a sudden thought but was ntioned by Jiaxin. Jiaxin felt that holding a wedding was too tiring, and getting married while traveling was more relaxing and intimate.

Old Master Nie was even angrier: “Now that you’re independent, you don’t even regard anymore.”

Nie Zhan knew why he was angry: “Grandpa, what do you want to do? Be like you, cleaning up after everything she does? Talking about consequences but never acting on them?”

“Grandpa, she’s your daughter, and if you want to forgive and indulge her, that’s your matter. But I can’t endlessly clean up her sses.”

Old Master Nie angrily said, “Nie Zhan, she’s your mom.”

In the past, Nie Zhan didn’t want to upset the Old Master, so he held back, but now he couldn’t: “My dad devoted himself to his research. When I started elentary school, he took leave especially to accompany for registration. He also attended my university entrance and graduation. And Mom? Before I started working and earning money, I t her only four tis, and those were tis she returned to ask you for money. Such a mother is better off absent.”

He never blad his father; his father was a workaholic. But even as a workaholic, he made ti for him on important occasions. Besides that, half of his annual salary was given to him. Last year, during his engagent to Jiaxin, it was a crucial research phase, so he couldn’t attend.

Old Master Nie paused; as an old-fashioned person, he still believed in the saying that there are no bad parents. He said, “Your mom has that kind of personality; she won’t change in this lifeti. Don’t hold a grudge against her.”

Nie Zhan wasn’t holding a grudge; he just didn’t want to indulge her anymore: “Grandpa, no need to say more. From now on, except for illnesses, I won’t handle any other matters.”
