“After you get married, make an effort to build a relationship with him. He’ll provide the best life for you and your child.”
Wang Xiangyun told her many things. Little Tian was so moved by her lady’s concern that it was her turn to cry.
How lucky she was to have such a wonderful employer!
She had been sold to the Wang manor at a young age. After many rounds of training and careful selection, she was assigned to serve Wang Xiangyun. She never thought the lady would treat her like family, be so protective of her, and even miss her already before she had even left.
Similarly, Wang Xiangyun let tears roll down her face as she talked. Her heart broke at the thought of parting, but at the same time, she was happy for Little Tian, who could live happily ever after in her own home.
In the end, Wang Xiangyun said in between sobs, “Little Tian, as you know, Brother Ming has no feelings for me, but I’m head over heels in love with him!
“After you get married to Ming Yan, i-if Brother Ming fancies anyone, or plans to marry some other girl, you have to inform me, alright? Even if I can’t marry him and become his wife, I want to consider whether the woman is worthy of him!”
Little Tian sighed. My lady, why can’t you let it go? What’s there for you to consider? You’ll just get your heart broken again and again.
That was what she thought, but Little Tian nodded all the same. “Sure, I’ll be on the lookout for Master Dongfang’s news.”
They ate shortly after that, then set off to the clothing store.
When Ming Yan arrived at the inn, Dongfang Ming and the Ye family were having lunch.
He entered the private room and whispered something in Dongfang Ming’s ear, before retreating to the side, waiting for his reply.
“Sure. Do what you have to. I’ll head back on my own later,” Dongfang Ming said to him.
From what Ming Yan told him, he believed Little Tian’s decision not to abort the baby was a rational move. After all, the child was innocent!
Any woman, upon pregnancy, would lean towards the child’s favor and would compromise everything that they had originally opposed.
And so, Ming Yan politely excused himself and left the inn again.
He had to spend the money he had saved up all these years to get a house for his future family, and to tie the knot with Little Tian three days from then.
“Little Duo, Ye brothers, may I ask if you’re in a hurry to return to Anping town? Ming Yan is getting married in three days. Would you stay for the wedding banquet?” Dongfang Ming asked with a smile on his face.
His good friend and subordinate was getting married. Whether or not he and his wife were the perfect match, their willingness to take this step for the baby was still worth celebrating!
Er…
The gang blinked. What was going on? Why was there suddenly going to be a wedding?
Surprise aside, Ye Liu responded with a smile too. “If that’s the case, we’d be happy to attend the banquet before leaving. Get some luck, you know.”
They chatted for a while after lunch, then Liu Duo went upstairs for a nap.
Dongfang Ming invited Ye Yang and Ye Liu to follow him elsewhere, while Ye Mo and Ye Ling stayed behind.
One wanted to stay with Liu Duo, the other said he did not want to move.
“Duo Er, what present should we get Brother Ming for the wedding?” Ye Ling asked gently.
Ye Mo’s mind was not on that. “Wife, shouldn’t we be leaving in a few days?”
He thought they ought to set off for home three days later, after the wedding. He was beginning to feel homesick.
Liu Duo was sitting on the bed, massaging her legs. “What present should we get? I have no idea. We can discuss it with Yang and Liu when they get back.”
