Chapter 1381: The Meaning of the Tattoo (Part Seven)
‘Two days ago, he called me. He said that you’ve promised to marry him…’
It really surprised Xuxu when she heard what Yan Weihong said. It touched her heart as well.
It had never crossed her mind that he would be so excited and delighted regarding the proposal. He even had to call just to inform his father of the good news.
And he made a call to Yan Weihong even if they rarely seemed to talk or have much interaction with each other.
The bond between a father and a son runs deep indeed.
“Yan Weihong, when did that fellow call you? Why wasn’t I informed?” Mu Li replied with a frown. She then eyed Yan Weihong.
She couldn’t accept this fact.
She was much closer to their son and they usually talked more as well…
His proposal to Xuxu was a success, but why wasn’t she the first person to be informed?
Yan Weihong smirked as he glanced at Mu Li. He could barely conceal the triumph in his tone as he said, “You think too highly of yourself.”
Mu Li was speechless…
Yan Weihong didn’t give Mu Li any chance to rebut and he softly spoke, “When it’s Chinese New Year, invite your grandfather over to celebrate together. We can discuss the wedding, too.”
Xuxu felt a little shy and her face was crimson red. She put on a smile and said, “We already have children. Let’s… just have a simple wedding.”
She really didn’t have the intention to plan a grand or elaborate wedding. All she wanted was to stand beside him in a wedding gown.
She wanted to experience how it was to be a bride and to walk down the aisle with her loved one.
“It’s decided then.” Yan Weihong ignored Xuxu with a firm conclusion.
Xuxu nodded with an ‘Mm’.
It delighted Su Yue. “Third sister-in-law, I want to be your bridesmaid at your wedding with Third Brother.”
“Sounds good.” Mu Li nodded in approval at Su Yue’s suggestion. “Jiao Chen can be the best man, and both of you would look so compatible and perfect.”
Su Yue bent her head and whispered, “Second Aunt, I broke up with him.”
It startled Mu Li. “You broke up with Jiao Chen?”
“Yeah,” said Su Yue in a hushed tone.
Mu Li furrowed her eyebrows and pressed on. “Why did you break up?”
Without waiting for Su Yue to answer, in a deep voice, Yan Weihong said, “Isn’t it normal for young people these days to break up? Don’t make a fuss over it. Finish your food.”
Mu Li was an observant woman. Judging from Su Yue’s expression, she knew she wouldn’t get any answer from her. Hence she didn’t retort.
After breakfast, Su Yue left the house with two bulging bags of stuff. Xuxu gazed at her quietly—the words she was trying to say was stuck in her mouth.
The chauffeur was already waiting for her in the car. Su Yue turned around and waved goodbye to Xuxu. “Third sister-in-law, I’m leaving.”
After that, she raised her feet and walked towards the car.
“Yueyue!” Xuxu abruptly called out for her.
Su Yue stopped and warily asked, “Third sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”
Xuxu hesitated and pondered for a moment. “Ming Ansheng and you…”
Su Yue casually interjected, “Third sister-in-law, I’m dating Uncle Ming now.”
She may seem confident on the surface, but she was actually really anxious and nervous.
Xuxu wasn’t in the least surprised by her announcement. She merely put on a helpless and a faint smile.
“Got it.” She nodded and waved back. “Go to school.”
