Su Chen was worried that she might not be used to it since they had not been separated since they got married, so he felt a little uneasy about this.
“Don’t worry. I can take care of myself. You should worry more about yourself over there.”
Su Chen felt it was useless expressing his concern about this any longer. “Sure, I’ll keep that in mind. Also, let’s have our wedding when I get back. It should be towards the end of June. I asked my parents to pick a date, so just be prepared to be a bride on that day.”
Su Chen was a decisive person who would put his plan into action once he made a decision.
“Our w-wedding?” Ji Zitong was stunned and not sure how to react.
Su Chen nodded. “The wedding, our wedding. We delayed it because you said so, but now I want one. I know you’re worried it’ll be troublesome, so I told my family to handle everything. Just wait for me to come back and get ready to be my bride. We’ll be taking the wedding photographs next month as well.”
“Didn’t you agree to delay the wedding or even not have it at all? Why all of a sudden…?” Ji Zitong was confused.
“That’s in the past. I can’t make my woman look bad, can I? A wedding dress, flowers, and a grand wedding…Aren’t those the dreams of all women in the world?”
Su Chen smiled. At that very moment, Ji Zitong could feel a warm feeling spreading throughout her body. It was an unstoppable warmth.
“Alright then. Thank you, Su Chen.” She had mixed feelings inside as she looked at him seriously.
She would definitely be lying if she said she never even thought about it before. However, no matter how imaginative she could be, she never thought the one to give these to her would be Su Chen who used to be against her in the past instead of Dong Wentao, the man she was in love with before.
There would always be something that you could not get no matter how hard you tried, but some things would find their way to you no matter how hard you pushed it away. That was fate.
Su Chen stopped what he was doing and looked at Ji Zitong with a frown when he heard her reply. “What did you say just now?” His tone sounded aggressive.
Ji Zitong understood what he meant and she smiled. “I said I’m very happy, Chief Su.”
“It just doesn’t feel right to hear you saying ‘Chief Su’. My name is Su Chen. You can only call me by my name in the future. It’ll be an invasion of rights if you call me any other name without my permission.” He gave her a cool glance as he spoke without any expression.
Ji Zitong glanced back at him and shrugged. “You have another exclusive name to me. It’s the one and only.”
“What?” Su Chen raised his eyebrows curiously.
Ji Zitong was still holding her chopsticks as she put on a fake smile and said in a childish tone, “Hubby…”
Su Chen almost spat out his rice. His face turned really red as he looked at Ji Zitong. Goosebumps rose all over him even though the room was warm.
That was what Xie Jiajia called Su Zhengxun at home, and Su Zhengxun would scold her every time. Finally, he finally understood how his father felt.
Ji Zitong was satisfied with his reaction. She leaned back on the chair as she enjoyed the view.
…
The next morning, Su Chen was awoken by his alarm clock. It was 6.10 a.m. which was his usual waking time.
He got out of bed quickly and grabbed a sleeping robe to put on. Then, he picked up the scattered clothes on the ground and tidied the messy bed. Ji Zitong was exhausted because of how wild they had gone last night.
Su Chen hastily picked a casual outfit and got into the bathroom. He was done in just fifteen minutes. To his surprise, Ji Zitong already got up when he came out of the shower.
“Why don’t you sleep longer? Isn’t your shop opening at 10 a.m.?” Su Chen walked over and put his tie on as he asked.
Ji Zitong ran her fingers through her messy long hair. “My mother is getting discharged today and I want to get up to see you off as well.” She then walked into the bathroom.
Su Chen was preparing breakfast when she got out. He always woke up early and come back late at night. She used to think that he got to such a high position at a young age because of his family background, but after living with him, she realized that was not true at all. He was similar to Chairman Mu. Stubborn and prideful, they had their own ideas.
After breakfast, she asked him by the door with mixed emotions in her eyes, “When are you coming back?”
“Not sure. A week or two if things get done quickly, or else it might take a whole month. The inspection area is kind of large this time, but don’t worry. I’ll definitely be back before our wedding,” Su Chen took the car keys from her as he replied.
Ji Zitong noticed his tie was slightly crooked, so she went up and fixed it for him as she spoke, “Before the wedding? Have we decided on the date already?”
