Chapter 699: Chapter 699 I’m Getting Married Chapter 699: Chapter 699 I’m Getting Married Ning Xueling stood at the entrance of the Wei Family’s gate, listening to the laughter coming from the living room. She leaned against the door, looking up at the night sky, and repeatedly asked herself if she was wrong, as two streams of tears flowed down.
The Yuan Family members were chatting after dinner when Old Master Yuan said, “Qiaoqiao called earlier, she got her admission notice. She wants us all to get together for a meal the day after tomorrow, to celebrate the occasion.”
Yuan Jianing stood up from his seat, “Grandpa, which university did Qiaoqiao get into?”
Old Master Yuan laughed, “Beijing Medical University. She could have gone to Capital University or Tsinghua with her scores, but she likes medicine, so she followed her heart and chose Beijing Medical University.”
Yuan Jianing was genuinely happy for Luo Qiao, “Qiaoqiao is really amazing. She sets her mind to it and she does it. Let’s all go the day after tomorrow then.”
While everyone was happily discussing, Yuan Weicheng returned.
Yuan Jianing asked, “Little Uncle, you’re back?”
Song Huizhen, the eldest sister-in-law, also stood up, “I’ll make you a bowl of noodles. We’ve still got some bone soup.”
Yuan Weicheng nodded, “Thank you, Sister-in-law.”
Old Master Yuan looked at his youngest son, “Why are you back?”
Yuan Weicheng poured himself a glass of water, “From the way you talk, do you not want me back?”
Old Master Yuan said, “What are you doing back if you haven’t found a bride?”
Yuan Weicheng chuckled, “That’s why I’m here.”
Old Master Yuan suddenly became excited, “Are you serious this time?”
Yuan Weicheng looked at his father, “Dad, the way you say it, as if I’m a playboy.”
Old Master Yuan rolled his eyes, “You’re almost thirty, what’s there to be aggrieved about?”
Yuan Weicheng stood up, gave his father a solemn military salute, “Reporting, I am preparing to get married. The report has been filed, I came to inform the family.”
Old Master Yuan suddenly slammed the table, “That’s more like it. If you like someone, you should marry her quickly, no dilly-dallying.”
Yuan Weicheng had already discussed with Xu Yuqing; she would come to recognize the family tomorrow, they would offer the betrothal gifts the day after, and once the marriage report was approved, they would choose an auspicious day for the wedding.
Old Master Yuan said, “Great, great, great, make sure to call your second brother and have them come back tomorrow without fail.”
Now, there were lots of happy events coming up, and everyone would be busy in the next few days.
Lu Yichen had dinner at the Luo Family and was just about to leave when Luo Qiao reminded him, “Have Grandpa and the others come over the day after tomorrow to join in the fun.”
Lu Yichen held Luo Qiao’s hand, “Okay.”
Luo Qiao saw him to the gate, “Stone should be returning from the military tomorrow, right? You really are something, making him spend his whole summer vacation in military training camp, he must be tanned to a crisp by now.”
Lu Yichen replied, “Yeah, he should be back by eleven tomorrow. It’s good for a boy to go through some toughening up.”
Luo Qiao said, “I haven’t seen Stone in so long, that little rascal better not have forgotten about me.”
Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao with a hint of jealousy, “Still calling him a little rascal? By now, Stone is as tall as you, he’s already a grown man.”
Luo Qiao laughed, “Seems like he’s grown quite a bit in the past half year.”
After sending off Lu Yichen and returning to the living room, the phone rang.
Luo Xuyuan answered the call, “Hello, who’s this, who are you looking for?”
“Could you please get Luo Qiao?”
“Qiaoqiao, it’s for you.”
“Hello, who is this?”
“Qiaoqiao, it’s me, Xu Yuqing.”
“Sister Xu, what’s up?”
“Qiaoqiao, Yuan Weicheng is taking me to his home tomorrow, and I’m a bit nervous. Will you be there?”
“Oh, I see, sure, I’ll come over tomorrow. It’s a happy occasion, and the Yuan Family are easy to get along with, so don’t worry. Maybe it won’t be long before I’ll have to start calling you Little Aunt, right?”
“Stop teasing me. Yuan Weicheng said the marriage report has been filed and once it’s approved, they’ll set the date. Don’t you think it’s a bit too rushed?��
“Not at all. Don’t you think about how old Little Uncle Yuan is and how anxious Grandpa Yuan is? Little Uncle Yuan is a good man with a good temper, just give in to him.”
Xu Yuqing laughed on the other end of the line, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. If he treats me poorly in the future, you’ll have to take my side and set him straight.”
Luo Qiao laughed heartily on her end, “Don’t worry. Whether Little Uncle Yuan will become a henpecked husband I don’t know, but he will definitely be a loving one.”
