She hurriedly entered and discovered that everyone was sitting on the couch. She asked, “Father, what are you objecting to?”
Long Tianze quickly stood up and said, “Your father-in-law wants you two to have two children, but I want three!”
Long Xiaoxi had broken out in a sweat. “Father, three is not enough. I want ten children.”
Jin Yiheng chimed in, “Yeah, Father-in-law, Xiaoxi told me today that she wants to have ten children.”
Everyone stared at Long Xiaoxi with their eyes wide open in shock. Long Xiaoxi glared at Jin Yiheng and chastised, “Stop being nosy,”
Long Tianze said, “Xiaoxi, we may all love children but don’t turn yourself into a baby-making machine. You should know when to stop. I’ll really take pity on you.”
“Father, I was just making a casual remark… how can I possibly give birth to ten children? Can’t you tell that it was just a joke?” Long Xiaoxi explained.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao asked softly, “Xuan Yin, are they Rongyan’s parents?”
After taking a glance at her in-laws, Long Xiaoxi answered, “Yeah.”
“They look so young… I can’t tell their age at all.”
Long Xiaoxi chuckled and said, “My mother-in-law is two years older than my mother. Are you starting to think that my mother looks older?”
“Yeah… she looks way too young for her age…”
An Xiaoning said, “Xiaoxi, your mother and I have discussed your wedding. We’ve decided to hold it in two weeks’ time. What do you think?”
Jin Yiheng said, “Mother, two weeks is too long to wait. Three days would be best.”
Everyone burst into laughter while Long Xiaoxi chastised, “It’s not long at all! I actually find it way too soon!”
Jin Yiheng said unrestrainedly, “You’re already mine. There’s no need to wait so long to go through the formalities. It’s better to get it done as soon as possible.”
“…”
Mei Yangyang said, “Since Yiheng wants it to be done as soon as possible, we’ll do just that. However, it might be a little rushed. You won’t have time to get the wedding photos taken.”
“Mother-in-law, we can get the photos taken in one day. We just have to pay a little more.”
Mei Yangyang said, “If only you were that proactive in marrying Xiaoxi back then. She wouldn’t have left to live abroad for so many years. Look how eager you are now.”
“Mother-in-law, I was wrong.”
“Mother, Yiheng has already agreed to apologize to me publicly and make a vow too,” said Long Xiaoxi.
“Yes, Xiaoxi is right.”
The parents looked at him in shock, after which he explained what he had to apologize and make a promise about.
Mei Yangyang said, “There’s no need for that… your father-in-law and I know what kind of a person you are. We believe that you’re serious this time.”
“But I still have to do it to put Xiaoxi’s mind at ease.”
An Xiaoning looked at her son and said, “You shall see to it, then. You’re an adult now and you have to be responsible for your own words and actions.”
….
The wedding was set to be held in three days.
The group of childhood friends gathered for dinner.
Long Xiaoxi and Li Xiaoxiao arrived to see that Ji Gui and Jin Rongyan were already there.
Upon the sight of Li Xiaoxiao, Jin Rongyan asked with a frown, “Why did you bring her along?”
Long Xiaoxi said, “Xiaoxiao is here to accompany me.”
Ji Gui jested, “Hahaha, isn’t this the woman who confessed to you during the modeling contest?” He asked Li Xiaoxiao, “Do you fancy Rongyan? Why? He’s a workaholic. He’s not romantic at all.”
“The fact that he’s a workaholic doesn’t bother me at all. I just fancy him.”
Feeling a little awkward, Jin Rongyan picked up a glass of liquor and downed it before saying, “I’m going out for a while. Call me when Yiheng and Wenlun are here.”
Li Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed him out.
Long Xiaoxi and Ji Gui were left alone in the room.
“Actually, you don’t have to deny it. We can all tell that you still love him. The eyes don’t lie, Xiaoxi. You’re seriously so loyal,” Ji Gui said with a grin.
Long Xiaoxi said, “I just feel that destiny is out to play a prank on me.”
“Just be contented with what you have. Yiheng is such a rare find. You have no idea how many women he’s rejected after you left for abroad. We thought that he would start afresh and get into a new relationship after canceling your engagement. However, he didn’t. I heard from Rongyan that he had picked up the engagement gift again. He must have still carried feelings for you since you two grew up together. He probably didn’t figure his feelings out and merely thought that he only treated you like his sister. Which lunatic would still sleep on the same bed as their sister even when they’re already teenagers?”
Long Xiaoxi looked at him and said, “But it still hurts whenever I think about it…”
“Time will heal everything. You’ve already gotten married and you two have a proper sex life now. You’ve got a long way ahead…”
“Dummy! Who told you that… we… have a proper sex life?”
Ji Gui rolled his eyes and asked, “I don’t need anyone to tell me. Look at your own neck.”
Upon the sight of the hickeys on her neck, she turned as red as a tomato instantly. She hurriedly zipped her jacket up all the way, causing Ji Gui to burst into laughter.
“It’s too late. I’ve already seen it. I’m afraid Rongyan and your parents have too…”
Long Xiaoxi was red with embarrassment. She felt extremely ashamed!
It’s all Jin Yiheng’s fault!
As soon as Jin Yiheng entered, Long Xiaoxi kicked him forcefully, causing him to be overwhelmed with pain. “Why did you kick me?”
“Look at this!” She unzipped her jacket to expose her neck. She continued, “Dummy was laughing his heart out at me. Father and Mother saw them too!”
He pulled the zipper of her jacket up and said, “What’s wrong with that? We’re all adults.”
Ji Gui chimed in, “Yeah, yeah, we’re all adults. Is it really appropriate for you to say such things in front of someone like me who’s only ten years old at heart!?!”
Jin Yiheng sat down on the chair and sneered, “You’re so shameless.”
“I’ve already been shameless for years. It doesn’t matter.”
Long Xiaoxi said, “Yeah, it doesn’t matter. After all, he doesn’t have a wife anyway.”
Ji Gui picked up the menu and said, “I want to order some food. I want to order some food. Since it’s Yiheng’s treat, I shall order expensive dishes. Hmph!”
