Chapter 220 Arranging a Marriage Between Children

Yan Chengyu rolled over and pinned the man beneath him: "You have to get married, whether you like it or not!"

"You're forcing me!"

“I forced myself on him,” Yan Chengyu said. “Qu Jianhang, don’t mess with me. When I get angry, even I’m afraid of myself!”

Qu Jianhang could no longer hold on to his last breath.

He burst out laughing.

Yan Chengyu was taken aback at first, then pinched her cheek helplessly: "What am I supposed to do with you!"

"Anyway, I don't want to get married for now," Qu Jianhang said. "How about this, wait until I get the results..."

"No, we're getting married tomorrow." Yan Chengyu said, "Hanghang, no matter what your test results are, it won't affect my desire to marry you. I've thought it through; I'll gradually shift my focus from work to spending more time with you..."

"You want to step down from the front line again?"

"If... I mean if, you really have some health problem, then I'm sorry, I really can't leave you to go to work. Hanghang, put yourself in my shoes, if I were sick, would you still go to work?"

Qu Jianhang frowned: "Can you stop cursing yourself to be sick all the time? Also, I can agree to the marriage, but not tomorrow."

"Why?"

“I don’t like tomorrow.” Qu Jianhang raised his hand and touched his Adam’s apple: “Don’t worry, if anything happens to me, I won’t let you off the hook. Even if I lose all my hair, I will still be your most beautiful bride.”

"Qu Jianhang, remember what you said. If the results come out and you still refuse to marry me, I'll tie you up and take you with me!"

"What, is the dignified Secretary Yan going to seize it by force?"

"You can give it a try."

Qu Jianhang reached out and hooked his neck: "I want to try it now."

"Stop it..."

Qu Jianhang pulled him down: "Yan Chengyu, how do you manage to remain unmoved? You're clearly hard..."

"Shut up." Yan Chengyu pulled her hand away, rolled over onto the bed, and pulled her into his arms: "Go to sleep."

Qu Jianhang nestled against her obediently.

Yan Chengyu patted her back: "Hanghang, from now on, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to hide anything from me."

Qu Jianhang hummed in agreement.

Lately, she's been feeling stressed and conflicted; she's had a terrible time.

Now that I've opened my heart and am being held in a man's arms, I feel incredibly safe and secure.

Soon, her breathing became deep and even, and her sleeping face became peaceful.

Yan Chengyu watched her quietly for an unknown amount of time before quietly getting up and leaving the bedroom.

He displayed composure, strength, and nonchalance in front of Qu Jianhang.

It's all a disguise.

In fact, he still can't accept the fact that Qu Jianhang might be sick.

Qu Jianhang woke up to find that the person next to him was nowhere to be seen.

She hasn't been sleeping well lately; she wakes up easily at the slightest noise.

She got out of bed and left the bedroom. In the dim light outside, she saw the figure sitting on the sofa from behind.

Why is Yan Chengyu sitting there in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Qu Jianhang didn't make a sound until she heard a short sob.

Yan Chengyu cried.

Qu Jianhang's heart tightened.

She deliberately made a little noise, strode over, sat on the armrest of the sofa, and hugged the man in her arms.

Yan Chengyu buried his head in her chest and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Aren't you silly?" Qu Jianhang patted his head. "If others knew that Secretary Yan stayed up all night and secretly hid here to cry, you would lose all face."

Yan Chengyu didn't speak, he just held her tightly.

"I really am..." Qu Jianhang stroked his hair down and touched his ear: "You said you didn't know what to do with me, but I don't know what to do with you."

Yan Chengyu remained silent.

Qu Jianhang sighed, "I give up. What time does the Civil Affairs Bureau open?"

Yan Chengyu then looked up at her.

Qu Jianhang looked down and saw his red eyes and the tears that hadn't been wiped away.

"Do you keep your word?"

Qu Jianhang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Your eyes are swollen from crying, they won't look good in the marriage certificate photo, and I might change my mind later."

Yan Chengyu stood up, patted her shoulder, and then strode towards the bathroom.

Qu Jianhang followed him and saw him washing his face.

After washing, he looked up and braced his hands on the sink.

Looking in the mirror, he said, "It's okay, there's no swelling."

He went to see Qu Jianhang: "You can't go back on your word."

Qu Jianhang stepped forward and hugged him: "You said you'd get the marriage certificate in the morning, pamper me in the afternoon, and you can't go back on your word."

Lin Xiyin was surprised to receive a message from Qu Jianhang.

She said: Ruan Ruan, I'm married.

Then they sent me a photo of a marriage certificate.

On the marriage certificate, she and Yan Chengyu tilted their heads slightly, leaning towards each other, both with smiles on their lips.

I don't know if it's the camera angle, but both of their eyes look a little red.

Lin Xiyin was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

When she came to her senses, she quickly called Qu Jianhang.

"Mom!" Her voice was filled with surprise. "Is it true? You and Uncle Yan got your marriage certificate?"

Qu Jianhang laughed and said, "I've already sent you the photos, how could they be fake? Do you think I could forge a marriage certificate?"

"That's great!" Lin Xiyin said with a smile. "Mom, congratulations on you and Uncle Yan! Are you with Uncle Yan? I want to say a few words to him."

Qu Jianhang put the phone on speakerphone: "Go ahead and say it, he's right next to me."

"Uncle Yan!" Lin Xiyin said, "Congratulations!"

Yan Chengyu's voice also carried a smile: "Thank you. Ruanruan, from now on, I'll take care of your mother."

Lin Xiyin said a few more words of blessing, and after obtaining their consent, she hung up the phone and couldn't wait to share the good news with Pei Muyi and Xiao Ruoyi.

Pei Muye was probably busy and didn't reply to the message.

Xiao Ruoyi called immediately: "Ruanruan, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course! I saw the marriage certificate!"

"That's wonderful!" Xiao Ruoyi said while eating pine nuts. "Oh my, this is such a joyous occasion! Are Auntie and the others going to have a wedding?"

"I didn't ask," Lin Xiyin said. "With Uncle Yan's status, we can't have a big celebration, can we?"

"Could we have a small event?" Xiao Ruoyi said. "I want to attend the wedding!"

After Lin Xiyin returned to China, she met Xiao Ruoyi many times.

While she was abroad, her only worry was Xiao Ruoyi.

Fortunately, Xiao Ruoyi hasn't been vomiting much lately.

Or rather, she vomited less and less, and her diet returned to normal.

I've finally gained some weight and am no longer frighteningly thin.

Her due date is in three months, and her current weight is not as high as it was before she got pregnant.

After all, I've been vomiting for so long and lost dozens of pounds; it's not something I can recover all at once.

However, Huo Xianyang was relieved to find that all of her physical indicators had returned to normal.

The baby in my belly is developing very well.

After persisting for so long, everyone is finally happy.

Lin Xiyin laughed and said, "When you threw up before, you couldn't stand the smell of another person in the room. Now you've become bolder and even want to attend weddings."

“My body was sensitive back then,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “Now I’m no different from a normal person. Maybe I’ve suffered enough before, and God doesn’t want to torment me anymore. But when this little guy comes out, I’m definitely going to spank him!”

"Is Huo Xianyang willing to spend that much?"

"I'm willing to do it, but he said I can hit any boy I want, but if it's a girl, I can't hit her. Pshaw, I won't listen to him. I'll hit her whether it's a boy or a girl. But, Ruanruan, if I give birth to a girl, should we arrange a marriage between our children?"

Lin Xiyin laughed and said, "Why are you still thinking about this?"

"It's a double blessing," Xiao Ruoyi said. "My godson is so wonderful, I can't bear to let him become someone else's son-in-law in the future. So, if I have a girl, she'll be mine!"

“Okay,” Lin Xiyin said. “You can decide whatever you want. I’ll love whatever you have.”

"Okay!" Xiao Ruoyi said with a smile, "Then you must tell me if Uncle and Aunt are having a wedding!"

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone, and Xiao Ruoyi was very happy.

Huo Xianyang came out to check on her during his work and saw her humming a song. He couldn't help but ask, "What's making you so happy?"

"Let me tell you, Ruanruan's mom, that is, Aunt Qu, she got her marriage certificate today!"

"With Secretary Yan?" Many people know about this.

Huo Xianyang was somewhat surprised.

So fast?

"Yeah, who else could it be? That's great."

Seeing Xiao Ruoyi's emotional expression, he sat down beside her and said, "Look, Aunt Qu has already gotten her marriage certificate, so it's our turn..."

"What do you mean, 'the two of us'?" Xiao Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him. "I don't have that idea."

"You," Huo Xianyang said, exasperated, "aren't you envious?"

"What's there to envy? Everyone has their own way of living."

"Then I'll prepare a gift and send it over."

“Okay,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “By the way, I just arranged a marriage between Ruan Ruan and me.”

"An arranged marriage? You're so sure you'll have a daughter?"

"What if? There's a fifty percent chance, isn't there?"

"Why bring this up now?" Huo Xianyang said. "What era are we living in? Still talking about arranged marriages between children? Besides, when our baby is born, Youyou will already be four years old. There's too much of a gap."

"Four years old is too much?" Xiao Ruoyi looked at him strangely: "You're five years older than me!"

"Anyway, I don't think it's appropriate," Huo Xianyang said. "If it really is a daughter, she's so young. What if she doesn't like it when she grows up?"

"Oh, if you don't like it, just say so. Youyou is so outstanding and beautiful, and Ruanruan and I are so good together. How are we not good enough for your daughter?"

Huo Xianyang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have a son."

Xiao Ruoyi kicked him: "You just want a son, right?"

Huo Xianyang carefully grasped her leg: "Slow down! Don't move so much!"

"I should have known long ago that your family has a throne to inherit, so you need to have a son!" Xiao Ruoyi snorted. "You wish! Whether I have a son or a daughter, they are mine alone and have nothing to do with your Huo family!"

Huo Xianyang looked at her with doting eyes: "Alright, alright, it has nothing to do with the Huo family. How about I change my name to Xiao Xianyang and take your surname?"

"Who wants you?" Xiao Ruoyi said with a look of disgust. "I don't have a son as big as you!"

Huo Xianyang laughed uncontrollably: "We'll do whatever you say. Our baby will take your surname, not Huo's."

Xiao Ruoyi said, "It doesn't matter what the surname is. I'm going to find a nice-sounding name. Any surname will do."

Huo Xianyang looked at her: "You can do that?"
