Chapter 169 Am I your husband?

Hu Jun was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously glanced at Zhou Lan, who was completely invisible over there.

He nodded and smiled, "That's right. Since you're here, why not take her back with you? My mother worked hard all her life to raise us. Now that things are more or less settled here, it's time to take her over to enjoy her retirement."

Hearing this, Auntie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "That's right. They say raising children is for old age security. Our in-laws have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Their son and daughter are both successful."

"No, no, Lily is still better than me."

Lily was also somewhat surprised that Hu Jun would say such a thing. Had he changed his ways? Or had he had a change of heart?

It's unbelievable that he would actually want to take Zhou Lan with him.

Even Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised. She quietly left the group's chat and walked to Qin Ce's side.

"Qin Ce, what did your lawyer friend say to Hu Jun?"

Qin Ce casually found a chair, sat down, and shook his head, saying, "I'm not quite sure."

"Could he have threatened Hu Jun? If so, even if he does take the old woman over, he won't treat her well."

Qin Ce took her hand and made her sit down beside him. "Alright, don't think too much about it. In any case, the matter is resolved, so don't worry about other people's business."

Qiao Xing nodded: "I wasn't worried, I was just asking."

Tonight, we had dinner with our relatives from this area. I didn't expect that there would be three tables occupied.

When it comes to weddings, as long as the relationship isn't too distant, there's no need to deliberately notify everyone; people will spread the word and the wedding will happen on its own.

Everyone stayed at the hotel that night.

Anyway, Jiang Wang booked the entire hotel from the fourth floor down. Although he himself didn't have any money, his parents did.

He went back and told his parents that Qin Ce was going to hold a wedding. Of course, his parents supported him and even personally helped him contact the hotel owner.

The wedding planning company is also owned by his family.

It can be said that this wedding was held to the highest standards, and everyone who came to the dinner had to give it a thumbs up.

Many of my uncle and aunt's relatives, including some young people, heard that the wedding was a big affair and wanted to come and see just how big it was.

After arriving, I suddenly felt like I had never seen the world before.

With the bridesmaids Lily found, two floors of the four-story hotel were full.

Qiao Xing also stayed at the hotel that night. Although the wedding was held at the hotel, it still followed the normal procedures.

Lily has to get up at four or five in the morning to put on makeup and so on. Then she leaves at eight and drives around Chongqing several times.

Qiao Xing was pondering how many gifts they should send tomorrow.

"Qin Ce, how much money should we give as a gift?"

Qin Ce was working on his computer over there, not even looking up, saying, "I don't understand your customs."

“In our area, close relatives usually pay around 500, but for my cousin and me, 500 seems a bit low.”

"Then I'll give you five thousand."

Qiao Xing was stunned. Five thousand... that's too much.

That's almost half a month's salary for her.

But five thousand seems reasonable, it's about right.

"I don't have that much money on me right now. How about I go get some now? There's an ATM across the street." Qiao Xing stood up to leave, then remembered something else, "I forgot to buy red envelopes too, oh dear!"

"Wait a minute," Qin Ce suddenly called out to her.

Qiao Xing turned to look at him, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

Qin Ce picked up the briefcase next to him, took out a large red envelope from it, and handed it to her, saying, "Take this."

Qiao Xing stared wide-eyed in surprise, "When did you prepare this?"

“Count them a couple of days ago.”

Qiao Xing quickly took the red envelope, took out the money from it, counted it, and found that it actually contained ten thousand yuan.

"You gave me a 10,000 yuan package?"

Qin Ce said, "If you think it's too much, then take out five thousand."

"Hmm..." Qiao Xing started counting the money again, but then she felt uneasy and stopped. "Maybe we should just forget about it."

Seeing her struggling with the situation, Qin Ce couldn't help but chuckle. "Anyway, it's up to you. You decide what to do."

Qiao Xing scratched his head.

Giving away 10,000 yuan is too extravagant, but since it's already been put in, she feels a little embarrassed to take it out again.

Qin Ce stopped working, got up, sat on the bed, took the red envelope, and sealed it.

"Alright, ten thousand it is. Anyway, your husband can make money."

Qiao Xing blushed slightly upon hearing this. She pushed the man away and snatched the red envelope from his hand, saying, "Get away."

"Where do you want me to go?" Instead of leaving, he moved closer to her. "Tell me, am I your husband?"

Qiao Xing turned her head away from him and reached out to push him away, saying, "Hey, stop messing around."

Qin Ce grabbed her hand and pulled her closer. "Tell me, is that right?"

Qiao Xing's ears started burning again. She tugged at them a couple of times but couldn't budge them, so she whispered, "Yes!"

What is it?

"It's my husband..."

Qin Ce raised an eyebrow and moved even closer to her, their faces almost touching. "What did you say? I didn't hear you. Say it again."

His voice was deep and magnetic, making Qiao Xing's ears itch.

Qiao Xing glared at him, "You, you're going too far."

He raised the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice, "If you don't tell me, I might do something even worse."

Qiao Xing bit her lip, her face flushed, and forced back her shame as she called out, "...Husband."

His smile deepened as he stared intently at her face. "Say it again."

"..."

"Um?"

Qiao Xing couldn't take it anymore, and she pushed the man away forcefully, saying, "Go back to your work!"

Qin Ce looked at her cheeks, which were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and stopped teasing her. He stood up and went back to work overtime.

Qiao Xing glanced at his face, which had returned to normal, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was too lazy to worry about how much money to give in the red envelope. She crawled into bed, covered her head, and went to sleep.

She set her alarm for 5 a.m. the next day and got up on time.

Qiao Xing saw Qin Ce sitting on the sofa, his arms crossed, his eyes closed, it was hard to tell whether he was asleep or deep in thought.

She got up quietly, covered him with the blanket, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Qiao Xing went out and arrived at the large suite where Lily and the others lived. The door was open, and there were many people inside.

She was Lily's bridesmaid. Qiao Xing could hear voices inside even before she went in.

"I never would have guessed that Lily's husband is a hidden millionaire."

"Right? You were advising Lily to break up with him soon. Luckily she didn't, or she would have lost out big time."

"How would I know that these rich people nowadays like to play the 'pretending to be weak while actually being strong' game?"

"That's great. Lily has finally made it through and found her life partner. Only the rest of us sisters are still single."

"Aren't there going to be groomsmen later? You'd better hurry up and grab whichever one you like. Lily's husband is so rich, the groomsmen can't be too bad, right?"

The group chattered amongst themselves, but Lily remained silent.

They probably don't know that, apart from Wang Ye, all the best men are indeed wealthy.

Because he was from Jiang Wang's side, and seeing how considerate Jiang Wang was, when he heard that Lily had found eight bridesmaids while everyone Wang Ye knew was married and couldn't find any groomsmen, he generously called ten groomsmen for Wang Ye.
