Chu Jiangyi had been a devoted admirer for six years. One day in his junior year, he overheard her saying...
"He's just a backup, how could I ever take him seriously? How could I give...
"What do you two have to talk about, being three years apart in age?"
Chu Jiangning was unconvinced and pointed at the two sweet-looking people, "They are two years apart in age, but they still get along very well, don't they?"
Yu Xuehui was quite helpless and speechless. They were only two or three years apart, so they were practically the same age.
It's perfectly normal for kids to have things to talk about.
Perhaps she's being petty.
The topic shifted to Chu Jiangning, and then to Chu Jiangyi and Xi Ran, since these two are the main characters.
"Ranran! You're getting ready to register your marriage with Jiang Yi, should we pick a time to pay you a visit?"
Xi Ran instinctively refused, "No need, I appreciate your kindness, but my mother's condition isn't stable, so please don't come..."
She didn't want Lin Bifan to have any contact with Uncle Chu and Aunt Yu at all; Lin Bifan was the only bit of dignity she had left.
Yu Xuehui was quite helpless. The two children were about to get their marriage certificate, and it would be a bit unreasonable not to visit their mother-in-law.
“How can this be? According to etiquette, we as parents should go over there.”
Chu Jiang also advised, "Mom and Dad, you shouldn't go there. Aunt's condition is quite serious, and she can't see strangers. Xi Ran and I will go back the day after tomorrow. After all, we married someone else's daughter, so we should let her know."
Yu Xuehui and Chu Wentao nodded in satisfaction.
“That’s right. No matter how serious the illness of your mother-in-law is, it’s only right to tell her.”
"knew!"
“If it’s inconvenient, your father and I won’t go. You can drive back the day after tomorrow. Your father and I will prepare some gifts and put them in the trunk. We should show you the proper etiquette.”
"knew!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Silly child, you'll be my daughter-in-law after tomorrow, so don't be so formal."
Xi Ran nodded.
The wedding arrangements had been finalized, and everyone returned to their rooms.
Xi Ran and Chu Jiang also returned home, turned around and stammered, not knowing how to start the conversation.
"Just say what you have to say, there's no need to be so formal."
"Let me go back by myself the day after tomorrow. I know you don't like Lin Bifan, so don't force yourself."
Chu Jiang also patted Xi Ran's head, "After we got our marriage certificate, we'll be one. Now that I've married you, I'll slowly learn to accept everything about your family. Lin Bifan is indeed unlikable. No matter how much she scolds me, I won't talk back. After all, I have to pay a price for marrying her daughter."
Xi Ran hugged Chu Jiangyi tightly, deeply moved. "Thank you! If you feel really uncomfortable listening to this the day after tomorrow, feel free to criticize me however you like, I have no objection."
Chu Jiang also shook his head, "Forget it! I don't want you to be unhappy either. No matter what, I will give in to her. It's too low to argue with her. If it's really unbearable to hear, I'm already prepared."
Xi Ran frowned. "What preparations?"
"I'll bring my earplugs with me the day after tomorrow. No matter how much Lin Bifan curses me, I'll just listen to music. I can't hear anything anyway, so I'll just treat it like a turtle chanting scriptures..."
Xi Ran chuckled. He really knew how to come up with such a nasty trick.
"Don't waste your energy on people who aren't worth it, let's celebrate!"
"ah?"
What are we celebrating?
"Let's celebrate getting our marriage certificate tomorrow!"
As soon as Chu Jiang finished speaking, he picked the person up and carried them inside.
Xi Ran shyly buried her face in Chu Jiangyi's arms.
Shameless! He's getting more and more shameless.
