Upon hearing her words, Xu Yan inexplicably thought of a line from a TV drama.

Your good fortune is yet to come.

She forced a smile, but couldn't manage it.

Li Aihua then started again, "Xie Laosan is so lucky. I was worried about what he would do after being publicly jilted, and then you showed up."

"Look at him, so handsome, with such great skin and hands, he's destined for a life of luxury..."

Xu Yan was a little overwhelmed by the praise, and she tried to pull her hand away from where it was being held.

Xie Zhuo probably noticed her movement, walked over and raised his hand to block her, "Sister-in-law, is there something you need?"

Li Aihua paused, looking somewhat embarrassed, and released Xu Yan's hand.

But she just wouldn't say a word, and Xie Zhuo was getting a little impatient. Finally, Li Aihua managed to say, "If you're going to take Da Bao and Xiao Bao out for a ride later, could you also take our Xiao Shuanzi for a spin?"

"Don't worry, it won't be a wasted trip!"

Fearing he might refuse, Li Aihua continued, "Don't you need to hire someone to cook the wedding banquet? I'll take care of it!"

"You know how good I am at cooking."

"Just tell me how many people you're taking once you've bought everything, and I'll take care of the rest."

Xu Yan was taken aback when she suddenly brought this up.

She hadn't discussed the banquet with Xie Zhuo before.

The banquet...

She didn't know if Qingshan Brigade had any special rules about how many people to invite. In the past few days, she hadn't seen many relatives in Xie Zhuo's family.

Oh, I've met one.

But it's like that; it's better not to have it at all.

They say they're getting married in a few days, but they haven't actually sat down to discuss any issues or details in detail.

"No need," Xie Zhuo refused immediately after hearing her finish speaking. "I've already arranged all of that."

Xu Yan turned her head to look at him in surprise.

Is everything arranged?

When was it arranged?

"Huh?" Li Aihua wanted to continue, but after hearing his words, she was somewhat disappointed. "It's all arranged? Well, there are only a few days left. If we don't arrange things in advance, we really won't make it in time. So, who did you contact?"

Xie Zhuo did not answer her question.

He patted Da Bao's head, who was hugging his leg, and said directly, "I still have to go into the city. Let Xiao Shuanzi come over this afternoon."

Li Aihua had originally wanted to find out who was going to help Xie Zhuo organize the banquet, but after hearing what he said, she didn't ask any more questions and excitedly confirmed, "Really?"

“Yes,” Xie Zhuo nodded.

Then Li Aihua praised Xu Yan from head to toe again, and then happily went out and left.

Xu Yan stared at her back for a long time.

“She’s a nice person,” Xie Zhuo glanced at Xu Yan, “I’ve taken Da Bao and Xiao Bao to their house for dinner before, and their little Shuanzi is quite well-behaved.”

Xu Yan realized that Xie Zhuo was explaining to her what he had promised earlier.

"Hmm," Xu Yan nodded, then thought for a moment before asking, "You just said you've made all the arrangements?"

"No," Xie Zhuo paused for a moment.

“Then what you just said,” Xu Yan looked at him.

"I was planning to come back from the city this afternoon to discuss this with you," Xie Zhuo said. "There are also some other things I need to tell you, and besides, your family is also... after all, this is a major life event."

Xu Yan understood.

But now is not the time to talk. The two little brats are still circling the bicycle. After Li Aihua went out, several other aunties were eager to come over and have Xie Zhuo take their children for a ride as well.

Getting into the city is more important.

"You go to the city first, we'll talk about the rest when we get back," Xu Yan said.

Xie Zhuo clearly heard the commotion outside, nodded, and went inside to get the basket.

Sure enough, as he pushed his bicycle out of his house, several people were rushing towards his house with their children.

Xu Yan saw an old woman who had just cursed Xie Zhuo as a cursed lone star bringing three or four children over, and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, what brings you here, Auntie?"

The old woman glanced at Xu Yan without saying a word, but smiled slightly when she looked at Xie Zhuo.

However, she naturally has slanted, triangular eyes and high cheekbones, which makes her look rather mean and not very suitable for smiling; a smile would only make her look more mean.

"Third brother, what are you planning to do? Take Da Bao and Xiao Bao out for a stroll?"

Xie Zhuo glanced at her but didn't say anything.

The children with the old woman started shouting, especially the chubby little boy who was being led by her hand. He shook off her hand and tried to rush towards the bicycle.

"I want to ride a bicycle! I want to ride a bicycle!"

However, he failed to reach the car.

Xu Yan stopped him.

The old woman's eyes widened immediately. "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing?" Xu Yan was truly shocked by her shamelessness. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the bicycle was bought by her family.

"What are you doing to me with my bicycle?" Xu Yan's expression was somewhat cold.

"You, it was clearly bought by Xie Laosan, how did it become yours!" the old woman glared at her.

“Yes, he bought it, he bought it for me,” Xu Yan said, looking at her. “If your grandson wants to ride it, go buy it yourself!”

As soon as she said that, Xie Zhuo's lips twitched slightly.

Then a few people who had gathered around to watch the fun, and some who had brought their children to see the bicycles, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xu Yan thought they were laughing at the old woman for getting the short end of the stick, but then she saw the old woman's expression change and she glared at her even more fiercely.
