Chapter 424: Getting Married
It has rained in Beijing in recent days and the temperature has dropped. I opened the windows at night for ventilation and the cold wind blew into the room.
Shu Yue woke up at eight o'clock in the morning and tried to get up. She stretched out a hand from under the quilt, but she shrank it back because of the cold. She turned over, put her arms around Fu Jingshen's waist, and pressed her head into his arms, greedily enjoying the physical warmth he brought.
Fu Jingshen noticed that she was moving back and forth in his arms and woke up halfway from his sleep. Without opening his eyes, he hugged Shu Yue even tighter.
"Are you using me as a tool to keep warm?"
Shu Yue chuckled, "Not yet, when winter comes in two months, you will become my heating tool."
"Then I should feel honored." Fu Jingshen curled his lips.
The cell phone rang, and Fu Jingshen had to let go of Shu Yue and turned over to get the phone. The caller ID showed it was Fu Jingjing.
As soon as the call was connected, Fu Jingjing started screaming.
"Uncle, He Zhili said you came back yesterday, why haven't I seen you yet? Have you returned to Shangjing?"
Fu Jingshen was so busy when he returned to Beijing from Cuiyang that Fu Jingjing had no chance to see him at all. Then he went to Nanjiang for disaster relief, and now he has returned and she hasn't seen him again.
"Do you want to see me so much?" Fu Jingshen pinched his eyebrows, and his mind suddenly became clear.
"It feels like a long time since we last met, let alone such a long time." Fu Jingjing said with a smile, "Where's my little aunt? Is she back too?"
Fu Jingshen looked at Shu Yue, who was curled up in his arms and refused to get up. He reached out and pinched her earlobe. It was soft and felt good.
"She's back."
"Give her the phone."
Fu Jingjing's tone was slightly excited.
Fu Jingshen turned on the hands-free phone, and Shu Yue called Fu Jingjing.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, it's something very important. I made a banner for you and am waiting to present it to you when we meet."
"Banner?" Shu Yue was puzzled.
"Yes, this is a custom-made banner commemorating your glorious deed of ignoring danger and saving people heroically!" Fu Jingjing truly admired Shu Yue's glorious deed this time. Although Shu Yue was younger than herself, she was really smart and brave. She would absolutely be convinced that such a person could be her little aunt!
And I feel that Fu Jingshen is not worthy of her.
Shu Yue smiled helplessly, "It's hard for you to even specially make a silk banner."
"I want to give you the banner, but there is also an important matter that I need your help with."
Fu Jingjing said, "If you are free, please help me pick out a wedding dress."
Shu Yue was silent, and Fu Jingshen was silent too.
"Wedding dress? Are you getting married?"
Not to mention that Shu Yue didn't know, even Fu Jingshen, her uncle, didn't know anything at all.
Fu Jingjing was also obviously stunned, "Don't you know? Didn't He Zhili tell you?"
He Zhili never sent Fu Jingshen a message about their marriage, and they proposed this year, thinking that the wedding wouldn't be so soon, but now they have to pick out a wedding dress?
"No."
"My mom and grandma didn't tell you either?"
Fu Jingjing felt strange. "This matter was decided two months ago, and it was grandma who chose the date. I thought they had discussed it with you, uncle, and I didn't mention it specifically because we were pressed for time."
Shu Yue and Fu Jingshen looked at each other.
"I understand. When you go to pick out your wedding dress, call me and I'll go with you."
"Okay, it's settled then."
Fu Jingjing hung up the phone with a smile.
She didn't trust other people's opinions. Shu Yue studied design and had some aesthetic sense. She was Fu Jingshen's future wife, and she could be Fu Jingshen's future wife, so Fu Jingjing would come to find her on purpose.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Jingshen called He Zhili again to talk about this matter.
"Ah? You didn't know? Your mother told me before that she had informed you. I thought you knew about it, so I didn't mention it to you when I met you in Nanjiang."
He Zhili was also confused.
After all this time, his brother and future uncle still had no idea that they were getting married.
After Shu Yue saw the phone was hung up, she took a long time to say a word.
"Your mother deliberately didn't let you know, right?"
She carefully observed Fu Jingshen's expression, afraid that he would be angry.
Fu Jingshen had a calm expression, with no special emotions showing on his face.
"She hasn't contacted me since Fu Jiyang's accident. In her eyes, I'm afraid she has already disowned me as her son."
She felt that she had harmed her elder brother, and was an incompetent son and an incompetent brother, and had done only bad things.
But she never thought that all the pain Fu Jingshen suffered was caused by her eldest son, whom she had always cared about.
Just because he is now glamorous and has a bright future, can it erase the blood and tears he shed on the way here?
Fu Jingshen had long been disappointed with his biological mother.
"Fu Jingshen..."
Shu Yue called him, he looked down and saw the worry in her eyes, "I'm fine, I'm used to it."
Fu Jingshen said easily, "By the way, you didn't see what I told you to see yesterday."
Last night, when Fu Jingshen came out of the shower, Shu Yue fell asleep on the bed, and he didn't even have time to show her the ring.
"What?"
Shu Yue sat up curiously and watched Fu Jingshen take out a sandalwood box from the bedside table.
When the box was opened, a emerald green ring lay inside. As she studied jewelry design, how could she not recognize rare treasures? She could tell at a glance that the ring was worth a fortune.
“This is good stuff.”
"Your father gave it to me." Fu Jingshen said.
"My father gave it to you?" Shu Yue was a little surprised, and then listened to Fu Jingshen's explanation.
Her expression changed from surprise to amusement. "This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. A family heirloom passed down to the son-in-law. So, you have gained my father's approval and successfully infiltrated our family to become a member?"
Fu Jingshen raised the corner of his mouth, "Then we are a family."
The end of his voice rose, and Shu Yue could tell he was teasing her.
"That won't work. You're only half a family member since we're not married yet."
"Get up, or the elders will scold you if you don't." Shu Yue said as she quickly got out of bed, closed the window, and went into the cloakroom to change clothes.
Fu Jingshen stared at her figure disappearing in the cloakroom, then looked at the ring in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more intense.
After washing up, the two went downstairs. Mr. Bai and Zhou Lan were sitting downstairs drinking tea and chatting.
Seeing them coming down, Mr. Bai said, "I thought you were going to sleep until noon. You got up earlier than I thought. Since you are up, tell the little girl to get up as well and ask the kitchen to make three more breakfasts."
Shu Yue turned and went to Tong Yao's room. She knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response.
"Sleeping so soundly?"
