As June arrived, the weather gradually warmed up, and both of them became increasingly busy, or rather, both families are currently very busy.
She was busy going to work at the hospital, trying on dresses, and choosing jewelry. He was busy not only with the engagement but also with the wedding.
The main decisions were made by the two of them, while the rest were left to Yan Li. Recently, Qin Qingwan has also reduced her workload and taken the time to meet with her in-laws to discuss the details. This is mainly because she is afraid of being impolite and wants Yan Li to review and confirm the details before proceeding.
As for the guests that their family wanted to invite, Qin Qingwan really couldn't manage it. Most of them were people who had business dealings with the Gu family, and she had no idea who they were. So, Jinzhu made all the decisions. When Qin Zifu got married, Jinzhu treated it no differently than marrying off her own daughter.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much, I really don't know how to do these things."
"You're being too polite. It's normal that you don't know. Just focus on the guests you've invited. You have quite a few people on your side. Don't worry about anything else. I guarantee that Fufu won't be mistreated at all and will have a dignified wedding."
"I'm not worried about her having a respectable wedding, but I'm worried about it being too respectable. Fufu's engagement was like that, so how big of a spectacle will our daughter-in-law have to be for Di'an to agree to a wedding?"
"Then when our Gu family gets married, we have to compete with the Qi family. No one should be wronged, whether it's Di'an or Di'ning, it's the same."
"It's uncertain about Di Ning. They're very strict, and it's hard to say whether it will work out. We'll see if he'll cooperate. Besides, that's all in the future. He's completely clueless. I don't even know if I'll ever have a daughter-in-law."
"Hey, you're making it sound like Di'an has suddenly become enlightened. How old are you? If you want to talk about it, our Fufu has always been the most easygoing and obedient child."
"She's easy to manage and obedient? Only your sister-in-law seems good in every way. Who was it that climbed the tree? Who was it that scraped their leg and bled while climbing onto the roof? Who was it that totaled the car?"
"Hey, that was all back in my childhood."
After chatting with Jinzhu for a while, Qin Qingwan went back to work, taking the time to compile the list for the Qin family, as there was another person waiting for a C-section that afternoon.
The Qin family indeed had quite a few guests. Many prominent families in the capital had asked the Qin family to treat their illnesses. These families valued the continuation of the family line, so they all hoped that the Qin family could help with pregnancy or regulate their bodies.
They hadn't originally intended to make a big fuss about it, but the proposal caused such a stir that it trended on social media for days. The news spread like wildfire, with people coming to inquire about it, and some even coming to the hospital specifically to ask.
At first, they didn't mention a specific date, only that they were getting engaged. However, the Qi family always holds grand engagement parties, and the social circle is only so big. Even if the Qin family didn't say anything, everyone would know in a few days.
Finally, a family meeting was held, and they decided to simply stop hiding it, since everyone already knew anyway.
Both families were busy with their tasks.
Today, Qin Zifu, the main character in the story, is actually free.
"Fufu, you're getting engaged! That's fast!"
"I feel like I'm dreaming, watching both families busy with all the work."
"You guys are making quite a splash; your engagement is busier than most people's weddings."
"These are all in the capital. According to Qi Jingchen, we should just come from nearby. We can talk about the rest after the wedding."
"Okay, is there anything we can help with? We don't have any experience either."
Su Nuo and Tang Shuyu have more free time and can help.
"Speaking of which, Nuonuo, your marriage was a complete waste. You didn't even have a wedding ceremony, and now you have no experience at all."
"So we got divorced. What could I do? It wasn't like I could decide whether or not to have a wedding."
Su Nuo shrugged.
"There's nothing I can help with right now. Just be there for me at my engagement and be my bridesmaid at my wedding."
How many bridesmaids?
"The two of you, or if Cheng Xingran wants, the three of you, but we'll have to ask her later if she's willing."
"Okay, Fufu, do you think I could become your sister-in-law if I try my best?"
"Really?!"
Su Nuo's eyes widened in disbelief. What had she missed?
"Shh, keep your voice down, I'm just asking if it's possible."
"Maybe. Qi Jingchen mentioned it to me before."
Qin Zifu never expected that this trend would actually materialize.
"when?"
"My brother dragged you to buy water at the food street on the day of the basketball game," Qi Jingchen said.
"Oh, no, that's your brother trying to create an opportunity for Zhou Yixing."
Tang Shuyu thought Gu Di'an had said something to Qi Jingchen, but it turned out she was wrong, and she was a little disappointed.
"The key question is, have you actually communicated at all? You've only met a few times, haven't you?"
"Every time we went out, Fufu would ask him to take me home. One day, after we'd been drinking, I turned my head and suddenly thought he was so handsome, I couldn't resist leaning over and kissing him."
"And then what?"
"That was it, he didn't react. Another time, I went to Banxing with a friend, and my friend had a bit of an argument with another group of people. He saw it, resolved the situation, and then took me away."
"Then what?"
"And then nothing happened. No matter how I try to seduce your brother, it's no use. I'm starting to doubt myself; maybe he's just a man I can't win over."
"Don't rush, try harder, I hope you'll be my sister-in-law."
"Okay, I'll try my best. There's nothing I can do if he doesn't respond."
"Shuyu is so brave and proactive. I'll have to observe her more in the future."
"Observe my ass! Don't be too obvious, it'll be too embarrassing later."
"Okay, no, I'll sound me out to my brother when I see him."
"No, please don't let him know I told you!"
"I won't let him know."
Qin Zifu was secretly overjoyed. She had thought her brother was interested in Shuyu, but she never expected there was this connection between them.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, it's kind of embarrassing, I really want to eat crayfish."
"Can we just eat something easy? My son wants to eat shrimp, but I don't even want to peel them for him."
Su Nuo disliked doing things that would get her hands dirty; her delicate hands were meant for commanding affairs, not for peeling shrimp.
"I know you cherish your hands, so I'll compromise. How about the lobster tail? No need to peel it."
Okay.
"Come on, it's not easy to get Fufu to come out. She has to work and prepare for the wedding. The main problem is that President Qi won't let her go, and I don't dare contact you. Before I do, I need to confirm the time with you several times and think about whether it will disturb you two."
"Shut up and go eat something."
After dinner, Qi Jingchen came to pick her up. On the way, he bought a small dessert, which Qin Zifu ate in the car. Before Qin Zifu came back, Qi Jingchen could never tolerate anyone eating in his car.
"ah!"
After eating the filling, Qin Zifu suddenly stopped moving, her mouth half-open. Qi Jingchen kept an eye on her while driving.
"What's wrong? Did you bite it?"
"No"
Qin Zifu scooped a spoonful and put it into Qi Jingchen's mouth while watching him; her movements were very quick.
There's popping candy inside.
Qi Jingchen looked at Qin Zifu, who was beaming with surprise and anticipation, and thought she was really cute.
"Okay, eat."
He's now been persuaded by her to eat some desserts, even though he doesn't usually like sweet things, but Qin Zifu does.
Not just desserts, but also meals, like zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and eight-treasure rice.
