Chapter 249 Marriage
"Oh! Niannian, I'm your grandmother. I am your grandmother!"
Looking at Nian Nian's small, adorable appearance, Su's mother's eyes suddenly reddened.
Subconsciously, she slowed her pace, walked up to Niannian, squatted down, and looked him in the eye, afraid that she might accidentally frighten her grandson whom she was meeting for the first time.
Fortunately, although the two had never met in person, they often chatted on the phone.
Nian Nian was no stranger to Su's mother's voice.
At this moment, Su Xiangwan walked up to Niannian and said to him, "Niannian, quickly call her grandma."
By this time every year, she had already accepted Su's mother's identity as "grandmother" and immediately gave her a big smile.
Her voice was crisp and sweet as she spoke: "Grandma!"
"Oh, Niannian is such a good girl." Su's mother's smile grew even brighter as she raised her hand to wipe away the tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Su's father quickly stepped forward and said, "Niannian, I am your maternal grandfather. Quickly call me maternal grandfather."
"Grandpa." The obedient Niannian, upon hearing the familiar voice, called out "Grandpa" in her clear and sweet voice without any hesitation.
“Oh, our Niannian is such a good girl, such a good child.” Father Su stared at Niannian without blinking.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Our Niannian looks just like Wanwan did when she was little. It's so endearing."
Su Xiangwan chuckled softly upon hearing this.
Gu's father and mother often said similar things.
Clearly, in the eyes of elders, their grandchildren always look just like their own children.
Su Xiangnan finally managed to squeeze forward and get in front of Niannian, hoping to get him to call him "Uncle". Unfortunately, Niannian was already surrounded by Su's father and mother.
He had no energy left to spare for his uncle, so he could only watch enviously from the sidelines.
Seeing his reaction, Gu Yanxiao smiled and said, "Since you like children so much, why don't you find a wife and have one yourself?"
Su Xiangnan glared at him irritably. This kid had kidnapped his sister, had given birth to such an adorable child for him, and now he was showing off to her.
The two walked out of the hall in tacit agreement, and under the corridor, they looked at the courtyard, which had begun to turn green and full of life.
“Spring has arrived, and the cold winter is finally over.” Su Xiangnan raised his eyes, his gaze falling on a tree with tender green buds, and suddenly spoke.
Gu Yanxiao understood the deeper meaning in his words, stepped forward, and said, "Brother, now that you're back, are you going to leave again?"
Su Xiangnan nodded: "Of course we still have to go. Our country has just gone through a storm, and the peace we have today is hard-won. That's why we need to strengthen ourselves quickly. Only when our motherland is strong can our people be happy and secure. And all of this requires the efforts of everyone."
Gu Yanxiao fell silent after hearing Su Xiangnan's words.
Admittedly, he certainly hoped that Su Xiangnan could stay. Although Su Xiangwan had not said it, as her husband, Gu Yanxiao naturally knew very well how much she longed for the family to be reunited.
However, just as Su Xiangnan said, our motherland has suffered too much bullying and devastation. Now, we need everyone's efforts to make our motherland rise rapidly so that it can catch up with the great powers.
They are at the prime of their youth, dedicating themselves to the motherland. How could they choose comfort and enjoyment for their own selfish reasons?
"In that case, spend some quality time with Wanwan during this period! She really misses you all."
That was all Gu Yanxiao could say.
"Of course, don't worry! I believe the time when we can meet freely is not far off!" Su Xiangnan said, his usually deep and sharp eyes now flashing with a light that was impossible to ignore.
"Yes, I believe that day will come soon."
...
In the days that followed, both families spent as much time as possible with their relatives while preparing for Su Xiangbei and Gu Yanfei's wedding.
As for the opening of Su Xiangwan's company, it is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
With the help of Su Xiangwan and Vivian, the company's opening ceremony was successfully completed.
The entire company began operating at full speed.
With management experience from two lifetimes, Su Xiangwan did not allow herself to be tied down by the company. Instead, she knew how to make good use of people and brought out the full potential of each position.
All I need to do is keep an eye on the big picture.
After the company was running smoothly, Su Xiangwan focused all her attention on Su Xiangbei and Gu Yanfei's marriage.
Before we knew it, it was February 19th.
Early in the morning, the two neighboring houses were already busy.
Su Xiangwan got up early, carrying a makeup case that her family had brought from America, and went to Gu Yanfei's room.
"Sister-in-law..." Gu Yanfei was already sitting in front of the dressing table, nervously rubbing the hem of her clothes.
Su Xiangwan glanced at the faint dark circles under her eyes, chuckled, and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Gu Yanfei nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Yeah, I just... toss and turn and can't fall asleep."
The dates had been set long ago, and she and Su Xiangbei had been meeting every day since then.
Even if she marries Su Xiangbei, it will only mean moving from this courtyard to the courtyard next door.
I will still be able to see my parents, brother, and sister-in-law every day from now on.
It can be said that apart from the formalities, her life has remained completely unchanged.
However, even though she was already very clear about all of this, she still couldn't fall asleep last night.
Gu Yanfei was too embarrassed to say these words aloud, lest her sister-in-law laugh at her.
Thinking of this, she asked somewhat shyly, "Sister-in-law, was it the same when you married my brother?"
Su Xiangwan was taken aback, and from her memory, she found the scene before the original owner's wedding.
After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "These are all normal, it's okay. I'll cover up the dark circles under your eyes with foundation later, and I'll make sure you look like a beautiful bride today."
She paused for a moment, then said, "I guarantee that when my second brother sees it, he won't be able to take his eyes off it."
"Oh dear! Sister-in-law..." Gu Yanfei blushed deeply.
"Hmm, it seems a bit inappropriate for you to call me sister-in-law today. After all, you're the bride today, and you're the eldest. Shouldn't I call you second sister-in-law instead?" Su Xiangwan continued teasingly.
Gu Yanfei, annoyed, reached out and tickled her, making her feel itchy.
After the two joked and played around for a while, Gu Yanfei finally calmed down.
Su Xiangwan then began applying makeup to Gu Yanfei.
Under Su Xiangwan's superb makeup skills, Gu Yanfei seemed to have become a completely different person, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
