The three men from the Ji family stayed at the villa for one night and then left, while Letong, Sihan, and the twins stayed behind.
Of course, the twins were in charge of creating a lively atmosphere and having fun, while Letong and Sihan stayed behind to help decorate the villa.
Besides Zhu Qianying and her two daughters, and Letong and her two daughters, there were also wedding company staff. Even so, everyone was still extremely busy.
Originally, even after getting her marriage certificate with Yan Shao, Zhu Qianying still didn't really feel like she was about to get married. But as she watched the rented villa gradually transform from an ordinary vacation home into a joyous residence after everyone busied themselves decorating it, Zhu Qianying finally truly felt that she would soon become a married woman.
With the wedding day just two days away, the villa's decorations were finally completed by this evening. This means that tomorrow, Zhu Qianying can go for a bridal treatment and then prepare to become a beautiful bride with peace of mind.
After working with everyone for two busy days, Zhu Qianying yawned repeatedly during dinner.
"Ying'er, finish your meal, wash up, and go to sleep!"
Chen Jing felt sorry for her daughter and kept reminding her while she ate.
Zhu Qianying had originally planned to do the same, but after she finished eating and taking a shower, she received a call from Xing Bailun, whom she hadn't seen for quite some time.
"Shadow, the day after tomorrow is your big day. Let's go out and have a chat."
Xing Bailun's tone was flat, and Zhu Qianying couldn't imagine his expression from his words alone.
"Okay, where are you?"
When Zhu Qianying saw Xing Bailun's name flashing, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.
This is probably the longest period of time she has gone without contacting Xing Bailun since they became close friends.
In the past, as long as she could get in touch with him, Xing Bailun would call her or send her a few messages almost every day. But ever since he indirectly confessed his feelings, he has called her much less often, and she, naturally, can no longer contact him frequently.
Firstly, she was considering Xing Bailun's feelings; secondly, she didn't want to anger Young Master Yan and cause Xing Bailun to suffer.
"Do you remember that club where Qi Xiao celebrated his birthday?"
Zhu Qianying certainly remembered that time. The five of them had a great time and drank a bit too much. They ended up sleeping on the carpet and sofa all night.
That night, she slept on the sofa, and when she woke up the next day, she was still covered with Xing Bailun's clothes, while the four of them, including Xing Bailun, were all lying haphazardly on the carpet.
"I remember, it will take me about half an hour to get there if I leave now."
"Should I pick you up?" Xing Bolun knew that she had moved out of the Zhu family and rented an apartment, but he didn't know that she was now living in a resort hotel.
"No need, no need, I'll take a taxi there, you don't need to run back and forth."
More than half an hour later, the taxi stopped outside the clubhouse. As soon as Zhu Qianying got out of the car, she saw Xing Bailun standing at the entrance in a black coat against the wind. Seeing her get out of the car, he immediately ran over.
"shadow!"
Zhu Qianying's gaze first fell on his legs, "Are your legs alright?"
Xing Bailun had his cast removed a few days ago, and Qi Xiao had texted her beforehand. She had asked if she wanted her to go with her, but Qi Xiao replied, "Never mind, you go ahead and do your thing."
Zhu Qianying roughly knew why Qi Xiao said that, so she didn't insist.
"It's okay, I can run and jump. Don't worry, we can go rock climbing together again in the summer."
Xing Bolun patted her shoulder with a smile, and the two entered the club while chatting and laughing.
As soon as Zhu Qianying pushed open the door to the VIP room, she heard Qi Xiao and the others laughing and joking.
Looking up, I saw a group of people playing darts. Someone was so inaccurate that their dart landed on the wall next to the target.
"Who's such a jerk? Are you blind?" Zhu Qianying teased as soon as she stepped in.
Qi Xiao was pushed forward by Lü Hui and Ling Chen. "Young Master Qi said he worked overtime last night and was so tired that he was dizzy. Shadow, do you believe him?"
Zhu Qianying smiled but didn't take the bait. She walked over, picked up three darts, and fired them three times in quick succession. All three darts hit the bullseye!
"Young Master Qi, look what a true master of darts looks like! With your skill level, you're not even qualified to carry Shadow's shoes!" Lu Hui gloated as he stepped on Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao leaned close to Zhu Qianying's ear and whispered, "I spent the whole night drinking with Aaron last night!"
Zhu Qianying turned her head to look. Xing Bailun had sat down alone on the sofa after entering the room. At this moment, he was holding a cup and looking over, and their eyes met.
Zhu Qianying smiled at him, then turned to Qi Xiao and asked in a low voice, "Is he alright?"
Qi paused for a moment, then asked her in return, "What do you think?"
Before Zhu Qianying could speak, he immediately added, "Forget it, no one is at fault. Just pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, things will definitely get better in time."
Whether Qi Xiao was telling the truth or offering words of comfort, Zhu Qianying had no choice but to believe him.
Yes, it will definitely get better in time!
"His father has already given the order to retire after the Spring Festival. In two months, Aaron will be President Xing! You guys... sigh... never mind, let's not talk about this. Let's go have a couple of drinks!"
Qi Xiao put his arm around Zhu Qianying's shoulder and led her to the sofa.
Ling Chen and Lü Hui also came over noisily. Qi Xiao poured wine for Zhu Qianying and put it in her hand. The four of them raised their wine glasses at the same time.
"Shadow, congratulations on your marriage!" Qi Xiao said.
“Shadow, you have to hang out with us often from now on. Don’t abandon us good buddies just because you’re married,” Lu Hui said.
"Shadow, we agreed to go on an adventure together during the May holiday, does that still stand?" Ling Chen said.
Only Xing Bailun, holding his cup, gently touched the rim of Zhu Qianying's cup, but said nothing, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing his drink, he reached out and gently pulled Zhu Qianying into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Yingying, be happy!"
Zhu Qianying immediately nodded in response, "Yes, I will! Aaron, you too, be happy!"
Xing Bolun gently pushed her away, placed his hands on her shoulders, and looked directly into her eyes.
"Your happiness is my happiness!"
Zhu Qianying felt a lump in her throat, took a deep breath, avoided his burning gaze, brought the glass to her lips, and with a flick of her wrist, tilted the glass halfway up, pouring most of the wine into her mouth.
After finishing this round of drinks, neither Xing Bailun nor Qi Xiao and the others said anything sentimental. As usual, they chatted, joked, sang, drank, and played games until after 1 a.m. before the driver took them home in a van.
Even though Zhu Qianying lived the furthest away, all four of them unanimously said they would take her back to her place first.
As she got out of the car, Xing Bolun took a bag full of gift boxes from the car and stuffed it into her arms, saying, "These are our gifts for you!"
