When Song Ning returned, she was surprised to find her yard full of people.
She immediately squeezed through the crowd.
Huo Beian spotted her immediately and went to greet her.
"Wife, why are you so late? I've come to propose."
"Hey, don't call me that. Who's your wife?"
Huo Beian grabbed her hand, a mischievous grin on his face, "Who was it yesterday who said they'd come to propose today? If they didn't come, they'd be dogs?"
Song Ning pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she had only made a casual joke, but now this man had actually come.
There is such a thing.
Looking at the way her neighbors were looking at her, she saw nothing but envy, jealousy, and hatred. Especially Song Xue and her daughter, whose expressions were as if they wanted to kill her. She knew that this man's marriage proposal today had brought her honor.
Upon seeing this, Meng Yuming turned pale; any further discussion would only make things worse.
He never imagined that the woman he had refused to marry and had broken off his engagement with would actually be married to his superior!
This feeling is truly bittersweet.
And what's even more shocking is that Song Ning is actually so beautiful! She looks like a movie star.
If I had known, I would have married Song Ning even if he hadn't promoted her.
I felt incredibly regretful.
But it's too late to regret it now.
Song Daqiang quickly went up to her, "Hey Song Ning, when did you start dating someone? Why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't even tell me when you got together with Lin Xiuzhi."
Song Ning's words left Song Daqiang speechless: "What are you saying, girl? There are so many people here."
Song Ning smiled, then took Huo Beian's hand and formally introduced him, "Dad, this is my fiancé. We'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow. Then I won't have to go to the countryside anymore. How about that? Isn't it a double celebration?"
"Indeed."
Song Daqiang gave an awkward laugh, thinking to himself that he had given Song Ning tens of thousands of yuan to trick her into going to the countryside. If he had known she had a boyfriend and didn't need to go, he wouldn't have given her so much money. It was truly like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone forever.
He felt bad about spending that money.
"I'll get you a glass of water."
As Song Ning finished speaking, she was about to walk into the house when she accidentally missed a step and fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, Huo Beian immediately caught her and pulled her into his arms.
"How could you be so careless?"
The people around them were completely dumbfounded. The two of them were shamelessly showing off their affection, treating everyone else like third wheels.
Song Xue was so angry that she gritted her teeth and ran into the house. Lin Xiuzhi also went back into the house in anger.
Huo Beian picked Song Ning up horizontally and placed her on a seat in the yard. He squatted down, took off her shoes, and gently massaged her feet.
"How are you? Did you hurt your ankle?"
Her movements were gentle and tender, which immediately won Song Ning's favor.
"fine."
Song Ning tried to pull her foot back, but Huo Beian held it down.
"Don't move. Let me check. Be good."
After saying that, Huo Beian carefully took off her socks and checked that there was no redness or swelling around her ankles before putting her socks and shoes back on.
The entire movement was very gentle.
Song Ning, on the other hand, was practically bursting with excitement.
I have to say, when he massaged her ankle just now, oh my god, she was so excited.
Moreover, looking at his clearly defined jawline and the military uniform exuding hormones, it's really hard to resist.
In the courtyard, the soldiers were also very excited. They never expected that their usually serious battalion commander would have such a tender side. It was clear that the battalion commander would truly love his wife in the future.
Meng Yuming felt a pang of sadness; the thought that the beautiful woman the battalion commander was holding was originally his childhood sweetheart made him feel miserable.
"I'm fine, let's go inside and sit down."
Song Ning pulled on Huo Beian's sleeve and led him into the house.
Song Daqiang sat in the living room, beaming with joy. Lin Xiuzhi and Song Xue, however, remained expressionless, unable to smile.
"Today is a day of double happiness. Song Xue got a job, and Song Ning found a boyfriend. Today, I've decided to throw a big party and invite all our relatives and friends over to celebrate together."
Huo Beian laughed and said, "Uncle, you're too kind. How about I treat you? Let's go to a restaurant."
Song Daqiang thought to himself, "Wouldn't that be even better, saving me the expense?" So he said, "How could I possibly accept that? But since my son-in-law has asked, I'll do as you say."
Song Ning was a little unhappy. "Dad, today is your future son-in-law's first day here. How can you let him treat us?"
She thought to herself that her scumbag father was rich and yet so stingy.
Song Daqiang rolled his eyes at her. "What do you know? This is my son-in-law's gesture. Song Xue, go and inform your uncle, and your second uncle will also come over."
Although Song Xue was displeased, she still agreed, "Okay."
Huo Beian led everyone to the state-run restaurant.
The dishes were served quickly, four vegetarian dishes and eight meat dishes, in accordance with the standards for a wedding banquet, along with pastries and fruits, covering the entire round table with a variety of colors, aromas and flavors.
Aside from Huo Beian, everyone sitting around the table was from the Song family.
Besides Song Daqiang, Lin Xiuzhi, Song Xue, and Song Ning, there is also Song Xue's uncle Lin Peng and Song Daqiang's second uncle Song Zhongfu.
"Everyone, eat up, don't be shy. Let's chat while we eat," Song Daqiang said with a grin.
The group immediately began to eat.
Huo Beian thoughtfully picked up a chicken leg for Song Ning and placed it in her bowl.
"You're so thin, you need to eat more."
Song Ning was very happy. "Thank you."
During the meal, Huo Beian kept thoughtfully serving food to Song Ning, which made Song Xue very angry.
