Chapter 28
The others in the room had been waiting for a long time, and each time they were calmed down by Yunqi's loving father. But as time went on, they couldn't help but become more worried.
Especially the Lu family couple, Lu's mother asked, "Did something happen to the two of you on the way? In-laws, please tell us."
Yun's father smiled and tried his best to reassure her: "Nothing happened, nothing happened. It's inevitable that they're a little nervous, since it's their first time proposing and their first time being proposed to. They even had to get their hair and makeup done."
Despite hearing his words, Lu's mother's worry did not disappear at all. Yun's father looked towards the door, also feeling a bit worried. "You two have to hurry, or I really won't be able to keep things under control."
Yun's father was about to take out his phone to send a message to Yun Qi and the others to see where they were when he heard a knock on the door.
Upon hearing the knocking, everyone's faces instantly lit up with joy. This knocking was something they had agreed upon with Lu Yun: after bringing Yun Qi over, five knocks would signal their arrival.
Upon hearing this sound, Yun's father stood at the door, fully prepared.
After knocking on the door, Lu Yun turned to him with a smile and said, "Knock five times, and they'll know it's us."
Yun Qi said, "You made these agreements with them?"
Lu Yun nodded: "Otherwise, how should I surprise you?"
Yun Qi followed Lu Yun, and the two of them pushed open the door together. As soon as they opened it, all they could see was darkness, very darkness. Yun Qi had just stepped inside and hadn't even had a chance to speak when they heard several "bangs" one after another. Colorful flowers fluttered down, scattering all over Yun Qi and Lu Yun. Then the lights came on, a variety of pale-colored lights, and lyrical music followed.
Standing in the middle were Yun's father, Lu's mother, and Lu's father. All four parents were dressed neatly and formally, making it clear at a glance that they valued this meeting very much.
Yun Qi's eyes widened. "Dad, Father, Uncle and Aunt."
Madam Yun exclaimed, "You must be Yun Qi, right? I've heard Lu Yun mention you every day, and today I finally meet you in person. You are indeed a handsome and talented man."
Yun Qi smiled as she listened, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie."
Lu Yun said from behind, "Mom, how many period dramas have you watched these past few days? You speak with such an ancient accent."
Lu's mother's smile was somewhat similar to Lu Yun's. "What are you saying, child? Why are you so late?"
Lu Yun said, "Isn't this your son's first proposal? He was so nervous that he forgot the ring at home. When he went back to get it, he forgot his phone at home, so he had to go back again."
Hearing about their son's embarrassing situation, Mr. and Mrs. Lu's smiles froze, and they looked somewhat embarrassed. Mr. Lu said, "Yunqi, do you know what you're going to do? You've already told everyone?"
Lu Yun scratched his face: "Xiao Qi is smart, she figured it out herself."
Mrs. Lu laughed and said, "I knew it. Xiao Qi is so smart, how could you possibly keep your actions a secret from your wife?"
Yun Qi was embarrassed by the praise and laughed a few times. He looked at the layout of the private room, and his father noticed his gaze and said proudly, "We arranged all these decorations ourselves. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?"
Yun Qi nodded: "It looks great, thank you everyone. Decorating these must have been very hard work."
After standing and talking for a while, they took their seats. Yun's father and Lu's mother and father talked about the two's marriage. Yun Qi listened while eating, and started to feel embarrassed. She leaned over and whispered, "Didn't you say you were going to propose to me? You haven't even proposed yet, and you already want me to marry you?"
Lu Yun showed him the box containing the ring and said, "My original plan was to propose to you after dinner and meeting your parents, but who knew that the whole plan would be disrupted."
Yun Qi chuckled to herself, "It's okay, I'd be happy to give it to you now."
Lu Yun stood up, knelt on one knee, and said in a firm voice, "Yun Qi, will you marry me?"
Yun Qi was startled. He was just eating peacefully when Yun Qi knelt down to propose after only saying a few words, with half a piece of roast duck still stuffed in his mouth!
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Yun Qi quickly swallowed the duck meat in her mouth and said, "I, I'm willing."
Lu Yun smiled as he looked at Yun Qi's anxious expression, finding it quite adorable. The smile on his lips never faded. He gently slipped the ring onto his finger. He had already altered the ring size countless times, but thankfully, there were no mistakes at this final moment.
Lu's mother chided from the side, "Xiao Qi, you shouldn't have agreed to him so easily. He just said it on purpose because you were eating and couldn't refuse."
Yun Qi said softly, "I didn't intend to refuse in the first place."
Lu Yun smiled so hard his teeth were showing, and he was clearly very happy.
Mrs. Lu said, "Since you two like each other, we, as elders, won't say much more. Come, let's continue discussing how to arrange your marriage."
Yun's father nodded and gave Yun Qi a look. Yun Qi understood that the wedding in the human realm was being overseen by his father and father-in-law, so it wasn't a big deal. He wanted to tell Lu Yun about their wedding in the demon realm.
He beckoned to Lu Yun and said as he approached, "Let's go outside and let Dad and the others talk."
Lu Yun nodded. He also wanted to go out. He had just successfully proposed and was still incredibly excited.
Yunqi and Luyun said goodbye to the parents and went out together. Luyun went to retrieve his car and phone first, as it wasn't good to leave them with the traffic police.
Yun Qi took a taxi, and in the car he said to Lu Yun, "After the wedding in the human world is over, you have to come back to the demon world with me to have a wedding in our demon world."
Lu Yun asked curiously, "What are weddings like in the Demon Realm?"
Yun Qi looked at the ring on his finger. It was a clean and simple design that he liked very much. He smiled gently and said, "It's very simple. We succubi have a tree. We will swear an oath to each other under the tree and drink wine with our blood in it, symbolizing that we will love each other without doubt, grow old together and never abandon each other. From now on, we will share life and fortune."
Lu Yun was stunned, excitedly grabbing Yun Qi's hand as if they were about to go to the big tree together right now, "When are we going? When?"
Yun Qi patted his hand and said, "No rush. We have to wait until we get our marriage certificate and get a travel permit from the Paranormal Bureau before we can go to our Demon Realm. Otherwise, you'll be arrested."
Upon hearing that they needed to get their marriage certificate before they could go, Lu Yun became even happier and said, "Then let's hurry up and get our marriage certificate. How about we do it today?"
Yun Qi: "Don't be in such a hurry. Let's wait until our families have discussed it. What if you're the one who marries me?"
Lu Yun shook his head and said, "Even if I were to marry you, I would be very happy and couldn't wait to get our marriage certificate right now."
The ride-hailing driver in the front seat smiled happily and said, "You two are really in love. Happy wedding!"
Yun Qi then remembered that they were still in the other person's car. Lu Yun replied with a smile, "Thank you."
The two returned the car from the traffic police station, and the cell phone that had fallen on the car seat was also collected. Yun's father and others called to say that the matter had been settled, the date had been set, the engagement ceremony would be held first, then the wedding, and the marriage certificate would be obtained after the engagement ceremony.
Lu Yun added Yun Qi to their wedding group chat, which included family members from both families. Lu Yun excitedly asked in the group: "When is the engagement ceremony? Do we have to wait until after the engagement ceremony to get our marriage certificate?"
Lu's mother: [Next month's 11th is an auspicious day, and the engagement ceremony is next month, which is less than fifteen days away. You still think it's too slow? This is the shortest solution we can find.]
Lu Yun is their son. They know him well. When he was in college, he suddenly came to them and said that he had fallen in love with a boy and that he was determined to be with him. His mother and father were shocked, but they were very open-minded. If you like someone, go for it. Unlike Lu Yun, who told them that the person was not from their school and that he did not even know where the person was or what his name was.
Now they knew that their son had a crush on someone. Then, several years later, their son suddenly came to them and said that he had found someone he liked and that he was going to marry her.
Even though Lu's mother and father were shocked, they still offered their support.
Now things are finally settled, and both sets of parents have met. They've also met the person their son likes, and he's indeed quite nice. Lu Yun's eyes are full of love when he looks at him, which is impossible to ignore.
Lu Yun looked at her mother's statement, calculated the days, and reluctantly agreed: "Alright then, in these fifteen days, I'll take Yunqi to see where to hold the engagement, and we also need to prepare the clothes and other things."
Mr. Lu: [That depends on your preferences. If you need money, just tell Dad. Dad doesn't need it.]
Yun's father: [Me too, I'll take my time looking, but I must find the best.]
Yun Qi: [Okay, thank you dads and moms.]
Yun Qi didn't know what to call him, since he had two fathers, plus Lu Yun's, making three! He only had one mother, who was easy to recognize.
In their demon realm, the moment the engagement is finalized, the address must be changed. But Lu Yun's custom is different; the change of address is done after the wedding tea ceremony and the payment of the change of address fee. But changing the address now is fine. Lu's parents readily sent money in the group chat. Yun Qi didn't understand, so she asked Lu Yun, "Why are Dad and Mom sending me money?"
Looking at Yun Qi's address just now, Lu Yun was extremely pleased and said, "It's a change-of-address fee for you. That's the custom here. Just accept it, it's fine."
Yunqi accepted the gift with relief, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."
Lu Yun added, "Thank you, dads and moms."
Yun's father and father also gave Lu Yun a red envelope as a sign of their approval. When Lu Yun received it, he said to Yun Qi, "Look, our dads approve of me!"
Yun Qi couldn't help but laugh at his silly look: "You're their daughter-in-law, who else would they approve of if not you?"
Lu Yun even mimicked a demure wife, raising her pinky finger and speaking sweetly to Yun Qi, "Husband—"
