Lin Ziyan looked up and met his eager gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
His deep, dark eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, his refined jawline was slightly tightened, and his face was full of sincerity…
She thought to herself that a saying she had heard before was quite fitting for this atmosphere: sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
"Does your family agree to the way I'm discussing this with you?" Lin Ziyan put down her pen and asked seriously.
She neither liked the practice of marrying into another family nor liked getting married.
Lin Ziyan always felt that marriage should be about forming a new family, not about one party integrating into another family.
So when I agreed to date someone, I didn't think about getting married in the future.
“They have no objections.” Lu Yunshen’s eyes flickered slightly.
He had a feeling that if he couldn't accept this approach, the girl in front of him would refuse to get a marriage certificate, or even distance herself from him again.
This feeling of being out of control made him very anxious.
"Okay, we'll go once Grandma has chosen an auspicious day." Lin Ziyan didn't ask any more questions. Right now, she felt like she had a lot of things to do and was too busy to think about anything else.
After returning to China, she didn't even touch the blueprints, as she was extremely busy.
Fortunately, I finished all the homework that Grandma Lan assigned before the Lunar New Year, otherwise I would be even busier now.
Lu Yunshen's lips curved into a smile, his long eyelashes slightly lowered to conceal the smile in his eyes.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the He family's courtyard, Grandma Lan was having her horoscopes matched with that of her great-grandmother.
The two were struggling to choose a date when they were given three dates, which stumped them.
"Grandma Lan, did your grandson explain it to you clearly?" Grandma gently fanned herself with a palm leaf fan.
She thought that if the Lu family didn't agree, the marriage could be postponed.
She used to look forward to her granddaughter getting married soon, but now that the day has come, she feels a little reluctant to let her go.
Although she wouldn't leave home, she was still worried that the Lu family might object, and her granddaughter would be caught in the middle and suffer.
"Explain what?" Grandma Lan looked at Atai suspiciously.
She used to suspect that her grandson liked men, but now that he's finally getting married, what does she have to say?
Seeing her like this, the grandmother simply repeated the wedding ceremony her granddaughter had described.
Grandma Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "Yun Shen said from the beginning that we had no objections."
The Lu family had no objections either; they fully supported the young people having their own ideas.
Ah Tai nodded thoughtfully, feeling a strange sense of loss for some reason.
Grandma Lan noticed her concerns and continued, "We'll choose a date before the Mid-Autumn Festival. As for where the two of them will live afterward, let them decide for themselves."
A flicker of light crossed Ah Tai's cloudy eyes. "Living at the Lin family's place is fine too?"
"Of course, I was thinking of having him marry into the family, but I didn't expect Ziyan to be more thoughtful. This way is more suitable for the two of them."
"Old Master Lu is not old-fashioned, otherwise he would not have agreed to Yun Shen's parents' marriage in the first place."
It was only then that Grandma realized that, given the Lu family's circumstances at the time, it was indeed quite rare for them to be willing to marry a woman with an overseas background.
In the past, during times of turmoil, almost anyone with any overseas connections was doomed.
The fact that the Lu family did not suffer as a result demonstrates the prowess of the Lu family patriarch.
"Don't worry at all. Yun Shen always makes his own decisions, and no one's opposition will affect his decision," Grandma Lan continued to reassure him.
Grandma glanced at her and retorted, "Grandma Lan, do you think I'm blind and deaf and don't know what kind of person my future grandson-in-law is?"
"The Lu family should be thankful that Yun Shen has his own opinions, otherwise they would be like this now..."
She stopped mid-sentence, her eyes narrowing slightly.
You escaped death...
That's what the old monk in the temple said at the time. Later, he withdrew from the fight, which can be considered as saving himself.
Grandma Lan was alarmed when she heard this, and judging from Ah Tai's expression, she guessed what had happened.
"Alright, don't overthink it. This ordeal is over," Ah Tai said calmly.
Once the date is set, things will be much easier. There are still six months until the wedding banquet, and the marriage registration date is one month from now.
Grandma Lan nodded slightly, put away the red paper, and a smile spread across her eyes.
The family is having a happy occasion soon, and time is flying by as we prepare. We can't afford to be late.
A howling sea breeze swept in, bringing with it a touch of moisture and a hint of coolness.
The sky was filled with the glow of the sunset, as if the rooftops of the fishing village had been painted with rouge.
The same sunset was reflected in the glass, capturing the beauty of the sky.
Lin Ziyan stood outside the electronics store, looking at the sky reflected in the sunlight, her eyes sparkling.
"So beautiful!"
Before she could even express her feelings, Lu Qiuying's voice of admiration came from behind her.
Lin Ziyan turned to look at her and smiled brightly.
Lu Qiuying clicked her tongue a few times, stepped forward, gently put her arm around her shoulder, and whispered,
"If I were a man, Lu Yunshen wouldn't stand a chance. Who can resist a beautiful woman's smile?"
As she finished speaking, a sly smile flashed in her eyes.
Lin Ziyan nodded and agreed, "That's right, Minister Lu is incredibly charming."
"And what about me?" Sister Fang walked over and asked jokingly.
All three women laughed at the same time.
Looking at the entire glass door and shop window, Mu Fang's eyes welled up with tears.
"Isn't it beautiful? It's much better than the rendering I drew," Lin Ziyan asked.
Fang Jie nodded. If she had brought a camera, she would definitely have taken a picture first.
Bathed in the glow of the sunset, this large expanse of glass looks like an oil painting.
Lu Qiuying took a few steps back, made a hand gesture, thinking that taking a picture would definitely make the front page of the newspaper.
"Ayan, before I came back, I contacted a newspaper reporter and asked them to write an article for publication. I also asked a photographer to come and take a panoramic photo of the sunset."
This is considered the face of Fukushi, even surpassing the Friendship Store.
Lu Qiuying added a sentence in her mind.
Lin Ziyan nodded and said, "Of course, this is free publicity."
Mu Fang said, "The appliances were just unloaded yesterday, and the news spread throughout the neighborhood. Everyone's saying they want to come and join the fun at the opening."
"Several wholesalers from other provinces will also be coming then."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Lin Ziyan's eyes as she thought of Boss Yang and his group.
Today, they're not only installing glass, but also lights.
It looks nice now, but it will be even more beautiful at night when these lights are turned on.
When Huo Qizhen arrived at the construction site, he saw the three of them talking quietly. He walked over,
"Mr. Lin, you didn't even tell me you were opening an electronics store."
Lin Ziyan only realized that the mantis shrimp were about to leave the pond when she saw him.
Otherwise, Huo Qizhen would be too busy in Guangzhou to come back right now.
"You want to order electrical appliances?" Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow slightly.
The electronics market in Guangzhou is cheap and has a wide variety of products, so she didn't think Huo Qizhen would choose this city.
"Of course, there are no air conditioners for sale in Guangzhou, so I plan to install them in all the private rooms in the restaurant," Huo Qizhen said frankly.
He was recently worried about how to solve the problem of the stuffy private rooms in the summer, but when he returned to the seafood market, he heard about the electrical appliance wholesale market.
Lin Ziyan, "..."
"What, not retail?" Huo Qizhen continued.
Fang Jie was the first to come to her senses and hurriedly said, "Of course, we offer both wholesale and retail here."
"The retail price is uniform, and there are still samples in the warehouse over there..."
Huo Qizhen followed Mu Fang to the warehouse, and when he saw the sign in front of him, he was so surprised that he stopped in his tracks.
