Yao Tongjia took Xiao Gengwu's hand and asked, "Have you been waiting for me here all this time?"
Xiao Gengwu reached out and grasped Yao Tongjia's other hand: "No, I'm just reading here!"
Yao Tongjia didn't believe her: "You're lying. If you really wanted to read, wouldn't you go back to your own yard?"
Xiao Gengwu pulled Yao Tongjia to sit down: "When can we live together? We graduated more than three months ago."
Yao Tongjia leaned over and pinched Xiao Gengwu's cheeks with both hands: "Why didn't you remind me before?"
"I'm just worried because you're too busy. Didn't you say the other day that you'd almost finished things at the pharmaceutical factory? How about we get married once it's all settled?" Xiao Gengwu's eyes were full of anticipation!
Yao Tongjia sighed: "I'm sorry, Dad just called and asked me to go abroad with Mom to participate in a competition. We can only get married after the competition!"
Xiao Gengwu's expression froze for a moment. When had he ever looked like that before? Her heart tightened: "I'm sorry, are you unhappy?"
Xiao Gengwu was quiet for a while: "How about this, let's not delay any longer, let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow, and then I'll go abroad with you, let's just say we're going on a honeymoon trip abroad?"
Yao Tongjia's eyes widened. Could this guy also be dressed up? How did he come up with such an advanced concept as a destination wedding?
Perhaps because Yao Tongjia's expression was too surprised, Xiao Gengwu asked again, "Can we have a destination wedding?"
Yao Tongjia probed, "Are you sure you're not from my hometown?"
Xiao Geng was completely baffled: "What fellow villager?"
Upon hearing the answer, Yao Tongjia knew it wasn't an explanation: "In my previous world, many people didn't like too many trivial things. They just got their marriage certificate and then went on a trip to get married!"
Xiao Gengwu was somewhat surprised: "What a coincidence?"
"What a coincidence! I thought you were a time traveler like me. Your thinking is truly amazing!"
Xiao Gengwu pulled Yao Tongjia to sit on his lap: "Tongtong, I don't want to delay any longer. There are many things in life, and our time can never keep up with the speed of things!"
"I don't want our marriage to be delayed indefinitely until neither of us wants to mention it anymore!"
Seeing Xiao Gengwu's determined look, Yao Tongjia nodded: "Okay, we'll talk to the officials tomorrow, but I don't think they'll agree to our request."
"Then let's not delay any longer. Let them choose a date before they leave the country, and we'll hold the banquet at the military region!"
Xiao Gengwu knew that proposing a destination wedding at this time was not very realistic, so he nodded: "I'll talk to my grandparents tomorrow, and then we'll go to the military region together. We'll leave the banquet arrangements to them!"
The next day, Yao Tongjia called Wu Xinyue and Li Youyou to stay at the two factories while she waited for Xiao Gengwu to come to her. Soon, Xiao Gengwu came over with the two elderly people.
Grandma was overjoyed to see Yao Tongjia: "You two are finally getting married! That's wonderful! Let's go to the military region together now. Leave everything else to us. You can go and take care of your business!"
When they arrived at the military region together, Ruan Shengpeng suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw two elderly people smiling like chrysanthemums following behind Xiao Gengwu.
As expected, Old Master Xiao spoke up: "The two children want to get married, let's pick a good date for them!"
Although Ruan Shengpeng knew the two would get married, he still felt very uncomfortable when he heard the news: "Isn't Tongtong going abroad with her mother in a few days? Let's get married after they come back from abroad!"
Xiao Gengwu quickly stepped forward: "Uncle Ruan, I'm worried about those two going abroad. After we get married, we'll go abroad together with Aunt Yao!"
Xiao Gengwu's words left Ruan Shengpeng speechless. If he weren't the commander of the Beijing Military Region, he would also want to become a bodyguard and go abroad with his wife.
Ruan Shengpeng gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "This guy is too good at seizing opportunities. He gave this reason, and I can't refute it!"
In the end, Ruan Shengpeng could only nod: "We'll hold the ceremony at the military canteen. You can ask your mother and uncle to come over and discuss the wedding!"
Xiao Gengwu's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around: "I'll go get someone right now!"
Xiao Gengwu and his group arrived too early. When they got to the courtyard, the couple were happily playing with their child, who was being held by them. The child had round, bright eyes and was exceptionally cute.
Seeing Xiao Gengwu arrive so early, Xiao Yan was about to ask a question when Xiao Gengwu's words came crashing down on her: "I'm getting married. Go over and discuss things with Uncle Ruan!"
Xiao Yan had been waiting for them to get married, but there was no news. Now that she was finally settled, the news of their marriage came.
The eagle-eyed man quickly took the child: "Go change your clothes and have something to eat first. Oh, and what gifts do you need to prepare?"
Xiao Yan looked at the house and said, "I've been staying home with the kids every day lately, so I don't have anything left. Did you drive over? Go buy some gifts, or you might get beaten up if you go to discuss the marriage empty-handed!"
Xiao Gengwu nodded upon hearing this: "I'll go buy it right away!"
When Xiao Yan chased after him, she only saw his back. She sighed, "I haven't even told him what I wanted to buy yet, and he ran off so fast?"
"If it's him who wants to get married, he must be in a hurry. He's so smart, he should know what to buy. If he doesn't know, just buy something expensive!"
Xiao Yan recalled how this guy had thrown his bankbook at her before: "Like you?"
Hawkeye also recalled his own foolishness: "If I were like him, I could have married such a good wife!"
Xiao Gengwu hurriedly took the keys from Yao Tongjia so that Yao Yanxin could hear him, but she quickly stopped him: "There's no need to go shopping, I don't need anything here. You two go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll discuss your plans and tell you tonight!"
Seeing their hesitation, Yao Yanxin could only assign them a task: "Then you two go and buy the clothes you need for your wedding day, as well as your personal belongings!"
The two looked at each other. There was less than a week left before they left the country. Getting married within a week was indeed quite rushed. Fortunately, the furniture and other things had been prepared in advance, otherwise it would have been too late!
Yao Yanxin went into the room, took out some money, and handed it to Yao Tongjia: "I've already prepared the quilt for you, but I haven't bought the bed sheet yet. Why don't you go and buy one you like while you're at it!"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "We can go buy it, but we don't need to pay!"
Yao Yanxin insisted on handing over the money: "My parents should pay for the wedding; it's one of their responsibilities!"
Yao Tongjia had no choice but to accept the money, and then the two drove away. When Xiao Yan arrived, she hadn't seen Xiao Gengwu yet, so she could only stand at the door and wait.
Yao Yanxin waited for a while before seeing Xiao Yan come out to check. When she finally saw Xiao Yan standing at the door, she teased, "Is she about to become a mother-in-law and trying to put on airs?"
Xiao Yan handed the child to her friend: "Why would I need to put on airs? I already have airs to begin with. I sent that kid to buy gifts, why hasn't he come back yet?"
