Watching her walk into the fitting room, Li Ruoning leaned back on the sofa, took out her phone from her backpack, and sent a WeChat message to Lu Kechen.
[Honey, I've realized I was wrong. You and Yiyi are just like that; you both see through everything in this world far too much.]
With a gentle smile, Lu Kechen replied to Li Ruoning's message and stepped across the threshold.
Looking at the Crown Prince who was resting with his eyes closed, he approached, nudged Zhang Youye's shoe, and spoke in a mournful tone.
“Groom, you’re dragging my wife to be your wife’s conscript, and you’re just sitting around doing nothing.”
He glanced at him briefly, then closed his eyes again, responding without changing his expression.
"Bro, have you forgotten how I helped you carry flowers up the mountain when you proposed? You're so romantic, but do you know how many bug bites I got? Now I'm asking you for a favor, and you're not happy about it?"
Before Lu Kechen could speak, Zhang Youye asked again.
"Where's your brother? And why isn't Xiao Xu here? Aze isn't here either? What do they mean by this? Are they looking down on me? They didn't even come to help out at my wedding?"
"They're all busy, but they'll definitely come on the wedding day."
“There are only a few days left.” Zhang Youye propped his forehead with his hand, slightly raised his eyes, and handed the blueprints to Lu Kechen. “It would be better if they came sooner, so they could come and give me some ideas for my wedding.”
"Take another look at this site plan. They're already wrapping things up over there. Do you see what else we need to prepare?"
With the wedding date fast approaching, efforts are being made these past few days to ensure a perfect wedding ceremony and to give Shuyi plenty of surprises.
Every night, after she fell asleep, Zhang Youye would personally drive to the scene to check the details.
This also led to the prince, who was severely sleep-deprived, having to find a secluded place to take a nap whenever he had a spare moment.
Spreading the huge blueprints out on the coffee table in front of him, and glancing at the dark circles under his eyes, Lu Kechen said, "No need to prepare anything, it's already perfect."
"Are you sure?" Zhang Youye pressed.
"When you gave me the final version of the drawings, I already corrected all the unreasonable parts. The main issue is the sheer size of the project; I'd like to ask when you started construction?"
"It started very early."
"How early?"
“After we got our marriage certificate,” Zhang Youye said, “it’s been almost five months now.”
Lu Kechen was surprised and shocked to see such a large project completed in just a few months.
"You sure know how to make things complicated. If my wife saw this, she'd probably ask me to get one for her too."
Seemingly pleased with Lu Kechen's expression, Zhang Youye abruptly stood up from the sofa after hearing this.
"No woman could resist, right? Your wife makes this request, so my surprise will definitely be a hit."
“Perfect, I can let that guy hiding overseas see this, so he can give up on this idea as soon as possible.”
Defeated by the young master's thought process, Lu Kechen nodded with a smile: "Yes, absolutely. But Shu Chuanran really won't be coming back for your wedding?"
After Shu Qianxin confirmed it repeatedly, and after Zhang Huaiyi confirmed it once more, Zhang Youye was now quite certain that Shu Chuanran would not be returning to attend their wedding.
"I guess his injury hasn't fully healed yet. All this back and forth is too much trouble. It's better if he doesn't come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside.
Upon receiving a call from the stage, Zhang Huaiyi went inside and held up his phone to ask Zhang Youye a question.
"Brother, they can't get through to you on the ground. They're asking if you're still going for the check-up tonight?"
Upon discovering that the phone had automatically shut down due to a lack of battery, Zhang Youye reached out and took Zhang Huaiyi's phone, giving him his usual instructions.
“I will come to check tonight. You all stay there and make sure no outsiders enter.”
...
With only three days left until the grand wedding, another shocking piece of news has surfaced online.
The news of the sudden death of Qin Miyou, the second young lady of the Qin family, in her hospital room shocked the entire nation.
According to a special announcement released online by the Qin family, Qin Miyou contracted a serious illness abroad. After returning to China for treatment, her condition worsened, and she missed the best time for rescue, ultimately passing away.
While the Qin family was holding a funeral and mourning ceremony, the scene inside the Shu family's ancestral home was quite different.
The interior of the ancestral home, like the garden, was decorated with lanterns and colorful curtains, exuding extreme luxury.
The employees, dressed in uniform, were busy making final preparations for the wedding.
Inside the East Courtyard.
After reading the gossip reports on her phone, Su Yu put down her phone, leaned close to Li Ruoning, and asked mysteriously, "Sister Ning, do you think Qin Miyou's death might be related to Brother Youye?"
"Well," Li Ruoning glanced at Shu Qianxin, who was instructing employees outside the courtyard, and gave them a knowing look. "We just need to know what's going on. Don't ask me this in front of Yiyi."
Nodding seriously, before Su Yu could speak again, Shu Qianxin had already turned and walked into the house.
She walked around the two of them and sat down on a sofa. Noticing that Li Ruoning's teacup was empty, she picked up the kettle and poured her a new cup.
"Sister Ning, Xiao Yu, I wonder if you two like this tea?"
"Sister Qianxin, don't pour it for me, I don't like drinking this bitter water." Su Yu frowned and waved her hand.
After listening, Shu Qianxin poured tea for Li Ruoning, put down her teacup, and said nothing more.
Now that Shu Chuanran is gone, Shu Qianxin lives alone in this ancestral home. It would be a lie to say she isn't lonely. Without someone she could truly connect with, she doesn't know what to do besides putting on a brave face.
During this time, my father and grandfather have been busy preparing for Shuyi's wedding. Even the New Year's Eve dinner, which they always value, was hastily concluded. The two of them made the decisions regarding the wedding, while Uncle Wei took care of other miscellaneous matters.
