“Why do you think it’s not practical?” Zhongyu Liuying spoke up. “Just ask her what she wants, and we’ll fulfill her wishes. Do you really have to sacrifice your entire life for this act of saving grace?”

“Zhong Yating doesn’t want anything else. She simply wants to marry me,” Huangfu Ruixiang expressed with helplessness. “What can I do? At that time, she was on the verge of death. I promised to marry her once she recovered.”

Who would have thought that Zhong Yating would miraculously recover in the end? Moreover, when he made the promise to Zhong Yating, there were many witnesses, making it impossible for him to retract his words even if he wanted to.

Upon hearing Huangfu Ruixiang’s response, Zhongyu Liuying was at a loss for words. Though her expression remained sour, she didn’t say anything further, seemingly having come to terms with the situation. However, only she knew what she truly felt inside.

“Alright, Mother, let’s head inside quickly!” Huangfu Ruixiang suggested. “Otherwise, if my brother comes back and finds us missing, he might just leave.”

Accepting the reality of the situation, he knew that if he had to marry Zhong Yating, he would have to leave it up to fate.

Upon Huangfu Ruixiang mentioning Huangfu Ruiling, Zhongyu Liuying’s expression turned slightly awkward, but she proceeded to walk towards the hall.

Clearly, she had not yet moved past the embarrassment of the engagement ceremony. Therefore, the thought of meeting Huangfu Ruiling later made her demeanor somewhat unnatural.

When Huangfu Ruiling entered the living room hand in hand with Ye Leng’an, the atmosphere, though not as tense as before, remained silent. No one initiated the conversation.

Ye Leng’an almost questioned her own ears. They hadn’t come to discuss Huangfu Ruixiang’s marriage this time. After all, no family would remain this silent during such discussions!

“Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re back!”

Seeing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruixiang stood up to greet them.

Zhong Yating’s eyes sparkled as she too stood up to greet them.

However, Huangfu Ruiling only glanced at Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying without returning the greeting. He seemed no more familiar with them than strangers.

Despite being dissatisfied with Huangfu Ruiling’s behavior, neither Huangfu Jingzhang nor Zhongyu Liuying dared to speak up. Their livelihoods now depended entirely on Huangfu Ruiling. Ever since the last engagement ceremony, when half of their living expenses were suddenly deducted, they had become much more obedient.

With only half of their usual living expenses, they were barely scraping by. If not for their savings, they might have struggled to make ends meet. Therefore, they had learned their lesson and dared not provoke Huangfu Ruiling anymore. They feared that even the little they had left would be taken away.

Soon, everyone sat down to discuss Huangfu Ruixiang’s wedding. However, it was more of a one-sided discussion, with the principal figures having no room to speak.

Zhongyu Liuying was the first to speak. “In my opinion, Ruixiang, as the younger brother, shouldn’t be marrying before Ruiling. However, since you’re insisting on getting married now, we, as parents, can’t say much. We can only offer our blessings. But…”

At this point, Zhongyu Liuying changed the subject. “Even though you’re getting married first, the wedding should be kept simple!”

Huangfu Ruixiang didn’t voice any objections, indicating his acceptance.

However, Zhong Yating’s expression immediately soured upon hearing Zhongyu Liuying’s words.

No girl would be indifferent to her own wedding. Who wouldn’t want a grand celebration? Especially with the Huangfu family’s resources, they could have prepared a lavish affair. Yet, it was now being hastily arranged.

She couldn’t help but tug at Huangfu Ruixiang’s sleeve, hoping he would speak up for her.

Unfortunately, Huangfu Ruixiang showed no intention of speaking up. Instead, he frowned and pulled away his sleeve, not even sparing a glance at Zhong Yating.

Their interaction lacked the sweetness one would expect from a couple about to wed.

Zhong Yating’s eyes darkened, but she refrained from speaking up for herself. Clearly, she was intelligent enough to know when to speak and when to remain silent.

Zhongyu Liuying continued, “In my opinion, why don’t we simply treat a few relatives to a meal? Keep the wedding casual. Then, you can meet the relatives directly on the day, without the need for a grand affair.”

The more Zhong Yating listened, the more grim her expression became. While she could endure a simple wedding, the idea of merely having a meal with a few relatives seemed underwhelming. It sounded even less grand than her engagement ceremony.

Was that supposed to be a wedding? It sounded more like a casual gathering!

“Auntie,” Zhong Yating finally spoke up. “Even if the wedding is kept simple, shouldn’t we at least have a banquet and invite acquaintances to celebrate? When Ruixiang and I got engaged, many people attended. It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t inform them of our marriage. Actually, I don’t think our wedding needs to be extravagant. We could keep it similar to our engagement. Don’t you think so?”

Zhongyu Liuying’s expression darkened at once. After giving Zhong Yating a brief glance, she spoke slowly, “You and Ruixiang haven’t even married yet, and you’re already trying to tell me what to do. Isn’t that a bit too hasty?”

With her words, not only Zhongyu Liuying but also Huangfu Jingzhang and Huangfu Ruixiang looked at Zhong Yating with displeasure.

For a moment, Zhong Yating felt like she was under attack.

She quickly explained, “Auntie, I didn’t mean it that way. Please arrange the wedding as you wish. I have no objections.”

Seeing the situation unfold, she dared not voice her opinions, fearing that this wedding, which she had insisted on, would bring about a storm. Perhaps, even this simple wedding wouldn’t be spared.
