Su Yunjin came up with an idea. Then she asked Xiao Yunyun, âShen Yuechuan isnât your cup of tea. So whoâs your type?â
âAnyone like my cousin-in-law!â Xiao Yunyun blurted out without thinking.
Xiao Yunyun thought that they wouldnât find the second Lu Boyan in the world since the only one they knew had already married Su Jianan.
âMom wonât say anything more about it, will she?â
However, no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Su Yunjin calmly asked, âWhat do you like about your cousin-in-law?â
Xiao Yunyun smiled and said firmly, âHeâs handsome!â
Su Yunjin knew that Xiao Yunyun was talking nonsense. However, she didnât want to unmask her daughter. She simply said, âLet me introduce you to a young man like him.â
That was beyond Xiao Yunyunâs expectations. She blinked and then shook her head decisively. âNo! I wonât love any young men unless theyâre either as excellent as my cousin-in-law or better than him!â
Su Yunjin poked Xiao Yunyun in the forehead. âYou spoke as if your cousin-in-law would like you.â
Xiao Yunyun felt embarrassed. âAm I any worse than my cousin?â
âIf nothing else, youâre not Su Jianan. Thatâs why youâll never meet the expectations of your cousin-in-law!â Then Su Yunjin said with a serious look, âWell, stop joking. The young man is my old friendâs son. I know his family well. He has a good upbringing. You can meet him first and then try to start a relationship with him if you think heâs nice. Maybe youâll want to marry him in the end.â
âNo!â Xiao Yunyun yelled without hesitation. âIn the past, you asked me not to start a relationship with anyone, and I followed your advice. Now I donât want to start a relationship with anyone, and you have to respect my choice! Ms. Su, a philosopher once said that a person shouldnât be too overbearing...â
Su Yunjin thought for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. âOkay, Iâll arrange it for you.â
Xiao Yunyun thought that Su Yunjin meant more than that. She grabbed her bag and said, âIâm going back to my apartment!â
âArenât you going to stay here with me?â asked Su Yunjin.
Xiao Yunyun snorted and said, âIâm afraid that you will introduce me to any man that passes by!â Then she stormed out with her bag in hand.
The fact was that she would do as Su Yunjin said even if she arranged for her to have a blind date.
The main reason why she hastened to leave was that she had to help Shen Yuechuan change his dressing early the next morning.
She thought it would be embarrassing if her mother knew that she would help Shen Yuechuan change his dressing since she had told her mother that she didnât like him. She left early so that others wouldnât see her when she went to Shen Yuechuanâs house the next day.
Xiao Yunyun received a call from Su Yicheng on her way back. He asked if she and Su Yunjin had reached the hotel.
âShen Yuechuan drove us back,â replied Xiao Yunyun and countered with a question, âCousin, when is your flight tomorrow?â
âAt 11 oâclock in the morning.â Su Yicheng asked, âWhat about your mom? When is she leaving for Australia?â
âShe told me that she would go back as soon as your wedding is over,â Xiao Yunyun thought for a moment and said, âSheâll leave in a few days. Take it easy and enjoy your honeymoon. Mr. Lu will help to arrange it even if my father doesnât when my mom sets off.â
âYuechuan will help you even if Boyan doesnât,â Su Yicheng said with a meaningful smile, âI can count on him.â
Xiao Yunyun muttered, âWhat does it have to do with Shen Yuechuan?â
âDonât you know?â With that, Su Yicheng hung up without waiting for Xiao Yunyunâs reply.
Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi were in their room at the hotel.
Upon seeing Su Yicheng lay down his cellphone, Luo Xiaoxi walked over to him and asked, âWhat did Yunyun say?â
âYuechuan drove her and my aunt back to their hotel.â Su Yicheng turned around and gazed gently at Luo Xiaoxi.
âI just found out thatââ Luo Xiaoxi continued with a mysterious tone, âYour aunt likes Yuechuan very much!â
Su Yicheng said leisurely, âYunyun likes him more.â
â...â Luo Xiaoxi didnât know what to say. After a while, she said to Su Yicheng, âYou won. But, will you say no if Yunyun starts a relationship with Yuechuan?â
âNo,â Su Yicheng said with a calm look, âI know Yuechuan well. Theyâll live a happy life.â
âThen Iâm relieved.â Luo Xiaoxi then suddenly asked, âItâs time for them to express their feelings for each other, isnât it?â
âItâs only a matter of time.â Su Yicheng gazed at Luo Xiaoxi with deep love. âShouldnât you care more about us for now?â
âAbout us?â Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng with confusion. Finally, she bit her lips while smiling shyly as if she had read his mind. âItâs still early...â
Su Yicheng bowed his head with a graceful smile as if he were going to kiss her lips. However, he suddenly patted her head and said, âWhat are you thinking about? Change your dress. Mom and dad are waiting for us downstairs.â
Luo Xiaoxi felt embarrassed. She said with a serious look, âIâm not thinking about anything. Your look confused me!â
With that, she ducked into the coatroom to put on her casual clothes. After that, she went downstairs with Su Yicheng.
âDad, Mom!â Luo Xiaoxi ran to them as soon as she saw Lao Luo and Mrs. Luo, who had been waiting in the hotel lobby.
Mrs. Luo looked at Luo Xiaoxi with love while giving her a helpless look. âWhat a rash married girl. Be sedate, will you?â
Luo Xiaoxi didnât take it seriously. She held Su Yichengâs hand and said, âHeâs sedate, and thatâs enough!â She thought that their lives would be like daily business meetings if she were as sedate as Su Yicheng.
Mrs. Luo decided to stop reproving Luo Xiaoxi because she believed that Su Yicheng would tolerate her daughter. She pushed two suitcases over to them and said, âYour baggage just arrived. Weâre not going to drive you to the airport tomorrow. Call us to let us know youâre safe after you deplane.â
âOkay!â Luo Xiaoxi nodded. Then she suddenly said, âLao Luo, why not take a few days off and travel with my mom?â
Mrs. Luo waved her hands before Lao Luo could say anything. She said, âYour wedding tired us out. I need a rest to get refreshed. Enjoy your honeymoon and... bring us good news when you return.â
Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng both knew what her mother meant by saying âgood newsâ.
However, Luo Xiaoxi didnât want a baby for the time being, and Su Yicheng respected her choice. Luo Xiaoxi had always deliberately avoided talking about having a baby, except that Mrs. Luo had occasionally mentioned it.
However, they were supposed to have a baby after they got married in the eyes of the older generation.
Luo Xiaoxi realized that she couldnât avoid the topic for the rest of her life, even though she could temporarily avoid it.
She cast a pleading look at Su Yichengâshe thought that her mother would let her go if Su Yicheng mediated between them, since her mother had already regarded him as her son.
Su Yicheng immediately got Luo Xiaoxiâs point. He held her shoulder and said, âDad, Mom, we... will do it as soon as possible.â
Upon hearing his words, Mrs. Luo took it for granted that Su Yicheng also wanted to have a baby. She smiled with relief and said, âHave a good rest. Donât miss your flight tomorrow. Iâm going back with your dad.â
Luo Xiaoxi walked Lao Luo and her mother out of the hotel. She dropped her shoulders as they drove away, and then she turned around to enter the hotel.
Su Yicheng stopped her.
âArenât you going back?â The confused Luo Xiaoxi said with a teasing smile, âAre you going to stay here to add luster to the hotel?â
âWhy do you want to go back?â Su Yicheng checked the time. âYuechuan and the others will come here before ten oâclock tonight.â
Only then did Luo Xiaoxi realize that the last part of their wedding was waiting for themâplaying in the bridal chamber.
She and Su Yicheng wouldnât be at peace in the first half of the night if they stayed in the hotel.
Luo Xiaoxi felt as if all the cells in her body were shouting to refuse it. She looked at Su Yicheng and asked, âWhere are we going?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Yicheng asked someone to drive his car there, and then he told the hotel manager, âShow them our best when Yuechuan and the others return. Itâs included in my wedding expenses. However, donât tell them that Xiaoxi and I are not here.â
The manager nodded, without asking where Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi would go. He silently watched their car leave.
Upon seeing their car running farther and farther away from the hotel, Luo Xiaoxi felt both curious and confused. âWhere on earth are we going?â
Su Yicheng tapped his lean fingers on the steering wheel with a mysterious smile. âYouâll know when we get there.â
The car ran toward a certain direction in the city and stopped at a well-known villa district after 30 minutes.
The city had been at war a hundred years in the past, and dozens of beautiful western-style houses had been built there, where many notables had lived.
At the moment, each of the western-style houses there was worth a fortune.
Luo Xiaoxi remembered that Su Jianan had said that she wouldnât marry anyone if it wasnât Lu Boyan and she would buy a house there to enjoy her old age in peace.
âBut Iâm not so obsessed with the houses here as Su Jianan. Why did Su Yicheng bring me here?â
Su Yicheng saw from Luo Xiaoxiâs look that she didnât recall anything. However, he was in no hurry. He took Luo Xiaoxiâs hand and walked into one of the houses, then he leisurely asked, âDoes it ring a bell?â
âWhy?â Luo Xiaoxi didnât get Su Yichengâs point at all. âBy the way, when did you buy this house? How come I didnât know?â
âI bought it a few years ago,â Su Yicheng said, âJianan had yet to marry Boyan at the time. She said that she liked the houses here, so I bought one.â
âThen why did you buy this one?â Luo Xiaoxi felt confused. âThere are so many houses here.â
Su Yicheng frowned. âDonât you remember anything?â
Luo Xiaoxi suddenly found that some parts of it looked familiar as she glanced around the house. She thought back and finally realizedâit was the place where she had met Su Yicheng for the first time.
It was where she had fallen in love with Su Yicheng, and from then on she began to pursue him.
Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng with disbelief. âWhy did you buy it?â
