Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Wedding (Part 2)
Huo Tingdong and Li Yanzhou were originally helping Rong Ling set up the bridal chamber, but unexpectedly, it got done so quickly.
Half a year ago, Rong Ling bought a house, but where exactly he bought it, what kind of house it was, and whether it was in a complex or a villa, remained unknown.
After all, with housing prices so high in Beijing, even though he, a study-abroad student, was part of a project team that developed a vaccine already on the market, it’s unclear where he got the money to buy the house.
Li Yufei never specifically asked about it. Actually, she didn’t care if the house Rong Ling bought was big or small. She had lived in big houses since childhood, and even if she married him and lived in a complex, she wouldn’t mind.
She loves the person, and thus is willing to accept everything about him.
Huo Tingdong said, “The groom-to-be has help from someone else.”
Li Yufei walked over and said, “Mr. Huo, thank you for helping out. Are you here to pick up Qiqi?”
Lin Qi said, “I haven’t had enough fun yet.”
Li Yufei said, “If you don’t mind, you can stay over. Anyways, all the guest rooms upstairs are empty.”
Huo Tingdong said, “I don’t mind, but I hope we won’t be disturbing you.”
Lin Qi said, “How could we bother you? We still have plenty of places that haven’t been set up properly. Since you’re here, consider yourself our laborer!”
Huo Tingdong smiled indulgently, “Alright, at my wife’s command.”
From afar, Guan Yue watched and felt mixed emotions for a moment, both envious and hopeful.
She wasn’t feeling bitter, but was hoping that one day, miracles would happen; Du Shaoheng would recover and be able to stand up again.
She truly wished for Xixi to have a complete family and not lose her father.
Recently, she was feeling quite frustrated, but now with Li Yufei getting married, during such an event, she didn’t want to ruin anyone’s mood, so she forced herself to smile along.
Li Yufei even took some time to comfort her, which made her feel much better.
The presence of Huo Tingdong and Li Yanzhou made the atmosphere even livelier.
Lin Qi held Li Yufei’s hand and began imagining the scene when Rong Ling comes to pick her up.
“Honey, you need to go to the groom’s place earlier tomorrow, you are part of the Brotherhood.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Can I not go? I want to be with you.”
Li Yufei said, “You’ve been married for so long, and still glued to each other.”
Lin Qi couldn’t help but laugh, then returned to the topic, “How could you not go? When the groom comes to pick up the bride, we are going to block the door. If you and Yanzhou stick around here, he’ll be outnumbered and blocked outside by us, what should we do then?”
Guan Yue said, “Yeah, since you guys are here, the groom doesn’t have any helpers.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Who knows what kind of pranks you have planned, I don’t want to get pranked.”
Li Yanzhou said, “Sis, let me come over and help you block the door.”
Li Yufei looked startled, “You and Mr. Huo are both coming to block the door?”
Li Yanzhou said, “Why not?”
Li Yufei said, “With just you at the door, he’s by himself.”
Li Yanzhou said, “You aren’t married yet, why start standing up for him. I’ve said long ago, he should know that marrying my sister isn’t easy!”
Li Yufei was amused, it took her a while to hold back her laughter, “You, you don’t want him to marry me away?”
Li Yanzhou said, “Of course not.”
Huo Tingdong said, “So, how are you planning to block the door?”
Lin Qi laughed and suddenly got serious, “We’ve set up electric nets on all the high walls of the villa, the front door is securely locked. At that time, Guan Yue and I will block the main door, the little ones will guard the inner door, and the rest of the Sisterhood will be on standby in the bridal chamber! We’ve prepared a lot of surprises for the groom and the Brotherhood!”
Li Yufei suddenly remembered something and slightly covered her nose, “Qiqi previously prepared some mixed drinks, sparkling wine with oil, salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, wasabi, lemon, and fish sauce. It’s terrifying.”
Huo Tingdong’s face slightly changed color, and he exchanged a look with Li Yanzhou, increasingly determined to betray.
He had a premonition that if they went back to help Rong Ling pick up the bride, they’d have to drink the devilish concoction.
Guan Yue said, “You guys, don’t scare the groom away.”
Li Yanzhou said, “If he runs away, then he lacks guts! A grown man can’t handle even this bit of hardship?”
Lin Qi couldn’t help teasing him, “You’re a grown man, do you want to give it a try?”
Li Yanzhou instantly showed a wronged and innocent expression, “Qiqi, I and Tingdong are on your side, you won’t have the heart to mistreat me, right?”
Huo Tingdong held onto Lin Qi and wouldn’t let go, “Wife, I don’t care, I’m here to seek refuge with you.”
Lin Qi said with disdain, “You guys are a hassle, Rong Ling is so pitiful.”
Everyone roared with laughter.
Lin Qi suddenly stopped laughing and sighed, “Yufei, it’s really touching, you and Rong Ling are finally going to be together! Congratulations! You’ve also gone through so many challenges, and now, you can finally find happiness!”
Guan Yue also said, “Yeah, who would’ve thought, he’s such a capable person, still studying abroad, yet he can prepare a wedding for Li Yufei and even buy a house in Beijing. Given his thin family background, he managed to carve out such a path. I’m truly surprised.”
Just then—
Li Yanzhou’s phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and glanced at it; it was a call from Rong Ling.
He motioned for silence and answered the call.
From the other end came Rong Ling’s puzzled voice, “Little brother-in-law, where are you?”
Li Yanzhou awkwardly coughed, “Setting up the bridal chamber was tiring, came out for a break.”
Rong Ling asked, “Is Huo Tingdong with you?”
Li Yanzhou looked over at Huo Tingdong.
Huo Tingdong glanced around deliberately.
Li Yanzhou said, “Yes, he’s with me.”
Rong Ling couldn’t help being skeptical, “You guys didn’t ditch me, did you?”
Li Yanzhou was silent, too guilty to speak.
After thinking it over, he replied confidently, “Hey, my sister isn’t married yet, so I’m not officially part of your family. I’m part of my sister’s family, so I should be here to block doors, not helping you pick up the bride.”
Rong Ling said, “…Then what about Huo Tingdong?”
Li Yanzhou looked at Huo Tingdong.
Huo Tingdong casually lay down on the sofa, playing it cool.
Li Yanzhou said, “Whether he helps you pick up the bride depends on how good his conscience is.”
At this point, the man whose conscience was questioned glared at Li Yanzhou with chilly disdain.
Rong Ling said, “Well done, I just treated you to dinner yesterday and today you ditch me.”
Li Yanzhou comforted, “Don’t worry, here’s the plan. I’ll infiltrate into the ‘enemy camp’, and when you come to pick up the bride, I’ll support you from this side. How do you like this plan?”
