For Yang Cheng, socializing and exchanging pleasantries were extremely boring. Hence, the wedding and the banquet were busy from morning to night, making it especially difficult for Yang Cheng.
Fortunately, not many people dared to take the initiative to speak to Yang Cheng, which saved him a lot of trouble.
However, Lin Ruoxi seemed to pay more attention to such occasions. Together with Guo Xuehua, she accompanied Yang Gongming to meet many of the rich and influential people in the military and government.
To Lin Ruoxi, this was no different from a kind of training. Although she was indeed good at doing business, she was still lacking in social skills.
Yang Cheng initially wanted to take the time to give the Bodhi Pills to Cai Ning and Tang Wan. However, the two women were busy with their own things and had no intention of leaving. So, he could only give up.
When it was late at night, most of the guests had left. Tang Wan and Cai Ning also went back with their families. With Lin Ruoxi around, the women were too embarrassed to talk to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng was a little helpless, but he finally let out a sigh of relief. He brought Lin Ruoxi to Li Dun and his wife.
Li Dun had been drinking for the whole day, but he did not seem to be getting drunk. It would be a miracle if a Xiantian Full Cycle cultivator could get drunk.
Tang Xin's wine was almost all stopped by Li Dun. After all, Tang Xin was pregnant. This was something that most of the guests knew.
When he saw Yang Cheng and his wife, Li Dun curled his lips and said, "Old Yang, you're too much. I haven't seen you for the whole day. Why are you only showing up now?"
"It's not like you don't know that I'm the center of attention wherever I go. How can I steal your limelight?"
Listening to the man's shameless words, Lin Ruoxi's gums were sore.
Li Dun hesitated for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "Since it's my big day, don't disgust me. Let's talk about something practical. How many red envelopes did you give me?"
"Zero," Yang Cheng said without hesitation.
"What?"
"Zero, that means I didn't give you a red packet," Yang Cheng said proudly.
Li Dun yelled, "Damn you, Yang! I'm only treating you to a bowl of ramen because I'm a poor wretch, but you, a rich bastard, aren't willing to pay a single cent!? "
"I don't have any red packets, but I do have some other things." Yang Cheng smiled mysteriously.
Li Dun's eyes lit up. "What is it? Take it out and see if it's a big diamond of more than ten carats. "
Yang Cheng smiled and turned to Lin Ruoxi. "Honey, Li Dun is the same as you. He also wants a gem as big as a cow's eye."
"I don't want it …" Lin Ruoxi mumbled, but she did mention it in her memory.
Tang Xin felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but pinch Li Dun's waist, but Li Dun couldn't care less.
Yang Cheng pointed outside the hall. "It's outside. We'll have to drive there. If the bride and groom aren't in a hurry to consummate their marriage, let's go for a walk."
"Still keeping me guessing …" Li Dun pouted unhappily. He turned to Tang Xin and asked, "Xin Er, are you tired? If you're tired, we won't go."
Li Dun was a cultivator, so he didn't feel tired. But Tang Xin had never practiced martial arts and she was pregnant. She needed to take good care of her.
Tang Xin felt a tinge of sweetness in her eyes. Li Dun was always thinking about her, and she cherished him very much. She had almost missed out on a man like him for a long time, and even now, she felt like a fool.
Fortunately, both of them were satisfied with the outcome.
"Let's go and have a look. I'm curious too." Tang Xin smiled.
After making the final decision, Yang Cheng gave some instructions to the Li family. The four of them left the guesthouse together.
Since Li Dun and Tang Xin had returned to their white suits and wedding gowns, they wore festive clothes so they didn't look awkward when they went out.
Although Lin Ruoxi didn't get along well with Tang Wan, she seemed to have a good impression of Tang Xin, Tang Wan's cousin. They chatted a lot along the way, which was rare for Yang Cheng.
The traffic in Yan Jin wasn't too heavy at night. After half an hour, they arrived at a commercial area outside the Third Ring Road.
After getting out of the car, the two young couples held hands and walked on the neon pedestrian street.
The bleak night breeze brought with it a variety of smells from the street. Amidst the hustle and bustle, there was a unique rhythm that made people feel at peace.
After walking for about ten minutes, Li Dun remembered "business" and asked, "Old Yang, where's the gift you mentioned? You're not trying to trick us, are you? "
Yang Cheng glanced at him and pointed at a coffee-colored shop with white LED lights about ten meters away. There was only one word on the sign: Ice Ream.
"That's it."
Li Dun and Tang Xin looked at each other, confused.
"Isn't that an ice cream shop? Is the gift the ice cream? "Tang Xin asked.
Li Dun's face twitched. "Xin Er, Old Yang must know that you like ice cream, so he purposely gave it to you."
"Alright, let's go in first." Yang Cheng ignored him and led Lin Ruoxi into the shop.
When the four of them entered the ice cream shop, Li Dun and Tang Xin realized that the interior of the ice cream shop was luxuriously decorated.
It was purely retro and nostalgic. Paired with Italian style, the design of flying arches and cross tiles, coupled with the rich colors of Baroque style, it was a dazzling sight.
In the middle of the shop was an ice cream processing station. Two Caucasian ice cream chefs and a few helpers were busy preparing ice cream for the customers.
All the ice cream was stored in exquisite glass containers. From afar, they could smell the rich fragrance of vanilla and cocoa. It was obvious that the quality of the ice cream was excellent.
"Mrs. Li, do you like this place?" Yang Cheng asked jokingly.
Tang Xin blushed and nodded, her eyes sparkling. "I've been here before, but I didn't know there was an ice cream shop like this."
"It opened not long ago. It's owned by a French ice cream chef. After working for the Vivoli family in Italy for more than ten years, he came to Hua Xia to open this shop. The quality of the ice cream here is very high," Yang Cheng explained.
"Old Yang, you're not really here just for ice cream, are you?" Li Dun was hurt.
Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi looked at each other and smiled at Li Dun's sad face.
"Honey, tell him. I can't bear to see his face anymore." Yang Cheng shook his head helplessly.
Lin Ruoxi smiled. "I heard from Yang Cheng that Tang Xin likes ice cream. Li Dun, I'm sure you'll like it too. There's no point in giving you jewelry, so we found this ice cream shop and bought it as a gift for you. "
"This shop?!" Li Dun was stunned.
Tang Xin didn't know how to react either. After a while, she waved her hands and said, "I don't think that's a good idea. It's too expensive. The shop alone costs more than five million and this ice cream shop is so high-end. This gift is too expensive …"
"Haha! Xin Er, you don't have to save money for them. It's not even a drop in the ocean for Old Yang. "Li Dun smiled." I was wondering why you're so stingy. Hehe … It's fine. Even if you don't want to give me a red packet, I can just give it to the ice cream shop. I'll just sell it and it'll still be money … "
"Don't you dare!!!"
Tang Xin reprimanded, "How could you do such a rude thing! This is their kind gesture! "
Li Dun smiled awkwardly. "Xin Er, I was just joking …"
Tang Xin scoffed. "You wouldn't dare to."
Li Dun lowered his head and looked like an obedient child. He was just joking. If Tang Xin really panicked, he would lose more than he gained.
Yang Cheng secretly despised him. He was indeed a henpecked man. But it seemed like he wasn't any better.
"Alright, stop fooling around," Lin Ruoxi said in a clear voice. "I've asked someone to leave the shop's name blank. You can just think of a name you like and install the LED lights."
"Ruoxi, you're so thoughtful." Tang Xin smiled gratefully.
Seeing that both husband and wife were satisfied with the gift, Lin Ruoxi felt a sense of accomplishment.
Then, the four of them sat in a booth by the window, ordered their favorite ice cream, and chatted enthusiastically.
Perhaps it was because Tang Xin was young, had the temperament of a young girl, and had a pure mind, but Lin Ruoxi was very relaxed when they talked.
The two women started talking about Hello Kitty's collection, then the hottest Korean dramas. They discussed which man deserved to die, which woman was a bitch, and all sorts of indignation. They completely ignored the two men!
Tang Xin used to be responsible for taking care of Tang Zhechen. She had nothing better to do in her free time, so she had a lot to talk about with Lin Ruoxi.
Later on, they talked about the child in Tang Xin's stomach. They talked about how to raise and educate a child.
Initially, Tang Xin was a little embarrassed that the child in her stomach wasn't Li Dun's, but Li Dun didn't care about it anymore.
Yang Cheng and Li Dun could only stare at each other and order two more ice cream.
When it was almost midnight, Tang Xin took out her phone and showed Lin Ruoxi some photos.
"Ruoxi, look, this is a photo of Li Dun when he was young. Grandpa showed it to me. Isn't he very honest?" Tang Xin giggled as she pointed at a chubby boy in a pair of baggy shorts holding a wooden rifle on his shoulder.
Li Dun wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. He cried, "Xin Er, you can't bully your husband like this!"
"I'm just looking, it's not a big deal. It's not like we're going to the newspapers." Tang Xin rejected Li Dun's complaint and continued showing Lin Ruoxi other photos.
Later on, Tang Xin even shared her own photos with Li Dun. She even made a composite of her and Li Dun's childhood photos. It was clear that Tang Xin had a lot of free time on her hands.
Lin Ruoxi's interest was piqued as well. Women were still full of gossipy nature. Things that were meaningless in the eyes of men were full of topics to talk about.
In the end, Lin Ruoxi took out her phone and showed Tang Xin the photos she had collected. Most of them were old photos from when she was young or when she was still a student. They were saved on the internet so it was easy to find them.
Tang Xin couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Ruoxi, you were so beautiful when you were young. If you were a child star, you would be famous!"
Yang Cheng was naturally interested as well. He looked at the photos of young and inexperienced girls and said proudly, "What are you talking about? Do you think those celebrities can compare to our Ruoxi?"
"That's true." Tang Xin nodded in agreement. "Oh right, Yang Cheng, where are your photos? We've all taken them out. You're the only one left. Don't you dare run away! "
Yang Cheng's face froze. The smile on his face disappeared and he fell silent.
