Tang Xiling subconsciously glanced at Yun Laohu and leaned forward in her chair. "What wedding?"
Yun Jingqi blinked twice and immediately turned to her younger brother. "What's wrong, Tiger? You haven't told her yet."
Yun Jingting said indifferently, "What's there to talk about if it hasn't been arranged yet?"
"Look at your temper. Your words are so smelly and stubborn." Second Sister Yun pointed at her younger brother with her finger. She was really speechless and turned to Mi Xaing 'er. "See? He's like this. If I say a word to him, he can make me choke two miles away. I think only you can deal with him."
Mi Xaing 'er smiled faintly and did not say anything.
Tang Xiling could not wait to ask, "Yun Jingting, what's going on with the wedding?"
This was the first time she had called her son-in-law's name formally.
Yun Jingting stood up straight and answered respectfully, "I heard what my brother-in-law said. Although he's a child, he's not wrong. I do owe Mi Xaing 'er a wedding. Girls all want to marry in a dignified manner. Besides, without this wedding, although I don't think it's a big deal, in the eyes of others, it does seem a little improper. It's obviously legal and reasonable, but it still feels a little sneaky."
These words sounded a little like an indirect "accusation".
Tang Xiling felt a little embarrassed, so she lowered her head and did not say anything.
Yun Jingting raised his eyebrows. "Just as I've explained before, the organization wants me to keep a low profile as much as possible. However, after weighing the pros and cons, I can't let Mi Xaing 'er suffer. Even if I'm punished, it won't be a big punishment. It's just a matter of getting married. It's just that I'm not a good wife. It's not a big problem.
I can handle it. "He said it so casually, but everyone knew that no matter what kind of punishment it was, it was a big deal in the army.
Mi Xaing 'er was the first to stand up. She really could not hold it in anymore. "Yun Jingting, are you saying that you want to make a decision this time again? You want to hold a wedding with me without the organization's approval? Are you crazy? The wedding banquet is just a formality. I don't care about this at all, and I don't want to see you affect your future because of it. No, I don't agree, I definitely don't agree!"
Disagree!
Definitely disagree!
Tang Xiling became anxious when she heard this. She glared at Mi Xaing 'er. However, because Second Sister of the Yun family was present, she was too embarrassed to stop her daughter.
She coughed twice.
What she meant was, "My dear, don't talk so much!"
Yun Jingqi was also a clever person. Since her brother had already arranged everything, of course, he had already made up his mind. "Xiao Mi 'er, I'm very grateful that you're willing to think about my brother's future. This also shows me why he wants to marry you. I think that husband and wife should think about each other. You're thinking about the tiger, and so is his heart. He's thinking about you all the time!"
She turned to Tang Xiling. "Auntie, it's not that I'm selling melons, but my brother is indeed a rare good man. He's a man of his word, and he values relationships and loyalty. Although he looks a little cold on the outside and has a stubborn temper sometimes, his heart is warm. If anyone treats him well, he'll do his best to repay them!"
As an elder, Tang Xiling's only answer was a smile, a satisfied smile.
Yun Laohu tried to end the conversation. "It's getting late. I think everyone should rest. As for Mi Xaing 'er and my wedding, I've already arranged everything. You don't have to worry. If you don't mind, my sister plans to stay here until the wedding ends. This is also her own idea. She wants to help more!"
Yun Jinqi immediately said, "Yes, this is my idea. I hope it won't cause you any trouble!"
At this point …
Mi Xaing 'er couldn't say anything else. He didn't want to argue with Yun Jingting in front of outsiders. All men wanted to save face, let alone such an outstanding man.
She pulled Yun Jingqi over. "Okay, Sister, I'll prepare a room for you first. If there's anything we want to talk about, we can talk about it tomorrow. Rest first!"
Yun Laohu immediately agreed with his wife. "Yes, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Rest first!"
Tang Xiling stood up gracefully, tidied his hair, and spoke slowly and clearly. "Xiang 'er, prepare the best room in the west wing for Second Sister of the Yun family. If you need anything, you can come over and get it from me. You must make sure that everything is arranged properly!"
He turned to Yun Jingqi. "I hope you can treat this place as your own home. Don't stand on ceremony!"
Without saying anything else, he turned around and went back to his bedroom.
Everyone in the house was the younger generation, so naturally, everyone spoke more casually. Yun Jingting leaned over to Mi Xaing 'er and lowered his voice. "You know, right? I'm still not used to your mother suddenly acting so normal!"
"Yes!"
Yun Laohu had a teasing look on his face. He deliberately patted his chest. "I'm a little scared!"
Mi Xaing 'er glared at him coquettishly. "Go away! Stop joking around!"
Yun Jingting laughed. "Xiang 'er, I'll leave my sister to you. I'll go and check on Fu Bowen. I heard that he's injured!"
At the mention of this, Mi Xaing 'er was a little worried. She raised her head and looked at him quietly, as if she wanted to see something from his face. But in the end, he looked calm and collected.
It was not good to say too much in front of Second Sister, so he could only nod. "Okay, then don't sleep first. I still have something to tell you!"
Yun Longhu's back was facing his sister. He raised one eyebrow and smirked. There was a hint of teasing in his tone. "Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night? Men and women shouldn't touch each other! We haven't held our wedding yet, so we should avoid arousing suspicion!"
"You!"
When Yun Laohu saw his wife pouting, he really wanted to hug and kiss her, but he resisted the urge. "Alright, alright. I'm just teasing you! I'll wait for you!"
He went out happily.
Mi Xaing 'er then led Yun Jingqi into the West Wing room. They chatted as they made the quilt. "Second Sister, you must be tired from the journey!"
"I'm alright!"
Mi Xaing 'er paused what she was doing and turned to look at her. "Second Sister, there's something I haven't had the time to tell you. I was busy talking to my mother about the wedding just now!"
"What is it?"
"Yes, my mother suffered a lot in the shelter. Although she looks normal now, she's still a little …"
Mi Xaing 'er tapped her forehead. It was obvious that her train of thought had short-circuited. "So, there are some things that she can't think of. I should have thanked you in person today. Thank you for helping to get her out of Guangdong!"
Yun Jingqi did not wait for her to finish speaking. "Mi 'er, aren't you saying something unnecessary? We're all family! Why are you still being so polite?"
Although she said that, she also admired Mi Xaing 'er's thoughtfulness and eloquence.
Everyone liked to hear nice words, and Yun Jingqi was no exception.
She held Mi Xaing 'er's hand affectionately, "To be honest, when Tiger first said that he was getting married, I was still a little puzzled. Tiger is handsome and has an outstanding figure. Many girls have liked him since he was young, but he didn't even look at them! At that time, I often wondered what my future sister-in-law would be like! Later on, I heard that you're from the countryside! Don't mind me! I'm not saying that rural girls aren't good!"
Mi Xaing 'er smiled. "I understand what you mean. You're saying that Yun Jingting and I have different habits and ways of thinking, so it's extremely difficult to synchronize and reconcile with each other!"
Thinking
Differences
Reconciliation
Yun Jingqi was a little surprised. A girl who could casually say these words should be considered knowledgeable and insightful in that era.
She quietly looked at Mi Xaing 'er. She also felt that it was strange. The more time she spent with her, the more she realized that there was something different about her. No wonder this girl could make her younger brother fall head over heels for her.
Fall head over heels for her?
That's right!
In Yun Jingqi's eyes, this word was not an exaggeration at all.
This afternoon …
Yun Laohu specially went to her sister's workplace and kindly begged her to come over and help preside over the wedding.
To be honest, no matter how open-minded Yun Jingqi was, she also knew the pros and cons behind the wedding. In order not to let her younger brother be punished, she also spoke up to persuade her. "Don't be anxious! Take it slow! Let's talk about it later!"
But no matter what she said, Yun Laohu looked determined and unwavering. In the end, she even seemed like she was about to fall out with her. "Isn't this the only thing I've ever asked you to do in my entire life? If you don't want to do it, then forget it!" She turned around and was about to leave.
Yun Jingqi knew her younger brother's temper. If she really angered him this time, it would be very difficult to coax him next time. Hence, she could only take a few days off and follow him here in the middle of the night.
Along the way, she thought about how her younger brother was behaving now. Wasn't this the legendary falling in love with someone and being obsessed with love?
At this moment …
When she saw Mi Xaing 'er, she felt a little relieved. This girl was indeed different from the rest.
After pondering for a moment, she decided to say a few words for her younger brother. She walked to the window and faced the moonlight. She said gently, "Xiao Mi 'er, you'll be considered a member of our family in the future. There are some things that I don't want to hide from you …"
“”
"Our family is considered high-ranking in the eyes of outsiders. Haven't I told you about this tiger?"
"No, he hasn't …"
"My father is a leader in the military." Yun Jingqi still decided to be more tactful. "As for the conflict between him and my brother, it's because of my mother. My mother's background isn't very good. She's considered the daughter of a capitalist family. After the liberation, her whole family went to America. She stayed behind for my father's sake …"
Mi Xaing 'er listened quietly. In that era, it seemed like every family had some unknown story.
Yun Jingqi continued, "Later, the world started to become chaotic. For the sake of this family and the future of the children, my mother resolutely cut off all ties with my father. That's the so-called divorce. She lived alone outside."
“”
"Later on, my father remarried. Tiger has been brooding over this matter. He felt that my father should have kept waiting. Remarrying was equivalent to abandoning my mother. He didn't fulfill a man's responsibility to protect his wife. When he was 18 years old, he joined the army and left home. Since then, he basically hasn't gone back …"
Mi Xaing 'er remained silent and didn't say anything. Given the background of that era, coupled with that kind of family conditions, when a disaster was imminent, whether a husband and wife could stay together or fly away separately was a matter of opinion. No one could comment on who was right or wrong.
Yun Jingqi's slender fingers tapped on the window frame. Her fingertips were trembling a little nervously. Her voice was not as calm as before. "Regarding my father's choice, as a junior, I don't want to comment. But what I want to say is that I also understand that when others face great pressure, they will be weak. My father was like that, and so am I."
So am I.
In other words, Yun Jingqi's love was also bumpy …
Mi Xaing 'er was not a meddlesome person. When it was about others, if the other party took the initiative to speak, she wouldn't interrupt. If the other party didn't intend to continue, she wouldn't probe either.
After a long while …
Yun Jingqi slowly turned around. Her tone was a little emotional. "No matter what decision a person makes, they have to bear all the consequences themselves. Whether they regret it or not, only they will know in their dreams whether they will regret it or not …"
“”
"In short, after this incident, Old Tiger is especially stubborn about relationships. He always told me that marriage should be a lifetime of mutual help. Love shouldn't be given up halfway either. If he can't find a woman who can go through hardships with him, he would rather not get married in this lifetime …"
After listening to this, Mi Xaing 'er opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Yun Jingqi stared at her. "Xiao Mi 'er, my brother is a very strong-willed man. He also has a unique taste. If he believes that you are the only woman in his life, then he will treat you well wholeheartedly. As his sister, I have nothing to say. I can only wish the two of you a long and happy life …"
She lowered her eyelids. The darkness outside the window quietly covered her with a hint of desolation. "It's late, Mi 'er. Go to sleep …"
Mi Xaing 'er could only turn around. "Sister, you should sleep early too …"
She slowly walked out of the room.
Standing under the bright moonlight, she raised her head to look at the starry sky. Her thoughts were complicated.
She didn't know how much time had passed …
Suddenly …
A pair of strong and muscular arms pulled her into a warm embrace …
