Xu Yan nodded seriously, "Okay!" She bit her lip, "Should we tell my sister?"
Ye Jin thought for a moment, "We definitely should tell her. She should have time, right?"
Xu Yan took a bite of the snack Ye Jin handed her, "Hmm... if my sister is too busy to come, we can send her some treats instead."
Ye Jin looked at her tenderly, "Alright."
However... as it turned out, Liu Lingxiao was more than happy to attend their wedding. In fact, before Ye Jin could even finish speaking, she had eagerly agreed.
Xu Yan, who had been listening on the side, blinked and exchanged a glance with Ye Jin, "Is my sister avoiding someone?"
Ye Jin stroked his chin thoughtfully, "I don't know. Could someone be pursuing her?"
Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh. Ye Jin took her hand, ready to go home together, "Let's not worry about her for now. Let's go to your place first."
Xu Yan giggled, swinging her arm happily as they prepared to go home and discuss the big event.
When they arrived home, it was almost noon. Xu Yi and Xu Mo were both at home.
Surprisingly, upon hearing the purpose of the couple's visit, they were remarkably calm.
Bai Hua elegantly sipped her tea, "So, you've made your decision?"
Ye Jin looked serious, "Auntie, I've prepared everything. I just need you and Uncle Xu to agree to let me marry Yan."
Xu Yi sighed softly, "I had hoped Yan would stay with us for a couple more years."
Bai Hua gave him a light slap, "Don't interrupt, or Yan might get upset with you."
Xu Yan shot a quick glance at them, "Mom, I won't be like I was when I was little!"
Xu Mo lazily swirled his teacup, "Really?"
Xu Yan's gaze wavered, "Um... of course it's true!"
Bai Hua clicked her tongue, "Can't you all be more serious?"
Xu Mo sighed, "Mom, it's not that I'm not being serious. Look at these two, they've been together for over a year. Would it make any difference if we didn't agree?"
Bai Hua rested her face on her hand, her gaze moving between Xu Yan and Ye Jin, "You're right. Well, do as you see fit."
Xu Yan: "?"
She frowned, "Mom!"
Xu Yi coughed, "Ahem, that's not what your mother means. Of course, we won't stop you two, but getting married isn't something you just decide on a whim."
Ye Jin spoke up promptly, "Uncle Xu, I've prepared everything. We just need you to set a specific date and confirm the guest list on your side."
Bai Hua was a bit curious, "Have you really prepared everything? Including the rings and wedding dress? And all the little details?"
Ye Jin nodded solemnly, "Yes."
Xu Yan looked confused, "When did you prepare all this?"
Ye Jin looked at her innocently, "I've been preparing since we got together."
Bai Hua seemed quite satisfied, "There's one last thing. As your only relative, will your sister be attending your and Yan's wedding?"
Ye Jin nodded, "Of course."
Xu Mo looked at his phone, scrolling through something, "Looking at the calendar... there's an auspicious date for weddings next month."
Ye Jin's eyes lit up. Of course, he knew which day was auspicious, but it wouldn't mean anything if he suggested it.
Bai Hua looked at Xu Yan, "Yan, do you think next month might be too soon?"
Xu Yan sipped her yogurt, "Hmm... I think it's fine."
Feeling ignored, Xu Yi reluctantly said, "I think it's not... well, I suppose it's manageable."
Under the dual gaze of his wife and daughter, Xu Yi weakly changed his stance.
Ye Jin tried to maintain a semblance of restraint, "So... shall we set it for next month?"
Xu Mo, nitpicking, said, "We only need to set the date? It feels like we're not really involved."
Ye Jin thoughtfully replied, "I've prepared several options for everything, like invitations, wedding dresses, and rings. If you'd like, I can send them all to you, and you can choose the most suitable ones."
Xu Yi, Bai Hua, and Xu Mo: "..."
It seemed there was nothing left to criticize.
Xu Yan clapped enthusiastically, "Great! Ye Jin is amazing!"
Bai Hua couldn't help but smile, "You two! Well, let's settle on this then. Ye Jin, send us everything that hasn't been decided yet. We'd like to be more involved in Yan's wedding."
Xu Yi reluctantly added, "If you need anything, just let us know."
Xu Mo didn't say much to Ye Jin. Instead, he rubbed Xu Yan's face with a hint of worry, "Yan, I hope I can find a girlfriend before you start having kids."
Xu Yan didn't even blush. She leaned against Ye Jin, laughing hysterically, "Hahahaha! Brother, are you really that pathetic?"
Xu Mo: "..."
This brat!
Bai Hua had come to terms with it all. She even glanced at Xu Mo, "Don't jinx yourself. Be careful, or you really might not find a girlfriend."
Xu Mo: "..."
A double blow to the heart.
It was easier said than done, but all five of them genuinely got busy with preparations.
Xu Yan cradled a pile of wedding dress photos, looking through them. Beside her, Ye Jin was constantly messaging people, presumably also preparing for the wedding.
Xu Yan poked him, "Ye Jin, I've only just graduated from university."
Ye Jin smiled and hugged her, "Isn't that nice? Fresh out of university and already becoming the proprietress of a bar."
Xu Yan pouted, "The bar is hardly ever open properly. Won't it go bankrupt?"
Ye Jin couldn't help but laugh, "Yan, are you really worried about that? Don't worry, your man has money."
Xu Yan wasn't really concerned about it. She grinned mischievously, "Ye Jin, if you ever run out of money, I'll support you with my little savings."
Ye Jin tightened his arms around her, "Alright, then I'll give you all my money first, to fatten up your savings."
Xu Yan couldn't stop laughing, "No way! I'm not good at managing money!"
"Can you two stop flirting?" Xu Mo, sitting nearby, couldn't take it anymore. He slammed a few invitation cards on the table.
Xu Yan held back her laughter, "Brother, we're not flirting. Isn't this how normal couples act? We're about to get married, you know."
Xu Mo didn't want to engage, "You've really grown thicker skin."
"Am I late?" An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl wearing a red shirt strode into the bar.
Xu Yan's eyes lit up at the sound of the voice: "Sister! You're here so early?"
Liu Lingxiao deftly hooked her arm around Xu Yan's neck: "Little one, are you happy to see me?"
Xu Yan chuckled: "Of course I am! I just thought you'd come a bit later."
Xu Mo stared at the girl in front of him, who looked very much like Ye Jin's sister but was nearly ten years younger, feeling a bit bewildered.
"Miss Liu?"
Liu Lingxiao paused mid-step and looked at Xu Mo: "Mr. Xu, it's been a while."
Ye Jin's face darkened: "Sis!"
Can't this woman be a little more reliable?
Liu Lingxiao couldn't be bothered to look at him: "What are you shouting for? Go find me something to eat."
Xu Yan also came to her senses. She timidly tugged at Liu Lingxiao's clothes and whispered: "Sister, you weren't like this the last time my brother saw you..."
