Chapter 1139: Setting the Wedding Date

Xinyan heard her cousin’s question, and with a smile, pinched her on the nose: "You’re about to have a baby, shouldn’t I also be getting married?"

Sun Zhenling blushed a little, but still joked: "So, you want a kid early too?"

Xinyan lifted her hand and tapped her forehead: "What are you thinking?"

Sun Zhenling covered the spot that hurt: "Cousin, I’m already stupid, and you hit me."

Xinyan glanced at her belly: "Hmm, really shouldn’t hit your head. Can’t affect my niece’s intelligence."

Sun Zhenling wouldn’t have it, and just then saw her mom approaching: "Mom, cousin is bullying me."

Han Chunxue said disdainfully: "You’re going to be a mom, and you’re still tattling."

Sun Zhenling turned to Xinyan: "Alas, hearing this, my heart feels so cold."

She added a playful expression, making Xinyan laugh.

Han Chunxue gave her daughter a glare: "You’re pregnant right now, do fewer pulling actions."

Sun Zhenling pouted and whined: "See, in your eyes, I’m less important than this little sprout in my belly."

These words made Han Chunxue angry and amused: "Oh, you’ve got quite the mouth, getting married made you change your nature?"

Xinyan smiled at Sun Zhenling: "Isn’t it your husband spoiling you?"

Upon hearing this, Han Chunxue thought of her son-in-law’s many kindnesses to her daughter after marriage, and felt even softer, very satisfied at heart.

Sun Zhenling chirped: "With so many people backing me up, how could he not be good to me?"

As her words fell, Yuan Yikai walked over: "Are you speaking ill of me?"

Sun Zhenling laughed: "No, I’m praising you."

When He Jinxuan arrived with gifts, several senior brothers and sisters happened to arrive with the master and mistress as well.

Xinyan hadn’t expected fourth senior brother to rush back from out of town, quickly ushering him in: "Fourth senior brother, when did you come back?"

With smiling eyes, she looked at her master and mistress: "Why didn’t you tell me earlier that fourth senior brother was coming back?"

Mr. Du laughed: "Naturally wanted to give you a surprise."

Xinyan worried: "Having taken leave this time to return, once my wedding date is fixed, can you take leave again?"

Fourth senior brother Qian Wanning laughed: "Don’t worry. Once your wedding date is fixed, I’ll book leave with the unit in advance. Let’s see who dares to compete with me."

This one sentence had the courtyard laughing.

Ushered into the living room and sitting for a chat.

Han Jingchen had previously agreed to their marriage, naturally wouldn’t go back on it.

Mr. Gu was different: "Jinxuan, come with me to the study."

No one knew what the two talked about in the study, but when they came out, it was clear both were in a joyful mood.

Uncle Han Jingheng said: "Seems like this guy passed the old man’s test."

Just as he finished speaking, Mr. Du and several disciples called He Jinxuan over.

Cousin Shang Zhenhai sympathized: "Getting past these hurdles isn’t easy for cousin’s fiancé."

Han Chunxue raised her hand and gave her younger son a slap: "Whose side are you on?"

Shang Zhenhai rubbed his sore head: "Of course, cousin’s side."

He didn’t dare say it was just showing a bit of sympathy for cousin’s fiancé, fearing his mom would give him another slap.

Granny Zhang and Uncle Shanzi arrived just before noon, and Xinyan jogged over: "Granny Zhang, Uncle Shanzi, come on in."

Zhang Yueshan apologized: "Sorry, got held up with something unexpected, arrived late."

Gu Wanqing laughed, welcoming Granny Zhang inside: "Not late, not late, come in and sit."

Xinyan laughed: "Granny Zhang, you’ve been staying at Uncle Shanzi’s place for half a month, when are you coming back to the little courtyard? Grandma Tong’s asked me several times."

Gu Wanqing smiled at her daughter: "Your Granny Zhang has real business to attend to, don’t hold her back."

Xinyan initially didn’t react: "What business?"

Gu Wanqing smiled, tapped her on the forehead without explanation, but upon seeing Uncle Shanzi, Xinyan understood: "Oh, I get it, get it, mom, you’re right, handling business is indeed important."

She then approached Granny Zhang’s ear: "Granny Zhang, any progress?"

Granny Zhang’s face was all smiles, nodding at Xinyan: "There’s indeed good news, but it still hasn’t been settled."

Xinyan cheered up, glancing over at Zhang Yueshan chatting with the men: "That’s really great."

They were animatedly chatting when someone from the kitchen arrived: "Mr. Gu, food is ready, you can start at any time."

From the moment Mr. Gu emerged from the study with He Jinxuan, he wholly embraced this grandson-in-law, smilingly inviting everyone: "Let’s move to the dining room and chat while we eat."

At the table, He Jinxuan was entirely accommodating, without bold guarantees, but continued working hard in his way to gain everyone’s approval.

During the meal, everyone enjoyed themselves immensely, and the couple’s wedding date was set for August 16th.
