Wang Baoliang heard He Jinxuanâs words: "Youâre really something, just digging holes without filling them, just wanting to watch the fun, huh?"
He Jinxuan laughed: "You still have time to go back and be extra nice today."
Wang Baoliang wiped his face: "Weâve been an old couple for ages; thereâs no longer that kind of leisure and romance."
To ease the awkwardness, he quickly changed the topic: "When are the people from your hometown coming over?"
He Jinxuan called home from a phone booth yesterday after leaving the Gu Family: "Big Brother, Iâm getting married."
He Jiefang hadnât even caught his breath when he heard his younger brotherâs words from the receiver, his eyes instantly lit up: "Really?
Lately Mom and Dad have been talking about this a lot, theyâre also worried little sister might cause you trouble when she comes over."
Before He Jinxuan could say anything else, he heard his brother excitedly ask: "What day is it set for?
Will the wedding be held in Sanyuan or Beijing?"
He Jinxuan heard the rapid-fire questions and cleared his throat: "Itâs set for August 16th. I plan to have it in Beijing first, then when we go back for New Year, weâll host a few tables and invite some close friends for a drink."
He Jiefang thought about his sister-in-law being a student and knew it might be difficult to ask for time off: "Alright, Iâll tell Mom and Dad when I get home, and weâll go over early."
He Jinxuan just didnât want his matter to delay everyoneâs work: "Big Brother, Iâve got everything sorted here, donât let my matter affect your work."
He Jiefang naturally understood what he meant: "Your wedding is a big deal, especially considering our two families are quite different. We may not be able to help much, but we certainly wonât be a burden."
Without further ado, he finalized the plans to come to the Capital.
Then he heard Wang Baoliangâs question: "Theyâll be coming three days early, and we might need to trouble you to make a trip."
Wang Baoliang agreed with a smile: "With our relationship, why bother about being troublesome or not? Youâve helped me many times too."
The two exchanged a knowing smile and got busy with their work.
At that moment a young man helping out on the side came over: "Captain He, I hear Vice Captain Lu is also getting married, and the date clashes with yours."
He Jinxuan was taken aback: "Who did you hear this from?"
The young man smiled honestly: "Heâs marrying Old Weiâs sister-in-law from logistics."
He Jinxuan glanced at the young man, thinking: Almost fooled by this kidâs innocent appearance.
Indeed, he didnât know about this.
Old Wei previously wanted to introduce his sister-in-law to him, but upon hearing he already had a fiancée, he gave up the idea.
Unexpectedly, Old Wei acted quite fast and introduced his sister-in-law to Vice Captain Lu.

He Jinxuanâs side was bustling, and Xinyan wasnât far behind.
Today she passed the second round of selection, and thereâs one more competition in two days, after which those who pass will undergo a week of intensive closed training.
News also came from the medical school that tomorrow, besides her finals, thereâll be a live assessment by several professors.
So these days, sheâs been non-stop busy, tired but happy, as the chance to join a delegation for an overseas visit is rare, and she definitely doesnât want to miss it.
Jiang Peiqin came over and nudged her with her elbow: "Sis, impressive! Didnât expect your French to be so fluent, looks like youâve got this."
Xinyan curled her lips into a smile: "You did well too, go back and prepare for the next round, good sisters have to stick together."
Jiang Peiqin was excited at the thought of going abroad: "Agreed, Iâll do my best to accompany you."
