Amidst everyoneâs chatter, the convoy for fetching the bride was ready.
Although He Jinxuan wasnât the most striking man in the crowd, his towering height of almost 1.9 meters, combined with a neat suit, made him look dashing and imposing.
Moreover, with his special grooming for the day, he left numerous young wives and ladies dazzled.
With the organizerâs shout of, "Depart."
The helpers immediately set off the fireworks.
The children in the family compound clapped and jumped: "Oh, theyâre fetching the bride, theyâre fetching the bride."
As the He familyâs convoy departed, the bridegroom convoy led by Vice Captain Lu had also gathered.
Today, Vice Captain Lu wore a brand-new Zhongshan suit, his hair sleekly styled. Although he aimed to outshine He Jinxuan, he was only 1.7 meters tall, and the aura from Jinxuanâs military background was different.
Hence, there was no real comparison.
Seeing the He familyâs convoy depart, he hastily ordered his group: "Are we ready? Itâs time to leave."
Originally, he wanted to lead ahead of the He family, but a car tire issue forced a change in plans.
Watching the He familyâs convoy fade into the distance, a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
He and He Jinxuan were not in the same unit, and their interactions were limited, with no personal grudges; they only exchanged brief greetings when meeting.
However, the person he was marrying today had initially taken a liking to He Jinxuan, leading to inevitable comparisons with Captain He over everything.
From setting up the bridal chamber, buying furniture, to even choosing the wedding car, if it werenât for already notifying friends and relatives about the wedding date, he would have backed out upon knowing Guangying was first introduced to Jinxuan.
He had directly asked Fu Guangying her feelings.
Fu Guangying clearly stated: Itâs merely the indignation of not being liked by He Jinxuan; she would live well with him and even better than He Jinxuan.
Meanwhile, at the Han Familyâs old house.
Ye Silai and Ye Siyan clung to Xinyan as soon as they saw her.
Ye Siyan immediately gave Xinyan a loving hug: "Aunt, I missed you so much."
Xinyan also missed the brothers, reaching out to pull the slightly slower Ye Silai into her embrace: "I missed you both too."
Ye Siyan raised his little face: "My brother and I brought you a gift. Itâs really beautiful."
Xinyan felt warmth in her heart: "Oh my, you even brought me a gift?"
Ye Siyanâs little face showed pride: "My brother and I chose it ourselves. Theyâre extremely beautiful."
Saying this, he turned to find his father, but not spotting him, he anxiously called out: "Dad."
Ye Liyan heard his sonâs call at the door: "Here, here."
Without coming in, he handed the item inside: "The gift is here."
Xinyanâs face lit up with a smile: "Let me see what gift you prepared for me?"
She just asked following the childrenâs words, but when she saw the items in the box, she was stunned.
Thankfully, only her elder sister-in-law and second cousin-in-law were present, otherwise, who knows what gossip might spread: "Where did these come from?"
Ye Siyan was filled with excitement: "Some are from the times my brother and I picked them in the Grand Canyon with the baseâs people, and some are from swapping snacks with kids at the base. Aunt, do you like them?"
Looking at the colorful gemstones in the box, Xinyan asked: "Do you know what these are?"
Ye Siyan nodded seriously: "Yes, they are stones. They said theyâre gemstones, agates, and we could find them in the Grand Canyon not far from the base."
Recalling something, he proudly said: "My brother and I would go to the Grand Canyon with the friends from the base whenever there were no classes."
Then he added: "My brother and I knew you would definitely like them."
Xinyanâs heart was filled with warmth: "I really like them, but these things are too precious. Your aunt will take a few as a gift, and the rest you should keep. Maybe theyâll be of great use in the future."
Ye Silai feared Xinyan wouldnât accept: "Aunt, please keep them. We specifically chose them for you; we have more."
Ye Siyan echoed: "Whatâs in this box is the most beautiful."
Looking at the various gemstones and agates, Xinyan didnât know what to do, as these small yet high-quality gemstones were indeed exquisite.
Just then, Ye Liyan, who had been listening outside, stood at the door: "Xinyan, itâs the kidsâ good intentions for you, and most are what they collected. Just accept them."
Earlier, in a letter from Ye Liyan, Xinyan indeed heard about finding gemstones and agates in the Grand Canyon not far from the base.
She hadnât expected a casual sentence in her reply would be taken to heart by the children.
