“Li Mansion?” Ruan Sisi’s eyes lit up in sparkles. “Xixi, can we? Can I stay at Li Mansion?”

Oh, gawd! She was lucky and honored to ever have the chance to stay at Li Mansion. Ruan Sisi was moved to tears.

Jiang Yin managed to keep it together. “Why are you intruding on their lives? They want some time alone and personal space after the wedding.”

Reflecting on her thoughts, Ruan Sisi nodded solemnly. “That’s true. I’ll have a sleepover once in a while. Xixi, you have to leave a room for me.”

Shen Xi burst into laughter, thinking to herself that they had not forgotten that she and Li Yuan wanted some time alone together. However, this was a question for after the wedding.

It was unrealistic for many people to live together despite Old Shen’s expectations. Everyone was busy with their own work and personal affairs, so they could only gather during festive seasons.

The three girls were chatting while Song Wenye was absent as she was engaged in a shoot. Song Wenye told Ruan Sisi that she would join the discussion via video chat. She was able to jump right into the conversation during a break between shoots.
“Xixi, Xixi, I hadn’t been to Li Mansion. I think you should have the wedding there.” Burning with enthusiasm in the eyes, Song Wenye stared at Shen Xi. “You two should have a Chinese wedding. Think about the red traditional wedding gown and customs. It will be a grand sight!”
Shen Xi was flooded with so many ideas to have a perspective of what she wanted. Nevertheless, Song Wenye’s suggestion proved more reliable than a wedding in a castle and by the beach.

“Li Mansion!” Song Wenye sighed with emotion. “It’s as grand as having one in the imperial palace.”

There was a possibility to host a wedding in the imperial palace, but it was too ostentatious. Surely, Xixi did not want a high-profile wedding. Li Mansion, on the other hand, was meaningful as a destination as it was Li Yuan’s home. It would be great if they had the wedding at Li Yuan’s home.
“Xixi, I think Lil’ Ye presented a good suggestion.” Ruan Sisi bobbed her head. A wedding at Li Mansion was a great idea.

“Xixi, do you want a Chinese or Western wedding? Hurry up and tell us, so we can begin prepping for the wedding.” Jiang Yin asked.

Since it was almost the year-end, Shen Xi and Li Yuan only had four to five months if they wanted a Spring wedding. A handmade wedding gown would take a lot of time and effort to put in all the intricate details. They needed time.

“Why are you more anxious than I am?” Shen Xi was helpless.

“I support a Chinese wedding.” In the video, Song Wenye raised her hand to cast her vote in.

“Me too.” Ruan Sisi echoed while raising her hand as well. She turned to Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin thought hard and long. “I also think that it’s meaningful to have the wedding at Li Mansion.”

Shen Xi looked at Li Yuan to ask for his opinion. She was sure that he had listened in on their conversation.

With a smile, Li Yuan softly commented, “You can have the wedding anywhere you like. You still have a lot of time to sleep on it.”

Facing Li Yuan, Jiang Yin counted on her fingers and uttered, “You don’t have a lot of time. You only have seven months if the wedding is held in late Spring and early Summer. You have a pre-wedding photoshoot, wedding gowns, venue decorating, and many other works to think about. It can be tedious.
Don’t think for a second that a wedding is that simple.”

It was not as though Li Yuan had never thought about the wedding in the past. He had been dreaming about it since the day his fair lady came into his life. However, Li Yuan never thought the details through. He always had the feeling that the girl was still young. He was going to wait until her graduation
to pop the question.

Li Yuan had conjured countless scenarios of his proposals, even dreaming about asking her hand in marriage once. Reality had it that they skipped through the formalities and went straight to getting their marriage license before he could put the proposal into action. He guessed nothing ever went
according to plan.

Shen Xi made up her mind. “A Chinese wedding.”
She then turned to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan gave a nod. “Sure.”

Yun Jinping had no words seeing that the two ladies were more eager than anyone else. Still, it had to happen sooner or later as Shen Xi and Li Yuan already put their marriage in writing. They should not drag the wedding on.

At the rate things were going, Shen Zhangqing presumed they might start planning for children. He was unable to pinpoint his feelings, but he decided to let them be so long as her daughter was happy and willing.

The Fu family arrived one after another by nightfall.

Shangguan Yangiu and Fu Handing expressed understanding and acceptance toward Shen Xi’s rash decision to sign the marriage papers without telling anyone as they owed their daughter too much for the lost time. They supported all of their daughter’s actions if that made her happy.
Fu Qingli scowled the whole time since he got here. Without a word, he looked daggers at Li Yuan.

Fu Qingxuan reacted the same as Fu Qingli. He was friendly while chatting with other people, but his eyes reflected resentment toward Li Yuan. As if he would make nice with the b*stard who stole his sister. Dream on!

Out of the three brothers, Fu Qingye was the only one not giving Li Yuan the attitude. Although he did not give Li Yuan a dirty look, he was reeling inside.

The issues that needed solving were pretty much addressed by the time dinner was over. The family happily sat in the living room, chatting and watching TV.

Shangguan Yangiu, Yun Jinping, and Jiang Yin were in talks about Shen Xi’s wedding. They were just throwing ideas before the Fu family arrived. Now that everyone was here, they could begin to iron out the kinks.

The two families shared the same thought of giving their daughter away in a grand wedding. They wanted nothing but the best for her. All the details must be sorted out in perfection.

Shen Zhangging and Fu Handing were also talking about Shen Xi and Li Yuan.

The ones in front of the TV were the Fu brothers and Li Yuan. Since Fu Qingli and Fu Qingxuan refused to sit with Li Yuan, Fu Qingye took a seat next to Li Yuan.

Fu Qingye remarked, “I think there’s no need to rush the wedding.”

It was not like anything could change as they were already married in the eyes of the law. Fu Qingye knew his sister like the back of his hand. Li Yuan was the most important person in Xixi’s life, and even Fu Qingye as her brother had nothing on Li Yuan.
Scoffing, Fu Qingxuan took a fleeting glance at Li Yuan. “That’s right. Xixi’s only a freshman. I wonder who’s that someone who just can’t wait?”

Fu Qingli held his tongue and simply gave Li Yuan the evil eye.

Shen Xi suddenly emerged from the second floor. She put on her coat and said, “I need to leave for an emergency. Don’t wait up for me.”

The people in the living room turned to the source of the sound.

Shen Xi explained on her way out, “It’s not looking good for Yu Qiubai’s family member. I’m going there for a look. Sisi will drive me there.”

The health of Yu Qiubai’s mom went downhill. Yu Qiubai sounded urgent on the phone, so she had to leave right away to check it out..
