After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 348, Episode 0377: Let's Get Married

Seeing the two old friends' eyes that seemed to want to snatch him away, the old man quickly said, "Come here, my dear, sit next to Grandpa."

Stay away from those two shameless people.

Lin Yuexi obediently went over and sat down, coincidentally, she was facing Huo Han directly.

As they looked up, their eyes met.

"Congratulations."

Huo Han remained calm, his gaze unwavering as he stared intently at Lin Yuexi.

However, his hands, resting on his knees, kept rubbing his pants.

I was so nervous that I even stopped breathing for a moment.

They hadn't seen each other for over a year. He usually suppressed his longing for her, but now that they were finally together, he could no longer contain the excitement in his heart.

He didn't intend to suppress it any longer.

"Same to you." Lin Yuexi nodded with a natural smile.

The three old men were all watching them closely, and they understood what was going on. Compared to the other two, Huo Han seemed like a greenhorn and was at a disadvantage.

If these two get together, the Huo family's son/grandson will definitely be henpecked.

The old man patted Lin Yuexi on the shoulder. "Grandpa has planted a lot of fruits and vegetables in the backyard, many of which are your favorites. Do you want to go take a look?"

Lin Yuexi: What is this?

Did the old men want to say something and deliberately send her away?

"I haven't gone to the backyard since I got back. I'll go take a look."

He got up and greeted Elder Qi and Elder Huo again, and left the hall amidst the two elders' somewhat strange smiles.

After walking a while into the backyard, I heard hurried footsteps approaching.

Lin Yuexi was very familiar with Xu Shan's footsteps, but this footstep was clearly not Xu Shan's. She looked back in confusion.

When she saw who it was, she realized that she had misunderstood the old man. He wasn't trying to get rid of her; he wanted her to be alone with Huo Han.

Is this the procedure for blind dating?

Lin Yuexi stopped and waited for Huo Han to walk up to her before she spoke first: "Let's get married."

Huo Han: "..."

Shouldn't he be the one to speak first?

If his wife has to say these things first, then he must be very weak.

But that's not important. Being able to win the heart of a beauty and live off a woman is a skill in itself.

Huo Han suppressed his excitement and, with trembling hands, enveloped his wife's small hands. "Wife, when are we going to get our marriage certificate?"

What he really wanted to say was, "Let's go get our marriage certificate right now."

Fortunately, he managed to control himself from blurting out the words. He had been slowly boiling the frog in water for years, and he didn't want to scare his wife away at this last moment.

Huo Han's tense expression, with even the muscles on his face taut, made Lin Yuexi burst out laughing.

The woman, who was already stunningly beautiful, looked even more radiant with that smile, making all the beauties in the imperial harem pale in comparison. Huo Han could see nothing but that pretty face.

His gaze swept over her pure yet alluring almond-shaped eyes, her pert little nose, and finally settled on her lips, which often appeared in his dreams like a small gold ingot.

He unconsciously swallowed, but fortunately, Huo Han remembered that there were many people around. He forced himself to look away and led Lin Yuexi to the backyard.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, and we'll go get our marriage certificate." Having already agreed to marry this person, Lin Yuexi didn't hesitate and nodded, "Okay."

Huo Han's palms were sweating.

Stay calm, you must stay calm, especially in the final moments.

After mentally berating myself, I calmed down and even my tone of voice became much more natural, like coaxing a child.

"Let's get our marriage certificate first, and we can have the wedding later. Feel free to suggest anything you want to say."

It's impossible for them to get married without a wedding. Even if they themselves don't want too much trouble, their parents would definitely disagree.

It wasn't just the two elderly people who disagreed; even Elder Long and Elder Zhou wouldn't agree.

A wedding only happens once in a lifetime, and Lin Yuexi is not so indifferent as to not care about this. After all, this is her life. If she gets married without a wedding, wouldn't she have regrets when she looks back on it in her old age?

Moreover, the marriage between the two most promising descendants of the Leng and Huo families is a powerful alliance, and no matter what the two families are considering, a grand wedding is inevitable.

"Let Grandpa and the others discuss the wedding arrangements. I'll have a longer break this time. What about you?"

“I can take my wedding leave, and I haven’t taken any vacation in the past few years, so I can take those vacation days together with my wedding leave.”

The two held hands and chatted casually, without the passionate scenes that everyone imagined, but rather with the warmth of an old married couple that made it impossible for anyone to interrupt.

In contrast to them, the atmosphere between Leng Bai and Qi Yingying, who were kicked out even faster than them, was as if separated by a vast distance.

Although their fathers are old friends, this is the first time the two have met.

After introducing themselves, the atmosphere became awkward, and neither of them knew what to say.

The two sat in the pavilion in silence for a while, until Leng Bai couldn't sit still any longer and ran to pick a few cucumbers, washed them, and placed them in front of Qi Yingying.

Qi Yingying said "thank you," and Leng Bai replied "you're welcome," and then the atmosphere became awkward again.

This is what Lin Yuexi and her husband saw when they arrived.

The two tacitly avoided going over, instead hiding behind a short pomegranate tree nearby, becoming onlookers.

"Do you know Qi Yingying?" Lin Yuexi asked softly.

Huo Han left the Special Operations Regiment a year ago and now works for the National Security Bureau. If you have any questions, as long as they don't involve classified information, you can ask him and he will definitely have the answers.

Huo Han lived up to expectations and answered in a low voice, "Qi Yingying is a very self-reliant woman, but she wasn't very discerning when she was young and was deceived by a man from a poor background..."

If her experiences were written into a book, the plot would be somewhat clichéd.

Qi Yingying was the youngest daughter of Old Master Qi. She was loved by her parents and spoiled by her brothers. The Qi family ignored the dangers of the outside world and raised Qi Yingying to be too innocent, believing that there was only one word in the world: beauty.

When she was in junior high school, she accidentally saved Yang Siliu, a member of a collateral branch of the Yang family, from being bullied.

Yang Siliu's parents, taking advantage of the fact that Yang Siliu's grandfather saved Old Man Yang's life, have been staying at the Yang family's house. The Yang family hasn't kicked them out for the sake of their reputation, but they don't treat them well either. Yang Siliu's parents are rather shameless, so they live a relatively good life. However, Yang Siliu, who has a softer personality, is miserable and has become the punching bag for the Yang family members of her generation.

The time Qi Yingying encountered her was when the Yang family, along with their 'underlings,' cornered her in an alley and bullied her.

Qi Yingying felt sorry for Yang Siliu and from then on, she always took good care of her, spending a lot of money on her food, drink and other necessities. Even when Yang Siliu went to high school, it was only after Qi Yingying begged Old Master Qi that she had the opportunity to continue her studies.

Well, the saying "a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment" is quite true.

"Yang Siliu may have been grateful to Qi Yingying at first, but later her mindset changed. She felt that Qi Yingying's kindness to her was just charity, and when Qi Yingying said she was happy, she felt that Qi Yingying was just showing off to her."

It's unclear whether Yang Siliu's twisted mind stemmed from her family's deepest psyche or if she changed later, but she not only showed no gratitude towards Qi Yingying, she even resented seeing her doing well.

Given Qi Yingying's family background and her good looks, it's no wonder she has many suitors.

While they were in college, the school's most popular boy pursued Qi Yingying relentlessly.

Coincidentally, Yang Siliu also only liked that school heartthrob.
