Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 195 Extra 1
After the proposal, the engagement banquet was the first event.

Huo Sanshao had been sincerely trying to please Su Lao for a year, and Su Zhanqi and Ming Manrong's efforts were not in vain. The engagement banquet was set for two months later - September 12th.

That evening, in the banquet hall, the dazzling crystal chandeliers shone with a soft light, exquisite wall lamps lined the walls, and sheer curtains embroidered with intricate patterns swayed gently in the breeze.

The air was filled with the fragrance of clothes and the graceful figures of women.

At 7 p.m., the engagement banquet quieted down and the guests gradually left.

Huo Jingcheng, dressed in a sharp suit, exuded a handsome and sophisticated charm, his clean lines highlighting his tall and upright figure.

He casually asked Su Mingyan beside him, "Shouldn't you have the household registration booklet out by now?"

Not long ago, Su Mingyan and Jiang Xihan went to get their marriage certificate, and he took the Su family's household registration booklet with him as a matter of course.

Su Mingyan remained calm and composed, his long fingers seemingly brushing away non-existent dust from his suit.

He raised an eyebrow, tugged at the corner of his lips, and said leisurely, "Ah, what did you say? The wind is a bit strong tonight, I can't hear you."

"Household registration..."

"You, the groom-to-be, are still standing here motionless. Are you planning to let my sister see the guests off alone?" Su Mingyan interrupted him directly, her words carrying an undeniable air, and said in a light rebuke, "Hurry up and go!"

"..." Huo Jingcheng.

Instead of getting the household registration booklet, I was scolded.

In the end, it was Su Ruoyun who went to ask for the household registration book, but all she got in return was a nonchalant remark from Su Mingyan.

"After we got the marriage certificate, I returned the household registration book to Dad. Didn't he tell you?"

His tone was calm and composed.

At the same time as obtaining their marriage certificate, he and Jiang Xihan created a new household registration book. The original one, which only contained information about Su Zhanqi, Ming Manrong, and Su Ruoyun, was no longer of any use to Su Mingyan, so he returned it to Su Zhanqi.

Su Ruoyun: "..."

Sure enough, those who play the game of "righteousness" are all wicked.

The wedding was held on a spring day when the flowers were in full bloom.

May 6th, 2027, is the start of summer. All taboos are lifted; it is an auspicious day for marriage.

Before getting married, Su Ruoyun's worries included not only that the wedding dresses were too beautiful and too difficult to choose, but also the selection of best man and maid of honor.

The main dress was custom-made, elegant and gorgeous. It featured a long train, a V-neck design, and exquisite embroidery and beading covering the neckline and bodice. A white satin ribbon cinched the waist, highlighting her slender figure, and a long embroidered veil trailed on the ground.

Su Ruoyun tried on the dress at least five times before the wedding.

After deciding on the main wedding dress, she started to worry about the bridesmaids and groomsmen, who had to be single. However, most of her and Huo Jingcheng's friends were already engaged or married.

At a certain gathering, Chen Zheyan signed up at his own expense.

Su Ruoyun stared at him curiously and asked, "Don't you have that... female classmate?"

However, before Su Ruoyun could speak, Huo Jingcheng interrupted her. He readily agreed, and afterwards whispered in her ear: "Even if you fail to win someone over, you're still a noble dog."

Chen Zheyan was unmarried, which put Su Ruoyun at ease. She then chose a single cousin from among her distant relatives, who was also said to be highly educated.

On the day of the dress fitting, the best man sneered, while the bridesmaids hurriedly ran away.

On the wedding day, just as he had imagined a year earlier in Shanghai, there were no tearful moments, only the joy and happiness of lovers finally becoming a couple. The bridesmaid caught the bouquet again. Su Ruoyun was on stage at the time and didn't see the reactions of the others. According to 'real-time reporter' Li Li, the best man on stage was laughing like a fool.

The child was born a year later, and Old Master Huo named him Huo Jingning. His personality... well, it's hard to describe.

Su Ruoyun hoped her son could have some talent in musical instruments, since she herself had been like that when she was young. So, she took him to a musical instrument trial class early on and had him try out all the instruments.

Watching their son sitting obediently and adorably in front of the Steinway piano, the couple both broke into smiles like a loving father and mother.

But before this heartwarming smile could last long, I saw my son stretch out his chubby little hand and press the piano key hard, the crisp sound of the piano exploding in the air.

As if it were fun, he started randomly playing the piano, pressing the keys back and forth, the "do" sound filling the classroom, and then he yelled at the top of his lungs.

Upon seeing this, Su Ruoyun's forehead twitched.

The couple exchanged a glance, both with expressions that seemed to say, "Is there any hope for them?"

After the trial class, the teacher expressed his opinion tactfully. He couldn't say directly that he had no talent, so he could only guess: "Perhaps his interest in musical instruments has not yet been truly stimulated."

Little Huo Jingning chimed in from the side. Despite being only two years old, she spoke quite fluently: "How could I not be interested? I'm very interested..."

Su Ruoyun forcefully covered her mouth to shut up.

……

Huo Jingning was different from Huo Jingcheng and Su Ruoyun from a young age. He was the most mischievous kid in kindergarten, but he was also very popular. He could even chat with the gatekeeper at the kindergarten.

When he goes to the compound, he invites his friends and relatives. Retired cadres and officials will take him along when playing chess, and they will show him their newly acquired potted plants...

The couple suffered from headaches while tutoring each other.

However, it's usually Huo Jingcheng who has a headache.

Because Su Ruoyun didn't know how to tutor her son, she was afraid that if she got angry, she wouldn't be able to help but hit him.

When he was a child, it was alright. Looking at those eyes that resembled his wife's, Huo Jingcheng couldn't bring himself to say a single harsh word.

When he grew up to be fourteen or fifteen, he looked exactly like Huo Jingcheng when he was young. Looking at his son, who was even more arrogant and domineering than him, Huo Jingcheng's hand holding the ruler moved again and again.

Regarding being beaten up, Huo Jingning's experiences from childhood to adulthood have led him to summarize a set of wise sayings: Old Huo usually doesn't lay a hand on people, but when he does, it's not ordinary.

Well… he sneaked off to Shanghai for a race a while ago, and Huo Jingcheng found out, so he's still lying in bed right now.

He was driving recklessly, and Su Ruoyun was scared. She just snorted and said, "Serves you right!"

Only his younger sister, who was still in elementary school, secretly brought him some snacks.

However, Huo Jingcheng also dotes on his son. As soon as he turned eighteen, he arranged for him to own a sports car that was the only one of its kind in the world.

Huo Jingning circled the sports car three times before finally stopping next to Huo Jingcheng. From a distance, the two men looked exactly alike.

Huo Jingning rested his chin on his hand, his brows furrowed, his expression troubled and annoyed: "Old Huo, did you pay your taxes properly last year? Can you even afford such an expensive car...?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingcheng's hand twitched repeatedly as he reached for the ruler, but fortunately, Su Ruoyun was nearby and pulled him away by his hand.

Watching Old Huo and Yunmei leave, Huo Jingning remained alone in the garage, looking at the sports car in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips.
