After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

Watching Bai Yu's hurried figure disappear as soon as she finished speaking, and hearing the sound of her leaving through the door, Lin Ying felt both delighted and a little helpless.

At this moment, she really wanted to ask Bai Yu if she could listen to what she had to say.

Although she felt dizzy, which was a bit like a mild cold, this feeling had only started in the last couple of days and would subside after one or two episodes a day. It was actually nothing serious.

In conclusion, Lin Ying felt that the problem was simply because she hadn't gone out for some fresh air.

But she didn't know that a minor cold isn't necessarily caused by not going outside for fresh air; it could also be a sign of pregnancy.

That makes sense. Lin Ying wasn't as concerned about being pregnant with Bai Yu's baby as Si Yu and Su Rongxue were. After all, as long as she was Bai Yu's child, that was enough. As for the child, it was all up to fate. She would naturally like it if she had it, and it wouldn't affect her love for Bai Yu if she didn't.

So she never even considered the possibility that she might have gotten pregnant after what happened with Bai Yu last time.

Bai Yu wouldn't have thought of this, since the basis for judging pregnancy is usually things like morning sickness. These kinds of minor cold-like symptoms that people are likely to experience in daily life are usually not taken seriously and no one can tell anything about them.

After Bai Yu bought a small box of 666 and mixed it with water for Lin Ying to take, he packed his things and prepared to go to sleep.

That night, Bai Yu didn't plan to go back to Si Yu's house to sleep or tell Si Yu that he was at Lin Ying's house, because he planned to give this girl a surprise the next day by taking her to her parents' graves to fulfill the promise he had made.

Chapter 147 Leaving, Getting Married

The next morning—

Bai Yu got up early to wash up, and Lin Ying was already in the kitchen making breakfast for him. Although the two of them were not married, their current lifestyle was no different from that of a young couple.

As Bai Yu finished washing up and sat down at the table, Lin Ying placed the breakfast of milk, eggs, and sandwiches in front of him.

I reached out and grabbed a sandwich from the plate, taking a big bite. The taste was just like the one I had in the island nation—the sweetness of the cheese combined with the aroma of the bacon, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

"Boss lady, I'm going to visit Sister Siyu's grave today, and I'll also be taking care of some things with her... I might be busy for a few days, so I wanted to talk to you about it."

Even if Bai Yu hadn't said anything, Lin Ying would have known that the things he brought back yesterday were mostly for Si Yu.

Although we didn't see exactly what he brought back, we could still see the incense, candles, and paper money through the transparent bag.

This meant that Bai Yu hadn't lied to her, but what Bai Yu said next made her wonder if she was hallucinating.

“Boss lady, I...I want to marry Sister Siyu at her parents’ graves. Although heaven and earth and our parents are our witnesses, we won’t be officially married. But this is my promise to her. Please don’t be angry or sad. This promise I made to Sister Siyu doesn’t mean I don’t want you. Please don’t overthink it. You both have an irreplaceable meaning to me. You are more important than anything else than my life.”

Staring wide-eyed at Bai Yu, Lin Ying didn't hear what he said after that. She was definitely sad, but she was more shocked to hear that Bai Yu was going to marry Si Yu.

Logically speaking, marriage is a joyous occasion, while cemeteries are places for funerals. Who would go to a cemetery to get married?

"Bai Yujun...you...you mean it?"

Lin Ying stammered the words with disbelief, her expression one of utter bewilderment. She felt that such a thing was illogical; who would get married in a cemetery? That would be blatant insanity.

Looking up at her, Bai Yu knew that Lin Ying's reaction was normal, since it was him and Si Yu who were acting abnormally. But the problem was that this was his and Si Yu's agreement, and also his promise to her.

“Boss lady, I have no reason to lie to you. This is something I promised Sister Siyu. You might think that my actions with her are like an immoral farce, but all she wants is for me to keep my promise, just like I promised you that I would marry you. No matter what, I will definitely live up to the promise I made.”

Looking sincerely into Lin Ying's azure eyes, Bai Yu spoke with utmost honesty, unlike in her previous life when she would readily resort to deception.

Nodding, Lin Ying couldn't understand why Si Yu would let Bai Yu agree to such an outrageous request, nor could she understand why she could get married in front of her parents' graves. But no matter what, she would respect Bai Yu's choice unconditionally, just like always.

Perhaps the words "marriage" hurt her deeply, but these were choices she made. For Bai Yu, and to be able to stay by his side forever, what did a little pain and endurance matter? It was better than the eternal separation they suffered in their previous life, wasn't it?

"It's okay, I will always believe in you, just as you can believe in me."

Looking at Bai Yu, Lin Ying's voice was very soft and gentle, giving people the feeling of a fairy wife at home, ethereal and blissful.

Nodding, Bai Yu didn't know how to express his trust and gratitude to Lin Ying. He could only say that this girl really spoiled him too much.

Chewing on the food in her mouth, Bai Yu quickly finished her meal and prepared to leave.

These days, he can no longer proceed at his usual leisurely pace; all plans must be accelerated.

Now, it's not just about Si Yu's promise; there's also the meeting of the five women. Qing Sisi and Murong Liyue learn about the other women, and then there's the meeting of the women and the handling of conflicts between their families.

Each and every one of these things was difficult for Bai Yu, and he had to solve them all one by one on his own.

"Boss lady, I'm full."

Standing up, Bai Yu drank the milk in her glass in two gulps and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Lin Ying got up and followed behind him without saying a word until Bai Yu picked up the things and opened the door, at which point she gently uttered a sentence.

"Take care on the road, and remember to come back soon when you're done. I'll be waiting for you."

"Okay, I'll be going now, boss lady. I'll definitely come back as soon as I'm done with what I'm doing."

Turning to look at Lin Ying, who was bowing deeply and completely immersed in the role of a wife, Bai Yu watched quietly for a few seconds before slowly closing the door.

Straightening her back, Lin Ying felt a little unwell lately. Although she wasn't under any pressure and trusted Bai Yu completely, even though she hadn't been as heartbroken as usual when she learned that he was going to marry Si Yu, she still felt uncomfortable.

This state doesn't quite resemble a psychological problem, yet it feels like one, but it also feels somewhat like physical discomfort.

She turned and walked to the sofa at home, just about to sit down and lie down for a while, when she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

I took cold medicine yesterday and my body temperature was normal, so this shouldn't be the case.

Lin Ying wasn't quite sure why, and could only attribute it to the fact that she hadn't been out for a long time and had stayed at home.

At a time like this, no one would think about pregnancy, and Lin Ying, besides paying attention to Bai Yu, didn't care about her own physical reactions at all.

Jingle ~

Bai Yu rang the doorbell of Si Yu's house next door. She stood blankly at the door with big bags and small packages in her hands, looking like she was going to meet the girl's parents, giving people a nervous feeling.

After the doorbell rang for more than ten seconds, he did not hear any footsteps approaching from inside, so he had no choice but to press it again.

Jingle ~

The doorbell rang again, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door.

If no one answers the door twice in a row, it means that Si Yu is either not home or is still sleeping.

It's 7:36 in the morning, and this girl is probably still asleep, so Bai Yu can only take out his phone and call her.

Of course, if you ask why Bai Yu didn't open the door himself when he knew the password, the main reason is that he wanted to give Si Yu a surprise. If he opened the door himself, it wouldn't be a surprise at all.

The phone rang a few times after being dialed before being answered quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Si Yu's muffled voice, clearly still half asleep, came through the phone.

"Hey?"

"Sister Siyu, please open the door for me. I'm right at my doorstep."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's voice, Si Yu paused for a moment before huffing in a mix of helplessness and anger.

"Hmph, oh dear, you know the password yourself, didn't you? You deliberately called to wake your sister up, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu chuckled somewhat cheekily.

"I didn't mean it. Open the door for me quickly, I have a surprise for you."

Upon hearing this, Si Yu clearly hadn't realized what kind of surprise Bai Yu would bring her, and replied vaguely.

"What surprise is it?"

"Didn't I say yesterday that I was going to marry you at your aunt and uncle's graves? So I went and bought everything we needed yesterday. Sister Siyu, do you... still want to marry me in front of your parents?"

"ah!"

Startled, Si Yu sat up. Upon hearing about the marriage, her mind cleared instantly. She then remembered that she had transferred money to the old man on the funeral street yesterday.

"What's wrong, Sister Siyu?"

Bai Yu was unaware of Si Yu's private activities, so she asked him this question with concern.

"It's alright, it's alright, your sister will be right there to open the door for you."

After saying that, Si Yu tossed her phone aside, flipped on a loose nightgown, and ran towards the door in her slippers.

Kata~

The sound of the door opening rang out, and Bai Yu immediately saw Si Yu's half-covered pajamas. Her long, black, shiny hair looked messy because she had just gotten up.

"Sister Siyu, look."

Bai Yu was like a little kid showing off his good stuff in front of his older sister, holding up all the bags and showing them off in a silly way.

Si Yu's eyes widened when she saw the large and small bags in his hands.

After all, she only knew that Bai Yu had bought incense and paper money, and she never expected that he had also bought liquor and a red wedding dress.

"You...you really want to marry my sister in front of Mom and Dad?"

Si Yu stood at the door, covering her mouth and looking at Bai Yu in disbelief. She never imagined that she would actually marry Bai Yu in front of her parents' graves.

She had thought about this when she first learned that Bai Yu had gone to buy incense and paper money, but after careful consideration, she felt that Bai Yu would never actually marry her, because even if he went, he would most likely find an excuse to avoid the matter of marriage.

But now, Bai Yu's preparations left her no way out. If she didn't want to get married, she could have chosen not to buy the red dowry. But Bai Yu actually bought it all, including all the basic items needed for the wedding.

"Hey, Sister Siyu, you obviously don't trust me. If I didn't want to marry you, why would I spend so much time buying these things? Right?"

Seeing Bai Yu's playful and smiling face, Si Yu's eyes suddenly reddened, and a tear rolled down her cheeks.

"Sister Siyu, what's wrong? Are you angry with me? I'm sorry, I didn't lie to you this time, I..."

Bai Yu was laughing just a second ago, but the moment she saw Si Yu crying, she became anxious.

Although I don't know if I'm wrong or if I made Si Yu cry, apologizing immediately is definitely the right thing to do.

Chapter 148 Too Exciting

Standing helplessly at the door, looking at Si Yu, Bai Yu couldn't understand why she was crying at a time like this. While apologizing immediately was certainly the right thing to do, he definitely wanted to know the specific reason behind it all, and why it had led to this situation.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Si Yu was only feeling incredulous and excited because Bai Yu's sudden promise to marry him at the cemetery had become a reality, not what he had thought.

"No... I'm not blaming you, I just didn't expect... I didn't expect you would actually... Waaah~"

As she spoke, overwhelmed with emotion, Si Yu burst into tears before she could finish her incoherent speech.

Seeing her heartbroken, even though she said it wasn't Bai Yu's fault, Bai Yu still felt bad. After all, who wants their loved one to cry?

"Sister Siyu, don't cry, don't cry. Let's set off now, okay? I can't find Uncle and Auntie by myself. You have to lead the way, right?"

Bai Yu reached out and hugged Si Yu's soft body, comforting her as she did so.

Sniffing, Si Yu suppressed her surprise and excitement and nodded, whispering in Bai Yu's ear.

"Then can you drive us along, okay?"

“Okay, it’s definitely better for Sister Siyu to drive than for us to ride. That way, it will be more convenient if we need to buy anything later.”

Nodding, Bai Yu had no objection to Si Yu's driving at all. After all, this girl's driving skills were much better than his. Even if he had an accident, this girl wouldn't have one.
