Chapter 134: Going to Register

Ling Yao came out of her space and glanced at the wall clock.

Seeing that it was almost eight o’clock, she hurried into the bathroom.

After Lu Qingyun sent her back last night, she had been refining pills in her space. Now, she had mastered the art of refining second-level pills.

She was trying to refine third-level pills, but she had wasted a lot of herbs throughout the night and hadn’t successfully refined a single third-level pill.

She almost forgot that she had promised Lu Qingyun to register their marriage today.

After washing up, Ling Yao stood in front of her closet and carefully chose her outfit.

After returning to the Ji family, her father and three brothers had bought her many new clothes, all the latest styles. Her closet was almost overflowing.

A light pink dress caught her eye. The pale color was as vibrant as peach blossoms blooming in spring.

The delicate lace trim at the neckline added an elegant touch. It was perfect for a day like today.

Ling Yao took it out and put it on. Then, she applied a fresh and elegant makeup look.

Looking at herself in the mirror, radiant and beautiful like a woman who had stepped out of a painting, Ling Yao smiled in satisfaction.

 Today was the day she and Lu Qingyun were getting their marriage license.

For such an important occasion, she naturally had to dress up carefully.

She walked out of her room and came downstairs, just as Ling Xuemei walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of snacks.

Seeing Ling Yao, Ling Xuemei’s eyes lit up with a hint of surprise, “You’re awake? Xiao Lu came over early.

 He’s in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting with your dad.” When Xiao Lu came over, she was about to wake Yaoyao up, but Xiao Lu said it was okay.

He would wait for Yaoyao to wake up naturally.

Ling Yao’s eyes lit up. She reached out and took the snacks from Ling Xuemei, “Mom! I’ll take them out.”

Seeing Ling Yao’s happy expression, Ling Xuemei couldn’t help but smile lovingly,

 “Xiao Lu said you’re going to register your marriage today. Mom has already prepared your household registration books.

They’re on the coffee table in the living room. Don’t forget to take them when you go.”

Seeing her daughter, whom she had raised with so much care, about to enter marriage and become someone else’s wife, she felt both happy and reluctant.

But more than anything, she hoped that her daughter would have a happy and fulfilling future.

“I know, Mom.” Ling Yao carried the snacks towards the courtyard.

Ling Xuemei smiled and turned back to the kitchen. Although they had servants, she still preferred to do things herself.

Lu Qingyun heard the footsteps and turned his head instinctively. When he saw Ling Yao, his eyes flashed with surprise.

The light pink dress was like the clouds in the sky, making Ling Yao look like a peach blossom blooming in spring, vibrant and beautiful, captivating and impossible to look away from.

“Cough!” Ji Yanting coughed uncomfortably when he saw Lu Qingyun staring intently at his daughter.

Although he had accepted Lu Qingyun as his son-in-law, he was still a little unhappy with him.

 He had finally reunited with his daughter and hadn’t had a chance to spend time with her yet, but this guy, Lu Qingyun, had snatched her away. Who wouldn’t be upset?

Lu Qingyun came back to his senses and withdrew his gaze. He saw Ji Yanting staring at him with displeasure.

He quickly stood up, picked up the teapot on the table, smiled ingratiatingly, and carefully poured a cup of hot tea for Ji Yanting, “Uncle! Have some tea!”

Ji Yanting looked at Lu Qingyun and said sternly,

“Lu Qingyun, I’m warning you. If you ever dare to mistreat my daughter, I will not let you off easily! Don’t blame me for not warning you.

 I’ll personally break every bone in your body!”

His voice was full of authority and intimidation, leaving no room for disobedience.

For him, his wife and daughter were the most important people in his life. He would never allow anyone to hurt them in the slightest.

Hearing Ji Yanting’s words, Lu Qingyun nodded solemnly, looking directly into Ji Yanting’s eyes with a serious and solemn expression,

 “Uncle, don’t worry! I can assure you that I will love Yaoyao wholeheartedly from now on. I will do my best to take care of her and protect her.

 If one day I betray Yaoyao, let heaven punish me, let me suffer the most painful torment, and let me die a terrible death!”

He would never betray Yaoyao. Yaoyao was his life, the most important and beloved person in his life.

Ling Yao walked over and happened to hear the conversation between Lu Qingyun and Ji Yanting.

Hearing Lu Qingyun’s sincere vow, her eyes welled up with tears. She knew that Lu Qingyun truly loved her.

 She could feel it, otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to marry him so quickly.

Ling Yao sniffed and suppressed the tears in her eyes. A faint smile spread across her lips as she walked forward.

“Dad! Brother Lu!”

Ji Yanting smiled at Ling Yao and pointed to the stone bench beside him, his voice gentle,

 “Come, sit with Dad.” His daughter was about to get married. He was really reluctant to let her go.

 He owed so much to her and her mother. He would never be able to repay them in this lifetime.

“Okay.” Ling Yao nodded softly, placed the snacks she was carrying on the table, and sat down beside Ji Yanting as instructed.

Ji Yanting reached out and patted Ling Yao’s shoulder. He looked at her and said earnestly,

 “Yaoyao, you’re about to become someone else’s wife, but this will always be your home.

 If anyone bullies you in the future, don’t put up with it. Come back whenever you want.

Dad and Mom will always be your strongest support.” His voice choked slightly at the end.

“I know, Dad!” Ling Yao’s tears welled up again. Since she had reunited with her father, she could feel his care for her and her mother.

She knew he truly cared about them.

Ji Yanting turned his head and wiped his eyes. He forced a smile, “Let’s eat breakfast.” He just wanted his daughter to be happy.

After breakfast, Ling Yao got into Lu Qingyun’s car. The car sped towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

All the way, Lu Qingyun had a happy smile on his face. He hadn’t slept a wink all night.

He was looking forward to the day breaking so he could get his marriage license with Yaoyao.

Ling Yao looked at Lu Qingyun’s raised lips and smiled along with him. She reached out and gently took his hand, as if holding onto her own happiness.

Lu Qingyun turned to look at Ling Yao. The curve of his lips became even more brilliant, “Yaoyao, are you happy?”

“Yes.” Ling Yao smiled and nodded. She was happy to be marrying the man she loved.

“I’m happy too. It’s all like a dream.” Lu Qingyun tightened his grip on Ling Yao’s hand, his eyes overflowing with longing and anticipation for a beautiful future.
