Chapter 78

Ji Mingjing sneered.

How could he possibly let go of the person who signed Lu Yunxiang up for the countryside program?

Since she liked signing people up for the countryside program so much, she should go herself!

Lu Yunxiang and Ji Mingjing were getting cozy in the room when they saw Lu Ziqian happily walking out of the study.

Lu Yunxiang already knew what was going on.

But she asked, “Dad, what are you so happy about? What did you talk about with Aunt Fen?”

“I’m happy!” Lu Ziqian didn’t hide his joy. “Your Aunt Fen said she’s completely recovered and wants to be my assistant. How could I not be happy?”

For years, Wei Shufen hadn’t pursued her original path due to health issues.

But she and Lu Ziqian had kept in touch.

Lu Ziqian had Zhou Yi’ran send her books.

Sometimes, when Lu Ziqian encountered a difficult problem, he would call Wei Shufen for help.

Sometimes, Wei Shufen would cut to the chase and point out the problem.

Other times, she would think about it for days before offering a solution.

She had helped him a lot.

He always felt that if he could work with Wei Shufen, his scientific research would be twice as effective.

Unfortunately, Wei Shufen’s health was really bad.

She couldn’t handle it.

Now that she was recovered and had proactively offered to dedicate herself to scientific research, how could Lu Ziqian not be happy?

This research trip to Mobei was extremely difficult.

With Wei Shufen there, she would definitely be a capable assistant!

Lu Yunxiang clapped her hands happily.

“That’s great! Dad, when are you going to Mobei? Will Aunt Fen come to the capital to meet you first?”

When it came to leaving, Lu Ziqian’s expression turned solemn.

“Your Aunt Fen still has things to take care of at home. She’ll handle her family matters and go directly to Mobei to meet me. Xiangxiang… Dad will leave in a week.”

Lu Yunxiang patted Lu Ziqian’s arm with a smile.

“Dad, go do what you need to do. I’ll stay at home and live well, waiting for you to come back.”

“Xiangxiang…”

She was so understanding, it made him feel heartbroken.

The two families had already discussed Lu Yunxiang and Ji Mingjing’s wedding.

Since Lu Ziqian was leaving in a week.

Lu Yunxiang and Ji Mingjing’s wedding was scheduled for three days later.

Because it was so rushed.

Many of the Lu family’s relatives and friends were stationed in distant places, and three days wasn’t even enough time for them to take the train.

Plus, Lu Yunxiang and Ji Mingjing both wanted a low-key wedding, only inviting the Lu and Ji families.

And the Xie family of three insisted on joining in the fun.

They would simply hold a simple wedding first.

When Lu Ziqian came back, they would find a suitable opportunity to have a grand celebration!

The Ji family did a great job.

Because the wedding was so rushed, and many people couldn’t attend, they had to do everything they could to give Lu Yunxiang the respect she deserved.

Regarding the dowry, they bought the best of the best for the three-piece set and the ring.

The Ji family also gave Lu Yunxiang a two-story villa, registered in her name.

Ji Grandma and Zhou Pianran originally each gave her a set of very expensive greeting gifts.

Now that Lu Yunxiang was marrying Ji Mingjing and holding a wedding, they each gave her another set!

They also gave her a passbook, directly into Lu Yunxiang’s hands.

It was the bride price.

Twenty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight!

At that time, a bride price of five hundred and eighty was a huge sum.

Let alone such a large astronomical figure.

This showed how much the Ji family liked Lu Yunxiang.

The Ji family’s attitude also pleased Lu Ziqian.

The two families sat together, enjoying a lively and harmonious meal.

Looking at Lu Yunxiang and Ji Mingjing, who were lovey-dovey, Zhou Yi’ran suggested.

“Since the wedding is in three days, why don’t you two go get your marriage license tomorrow? You can’t have a wedding without a license, right?”

Zhou Pianran nodded repeatedly.

“Yes, yes, yes, we need to get the certificate first. Mingjing, get ready, take Xiangxiang to get the certificate tomorrow.”

Ji Mingjing squeezed Lu Yunxiang’s hand tightly.

His voice was steady and filled with excitement.

“Okay!”

He couldn’t hide the excitement in his voice.

Both families were very happy.

After lunch, everyone sat together and chatted.

Lu Yunxiang directly used the fruit Xie Ju’an bought to make a simple fruit yogurt dessert in the kitchen, then brought it out for everyone to try.

The fruit was bought by Xie Ju’an, and the yogurt was bought from the system mall.

It was the first time everyone had tasted something so sweet and delicious, they were all curious and praised Lu Yunxiang’s cooking skills.

Xiao Bao liked it very much too.

As evening approached, everyone went home.

They had to go get the certificate tomorrow, so they needed to get a good night’s rest.

Xie Ju’an and Xie Guichen went to stay at the guesthouse.

Ding Jingjing took Xiao Bao to stay at Lu Yunxiang’s place.

Ji Mingjing sent Lu Yunxiang and the others back.

He was reluctant to leave.

“Xiangxiang, I’ll pick you up at eight tomorrow.”

Lu Yunxiang smiled and kissed him on the lips.

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

Ji Mingjing’s eyes were burning with passion.

He was also incredibly excited.

They could get the certificate tomorrow.

They could get married the day after tomorrow.

He couldn’t control his joyful heart.

After Ji Mingjing left.

Lu Yunxiang went straight to Lu Ziqian and Zhou Yiran’s east wing to find them.

They were both happy to see Lu Yunxiang.

Zhou Yiran was very perceptive.

“Xiangxiang, are you getting the certificate tomorrow? You seem a little nervous.”

Lu Yunxiang smiled.

“Yes and no.”

Lu Ziqian looked at her with a question mark, “Hmm?”

Lu Yunxiang smiled at Lu Ziqian and Zhou Yiran, “Dad, A Jing and I have only known each other for a short time, and we’re already getting the certificate. You and Auntie Yiran, aren’t you going to get the certificate?”

One sentence.

It directly made Lu Ziqian and Zhou Yiran’s faces turn red.

Lu Ziqian wasn’t good with interpersonal relationships to begin with.

Now he was speechless.

He had actually wanted to propose it for a long time.

But he couldn’t find a suitable opportunity.

Zhou Yiran hung her head, her face was red to the roots of her ears.

She, who was usually quick-witted, couldn’t say a word.

Lu Yunxiang smiled and covered her mouth.

“Dad, Auntie Yiran, this is a rare opportunity, I’m going to get the certificate tomorrow, let’s go together? It’s the same whether we get one or two certificates! Let’s get them together, it’s a good omen!”

Lu Ziqian took a deep breath.

Then, his eyes fell on Zhou Yiran with passion.

“Yiran, will you marry me?”

Zhou Yiran felt her heart skip a beat.

She had been by Lu Ziqian’s side for ten years.

She knew what kind of person Lu Ziqian was.

He was completely focused on research.

If it weren’t for her reminders and care, he would even forget to eat.

Let alone getting a marriage certificate.

When she fell in love with Lu Ziqian, she knew he was special.

She didn’t ask for anything from Lu Ziqian.

It was good enough for them to live like this for the rest of their lives.

Even if they didn’t get married.

Even if they didn’t have a marriage certificate.

She didn’t care.

But!

What woman doesn’t want a ceremony?

She just didn’t bring it up.

She knew Lu Ziqian was special.

But that didn’t mean she didn’t want it!

She blushed and nodded.

“Okay.”
