Part Three, Chapter 137: Family Visit and Wedding

k at who your husband is""Just have confidence, if anything happens to the Gu family, you won't be implicated.""Well, don't worry."On this side, Gu Ruandong went straight back to the Ruizhi Group from...Chen Ling was especially happy today because she felt more integrated into Song Jingye's circle of friends. 。She already liked Yaoyao and Tinglan very much. Unexpectedly, Ruannuan was also a wonderful person. Throughout the meal, because she was the youngest and considered a newcomer, all three of them took special care of her. 。But she didn't get drunk like Song Jingye said she would. She just drank politely, partly because she didn't want to make a fool of herself on their first meeting, and partly because she was worried that if Song Jingye got drunk, no one would look after him. So, she was perfectly sober right now. 。

Ruan Ruan, who was beside me, hadn't had a drop of alcohol and was more sober than anyone else. Only Ting Lan and Yao Yao had drunk quite a bit. To be honest, their drinking tolerance wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. 。When Song Jingye beckoned her over, he saw Zhuo Yunan and Gu Ruandong striding towards them. 。Then, Tinglan walked towards Gu Ruandong, and Yaoyao walked towards Zhuo Yuanan. 。

This... 。Seeing Chen Ning's eyes widen in disbelief, he couldn't understand how she could mistake her husband for someone else even after drinking. Their husbands were practically the same height, but their personalities, appearances, and styles of dress were completely different. 。Next to

Ruanruan wore a knowing expression, as if she was used to it. 。Gu Ruandong saw that Yaoyao was about to hug Zhuo Yunan, and he was furious. She had harbored a childhood crush on him that never materialized, and her feelings were still not extinguished. 。He lifted her up like a little chick, carrying the soft and yielding person back into his embrace. It was a chilly night in the open parking lot, she'd come out looking beautiful despite the cold, dressed thinly and shivering. He wanted to get angry, but she burrowed into him, hugging him tightly. He could only helplessly wrap her in his own coat. 。Zuo Yu'an was fine on the other hand. Tinglan had always been tense, only occasionally indulging himself with a drink now and then, which he supported. 。Last time, because she mistook Gu Ruandong for him, he was still angry. 。This time, it was clear to see that Lan hesitated because she saw Yaoyao walking towards him first. She seemed lost and afraid of being left alone, so she walked towards Gu Ruandong's side. When she reached in front of Gu Ruandong, she realized it wasn't him, so she stopped. 。For a moment, everyone was gathered around Song Jingye's car, while Song Jingye stood alone at the entrance of the restaurant, watching Chen Ling return and calling her over. 。They got him drunk, and there was still a shred of conscience left in them, they wouldn't just leave him. 。Gu Ruandong gave his driver to Song Jingye, and he and Yaoyao rode in Lu Kuo's car back home. 。

But Song Jingye didn't come over for a long time, insisting on Chen Ling going back. 。When Chen Ning was about to go over, she suddenly saw him walking towards her. 。His gait was as impressive as that of a soldier marching at the front of the parade during National Day celebrations every year. 。Even drunk, muscle memory made him walk very steadily and with a valiant air. 。Chen Ling was dumbfounded again, for the first time, seeing another side of Song Jingye, he, how could he be so cute She didn't even want to interrupt him, she just watched him walk towards her. 。But after watching for a while, she began to feel a surge of emotion. He walked towards her with a steady gait, his eyes fixed on her without blinking. Perhaps he was truly drunk, or perhaps not. He seemed to worship her as if she were a belief, a steadfast light, a burning love. 。

She was stunned, without a trace of jest in her eyes. 。He walked up to her, even bowing respectfully, standing straight and earnestly asked: "Ningning, can I kiss you"

Chen Ning was both moved and amused, she took a step forward and hugged him, looking up: "Yes, yes" 。"When it came to the second time, she tiptoed up and kissed him." 。Song Jingye seized the opportunity and hugged her tightly, kissing her fiercely. He held her contentedly. 。。Seeing others flaunt their affection is truly boring. After seeing Gu Ruan Dong off with his driver, the rest of us all got into our own cars and left, waiting to show up again at his wedding. 。The driver sent them home, it was late at night. 。Chen Ning helped him onto the bed and turned to go get him some water, but suddenly he was pulled back and fell into his arms. 。He held her close, looking at her with a dazed and dreamy expression. 。

This scene brought back memories of their first encounter. He was drunk then, too, pulling her into his arms. Back then, she was lost in the moment, going with the flow. 。She wondered if, after she refused him that time, there would have been a different story between them. What would have happened to them afterwards

Song Jingye leaned up and kissed her. She responded for a while, then remembered the question and pushed him away, "Uncle, I have a question for you" 。He chased after her lips, mumbling, "You ask... " 。"You ignored me for so many years, and now that you're paying attention to me, is it because I was your first woman If it had been another woman that night, would you have fallen in love with her too"She suddenly started questioning the past, really giving me a headache. 。Song Jingye continued to chase after her lips, kissing them for a long time before finally letting go. He answered seriously, "It doesn't matter what the cause is, what matters is that in the process, we came to know each other, fell in love, and our souls resonated." 。His eyes were still blurry from drinking, but he was remarkably clear when answering questions. 。Chen Ling let out a sigh: "It's truly a disheartening answer." 。Song Jingye held her tightly: “Now your life is in my hands.” 。He said this, Chen Ling still had some air left. 。At the beginning of love, everything is often too vague to analyze. Love at first sight may not be anything more than infatuation. 。Perhaps because he had been drinking, Song Jingye was more enthusiastic and... tireless than usual, not allowing her to be distracted by such nonsense. 。On New Year's Eve, the two returned to Song's house. 。On the first and second day of the Lunar New Year, I mainly accompanied Song Jingye to visit some seniors. 。When I went to Old Master Lu's house, it was very lively because the Zhuo Yu'an family also happened to come over to pay New Year's greetings. Adults and children were all bustling around together. 。Old Master Lu had watched Song Jingye grow up. Among all the grandchildren in the courtyard, he thought Song Jingye was the most upright. He would always follow him around, asking questions this and that, just like his own grandson. He liked him as much as he did his own grandson, because he had the demeanor of his younger self. So when he saw him, Old Master Lu pulled him aside to chat. 。

Lu Kuo could see that in this family, anyone, even casually, was more senior than him. 。He is still favored by his grandfather, all thanks to Ruan Ruan and Xiao Er's popularity. 。Song Jingye introduced Chen Ning to the old man and personally handed him a wedding invitation. 。The old man was overjoyed and kept saying how good it was. 。

This was Chen Ning's first time so truly and closely participating in Song Jingye's life. They, these "children of the big courtyard," were very different from what she imagined. Although they seemed quite unapproachable on the surface, when they truly interacted privately, they revealed themselves to be a group of people with high character and refinement, completely devoid of the air of privilege. 。And it's clear they have a great relationship, not just on the surface level, but she is certain that if any one of them has a problem, the others would all go out of their way to help. 。ere were more and more headhunters contacting him, he considered it an annoyance. After that, whenever a headhunter called, if he was in a good mood, he would directly hang up. If he was in a bad mood...
