"Maybe my sister and brother-in-law would rather see the stars being happy."
"Will she be happy?! Do you think she will be happy if she recognizes the people who killed her father and mother as her parents-in-law?"
Li Hanyan was speechless and couldn't utter a word.
"You are harming her by indulging her like this!"
Li Qiming scolded her and hung up the phone. Li Hanyan looked ahead, listening to the beeping sound on the phone. Was it to hurt Xingxing? However, Tang Yu's love for her was not something every man could do.

The journey of more than ten hours was not easy. However, when the plane landed in Youcheng, Song Zhixing took off her cotton coat and left the cabin. Although it was still very hot, she was very excited.
I opened my arms and breathed in the fresh air. It seemed like I had only been away for half a month, but it had been a long time since I last visited there.
Song Zhixing was still very excited when she got on the car. Tang Yu and Du Hui were completely different from her. They had just arrived in the capital of Country J and had not rested yet before they flew back non-stop. They had flown back and forth for nearly 30 hours, and their eyes were now bloodshot.
"Second Master, are you going to the Civil Affairs Bureau today?" Du Hui looked at the time sleepily. "The Civil Affairs Bureau is off work now. If you want to go again, you have to make a phone call first."
"No need. It's so late today." Song Zhixing replied before Tang Yu could answer. She knew they were working hard and she didn't want them to accompany her.
Tang Yu had been resting his eyes, but when he heard this, he raised his eyes and said, "We've only been on the plane for more than ten hours, and you're already regretting it?"
"How can I regret it?" Song Zhixing looked at him, then at Du Hui, "I just saw that you are all very tired. Anyway, the Civil Affairs Bureau can't run away, and neither can I. We'll go tomorrow."
"I think that's fine." Du Hui yawned lazily. He just wanted to get into bed and have a good sleep!
Tang Yu looked at Song Zhixing deeply and did not reject her proposal. As long as she nodded, it would be the same sooner or later.

After returning to the villa, Tang Yu went upstairs without even having dinner. When Song Zhixing came out of the shower and pushed open his door, he saw that he was already asleep on the bed.
The room was kept at a comfortable constant temperature. He was lying on the bed in a grey robe, looking peaceful. Due to the long flight, a light stubble grew on his chin, but it did not affect his handsomeness at all, but made him look more mature and charming.
Song Zhixing stood at the door and watched in fascination. When she thought about marrying this man tomorrow and how this man would change from being her 'second uncle' to her husband, she still felt it was an incredible dream.
"Miss, it's time to eat. Do you want to wake up the gentleman?" Just as I was in a daze, Sister Li came upstairs.
Song Zhixing came back to his senses and made a 'hush' gesture, signaling the other party to be quiet. Afraid of disturbing Tang Yu, he quickly closed the door and spoke: "He has been flying for too long, let him get some good sleep."
Sister Li nodded, "Then come down and eat quickly. I see that you have lost a lot of weight this time."
Song Zhixing was in a good mood, smiling and acting like a spoiled child, following Sister Li downstairs, "The chefs over there don't have such good cooking skills as Sister Li, I can't even eat! That's why I lost weight."
"You just said nice things to coax me. You were gone for such a long time and didn't even call me. I thought you were going to stay there and never come back. You made me sad for a long time."
"I also thought I would never come back. Fortunately, my second uncle came to find me."
"How can I not go look for you? The second master has been like a lost soul for the past half month that you have been away. He is usually busy at the company and rarely comes back. When he finally came back, he didn't say a word and went upstairs alone in a depressed mood. I was still talking to the housekeeper yesterday. If you don't come back, you will not be able to stay in this house sooner or later."
"Then I won't leave anymore."
"real?"
Song Zhixing nodded solemnly, sat down at the table, took the cutlery, tasted the food, and looked up at Sister Li, her eyes sparkling like diamonds. Sister Li scooped soup for her and glanced at her, "Anything to say?"
She held the chopsticks in her mouth, with a sweet and shy smile on her face, "Sister Li, I plan to..."
"What's going on tomorrow?" She spoke slowly, and Sister Li became anxious.
Song Zhixing put down his chopsticks and said in one breath: "I will marry my second uncle tomorrow."
Sister Li was stunned by this sudden good news. After a while, she said, "Have you discussed it? Does the Second Master know?"
"Yes. We discussed it on the way back. Sister Li, what do you think? Can we get married?" She seemed to be seriously asking for Sister Li's opinion. In her world, there were only so many relatives. Sister Li watched her grow up and accompanied her. In comparison, she was closer to Sister Li than to her grandfather who was far away in Country J.
Sister Li sat down beside her, with a motherly look in her eyes. "When I first knew that Second Master had feelings for you, to be honest, I couldn't accept it. After all, we are all conservative. But later, after seeing more, I knew that Second Master was really good to you. Sister Li is also an experienced person. There are not many men in this world who are truly good to you, not to mention that he is Second Master. You and Second Master are not really related by blood. Although you are a little young, if you have made up your mind, I will support you."
Song Zhixing felt warm in her heart. She moved over and coquettishly leaned on Sister Li's shoulder. "Fortunately, you support me. Otherwise, I would have thought that everyone in the world would be against us."
Sister Li held her hand, as if to give her some strength. "No matter how dark my road is, as long as the two of you persist and keep going, we will always see the light. Besides, the Second Master will not let you suffer any grievances."
Song Zhixing smiled, and became more determined to marry Tang Yu. What she said at the airport was not an impulse, nor was it just talk. She wanted to marry that man and be his real wife.
"Miss, there is a call for you." At this moment, the servant walked into the restaurant from outside.
Song Zhixing asked: "Did anyone say who it was?"
"It's Mr. Li."
The smile on her face faded a little, and after a moment of silence, she stood up and walked out.
It just so happened that she also wanted to call her grandfather.
"Grandpa." Song Zhixing took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally before picking up the phone and putting it to his ear. Li Qiming was about to get angry when Song Zhixing spoke again, "Grandpa, can you please listen to me first?"
Li Qiming snorted, "You say."
"… I don't want to be separated from Tang Yu anymore."
"you!"
"I like him and I like being with him. Even though he is 12 years older than me, I don't think this affects my feelings for him."
