Because she is getting married today, she put on a layer of light makeup, which covered her originally pale face. She looks full of energy and spirit.
The two of them clasped their hands tightly and looked at each other, both with smiles in their eyes.
Xia Xingchen sat in the passenger seat and did not dare to look back, fearing to disturb them. She just watched quietly through the rearview mirror, and could clearly see the deep affection between them.
Decades of deep love are hard to express in words.
Xia Xingchen looked at them and couldn't help but be distracted. He couldn't help but start to sketch out what he and Bai Yeqing would look like when they grow old in the future...
By then, maybe you will have a lot of children and grandchildren!
Thinking of this, she glanced at the man beside her, her eyes full of tenderness.
"What are you thinking about?"
Bai Yeqing noticed her gaze and turned around. The affection in her eyes had not yet faded and was captured by him.
She smiled and said, "I'm wondering what we will be like when we are old."
"A face full of wrinkles and a head full of white hair?"
Xia Xingchen smiled and continued, "My son and his wife are showing their affection."
"Daughter and son-in-law..." At this point, Bai Yeqing frowned and changed the subject, "My daughter is under 30 years old and is not allowed to fall in love."
Although he doesn't have a daughter yet, as a father, he feels very unhappy when he thinks about his daughter dating another man.
"..." Xia Xing rolled her eyes, "Mr. Bai, are you an old-fashioned person? If my daughter really falls in love for the first time at the age of 30, she will hate you to death."
"When you're 30, you've just grown up. It's best to fall in love then."
"If you grow up at 30, then am I still a child now?" Xia Xingchen strongly disagreed with what Mr. Bai said.
He nodded and glanced at her sideways, "You are the kid."
"..." Xia Xingchen leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, "Mr. Bai, don't you feel guilty for making a 'little friend' pregnant twice?"
Bai Yeqing's expression did not change at all. He looked straight ahead, observing the road conditions, and said calmly, "If my daughter could have the same good taste as you, I could allow her to date at the age of 20, no, 25."
"…" I've seen narcissistic people, but I've never seen one who is so self-righteous. Xia Xingchen thought that Mr. Bai's face was probably as thick as a city wall.
… … … … … …
When the marriage certificate was in their hands, the two elders' eyes were red at the same time. Xia Xingchen was also very moved.
After more than 20 years of separation, the torment of longing and waiting is something only the two parties involved know best.
I just came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and received countless calls from the wedding venue. The auspicious time was about to arrive, but the two parties were still on the way.
Bai Yeqing asked Bai Suye to delay time as much as possible at the wedding scene, and he did not dare to slow down the car speed here.
The wedding was held smoothly at an auspicious time.
The wedding scene was very lively.
When watching the two people in their fifties taking the oath on the stage, the old lady burst into tears and kept nudging the old man with her elbow, asking him to help her get tissues.
When the old man took out the tissue for the fifth time, his brows furrowed, "Today is a great day. Why are you crying? Everyone is looking at you. Those who know will think you are getting married, and those who don't..."
“Puh, puh, puh!” The old lady hit the old man twice in anger, “Can you talk too much? Just give me a tissue when I tell you to, stop nagging.”
"Women are trouble!" The old man snorted, handed the tissue to the old lady, and looked at her again. "Your makeup has been ruined by crying. You look so ugly."
When the old lady heard this, she cried even harder. "Look at you, you are so mean and you only say I am ugly. I have been with you for half my life and I have given birth to both sons and daughters for you, but I have never heard you say a single nice word to me! The wedding ring was asked from you last time when I was jealous of Xingchen! Look at Qingrang..."
The old lady seemed to be really sad when she said this, sobbing, "Look at him, how romantic he is to Lan Ting! The gifts he gave her were orchids he planted himself and paintings he painted for her! You have nothing!"
The old lady's accusation drew the attention of everyone around her. Those standing nearby were all the old man's former bad friends in the army, who hadn't seen the opportunity to criticize him.
The old man's face was tense, and he pulled the old lady away. After a while, the old lady had a bunch of flowers in her hand. The old lady who was crying just now was now smiling and very happy.
On the side, Xia Xingchen, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The old man is cool and the old lady is very easy to satisfy. The two of them are really a perfect match.
"What are you laughing at?" Bai Yeqing asked in a low voice.
Xia Xingchen looked up at him and said, "In the future, when you are older, do you think you will have the same temper as Dad..."
She didn't dare to say the word "irritable". She stopped in time.
Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows, "The new daughter-in-law just came in and she dared to say that her father-in-law has a bad temper. Mrs. Bai, you are very brave."
"Shh!" He didn't lower his voice at all. Xia Xingchen jumped up anxiously and covered his mouth with his hand. He glared at him angrily, "Bai Yeqing, you did it on purpose!"
Bai Yeqing grabbed her hand and put his other hand around her waist, saying with disdain: "That temper has kept me in dire straits for more than 20 years."
"You little brat, do you think I'm deaf?" The old man suddenly turned his head and glared at him fiercely, "How dare you make up stories about your father in front of your wife!"
Xia Xingchen was so scared that she quickly stood behind Bai Yeqing. Fortunately, he was tall enough, so she hid behind him and crouched down a little, so that even her head was not visible.
Bai Yeqing grabbed her hand and said, "Dad, you can be mean to me, but you can only scare your precious grandson. You can do whatever you want."
Xia Xingchen was so scared that she quickly stood behind Bai Yeqing. Fortunately, he was tall enough, so she hid behind him and crouched down a little, so that even her head was not visible.
Bai Yeqing put his hands behind his back and grabbed her hands, "Dad, you can be mean to me, but you're scaring the precious grandson in Xingchen's belly. You can do whatever you want."
Xia Xingchen pinched his palm, hid behind him, and muttered in a low voice: "You are using me as a shield!"
He turned around and said, "You said it first."
"..." Xia Xingchen kept silent, fearing that the old man would get angry at him.
The old lady was also worried about scaring her little grandson, so she quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, stop yelling. Xingchen is pregnant now, and it's not even three months yet, don't scare her. And you..."
The first sentence was directed at the old man. Perhaps because of the flowers the old man had given her, the old lady's tone was much gentler than usual. The last sentence was directed at her son, with a slightly harder tone, "What do you mean by dire straits? Without your father, how could you have become president at such a young age? You are just a child, you can't talk."
