The girl was originally here to choose a disc. When she was near the shelf, a stranger at the other end caught her attention. It was rare to see such a handsome man in such a place. He was tall and straight, and his gestures revealed a mature masculine charm. There was a person of the opposite sex standing next to him, but they were both concentrating on looking at the products, so they staggered. She couldn't help but move over and stand next to him.
"Is it called "City of Angels"? " he asked suddenly, his voice slow, graceful and unusually pleasant to hear.
She didn't know whether she was asking herself, so she said "hmm" vaguely.
Then, he put the disc into the shopping cart, and then carefully selected a few more. When he was selecting things, his fingers were slightly bent, and he slowly slid across the covers of the discs one by one, which was extremely charming. So, when this hand suddenly came to hold her, the girl was extremely surprised, but she followed him obediently. He apologized to the person, and turned back to look for Xieyi with a little anger, and found that he was lingering among a pile of discounted items in the aisle.
"Ayan, look at this pair of cotton slippers. They are so cute. They come with the same couple shoes. How about we buy two pairs and wear them together?" Xieyi begged, not realizing that her man was almost cheating on her.
"What couple slippers? You bought them for yourself to wear alone."
Li Zeliang took her away. But within five minutes, he lost his focus and found Xieyi missing again, so he had to go back to look for her. The whole supermarket was like a foggy forest, and she was often tempted by the roadside. He had originally made up his mind to control his temper and accommodate her in the next few days, but after repeating this several times, his patience was completely worn out by her.
"Will you accompany me to find those couple's mouthwash cups?"
"No." He said firmly. He hated it most when people were not doing the right thing when shopping, but wandering around, and spent a lot of time shopping even though they clearly didn't need the things.
"I've bought everything. I'm going home now," he ordered.
She lowered her eyebrows and pretended to be wronged and said, "But when I have a toothache, shopping can distract me. Otherwise, I will feel dizzy and I won't want to eat."
Xie Yi used his trump card, pretending to be pitiful and acting like a complete punching bag.
Li Zeliang met her gaze and realized it himself. His heart softened a little and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Forget it," he said helplessly, "Just wander around, I'll accompany you."
Xieyi carried him on his back and raised his eyebrows proudly. This trick really worked every time. Yeah, victory!
She did not forget to press on and said, "Don't complain about my nagging again."
"Um."
"Don't just turn around and leave."
"Um."
"keep your word?"
"keep your word."
"real?"
"Really." He endured it.
Xie Yi smiled contentedly, and said, "Then accompany me to buy that."
Li Zeliang's answer was originally so honest, credible and powerful, but when he followed Xieyi's gaze, his face immediately turned pale. The shelf was actually full of women's sanitary products.
"… "
This woman must have been sent by God to play a trick on him.
The next day when they were moving, Xiaolin came early to help Xieyi clean up some things. She took her hand out of her pocket very modestly, and then deliberately stretched it out in front of Xieyi slowly.
Xieyi didn't notice it the first time, so Xiaolin did it again, even slower than the first time. This time, Xieyi noticed it and asked, "What are you wearing that's so blinding?"
"It's a diamond." Xiao Lin said complacently.
"What a big one," Xieyi said, "Xiaolin, you are really a little rich woman."
"I certainly didn't buy this myself."
"Then who gave it to you? So generous." Xieyi pulled her hand and looked at it carefully.
"Engagement ring, given by someone."
Xie Yi was startled when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Did Ji Yingsong give it to you?"
"Yes!" Xiao Lin nodded excitedly, "He proposed to me. It was like a dream. I couldn't sleep the whole night."
Xie Yi looked at Xiao Lin's smiling face and stretched out his hand to pinch him, "Congratulations, congratulations. It's not easy for you to influence that kind of dead wood."
"You are still the same." Xiaolin blinked.
Then, the two happy little women burst into laughter. But just this one thing brought trouble to Li Zeliang.
At night, Xie Yi looked at her ring from left to right and asked, "Why is the diamond on Xiao Lin's ring so big, and mine is so small?"
"Love has no distinction between high and low." He used this wise saying to educate her.
"miser."
Li Zeliang raised his eyebrows, "If you don't like it, just give the ring back to me."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Yi immediately held the ring on her left hand in her arms like a treasure, "No! Who would want to take something back after giving it to them?"
This problem was not completely solved until the second week when the two went to the photo studio to take wedding photos.
Makeup artist A said, "Ms. Shen, this wedding ring is really exquisite. It matches your slender fingers perfectly. Unlike some of our customers in the past, they wanted to wear all their belongings on their bodies, just like nouveau riche."
Makeup artist B agreed: "Yes, this is the reserve of a wealthy family."
Makeup artist C sighed: "It is a blessing to marry a man like Mr. Li. When Miss Shen becomes Mrs. Li, she will be able to get whatever she wants."
Xie Yi smiled happily and said, "In fact, love is not divided into high and low."
Not only did she apply what she learned from Li Zeliang, she also pretended to be modest.
The wedding date was approaching, and things were going on one after another. The date for registering at the Civil Affairs Bureau was set in advance. Li Zeliang was very cautious and turned down all official duties in advance to reserve that day. In the first week, he even accompanied Xieyi to choose a pink cheongsam, which was very suitable for Xieyi and set off her tall figure, which was actually quite attractive.
One to three o'clock in the afternoon is auspicious time.
Although it was rumored that such registrations did not require a date, Aunt Ren still told them to believe it and abide by it. In the morning, something happened at the law firm and they were short of staff, so they had to call Xieyi back.
Li Zeliang was very unhappy. Xieyi repeatedly promised that she would go home early and not miss important things. However, she and Wu Weiming were so busy working that they forgot the time. When everyone was hungry, she realized that it was already one o'clock. Xieyi exclaimed and took a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau. There was a traffic jam on the road, and she didn't have time to go back to change into a cheongsam, so she rushed there with dishevelled hair and dirty face. A few minutes after 2:30, she saw Li Zeliang standing downstairs of the Civil Affairs Bureau in the car.
Li Zeliang's face darkened. "It seems you haven't forgotten. Fortunately you came, otherwise I would have thought you had run away from your marriage."
Xieyi saw that he was indeed a little annoyed, and she knew she was in the wrong, so she could only apologize carefully, for fear that he would get angry and really not allow her to go to work. She didn't want to be a full-time housewife. Li Zeliang mentioned it once, but she firmly resisted it at that time. Fortunately, the Civil Affairs Bureau had just started working hours and there were not many people, so they were the first couple in line. After a while, a young couple came, and the woman was wearing a pink dress. Li Zeliang glanced at Xieyi and saw that she had completely forgotten to wear the cheongsam he helped her choose, so his eyes darkened and he said angrily: "It's only once in a lifetime, and you are so perfunctory."
The young man was happily handing out wedding candies everywhere. He originally wanted to give some to Li Zeliang, but when he saw Li Zeliang's icy eyes, he immediately backed off and only gave some to Xieyi.
Xie Yi took the wedding candy and said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations."
It's obvious that these two are here to get a marriage certificate.
Then, a man and a woman came, and they looked as if their eyes would get sores if they looked at each other for one more moment.
The woman sat down and angrily yelled, "I'm telling you, don't think that vixen is really interested in you. I guarantee that she will make you lose both your money and your lover in the future."
"That's better than keeping a tigress like you at home." The man retorted.
"What tigress? How dare you say I am a tigress?" the woman jumped up.
"You are not a tigress, so are you still a South China tiger?"
Xie Yi looked at the quarreling man and woman and couldn't help but shake his head. It was obvious that these two people were here to get a divorce certificate.
A few minutes later, the clerk Li who was handling the formalities had just sat down when the man who had just distributed the candy immediately brought the wedding candy over, put it on the table, and said, "Please have some candy, have some candy."
Li smiled and said thank you, then saw Xie Yi and Li Zeliang who were the first in line.
She raised her head and looked at Xie Yi first, then looked at Li Zeliang, whose face was livid, and asked doubtfully, "Are you... getting married, or getting divorced?"
Well
Xie Yi was slightly stunned.
Li Zeliang narrowed his eyes, a sign of an attack.
Xieyi hurriedly pulled him back and explained to him with a smile: "We are not getting divorced. We are here to get married."
The wedding date is set in March when spring is in full swing and the grass is green and the birds are singing.
The night before the wedding was a rehearsal arranged by the wedding company, and the relatives and friends of the newlyweds gathered at the hotel where the ceremony was held for dinner.
The two elders of the Li family came back from Australia several weeks in advance, and on the Xieyi side, Li Zeliang sent people to pick up Aunt Ren, Xieqing and Xie Minghao the day before, and Zhan Dongzhen also came with them. At dinner in the evening, except for letting Xieqing rest in the room, the whole family finally met formally.
After dinner, Mother Li and Aunt Ren sat together again.
"I haven't seen you for so many years, and you haven't aged at all," said Li's mother.
"You look younger only when you're old. You take better care of yourself abroad than we do." Aunt Ren said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that we would become in-laws." Mother Li sighed, "I remember when Xieyi and our second son were in the same school, they were so young and lived together. Old Shen made fun of me about it and said that he wanted the second son to be his live-in son-in-law. Now that he is in heaven, it can be considered that his wish has come true."
"We are blessed to be freehand."
"No, no, no, it's our second son's blessing. His bad temper can only be cured by Xie Yi."
After a while, Mother Li saw Xie Minghao busying around and asked again, "Is this the eldest son-in-law?"
Aunt Ren nodded, "But, we haven't had the wedding yet."
"Then hurry up, so that we can have a double happiness and make you smile from ear to ear."
Xieyi sat beside them, listening to the two old people chattering about family matters and smiling slightly.
Li Zeliang saw his elders off at the door and only rested after he was done.
Xie Yi walked behind him and called out, "Li Lao Er."
Li Zeliang turned around in surprise when he heard the voice, then his expression changed and he said viciously: "I think you are tired of living."
Unfortunately, Xie Yi was not afraid of him at all today. "So you call me Li Lao Er at home." She laughed and finally imitated Li's mother's tone, "Our Lao Er..."
He grabbed her wrist and smiled, "Have your wings hardened?"
"Your mother said that if you dare to bully me, she will spank you." Xie Yi said with a chuckle.
"You believe her words? She has never taught me a lesson in her life."
"No wonder then."
"What's the wonder?"
"No wonder you grew up to be so annoying."
"I hate you? Then why are you crying and insisting on marrying me?"
"Mingming..." Xieyi suddenly became anxious, "Mingmingly, it was you who asked me to marry you."
"Is there?" He asked slowly and casually.
Zhan Dongzhen came back from the bathroom and saw Xieyi and Li Zeliang bickering with each other. At this moment, Aunt Ren, who was standing next to the wedding planner, called him and said that he had a task to do tomorrow. Xieyi chose a Western-style wedding, but the bride's father passed away, and she couldn't find a suitable man to take her to the wedding.
Aunt Ren said: "You watched Xieyi grow up, and she treats you like her own brother, so we discussed it with the host and felt that you are a good fit."
"No problem." Zhan Dongzhen nodded, then turned back and glanced at Xieyi casually.
Tomorrow, he will marry her.
On the other side, a large group of young people sat together, talking about how to make things difficult for the groom when they met the bride tomorrow morning. Wu Weiming followed everyone's suggestions and wrote a long list of plans on the list. After the discussion, Zhou Pingxin pulled Xieyi over to consult Xieyi's opinions.
Xie Yi learned the whole process and pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, "Forget it." She was really afraid that if she played beyond the limit, Li Zeliang would turn hostile on the spot.
"Why?" Wu Weiming said, "The groom must suffer a little, and you can't let him get away with it easily, so that you can live a better life in the future."
Everyone nodded, many of them experienced people who understood the reason.
However, Xie Yi frowned and hesitated for a long time before saying, "What if he gets angry and doesn't want to marry me?"
After hearing Xieyi's words, everyone at the table was stunned, and then burst into laughter at the same time.
