Chapter 1282: Chapter 1281: Without a Wedding, It’s Not a Marriage
"You’re... back!" Wei Xueqing looked at Yang Chen, and a thousand words welled up in her heart, but in the end, they only turned into a simple greeting.
"I’m back!" Yang Chen nodded slightly, his voice deep.
Wei Xueqing took a deep breath, hiding her emotions, and looked at Ye Xin, puzzled, "Left Envoy Yang?"
Ye Xin laughed, "Qingqing, are you sure you should call me Left Envoy Yang?"
"Ah!" Wei Xueqing screamed and excitedly rushed towards Ye Xin, happily saying, "Xinxin! You’ve regained your memory!"
"Of course!"
The two women quickly held onto each other and chatted nonstop; at this moment, the deep affection of years-long friendship was fully displayed.
Then, Yang Chen looked towards Ruan Ling and Fu Zhou.
He was about to speak when Ruan Ling said, "Quick! Get inside! Don’t just stand outside!"
Immediately, Ruan Ling invited everyone into the house.
As they entered, Ruan Ling said to Yang Chen, "Quickly sit on the sofa, you’ve just recovered, your body is weak."
The dean understood Ruan Ling’s meaning and laughed, "Yanyan, hurry to the sofa, stop clinging to your brother, he has just recovered, don’t tire him out!"
Chen Siyan obediently got off Yang Chen and sat down on the sofa.
Seeing this, Ruan Ling’s brow relaxed, and she looked at Yang Chen with a smile, carefully observing him to see if he was injured.
Being a mother, she was naturally more deeply concerned.
Fu Zhou asked with concern, "Xiaochen, are you alright?"
"I’m fine." Yang Chen smiled and introduced, "This is Ye Liangcai, Uncle Ye. Uncle Ye, this is my father Fu Zhou, and this is my mother Ruan Ling."
Fu Zhou saw Ye Liangcai, furrowed his brow slightly, and snorted coldly as a greeting.
Ruan Ling nudged Fu Zhou, smiled at Ye Liangcai, and said, "Brother Ye, we’ve met before."
Ye Liangcai had heard about them before, and nodded with a smile, "Brother Fu Zhou, sister-in-law!"
"This is Ye Xin, also your daughter-in-law," Yang Chen said with a smile.
After this ordeal, Yang Chen’s struggles were resolved, and he fully accepted their identities.
"Xinxin has regained her memory! That’s wonderful!" Ruan Ling held Ye Xin’s hand, appearing very happy.
"Uncle, Aunt!" Ye Xin said nervously, blushing slightly, "I met you once when I was little, but I was too young to remember clearly. However, I kept the photos, and that’s how I found Yang Chen back then."
"You cared enough to do that." Ruan Ling looked at Ye Xin, feeling more satisfied and happier the more she looked at her.
With such a figure, appearance, and background, Ruan Ling found her to be perfect, naturally the ideal daughter-in-law.
"Brother! What on earth happened to you? They said you were poisoned, it scared us to death!" Chen Siyan said as she recovered.
Wei Xueqing, Ruan Ling, and Fu Zhou quieted down and looked at Yang Chen.
They were eager to know as well.
Yang Chen thought for a moment, slowly narrating what had happened.
Starting from the few prominent families, and then how the black-and-white Elders poisoned him...
Ye Xin continued the story of Yang Chen after being poisoned, and how she helped him detox.
She narrated up until the point she fainted.
Then Yang Chen took over, talking about what happened after Ye Xin fainted, and how she was revived.
After hearing all this, everyone was deeply moved.
Even those who knew the story—Ye Liangcai and the dean along with Elder Zhuo felt overwhelmed with emotion.
The mutual sacrifices, the uncompromising efforts to save each other, like a love story full of trials and obstacles, ultimately overcoming difficulties to be together.
It was very touching!
After listening, Ruan Ling said, "We weren’t here before, so your wedding hasn’t been held yet. Now we’re all here, even the in-laws are here. Soon, we will set a date for your wedding!"
Ye Xin blushed deeply upon hearing this.
Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin, amused, "We’re already an old married couple, we’ve had the certificate for years, why are you embarrassed!"
Ye Xin glared at Yang Chen, "Who got the certificate with you! Big liar!"
Yang Chen was somewhat exasperated; Ye Xin was the one who had initially dragged him to get the certificate, how did he become the big liar?
Wei Xueqing supported her friend, "Do you really want to take advantage of everything! You got plenty of advantage with the certificate; do you not want a wedding? Without a wedding, it doesn’t count as getting married!"
"Exactly!" With her friend’s support, Ye Xin found more courage.
Yang Chen was a bit frustrated, looking at the two women who were quite united!
Ruan Ling also said, "Exactly! Xiaochen, the marriage certificate has legal effects, you’re legally married. But without a wedding, how could it be called a wedding? A wedding is to let relatives and friends know you’re married, that you have a partner, and to have them witness your promise to your spouse for life. It’s an event with significance, a ritual with deeper meanings. If you don’t hold it... it’s not right!"
Ruan Ling’s explanation of the wedding resonated deeply with Yang Chen.
Marriage is not merely a ceremony but a profound tradition and commitment, passed down through ages.
After hearing, Ye Xin looked expectantly at Yang Chen.
Which woman wouldn’t hope for a beautiful wedding from their loved one?
Yang Chen hesitated slightly and said, "There will definitely be a wedding, but not now."
Hearing this, disappointment flashed in Ye Xin’s eyes.
Ruan Ling frowned and gave Yang Chen a look, "What’s the delay about?"
Yang Chen hadn’t replied, but Ye Xin quickly spoke to ease the situation, "Aunt, you can’t blame Yang Chen, we have many things to do now, we have to go to Jin Chen first thing in the morning. Time is urgent. When things slow down for us, we will surely hold the wedding. Now isn’t the right moment."
Listening, Ruan Ling appreciated Ye Xin’s understanding and sensibility, but she still gave Yang Chen a look, scolding, "You’ve got such a wonderful girl, you better treat her well, or I won’t forgive you!"
Yang Chen smiled and looked at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin blushed slightly and glanced at Yang Chen, snorted coldly, and looked elsewhere.
Though Ye Xin was considerate, she still got upset.
Getting rejected, especially regarding her wedding, was a bitter feeling!
Afterward, with the servants’ diligence, everyone enjoyed a warm dinner.
During dinner, everyone chatted happily, sharing recent events and plans for the future.
Only Fu Zhou and Ye Liangcai exchanged silent, serious glances as if they were enemies.
Once dinner concluded, everyone needed some rest, even Yang Chen and Ye Xin, as they had more important tasks.
Finally, only Fu Zhou and Ye Liangcai remained in the hall.
Once everyone else had left, Fu Zhou stood up, looking at Ye Liangcai, "Shall we talk outside?"
"Let’s go!" Ye Liangcai sighed, standing up; he knew a deep conversation with Fu Zhou was necessary to clear up some misunderstandings.
