Chapter 1344: Chapter 792: Marriage: Holding Your Hand, Growing Old Together (2)
Suddenly, she remembered how she used to deliberately interrupt her parents’ affection in Wenzhou...
Her father’s sense of revenge is really strong.
After having dinner.
An Youyou simply couldn’t sleep.
She thought to herself, she couldn’t just sit and wait for doom; she had to make An Ji speak out clearly to her parents.
After all, in matters of marriage, it’s still the man’s side that should be proactive.
However, An Ji had no parents, so there were no parental orders. And in marriage rituals, it’s naturally the elders who mention it, allowing the younger ones to have a say.
Of course, most importantly, An Ji always felt that by marrying her, he was snatching her away from her parents, who would undoubtedly be uneasy. Several times she’d seen An Ji wanting to speak, only to be deterred by her father’s gaze.
She didn’t think An Ji was cowardly.
When you truly love someone, you even care about the feelings of those around them.
An Youyou headed towards An Ji’s bedchamber.
Before even entering, she heard a familiar voice coming from the hall.
It was her father’s voice.
How could her father be in An Ji’s bedchamber?!
She carefully went in, instructing the palace attendant not to announce her.
She peeked her small head out, looking at the hall where her father and An Ji were drinking wine.
She could hardly believe it, her father actually drinking with An Ji.
Even though her father had compromised on her and An Ji’s matter, this visit to Beiyuan Country, her father’s gaze at An Ji could clearly kill.
And now, they were drinking together.
She stayed silent, quietly listening to their conversation from the side.
"Youyou grew up with me, anything she liked, I fulfilled, never disappointing her once, including painfully marrying her to you." Xiao Jinxing’s voice was somewhat low.
Or perhaps because of the overindulgence in alcohol, there was some confusion in his voice.
An Youyou seldom heard her father speak such sentimental and emotional words, she always felt he was reserved, only speaking sweetly to her mother in private...
"Thank you, Father-in-law, for fulfilling me and Youyou." An Ji’s tone also seemed a bit unclear.
Who knew how much both had drunk.
At this moment, even the addressing had boldly changed.
"Rest assured, Father-in-law, I will take good care of Youyou, and I will not let her suffer any harm. In the future, when you can’t be by Youyou’s side, I will replace you and continue to give Youyou the love of a daughter..."
"You cannot replace me." Xiao Jinxing’s tone was firm.
Confidently asserting that in An Youyou’s heart, no one could replace him.
He was clearly showing off.
At that moment, An Youyou’s eyes suddenly reddened.
Her father’s confidence came from the depth of his love for her.
"I will do everything in my power to treat Youyou well!" An Ji promised again.
"It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that I can’t bear it!" Xiao Jinxing said, taking another sip of wine, "When you have a daughter, you’ll understand my feelings at this moment."
"Father-in-law, drink less..."
"My precious cabbage is about to be taken away, and I’m not allowed to drink a few more cups."
"...I’ll accompany you." An Ji hurriedly filled his own cup and toasted Xiao Jinxing.
An Youyou quietly left.
She had always worried that her parents would regret marrying her to An Ji...
Suddenly, she realized she was too petty.
Compared to her parents’ love for her, her love for them was trivial.
An Youyou walked into her mother’s bedchamber.
"Back... Youyou?" An Ning looked at An Youyou, a bit surprised.
She thought it was Xiao Jinxing returning.
He said he would go for a stroll in the Imperial Palace alone tonight.
An Ning didn’t expose him.
After all, leaving Beiyuan Country this time, the next would be bringing Youyou over for marriage; naturally, Xiao Jinxing wasn’t at ease and had to go and explain things to An Ji, she understood his feelings as a father.
"Why are you here?" An Ning asked.
"Boo hoo..." An Youyou suddenly hugged her mother, burying her face in An Ning’s chest, and started crying uncontrollably.
"What’s wrong? What happened?" An Ning asked with concern.
An Youyou wasn’t a girl who cried easily.
Sometimes she would even pretend to be strong.
Now she cried so hard, gasping for breath, anyone would have thought she was mourning...
An Youyou clung to An Ning and cried for quite a while before sniffling and saying, "Mother, why do you have such a wonderful husband."
"..." What does having a good husband have to do with her?!
Jealousy somewhat, perhaps?!
"Did An Ji bully you?" An Youyou raised her eyebrows.
"No." An Youyou quickly shook her head.
An Ning also thought, An Ji wouldn’t dare.
