CHAPTER 383
"It is. You do not need many things from us, the couple to be wedded. Just measurements and a few choices you might want to ask us about. It will not be so tasking, right my love?"
"I guess so. Also, since Xiaojin's graduation is something the school holds, we can make time for that in between our schedules," Bai Renxiang thought out loud.
"Yes, we can."
"Yes," Bai Xiaojin jumped in excitement.
"So, when will be the wedding?" Bai Renxiang asked the pending question.
"Next month," Mrs Li answered. "You don't have to worry about anything, I will have the best event planner and manpower to get everything ready and safe," she winked at them.
"I think I have an event planner in mind," Bai Renxiang said.
"Who?" Everyone looked at her.
"Mrs Gu," she smiled.
"Mingzhe's mummy?" Bai Xiaojin asked.
"Yes, dear. From what I have come across in magazines, all events she has planned have received nothing but praises and good reviews."
"Alright, that settles that. And for the last most bugging question... Where or rather in which City do you want the wedding to be held?" Mrs Li asked.
"Anywhere my soon-to-be wife so desires," Li Fengjin said.
"Renxiang honey, it is up to you now."
Bai Renxiang inhaled deeply and exhaled softly. Her grip on the hot mug cup tightened as she thought. The whole crisis thing had occupied her mind to even grant this a thought.
Button be honest, she really wanted her wedding to be here, in City S. All her good memories and a new life started here. Also, most of her friends... In fact all of her very good friends stayed here.
Although Yi Changying, Yang Chen and Ye Chaoxiang did not live here, she knew that they would definitely be okay with it. Not even that, she was kind of established here. Her good roots start from here, with her grandpa Jiang.
Then lastly, share wanted to get married in a place that was not filled with only memories of distrusting father and ex, fake friends and troublesome stepmother and sister.
City X was nothing but a bad part of her life that she did not want to include in her marriage. Even if she could not totally forget it as she would surely go back there with Li Fengjin. She did not want such a beautiful day of her life to be held in a place that held nothing but evil for her.
So she concluded. "I have decided... Our wedding will be held here in this city."
"Are you sure?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Yes. I am very sure. A hundred per cent sure," she nodded.
"Then so be it. The union between my son, Li Fengjin and you, Bai Renxiang will be at City A. I shall inform your mother and Mr Jiang about this," Mrs Li said.
"It is decided then. You are legally going to become my Mrs Li in a month. The one and only," Li Fengjin's words made Bai Renxiang blush.
"Thank you, mum."
"For what?"
"Well... For everything," Bai Renxiang said.
Mrs Li smiles at her, "I should be the one thanking you for giving me a wonderful grandson and loving my son."
"Say, sweetheart, don't you think we should reward my wife for all these things?" Li Fengjin asked with a smug expression.
"Daddy is right. We should give mummy a reward," Bai Xiaojin agreed without even knowing what he was pushing his mother into.
"Yes. I think so too. Don't worry. Zhe and I will think of a good reward for our precious daughter-in-law
'One that would be better than the cheque we gave three years ago,' Mrs Li thought.
Bai Renxiang's face paled. Her eyes trailed to her side where Li Fengjin sat. She thought he had already forgotten about it.
But that was not the case. He was even making sure that Mrs Li and Bai Xiaojin were unknowingly backing him up to 'reward' her. They had no idea that Like Fengjin had a secret plan for her.
"While the both of you are thinking of what to give her, mine has already been prepared. I am just waiting for the right time," Li Fengjin grinned.
"Daddy, what are you going to give mummy?" Bai Xiaojin asked.
"It is a secret," Li Fengjin winked.
"Ah! Well, I... I don't need a reward. I mean, you allowed me to be with your son too. So, there is no need for that. As for, Xiaojin... I was not the only one who did all the work..."
Bai Renxiang rambled on.
She did not notice the mischievous smile that had made its way to Li Fengjin's face. Even Mrs Li was taken aback by what she heard. But Bai Renxiang knew nothing.
Instead, she was so focussed on finding a way to change their minds about the reward, especially Li Fengjin's. She could not even begin to phantom the embarrassment she will feel later tonight.
"Renxiang honey, calm down," Mrs Li had to interrupt her.
"I am calm," Bai Renxiang said.
"So you are calmly saying that you and I worked together to get Xiaojin?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Yes. Of course, we dis. I–"
Bai Renxiang's words were held in her mouth when she saw the devilish smile on Li Fengjin's face. Then she thought back to all that she has said and reasoned them out. Her eyes widened when she realised what he was pointing out.
"I am going to make dinner," she dashed out of the living room to the kitchen.
Before she left, Mrs Li could see how red Bai Renxiang's face had gotten. It made her smile but wonder why. It was until she heard her son's mischievous laughter did she realize the whole situation.
"Stop teasing that child. Don't be like your father," Mrs Li scolded him. "She can't handle you. Look how red she got."
"Oh, relax sweetheart. She's the only one who can handle me."
