Chapter 913 - Holding A Wedding (2/2)

As she finished speaking, the entire dining table became silent. Old Master Zhou, Master Zhou, and Madam Zhou all raised their heads up to look at her.

They were all suddenly looking over at her, and Han Xuan froze.

Old Master Zhou slammed the bowl and chopsticks that he was holding onto the table. His expression was serious as he said, “Fooling around! Zhou Yao is a soldier. He has to be on call 24 hours a day. He is also not on leave right now. Even if you are going to hold a wedding, he also needs to report for approval from management. Did you think that these matters are something that you can decide? The important matters of the country and your personal wedding, don’t you know which one takes larger priority?”

Old Master Zhou’s cloudy eyes were sharp as he stared at Han Xuan.

Han Xuan’s face turned pale as she said, “I…”

“I am not eating. You guys can eat by yourselves!” Old Master Zhou stood up and shook his sleeves as he headed out of the dining room, then went upstairs to go back inside his own room.

“Dad, you should calm down. Someone come over. Boil a bowl of plain porridge for Old Master Zhou.” As he spoke Master Zhou stood up and said, “You all can eat slowly. I will go check on Dad.”

Master Zhou also left.

Two people had suddenly left the dining room, and even the helpers felt that there was a nervous energy around the table and did not dare to go out. Han Xuan’s left hand that was drooped on her kneecaps was tightly clenched into a fist. The important matters of the country… They said it so nicely, but based on how she saw it, they did not want to give her a wedding!

Madam Zhou chewed on a mouthful of rice, and she had a tightly knitted frown on her face before saying, “Han Xuan, let’s talk about holding a wedding later on. Our family has yet to prepare ourselves for it.”

Han Xuan closed her eyes and controlled the anger inside her heart. Her voice was soft as she said, “But Mum, if we do not hold a wedding, others will gossip about us. Older Brother Zhou is a soldier…”

“Hah!” Madam Zhou scoffed out loud, and she raised her head up to look at Han Xuan and said, “If you are really afraid of others gossiping, it would be great then. Zhou Yao is a soldier. What other soldier has gotten married twice? I am afraid that all of T City is gossiping about our family right now.”

As she spoke, Madam Zhou put her chopsticks down and said, “I am full. I must go.”

Madam Zhou also left the dining room.

Only the two of them were left. A helper served a bowl of hot soup, and when the helper noticed that everyone had already left, she carefully glanced over at Han Xuan.

Han Xuan saw the helper.
