Chapter 1496 - Great to Have You (56) (2/2)
There was endless chatter at the dining table during breakfast the following morning. However, a deafening silence filled the room the moment Long Xiaoxi spoke.
“I want to get married,” she said.
Long Tianze and Mei Yangyang looked at each other in shock. “Married? To whom? Minhe?”
Clad in a black, collared sweater, she said with a straight face, “Yes. There’s nothing much for me to consider when it comes to Brother Minhe. He’ll treat me very well. We watched a movie together last night and it was very enjoyable. Even though we haven’t met each other in a long time, we don’t feel awkward with each other at all. I think he’s the best choice there is out there. I want to start living life properly. I’ve never had a boyfriend before when I was abroad because I was too afraid. Father, Mother, will you guys agree?”
Mei Yangyang said, “Your father and I will have no objections as long as you’re happy. Xiaoxi, marriage is a serious matter that concerns your lifelong happiness. I hope you won’t act rashly and think carefully before you make a decision. We know that Minhe is a good kid, but your father and I are honestly rather taken aback by your decision to get married right after you just came back from abroad.”
She believed that her daughter truly wanted to get married and wasn’t acting rashly. Hence, she and Long Tianze would support her decision. They’d already had enough of living away from her.
“Daddy, Mommy, I’m already 23 years old. I’m no longer a child. I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. Regardless of how insensible I may have been in the past, I’ve thought about it carefully. I was unfilial in the past and I’ve decided to accompany you guys for the rest of my life to make up for the time lost. I want to settle down and build a family of my own. I want to work a job that I like. I’ll have no other requests as long as you’re both healthy.”
Long Wenlun said, “Xiaoxi, have you… really thought about it?”
“Of course. Why would I tell you guys if I haven’t?”
“I support your decision too, then. Father, say something.”
Long Tianze said, “Daughter, what matters is you’re happy.”
Long Xiaoxi grinned and said, “I knew you loved me the most, Daddy. It’s my blessing to be able to reincarnate as your daughter.”
Long Wenlun spread the news in the group chat with his friends.
“Special Announcement: Xiaoxi is getting married, get your red packets ready!”
Ji Gui was flabbergasted and replied almost instantly.
“What!?! So soon!?! With whom!?! Is it really Minhe?”
Long Wenlun replied, “Duh. It’s been confirmed. My parents have agreed too.”
“Xiaoxi is so quick to get married.”
“Of course, you can’t deny it.”
…
They continued to mock each other in the group chat. However, they were the only ones talking even though there were four people in the group chat.
Jin Rongyan did not join in because he was busy treating patients in the hospital and thus could not check his mobile phone. Jin Yiheng did not reply because he was staring blankly at his screen…
He knew that Long Wenlun was not joking. Hence, he was at a loss for words. He simply could not bring himself to congratulate her.
Her words were still ringing in his ear.
She used to be young and ignorant?
She used to be blinded by love?
She doesn’t have any more feelings for me?
He could not sleep well at all because of that.
He felt extremely guilty for what he had done to her. However, he always thought that he had probably only seen her as a younger sister. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have canceled the engagement.
