Chapter 1007: Chapter 596: The Most Hardcore Logic, A Grand Matchmaking Event (Part 2)

...

There were some games set up by the bridesmaids afterward, all of which were familiar to everyone, and there wasn’t anything particularly difficult about them.

"Ranran, take a break. Leave the rest to your brother; you’ve worked hard." Some of them patted Huo Ran on the shoulder, signaling him to go to the back.

The hardest part was over; now playing the good guy.

Things went smoothly after that, with everyone finally making a fuss about Huo Qinqi kissing the bride, to which he gladly obliged.

Later on, Shen Shuci asked him why he was so obedient at that moment and really kissed her.

Huo Qinqi replied, as straightforward as ever:

"Because I really wanted to kiss you at that moment."

Everyone left the room noisily. The newlyweds served tea to the elders of the Shen Family, who had prepared generous red envelopes.

Once Shen Shuci got into the car, the convoy drove around most of Beijing before finally heading to the Huo Family.

Huo Zheng and his wife were waiting early, prepared for the tea ceremony and title change, and gave red envelopes. Liang Yun’s eyes were slightly red as she finally received the daughter-in-law tea.

By evening, everyone gradually arrived at the hotel where the wedding banquet was held.

Shen Shuci was busy changing clothes and remained backstage, while members of the Huo Family and the elders of the Shen Family were busy greeting guests.

Tang Wan was initially chatting with someone when she caught sight of a familiar figure entering the hall out of the corner of her eye and immediately got up to greet him, "Master... didn’t you say you might not be able to make it?"

The person was none other than Tang Wan’s master—Xi Fangli.

He was holding a toddler, his grandson.

"The weather’s been bad recently, flights keep getting canceled or delayed, so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to make it." Xi Fangli smiled, patting his grandson on the head, "Call your auntie."

"Aun—tie, aun." Xi Fangli’s little grandson, still not very articulate.

Living abroad for a long time, there was a bit of a foreign accent.

"Good boy." She and Xi Fangli’s son address each other as fellow disciples, so calling her auntie was natural.

"There—there’s... a baby." The little guy pointed at Tang Wan’s belly, then touched his own round belly.

"Yes, Auntie has a baby here. You know a lot." Xi Fangli’s little grandson was fair-skinned, looking like a cute, chubby rice ball, very endearing.

"It’s not that he knows a lot; it’s my daughter-in-law, she’s expecting again..." Xi Fangli laughed so heartily that he couldn’t shut his mouth, "That’s why the couple didn’t come."

"Sister-in-law is pregnant again?" Tang Wan was surprised.

"Yes, just over a month now, hasn’t been announced yet."

"Congratulations, Master."

"Your senior brother has always been at odds with me since he was young. I always thought he was useless, but now it seems he’s quite useful, haha—" Xi Fangli laughed heartily at the family’s joyous occasion.

Since they had just gotten off the plane, Xi Family’s little grandson was a bit hungry, so Tang Wan brought him some cake and cookies. The little guy seemed to think that following Tang Wan meant good food and stuck to her the whole time.

"Don’t cling to your auntie, she’ll get tired." Xi Fangli frowned, smiling at Tang Wan, "Actually, this child is usually not clingy at all, doesn’t get close to strangers; seems like he really likes you."

Tang Wan and Xi Family’s little grandson had hardly ever met, so saying they were strangers wasn’t far off.

"Since he likes me, I’ll take care of him tonight."

Xi Family’s little grandson ate while staring at Tang Wan’s belly intently. Tang Wan held his hand, patting it twice. Maybe the baby kicked twice, which scared the little guy into a pale face.

"Oh? Oh—oh oh..." His eyes widened as if he were shocked.

Pointing at Tang Wan’s belly, he could only say oh oh ah ah.

Tang Wan laughed out loud, thinking the child was too adorable.

Only Jiang Jinsang sat nearby, observing coldly.

Even a little kid’s touch can cause fetal movement, so why can’t he?

Jiangjiang and Taotao had also come over, maybe thinking Xi Family’s little grandson was too young to communicate, played with him for a while, and then handed him back to Tang Wan.

With no one to play with him, the little guy didn’t mind, quietly sitting beside Tang Wan, holding a biscuit, slowly nibbling.

...

Soon, guests started entering one after another, and since the turnout exceeded expectations, four or five additional tables were set up.

There weren’t many kin and friends on the Shen side; it was mostly Huo family’s relatives and friends, most of whom were straightforward people, and some who were used to training people, hence spoke loudly, making the banquet hall lively.

Qi Zeyan had just escorted the old man from the door to the hall, greeted acquaintances, when Liang Yun approached.

"Uncle Qi, thank you for coming today." Liang Yun called the old man Uncle, which was perfectly normal.
