Ye Tianchen announced he was getting married, and the bride was Liu Rumei. This was a great joy for Ye Tianchen’s parents and the entire Ye family because, in Ye Tianchen’s parents’ hearts, Liu Rumei had long been their ideal choice for a daughter-in-law!

However, what made Ye Tianchen a bit amused was that it seemed Liu Rumei hadn’t even married into the Ye family yet, but his parents, including his sister who always sided with outsiders, were already on Liu Rumei’s side. Would Ye Tianchen still have any status after getting along with them in the future?

In this situation, Ye Tianchen threw the challenge to the nearby Liu Fei, making the originally cheerful Liu Fei suddenly look crestfallen, unsure of how to respond!

"This... this..." Liu Fei stammered, unable to speak for quite some time.

"What’s with the hesitation, kid? Don’t you want to side with me?" Ye Tianchen asked with a deliberately threatening smile.

"Brother-in-law, about this..." Liu Fei had not finished his sentence when Liu Rumei interrupted him.

"Fei, you better think it over. Think about the consequences of not siding with your big sister..." Liu Rumei said in a playfully threatening tone to Liu Fei.

The person who found the situation most amusing and frustrating now was Liu Fei. Originally, Liu Fei was gleefully watching Ye Tianchen’s embarrassment from the sidelines, but with Ye Tianchen’s words, Liu Fei found himself in a difficult position.

Clearly, if Liu Fei said he sided with his sister Liu Rumei, he would offend Ye Tianchen, his brother-in-law. If they became estranged, how would his future days go? Would he and Qianwen succeed together? But if Liu Fei said he sided with Ye Tianchen, he would undoubtedly offend his sister Liu Rumei and be seen as betraying his own. Besides, with the close friendship Liu Rumei and Ye Qianwen shared over these years, without Liu Rumei’s support, Liu Fei would have a hard time winning over Ye Qianwen!

"This... this... I don’t know!" Liu Fei said with a long face.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Liu Fei and said with a mischievous smile, "Aren’t you known for being articulate? Now you can’t even handle this little matter, how can I entrust my sister to you?"

"This... brother-in-law, you’re putting me in a tough spot! What should I do!" Liu Fei said, looking extremely frustrated.

"Hey, you’re threatening my brother. Besides, Qianwen’s relationship is her own choice, no one can decide it for her!" Liu Rumei said playfully, looking at Ye Tianchen.

"That’s true. Our family has always been very democratic, deciding our own matters. But, if my brother-in-law doesn’t get along well with me, well, I might have to do something bad!" Ye Tianchen said with a mischievous smile.

"Ah? Brother-in-law, I... I... fine, since you’re all putting me in a difficult position, my choice is... wherever Qianwen stands, I’ll stand there too!" Liu Fei said through gritted teeth.

"Hahaha, good brother, that’s the right choice, that’s my dear brother!" Liu Rumei said with a proud laugh.

Ye Tianchen shook his head in frustration, unable to handle this group. They were simply too formidable. Liu Rumei hadn’t even married into the Ye family yet, and already Ye Tianchen felt isolated. How would he manage in the future!

Of course, this was all just everyone joking around, adding a bit of spice to life. Seeing the whole family so happy and joyful, Ye Tianchen felt reassured that he had made the right choice. It was time to get married. No matter what, Ye Tianchen knew it was time for him to marry, and it was a matter of great happiness for him and his family and friends.

This meal was the happiest meal Ye Tianchen felt the family had ever shared, especially for Ye Tianchen’s parents. After such a near-death experience, they were even more eager to see their children get married, have children, and carry on the family line!

"Alright, young man, this should have been brought up by you first. After all, you’re the guy, take Rumei out for a walk!" Luo Yan said affectionately, looking at Ye Tianchen with a smile.

"Um, about the wedding..." Ye Tianchen actually didn’t understand much about mortal world weddings, so he spoke up.

"Don’t worry, leave the rest to your mother and me, we’ll definitely make it a grand affair." Ye Hong also said with a smile.

"Wait, uncle, aunt, I have one small request..." Liu Rumei suddenly said playfully, looking at Ye Tianchen with a smile.

"What request?" Ye Hong asked.

"Rumei, if you have any requests, just feel free to ask. You’ve done so much for the Ye family over the years. Whatever your request, as long as the Ye family can manage it, we’ll definitely meet your expectations!" Luo Yan said cheerfully.

Liu Rumei glanced at Ye Tianchen, chuckling as she said, "This matter only concerns Tianchen!"

"Only concerns me? What matter?" Ye Tianchen asked, puzzled.

"For my wedding, I don’t ask for any pomp or dowries, no gold or silver jewelry. I only have one request: you must propose to me!" Liu Rumei looked at Ye Tianchen playfully as she spoke.

"Propose? Uh... what do you mean by propose? How do I propose?" Ye Tianchen asked, somewhat bewildered.

"I don’t care, that’s your business. In any case, I must be satisfied with your proposal, or I won’t get married!" Liu Rumei said with an adorable yet mischievous look.

Ye Tianchen was dumbfounded; he truly hadn’t expected Liu Rumei to make such a request. Propose? That word had never crossed his mind before. That Liu Rumei would ask this was something Ye Tianchen had never imagined. Propose? How should he do it? This was indeed a major dilemma placed in front of Ye Tianchen!

Watching Liu Rumei exit the dining room, Ye Tianchen hurried after her, lamenting, "I say, can we skip the proposal? I’ve never done anything like that before!"

"It’s not like you’ve been married before, how could you have proposal experience? Lots of people haven’t proposed. You’ll have to figure it out yourself!" Liu Rumei rolled her eyes at Ye Tianchen.

"You’re really putting me in a difficult spot. If you wanted anything else, I could find it, but asking for a proposal ceremony, this..." Ye Tianchen was so frustrated he couldn’t even speak. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Well, I don’t care. Without a proposal ceremony that satisfies me, I simply won’t marry you. Just a reminder: Uncle and Auntie are in high spirits right now, so don’t upset them!" Liu Rumei said with a wicked smile.

"Hey, this is a blatant threat! You can’t play like that!" Ye Tianchen shouted at Liu Rumei’s departing figure.

Liu Rumei walked off nonchalantly, while Ye Tianchen stood alone at the entrance of the Ye family’s dining room, feeling exasperated. He originally thought the matter of marriage wouldn’t be too troublesome to settle. The wedding would be organized by his parents, and Liu Rumei loved him. He only needed to put on a dashing suit and greet everyone with a smile on the wedding day. Who knew, Liu Rumei still wanted him to propose—and it had to be a proposal that satisfied her. What now?

Alas, facing Liu Rumei’s maneuver, Ye Tianchen felt helpless. Liu Rumei was not a simple woman; she was extremely clever. Her move targeted Ye Tianchen’s vulnerability, knowing he was a filial person. Seeing his parents so happy, he would definitely choose to marry. Saying he wasn’t getting married now might literally anger Ye Hong and Luo Yan to death.

"Brother, why are you standing here? Did Sister Rumei go to the company?" Ye Qianwen stepped out of the dining room and asked upon seeing her brother Ye Tianchen standing still.

"Don’t mention it. Liu Rumei wants a satisfying proposal ceremony, what am I supposed to do?" Ye Tianchen asked, frustrated.

"This matter, brother, I can’t help you with it. You’ll have to think of something yourself, or Sister Rumei will definitely be unhappy!" Ye Qianwen shook her head.

"Never expected this move. Sigh, might as well get scolded by the parents to death and not get married!" Ye Tianchen sighed.

"Brother, you can’t do that. Didn’t you see how happy Mom and Dad are to hear you’re getting married? If you say you’re not getting married now, they’ll definitely get upset. Besides, Sister Rumei loves you dearly. For a woman to have just one request, you should count yourself lucky. When I get married, humph, there will be many demands!" Ye Qianwen chuckled.

"Qianwen, can you reduce your demands a bit?" Liu Fei said meekly from behind Ye Qianwen.

"Get out of my way!" Ye Qianwen rolled her eyes at Liu Fei and walked ahead. Liu Fei grinned at Ye Tianchen and hastily followed.

Ye Tianchen sighed exasperatedly. He was well aware of the truth in Ye Qianwen’s words. Toward Liu Rumei, he indeed felt both guilt and gratitude. Of course, he didn’t have a bad impression of this woman; she was a peerless beauty. As for marrying Liu Rumei, psychologically, Ye Tianchen could accept it. Now the difficulty lay in Liu Rumei’s demand for a satisfying proposal ceremony. How could he manage that?

"I just can’t understand this woman. She doesn’t have high requirements for the wedding, hardly any demands at all. So why does she insist on a satisfying proposal ceremony? What to do?" Ye Tianchen muttered to himself in frustration as he turned and walked toward his residence.

Ye Tianchen was getting married. Such a situation, such an event was something everyone anticipated, something everyone wanted to see. So, could the wedding of Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei proceed smoothly? What scene would it be? (To be continued.
