Chapter 270 Our Wedding Postponed
The family sat around the dining table, enjoying this rare time together.
The dinner table was laden with delicious dishes, their aroma filling the air.
The seven children, Qibao, Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao, chattered away, serving each other food and sharing their funny stories from school.
They were already very familiar with Tan Xiangchen, sometimes holding his hand, sometimes snuggling into his arms, showing great dependence on their grandfather.
After the meal, Grandma Tan smiled and said to Tan Xiangchen, "Xiangchen, come with me to the study, let's have a chat."
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed across Li Yuzhu's face. She hesitated, her eyes revealing unease.
Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue were playing games with Qibao, Dabao and the other children when they looked up and saw the worried look on Li Yuzhu's face.
Su Yingxue stopped what she was doing, walked to Li Yuzhu's side, gently took her hand, and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. Grandma just wants to chat with Tan Xiangchen, she won't scold him."
Li Yuzhu nodded slightly, but her eyes were still full of worry. She said, "Yingxue, I know. When Xiang Chen and I were together, his family never accepted us. We went through so much hardship to get to where we are today. It's been such a difficult journey. I'm afraid that now that we're finally having some good days, something bad might happen again."
Su Yingxue nodded understandingly, squeezed her hand and said, "Mom, what happened before is in the past. Now that Tan Xiangchen is back, the whole family has accepted you, and things will definitely get better and better from now on."
Li Yuzhu took a deep breath and said softly, "Sometimes I have this illusion that Xiang Chen has never really come back. It's all like a beautiful dream, and maybe one day this dream will end."
Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu walked down the stairs hand in hand.
They first went to the rooms of Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, and Liu Bao. As soon as they opened the door, the children were sitting obediently on the edge of the bed, their eyes lighting up when they saw their parents come in.
"Mom and Dad, you're here!" Da Bao said happily.
Su Yingxue walked to the bedside, patted Da Bao's head, and asked gently, "Babies, how are you feeling today? Is anything bothering you?"
Erbao blinked her big eyes and answered in her childish voice, "Mommy, we're all fine, we don't feel uncomfortable."
Tan Zhengchu stood to the side, smiling as he looked at the children, and said, "That's good. If anything happens, be sure to tell your parents immediately."
The children nodded in agreement. After chatting with the children for a while and confirming that they were all alright, Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu finally felt relieved and left the room.
As the two went downstairs, they saw Qibao playing house with Sibao and Wubao. Qibao was wearing a pretty little dress, dressed as a princess, and was having a great time, her laughter echoing throughout the living room.
Su Yingxue frowned and said with some worry, "Honey, look at Qibao, he's so playful. What if he doesn't want to learn anything and just wants to play in the future?"
Tan Zhengchu put his arm around Su Yingxue's shoulder and said softly, "Wife, our daughter is still young. Let her play. I don't have any other requirements for her, as long as she is happy every day."
Su Yingxue lowered her head slightly and said thoughtfully, "What you said seems to make sense, but I'm just worried that she won't be ambitious when she grows up."
Tan Zhengchu gently patted Su Yingxue's back and comforted her, "Wife, our daughter is so smart and cute. She'll definitely be extraordinary when she grows up. Don't worry."
Su Yingxue was still somewhat downcast after hearing Tan Zhengchu's words. Tan Zhengchu looked at her and suggested softly, "Wife, Yang Xinyi, A Qian, and Chu Qing'er invited us out for a get-together tonight. Shall we go together?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, of course I'll go."
Tan Zhengchu was secretly delighted. He knew that Su Yingxue would definitely be willing to go if she heard that Chu Qing'er and Yang Xinyi were there, which would also help her relax.
Tan Zhengchu was driving, and Su Yingxue was sitting in the passenger seat, looking out the window with a smile on her face, looking extremely happy.
Tan Zhengchu freed one hand and reached out to hold Su Yingxue's small hand in his. Su Yingxue looked at where their fingers were intertwined, then smiled sweetly.
After a while, Su Yingxue suddenly said, "Honey, why don't we have the wedding together with Mom and Dad? I think it would be more meaningful that way."
Tan Zhengchu frowned slightly upon hearing the suggestion and said, "Wife, I'm afraid my parents will feel awkward. After all, it's not very honorable for the father and son to have their weddings together. It wouldn't be good if the guests asked about it."
Su Yingxue thought about it and felt that Tan Zhengchu made a good point, so she said, "Yes, you're right. Let's postpone our wedding then."
The couple decided to postpone their wedding. After all, they had already had a wedding on Seine Island, and they were both certain of each other's feelings, so they weren't in a rush.
Tan Zhengchu smiled and said, "Wife, I'll do whatever you say. You can do it whenever you want."
Su Yingxue smiled and leaned her head on Tan Zhengchu's shoulder, jokingly saying, "If other people knew that Tan Zhengchu listens to his wife so much, wouldn't they be shocked? But it feels pretty good. You always accommodate me, which makes me feel cared for."
Tan Zhengchu drove intently, his face calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by her teasing.
But Su Yingxue secretly glanced at him. She knew in her heart that although Tan Zhengchu didn't say it, he still needed to save face in front of his subordinates.
She smiled, feeling incredibly warm inside.
……
In the evening, Su Yingxue had a pleasant gathering with Yang Xinyi, Chu Qing'er, and A Qian.
They hadn't gotten together for a while, and they were very happy to see each other.
Laughter filled the air, and Su Yingxue's initially gloomy mood gradually brightened.
However, on the way home, Tan Zhengchu held Su Yingxue tightly. He keenly noticed that Su Yingxue remained silent the whole time.
His brow furrowed slightly, and he wondered if Yingxue still had something on her mind.
"Yingxue, do you have any thoughts about the party?" Tan Zhengchu asked softly.
Su Yingxue then snapped out of her thoughts.
She looked at Tan Zhengchu and said slowly, "Qing'er and the others have encountered some things recently and are feeling quite down. They are very conflicted. Tonight at the gathering, A Qian and Qing'er both brought up that they don't want to get married and just want to live happily."
