At Ling Ruonan’s wedding, so many big shots are coming. If some things were revealed right on the spot, how big of an impact would that have?
Luo Ziling could figure it out with his toes.
"That’s a good idea!" Luo Ziling said with a smile, "When I host later, I’ll find an opportunity to tell everyone about it, let everyone get a bit excited."
"We’ll see how it goes!" Ling Ruonan said calmly.
Luo Ziling nodded.
Then, Wuyue reported some other things.
Wuyue was very astute as well; she didn’t report anything that could spoil the mood to Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling.
In fact, there wasn’t much to feel uncomfortable about, nothing major happened these past two days.
In the evening, Luo Xusheng, the groom-to-be, finally returned.
Seeing the newly decorated house, Luo Xusheng seemed a bit uneasy. This was Ling Ruonan’s house, and although neither of them minded, using Ling Ruonan’s villa as the marital home made him feel a bit embarrassed as a man.
As he walked into the house and saw Xie Enhua and Wu Yanning directing others to set up the new home, he appeared somewhat lacking in confidence.
In the end, he shamelessly accompanied Xie Enhua to discuss things.
Towards evening, Luo Ziling’s activities also increased.
Seeing Luo Xusheng finally back, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, Mom, I’ll go greet some guests who came from afar. You handle the things at home!" Luo Ziling didn’t have dinner before he was ready to leave.
Many people had come for Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan’s wedding, including some from out of town. Naturally, Luo Ziling had to step up to entertain these guests.
Luo Liansheng also assisted in greeting some guests.
Some people came for Luo Xusheng’s sake to enjoy the wedding feast, but those people were unfamiliar to Luo Ziling, so naturally, Luo Liansheng handled them.
Luo Liansheng returned once at noon, discussing some matters with Xie Enhua, the in-law, and after talking with Ling Ruonan, he also went out. In the evening, he returned to have dinner with those helping out.
When Luo Ziling was about to leave, he coincidentally returned.
After talking with Luo Liansheng for a bit, Luo Ziling left.
Yang Qingyin was staying here and decided to spend the night, so they could communicate at any time if needed.
As Luo Ziling walked out of the yard, Yang Qingyin chased after him.
"My mom called and said Qingye will also come tomorrow. He can get up now!" Yang Qingyin whispered to Luo Ziling, "I just hope that when they arrive, they won’t cause any trouble!"
"Your grandfather cares about face; he will surely restrain your dad and brother. Your dad is also a man of status; he shouldn’t lose his cool tomorrow!" Luo Ziling reassured Yang Qingyin.
Luo Ziling told Yang Qingyin that he was going to entertain guests and wouldn’t be dining with them this evening.
He definitely planned to return tonight so they could discuss the hosting arrangements for tomorrow.
This remark earned him an eye roll from Yang Qingyin.
Xu Chen, Ding Zhongming, and Wu Jianjun, some southern officials connected with Luo Ziling, came together to Yanjing to attend Ling Ruonan’s wedding.
Actually, Luo Ziling only informed Xu Chen about his parents getting married but didn’t invite her to the wedding.
Xu Chen offered to come to Yanjing for the wedding herself, and she invited Ding Zhongming and Wu Jiandong to join her.
After Ding Zhongming and Wu Jiandong learned about Ling Ruonan and Luo Xusheng’s wedding, they naturally wanted to come and congratulate them.
The three treated attending the wedding in Yanjing as a major life event and planned ahead of time.
Thankfully, no unforeseen events occurred, so they all managed to travel smoothly.
With modern transportation, they left Qiantang in the afternoon and arrived in Yanjing by evening.
Luo Ziling visited them at their hotel.
He had booked the hotel for them as part of his duties as the wedding host.
Luo Ziling treated the three to a simple meal, expressing his gratitude for their long journey to attend the wedding.
Ling Ruonan’s wedding was to take place tomorrow evening, so they could have come by tomorrow afternoon and still made it.
However, the three decided to arrive a day early.
The purpose of coming a day early was, of course, to have the chance to privately interact with Luo Ziling or Ling Ruonan.
If they arrived directly at the wedding site tomorrow, there wouldn’t be any chance for face-to-face interaction.
During dinner, they didn’t discuss anything important.
After the meal, Xu Chen first called Luo Ziling to her room.
The apparent purpose for having Luo Ziling in her room was to check if the gifts she had chosen were appropriate.
Ding Zhongming and Wu Jiandong understood but didn’t point it out.
Once in the room, Luo Ziling jokingly complimented the well-dressed Xu Chen, "Sister Xu, you’re dressed so beautifully today. Are you planning to outshine my mom at the wedding?"
"How could I dare? No matter how thick-skinned I am, I wouldn’t dare compete with your mom’s beauty!" Xu Chen walked over to Luo Ziling, smiling coyly at him, "But, dressing up beautifully might at least make a handsome youth like you glance at me a few more times, right?"
As she spoke, Xu Chen deliberately puffed out her chest and tugged at her clothes, "Does this give me a bit of feminine charm?"
"Don’t seduce me; if you dare to seduce me and I can’t resist doing something beastly, don’t blame me!"
Seeing Luo Ziling with a mock serious expression, Xu Chen giggled, leaning against Luo Ziling’s arm, and said enchantingly, "If you treat sister that way, sister certainly wouldn’t refuse!"
Luo Ziling smiled without saying a word, looking down at Xu Chen.
Xu Chen linked her arm with Luo Ziling’s, rubbing her full bosom against him, continuing with a charming smile, "Although I’m not skilled in doing such things, women are naturally good at seducing men. Unfortunately, Mr. Luo, being surrounded by young and pretty girls in their prime, won’t look at the likes of me, worn out by time. I can only dream of receiving Mr. Luo’s favor."
Luo Ziling pinched Xu Chen’s cheek, gently freeing his hand, "How’s the task I gave you coming along?"
"It’s in progress!" Xu Chen put away her coquettish smile, poured tea for Luo Ziling, and as she handed him the teacup, whispered, "Zhu Hanjun still has his guard up, so it can’t be rushed. But rest assured, Mr. Luo, I’ll definitely take him down, clearing a spot for your mother."
"That’s good!" Luo Ziling believed Xu Chen must be confident to say so; otherwise, if things didn’t work out, her future would be ruined, "If that position can be vacated after the New Year, my mom should be able to step in. And you can become an assistant around my mom or take on another role. From now on, you’re with my mom!"
"I’m willing to entrust my body, soul, and future to you, Mr. Luo!" Xu Chen straightened up and answered earnestly, "I’ll follow your every command, Mr. Luo!"
