Chapter 233: Chapter 216: Marry Me Properly This Once
Su Xiaomeng blinked, not thinking this decoration was shabby at all... Then looked at Rong Qiao, who was wearing a platinum necklace on her neck, bracelets on her hands, and anklets on her wrists...
"Miss Rong’s house must be quite luxurious, our house certainly can’t compare."
Rong Qiao smiled, "Anyway, it’s not like Brother Shixiu’s taste..."
Su Xiaomeng felt a bit irritated hearing this, how would you know about Yin Shixiu’s taste!
"Haha, feel free to make yourselves at home."
Xiao Meng said, then turned around and swiftly slipped into the kitchen as if she had wheels on her feet.
This Rong Qiao’s way of speaking was really uncomfortable, but why did Ren Yixuan keep staring at her?
"Why did you run in here?"
Su’s mother saw Su Xiaomeng slipping in, couldn’t help but ask.
"To help you..."
Su’s mother didn’t say anything, but she was unhesitant to start directing this birthday star.
Su Xiaomeng mentioned to Su’s mother that her aunt bought very expensive clothes for Shuangshuang and Huanghuang...
"It’s okay, social interactions are like this. Your aunt’s family is genuinely good to you and thinks of you. In the future, if they need your help, you’ll help them, won’t you?"
"Mm, of course!"
"Then that’s fine."
After Su’s mother said this, Xiao Meng stopped dwelling about it.
Yin Shixiu was upstairs taking care of the babies. He heard the noisy sounds from downstairs but never went down. He looked at his watch, saw that it was about time, and then put Shuangshuang and Huanghuang back in their cribs.
He grabbed his car keys and headed downstairs.
He greeted the guests briefly and then went out the door.
As Su Xiaomeng was just bringing out the cold dishes, she saw Yin Shixiu heading out... But she didn’t ask, simply turned back into the kitchen and asked her mom, "Uncle went out... Where did he go?"
Su’s mother blinked, "Why are you asking me?"
"I feel like you’ve been getting close with Uncle lately, always being mysterious... You should know."
"Alright, he went out to buy soy sauce."
Su’s mother shrugged and casually replied.
"Mom... Aren’t you just brushing me off?"
"Look, the soy sauce at home is running low."
Su’s mother had a serious look on her face, shaking the half bottle of soy sauce...
Su Xiaomeng glanced at her, didn’t ask more, and continued busying herself with dinner.
By the time dinner started, Yin Shixiu hadn’t come back yet. Su Xiaomeng called Yin Shixiu...
"Where did you go? We’re already eating."
"Getting the cake, you guys eat first."
Yin Shixiu just replied with these few simple words, and Su Xiaomeng sighed.
Having two kids at the table made the atmosphere different.
When everyone raised their glasses to celebrate Xiao Meng’s birthday, Xiao Meng took a deep breath. Facing her twenty-one-year-old self, she really had a lot of feelings.
Emotions poured into the drink in her glass, becoming those bubbles that burst one after another.
At the latter part of dinner, they finally heard the sound of Yin Shixiu’s car.
Xiao Meng got up and went out, feeling quite annoyed!
Yin Shixiu got out of the car, and before the back door opened, Su Xiaomeng walked over, "What took you so long to get the cake! We’ve almost finished eating!"
"Didn’t save any for me?"
Su Xiaomeng didn’t expect that she was so angry, and yet Yin Shixiu was concerned about this!
"Why save food for you? Who leaves during a meal? Everyone has been waiting for you for quite a while in the house!"
Yin Shixiu wrapped his arm around Su Xiaomeng’s waist, "Wouldn’t you listen to your husband’s explanation first?"
"What’s there to explain? You just don’t want to celebrate my birthday!"
"Yeah, right, I won’t celebrate your birthdays anymore."
Su Xiaomeng’s face turned serious instantly, aging ten years in an instant, and she said in a steady voice, "Say that one more time."
Yin Shixiu leaned against the Bentley, holding her waist, letting her lean closer to him, "Did you forget... today is also our wedding anniversary."
Actually, Yin Shixiu felt quite frustrated inside; over the past few days, she’d been busy planning the birthday party, without mentioning anything about the wedding anniversary.
Initially, he thought she was doing it on purpose, but who knew...
She genuinely forgot.
Seeing her stunned expression at this moment, he felt even more...
"It’s not my fault!"
The little girl immediately felt guilty!
"So it’s my fault?"
"We just got the certificate, I don’t remember it well... Can you blame me for forgetting..."
Su Xiaomeng spoke honestly, and besides... It’s already been a year in the blink of an eye, it really flew by so quickly.
"Alright, I don’t blame you, and you don’t blame me, okay?"
"Traitor!"
"Want to see what the traitor brought back for you?"
"The cake... let’s see then."
Su Xiaomeng said, and Yin Shixiu opened the back door. There was indeed a delicate cake box, but beneath it was a larger gift box.
Yin Shixiu handed her the cake box and then took out the large gift box...
"Let’s go inside first."
Su Xiaomeng was just wearing a sweater, and the weather outside wasn’t exactly warm.
As she walked, she naturally grew curious about what was inside the box...
As they entered the room, everyone in the living room looked over.
"Mr. Yin is carrying such a large gift box. What’s inside?"
Mrs. Ren asked with a smile.
Yin Shixiu didn’t shy away, "It’s Xiao Meng’s birthday gift."
"Open it up quickly and satisfy our curiosity."
Mrs. Ren urged.
Xiao Meng was also a bit excited. Even now, she still felt a bit resentful over the Winnie the Pooh gift Yin Shixiu previously gave her.
Although it was a pair of honeymoon bears, the disparity between the gifts given to her and Meng Meng at that time left a psychological shadow.
So amidst the excitement, there was still a hint of panic...
With so many people watching... What if a giant Winnie the Pooh popped out...
"Open it up quickly. The gift Brother Shixiu gives must be fabulous."
Rong Qiao said as she stood up and walked over, and the others also gathered.
Ren Yixuan just looked over with everyone to avoid standing out...
Su Xiaomeng looked at the large box that occupied most of the coffee table, took a deep breath, pulled off the ribbon, and slowly lifted the box lid...
"Wow..."
"Wow, it’s so beautiful!"
Du Qing leaned on the coffee table, her eyes shining, then looked up at her mom and asked, "Mom, can I wear this?"
Su Xiaomei smiled, "When you grow up, you can wear it."
As long as you find a good match.
The wedding dress...
Ren Yixuan stood behind Rong Qiao, his eyes calm as his gaze fell on Su Xiaomeng’s face...
She was dumbfounded...
A huge surprise suddenly appeared before her, fearing it might be just a fantasy, too beautiful to be real.
Yin Shixiu picked up the wedding dress, seeing the large eyes of Su Xiaomeng filled with tears, he couldn’t help but smile.
Holding the wedding dress, he suddenly knelt on one knee, "Properly marry me once. How about it?"
Su Xiaomeng never expected Yin Shixiu would do something like this. The surprise and emotion overwhelmed her, leaving her speechless.
Beside them, Mrs. Ren laughed and urged, "Xiao Meng, what are you daydreaming about! You can’t leave your husband kneeling like that!"
Su Xiaomeng then recovered from her stupor. Pointing at Yin Shixiu, she said to Mrs. Ren, "This is totally coercive behavior. Do I have the right to refuse? I’ve already given him two kids, if I refuse again, wouldn’t I be foolish?"
"Hahaha..."
"Haha!"
"Xiao Meng, give Mr. Yin some face!"
Even Mr. Ren couldn’t help but laugh.
Beside them, Su’s mother shook her head, wondering whether Yin Shixiu marrying Xiao Meng was fortunate or unfortunate.
"If you refuse, it must be because the wedding dress isn’t beautiful enough. I’ll go sue the wedding dress designer afterward."
Yin Shixiu said lightly.
Su Xiaomeng laughed until tears came out. She wiped the corner of her eye and bent down to give Yin Shixiu a heavy kiss.
"Get up quickly."
Yin Shixiu wrapped an arm around Su Xiaomeng’s waist and said to her, "Go change into the wedding dress, let’s see downstairs."
"Later, there are so many people..."
"Xiao Meng, are you shy?" Su Xiaomei teased, "Everyone here is familiar, and the wedding dress is so beautiful. Hurry up and put it on, let us all see."
Xiao Meng was still a bit embarrassed. Seeing her daughter hesitating, Su’s mother picked up the wedding dress and led Xiao Meng upstairs.
"Chengji, Shixiu, tidy up downstairs."
"Alright!"
Su’s father replied and then pulled Yin Shixiu along to tidy up the table.
Su Xiaomei invited the Ren Family to sit in the adjacent hall, asked Su Chengji the place for the tea leaves, then brewed two pots of tea.
Mr. Ren and Mrs. Ren were still discussing the value of the wedding dress, while Rong Qiao and Ren Yixuan were relatively silent, each lost in thought.
Rong Qiao looked at the man who had taken off his jacket and wore a brown wool vest; he rolled up his sleeves, moving between the living room and the kitchen like any ordinary man...
Somewhat dazed, is this man really Yin Shixiu?
What methods did the Su Family use to make the dignified Fourth Young Master of the Yin Family busy like a househusband who has tasted all kinds of life’s necessities between the living room and kitchen?
Ren Yixuan didn’t look at Yin Shixiu but sat on the sofa, gazing at himself reflected on the surface of the coffee table.
He thought a year would be enough... Even if not entirely, it shouldn’t be far off.
At this moment, the despair and jealousy surging like waves in his heart almost drowned him, making it hard to breathe.
The reflection on the tables showed him so lonely, so unwilling, so dejected...
It was merely losing a relationship; Ren Yixuan should still be the spirited Ren Yixuan.
It was merely his beloved wearing a wedding dress for someone else; Ren Yixuan should still be the carefree Ren Yixuan.
Merely... one merely after another...
Yet he couldn’t calmly face it all.
It turned out that the feelings he wanted to fade didn’t diminish over the year... They were just suppressed deep within his heart’s darkest corner.
"Wow!"
"Sister Meng Meng looks so beautiful! Brother, look, Sister Meng Meng looks like a fairy!"
Du Qing hurriedly tugged at Du Qian, speaking in admiration.
The people sitting on the sofa all turned their gaze towards Su Xiaomeng, who was coming down the stairs.
For Ren Yixuan, every action he took concerning Su Xiaomeng filled him with regret, and the biggest regret of all was this moment of looking up...
