Chapter 140 - 140 140 Ying Zi Be Happy

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Ying Zi, Be Happy! Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Ying Zi, Be Happy! The three gentlemen from the Ji family stayed in the villa for one night before leaving. Le Tong, Sihan, and the twins, on the other hand, stayed behind.

Of course, the twins were responsible for keeping the atmosphere lively, Le Tong and Sihan stayed to help decorate the villa.

Besides the three generations of women in Zhu Qianying’s family and the mother-daughter pair of Le Tong, there were also staff from the wedding company. Even so, everyone was incredibly busy.

Initially, even after getting her marriage license with Yan Shao, Zhu Qianying didn’t feel an authentic sense of impending nuptial. But when she saw the rented villa progressively transformed from a vacation home into joyous residence by everyone, she truly felt, that she will soon become a married woman.

With the wedding date two days away, the villa’s decorations were finally completed by early evening. This meant that Zhu Qianying could get some bride-care treatment tomorrow, and then peacefully prepare to become a beautiful bride.

Zhu Qianying, who had been busy with everyone for two days, yawned continuously during dinner.

“Ying’er, you should hurry to bed after eating and washing up!”

Chen Jing, worried for her daughter, kept reminding her as she ate.

Zhu Qianying had planned on doing so, but after finishing her meal and bathing, she received a call from Xing Bailun, whom she hadn’t seen for some days.

“Ying Zi, the day after tomorrow is your big day. Let’s meet up.”

Xing Bailun’s voice was detached, and from his words alone, Zhu Qianying couldn’t imagine his current expression.

“Alright, where are you guys?”

When Zhu Qianying saw Xing Bailun’s name flashing, complex emotions welled up within her.

This has probably been the longest period since their deep friendship that she’s had no contact with Xing Bailun.

In the past, as long as they could contact each other, Xing Bailun would get in touch with her daily, either by phone or by text. But ever since his indirect confession, his calls noticeably decreased. Consequently, she didn’t often initiate contact either.

Firstly, she considered Xing Bailun’s feelings and secondly, she didn’t want to annoy Yan Shao and cause Xing Bailun to get into trouble.

“Remember the clubhouse where we celebrated Qi Xiao’s birthday?”

Zhu Qianying remembers it vividly. That time, all five of them partied and drank so much they slept haphazardly all over the carpet and sofas for the night.

That night, she slept on the sofa and woke up the next day covered with Xing Bailun’s coat while the other four were strewn across the carpet, including Xing Bailun.

“I remember, I’ll start heading out now, it should take about half an hour.”

“Do you want me to pick you up?” Xing Bailun knew that she moved out of the Zhu’s house to rent an apartment, but he didn’t know she was currently residing in a holiday villa.

“No need, I’ll take a cab over there, you don’t have to run back and forth.”

About half an hour later, her cab stopped outside the clubhouse. As Zhu Qianying got out, she saw Xing Bailun dressed in a black coat waiting for her at the entrance. He came jogging over immediately when he saw her exit the car.

“Ying Zi!”

Zhu Qianying’s eyes fell on his leg first, “Is your leg alright?”

The plaster on Xing Bailun’s leg was removed a few days back. Before the procedure happened, Qi Xiao had texted her. She also questioned whether she should be there, but Qi Xiao asked her, “Forget it, you’re busy with your own matters.”

Zhu Qianying most likely understood why Qi Xiao said that, so she didn’t insist.

“It’s fine, I can run, I can jump. Don’t worry, we can go climbing together again during summer.”

Xing Bailun gave her a light pat on the shoulder while laughing, and they both entered the clubhouse chatting and laughing.

As soon as she opened the door to the VIP room, Zhu Qianying heard the boisterous laughter of Qi Xiao and the others.

She looked up and saw them playing darts. She didn’t know who threw off aim, but a dart hit the wall next to the dart target.

“Who is so lousy? Are they blind?” Zhu Qianying jeered as she stepped into the room.

Qi Xiao was shoved out by Lu Hui and Ling Chen, “Young Master Qi said he worked overtime yesterday and was too tired to aim straight. Ying Zi, do you believe him?”

Zhu Qianying laughed but didn’t continue the topic. She walked over, grabbed three darts, and tossed them swiftly. All three sped in succession, hitting the bullseye!

“Young Master Qi, learn what a dart god is! With your level, you’re not even qualified to hold Ying Zi’s shoes!” Lu Hui gleefully mocked Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao quietly said in Zhu Qianying’s ear, “I was drinking with Aaron last night!”

Zhu Qianying turned to look. After Xing Bailun entered the room, he sat down alone on the sofa. At that moment, he was holding a glass and looking her way, and their eyes met each other.

Zhu Qianying gave him a small smile, then turned back and quietly asked Qi Xiao, “Is he alright?”

Qi Xiao was silent for a moment, then asked her, “What do you think?”

Before Zhu Qianying had a chance to answer, he quickly said, “Nevermind, I didn’t say anything. After a while, it will definitely get better.”

No matter if Qi Xiao was speaking truthfully or soothing her, Zhu Qianying could only believe him.

Yes, after a while, it will definitely get better!

“His dad has already announced his retirement in the Xing family for after Spring Festival. In two months, Aaron will be the CEO! You guys…well… nevermind, let’s go have a drink!”

Qi Xiao put an arm around Zhu Qianying’s shoulder and led her towards the sofas.

Ling Chen and Lu Hui followed boisterously. Qi Xiao poured some wine for Zhu Qianying and handed it over, and the four raised their glasses together.

“Ying Zi, wishing you a happy marriage!” Qi Xiao said.

“Ying Zi, make sure you come out and hang out often after you’re married. You can’t abandon us good brothers just because you’ve tied the knot,” Lu Hui said.

“Ying Zi, we agreed to go on an adventure together during the May holiday, remember? Does that still hold?” Ling Chen said.

Only Xing Bailun, holding his glass, gently clinked the rim of Zhu Qianying’s glass without saying a word. He tipped back his head and drained his glass.

After finishing, he extended a hand and half pulled Zhu Qianying into a half hug. He whispered in her ear, “Ying Zi, be happy!”

Zhu Qianying immediately nodded and responded, “Yes, I will! Aaron, you too, be happy!”

Xing Bailun gently pushed her away, his hands on her shoulders as he looked directly into her eyes.

“If you’re happy, I’m happy!”

Zhu Qianying felt a lump in her throat. She took a deep breath in and avoided his burning gaze, putting the cup to her mouth, and in a sweep, downed more than half the drink.

After this round of drinks, neither Xing Bailun nor Qi Xiao and the others said anything else emotional. Everyone chatted, joked, sang songs, drank wine, and played games as they always did until past one in the morning when the driver drove them home in the business vehicle.

Though Zhu Qianying lived the furthest away, the four unanimously decided to drop her off first.

When she was getting out of the vehicle, Xing Bailun took a bag full of gift boxes from within the vehicle and handed it to her, “Our gift to you!”
