Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Wedding Banquet 6

He Teng stopped the fidgeting He Zhilan in front of him with a hand and scolded her in a low voice, "Stand properly! Stand up straight!" Then he touched his nose and looked at He Zhilan earnestly.

At noon, besides taking a long look when they were at the entrance of the banquet hall, he hardly had the chance to look at her properly after that.

On the one hand, there were too many people around, and he felt embarrassed to stare at He Zhilan continuously; on the other hand, he had to toast and didn’t have the time.

"Just stand there looking like that and you’ll hit me, huh!" He Zhilan stuck out her tongue at He Teng then flopped into his embrace, wrapping her arms around He Teng’s sturdy waist, "Brother, I’m especially happy today!"

Before He Teng could respond, He Zhilan continued, "Brother, we must have a good life together in the future, we must be very happy! I might have many flaws, but dad said, you’re the husband; you have to spoil me and indulge me! And then, for the rest of our lives, it will be like this!"

He Zhilan slid her hand into the palm of He Teng’s hand, saying, "Holding hands and walking together forever!"

Perhaps it was the intoxicating smile on her face, or maybe it was her words that gently touched his wooden heart, for the first time, He Teng responded to He Zhilan seriously, nodding and saying firmly, "Okay!"

His expression and tone were like making a promise to He Zhilan, and although it lacked sugary sweet nothings and earth-shattering oaths, that one word, ’okay,’ represented a promise from him.

A promise valid for a lifetime.

The group only stayed at the hotel for half a day more, and early the next morning, He Zhilan and He Teng took their relatives to the train station, and then they picked up the morning paper from the capital and got on the train back to their military unit.

Lin Chan was quick to act; a notice from Lanteng Company in the morning paper coupled with a photo spread the news of He Zhilan’s remarriage to her ex-husband to every corner of the capital. He Zhilan looked at the photo and the accompanying words "a handsome and talented man, a beautiful woman" and couldn’t help but smile with lips curved all the way.

Upon arriving, it was just after three in the afternoon. He Zhilan wasn’t in a hurry to go back and dragged He Teng to the market to buy some stuff first. The house had been rearranged from scratch, surely there was nothing to eat.

Thinking of home, He Zhilan turned her head to look at He Teng, "When you came, the house was already sorted out, right?"

He Teng nodded, saying, "You should thank your sister-in-law. I was busy, and most of the time it was sister-in-law who helped supervise and tidy up. Your new curtains and everything are all hung up."

"Sister-in-law is so nice!" He Zhilan said with a smile in her eyes, "It was really smart of you to choose to be neighbors with Commissioner Chen Zheng!"

"Hehe~" He Teng curled the corner of his lips and let out a laugh devoid of any real sentiment, making it clear he didn’t agree with her. After all, since becoming neighbors, He Zhilan had troubled Commissioner Chen’s wife on more than one occasion. It was just that Commissioner Chen’s wife was kind-hearted and didn’t mind He Zhilan, otherwise who could tolerate such a troublesome neighbor like her?

While He Teng was thinking this, He Zhilan had already stopped in front of a stall selling little goldfish and turtles. Her eyes, like shining black grapes, looked at him while her face sported an exceedingly ingratiating smile. With her slender index finger, she gently tapped the water surface to tease the little fishes, "Brother, let’s buy a few to raise! It’s just the two of us at home, so empty! Having some living creatures would liven things up!"

He Teng did not hesitate at all to refuse this request.
