Though she mumbled her dissatisfaction, Lin Jia was actually extremely happy. Her heart was now completely devoted to Yang Yu. While he had mentioned marriage before, this time he said it in front of her mother, making it different.
Lin's mother happily called her relatives to announce the good news.
Only Yang Yu and Lin Jia remained in the living room.
Lin Jia looked at Yang Yu with a soft gaze and said, "Are you really sure about getting married?"
"Of course, how can someone joke about this?" Yang Yu replied.
"I feel like it's not real. Isn't this too fast? We've only been together for a short time, and now we're talking about marriage." Lin Jia said with some unease.
"Silly, don't you want to marry me?" Yang Yu rubbed Lin Jia's head.
"Of course I do, it's just that it feels like a dream. You're so wealthy and talented. How could you possibly like me? I'm sure there are countless girls who adore you." Lin Jia said.
"Are you experiencing some pre-marital anxiety? Why are you suddenly having these random thoughts?" Yang Yu chuckled.
"What do you mean? I just want to know what you see in me. Why do you like me? And where did you see me before? I have no recollection of you at all." Lin Jia asked a barrage of questions.
This woman is so troublesome, everything needs to be questioned. Can I tell her I saw her in a movie? Yang Yu thought to himself.
He could only make up a story, "It was when I came to Chengdu for a trip. I saw you by chance and was captivated by your beauty. I had a crucial contract to sign and had to rush back to Magic City. Otherwise, I would have approached you that day."
Lin Jia didn't believe him, "How could something so coincidental happen? I don't believe you."
"Whether you believe it or not, you are mine now. You can't escape." Yang Yu didn't want to continue this topic. He picked up Lin Jia and walked towards the room.
Two hours later when they emerged, Yang Yu looked refreshed, and Lin Jia had a radiant glow.
During lunch, Lin Jia was blushing crimson under her mother's strange gaze.
Yang Yu asked, "Where's your father? Isn't he coming back for lunch?"
"He went to your aunt Jia Jia's place for drinks." Lin's mother replied.
"Right, I have a dinner arranged with relatives tonight. Is that alright with you, Xiaoyong?"
"I'll follow whatever arrangements you make, Aunt." Yang Yu replied.
Lin's mother nodded approvingly.
After lunch, Lin's mother told Yang Yu to rest. Lin Jia followed her to wash the dishes.
In the kitchen, Lin's mother reprimanded her, "You two don't know when to stop. This is broad daylight. What if the neighbors hear?"
Lin Jia blushed and didn't say anything. What could she say?
"Forget it, I won't say anything about you young people anymore."
"By the way, remind Xiaoyong. You know your aunt. She found a good son-in-law and looks down on everyone else. You should tell Xiaoyong to be more accommodating." Lin's mother advised.
"That's just how she is, a snob. She acts like everyone owes her something. She's always stuck up, I just find her annoying." Lin Jia complained.
"What are you saying? No matter what, she's an elder. Besides, she really did find a good son-in-law. His father is a vice county magistrate." Lin's mother said.
"Then don't invite her. Yang Yu's temper is not one to tolerate her nonsense." Lin Jia said.
"I think Xiaoyong is quite good-natured. You just stay out of trouble." Lin's mother said, not believing her.
...
That evening, in a private room at a hotel.
Lin Jia's family and Lin Jia's uncle and aunt's family were gathered.
Lin Jia's father had three siblings, with Lin's father being the eldest.
Lin Jia's aunt and uncle were both honest types. But Lin Jia's second uncle's family was quite snobbish, and they started criticizing before even sitting down.
"Big brother, this is really not right of you. Jia Jia is about to get married, and you only tell us now? She's your second sister, and she was so worried for her. She was always trying to find someone suitable for Jia Jia."
"That's right, marriage is a big deal. Why didn't you talk to us about it beforehand?" Lin Jia's second sister also chimed in.
Lin Jia's aunt quickly tried to smooth things over, "Their relationship and marriage are their business. Why are you worrying about it? This is a happy occasion. I think Jia Jia has excellent taste. This young man is handsome and impressive."
Lin Jia's father then introduced Yang Yu to everyone, and Yang Yu politely greeted them in turn.
Yang Yu disliked Lin Jia's second uncle's family's tone of voice, but because they were relatives, he didn't say anything more.
"Why haven't your daughter Xiaoli and Xiaofei arrived yet?" Lin's mother asked.
Lin's mother was referring to Lin Jia's second uncle's daughter, named Lin Li, who was two years younger than Lin Jia. Xiaofei was her son-in-law, named Li Fei, and his father was a vice county magistrate.
Mentioning her daughter and son-in-law, Lin Jia's second sister immediately said in a haughty tone, "Xiaofei is very busy with work. He's young but about to be promoted to Deputy Director. Now is the time for him to work hard. We'll just wait for them."
Lin Jia immediately got angry. Why should they wait for them?
