Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband
chapter-1269

The Wens and Mings talked about when to have a wedding as there was nothing much to discuss when their kids were ready for this marriage.

"What do you think about engagement and wedding date, Wen Zac?" Elder Ming asked.

"I have important business trips coming after a month, so I will prefer to have it this month. No need for having a grand wedding even. I would be fine with signing papers in the marriage bureau any day after tomorrow."

Hearing it, everyone was a little surprised. He was an only son of Mr. Wen and it would be the first wedding in their family for this generation then a grand wedding was given.

"What are you saying, son?" Wen Zac's mother asked. "It's the first wedding in both families so it should be grand."

"I said my part but will also be fine with what others will decide," Wen Zac replied.

The reason he proposed for a small wedding or just signing the wedding papers was that in his eyes it was a wedding of convenience where his soon-to-be wife had found her side of benefit and he was sure she would want the same. When there was no love between the two people, then there was no need to fake it by arranging a grand wedding.

Mrs. Wen then looked at Ming Lan who was sitting next to Wen Zac. "Don't worry, dear. We will have a grand wedding."

Ming Lan looked back at Mrs. Wen. "I am also fine with having a small wedding or just signing papers."

When Wen Zac proposed to her, she thought he didn't wish to have a grand wedding with her and only wished to get over it as soon as possible. For a moment she imagined their future as husband and wife who didn't love each other. 'Not like I should expect more from this marriage.'

It surprised others and Elder Ming asked, "Have you two already decided on it, together?"

Both shook their heads.

"Though you two think the same, I as an elder don't agree with it. We will have a grand wedding. But as Wen Zac has to go on business trips, we can make it possible by the end of this month," elder Ming informed and then looked at his son and at Mr. Wen, "It is possible to do so."

Being older, no one would deny elder Ming's words and they agreed to it.

Wen Zac was sitting calm while Ming Lan felt anxious while thinking she will be a married woman in less than a month and her entire world will change. The way things were happening so fast, made her nervous but she had to deal with it as she was the one to ask for it.

Finally, everything was decided and the elders were busy talking as Wen Zac and Ming got the chance to talk. They haven't talked Since that day when Ming Lan had asked him to marry her and he agreed. Later all the communication was between the families which assured her that he had kept his words.

Now finally they were alone, Ming Lan didn't know what to say as she was still embarrassed about her bold proposal to him.

"I hope you don't mind the kind of wedding our parents are planning," finally Wen Zac spoke.

"It's fine if they are happy with it," Ming Lan replied.

"If you need my presence during any arrangement, you can call me. I'll be there," Wen Zac offered.

Ming Lan nodded, "I will."

Wen Zac finally looked at her, "You should be careful when you go out in the cold. Make sure to wear warmer clothes."

Ming Lan felt surprised with caring words from him and looked back at him. The moment she looked at him, Wen Zac immediately changed his words, "We don't want you to fall sick and then unnecessary delay in the wedding. It would be better to get it done soon."

Ming Lan realized he only cared about getting that wedding done soon. She nodded again, "I'll be careful."

Both families had dinner together as everything was confirmed from both sides. Once the Wen family left, Lu Lian was ready to leave for home.

"Grandpa, I'll take a leave now," Lu Lian informed as she was just ready to leave.

"Why are you leaving at this hour? Stay here and you can leave tomorrow," Elder Ming offered.

Lu Lian felt hesitant, "It's fine grandpa. It's not that late yet."

"The road from towards your home is blocked from that second intersection. The snow won't be cleared for the next few hours," Ming Rusheng added.

It surprised Lu Lian, "Is it? Let me check."

"No need to check. Just leave if you wish to," Ming Rusheng said coldly and left to go upstairs.

"What's wrong with him?" Zhang Jei asked as she saw her son leaving like this.

"He just wants Lian to stay here," Ming Lan replied only to get a glare from her friend and changed her words, "I..mean, he cares for Lian's safety."

"Stay here," elder Ming insisted.

She had to agree to it not just because elder Ming had asked her but it bothered her when Ming Rusheng said if she didn't trust his words.

The next morning when Lu Lain woke up, she checked for if the road was clear but there was no news about the road being blocked. She checked properly but it was not the case.

She frowned, "Did he just fool me?"

Ming Lan, who had woken up, looked at Lu Lian who had slept in her room, "Who had fooled the smart lady like Ms. Lu?"

"Someone who wishes to get beaten up," Lu Lian replied and stepped out of the bed.

"Go and beat him then. The room is not that far," Ming Lan replied and closed her eyes to go back to sleep.

Lu Lian went to Ming Rusheng's room and knocked on the door. In a while, Ming Rusheng opened the door and looked at Lu Lian who was in her messy look after sleep.

"What's the matter?" Ming Rusheng asked as he sounded a bit annoyed. His hair was messy and his voice sounded hoarse as he had just woken up thanks to the sudden knocking on his room's door.

Lu Lian glared at him, "You said the second intersection was blocked but there is no such news. Why did you lie?"

"I didn't and even if I did, no need to be so hyper," Ming Rusheng replied casually. "Give me your phone," he instructed but before she could even think about giving it to him, he pulled it out from her hand and did something with it. He held the cell phone in front of her and said, "See."

Lu Lian saw it, "I don't go by this way."

"I said the second intersection going towards Lu Mansion is blocked so this proves I was not lying. Now you are free to think what you want."

"You are just too much," she said under her greeted teeth.

Ming Rusheng smirked and closed the door while Lu Lian returned to Ming Lan's room.

Laying in the bed lazily, Ming Lan looked at her, "He cares for you and didn't wish you to go back so late, that's why he tricked you."

Lu Lian gave her a narrowed-eyed look, "Did you know it?"

"Well, I know my brother well to know what and why he does something."

"You both siblings are so annoying."

"Don't forget that out of these two annoying siblings, one is your best friend and one is the love of your life. Seems like you fancy annoying people a lot."

"Yeah, I am the one at fault," Lu Lian said and went back to the bed to get into the cozy blanket.

"We are invited to the naming ceremony of Baobao's baby," Ming Lan informed.

Lu Lian nodded, "After so many years there is a baby in our family so a grand celebration was given."

"True," Ming Lan agreed, "Yesterday, Grandpa was talking to aunt Ruolan about Yuyan going on a blind date. Is it true"

"Hmm, it's true but I am surprised that she agreed."

"I too. I wonder how this miracle happened?" Ming Lan added.

"Not sure if it's a miracle or something else."

"What do you mean?" Ming Lan asked.

"If it was someone else, I could have believed it but it's hard to accept that she agreed to even see someone. I feel like there is something in her mind that no one knows. I feel worried about her."

"What do you think it must be…"

"Lu Lijun!" Lu Lian answered.

"What does it have to do with him?" Ming Lan asked.

Lu Lian thought for a moment but couldn't come up to say what she exactly felt and answered, "I guess she wishes to leave soon so Lu Lijun can take her place in Lu Corporations and….." Lu Lian stopped.

"And?" Ming Lan asked.

"Nothing. I just hope everything should be peaceful for her," Lu Lian replied.

"I heard that the Choi family and that guy are also invited. I think it's to let other family members get familiar with that guy," Ming Lan informed.

"What?" Lu Lian exclaimed.

"Yes, but why are you so hyper. Can't they invite that family?" Ming Lan questioned.

"N-No, not like that. It was just unexpected. Feels like things are moving unnecessarily faster. Lu Lijun...he was not that happy when mother told him Yuyan had agreed to see that guy and then went on a blind date too."

"He needs to understand now that Yuyan has done enough and it's her time to move ahead," Ming Lan said.

"Hmm!" is what Lu Lian replied and continued staring at the ceiling as the worry filled her eyes.
