Chapter 469: Wedding Date Moved Up, We Are Getting Married

Liu Xin'ai did not sleep all night, her eyes remaining open until dawn.

Seeing that the time was about right, she got up, tidied herself up a little, and went straight to the Hospital to visit Liu Tengnian.

Inside the Hospital—

Liu Tengnian was resting in bed.

He had already woken up, and almost as soon as he heard someone push the door open, he immediately opened his eyes.

"Xin'ai? Why did you come so early?"

Seeing Liu Xin'ai enter, Liu Tengnian's expression was somewhat surprised.

Liu Xin'ai smiled, set the breakfast she was holding to one side, and then pretended to be nonchalant as she explained: "It's nothing, I was worried you wouldn't be used to staying here and wouldn't sleep soundly, so I came over to see you early."

Liu Tengnian nodded, a look of gratification flashing in the depths of his eyes.

The father and daughter ate breakfast together, and Liu Xin'ai performed some simple checks for Liu Tengnian before helping him back into his hospital bed.

Looking at the time, it was only nine o'clock in the morning.

"Xin'ai, there is something Dad wants to tell you."

Liu Tengnian sat by the side of the hospital bed and suddenly spoke up.

"Go ahead."

Liu Xin'ai was looking down, peeling an apple for him, and responded casually.

Then, the next second, she heard Liu Tengnian say slowly: "I thought about it last night; my own health... I know where I stand. To avoid any complications, you and Yiyan should move the wedding date up to next month."

With a "clatter," the small knife in Liu Xin'ai's hand suddenly dropped to the floor!

"Dad, why did you suddenly think of this? Wasn't the set wedding date at the end of the year?"

Liu Xin'ai's face was full of panic, and she suddenly felt a nervous headache.

Liu Tengnian let out a long sigh: "Xin'ai, you two are already engaged, and getting married sooner is a good thing... I originally thought my health could hold out for a while longer, but looking at it now, settling your marriage is a way to put my mind at ease... I have already decided on this; I will discuss it with your Uncle Qin later, and as for Yiyan..."

"I have no objections."

Before Liu Tengnian could finish his sentence, Qin Yiyan's voice suddenly appeared at the doorway.

A boom sounded in Liu Xin'ai's ears, as if struck by lightning.

The next second, she felt a hand rest on her shoulder.

"Xin'ai, you came to see Uncle so early in the morning, why didn't you call me to come with you?"

Qin Yiyan still had that gentle tone; although he was clearly complaining, his tone sounded as if he were feeling sorry for Liu Xin'ai for getting up so early.

Seeing him arrive, Liu Tengnian immediately followed up on the previous topic and asked: "Yiyan, you have no objections to moving the wedding date up, do you?"

Liu Xin'ai clenched her fists tightly and suddenly looked up at Qin Yiyan.

The toughness in her eyes was gone, leaving only a hint of pleading.

Don't agree...

Find any excuse to turn it down...

Don't agree!

Qin Yiyan curled his lips, successfully receiving the signal in Liu Xin'ai's eyes.

He smiled, but said softly: "I... am of course willing."

The light in Liu Xin'ai's eyes dimmed in an instant.

Heh...

What was she expecting just now?

How could someone like Qin Yiyan ever go along with her wishes?

Isn't his greatest pleasure now to go against her in everything and watch her have to compromise?

"Good, since you agree, then everything is much easier to handle! I'll have someone look for a good day next month, and you two can hold the wedding sooner; that will save us some worry!"

Liu Tengnian beamed with joy, and just as he finished speaking, he heard Liu Xin'ai say softly: "Dad, I'm not ready to get married yet..."

Hearing this, Liu Tengnian shook his head and lovingly took Liu Xin'ai's hand.

"Xin'ai, I had you and Yiyan live together early on just so you could get used to life together. I see that your feelings for each other are about there now, and there's no harm in getting married sooner..."

Liu Xin'ai did not speak; there was no hope left in her heart.

Qin Yiyan, however, suddenly said with great conviction: "Uncle, don't worry. Since you trust me enough to hand Xin'ai over to me, I will definitely treat her well for the rest of my life and let her be the happiest woman in this world."

He said it extremely earnestly, as if Liu Xin'ai were truly some treasure held in the palm of his hand.

Liu Xin'ai sneered in her heart.

The happiest woman in the world?

Those words had long since had nothing to do with her...

"Dad, I..."

Liu Xin'ai still wanted to say something.

Liu Tengnian raised a hand to interrupt: "Alright, Xin'ai, you have to take this step toward marriage eventually; it's just a matter of time. Although... you and Yiyan were brought together by me, but... cough, cough, cough!"

Before Liu Tengnian could finish his sentence, he suddenly began to cough violently.

"Dad!"

Liu Xin'ai was startled and hurriedly didn't dare to say another word, rising to help him catch his breath.

Qin Yiyan also hurriedly brought over a cup of warm water.

Liu Tengnian looked at the two people taking care of him together, his expression suddenly filled with gratification.

"Xin'ai..."

He held Liu Xin'ai's hand and said earnestly: "You and Yiyan being well is the greatest comfort to me..."

This sentence was truly too heavy.

It was so heavy that Liu Xin'ai could not open her mouth again to say a word of refusal.

"I..."

She opened her mouth, and under her father's eager gaze, she finally only said four words.

"I understand."

She nodded, suppressing all her emotions deep down in her heart.

"Good... then I will have people start arranging the wedding for you two right away..."

Liu Tengnian nodded with satisfaction.

A flash of bitterness quickly crossed Liu Xin'ai's eyes.

Because of the wedding, Liu Tengnian's spirits improved quite a bit.

After letting the two of them stay there for a while, he waved his hand to let them leave.

Liu Xin'ai did not linger and left together with Qin Yiyan.

She just wanted to go home now and calm down properly.

There was only one month left...

What should Cheng Hao do?

Qin Yiyan was already intentionally tracking her whereabouts; who knew if he would become even more excessive after they were married?

All the plans Liu Xin'ai had previously made were disrupted, and as she was pondering, she suddenly realized the car was not heading in the direction of home.

"Where are we going?"

She turned around abruptly and asked Qin Yiyan, who was beside her.

"What do you think?"

Qin Yiyan asked back with a smile, and without waiting for her to answer, he explained on his own: "Since we are getting married, naturally we are going to look at things for the wedding."

"You!!!"

Liu Xin'ai had not expected him to be this idle, and she immediately felt a breath stifled in her chest.

"Why did you agree to get married early?"

She ultimately could not help but ask.

Qin Yiyan looked at her with amusement and spoke the answer that Liu Xin'ai had already known deep down in her heart.

"Of course it's because you look like you don't want to get married at all; anyway, for me, it doesn't make much of a difference whether we get married or not, and you..."
