Chapter 580. Toasting
“Grandpa~”
Under my mother’s guidance, Ning Chu and Wen Yang arrived at the nearest main table.
This table was filled with her familiar relatives and friends, including Grandma, Grandpa, Brother, Sister-in-law, Hei Dou, and Wen Yang’s uncles and aunts.
The tall and thin old man, despite his white hair, had bright, sparkling eyes and stood up with a cheerful smile.
“Very good~ Very good~”
He looked Wen Yang up and down, laughing with crinkles all over his face.
A few years ago, when he learned that Ning Chu had taken the household registration book and rushed to get a marriage certificate with Wen Yang, he nearly had a hypertension episode, fearing his granddaughter would meet the same unfortunate fate as her mother.
But looking at it now, it was clear that his granddaughter had a much better ability to choose partners than her mother.
Grandpa glanced at the man sitting at another table, grunted with displeasure, and then pulled out a thick stack of cash, seeing Ning Chu’s eyes light up, he announced, “I and your grandma have a total of fifty thousand.”
“Thank you, Grandpa~”
Ning Chu had plain water in her cup, clinking glasses with Wen Yang and Grandpa before downing it in one go.
She was still pregnant, so no one would dare say anything about her drinking water instead of alcohol, while Wen Yang drank beer, and one small cup didn’t affect him at all.
“Grandma~”
Wearing the same ram’s horn hairstyle as Ning Chu, Grandma was in her sixties or seventies, but with makeup, she looked like she was in her thirties or forties; only her slightly blurry eyes revealed her age.
“Cheers.”
She lifted her glass to gently clink with the couple, her eyes crinkling with joy, “May you enjoy a long and happy union, and Wen Yang, remember to let Ning Chu have her way sometimes.”
“Did you hear that? You have to indulge me.”
“Grandma, aren’t you supposed to help me out here?”
Ning Chu nodded eagerly, glancing up at Wen Yang, instinctively leaning her shoulder against her husband’s chest, “Just you wait~”
Looking over, Wen Yang’s uncles and aunts were sitting together with Grandma and Grandpa.
When Wen Yang was a child, they often supported him, so their relationship was good; this time at the wedding, they stood in for Wen Yang’s parents.
It was said that one of them used to be a ghost hunter in his youth, but due to overexertion back then, he had become weak, and due to a serious illness, Wen Yang had eagerly taken time off to visit him.
“Uncles, aunts…”
This was the first time Ning Chu had met the two of them; she greeted them shyly and obediently.
“Wen Yang, what luck to marry such a wonderful wife!” one uncle teased, pulling out a red envelope.
He gazed at his niece-in-law, whose wedding dress highlighted her curves and her beautifully made-up face—she was simply stunning, breathtaking to anyone who saw her.
“I’ve always heard Wen Yang say you’re beautiful, why didn’t you come back during the New Year?”
Ning Chu was caught off guard, not knowing how to respond.
But Wen Yang smiled calmly and said, “Of course, I have to please my mother-in-law. Otherwise, how could I marry such a beautiful wife?”
“That makes sense.” The uncle patted Wen Yang’s shoulder and raised his glass, “Treat her well, don’t let the girl down.”
“Sure.”
After visiting the main table, even though Ning Chu only drank water, her belly felt full, while Wen Yang had drunk several glasses of beer, his cheeks becoming rosy.
“Don’t drink too much; we still have seven or eight tables to go…”
Ning Chu furrowed her brow with concern.
Her mother, experienced, assured her, “It’s fine, just drink one cup at each table, then come back for some food. If someone tries to force him to drink, just call the best man over.”
“That best man loves to get Wen Yang drunk the most.”
Even though Zhang Shaoqing left a good impression on Ning Chu during this encounter, his earlier teasing comment about “give her a kiss” was definitely instigated by him!
He thought she wouldn’t recognize his tone change! How shameless!
Only today at the wedding, filled with excitement, she dared to kiss Wen Yang in front of all their friends and family… now that she thought about it, she felt a little regretful, her face heated.
Fortunately, as a Succubus, and pregnant, her sense of shame had faded gradually through repeated experiences.
Sitting by the main table were Ning Chu and Wen Yang’s close friends.
Seeing the three approach, Zhang Shaoqing stood up straight with a sincere smile, raising his glass, “Wishing you both a happy marriage and early children!”
“Sounds a bit sarcastic.” Ning Chu rolled her eyes at him.
“Just don’t drink; come over and help me avoid the drinks.” Wen Yang laughed as he threw his arm around Zhang Shaoqing’s shoulder and pulled him away from the table, “Drink too much and my wife will get mad.”
“Wen Yang~ you need to stand up for yourself, how can you be so accommodating?”
“This is called respect; I love my wife.”
Yan Xinya, Lily, Qian Qian, and their respective boyfriends all arrived.
It was Ning Chu’s first time seeing Lily’s boyfriend; she curiously looked him over. The short-haired handsome guy looked casual, making it hard to gauge his physique, but he had an upright demeanor and didn’t seem weak at all.
After all, Lily was just drinking some milk and practicing her craft; if he seemed feeble now, they might have to break up.
Next to her, Lily was still shy and blushing, her face rosy and radiant, her previous icy demeanor nowhere to be found; her eyes sparkled, and her complexion was full… Back when Ning Chu first started dating Wen Yang, she always had this kind of state—one could tell she was full from too much milk.
“Lily~ when are you guys getting married?”
“Happy wedding…” Lily blushed and shyly glanced at her boyfriend, “Maybe in two years?”
“Two years? By then, you’ll be an old maid~”
She replied with a stiff face, “Got to make sure to properly test him; I’m not worried about getting married regardless.”
“That’s definitely true.”
Lily came from a good family, had a great education, was beautiful and charming; even at forty, she could find a wealthy man much younger than her, so she really didn’t have to worry. The only problem was that her standards were too high.
Moreover, considering the condition of Ning Chu’s family, at forty, Lily would probably still look less than thirty.
After chatting with the other friends for a bit, Wen Yang noticed an empty seat at the table, “Where’s Wang Jie?”
Zhang Shaoqing pointed far away, “Over there, probably catching up with his bunny girlfriend?”
From a distance, they saw Wang Jie sitting beside a cute girl, nervously gripping his pants, head down, as if whispering something.
Wen Yang and Ning Chu exchanged mischievous smiles at the same time.
“Do you think they can reconcile?”
In her ten-centimeter heels, Ning Chu shifted her feet and easily whispered in Wen Yang’s ear, no longer needing to tiptoe, her hands resting on Wen Yang’s shoulders.
“Thinking rationally, I don’t think so; Wang Jie has been too distant these past few years.”
“Of course they can! She’s waited for him for so long!”
“Then what shall we bet on?” Wen Yang asked in a low voice.
Ning Chu thought for a moment before teasingly suggesting, “Bet that on our wedding night, I’ll be on top~”
“……”
Walking ahead, Ning Chu’s mother, who was introducing distant relatives to the couple, shook her head helplessly: “These young people these days~”
The wedding hadn’t even ended, and they were already thinking about tonight’s positions; such energy!
