Finale – Wedding
In the third year of dating.
Early in the morning, Shang Lu was awakened by Da Guai pulling the corner of her blanket. Her hands were also a bit itchy, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chi Yan squatting beside Da Guai, using a feather he found somewhere to tickle her palm.
Shang Lu picked up the nearby pillow to cover her face, feeling extremely sleepy. “Give you one minute, give me a reason to forgive you for disturbing my lazy sleep on a rest day.”
“Well, you rest well. I’ll go see my Mom’s boyfriend myself.” Chi Yan said as he walked away.
Shang Lu suddenly opened her eyes.
What? Chi Yan’s Mom’s boyfriend?
Shang Lu sat up abruptly, her eyes wide open. “What about your Dad?”
“I don’t know.” Chi Yan’s voice sounded relaxed as he explained the situation to Shang Lu. “My Dad just called and said my Mom has been acting strange lately. The day before yesterday, she even brought a young handsome guy home, and the two of them are inseparable, going early and coming back late. He asked me to come home and listen to his grievances. I wanted to invite you, but if you want to sleep, forget it.”
“No! I’ll go! I have to go!” Shang Lu immediately threw off the blanket, got out of bed, and hurriedly looked for clothes to wear. “Give me five minutes, and we’ll go back together to see the excitement… ah, I mean, to protect your family!”
Shang Lu followed Chi Yan back to Chi’s mansion.
In fact, this was not the first time Father and Mother Chi had quarreled, but Shang Lu never got tired of the drama.
The middle-aged man sat on the sofa as if he had lost his soul, tears streaming down his face. His eyes were lifeless as he stared at the ceiling, muttering, “What did I do wrong? Does your Mom no longer love me? Will she divorce me? I can’t bear to lose her, but I can’t stop her from choosing someone better than me.”
When Father Chi mentioned this, he suddenly looked at Chi Yan with a sense of urgency and asked, “If Mom and Dad are no longer together, will you stay with Dad or Mom? Do you like Dad more, or Mom more?”
Chi Yan : “?”
It hasn’t come to that point yet.
Shang Lu : “…”
—Can’t laugh, hold it in, absolutely can’t laugh.
Father Chi wasn’t really expecting Chi Yan’s answer with this question. The next moment, he continued to talk to himself, “You have to stay with Mom. It was too hard for her to endure ten months of pregnancy to give birth to you. You can’t not choose her. No, you have to stay with me. Only if you stay with me, your Mom will continue to tolerate me because she can’t bear to lose you! No… using a child to keep a wife is too selfish. I truly love her, and I should respect her. You should stay with your Mom…”
“Stop.” Chi Yan couldn’t listen anymore and interrupted his father’s ever-changing thoughts. He said, “I’m already an adult, you don’t have to worry about me if you get divorced.”
Shang Lu tugged at Chi Yan’s sleeve and said, “Shouldn’t we comfort him a little?”
“Don’t bother.” Chi Yan said, pulling Shang Lu’s hand and playing with it in his palm. He looked directly at his Dad and asked, “Are you done talking? When are we having lunch?”
Father Chi slapped the sofa directly, “Unfilial son! At a time like this, you’re still showing affection in front of a lonely old man about to be abandoned by his wife. How do I have a son like you!”
“What are you arguing about?” A lazy female voice sounded at the door. When she saw Shang Lu, her voice became cheerful again, “Lulu is here too.”
Father Chi stood up excitedly and asked, “Why did you bring him back again?”
Shang Lu and Chi Yan exchanged glances, and both saw the word ‘gossip’ in each other’s eyes.
Brought him back again?
It seems that the young handsome guy is here too!
Shang Lu curiously looked towards the door, only to find a tall and thin young man with his eyes covered by black cloth standing behind Mother Chi.
It was evident that he had recently dyed his hair light gray. He wore a strange black robe with a bunch of items that Shang Lu couldn’t understand hanging from his waist, all seemingly related to metaphysics.
But strangely, he was also wearing a pair of very expensive limited edition sneakers, which were very eye-catching in green colors.
Although the outfit was mismatched, even with his eyes covered, the young man’s handsome appearance was apparent…
Wait a minute, this person looks familiar.
Shang Lu tentatively called out, “Ou Yi?”
The young man didn’t even uncover the black cloth on his face; instinctively, he replied faster than his brain, “Teacher Shang Lu!”
The room fell into silence.
The young man instantly took off the black cloth and looked at Shang Lu in surprise, asking, “Why are you here?”
“This is his home.” Shang Lu pointed at Chi Yan, then looked at Ou Yi’s robe, asking, “Shouldn’t I be asking why you’re here?”
And he even became Chi Yan’s Mom’s… young boyfriend?
The relationships here are really complicated.
Shang Lu looked at Chi Yan and hesitated, “Shouldn’t you stop this? I’m afraid I’ll have to see you call Ou Yi ‘Dad’ in the future.”
Chi Yan also looked at her with an helpless expression, shrugging, “There’s nothing I can do. But you’ll have to join me in changing the way we address him.”
Shang Lu vigorously shook her head.
It’s really hard to believe that Ou Yi said sincerely, “I never thought that such a coincidental thing would happen in the world. My Teacher is Chi Yan’s Mother! Chi Yan, do you also understand metaphysics?”
Shang Lu : ?
Metaphysics? Oh, right, Ou Yi’s whole family is very superstitious.
There’s no strange relationships between Ou Yi and Chi Yan’s Mom, well… actually, it’s quite strange because Ou Yi is now Mother Chi’s direct disciple.
Therefore, Ou Yi moved into the Chi’s mansion, and every day, he followed Mother Chi in and out, dedicating himself to studying.
Upon learning that his marriage was not in crisis, Father Chi let out a sigh of relief.
Shang Lu, however, looked at Ou Yi with some surprise and asked, “Didn’t you inform anyone?”
“I pretended to be sick, and took a month off,” Ou Yi confidently replied. Then he looked at Shang Lu and asked her, “Do you want me to read your fortune?”
Shang Lu : “?”
Ou Yi had only just started learning, right? Could he really do it?
But looking at Ou Yi’s sincere eyes, Shang Lu didn’t want to undermine his confidence and nodded, “Go ahead, read it.”
Ou Yi took out a piece of talisman paper and had Shang Lu hold it in her hand. Closing his eyes, he extended his hand, as if performing a ritual, and said, “Something big is about to happen to you soon.”
Shang Lu, in accordance with his words, asked, “What big thing?”
“Significant changes in your emotional life are coming,” Ou Yi said, then looked at Chi Yan and added, “You too, reach out and hold it.”
Chi Yan did as instructed.
With closed eyes, Ou Yi muttered a few words that they couldn’t understand. Then he said, “You have a secret hidden from Shang Lu! A few months ago… about three months, did you go somewhere behind Shang Lu’s back? What happened there will change the status of your relationship! I have the ability to revisit the scene. Let me take a look… you were happily chatting with several beautiful ladies, and you even gave them money!”
Lol. Is he seeing the scene of CY “bribing the bridesmaids” to help him get the bride earlier? It’s obviously part of his wedding with SL, right? 😂😂😂
