After Long Xiushui met Warming, he didn't stay for long and quickly returned to Athens. Auntie Wen knew that she had come and also knew about Warming’s awareness of their relationship. However, Warming did not mind at all, nor did Auntie Wen. When her child died, Long Xiushui gave her a daughter to heal her wounds. Over the years, the Wen family treated Warming like their own daughter, and Long Xiushui was also her closest friend. Of course, she wouldn't have any objections. Back when they first met, they hit it off immediately; her daughter had always been cherished and pampered by Auntie Wen. She hoped that Long Xiushui would stay to attend Warming’s wedding, but Long Xiushui said she didn’t want to stay and reminded Auntie Wen that Warming only had one mother, both in her heart and everyone else's.

Warming did not insist either. As soon as Long Xiushui left, Wen Jing returned home. Warming felt very strange; it had only been a winter break since they last saw each other, but it seemed that Wen Jing had matured significantly. Her face was the same and she only grew one centimeter taller, but her expression no longer looked like that of an adolescent student. Occasionally, there was a sharp glint in her eyes that was surprising.

However, Wen Jing remained Wen Jing; she was still Warming’s sister who returned home clinging to her as usual. Their relationship was extremely close. Upon returning, she went straight to school and started attending classes. When she came back home, she stayed locked in her room all the time, nobody knew what she was doing alone.

Warming was busy with wedding preparations and did not bother with her.

This day, both families of the Ye household had a meal together; Long Chengtian also arrived. He was Warming’s brother, and in recent days, he got along well with the Wen family parents. Ye Tianyu and Ye Kelan returned home as well, all members of the Ye household gathered this time, which was according to tradition for both families to have a meal together before the wedding.

The restaurant was booked at a private room in GK International Hotel.

This time, Ye Kelan insisted on being Warming’s maid of honor. Wen Jing also wanted to be the maid of honor, Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao wanted to be as well; her bridal party would be quite impressive. However, the wedding planning team said that only three maids of honor were needed. Both Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao insisted on being one, so Ye Kelan and Wen Jing could not both be included. Ye Kelan did not want to give up, neither did Wen Jing. Since Wen Jing was a few years older than Ye Kelan and had better figure, she firmly wanted to be the maid of honor. As for Ye Kelan, as the youngest princess of the Ye family, naturally she would also compete for it; both women glared at each other but could not reach an agreement.

Wen Jing kept a serious face without any expression; her meaning was clear: my sister is getting married, I want to be her maid of honor, that’s final. She felt like saying anything more would be redundant.

The aura she emitted was quite intimidating.

Ye Kelan looked at Ye Ningyuan with a pitiful expression, who shrugged helplessly as he found this matter troublesome. Ye Kelan glanced at her grandfather and grandmother; Ye Sanshao turned around to chat with Wen’s father, making Ye Kelan angry. Ye Tianyu said, "Kelan, since being a maid of honor means you won't get married, why don’t you give the spot to Wen Jing."

Wen Jing squinted her eyes, spat out in disgust, “You will never find a wife.”

"Brother…" Ye Kelan whined. Ye Tianyu said, "Be good, wait until I get married before you can be the maid of honor."

"Wahh…" Ye Kelan threw herself into Ye Sanshao’s arms, “Grandpa, Brother has betrayed me; he even says such things.”

Ye Sanshao was puzzled. Wasn't this a normal thing to say Ye Ningyuan also felt that Ye Tianyu sounded pretty reasonable, suggesting his sister be the bridesmaid for his wedding.

Ye Kalei pointed at Ye Tianyu and said, "By the time my brother gets married, I might already have kids who can help out with chores. How am I supposed to be a bridesmaid then"

Ye Sanshao: "..."

Ye Ningyuan: "..."

Cheng Anya and Xu Nuo, as well as everyone else present, were speechless too. Mrs. Wen said, "Xiao Jing, since Ye Kalei loves being a bridesmaid so much, why don't we let her be one then Being a bridesmaid isn’t all that fun anyway."

"No! I already agreed with my sister long ago that if she gets married, I’ll definitely be her bridesmaid." Wen Jing was also quite stubborn. Ye Kalei slammed the table, "Fine, we’ll settle this with a duel. The winner gets to be the bridesmaid."

Ye Ningyuan pinched his nose. His daughter really knew how to bully others; there was no way she’d lose in a duel.

Ye Tianyu coughed, and Wen Jing said coolly, "Violence! Dueling is something foreign people do. We don’t go for that sort of thing here. It’s whoever says it."

"The groom picks the bridesmaid, Uncle Er [second uncle]. Dear Uncle Er, who should be the bridesmaid" Ye Kalei abandoned Ye Sanshao and threw herself at Ye Nimo, hugging him tightly and saying, "Uncle Er is the one who loves me most. How can you bear to see Little Kelei crying her eyes out"

Ye Nimo: "..."

Please don’t involve him—he hadn’t said anything from beginning to end—why should he get involved Xu Nuo said, "Ye Kalei, stop messing around. If you don’t stop, I’ll throw you out."

Ye Kalei’s eyes widened as she blinked at Xu Nuo, her lip curling slightly as if tears were about to pour down. Xu Nuo was not one to be swayed by this tactic; Ye Ningyuan opened his mouth to speak, but Xu Nuo shot him a sideways glance. Ye Ningyuan shrugged helplessly, and Ye Kalei started weeping dramatically, "I only know that Mommy loves Brother more than me. I’m going to run away from home… I’m going to run away from home…"

Xu Nuo said, "How many days of the year do you actually spend at home"

Ye Kalei stuck out her tongue. Ye Ningyuan laughed and said, "Come on now. How about this Papa will give the wedding planner a call tomorrow and have them add another bridesmaid to the list. We’ll just plan an extra activity and be done with it. No need to argue anymore."

Ye Feimo had long wanted to say this, so as not to have the two ladies quarrel back and forth. Ye Kelan's goal was achieved and she felt satisfied, but Wen Qing said, "You're still so young; with your build, how could you possibly wear a formal gown"

Ye Kelan was most annoyed when her figure was attacked. She immediately stood up, puffed out her chest, and pulled in her waist: "We’re almost the same height. You just have slightly fuller breasts than me. I can fit at most two steamed buns. If I don’t have a formal gown to wear, you won't either."

Cheng Anya rubbed her forehead as she watched the scene unfold. Were these little girls comparing their figures

"Aren’t you afraid that your steamed buns might fall off halfway through"

Ye Tianyu burst out laughing, unable to contain his amusement. It was rare for him to laugh this way. Xu Nuo said, "Kelane, how old are you You haven’t even developed yet; why are you so concerned about your figure right now"

Ye Ningyuan said, "Just look at your mother's figure, and you’ll know that yours must be great. Don't worry, my dear."

This statement fulfilled Ye Kelan’s narcissistic desires. Wen Qing didn’t bother to say anything more. Once Ye Kelan was satisfied, she sat down and began to eat gracefully. Xu Nuo shook his head. Finally, the matter of choosing a bridesmaid had been settled. The wedding would take place in just one week. There were more relatives on Ye Feimo’s side than Wen Qing's. Ye Wei and Shiyi said they wanted to come for the wedding; their entire family would be coming together with families from Zhang, Tang, and Lin households as well as friends of Ye Feimo and Wen Qing. They had originally intended to invite twenty tables but, after listing everyone out, it seemed like more people were going to attend than expected, so they invited thirty tables instead.

Ye Feimo and Wen Qing’s wedding was also arranged by the same celebratory event company that handled Tang Shuwen's and Chen Xier's weddings. However, Ye Feimo didn’t go all out like Tang Shuwen did; he wanted a romantic and cozy wedding as his theme. He and Wen Qing were already receiving too much attention. Furthermore, she disliked extravagance, so they needed to strike a balance.

There would be more relatives on the Wen family side, but Wen Qing’s father didn’t invite many of his friends. Mostly it was Wen Qing's friends who were invited, and not many classmates. Long Chengtian also wanted to attend the wedding; he had to come as this was the marriage of his only sister.

Halfway through the meal, Wen Qing’s phone rang, and she slipped out secretly upon receiving it. She roared into the phone with no more patience, "I’ve already told you I’m busy today! Can't you understand Chinese"

"…"

"Training my ass, my sister is getting married. I'm busy; talk to me a few days later."

"…"

“Can’t you live without training for a few days Are you going to die

"..."

"Get lost!" Wen Jing was somewhat annoyed, "You pervert, you lecher, I curse you to get hemorrhoids."

"..."

"Why are you laughing You're really a pervert. If it weren't for the Asian branch telling me that you definitely have the ability to teach me well, I would seriously doubt whether you're just another street thug or if you're even a member of the first terrorist organization."

"..."

"You lecher, scoundrel, rogue..."

"..."

Wen Jing warmly hung up the phone and turned it off. When she turned around, she saw Ye Tianyu playing with his phone. He flashed her a smile when he caught her gaze; Wen Jing’s witch-like face quickly returned to an icy expression without any transition at all, very rapidly.

Eighteen-year-old Ye Tianyu was fully grown except for the somewhat boyish build. There wasn't a single feature on him that would indicate youth. He loved smiling, but his smiles were like frosty winter winds and ice, even sinister. It seemed as though he had been in the dark world too long to remember what sunshine felt like. This impression was most distinct after her trip to London.

She had seen Ye Tianyu twice before with a vivid memory of him, but they never spoke. Because their families were related, she knew who he was. After her trip to London where she experienced another world, when she looked back at Ye Tianyu, she felt an imminent danger.

This danger carried some kind of toxin that seemed to slowly infect one’s soul. When she saw him this time, it felt like déjà vu, yet she couldn’t recall where they had met. It was as if someone among the people she knew shared similar traits with him; however, she couldn't think of who.

It felt very strange.

The only thing she could be certain about was that she disliked Ye Tianyu's smile. His smile seemed to want to pull a pure and innocent person into the dark world, making everyone like him, tainted with black malevolence.

"Why were you eavesdropping on my phone call" Wen Jing asked. She didn't originally intend to address Ye Tianyu, but his smile was too distracting, prompting her to speak up involuntarily. As soon as she did, she regretted it. more enthusiastic after drinking.Three updates today, no more~~~(_)~~~~ Actually yesterday should have been four updates; I accidentally uploaded an extra one.
