Chapter 448: Chapter 448: There’s a Little Sister

Jiang You hugged his waist, her whole being snuggled in his arms, looked up, and said: “Even if there was a chance, I wouldn’t leave. I’ve decided to stick with you for this lifetime. In short, don’t think about shaking me off, you won’t be able to.”

Gu Beiyan draped one arm over her slender shoulder, looked down at her, and said: “How could I bear to shake you off? I’ve waited for you for over twenty years; it wasn’t for nothing.”

“Alright, let’s go eat. You need to eat well to have the energy to take care of business properly.”

With that, he wrapped his arm around her and left the room.

Jiang You, laughing, said, “What should I do, Beiyan, I feel that I’m corrupting you.”

Gu Beiyan let out an “Mm” and said, “Isn’t it quite normal to be corrupted by you since we’re sharing the same bed?”

“That seems to make sense.”

—

In the blink of an eye, there was only one day left until the wedding.

On this day, Jiang You returned to live at the Jiang Family Mansion.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhongqian and Nan Jia returned to the country two days earlier.

After all, Jiang You was the only girl in the Jiang family, and with her parents gone, it was fitting for them, the elders, to return.

“Second Uncle, Second Aunt, thank you for taking time out from your busy schedules to come to my and Beiyan’s wedding.” Jiang You hugged Nan Jia’s arm and said with a chuckle.

Nan Jia patted her hand, “Silly child, what are you talking about? It’s only right that we come back. Seeing you get married makes Second Aunt very happy.”

Jiang You was like half a daughter to her.

“Soon you’ll become someone’s wife. You can’t be as carefree as you used to be; you need to tone it down a bit.” Nan Jia said gently, “However, given Beiyan’s love for you, there probably isn’t much need for you to change anything. What’s most important is that you’re happy yourself.”

Jiang You replied, “Don’t worry, Second Aunt, I know my limits.”

Nan Jia suddenly expressed a bit of emotion: “In the blink of an eye, you’re getting married. Suddenly, it feels like time has gone by so fast. In my memory, you’re still just a little girl. I think the one who will miss you the most is your Grandma. Don’t be fooled by her constantly urging you to get married; she just wants you all to be happy, to have your own families, so she can have peace of mind.”

Speaking of the Old Madam, Jiang You’s nose did turn a bit sour.

“Don’t worry, Second Aunt, even if I’m married, I’ll often come back to keep Grandma company.”

Actually, she didn’t want to leave Grandma either, but fortunately, she wasn’t marrying far away.

At this moment, Jiang Nanche walked in.

He called out to Nan Jia and Jiang Zhongqian, “Mom, Dad.”

However, barely had his behind touched the sofa when he heard his mother say, “Jiang Nanche, now the only one left unmarried in the Jiang family is you.”

He paused for a moment and then said, “Who says that? Jiang Yue isn’t married yet either.”

Nan Jia replied, “What, you want to compare yourself to him? If he wanted to get married, he could find someone casually and get married right away. What about you?”

Jiang Nanche: “…”

“But Mom, you never usually meddle in my affairs, why suddenly today the change?”

“You must have gotten some kind of shock, right? ”

Nan Jia glared at him without anger, “I want to be a mother-in-law; want to be a grandma; isn’t that allowed?”

Jiang Nanche’s brow twitched at her words, “Mom, can you not be so scary?”

He turned to look at Jiang Zhongqian, who had remained silent, and said, “Dad, could you manage my Mom? I think she’s seriously ill.”

However, what he got in return was a gentle rebuke, “Brat, how can you speak about your mother like that!”

“…”

Jiang Nanche pouted, “Turns out, I see clearly now, my status in this family is genuinely low.”

Jiang You had been silently listening on the side and added, “You just figured that out today?”

Jiang Nanche shook his head and simply stopped talking; the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made.

At this point, a child’s soft voice could be heard.

“Great-grandma, I’m here!”

But the voice was heard without seeing anyone.

The Old Madam happened to be coming out of her room at this moment, just in time to hear the shout.

“Is it my dear great-grandson?”

The Old Madam walked over with a brisk step.

Jiang Nanche looked at the Old Madam and said, “Grandma, your hearing is really good.”

Soon after, a small figure darted in from the doorway.

However, when he got to the Old Madam, he stopped on a dime.

Then he gently lunged forward to hug the Old Madam’s legs.

“Great-grandma, did you miss me?”

The Old Madam laughed heartily and said, “Of course I did. It looks like our little Yimo has grown taller, hasn’t he?”

Su Yimo nodded, “That’s right! I’m the tallest kid in my class now.”

“Really? That’s great.”

The Old Madam held his hand and walked over to an adjacent chair to sit down, then pulled him onto her lap.

“You’ve not only grown taller, but heavier too.”

“Mommy says, to grow tall you need to eat well, that’s why I’ve been eating a bit more recently.”

The Old Madam patted his little cheek, full of joy, “What a good kid.”

Then, Su Yimo looked over at the Jiang Zhongqian couple and greeted them obediently.

“Hello, Second Uncle and Second Aunt.”

“Little Aunt, Little Uncle.”

Just then, Su He strolled in from outside.

Once Su Yimo got out of the car, he ran in by himself.

“Grandma, Second Uncle, Second Aunt.”

Su He looked at them and greeted them.

The Old Madam looked at her, also beaming.

“Ah Yan didn’t come with you?” the Old Madam asked.

Su He replied, “He’s busy at the company, probably won’t finish until later in the evening.”

Nan Jia chimed in, “It’s understandable for Ah Yan to be busy; after all, he’s running two companies.”

Jiang Nanche sighed, “So, my brother should be wealthy.”

“That’s because you didn’t tag along with your brother at the company, which nobody else should be blamed for!” Nan Jia said.

Jiang Nanche said, “But there’s no freedom in that. I don’t want that; I choose freedom.”

“…”

Jiang You pulled Su He into a seat and asked, “Sister-in-law, are you staying with me at the estate tonight?”

To be honest, although she was prepared to get married, she was still a bit nervous.

Su He nodded.

“That’s great! Sister-in-law, let’s sleep together tonight, alright?”

“I don’t have any problem with that.”

“I know, the problem is my brother. Don’t worry, I’ll handle him.”

Su He smiled, saying nothing more.

Everything for the wedding was prepared; there was nothing they needed to worry about.

Just waiting for tomorrow to send her off to the wedding was all there was to it.

By the afternoon, Lan Yan also arrived at the Jiang Family Mansion.

By evening, the traditional Chinese wedding dress for the bride pickup also arrived early.

The entire Jiang Family Mansion was decked out starting from the afternoon, with the housekeeper leading the preparations, giving it a festive atmosphere.

At 7:30, Jiang Yan finally appeared at home.

The man looked at the people in the living room and called them one by one, “Grandma, Second Uncle, Second Aunt.”

The Old Madam looked at him and responded, “You’re back just in time, we’re about to start dinner.”

Jiang Yan glanced around the living room but didn’t see Su He.

With a father-son intuition, Su Yimo said, “Dad, stop looking, Mom’s in the study answering a phone call.”

“Little guy, how do you know your dad is looking for your mom?” The Old Madam asked with a smile.

Su Yimo replied, “Because every time Dad comes home, if he’s not with Mom, the first thing he says is to ask where Mom went.”

This was a conclusion he’d come to.

Jiang Yan went to the study, opened the door, and walked in, seeing Su He standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, still talking on the phone.

He walked over and hugged her from behind.

He didn’t say anything, just hugged her, resting his chin gently on her shoulder.

Su He knew someone had come in and saw his reflection in the glass window.

She turned her head to glance at him, then raised her hand to pat his head.

Meanwhile, she said to the person on the phone, “Alright, I know, I’ll have someone send you the plan in these two days, let’s leave it at that.”

Jiang Yan saw her hang up the phone and then asked, “Whose call was it?”

He’d heard a man’s voice on the phone.

Su He said, “It was my senior, about matters at the research institute.”

She turned around in his embrace to face him, asking, “What’s the matter with you? Why do you seem a bit unhappy?”

He said, “Nothing, just wanted to hug you.”

Su He squinted her eyes, “Liar, is it because Jiang You is getting married and you’re feeling down?”

After she said that, Jiang Yan didn’t speak.

She curled her red lips, “She’s not marrying far away, you don’t have to be like this.”

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, “I’m not overthinking, I know she’s not marrying far away, but there’s a feeling, like having raised a flower, ultimately needing to give it to someone else, there’s a slight annoyance in my heart.”

Su He smiled lightly and said, “You’ll experience this feeling again in the future, better get used to it ahead of time.”

“In the future?”

“You’re wanting a daughter, right? When she grows up, she’ll also get married. Plus, a daughter is a piece of your heart, you might be even more annoyed in the future.”

“…”

In the next second, he reacted, “Are you pregnant?”

Su He shook her head, “No, you’re overthinking. I was just giving you an example.”

“Don’t just throw out examples.” Jiang Yan pulled her closer by her waist, “If she wants, I can take care of our daughter for a lifetime, or find a son-in-law to stay at home, then she wouldn’t have to marry out.”

Su He listened to him and laughed, “That thought isn’t impossible; hope your dream comes true.”

“Alright, let’s go down for dinner.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the study was pushed open again.

Su Baobao’s innocent voice suddenly came, “Mommy, Daddy, dinner is ready.”

Seeing them in an embrace, Su Baobao said, “Oops, sorry, Mommy and Daddy, I didn’t know you were being intimate.”

Saying that, he sensibly turned around.

The couple looked at his small back figure and both laughed.

“Mommy, Daddy, why don’t you continue? I can go down and tell Grandma to wait for you.” Su Baobao said considerately.

Su He walked over, her hand landing on his little head, ruffling it, “Alright, let’s go down for dinner; what are you thinking about all day long?”

Su Baobao looked up, gazed at her, and said with a giggle, “Mommy, I’m not thinking about anything; just wondering when I’ll have a little sister.”

Su He chuckled, “That’s still far off, keep wondering.”

“Huh? How long do I have to wait?”

The little guy’s face instantly scrunched up.

Su He shrugged, “I don’t know, it’s all about fate.”

Jiang Yan bent down, lifted him up, and carried him.

“Adults’ matters, don’t worry about them, go eat.” He said.

The little guy hugged his neck, pouted, and said, “Oh, alright~”

…

After dinner.

“Brother, my dear brother, my good brother, please say yes? Will you?”

Shortly after dinner, Jiang You went to find Jiang Yan.

She was asking him to let Su He spend the night with her.

“Brother, you’re always with my sister-in-law, lend her to me tonight, it’s not a loss for you. Plus, tomorrow’s the most important day of my life; fulfill this one request, will you?”

Jiang You was holding onto his hand, unwilling to let go.

“Brother, dear brother…”

Jiang Yan looked at her with disdain, “Let go of my hand, and talk properly, normally.”

Jiang You immediately let go, knowing when to fall in line.

“Okay.” She pouted and said, “When I’m talking properly, you need to listen properly too.”

Jiang Yan said in a deep voice, “Which eye of yours saw me not listening properly?”

“Alright, then give me an answer, I’m nervous, I need my sister-in-law with me tonight.”

“Why are you nervous? You’re so familiar with Gu, and you’ve been registered for ages; now you’re nervous, are you sure you’re not fooling me?”

“Those two feelings are different.”

“What’s different, tell me, I’m listening.”

“It’s just…”

Jiang You couldn’t find the words.

Just then, Su He returned from the yard.

She immediately started complaining, “Sister-in-law, look, my brother is bullying me!”

Jiang Yan looked at her speechlessly, “How am I bullying you? Don’t wrongly accuse me here.”

Jiang You ran over, hugged Su He’s arm, “Sister-in-law, my brother won’t agree to lend you to me for the night.”

Su He glanced at the brother and sister.

“This was agreed upon, I’m not participating.” She said to Jiang You.

Jiang You: “My brother’s so hard to deal with; I thought he’d soften up since tomorrow’s my big day, but who knew when it comes to you, sister-in-law, he wouldn’t be soft at all.”

Su He: “…”

“Sister-in-law, your word works wonders; I think if you agree, my brother wouldn’t dare object.”

The man called her full name sternly, “Jiang You, are you being bold?”

Su He was silent for a moment, then turned to Jiang Yan, “Why don’t you sleep alone tonight, if you really can’t sleep, go sleep with our son.”

Jiang Yan: “I’ll have insomnia.”

Jiang You: “Brother, you’ve slept alone before, didn’t seem like you had insomnia. Even if you do have insomnia now, it’s not a big issue, it’s just one night, endure it. After all, you’ve worked overnight before; if you really can’t, you could just work overtime.”

Jiang Yan glared at her, “Shut up.”

Jiang You nodded.

In any case, she achieved her goal, so nothing more needed saying.

“…”

At ten p.m.

“You’re really leaving me to accompany Jiang You?”

Su He looked at him, “At this point, stop arguing with her.”
