Chapter 143   - EXTRA: Lu Family's Reunion + The Grand Wedding

---Lu Family Reunion---

FengJiu was holding MinFeng’s hand as they entered the ancestral house.

"Hey.. don’t be nervous."

MinFeng smiled at her as she bit her lower lip.

"I can’t help but feel nervous. What if they won’t like me?"

FengJiu was till very anxious. Although she was already five months pregnant and everybody in the whole China already knew about her and MinFeng’s relationship, still, the approval of his family was her biggest issue.

MinFeng’s parents were both working at WHO. His father, Lu Xiao Li was the head researcher for different types of virus and its cure while his wife, Lu JingXue was the Head Pharmacist.

That was the reason why Grandpa Lu could only pass his legacy to his two grandchildren.

When they arrived inside, FengJiu’s grip on MinFeng’s hand tightened as she took a deep breath to calm herself.

"My dear granddaughter in law~ you are here!!"

Old Man Lu’s voice reverberated around the house.

Before she could move, she was immediately pulled in a bear hug.

FengJiu smiled and hugged him back.

"Grandpa Lu, Ah Jiu misses you."

MinFeng, who was standing beside her immediately pushed his grandfather away from his wife.

The old man glared at him.

"*scoff* you’re here?"

Old Man Lu snorted.

’This brat!! So possessive!!’

After he suffered countless of failure in MinDe’s hands, Old Man Lu cried and decided to visit his other precious granddaughter to heal his broken heart.

Unfortunately, MinFeng was more savage than MinDe. He brought FengJiu somewhere else, hiding her away from Old Man Lu.

The old man was very frustrated that he wanted to mince both his grandson into meat paste.

He was still thinking of a plan on how he could see his granddaughters in law when his beloved wife called.

Old Man Lu kowtowed to the heavens after receiving the call.

Finally!!

His wife remembered him.

He thought that she already forgotten that she had a handsome husband waiting for her.

He immediately told her everything, pleading to his wife to return home and meet with their granddaughters in law.

"Feng’er... You are already here?"

MinFeng turned his head and saw his grandmother walking towards them.

"This grandson pays respect to grandmother."

FengJiu followed her husband and curtsied formally.

"This granddaughter in law pays respect to grandmother."

FengJiu’s hand was sweating really hard.

MinFeng’s grandmother looked strict.

FengJiu could see her resemblance at her when she was in her Witch CEO persona.

"Mother? Feng’er is already here?"

Lu JingXue peeked her head from the kitchen and saw MinFeng standing near the entrance together with a beautiful woman.

"Mom, this is my wife, FengJiu."

MinFeng pulled FengJiu closer.

"Come! Why are all of you standing over there? Come inside and sit. MinDe might be coming later."

Lu JingXue smiled and hold FengJiu hand.

--------

"Wife, are you thirsty? Do you want to drink tea? How about coffee? Or would you like to taste---me?"

FengJiu almost choked on her tea when she heard Old Man Lu’s shameless words.

She couldn’t help but look at them.

Old Man Lu was fawning at his wife. He was currently looking at her with eagerness.

’What the---’

FengJiu couldn’t help but blush when she thought of dirty things.

MinFeng saw her reaction and whispered to her ears.

"Why are you blushing while looking at them? Mmm?"

FengJiu pinched MinFeng while trying to avoid his eyes.

"Wife~ are you tired? Do you want to lay down on our bed? Do you want to sleep? I can accompany you~"

Old Man Lu was grinning from ear to ear. Now that his wife returned, he wouldn’t have to hold himself back like a hungry monk deprived from eating meat.

Finally, after so many years, his spring returned.

Grandma Lu placed her tea cup on the table and looked at Old Man Lu.

Her face was very beautiful and she looked younger than her actual age.

Every time old man Lu looked at his beautiful wife, he always give thanks to the gods for bestowing him this kind of treasure.

Grandma Lu sternly replied.

"If you are not afraid of loosing your little brother, you can try."

Bang!

Old Man Lu was shot in the heart.

The poor old man could only draw circles at the corner.

FengJiu almost spit her tea after hearing Grandma Lu’s words.

’Woah. Savage!’

"Aiyaaa~ where is your brother ahh?? Why is he not here, yet? Feng’er, call him."

Mother Lu was already accustomed to her parents in law’s normal conversation. She was starting to feel anxious.

FengJiu’s phone vibrated. It was Xiao Mei.

"Ah. Ah Mei emailed me."

FengJiu opened the email and saw Xiao Mei and MinDe sitting at the top of a hill with a caption:

[JUST GOT MARRIED!]

"WHAT?!"

FengJiu was startled and immediately gave her phone to MinFeng.

"Seems like both of them are not coming."

MinFeng laughed and shook his head.

---------

---The Grand Wedding---

"Ah Jiu!! Congratulations!!"

Xiao Mei arrived at the room and saw FengJiu wearing an off shoulder bridal gown.

Today was MinFeng and FengJiu’s wedding.

After FengJiu gave birth to Little Bump, MinFeng immediately organized everything.

Now that Little Bump was already three months old and FengJiu already recuperated after giving birth, MinFeng decided to move forward their wedding day ceremony.

"Ah Mei! You’re here!!"

FengJiu stood up and hugged Xiao Mei. She dearly missed her best friend.

After Xiao Mei got married with MinDe secretly, she was ’kidnapped’ by her own husband, away from Old Man Lu.

But no matter how hard MinDe tried to hide Xiao Mei, she had to go back and attend FengJiu’s wedding.

FengJiu looked at Xiao Mei’s huge tummy.

"When’s the due date?"

Xiao Mei smiled and caressed her abdomen gently.

"Next week. I guess I can’t visit you later. MinDe was always freaking out like a mother hen."

FengJiu laughed.

"MinFeng was also like that."

Xiao Mei opened her bag and took a letter inside. Her face suddenly turned serious and sad.

"YanFei Gege... wants you to read this."

FengJiu’s smile disappeared. There was sadness in her eyes.

It had been a year and YanFei never made appearance in front of her after he saved her from those men.

She tried to ask MinFeng but he just smiled and said nothing. When she asked Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei could only shake her head because she was also oblivious about why YanFei tried to hide from FengJiu.

"I’ll return to the hall. MinDe might freak out again. Ah Jiu, you look so beautiful today."

FengJiu smiled and once again hugged Xiao Mei before the latter left.

FengJiu sat on the chair and slowly opened the letter.

[Dear Ah Jiu,

I would like to apologize for being a failure as a brother.

You must be wondering why I haven’t shown myself in front of you since that time when you were kidnapped.

I couldn’t.

I am eaten by guilt, inside and out. We have known each other since we were kids and you treat me like your true sibling... but I betrayed you.

I betrayed you countless of times already.

I--- I am the one who sabotaged the DNA result conducted by the forensic team.

Do you know why I did that?

Because YanRong is my maternal cousin. She is the only cousin I have. I thought she could change and forget everything but I was wrong.

Ah Jiu...

I’m sorry..

I’m sorry for being a worthless brother.

I hope that someday, you will be able to forgive me.

I hope you find happiness with MinFeng. Congratulations on your wedding day.

Love,

YanFei Gege.]

FengJiu closed her eyes after reading the letter.

She was shocked but she already had a hunch about YanFei’s connection with YanRong.

’Fei ge, I don’t blame you. You just want to protect her. Unfortunately, YanRong is already beyond saving.

Ge, don’t worry... Wherever you are, you are still my beloved brother.’

"Madam, it’s time."

Ming Yue entered the room and helped FengJiu carry her wedding dress.

FengJiu nodded and left with Ming Yue.

When MinFeng saw her walking down the aisle, he could not help but tear up.

He recalled their not so distant past.

The first time he saw her.

The first time he took her.

The first time he fell in love with her.

’So as long as I live I’ll love you

Will have and hold you

You look so beautiful in white

And from now to my very last breath

This day I’ll cherish

You look so beautiful in white

Tonight[1]’

MinFeng and FengJiu stared at each other. They couldn’t help but smile because of happiness.

FengJiu slowly marched towards him. When he held her hand, he could feel his heart swelled, almost bursting out of his chest.

’I may not be the perfect man for you but I will make sure that I will be a perfect husband just for you..’

MinFeng thanked God for giving him his life.... his other half.
