Chapter 779: The wedding date is set
Chapter 779: The wedding date is set
The air is weird in the living room.
The only sounds are heavy breathing sounds.
A pair of pink diamond rings, worth almost 300 million RMB, is worn on Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing’s fingers. Xie Jing, Xie Hao, and the rest were dumbfounded.
Dong Xuebing looks at Xie Huilan. “Do you like it?”
Xie Huilan looks at the ring. “How can I don’t like it?”
“Great.” Dong Xuebing is happy. “I was afraid you would not like it.”
Xie Huilan touched the pink diamond gently. “You should know me well, and I seldom express my real thoughts. However, I must say I really like this ring. It’s too beautiful. Thank you, Xiao Bing. I did not expect you to get this pair of rings for me. I’m so surprised.”
Xiao Jing sighed enviously. “This is more than a surprise. Look, how well Brother Dong treats you.”
“I know…. Haha….” Xie Huilan laughed.
Xie Hao interrupted. “Brother Dong, that’s 300 million RMB! This is too much! You can do a lot with that amount of money.”
Dong Xuebing doesn’t mind. “This is for your Sis. I don’t mind spending more than that.”
Xie Huilan smiles. “Look at your Brother Dong. He kept saying he was not good with words. From what I see, he is good at making women happy.”
Dong Xuebing argued. “No, I’m not.”
Xie Ran quickly reminds Dong Xuebing. “Brother Dong, you still have not asked the most important question.”
“Yes….” Dong Xuebing quickly got down on one knee and held Xie Huilan’s hand. “Will you marry me, Huilan?”
Xie Huilan smiled and did not reply.
Dong Xuebing asked anxiously. “Will you?”
Han Jing said. “Huilan is trying to play hard-to-get.”
“Sis….” Xie Hao shouts. “Stop being reserved and say yes.”
Xie Jing laughed. “That’s right, Sis. If you make him wait like this, Brother Dong might change his mind.”
Xie Huilan waved her hand and moved her ring finger. “I don’t even know when you put on this ring. I have no choice now. Hehe….”
Xie Hao giggled. “Sis, can’t you give a proper answer?”
Xie Jing added. “That’s right.”
Dong Xuebing is still kneeling, waiting for her answer.
Xie Huilan looks at him and smiles. “Fine… fine…. Yes. Haha…. Get up. The floor is cold.”
Xie Hao, Xie Jing, and the rest cheered.
“Woah! Woah! Woah!”
“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”
“Sis, Brother Dong, you two got to kiss!”
Xie Huilan turned and gave them a stare. “Stop fooling around. I think you all are asking for a beating.”
Xie Hao ignored her warnings. “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”
Han Jing and Xie Guobang laughed.
Dong Xuebing is very shy today and starts to blush. He felt uneasy kissing Sister Xie in front of her family.
“You two must kiss!”
“Hurry up!”
Xie Huilan’s eyes are smiling, and she looks at Dong Xuebing. “They are asking for us to kiss. Let’s kiss then.”
Dong Xuebing tried to say something. “We….”
Before Dong Xuebing could finish, Xie Huilan leaned forward and pressed her sexy lips to his. Her hand went into his hair and pulled him closer. Her tongue went into his mouth, and his face turned red as his tongue fought back.
Xie Jing joked. “Look at Eldest Sis. She is too….”
Xie Hao pretends to cover his eyes. “I am underage! What are you all doing?”
Xie Ran laughed. “Our Sis still claims she is shy. All of us can see how she took the initiative.”
Xie Huilan’s lips parted with Dong Xuebing, and he looked at them with a smile. “Are you all teasing me? Haha…. We had kissed. Are you all satisfied?”
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat, and he was clearly embarrassed.
Xie Hao giggled. “Stop pretending, Brother Dong. I don’t believe this is the first time you two kissed.”
Dong Xuebing gave Xiao Hao a stare. How can he say this when Sister Xie’s parents sit beside him?
Han Jing looks at them sweetly and smiles. “Good….”
“Then the wedding is settled.” Xie Guobang smiles. “Come, let’s start dinner. It’s a happy occasion today. Other than Xiao Hao, let’s drink some alcohol.”
Xie Hao protested. “I can drink too!”
Xie Huilan smacked Xie Hao’s head. “Wait until you are an adult first.”
The dishes quickly filled the dining table.
Xie Jing went closer to Xie Huilan and looked at her hand. “Sis, can I see your ring?”
Xie Hao shouted. “I also want to see!”
“Get lost.” Xie Jing replied. “Wait until I am done first.”
“Here…. Haha….” Xie Huilan did not take off the ring. She lifted her hand in front of Xie Jing.
Xie Jing and Xie Hao moved closer and examined the ring. Xie Jing said enviously. “No wonder this is the most expensive pair of diamond rings in the world. It’s beautiful.”
Xie Hao retorted. “You are saying the obvious. This small ring is worth 300 million! How can it be ugly?”
Xie Ran also moved closer and noticed the difference. “Eh? Brother Dong’s diamond ring is slightly smaller than Sis.”
That’s right.
Han Jing said. “Xiao Bing, you should wear the ring with a bigger diamond. Why did you give it to Huilan?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I think Huilan would prefer the ring with a bigger diamond, and I asked the staff to adjust the size. I am fine with anything, and it’s awkward for a guy to wear a pink diamond ring. Smaller is better as it will not be obvious.”
Xie Jing touched Xie Huilan’s arm lightly. “Sis, I have never seen any guys who treat you better than Brother Dong. He placed you before himself.”
Xie Huilan smiles. “You should say I am good at finding the right man.”
“Hmph. Stop boasting.” Xie Hao said.
“Xiao Hao.” Xie Huilan looks at him. “I think you are asking for it today. Why are you keep talking back to me? I will remember whatever you said and settle the score with you another time. Watch out.”
Xie Hao quickly complains to Han Jing. “Aunt! Sis is bullying me again!”
Han Jing laughs. “She dares?! I will teach her a lesson.”
Everyone laughed.
Han Jing kept putting food into Dong Xuebing’s bowl, and she suddenly realized a problem. “Xiao Bing, we are a family now, and I need to ask you. The rings cost almost 300 million RMB. Where did you get so much money?”
Everyone is curious too.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and replied. “Oh, I won the lottery previously and used my winnings to set up a company with a friend. We sold the company recently, and it’s enough to get this pair of rings.”
Han Jing replied. “But the rings are too expensive. Have you used up all your money?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I don’t mind as long as Huilan is happy. Anyway, I don’t have anywhere to spend.”
“How can she not be happy with it?” Han Jing looks at her daughter. “Look at her. You all might not notice, but I know her well. She is overjoyed now, or she will not be talking so much. Anyone would be happy if she receives a 300 million ring.”
Xie Huilan smiles. “Really? Am I overjoyed now?”
“Yes!” Xie Hao joked.
Han Jing glances at Xie Huilan. “Are you refusing to admit that you are overjoyed now? You had never shown your true feelings on your face.”
“Stop talking about me.” Xie Huilan continues eating her dinner. “Let’s talk about the wedding. How are we going to hold the wedding?”
Han Jing looks at Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Bing, should we hold the wedding in Beijing? Give me your mother’s number so I can discuss it with her.”
“I will listen to you.” Dong Xuebing replied.
Han Jing continues. “We are thinking of not inviting Huilan and your friends and holding a simple ceremony. We will invite some important guests, and you don’t need to worry about it. Huilan’s father will do the invitation and try not to have a wedding convoy. It will be held in Senior Xie’s mansion. The mansion is big and is suitable for holding a small banquet. This is Senior Xie’s idea.”
“It’s fine.”
“Alright. I will decide for you all.”
“Go ahead. I have no objections.”
Dong Xuebing knows there are many considerations if he gets married to Xie Huilan. After all she is the eldest of the Xie Family’s third generation. Maybe even the Chief Secretary, the Prime Minister, other Xie family’s political allies, and even their rivals will be attending the wedding ceremony. If Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing invited their friends over, they would be out of place. This is not the Xie family looking down on their friends. They had no choice because of their status.
They discussed the details and settled on the date.
After dinner, Han Jing and Xie Guobang went upstairs to prepare for the wedding.
Xie Huilan smiled at Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Bing, let’s go to my room to chat.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Ok.”
Xie Hao teased them. “You two must be going in to do some naughty stuff.”
Xie Jing laughed. “You don’t need to say that out.”
“Oh…. Sorry…. Sorry….” Xie Hao covered his mouth exaggeratedly. “I had not said anything. Hehe….”
Xie Huilan looks at her younger Sister and Brother. “You two….”
