Feng Jia Li let the auntie set the table and soon everyone was having a meal together.
Throughout the meal, Feng Jia Li continued to chat with Yun Shu, making her feel welcome. After all, both her husband and father-in-law were not very good at talking.
Feng Jia Li noticed that Yun Shu seemed to like the boiled fish that she had prepared and continued to pile up the dish in the girl's bowl.
Yun Shu looked at her mother-in-law with relief.
Although she was still adjusting herself to the situation, Feng Jia Li made her feel welcome. At least, what she was afraid of did not happen.
"Now that the two of you have gotten your certificate, naturally, we will have to discuss your wedding ceremony," Feng Jia Li said. She looked at Yun Shu and smiled. "Yun Shu, when will your mother be free? We should meet up and discuss this matter together."
Yun Shu hesitated. She only obtained a marriage certificate with Qi Zheng to avoid being set up on another blind date by their elders. They had never discussed anything about a wedding ceremony.
"Is it possible to meet your mother next weekend?" Feng Jia Li said. She glanced at her son and sighed. "Mom is anxious. As an elder, we were supposed to pay a visit to your place and discuss your marriage. Who knows that Qi Zheng would be impatient and straight away go to get a wedding certificate."
"That... Mom, I will have to ask my mother first," Yun Shu said.
"Then, you go ahead and talk to your mother," Feng Jia Li said. "If it's convenient, Mom will ask Qi Zheng to book a private room at the restaurant."
Yun Shu glanced at Qi Zheng. Seeing that he was not saying anything, she then lowered her head and continued to eat.
It seemed that once they are alone, she will have to discuss the wedding with him.
After the meal, Qi Xi Feng called his grandson to the study to play a game of chess with him.
Meanwhile, Yun Shu continued to accompany her mother-in-law for a chat.
As time passed by, Yun Shu was no longer as tense.
Feng Jia Li loved to talk and her warm personality made it easier to get along with.
Feng Jia Li heard that Yun Shu was a wedding planner and was interested to hear many fascinating stories about this business.
The more Feng Jia Li spent her time with Yun Shu, the more she was satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
She began to think that her son was quite smart for tricking Yun Shu to get a marriage certificate with him.
As Qi Zheng had mentioned previously, it was difficult for someone like him to get married. Each of his relationships in the past did not last long because he was too busy as a doctor.
Now that he had married Yun Shu, the girl will have no other choice but to stay with him.
It was hard for him to bring home a girl. He might as well tie her to him so that she could not escape.
As she looked at her daughter-in-law, Feng Jia Li reminded herself to look after Yun Shu so that she would not lose in this marriage.
Feng Jia Li brought Yun Shu around for a tour of the house and finally stopped as they arrived in Qi Zheng's room.
Just then, Auntie Ye came and announced that someone was looking for her.
Feng Jia Li excused herself, leaving Yun Shu alone in Qi Zheng's room.
Yun Shu took a deep breath and finally had a chance to relax.
She walked around the room and started to look around. On the bookcase were a few photographs of Qi Zheng when he was younger.
Yun Shu stared at a photo of him with his friends in their basketball uniform for a long time. Then, she started to look at other photos as well. At the side was another photo of him and his parents in front of his university. Then, there was also a photo of him during his graduation.
Looking at them was as if watching him grow up.
"Where's my mom?"
The voice snapped her out of her trance. Yun Shu turned around and saw that Qi Zheng was standing at the door.
His gaze made her panic. Yun Shu was worried that Qi Zheng would think that she was trespassing into his room.
"I'm sorry. Your mom brought me around the house and left me here to answer a phone call," Yun Shu quickly explained herself. "I did not mean to pry or anything."
"It's alright. You can take a look if you want to," Qi Zheng said.
Yun Shu had thought that he was going to turn around and look for his mother. However, Qi Zheng entered the room and stood beside her.
Subconsciously, Yun Shu began to stiffen.
"Are you able to adapt well?"
"It's alright," Yun Shu said. "Your mother is very friendly." A thought came to her mind. Yun Shu turned to face him and asked, "Your grandfather... He is not just a soldier, is he?
Qi Zheng looked at her, feeling amused. "Why do you think that way?"
"The air around him was a little different." Yun Shu bit her lips. "He's... a little scary."
Qi Zheng laughed, surprising Yun Shu.
From the first time she met Qi Zheng, the man often had a serious look on his face. It seemed that this was the first time that she had seen a genuine smile on his lips.
"You are right." A faint smile curled on his lips. "My grandfather is the military chief. But it's not wrong to say that he's a soldier."
A chief! No wonder she felt that her grandfather-in-law was too fierce!
Yun Shu watched him helplessly. She had a feeling as if this man was a trickster.
"But you don't have to be afraid of him," Qi Zheng continued. "My grandfather likes you."
Yun Shu recalled Qi Xi Feng's piercing gaze and felt unconvinced. "Really?"
"Otherwise, with his temper, my grandfather would definitely kick you out of the house," Qi Zheng said. "Don't worry. You can just be yourself. As long as you can help me to coax him, it's alright."
She did not know what someone like her could do to coax his grandfather.
Yun Shu opened her mouth to ask about their wedding reception when Feng Jia Li returned to the room.
"Qi Zheng, Yun Shu."
The two of them turned around and saw Feng Jia Li at the door.
"Mom." Qi Zheng nodded.
Feng Jia Li did not look at her son for too long. She walked over to Yun Shu's side and placed a small purse in her hand. "Yun Shu, take it."
Her expression changed as she felt the weight in her hand. "Mom, what is this?"
"Open it and take a look."
Yun Shu glanced at Qi Zheng before she looked into the purse.
Inside was a bright and beautiful jade bracelet.
Just looking at it made Yun Shu stunned.
