Chapter 12 A Pure White Wedding
"Mom, what do you think of this house?"
Pushing open the door, a small south-facing room came into view for the four of them. A gentle breeze stirred the curtains, bringing a refreshing coolness.
The small courtyard at the end of the road is also planted with various flowers and plants, and the sunlight makes the yellow chrysanthemums shine brightly.
"Xiao Gan, this house is too big. Your dad and I have lived in the old house for half our lives. There is no need to move to a new house."
"Don't say that. I bought an apartment in the building across the street. It's too far away for me to take care of both of you."
Lu Mo walked last; this was a room she and Liu Gan had searched all over Jinchuan City before finally finding one.
The requirements aren't high, but there aren't many communities in Jinchuan that can offer both garden villas and large single-level apartments at the same time.
But after asking around, I found one store that was selling, so I skipped the negotiation and just swiped my card.
After closing the door, the two elderly people sitting on the sofa began to show concern for the young woman.
"Xiao Mo, you've had a tough time lately. That kid Gan was being naughty and insisted on dragging you over here."
"It's alright, Auntie. We're not usually that busy with work."
The air was still pleasant in late autumn, and the round table in the courtyard was filled with all kinds of seafood.
Now that the fishing season has just opened, Liu Gan has even bought seven or eight flower crabs, which are the father and son's favorite food.
The two elderly people have been eating well for the past few months, and they are quite pleased to see the two children eating.
At the beginning of this month, the two elderly people had already seen Liu Gan post his marriage certificate on his WeChat Moments. If Liu's father hadn't taken a look that morning, they would still have been kept in the dark.
"Xiao Mo, when are you two going to have your ceremony? You should find a time for both sets of parents to meet."
"Mom, we can see each other anytime we want. I bought a similar apartment for her parents in the building next door. How about we go out for dinner tonight?"
"Alright, we can't forget about that either; we need to be mindful of etiquette."
Today, Liu Gan also gave Lü Mo a day off. Both sets of parents needed to arrange moving companies, and Liu Gan, as the boss, also had to take care of the investment company.
"Mr. Liu, all the stocks we bought yesterday have hit their daily limit!"
"Mr. Liu, the short drama we invested in last month officially launched today, and it's already surpassed ten million views!"
"Mr. Liu..."
Liu Gan doesn't like coming to the company, partly because he's really not good at investing and just shares some ideas based on his memories from his previous life.
On the other hand, he increasingly felt that the job was not challenging at all; all he did all day was sign, sign, and sign some more, and his pen was becoming increasingly difficult to use.
Ma Ye has been promoted to general manager, in charge of all company affairs. Whenever Liu Gan returns from outside, he can see that this guy is busy as a spinning top.
But he never complained. After all, with a 10% weekly bonus and a million-dollar annual salary, Ma Ye was full of energy even without sleeping.
"Mr. Liu, didn't you and your wife go to visit the elderly? I can manage things here by myself."
Upon entering the chairman's office, Ma Ye instructed his secretary, Zhu Jin, to serve Liu Gan tea.
The entire office was spotless and clean, with a faint sandalwood scent just like the one he had smelled at the restaurant by the sea.
It's said to be a folk remedy obtained by Ma Ye, which helps to calm the mind and relieve work stress.
But Liu Gan didn't know what kind of pressure he needed to relieve.
"The proposal venue you found last week was great. Luckily, Xiao Jin arranged a makeup artist, otherwise your sister-in-law would have beaten me up."
Over the next two months, I'll be preparing for my wedding. If you're feeling any pressure, just let me know, and I'll arrange a few more assistants for you.
Upon hearing that more people were to be added, Ma Ye immediately refused, saying that too many people would make the whole company chaotic.
"No need, Brother Liu, you can just stay with your wife. I can manage here. Too many people would affect the year-end bonus."
"It's alright, I won't shortchange you on the money I promised."
Liu Gan transfers hundreds of millions of yuan into the company account every month under the guise of consumption, but the money in the account is like a rabbit in a burrow; last week's amount was already half of this week's.
As chairman, he didn't think hiring a few more people would have any impact.
But every time Liu Gan came to the company, he felt that the employees were always staring at the computer and their hands were constantly moving, and that look was very familiar.
Little did they know that Ma Ye was almost crying from exhaustion.
"Brother Liu, has the date been set yet? Do you need me to help you book a venue?"
"No need. It's already bad enough that you're busy at the company. Your sister-in-law and I will take a trip around Jinchuan whenever we have time."
"No, Brother Liu, you can rest assured to leave this to me. The flu is severe right now. I'll contact all the major venues in the city and come over in person with the photos."
Unable to resist the guy's insistence, Liu Gan had no choice but to relinquish power again, enjoying the leisurely feeling of having someone help him with everything.
That evening, the two families also set a time.
At the end of November, Jinchuan was not too cold yet, and people were still able to keep in touch with relatives and friends.
The next day, as soon as Ma Ye arrived at the company, she brought over the photo album, which included not only pictures of the venue but also sample wedding dresses from various photo studios.
Seeing Liu Gan nod, the general manager, who had been busy running around, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Liu Gan, you're getting married tomorrow, are you nervous?"
"It's alright. It's my first time getting married, so it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous."
It all feels so unreal, like a dream.
"People online say that happy days are like a daydream."
Oh, by the way, this is my test result from today, let me show it to you.
Two bars were placed on the table. Lu Mo's attitude was very calm, but the expectant father was jumping and skipping excitedly in the living room.
Not satisfied, he picked Lü Mo up from the sofa, a few tears falling onto his wife.
"Don't tell anyone tomorrow. Mom said that too many people shouldn't know about the first three months of pregnancy."
"Don't worry, your husband knows what he's doing!"
Jinchuan City wasn't very cold in early winter, perhaps because the sun was shining brightly, making the groom, who got up early to pick up the bride, feel warm all over.
As the groom's right-hand man, Ma Ye naturally joined the ranks of the best men.
However, most of Liu Gan's classmates did not come. Perhaps it was because it was almost the end of the year and all the companies were busy, and the wedding gifts were sent to the bride through intermediaries.
"The bride needs to hear the most enthusiastic cheers!"
The groomsmen outside the door mustered all their strength, and the security door was pulled down as if it were made of paper.
Inside the house, the mother-in-law wore a smile and kept saying "out with the old, in with the new."
But this door was also newly installed by Liu Gan's people; even if it was old, it was only two months old.
"Let's go, honey, let's go get married!"
"good!"
Eighteen Maybachs lined up and drove all the way to the coast. Liu Gan chose the members-only seaside restaurant where the two had their first candlelight dinner.
When the female manager heard that Liu Gan wanted to book the entire venue, she didn't even mention the price and immediately arranged for the wedding company's staff to move in.
Ten round tables were filled with relatives from both sides, and the flowers around them were all clean white roses, which Lü Mo had personally ordered.
The entire venue was pure white, except for Liu Gan, who was wearing a light gray suit.
Former boss Chen Xi also shamelessly joined in the fun—no, now he's Liu Gan's tenant.
"Groom, please put the diamond ring on the bride's finger!"
Amid cheers from the crowd, Liu Gan took out a diamond ring from his pocket and put it on Lü Mo's hand, while the four parents behind him were moved to tears.
Three times Liu Gan turned around, he saw smiles on his parents' faces, much happier than when he was serving tea.
"Liu Gan, you can't bully me after we're married!"
"My lovely wife, shouldn't you call me something else?"
"There are too many people, let's talk about it when we get home!"
