Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo
Chapter 53 She Wants to Invite Ning Tingnan to the Wedding
As the lights came on, in the Menghai Pavilion of the Huo Mansion, the courtyard corridors were hung with exquisite lanterns, each of which emitted a warm light, making this elegant mansion look like a fairyland.
At the beginning of the dinner, Ning Tingbei, as the eldest sister-in-law of the Huo family, was very polite. Her smile was gentle and amiable, but behind that smile, there seemed to be a layer of slight alienation.
Huo Chenjun wore a deep sea blue single-breasted suit with excellent texture and smooth lines. His shirt was pure white with a crisp collar and paired with a dark pattern tie, giving him a very entrepreneurial style.
The silver Vacheron Constantin watch on Huo Chenjun's wrist is simple and elegant.
As soon as he sat down, Huo Chenjun spoke enthusiastically, his tone full of heartfelt admiration: "Chenyuan, I saw a report a few days ago that you were named an outstanding young doctor. You are really outstanding!"
Huo Chenyuan smiled modestly upon hearing this. "Brother, you're praising me too much. That's just my job. Speaking of which, it's the Huo Group's rapid business expansion and vast market influence that truly impress me. After all, managing a business empire isn't easy."
Huo Chenjun's expression became more serious. "Next, my sister-in-law Yun Zheng will also participate in the management of the group's affairs. I wish our group better development. Cheers!"
Huo Chenyuan saw Ning Tingbei still snuggling beside his eldest brother, and felt that his eldest brother might not have questioned Ning Tingbei's instigation.
"Yun Zheng," Ning Tingbei said at this time, her voice slightly apologetic, "I admit that when I came to chat with you downstairs at your office that day, some of the things I said were inappropriate. I sincerely hope to reestablish our connection and put aside any unnecessary barriers."
Lin Yunzheng listened quietly to the other party's apology, her expression calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
She knew Ning Tingbei was a man of deep scheming, his every word and action potentially harbouring hidden meanings. Was Ning Tingbei's apology genuine, or was it merely an attempt to smooth things over with Huo Chenjun? It was difficult to determine.
After a few seconds' pause, Lin Yunzheng decided to respond cautiously. She nodded slightly, her voice gentle yet firm, "Sister-in-law, the misunderstandings between us are minor. Don't take them to heart. They're all in the past. I'm deeply honored by your hospitality today."
Ning Tingbei avoided the main point and did not mention a single word about the conspiracy at the lunch that day, including the subsequent contact with reporters.
After Lin Yunzheng finished speaking, she glanced at Huo Chenyuan.
Huo Chenyuan noticed that Ning Tingbei hadn't fully disclosed the truth. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
At the same time, Huo Chenyuan carefully removed the fish bones one by one, his movements skillful and gentle, as if he was completing a work of art. Then, he put the whole piece of fish into Lin Yunzheng's bowl.
Ning Tingbei also watched this scene and felt that Lin Yunzheng's position in Huo Chenyuan's mind might not be easy to shake.
"Sister-in-law, I want to ask something..." Huo Chenyuan was about to speak when Huo Chenjun seemed to realize what he was about to say.
Huo Chenjun suddenly stopped eating and said, "Let me share with you some good news I just learned. Your sister-in-law is pregnant. The Huo family is about to welcome a new life."
In this somewhat subtle atmosphere, the words of elder brother Huo Chenjun were like a spring breeze blowing across the winter lake, bringing a touch of warm sunshine.
Sister-in-law Ning Tingbei nodded shyly, with smiles in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and her face was filled with the happiness of becoming a mother.
"But the doctor said that I'm already in my thirties and this is my first child. The prenatal checkup results in the past few days show that I need to rest more to protect the fetus and not overwork myself."
After saying this, Huo Chenyuan could no longer speak about the matter he originally wanted to pursue.
Huo Chenyuan changed the subject and said to his brother, "Brother, it looks like you're going to be a father soon. I'm looking forward to having the first sip of my nephew or niece's full moon wine!"
As the joy brought by the good news gradually subsided, the discussion at the family gathering naturally turned to more practical topics - the preparations for Lin Yunzheng and Huo Chenyuan's wedding.
The eldest brother, Huo Chenjun, spoke with a hint of solemnity: "Next, let's discuss your wedding guest list. We need to invite some important figures in Yunzhou, as well as business partners, family elders, and long-standing friends. We also need to consider them."
His younger brother, Huo Chenyuan, took over the topic, his eyes gleaming, and he had obviously given it some thought. "Lin Yunzheng and I have already drafted a preliminary plan for this. We want to make the wedding as traditional as possible while retaining a modern feel."
After half an hour of discussion, everyone formed a rough framework of the plan.
The eldest brother Huo Chenjun got up and went to the bathroom.
"When are you two going to take your wedding photos?" Ning Tingbei asked, "We'll need to print photos of the two of you on the wedding invitations."
Hearing Ning Tingbei's question, Lin Yunzheng and Huo Chenyuan smiled at each other, and a tacit understanding flashed in their eyes.
Huo Chenyuan gently held Lin Yunzheng's hand and said gently, "We plan to take wedding photos this weekend. We are choosing a place that best suits our style. After all, wedding photos are an important once-in-a-lifetime commemoration for us, and we hope to leave the most wonderful memories."
"That's great." Ning Tingbei smiled. When her eldest brother wasn't around, her expression changed slightly. "Ning Tingnan also said she wanted to see your photos."
When Huo Chenyuan heard the name Ning Tingnan, he was slightly stunned.
"She may return home in a few days, and I've invited her to the wedding." Ning Tingbei added. Seeing Huo Chenyuan's serious expression, Ning Tingbei continued, "After all, Tingnan is my sister. I think I should invite my closest relatives to share in our family's happy event."
Faced with the idea of his sister-in-law insisting on inviting his ex-girlfriend to attend the wedding, Huo Chenyuan's heart was stirred up.
However, even though he has let go of that past emotional entanglement, he is unwilling to touch it again, especially not to introduce any elements that may cause embarrassment on his wedding day.
He took a sip of tea, his eyes carrying a barely perceptible coldness. He tried to keep his tone steady when he spoke, "Sister-in-law, I understand your good intentions and hope that the wedding will be lively. However, regarding the guest invitations, we just discussed the list of social guests with my eldest brother. As for relatives, I hope we can discuss it again. After all, everyone has a past, and I think we should respect each other's feelings."
Lin Yunzheng's gaze lingered on Huo Chenyuan's profile, where the lines were clear and the edges were sharp.
His eyes were as calm as water, and his emotions were not revealed on his face. This was a kind of maturity and stability he showed in front of others, and also the indifference he showed after going through ups and downs.
Huo Chenyuan is no longer the boy who was heartbroken because of a broken heart.
Huo Chenyuan is now a mature man with a strong heart and the ability to remain calm in the face of adversity.
Those past events that once broke his heart have now gone with the wind.
At this time, the eldest brother Huo Chenjun returned to his seat, and Ning Tingbei regained her gentle smile, "Hubby, my sister will be returning to China in a few days. She said she also wanted to attend the wedding. Chenyuan seemed unwilling, but I want to invite her." Ning Tingbei acted coquettishly while touching her belly.
Hearing Ning Tingbei's words, Huo Chenjun raised his eyebrows slightly, and the look in his eyes was unreadable.
He naturally knew the delicate relationship between Chen Yuan and Ning Tingbei's sister. The history that he didn't want to touch was like an invisible stone, which occasionally stirred ripples in his heart.
But seeing Ning Tingbei's slightly coquettish look, especially the action of stroking his belly, he was reminding him of the existence of the child.
After a moment of silence, Huo Chenjun said softly: "Dear, I completely understand your desire for a family reunion."
