"You didn't buy much, why are you so slow?"

After waiting for more than half an hour, the girls finally came out of the supply and marketing cooperative. Sui Zhichao saw that they didn't have much with them, so he asked them a question.

Shen Mengyin said, "Ji Xiurong said she would be preparing for the wedding in a while, so we looked at the things we would need for the wedding."

Sui Zhichao said, "I was just talking to Yan Xiangli about you two, Ji Xiurong. When are you and Yan Xiangli planning to get married?"

Ji Xiurong wasn't shy at all, and said happily, "We haven't decided yet, Yan Xiangli. When do you think we should have the wedding?"

Seeing Ji Xiurong's expectant gaze, Yan Xiangli couldn't help but lower his head, unsure of what to say.

Sui Zhichao didn't notice Yan Xiangli's unusual mood and continued chatting with Ji Xiurong, "Ji Xiurong, judging from your expression, you want to get married and have a wedding this year!"

"Of course! I've already told my mom that I'm going to bring a college student home with me. After we get married, when Yan Xiangli and I go home, my parents will definitely be very happy."

"Stop talking for now, put your things up here. There are too many people here, let's talk when we get back!"

Zhao Tianshan saw Ji Xiurong carrying two bags and chatting with Sui Zhichao, and couldn't help but say something.

After Ji Xiurong put the things on the carriage, Zhao Tianshan drove the carriage towards the hotel where he was staying.

"Ji Xiurong, you're looking forward to getting married every day now. Are you that afraid of not being able to get married?"

Looking at Ji Xiurong, who was standing next to Yan Xiangli with a big smile, Meng Yue couldn't help but tease her.

"Of course! My Yan Xiangli is so outstanding. What if someone else snatches him away if I don't make a move soon?"

Qin Xuemei said, "Don't worry, we won't fight you for it."

Meng Yue laughed and said, "Ji Xiurong isn't worried about us; he's worried about the girls who will come to Saihanba next year."

Ji Xiurong chuckled but didn't reply.

"Ji Xiurong, you're getting married to Yan Xiangli, aren't you going home for a visit? Marriage is such an important event, you should at least meet both sets of parents and tell your families!"

Sui Zhichao couldn't help but ask the question that concerned him.

Ji Xiurong said, "Saihanba is too remote, and it's inconvenient to go back. I'm okay, but Yan Xiangli's family is in Sichuan. I don't know how long it would take to go back. I think it's the same if we go back after we get married."

Sui Zhichao shook his head and said, "I don't think that's right. Marriage is a very important thing. No matter what, you have to meet the parents. It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you can't skip this process no matter how troublesome it is."

Shen Mengyin nodded in agreement, "I think Sui Zhichao is right. Ji Xiurong, you're too hasty. You need to meet Yan Xiangli's family first, and then take Yan Xiangli home so your parents can meet him. No matter what, when it comes to marriage, parents need to know who they're marrying and what the person looks like!"

Ji Xiurong couldn't help but say, "But Sichuan is too far away!"

"We have to go, no matter how far away it is. It's not like we're at war, with chaos and fighting everywhere. We can't go now. It's just a bit more troublesome and takes a bit more time."

"Yan Xiangli, do you want me to come to your house?" Ji Xiurong asked Yan Xiangli, who was standing to the side.

Yan Xiangli said softly, "If possible, I would like to go back and talk to my family."

Ji Xiurong frowned slightly. She had been planning to hold the wedding in two months, before winter arrived, but now that everyone was saying this, she was having second thoughts.

After thinking for a while, Ji Xiurong realized that she was indeed in a bit too much of a hurry. Such an important event as marriage needed to be arranged more carefully.

“Yan Xiangli, let’s go back to your home this winter. We need to stay indoors during the winter, and we don’t have much to do in Bashang. We’ll take leave and go back home first, then to my home. We can postpone the wedding until next year.”

Ji Xiurong was also decisive and efficient, and arranged things in an instant.

"Whatever you say, I'll listen to you."

Yan Xiangli smiled, feeling relieved. In any case, this matter was temporarily over. In another month or so, his family should have made arrangements for him, and then he could go back and not have to face this anymore.

Yan Xiangli knew he was wrong, but he really didn't know how to refuse. Ji Xiurong was too enthusiastic and didn't ask for his opinion on many things. Of course, Yan Xiangli himself also had a lot of problems. He was afraid that if he refused, Ji Xiurong would ignore him, and he would have to do things like washing clothes and boiling water by himself.

Yan Xiangli isn't exactly a bad person, but he's not a complete scumbag either. While scumbags may play with emotions, they are very resolute in refusing on matters of principle.

Take marriage, for example. A scumbag won't discuss marriage with you. He'll have countless reasons and excuses to refuse you. Yan Xiangli didn't want to get married, but he didn't refuse either. He just showed a little bit of emotion. A sensitive person might be able to guess what he was thinking, but Ji Xiurong, who was immersed in her own fantasy of happiness, didn't pay attention to Yan Xiangli's emotions. So the wedding kept being pushed forward, and it got faster and faster. In the end, everything was ready, but the groom disappeared, leaving a complete mess.

Yan Xiangli is, frankly speaking, the kind of child who is well protected. He comes from a good family and doesn't have to worry about anything. He lives a carefree life every day. Although he looks old, he can't handle many things well.

He handled the marriage with Ji Xiurong very poorly. If you don't want to get married, then make an excuse. If you can't find an excuse, you can at least say so. Given Ji Xiurong's affection for him, if Yan Xiangli had just said he would get married next year, Ji Xiurong definitely wouldn't have objected.

But she deliberately remained silent, neither refusing nor objecting, allowing Ji Xiurong to handle the wedding preparations. Meanwhile, he chose to leave the moment he received his transfer order, as if he were afraid of marrying Ji Xiurong.

When he left, he didn't mention discussing the wedding with Ji Xiurong. It was like a child who smashed things in the house and couldn't find a solution, so he just threw the things outside to avoid trouble, as if the matter had never happened after he threw them away. But little did he know that the things themselves weren't broken and could be used again with a little repair, but by throwing them away, he had ruined them.

Yan Xiangli was like that. He didn't want to stay in Saihanba, and he didn't want to marry Ji Xiurong. That would have been easy to talk about and understand. He could have found reasons, made excuses, or even talked about it openly and honestly. But he acted like a child and chose to leave without saying goodbye, causing Ji Xiurong the greatest possible harm.

To be honest, this kind of person is even more disgusting than Wu Yansheng in matters of the heart; at least Wu Yansheng wouldn't do something like this.
