726: Chapter 721 A Marriage in Grandeur is a Must

There was a three-second silence on the other end of the line.

Shen Ya's breathing even disappeared.

Immediately following, a high-decibel scream nearly pierced Shen Yan's eardrums.

"Brother?!!!"

"You... you guys got the marriage certificate?!"

Shen Yan held the phone a bit further away, a smile of helplessness mixed with doting on his face.

"Good hearing."

"When did this happen? Today?!"

"We just came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Ahhhhhh! I want to see my sister-in-law! Now! Immediately! Right away!" Shen Ya's voice was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.

Shen Yan glanced at Liu Hui beside him, who was amused by his sister's excitement.

"Fine, you pick the place, and I'll bring your sister-in-law over."

"Suiyuan Small Restaurant! Bamboo Hall! I'll go book it now!"

Shen Ya hung up the phone briskly.

Liu Hui smoothed her skirt hem somewhat sheepishly.

"Is Xiao Ya too excited?"

"She's looked forward to this day for a very long time.", Shen Yan took her hand, placing it back into his warm palm, "Let's go, Xiao Ya's sister-in-law, let's go meet our family's great contributor."

Suiyuan Small Restaurant.

One of the most low-key money pits in the city.

What was served here wasn't just food; it was privacy, connections, and status.

Ordinary wealthy people couldn't secure a table even with money.

But when Shen Ya made one phone call and stated the name "Shenyan Group," the manager immediately and respectfully reserved the best Bamboo Hall for them.

This was the weight of Shen Yan's three-character name now.

When Shen Yan helped Liu Hui walk into the private room, Shen Ya was already waiting there.

She was wearing a sharp white pantsuit, her long hair pinned up, revealing a smooth forehead and delicate features.

She was no longer the frail girl who once lay on a sickbed needing constant care.

Now, she was the CEO of "Heavenly Works Creation," the subsidiary under Shenyan Group responsible for the derivative product development and operation of the "Tiangong" project, exuding powerful charisma.

But the moment she saw Liu Hui, all her professional aura instantly melted away.

"Sister-in-law!"

Shen Ya rushed over in one stride, opening her arms to give Liu Hui a solid hug.

The force of it made Liu Hui sway slightly.

"Xiao Ya..." Liu Hui smiled, gently patting her back.

The affection between them had long surpassed that of ordinary friends.

Shen Ya had heard all about the meticulous care Liu Hui provided during the time she was unconscious after waking up.

In her heart, Liu Hui was both a benefactor and family.

"You finally got my brother!" Shen Ya hugged her, her voice carrying a hint of choked laughter, "I waited day and night, terrified that this workaholic would delay a good girl like you!"

Shen Yan watched from the side, a smile playing on his lips.

After they hugged enough, he reached out and gently pulled his sister apart.

"Alright, that's enough."

"Watch your measure."

Shen Ya turned back in confusion, "What's wrong, Brother? I'm hugging my sister-in-law, are you jealous?"

Shen Yan's gaze fell upon Liu Hui's slightly rounded lower abdomen, his voice laced with a deliberately serious tension.

"Don't bump into your future nephew."

The air solidified again.

Shen Ya's eyes slowly widened, her gaze drifting downward.

Her eyes seemed equipped with radar, precisely locking onto that area.

A few seconds later.

"Ah—!!!"

The second scream was three points more powerful than the one over the phone.

"Sister-in-law! You... you're pregnant?!"

Shen Ya's expression was like someone who had just won fifty million in the lottery, or discovered a new continent—surprise, shock, and disbelief all intertwined.

Two streaks of blush rose on Liu Hui's cheeks; she was a little shy, but mostly happy.

She nodded gently.

"Mm, almost four months."

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!"

Shen Ya spun around twice in excitement, muttering continuously.

"Double happiness! This is tremendous double happiness!"

She cautiously leaned closer, looking at Liu Hui's belly as if it were a rare treasure.

"I'm going to be an aunt?!"

"I'm going to have a little nephew or niece?!"

"Brother! Why didn't you say so earlier! Such big news!"

Shen Yan helped Liu Hui sit down and poured her a cup of warm water.

"Didn't I want to give you a surprise?"

"This is a shock! No, it's a surprise! A huge surprise!"

Shen Ya was incoherent, completely in a state of extreme excitement.

She looked from Shen Yan to Liu Hui, the smile never leaving her face.

The once fractured family was finally going to be complete.

And now, a new member was being added.

This was wonderful.

The dishes started coming out one by one.

They were all light and nourishing dishes, clearly ordered by Shen Ya specifically for the pregnant woman.

The family sat together, not discussing any business related to the company, projects, or stocks.

The conversation remained centered around everyday family matters.

"Sister-in-law, how's your appetite lately? Is there anything uncomfortable?" Shen Ya asked solicitously.

"Everything is fine. The nutritionist team in Lingnan is very professional; they take care of everything.", Liu Hui smiled gently.

Shen Yan picked up a piece of fish for Youyou on the side, carefully picking out all the tiny bones.

"Youyou, have you memorized the ancient poems Teacher Wen taught?"

Youyou chewed the fish, nodding vaguely.

"I have!"

She put down her chopsticks, shook her little head like a grown-up, and recited in a childish voice:

"Sun sets behind the mountains, Yellow River flows to the sea. To see a thousand miles further, one must ascend another level."

"Wonderful!" Shen Ya immediately applauded, "Our Youyou is so smart!"

Youyou blushed a little from the praise, her little face rosy.

She looked curiously at Liu Hui's belly and asked softly, "Auntie, is there really a little baby in Auntie Liu's tummy?"

Shen Ya smiled and pulled her close.

"Yes, Youyou is going to be an older sister soon, aren't you happy?"

Youyou nodded vigorously.

"Happy! Then I'll have a little brother or sister to play with 'Qianbao' together!"

The innocent words made everyone at the table laugh.

Shen Ya then looked at Shen Yan.

"Brother, now that you and Sister-in-law have the certificate, when are you planning the wedding?"

Shen Yan said, "No rush. We'll wait until the baby is born and Huihui has recovered well. I want to give her a wedding with no regrets."

Hearing this, Shen Ya's eyes were filled with approval.

"That's right! My sister-in-law is so wonderful, she must marry in grand style!"

She then started talking about her work at "Heavenly Works Creation."

"Brother, you have no idea how much the Lin family father and son admire us now. Old Master Lin Boyuan spends his days at our company, saying he wants to personally witness the birth of a new era."

"The things embroidered by 'tiangong no. 1' are now causing a frenzy in the overseas luxury goods circle. A few days ago, a Middle Eastern prince contacted me through an intermediary, wanting to custom-order a robe embroidered with his family crest, offering eight figures in US dollars."

Shen Yan listened calmly, nodding occasionally.

All of this was within his expectations.

"You and Wu Ya can handle these matters. If you need more manpower, hire them. If you need more money, just say so."
