93: Together forever

Li Xingyu was a bit stunned by Li Xuening's message, but seeing the immense benefits Li Xuening promised, he quickly agreed.

For the next half month, Li Xingyu had no choice but to go home and fulfill his filial duties. After a period of persistent persuasion, Li Xuening's parents also had to accept this fact.

After staying at the Ye family for a while, Ye Xi and her mother returned to Ye Xi's residence.

That day, after Ye Xi finished class, she saw a message from Li Xuening.

"Darling, my parents want to meet your mother. See if you have time."

"I'll discuss this with my mother and get back to you later."

Returning home, she pushed open the door and saw Ye Yaqin busy cooking.

"Mom, didn't we say we'd order takeout? Why are you cooking again?"

Ye Xi tossed her backpack onto the sofa, a hint of concern in her voice.

"Sigh, recently there have been a lot of reports online that takeout doesn't seem very clean. On second thought, I'll just cook. Besides, I'm quite idle at home."

Ye Yaqin, wearing an apron, carried a few home-cooked dishes to the living room table, then called Ye Xi to eat.

At the dinner table, Ye Xi listened to her mother recounting strange stories she saw online, while secretly wondering when to tell her mother that both families needed to meet.

"Xuening's parents want to meet you. Do you have time?" Ye Xi's voice carried a hint of shyness.

Ye Yaqin chuckled, "What? Are you two so impatient that you want to get married?"

Ye Xi was a bit embarrassed to tell her mother that she and Li Xuening indeed had that thought.

Seeing that Ye Xi didn't object, Ye Yaqin could only take it as her silent agreement and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, it's certainly necessary to meet the in-laws."

After discussions among several people, the meeting time for both sets of parents was set for this Saturday.

On Saturday, Ye Xi got up early to get dressed and made up. Ye Yaqin saw her like this and couldn't help but tease, "The ugly daughter-in-law is going to meet her in-laws."

"Mom, I need to correct you on two things: first, I'm not ugly; second, Li Xuening is marrying me."

After breakfast, Ye Xi and her mother arrived at the agreed location. Li Xuening was already waiting for them in her sports car.

"President Ye, you don't even have a car. Should I give you one as a dowry?"

Once Ye Xi sat in the passenger seat, Li Xuening kissed Ye Xi's forehead.

"My mom is still watching. Can you please be careful?"

Ye Xi quickly pushed Li Xuening away. She used to envy others' sports cars for picking up girls and showing off, but after getting rich, she realized that a sports car worth millions was just that.

Ye Yaqin shook her head with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright. It's normal for a young couple who haven't seen each other in a while."

Half an hour later, led by Li Xuening, Ye Xi and Ye Yaqin arrived at a small villa.

Inside the villa, Li Xuening's parents were chatting while washing vegetables.

Hearing the door open, Zhang Jing wiped her hands and reminded Li Xi, "The Ye family is also a prominent family. Speak respectfully and don't try to dominate them. This isn't a business deal."

Li Xi patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Mom, where are you? My darling's family is here."

Hearing Li Xuening's call, both of them wiped their hands and walked out of the kitchen.

Seeing Ye Yaqin, they were slightly stunned. So young, so beautiful?

When they saw Ye Xi's sweet smile, they were momentarily dazed again. They had originally thought their own daughter was the most beautiful, but indeed, there are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.

"Hello, we are Xuening's parents."

"I am Ye Xi's mother, Ye Yaqin."

"Hello, hello..."

Zhang Jing extended her hand, and Ye Yaqin gave a light handshake. She really wanted to ask how the other party maintained her appearance.

Having been informed about Ye Xi's father beforehand, they did not bring up the painful subject.

Zhang Jing glanced at Ye Xi and smiled, "We often hear Xuening talk about this child, Ye Xi. Seeing her today, she truly is outstanding."

"Your daughter is also exceptional. Both girls are very good."

For the next few minutes, both sides engaged in some polite flattery, with neither side mentioning money.

Because they both knew each other's financial strength, either of them could easily cover all expenses if they wanted to.

Seeing both sets of parents chatting and laughing, Li Xuening took Ye Xi's hand and led her to the rock garden and fountain in the courtyard.

As soon as they found a step and sat down, Li Xuening hugged Ye Xi tightly from behind.

"Darling, do you want to marry me? Maybe our parents are discussing this right now."

Hearing Li Xuening say this, Ye Xi pinched Li Xuening's cheek and smiled, "It should be you marrying me, right?"

"No, I think I'm stronger. I've always played the dominant role, so you know."

Li Xuening gently kissed Ye Xi's cheek from behind.

Hearing this, Ye Xi paused slightly. It seemed she was always the one being pushed down.

Ye Xi still stubbornly said, "This question is too profound. Let's talk about it later."

"The environment here is quite beautiful. Shall we explore it a bit?"

Li Xuening applied a little force, and Ye Xi was quickly pinned beneath her.

Ye Xi naturally understood what she meant by 'explore it a bit' and immediately blushed, "Mom and Dad are inside. Can you not mess around?"

"I'll be quick. I can control the time flexibly."

Li Xuening leaned down, aiming directly for Ye Xi's luscious red lips, while her hands also became restless...

Two years later, a grand wedding was being held at a villa on a small island.

Looking at Ye Xi, who sat in front of the dressing table with unparalleled beauty, Lin Keke mischievously smiled, "Xiao Xi, after tonight you'll be a married woman. Should I take advantage now, big sister?"

"Sister Keke, please don't tease me."

Hearing the word 'married woman,' Ye Xi had many naughty thoughts in her mind, all because she had read a lot of improper things recently, like, "Madam, please date me?"

"Little Xi sister's beauty is unparalleled. Putting makeup on your face feels like defiling it."

Lin Keke carefully examined Ye Xi's face and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. She was truly too beautiful.

"Oh, by the way, Sister Keke, how are things going with my cousin? She's the boss, and you're the secretary. Have you two, you know, gotten together?"

Hearing this, Lin Keke immediately blushed and smiled, "Don't overthink it. Nothing's set in stone yet."

Ye Xi chuckled, "But my cousin didn't say that. I think it's not that nothing's set in stone, but rather it's already written in stone."

"Alright, alright, today's your wedding. Why are we talking about me?" Lin Keke continued to do Ye Xi's makeup.

"When you two get married later, I'll give you a big red envelope."

To be honest, this was Ye Xi's first and only marriage. If she wasn't excited or nervous, that would be a lie.

In the past, she fantasized about marrying a beautiful bride when she grew up. Now, she had become the bride herself.

While feeling a touch of sadness, she also felt a hint of excitement, because the system told her that tonight her stamina would be maxed out, much stronger than Li Xuening's.

...

Sunlight spilled over every inch of the small island, casting dreamy light and shadows on the ground.

"Everyone, please make yourselves at home. Eat and drink well."

To display the Ye family's generosity, Grandpa Ye gifted the entire island, along with the manor, to Ye Xi as a wedding present.

One important reason Ye Xi was so highly valued was her exceptional business talent; she was a genius.

Under her management, the Ye family was able to accurately seize various opportunities and avoid all kinds of pitfalls every single time.

Within these two years, all the businesses entrusted to her were managed in an orderly fashion and thrived.

"Dad, the wedding is about to begin. You're getting old, don't drink anymore." Ye Yaqin took the wine glass from Grandpa Ye.

The melodious wedding march slowly began to play, and the guests all stood up, turning their gaze towards the wedding stage.

Ye Xi, dressed in a pristine white floor-length wedding gown, looked like a fairy descended to earth. Delicate lace patterns spread up along the hem, shimmering slightly with her every step.

On the other side, Li Xuening, wearing a crimson wedding dress with golden patterns, slowly walked onto the wedding stage. Her dark, beautiful hair was styled up, and her face was beaming with smiles.

As the two slowly approached each other, Li Xuening's eyes sparkled, misty with emotion.

Seeing that the time was right, the host, with a gentle smile, spoke solemnly, "Ms. Ye Xi, Ms. Li Xuening, today, in front of everyone, you need to make a lifelong commitment to each other."

Ye Xi was also very excited, and her clear, melodious voice rang out across the venue: "I, Ye Xi, take Li Xuening as my wife. Whether in good times or bad, in wealth or poverty, in sickness or in health, I will always be by her side, never leaving, loving her with my whole being."

After speaking, she gazed deeply at Li Xuening and gently squeezed her hand.

Li Xuening's eyes were slightly red, glistening with tears of happiness. She tilted her head slightly, looking at Ye Xi, and responded firmly, "I, Li Xuening, take Ye Xi as my wife. In the days to come, I will share joy and sorrow with her, support each other, and extend this love to the end of our lives."

With everyone's blessings, the wedding lasted for a very long time.

That evening, in the bridal chamber.

Li Xuening was just about to pick up Ye Xi and throw her onto the bed, but Ye Xi was a step faster, princess-carrying Li Xuening and gently placing her on the bed.

She pressed herself against Li Xuening, smiling, "Wife, I'm very strong tonight."

The End.
