"Ken, I think I'd better go back. I'm worried about Weixin being home alone," Zhuang Bao waited in the terminal building, her eyes fixed on the screen, but her heart was concerned about her son.
"Ziyun and my good brothers are with him. There's no problem," Ken patted her shoulder.
Today they were going to Europe for a meeting. Originally, it should have been Ken's secretary, Carly, who accompanied him. But Carly was pregnant, and her husband was not at all willing to let her go, so Zhuang Bao took her place! Of course, this was Ken's arrangement.
Hehe! He had a plan.
"But..."
"Okay, our flight is here. Let's go," Ken pulled her towards the boarding gate.
On the plane, Zhuang Bao slept very soundly. She had no idea that her son and Ziyun were about to take the next flight to follow her to Europe. She also didn't know that as soon as she got off the plane, there would be a wedding waiting for her.
Zhuang Bao's parents and her brothers had already gone to the Brian family's place in the south of France, near the Mediterranean, a few days ago to start making arrangements.
Zhuang Bao and Ken first went to the Netherlands, then to Germany, then to Paris, and finally took a small plane.
Goodness! Running around like this all the way, Zhuang Bao exclaimed that she couldn't take it anymore. She was really too tired!
On this day, before Zhuang Bao and Ken arrived in France, Weixin and Ziyun arrived first.
From a distance, they saw Mr. and Mrs. Brian coming to pick them up at the airport.
"Weixin!" Eve's face lit up with a big smile as soon as she saw her grandson and immediately gave him a hug.
"Hi, Grandpa and Grandma!" Weixin could only get used to her enthusiasm.
"Let's go for a stroll first and come back to pick up others later," Eve took Weixin's hand. "Hi, I'm Weixin's grandma. You must be Chan's secretary, right? You're so beautiful, like a doll. Can I draw a portrait of you someday?"
"Hehe! Eve, don't scare this little girl," Old Mr. Brian led them to the parking lot.
"No, no. I'm very happy that Madam thinks highly of me," Ziyun smiled and said.
"Grandma, you just said there are still people coming?" Weixin changed the subject.
"Yes, it's Ken's older brother, your uncle... Hmm, he's as smart as you. His name is Isaiah Jirensov Brian," Eve introduced.
"Jirensov? Is that his mother's surname?" Weixin, of course, knew about the grudges of the previous generation.
"Yes, he's really hard - working. He not only has to manage the Brian family's business but also take care of his mother's property. Alas, the capable are always busy," Eve didn't want to say too much.
"Humph," Ziyun was a bit unhappy, but not too obvious. She just snorted softly.
"What's wrong?" Old Mr. Brian sensed it acutely.
"Nothing. Maybe it's because I've been sitting on the plane for a long time, and my toes are a bit uncomfortable," Ziyun had to explain like this.
"Is that so? Then let's quickly find a place to sit. You must be hungry too," Eve knew the pain of a woman wearing shoes but not being able to take them off freely. "Maybe we can buy a pair of casual shoes. Then your feet should be more comfortable."
"Let's go! I'm really starving!" As soon as Weixin heard that they could eat, his stomach immediately growled embarrassingly.
"Hehe! Let's eat. I'll recommend the most delicious restaurant in this place to you. Let's go!"
So they talked about delicious food all the way and went to have a great meal.
Later, when they went to pick up Isaiah, Ziyun once thought that Isaiah would say something about her presence again, but unexpectedly, he just nodded faintly as a greeting.
All the way back, he only focused on Weixin or occasionally talked to his father about the company's business.
Whew! Ziyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was pretending to be a gentleman. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be angered by him again.
Isaiah, of course, knew Ziyun's uneasiness. He just thought this little girl was very funny. She would fly into a rage with just a little provocation, but now she was sitting端庄安静. She really looked very funny.
When they returned to the large manor located in the fields and wilderness, it was already dusk. The golden view made Ziyun stunned for a moment.
"So beautiful..." She exclaimed in admiration.
"Can you ride a horse?" Isaiah suddenly asked. Since Weixin fell asleep just now, he had been watching Ziyun looking at the scenery with a dazed expression. He didn't know why he asked such a question.
"What?" Ziyun looked back at him with a dreamy expression. Until she was sure that it was her nemesis talking to her, her expression immediately turned into displeasure. "Don't ruin my good mood. I don't want to talk to a pig today." The first sentence was in English, and the second sentence was in Chinese.
Isaiah was not angry at her rudeness but laughed instead. Then Ziyun snorted and turned her head back to look out of the car window, secretly scolding his boredom.
"We're home!" Old Mr. Brian shouted cheerfully in the front.
The day before the wedding, almost everything was ready.
Zhuang Weixin had almost become the treasure in everyone's heart. In the past two or three days, dealing with those elders every day, he was really a mature - beyond - his - years little guy!
And somehow Ziyun had become Isaiah's temporary assistant, helping him input data!
Alas! Ziyun sighed while typing documents for that unreasonable pig. Humph!
Why? Wasn't she the happiest when Isaiah was in trouble?
How come she was helping him now?
It was all because she loved to play. She was playing games with a group of children. There was no way. The scenery here was just like a postcard, making her involuntarily want to run on the wilderness. Then, on the afternoon of the second day, at a corner, she bumped into Isaiah so hard that his finger was sprained... Alas! How could she have known it would be such a coincidence? Alas! She looked up at the beautiful scenery outside the window and then at that dead pig. Humph!
He was so lucky. After eating, he just leaned on the sofa and fell asleep???
A little later, Zhuang Bao and Ken came back. Because of the cover of the night, Zhuang Bao, who was extremely tired, didn't notice anything wrong at all. She thought this was a villa - style hotel.
She was led into the new room prepared for them by Ken. "Honey, are you hungry?"
"I want to sleep," Her eyes were only attracted by the super - comfortable - looking big bed.
"Okay, you go to sleep first. Get up and eat when you're hungry," Ken kissed her forehead.
It seemed that she had only slept for a while when it was already dawn.
Zhuang Bao was woken up by a familiar voice.
"Mom, get up quickly! I have other things to do," Zhuang Weixin shook her vigorously.
"Oh, let mom sleep for a while longer," She had been especially sleepy recently for some reason. "Ask Ken to take you to school later. I'll take a half - day leave," She turned over and buried herself in the quilt and pillow again.
Weixin really wanted to laugh. His mom still thought they were in Taiwan.
"I don't care about you anymore!" He asked Aunt Ziyun to wake her up and went to be busy himself. Anna had come early in the morning, and so had Max and Don.
Ziyun was not so easy to deal with. "Get up! Get up! Do you want to go wash up by yourself, or should I strip you naked right now?" She forcefully pulled the quilt off.
"Ziyun? Why are you here?" Zhuang Bao became a little more awake.
"Yes, I'm the little maid here to serve you to get dressed," She said meaningfully.
"Why? Ah! Where am I now?" She looked around. It was a strange room, but there were familiar people present.
"Was that Weixin just now?" She asked suspiciously.
"Yes! Yes! Can you get up quickly? There's a huge project to do later," Ziyun pulled her up.
Zhuang Bao was pushed towards the bathroom by Ziyun. "Wash your hair too," Ziyun didn't forget to tell her.
Zhuang Bao had a lot of questions to ask, but she'd better tidy herself up first.
Where was Ken? This was Zhuang Bao's first question when she walked out of the bathroom, but no one answered her.
As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she was immediately surrounded by a group of people. First, they curled her hair, then they put on her makeup. She felt like she had fallen into Alice's dream because Ziyun had disappeared.
When she saw Ziyun again, she was almost starving.
"Here! Eat something first. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if you faint later," Ziyun walked in with a glass of milk and a basket of small pastries.
"Ziyun, why are you dressed so... grandly? And why are these people helping me with my hair and makeup?" Zhuang Bao looked at Ziyun in a light - purple floor - length dress in confusion.
"How about it? Is it beautiful? This is a custom - made one. Anna just brought it over," Ziyun said.
"Anna?" Zhuang Bao felt her head was in a mess.
"Yes! Anna's is light blue, and Sue's is light pink," Ziyun even twirled around for Zhuang Bao to admire.
"Why? Do we have to attend a banquet early in the morning?" Zhuang Bao was really completely confused.
"Yes, by the way, yours is ivory white," Ziyun secretly snickered. Serves her right! Who asked her to keep her story hidden until now.
When Ziyun brought the dressed - up Zhuang Bao downstairs, Zhuang Bao almost fell downstairs when she saw her parents and son downstairs!
And they were all dressed up in their finest clothes. It was so lively!
"Close your mouth. You're about to be a bride. Don't be so unseemly," Zhuang's mother held a white veil in her hand.
"Bride? Me?" Zhuang Bao thought she must still be in a dream.
"Who else but you? Mom, Grandma, hurry up!" Weixin urged.
Zhuang Bao was still in a daze until Zhuang's mother motioned for Zhuang Bao to squat down, put the veil on her head, and the two of them silently felt the tears welling up in their eyes.
"Let's go. Your groom is waiting for you," Zhuang's father bent his arm. "He's very good. You didn't choose the wrong person."
Many of Zhuang's father's worries were calmed down at this moment.
