Early the next morning, just as the sky was beginning to light up, Yan Haikun and the others, who had rushed over from Fengcheng overnight, arrived at the villa on the south side of the city.
As soon as they entered, they saw the kids doing exercises with several bodyguards. The sight of a few tough guys leading two little kids in doing fitness exercises was really a bit comical.
At first sight of their grandparents, the two kids wondered if they were dreaming! They rubbed their eyes and, finding that the people in front of them were real, immediately threw themselves away from the bodyguards and rushed over cheering.
Picking up the two kids, Yan Haikun asked knowingly, "Where are Acheng and Zixi?"
Wei Shu replied, "Back to the chairman, the third young master and his wife are still sleeping."
Yan Haikun grinned from ear to ear. He inexplicably felt as if he was going to hold another grandchild soon. Leading the kids back into the house, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li were also surprised that Yan Haikun and the others had come so quickly.
Sitting down cheerfully at the dining table, Yan Haikun said, "Getting married is a big event, so of course we should take it seriously. We've been on a plane and in a car all night. We're hungry. Get us something to eat."
Aunt Li also grinned and said, "Okay! It'll be ready soon!"
After Yan Haikun and the others had finished breakfast, Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng got up. Seeing everyone in the living room, Xu Zixi was also very surprised. She stepped forward and hugged Xie Shi and Yin Shulan, and then she felt a bit embarrassed.
"I didn't expect to trouble Uncle Yan to rush over overnight. If I had known, we would have informed everyone at a different time."
"No no no. Such good news must be informed to us immediately. We're not tired at all. Really." Yan Haikun said, struggling to keep his eyes open.
Even so, Yan Yincheng still asked his parents and Xie Shi to go back to their rooms to rest first and recharge their spirits before discussing the wedding. After all, the three of them were not young anymore and really couldn't take such a toll.
In the evening, after dinner, the whole family sat down seriously to discuss the details of the wedding.
"On the way here, I checked the almanac. The best day in the first half of the year is ten days from now. It's a day when everything goes smoothly and is very suitable for a wedding." Yan Haikun cleared his throat and said, "Acheng, Zixi, what do you think?"
"You're really going too far, Yan Haikun. Ten days is too rushed, isn't it?" Xie Shi said discontentedly, "It takes more than ten days to customize a wedding dress. I don't want my daughter to be wronged in any way! We want a one - of - a - kind wedding!"
"I didn't say I was going to wrong her..."
It was quite funny. Although the three of them had come together, they had held back from saying a single word related to the wedding on the way. It was not until they arrived in Haicheng that they began to discuss it enthusiastically.
With her mother backing her up, Xu Zixi was very confident. She just smiled faintly and said nothing, watching Xie Shi strive for the greatest benefits for her from the Yan family.
After a heated argument, the wedding date was finally set three months later.
However, when it came to the location of the wedding, the three elders all agreed that it should be held in Fengcheng. But Yan Yincheng had his own ideas. He held Xu Zixi's hand and said:
"Haicheng is of great significance to the two of us. I hope we can hold our wedding here. I also hope that I can plan this wedding myself. I will surely give my bride a wedding she will never forget."
Since he had said so, what else could the three elders say? They could only compromise.
Then, they began to discuss the details of the wedding merrily. For example, Xie Shi planned to invite the great chefs from the Chefs' Association to cook for the wedding that day; Yin Shulan planned to invite many well - known oil painters to paint on - site at the wedding; and Yan Haikun planned to invite many important figures from Country C to attend the wedding...
The living room was filled with the passionate voices of the three elders imagining the future.
Yan Yincheng wanted to speak up several times. He wanted to say that they had just agreed that he would plan the wedding. So what was going on now?
Xu Zixi held back her laughter and whispered in his ear, "Come on. Let Mom and Dad have their fun. They're happy."
Although the wedding date was set three months later, it still seemed urgent for wedding preparations.
Moreover, the wedding was to be held in Haicheng, which was a bit inconvenient for the Yan family, whose roots were in Fengcheng, and for Xie Shi.
Finally, the three of them decided to stay in Haicheng temporarily. Firstly, it would be convenient for wedding preparations; secondly, they could see their little grandchildren at any time; thirdly, Xie Shi could also prepare to open a branch of "Poetic Feelings" in Haicheng. It was really a win - win situation!
Of course, they didn't stay in Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng's villa. Yan Haikun and Xie Shi each bought a villa nearby, on either side of Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng's villa, and became neighbors with the engaged couple.
After the wedding date was set, Xu Zixi's life became busier and more fulfilling than before.
In addition to her necessary tasks of supervising the construction progress of "Hope City", inspecting the "Golden Amber" Protection Area, and returning to Xicheng to process the analysis reports of various scenic spots in Haicheng, she added a new task of researching the glandular fluid of the "Golden Amber" at the Haicheng Marine Ecology Research Institute and writing experimental reports.
In addition, she also had to spare some time to discuss the details of the wedding dress design with the wedding dress designer invited by Yan Yincheng and take wedding photos.
Speaking of this wedding dress designer, she was said to be very famous in the world. Those who asked her to design wedding dresses were either heirs of royal families of some countries, oil tycoons, financial magnates, or international superstars.
Xu Zixi was surprised that Yan Yincheng could invite such a person. After asking the designer, she learned that as early as when the two of them had confirmed their feelings for each other in Fengcheng, Yan Yincheng had already made an appointment with this wedding dress designer for the wedding dress design.
Therefore, after getting the news that the wedding date was confirmed, the designer rushed over without delay.
Xu Zixi spent about a week finalizing the wedding dress design with the designer and having her measurements taken. Then the designer flew back to Country F to prepare the wedding dress for Xu Zixi.
As for the wedding photos, they also hired the best photography team in the country. They took pictures at various locations such as the Haicheng Zoo, the Aquarium, and the Hot Spring Resort, taking very ceremonial photos of Xu Zixi, Yan Yincheng, and the two kids.
Xu Zixi didn't know what style of wedding Yan Yincheng was going to present to her. Every day, he would disappear for a while, acting mysteriously. She didn't know what he was secretly planning.
Since he didn't say, she didn't ask either, looking forward to the surprise he was preparing for her.
Time passed quietly in the busyness. As the wedding date drew closer, the completion rate of the main building of "Hope City" reached 98%, and Xu Zixi's research on the glandular fluid of the "Golden Amber" also made a preliminary breakthrough!
The structure of the active molecules in the glandular fluid of the "Golden Amber" was very similar to the human genome segment. It could be said that as long as the structure of the problematic segment in the gene chain could be determined, the characteristics of these active molecules could be used to develop a specific drug to replace the genetic defects.
On the night before the official completion of the main building of "Hope City", Xu Zixi stayed up all night and put a perfect full stop at the end of her thesis. After checking it several times to make sure there were no typos, she sent this thesis about the "Golden Amber" to the submission email of the world's most authoritative medical journal.
There was no doubt that she was the first author of the thesis, but she also added Mr. Tang's name as the second author.
It was Mr. Tang who had discovered that the glandular fluid of the "Golden Amber" could cure Yan Yincheng's eyes. Without his hint, she wouldn't have made such a significant discovery so quickly. Adding his name was the highest respect she could pay to this old man who had spent his whole life looking for a way to cure Yan Yincheng's eyes.
She believed that this thesis would surely shock the whole world!
