The plane with the Yan Group's logo landed smoothly in Haicheng. Soon after, the cabin door opened. Xu Zixi, Yan Yincheng, their two kids, and little Anning walked out of the cabin, followed by Dai Sha and Wei Shu. Since their first stop on the honeymoon trip was Haicheng, Wei Shu and Dai Sha had also come back.
On the tarmac, an Audi was already waiting. As soon as Zhou Yaru saw Xu Zixi, before they even walked down the stairs, she rushed forward excitedly and hugged Xu Zixi tightly.
"Xiaoxi, you're finally back!"
Then she hugged Dai Sha. "Sasha, I missed you so much!"
The kids also greeted her warmly. "Aunt Yaru! We missed you too!"
Anning had only seen Zhou Yaru once when she was just born. But seeing her brothers rushing to Zhou Yaru's side, she blinked her big eyes and sweetly greeted, "Hello, Aunt Yaru!"
Zhou Yaru was both surprised and delighted. She pinched Anning's little cheek and smiled with her eyes bent. "Miracle is such a good girl. Let Aunt Yaru give you a kiss."
After greeting the kids, Zhou Yaru hugged Xu Zixi again with tears in her eyes.
"Xiaoxi, welcome back to Haicheng."
Xu Zixi had left for Fengcheng to study and help Yan Yincheng treat his eyes. She was usually too busy to fly to Haicheng, so her friends could only keep in touch via video calls.
But how could that compare to meeting in person?
While Zhou Yaru and Xu Zixi were hugging warmly, Brother Hu also stepped forward and wiped the corner of his eyes.
"Miss, you're finally back."
It was a bit choking for a grown - up man to say this.
Wait, something was wrong. In the middle of her emotional moment, Zhou Yaru suddenly realized something. She looked up at Yan Yincheng behind Xu Zixi. Mr. Yan was wearing sunglasses at the moment, and the black lenses blocked his eyes, making it impossible to tell whether his eyesight had recovered.
"Xiaoxi, is Mr. Yan..." Zhou Yaru asked tentatively.
The next second, she and Brother Hu got the answer. Yan Yincheng took off his sunglasses in front of them, and his bright dragon - like eyes were right in front of them.
But...
Unable to hold it in, Zhou Yaru burst out laughing. She really didn't expect that Mr. Yan looked like an ice - cold and cool guy with his sunglasses on, but when he took them off, his eyes were so innocent and curious, like a newborn baby's, completely ruining his cold and aloof aura.
Oh my god, she never thought Mr. Yan would be like this after his eyesight recovered!
It was really unexpected!
Hearing Zhou Yaru's laughter, Yan Yincheng angrily put his sunglasses back on.
Did he want to wear sunglasses? No!
It was just that he had just recovered his eyesight and hadn't learned how to hide his emotions well. As long as people looked into his eyes, they could tell exactly what was on his mind!
This was not conducive to maintaining his cold and aloof image at all!
Look, now Zhou Yaru and Hu Yuankang were laughing at him!
Xu Zixi played the peacemaker. She held one of them with each hand and said with a smile, "Alright, alright. We've been flying all morning. I'm hungry. Let's go back quickly."
Brother Hu drove them and took the car directly back to the villa in the south of the city where Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng lived.
Back in this long - missed place, everything was so familiar and nostalgic. The two kids and Anning were running on the lawn with enthusiastic smiles on their faces.
In the afternoon, guests came to the villa one after another. Li Mao, with Liu Meixiang and Li Xinxin, was the first to arrive. Then came Fang Ruiyang and Huang Zhenzhen. Huang Zhenzhen had also given birth to a daughter named Fang Zhihan. She was just over one year old and had just learned to call mom and dad.
Then came Wang Dabao, the kids' friend in Haicheng, and his mom and dad.
A long - awaited gathering of friends after two years was held lively in this villa again.
The most exciting news of this gathering was that Yan Yincheng's eyesight had recovered, and he could recognize these friends he had met because of Xu Zixi in person. Before coming back to Haicheng, he had already matched the names with the faces according to the photos, so he had no problem calling out everyone's names on the spot.
This surprised and delighted everyone.
"Come on, let's toast to Mr. Yan's recovery of eyesight!"
The glasses clinked against each other, and some of the drinks spilled out of the glasses. In the bright light, Yan Yincheng saw that everyone was genuinely happy for him, and his heart felt warm.
It had been a long time since they last met, and there was so much to talk about. The lively atmosphere showed no sign of stopping even close to midnight.
However, during the conversation, everyone noticed something.
"What's going on with you guys? I won't say anything about Fang Ruiyang. I can understand that his wife is pregnant and it's not convenient to hold a wedding. But Brother Hu, why haven't you and Zhou Yaru held a wedding yet?" Yan Yincheng opened his eyes wide, and his eyes were full of the word "incredible".
Brother Hu scratched his head and glanced at Zhou Yaru. His cheeks were a bit red. He and Zhou Yaru had already registered their marriage, but they really hadn't held a wedding yet. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they just couldn't come up with a suitable wedding plan.
Because the wedding of Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng was so shocking and dreamy, perfectly meeting the girls' definition of "romance", no matter what plan Brother Hu proposed, Zhou Yaru would reject it. They even had a fight because of this. Zhou Yaru angrily dragged her suitcase back to her parents' house for a day, and Brother Hu came to apologize with a washboard in less than three hours.
As for Huang Zhenzhen and Fang Ruiyang, they had indeed been planning their wedding recently, but the plan hadn't been finalized yet. However, Huang Zhenzhen was more laid - back. Although she also wanted a very special wedding, she thought that as long as she and Fang Ruiyang had worked hard on this matter together, it would be fine.
Speaking of this, everyone suddenly thought of Dai Sha and Wei Shu. For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to them.
"Wei Shu, Dai Sha, why haven't you two gotten married yet? You're the only ones left!"
"Yeah, have you met each other's parents? Are you engaged? Have you gotten your marriage certificate? Why is there no news at all? Wei Shu, do you not want to take responsibility for Dai Sha?"
Wei Shu felt so wronged! How could he not want to take responsibility! He just hadn't figured out how to propose yet! Sensing the deadly look from the person beside him, he glanced sideways and met Dai Sha's meaningful gaze.
He shivered all over. Remembering the question she had asked him at night and being interrogated by everyone now, he quickly took out a ring box from his pocket and knelt down on one knee.
"Marry me, Dai Sha!"
"Damn it, this is such a hasty proposal! It's too simple!"
"No way! We can't let Wei Shu off so easily! You're Mr. Yan's top - notch assistant! Is this how you propose?"
"Then what do you want?" Wei Shu retorted angrily.
After a while...
Wei Shu, wearing women's clothing, walked out of the villa coyly and performed a hot dance for everyone on the spot. His stiff dance moves, the leg hair flying in the air, and the buttons that were about to pop open made everyone scream that it was an eyesore.
This scene greatly satisfied two people on the scene, Mr. Yan and Dai Sha.
Dai Sha laughed so hard that she fell off her chair. When Wei Shu finished dancing and knelt down on one knee again with the ring to propose to her, she readily said, "I agree. Let's get married."
Thanks to her friends, she would never forget this proposal for the rest of her life.
Now, everyone was just short of a wedding.
Xu Zixi had an idea. She proposed to everyone, "How about we hold a group wedding? Let's choose 'City of Hope' as the wedding venue. What do you think?"
Xu Zixi's proposal was warmly responded to by everyone.
"Sure enough, you're the creative Xiaoxi! This proposal is amazing! I agree!"
"I agree too! 'City of Hope' is an immersive dreamy fairy - tale scenic area. Holding a wedding there is like taking a time - travel!"
Zhou Yaru was extremely excited. This was the unique wedding she had been dreaming of!
She was really looking forward to that day!
