[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

Chapter 238 Wedding Banquet 2

Wei Chaoyan didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from accepting the statement. Although she thought getting married at thirty-one or thirty-two was not too late, she nodded and said, "Well, I don't know what those wild guys have in mind for this time. I'll go ask them."

Seeing the visible lines of disappointment and regret etched on Butcher Liu's dark bronze skin, he quickly added, "Hey, don't worry, Uncle Liu, Aying and the others will definitely be there. How could they miss out on such a joyous occasion?!"

Upon hearing this, Butcher Liu smiled subconsciously, but then, as if remembering something, his brows furrowed and his lips drooped. "Won't this delay A-Ying and the others' important business? Or should we just forget about it? We all live in the same small town, we'll see each other eventually, let's not rush things, shall we?"

Wei Chaoyan: "..."

He gave Liu the butcher a strange look. He wasn't usually this indecisive. If it was okay, it was okay; if it wasn't okay, it wasn't okay. Why did he have so many concerns?

Could it be that this perfectly illustrates the old saying that elders often repeat—that only married people are truly grown up and mature?

So this man, who was usually rough and straightforward, has learned to think about these trivial and complicated human affairs from multiple perspectives?

Wei Chaoyan's thoughts raced wildly and haphazardly like a derailed locomotive, but she remained outwardly composed, revealing nothing of the boundless thoughts swirling in her mind. With a genuine smile, she waved her hand firmly and said, "Uncle Liu, stop with the 'this' and 'that'! I said I'd come, and I definitely will. The same goes for Aying and the others. There's no need for so many 'what ifs'!"

Her tone softened as she changed the subject, "Uncle Liu, ever since A-Ying appeared in Yiling Town as a child, you, Uncle Wen, and Granny Yang have watched him grow up to this age. You know his character, as well as that of Qi Ye and Qing Yan. For such an important event as your wedding, A-Ying and the others will definitely not be absent! Do you want them to hold a grudge because of this absence in the future?"

Butcher Liu paused for a moment, ultimately unable to bear the sadness and regret of the child he had raised. So he stopped refusing and simply lowered his head in compromise, saying in a muffled voice, "Alright! Just remember to come to my house at sunrise on the ninth of this month!"

Wei Chaoyan: "Uncle Liu, do you need us to come a little earlier to help you greet the guests?"

Butcher Liu refused: "No need, Aunt Yang and Doctor Wen will take care of everything for me! You kids just need to bring your food and drink, that's all!"

After a pause, she added, "If all else fails, you can go with your sister Xiaoya (Dr. Wen's granddaughter, who is around sixteen years old) to chat with your future aunt and relieve her boredom."

Wei Chaoyan tilted her head and smiled, "Okay! I'll do whatever Uncle Liu says!" She pointed to the three large stacks of oil paper packages beside her, "Then I'll be going now. I still need to sort through this huge pile when I get back!"

Butcher Liu picked up the oil paper package from the meat stall and handed it to Wei Chaoyan, while worrying about the weight of the package. "You ordered a lot this time. Do you want me to help you carry it back?"

"Huh?" Wei Chaoyan shook her head like a rattle drum, suddenly snatched the oil paper package from Liu the butcher, turned around abruptly, and ran away in a flash, giving Liu the butcher no chance to react.

Staring at the stall where no one had left in the blink of an eye, Butcher Liu stood there dumbfounded for a long time before he came to his senses, shaking his head and smiling wryly, "That Ayan is really something..."

Not to mention how happy, excited, and expectant they were after Wei Ying and the others returned to the Wei residence through the teleportation portal and had a hearty meal, and then Wei Chaoyan informed them of the good news.

During the days of waiting, the three of them were busy like spinning tops, searching everywhere for good things to be their wedding gifts when they attended the banquet. Even Lan Zhan, who was far away in Cloud Recesses, learned about this news from Wei Ying and immediately began to prepare his own wedding gift!

The waiting time passed in the blink of an eye!

The ninth day of the third lunar month is auspicious for: marriage, betrothal, engagement, hanging plaques, travel, and moving into a new house!

It was a wonderful day with clear skies, gentle breezes, and a warm wind!
