Huo Weiyu looked at the young ones and laughed, "You little rascals, I’ve really wasted my affection on you."

Nine-year-old Huo Xiaorong from the Second Wife’s family chimed in, "We did it for your own good, to give you a lesson."

Suddenly, the room burst into laughter.

Well, Huo Weiyu didn’t struggle anymore, giving Huo Jiayuan a ’Sis, it’s your turn now’ look, and then sat on the sofa.

Huo Jiayuan was a bit troubled too, not wanting to lead the kids astray, she quickly looked towards Fourth Sister-in-law for rescue.

That pitiful expression made Yunyi burst into laughter, "Come on, let’s share the chocolate. But not for those two, what do you think of this punishment?"

All the kids cheered.

Huo Jiayuan clasped her hands together and playfully gestured at Yunyi.

As a result, her own mother Jiang Jingya gave her a poke, "You’ll be getting married soon after New Year, and still so childish. I really wonder how Lu Licheng can tolerate your immaturity?"

Though Huo Jiayuan dared not talk back, she was thinking to herself: He did say, he loves me just the way I am.

Not far away, Duan Zhuangyu noticed Yunyi giving away the chocolate she gifted as a goodwill gesture, feeling somewhat displeased, she muttered under her breath, "Really knows how to play the good person."

She said it so softly that only Huo Gaodi beside her, along with Yunyi and Huo Jingrui, heard it.

Yunyi couldn’t care less about her sarcastic remark; as long as it wasn’t directly aimed at her, she couldn’t be bothered.

Auntie Zhang came out of the kitchen and went straight to Huo Shanhe and Jiang Jingya, "The meal is ready."

Jiang Jingya invited everyone to move to the dining room.

For today’s meal, Auntie Zhang had prepared in advance for a few days; it was a feast.

After Huo Shanhe spoke, everyone was drinking and chatting, the atmosphere was lively.

Even Duan Zhuangyu, faced with such delicious food, couldn’t bother with anything else.

After dinner, Jiang Jingya pulled Yunyi to the sofa in the living room, taking out a notebook, "Yiyi, here are a few auspicious dates for this month and next."

She remembered something and continued, "I’ve already talked it over with your parents, they said it’s up to you."

Yunyi looked at the dates on the notebook, then looked towards Huo Jingrui who walked over.

The earliest date was three days later, and even though everything was prepared, it still felt rushed. Both of them looked down together.

Then their fingers both pointed at the second date, seven days later.

Which was December 23rd, the ninth day of the eleventh lunar month.

This time, Huo Jingrui had taken leave and included his wedding leave too, as he had to return to the army by the end of the month.

Although preparations had been made earlier, once the date was set, there were still many things to do.

So in the afternoon, everyone took on their tasks and went about their business.

Jiang Jingya took Yunyi and Huo Jiayuan to visit a few well-connected families in the compound, for Yunyi to get acquainted with them beforehand.

Jiang Jingya’s intention was naturally to let Yunyi get to know people in advance, in case on the wedding day someone inconsiderate said something foolish, these people would protect Yunyi.

The first visit was to the Qiao Family. When Qiao Wenyu’s mom saw Yunyi, she warmly entertained her throughout, "You’re Yunyi, right? My rascal son has praised you a lot."

Qiao Wenyu had called home a few days ago, saying that if nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to return to Beijing for exams.

This delighted Zhang Meifeng.

Of course, Qiao Wenyu also mentioned how Yunyi helped them.

So when Jiang Jingya brought Yunyi to their door, she received them with the utmost enthusiasm, "Wenyu repeatedly instructed me to look after you in areas where your mother-in-law couldn’t in the compound."
