Chapter 821: Mum is getting married

Saturday.

Morning. The sun is out.

Ring… ring… ring…. Dong Xuebing’s phone woke him.

“Hello, Xiao Bing.” Luan Xiaoping said. “Are you still sleeping?”

Dong Xuebing’s eyes were still closed. “Huh? Mum? What time is it?”

Luan Xiaoping replied. “It is almost 8 am, and you should wake up. Stop sleeping so late when you are not working. You should exercise more.”

“Exercise? Huilan and I still want to sleep a while longer.”

“Eh? Huilan’s new position is there? Where are you all staying now?”

“The City Party Committee Family Quarters. The apartment building next to the one where Uncle Yang used to stay. This is Huilan’s apartment.”

“Ok. I feel assured after knowing Huilan is there to look after you. You must listen to her as she is more mature and sensible than you. Do you hear me?”

“Huh? I am not a kid. Why do I need to be looked after?”

“Haha….. you are forever a kid in my eyes.”

“Are you calling me so early in the morning to say these? What is it?”

Luan Xiaoping paused for a second and cleared her throat. “I need to tell you something. Err…. Your Uncle Yang and I registered our marriage yesterday.”

Dong Xuebing jumped up from the bed. “What? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

Luan Xiaoping laughed. “It was all decided. Why do I need to inform you? You don’t agree to our marriage?”

“No. But I should be there with you. How can you register your marriage without me around? What about the wedding ceremony? Never mind… I will settle it for you. You and Uncle Yang don’t need to worry about anything. I will arrange and pay for the ceremony. I promise you will have a grand wedding.”

Luan Xiaoping replied. “You don’t need to do anything. We will be holding a simple ceremony.”

“Why?”

“Old Yang is newly appointed as the Acting City Mayor, and his position is not firm yet. It’s not good to hold a grand wedding now. Furthermore, we are old and don’t need a ceremony. We had registered our marriage because we were living together and wanted to avoid gossip. If not, I don’t even want to register. We have decided, and you don’t need to say anymore.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “That means you are considered married?”

“Yes. You can call him Dad if you want. If not, you can continue to call him Uncle Yang. We don’t mind.”

“Sigh…. We should have a meal together at least.”

“We can eat together anytime. Huilan and you can come over anytime you want.”

“Fine…. Fine…. Just do it as you want.” Dong Xuebing replied. “I just realized that you and my wife cannot be offended.”

Luan Xiaoping was amused. “Did Huilan bully you?”

Dong Xuebing refused to admit it. “She dares to bully me?!”

“You are a man and should give in to her. Do you understand?”

“I know. I will give in to her. I will not hit her no matter how she provokes me. I will scold her at most.”

“Just live in peace and stop thinking of all this nonsense.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Mum, I noticed you had become more assertive and commanding when speaking. You had changed a lot compared to before, and this is after you became the City Mayor’s wife.”

“Rubbish.” Luan Xiaoping scolded. “I am hanging up.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Bye. I don’t want to bother you on your honeymoon with Uncle Yang. Congratulations on your marriage.”

“Ok. You must take good care of yourself when I am not around you.”

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing threw his phone beside his pillow and looked at Xie Huilan.

Suddenly, Xie Huilan’s lips moved. “Who did you say you want to hit just now?”

Dong Xuebing got shocked. “Damn! Are you awake? Stop scaring people like this.”

Xie Huilan smiled, and her eyes remained closed. “I heard you tell our Mum that you still want to scold me, and I don’t dare to bully you.”

Dong Xuebing smiled and moved closer. “That was a joke.”

Xie Huilan laughed. “You don’t sound like you are joking.”

“Look at you…. Are you trying to settle the score with me again?” Dong Xuebing kissed Xie Huilan’s forehead and reached under the blanket to hold her hand. “I don’t bear to scold you. I will scold anyone else except for my lovely wife.”

Xie Huilan opened her eyes and laughed. “I won't be pleased so easily. Go! Bring me a glass of water. I am thirsty.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Dong Xuebing got out of bed and drank a glass of water before pouring warm water for her. “Here is your water, your Majesty.”

“Ok.”

After drinking some water, Xie Huilan yawned. “I am going to sleep a while more. I am still sleepy.”

Dong Xuebing nodded and pulled the blanket over her. His hand continued to stroke her back. “My Mum and Uncle Yang had gotten married.”

“I heard it just now. Are they not going to hold a ceremony?”

“They are afraid it will have a negative impact.”

“That’s right. It is not good to do anything when you know nothing about your opponents. Stop touching. You are making me blush.”

Xie Huilan pushed Dong Xuebing’s hand, which was on her breast away.

“Do you know what it means by blush?”

“It is how I am right now.”

“Save it. You look like you are enjoying it.”

“Haha…. Am I?”

Dong Xuebing hugged Xie Huilan and felt her slender body in his arms. “I am not sure if you are happy now or not, but I can tell you enjoyed yourself last night. You rode me the whole night.” She had followed all of Dong Xuebing’s requests last night.

Xie Huilan smiled and looked at Dong Xuebing. “Let’s talk about something else, ok?”

“No. I want to talk about this.”

“Can you don’t embarrass me?”

“No.”

Dong Xuebing kissed Xie Huilan’s forehead, eyes, nose, and lips. “Huilan, why are you so pretty and have such a good figure? Are you trying to kill me?”

Xie Huilan smiled. “How am I going to kill you?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I am almost dead. I can’t take my eyes off you.”
