Chapter 456 Welcoming the Bride

Meanwhile, in a prestigious courtyard, Ning Guoqiang stood in a black suit, greeting a group of relatives with great vigor.

However, Ning Guoqiang frequently glanced towards the gate, prompting Li Chunyu, who stood beside him, to look at him with confusion.

"I say, Old Ning, what are you doing? You seem distracted. Everyone who should be here has arrived. Didn't Ye Ling say not to notify too many people? It's a bit shocking and awe-inspiring, don't scare anybody else."

Li Chunyu looked at her husband with some bewilderment. Everyone who should have arrived had done so, and they were just waiting to greet the wedding procession.

"What do you know? I have to see which house this damned boy visits first. I'm telling you, my people informed me that his wedding car has left. If he is to come to our place first, it should have arrived by now."

Hearing Ning Guoqiang's words, Li Chunyu furrowed her brows and hit Ning Guoqiang lightly, "What are you saying? Ye Ling is your son-in-law, not some 'damned boy'."

"They say a son-in-law is half a son. We only have Yu Shan as a daughter, so Ye Ling is like our son. Be more careful from now on, don't speak carelessly."

A mother-in-law sees her son-in-law with increasing favor, and Li Chunyu wasn't going to let Ning Guoqiang ruin this joyous day by calling his own son-in-law a 'damned boy' repeatedly.

Ning Guoqiang shook his head helplessly, "Women, your hair is long but your insight short. What do you know? If he comes to our house first, it proves that his love for Yu Shan is the greatest."

Li Chunyu was startled and then understood her husband's thinking, also looking towards the gate. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Do you see that, Old Ning? Look quickly, it's the wedding procession!"

Ning Guoqiang smiled as well, hands behind his back, "Hmph, I knew this damn guy wasn't so heartless. My Yu Shan is already carrying his child."

"That's more like it. After the child is born, we'll take him over. How about that? The two of them, I bet they'll spoil our precious grandchild rotten."

Now Ning Guoqiang finally felt comfortable, and Li Chunyu immediately nodded at his words, "Yes, and the parents-in-law are also quite old. With so many children, they can't take care of all of them."

"Once Yu Shan gives birth, I'll bring our precious grandchild home. Grandma will personally take care of him. Hmph, if anyone dares to bully my grandchild, I'll fight them!"

Li Chunyu smiled contentedly, and Ning Guoqiang immediately glared, "What are you saying? You need to know not to spoil him too much!"

"But if anyone dares to mess with my grandchild, I'll blow them away with a single shot!" Ning Guoqiang declared with a scowl on his face.

Crackling sounds erupted, and suddenly, a volley of firecrackers shot into the sky, adding more festivity to the joyous occasion. Although firecrackers were not allowed in the city, who would dare to obstruct on Ye Ling's wedding day?

The wedding procession slowly halted at the entrance of the Ning Family's home. Ye Ling exited the car happily, and Ning Guoqiang approached him with a dark face, "You, lad, still have a conscience, knowing to come to my home first."

"Hey, I'm telling you, Dad, why the dark face today? Tsk tsk, I was even thinking of letting Yu Shan's child take your surname after the birth, but it seems like you're unwilling. Fine then, the child will bear the Ye surname."

Ye Ling sidled up to Ning Guoqiang, giggling. Ning Guoqiang was stunned, his eyes suddenly reddening, "Are you serious about what you just said?"

For Ning Guoqiang, having just one daughter and no son all his life, the prospect of his grandchild bearing the surname Ning was enough to make Ning Guoqiang die content.

Li Chunyu, standing beside them, was also extremely excited, her eyes brimming with tears. She dared not even think about it.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. Yu Shan and I have discussed it. It's too lonely for the two of you at home. So once the child is born, we'll let him bear the Ning surname."

"Giving you something to do so my dad can also spend some time holding the baby will help relieve some of our stress."

Ye Ling said with a smile. He had already discussed this with Ning Yushan; after all, she was the only daughter of the Ning Family. Besides, it was just a surname; the child would still be his, wouldn't it?

"Whoever you want to watch the kid, go find them. Don't come to me," Ning Guoqiang said, struggling to hide his excitement and disdain.

Li Chunyu quickly punched him on the side, "You old geezer, if you don't watch him, I will. And if you dare lay a finger on my grandson, I'll fight you to the death."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Ye Ling, go on up, hurry. I'm telling you, those girls have hidden Yu Shan's shoes in..."

Ning Guoqiang quickly informed Ye Ling where the shoes had been hidden, and Ye Ling excitedly entered the house followed by a swarm of young heirs.

"Hubby, do you really think Ye Ling is willing to let the child carry our surname?" Li Chunyu asked, holding Ning Guoqiang's hand with immense excitement.

Ning Guoqiang nodded, his face rarely showing such kindness, "The guy did good, he's got a conscience! He's not let us down."

"Yu Shan is carrying a boy; it's time to think of a name. This child needs a tough name to ensure he thrives. Let's call him Ning Gangdan!"

Li Chunyu's eyes bulged out immediately, "Ning Guoqiang, I'm going to have it out with you!"

The lively procession made its grand entrance into every household. Since they split into groups of eight, Ye Ling made sure each family was very satisfied, each thinking they were the first to be visited.

Of course, even if they figured it out later, they couldn't complain; after all, Ye Ling's maneuvers were exceedingly mysterious.

At the estate, Wang Shufen stood at the entrance in a red outfit, looking out constantly. Ao Hongchen hadn't accompanied Ye Ling to fetch the bride; after all, there wasn't much point in an old man like him getting involved.

"Madam, you shouldn't be standing here. You should go inside and rest," Ao Hongchen urged immediately.

Wang Shufen waved her hand dismissively, her mind elsewhere, "It's fine, it's fine. By the way, is everything okay with the food?"

"Don't worry, Madam, everything is perfect, the wine is out, the dishes are all set, and Chef Xiong's special roasted whole lamb will be ready shortly."

Wang Shufen nodded, "That's good, that's good. Oh, and make sure to treat the guests well, okay? Ye Ling has been without his father since he was young, and there aren't many in his family. Now he's finally getting married, so we must take good care of everyone."

The guests who came today were all from Wang Shufen's side of the family. Relatives from Ye Ling's father's side hadn't been in contact for many years and had lost touch.

Ao Hongchen patted his chest, "Rest assured, Madam. With around twenty guests, if we can't take care of them well, you can take my head."

Lai Hao was after all a dignified Golden Core Stage ancestor; if he couldn't manage the guests properly, what was the point of his existence.

Suddenly, the sound of fireworks erupted, and Wang Shufen's eyes lit up— the wedding procession had arrived!

"Quick, quick, quick, have people come out to welcome them, and start the music, get the emcee over here. Hurry, don't lose decorum," Wang Shufen urgently said. Ao Hongchen quickly ran to make arrangements, glancing at Wang Shufen and couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that perhaps she was the one losing decorum first.
