"You, what are you?" Ouyang Hao's action of taking off his cloak paused in mid-air as he mechanically turned his head to look at his daughter and future son-in-law behind him. Bai Su, seeing his expression, couldn't help but chuckle as she stepped forward to take the cloak and handed it to Lin Ma, saying, "Husband, is it really necessary to be so surprised?"
"No, it's not that I'm surprised; it's just that this is..." This is simply too unbelievable! Ouyang Hao cleared his throat and slightly leaned down to look at his daughter, asking, "Do you know what time it is now?" Ouyang Zixin blinked. He asked again, "With the competition approaching, do you think this is appropriate?" Ouyang Zixin blinked her eyes without answering but looked towards Yun Tianmo.
Yun Tianmo understood and gently squeezed her hand, saying, "Master Xuan need not worry; I am already prepared and it won't take up much time."
"Won't take up much time? Ha!" Ouyang Hao was almost laughing in anger. Is this really just a matter of time? He turned to Bai Su with a disapproving look and said, "Look at how the young people think these days. Madam, you..." Before Ouyang Hao could finish his sentence with "Isn't it," Bai Su interjected, "I think the young people today have their own ideas. Some things should be done quickly." With that, she walked forward with a smile, glancing at her daughter and future son-in-law before gently patting their hands that were clasped together. "Mother has been waiting for this day for a long time."
Bai Su's slightly choked voice and slender figure made Ouyang Hao's rebuttal stick in his throat; he couldn't swallow it or speak out. A feeling of bitterness rose in his heart. Ouyang Zixin originally didn't have any special feelings about the situation, but standing opposite Bai Su and listening to her simple words filled with deep emotion made her eyes redden instantly. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she trembled and said, "Mother, I..."
"Silly child, you should be happy. Why are you crying?" Bai Su pretended to scold her as she reached out to wipe away the tears on Ouyang Zixin's face while saying, "In the future, your husband will be the one to wipe your tears..."
"Madam's words are incorrect. If my daughter's husband dares to make her cry..." Ouyang Hao finally found an opportunity and stepped forward to pull Bai Su close while glaring fiercely at Yun Tianmo. Yun Tianmo did not avoid the gaze; he met Ouyang Hao's eyes directly, showing all his sincerity. It should be known that even though Ouyang Hao was the Guardian Mystic of Exiled Nation, the Ouyang Family could only be considered new nobility compared to established families like the Yun Family or royal families. They had no advantage whatsoever. If he didn't know how deeply they loved Ouyang Zixin, he would never have accepted such disdainful looks.
"Yes, yes, husband is right." Bai Su also realized something was off in her words and quickly followed along with Ouyang Hao's sentiment. "However, I believe Cloud Young Master will not let our Xin'er feel sad."
Ouyang Zixin nodded vigorously but soon realized it wasn't her place to respond; she tugged at Yun Tianmo's hand that was locked in gaze with Ouyang Hao and said, "My mother is talking to you!"
"Madam Ouyang need not worry; I will definitely not let her feel sad," Yun Tianmo assured with a nod.
"Oh, if I had known... it would have been better if she hadn't grown up so fast," Ouyang Hao lamented as a father who truly couldn't bear to see his daughter get married. Like all fathers, when it came time for their daughters to marry off, he felt even more reluctant than Bai Su as a mother. So even though he didn't say much out loud, he still felt heavy-hearted.
"Dad!" Ouyang Zixin called out to him.
Ouyang Hao looked up; seeing his daughter's pitiful appearance made him feel even more tender-hearted. After a moment of hesitation, he thought that this day would come eventually; now that it was Yun Tianmo who would marry her, perhaps it was a good thing after all.
"Are you ready?" Supporting Bai Su as she sat down, Ouyang Hao finally remembered what Yun Tianmo had said earlier. "To what extent are you prepared?" In fact, Ouyang Zixin wasn't quite sure either; upon hearing this question, she looked eagerly at Yun Tianmo waiting for his answer.
At that moment, Lin Ma entered with Liu Ying and Liu Lu; it seemed that the food from the kitchen was ready. "Sir, Madam, Eldest Sister, please have your meal first," Lin Ma said as she came in. Before going out earlier, she had heard some things and knew today was about Eldest Sister's lifelong event; thus she had temporarily gone into the kitchen to prepare several dishes with auspicious meanings.
After everyone took their seats, Lin Ma had someone bring out the dishes while she personally announced them: "Double Happiness Dumplings, Dragon and Phoenix Presenting Auspiciousness, Sweetness..." Lin Ma had watched Ouyang Zixin grow up; unexpectedly in the blink of an eye, that well-behaved eldest sister was about to become a wife. She felt both happy and reluctant as tears welled up in her eyes.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu had also grown up alongside Ouyang Zixin; although they had been separated for a long time during that period, their bond remained strong. Hearing about Eldest Sister's situation from Lin Ma made them feel deeply reluctant as well.
Ouyang Zixin sat there watching everyone express their genuine feelings towards her; suddenly she couldn't hold back any longer as tears streamed down like pearls from a broken string. Meanwhile, Yun Tianmo sitting beside her didn't know what else to do except hold tightly onto her hand resting on her lap to show he was there for her.
"Alright now, you all sit down and eat; today we should enjoy a meal together as a family," Ouyang Hao urged while Lin Ma and Liu Ying wanted to decline but were shot down by his glare and thus sat down accordingly. To be honest, they also wanted to spend more time with Eldest Sister since this meal held great significance.
"Alright then; we are all family here. What have you prepared?" Ouyang Hao poured wine for Yun Tianmo while asking.
Yun Tianmo accepted the wine glass with both hands and replied: "I have a residence in Capital of the Departed Nation that's similar in size to Xuan Shi Mansion; everything has been arranged properly—just waiting for a mistress."
Bai Su smiled lightly upon hearing this; she felt even more satisfied with this son-in-law as joy filled her eyes while looking at Ouyang Zixin playfully blinking at her.
Ouyang Zixin blushed deeply; earlier she had held back some emotions impulsively but didn’t expect Yun Tianmo had truly prepared everything well without her knowledge.
"What about Cloud Nation?" As a man himself, Ouyang Hao knew some matters couldn't just be settled by romantic feelings alone.
"There’s no need to worry about Cloud Nation; after the competition concludes there will naturally be complete ceremonies," Yun Tianmo explained while turning his gaze towards Ouyang Zixin since he still felt somewhat worried about not discussing things with her beforehand—he wondered if she'd feel wronged afterward.
However before Ouyang Zixin could react at all, Ouyang Hao immediately disagreed by slamming his hand on the table saying: "No way!"
"Why not?" Bai Su and Ouyang Zixin asked in unison.
