Invincible Dad-Chapter 502: Husband, what do you think?_1

Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Husband, what do you think?_1
Xu Lai, far away in Hua Country’s East Sea City on Earth, didn’t care that the ’Sea of Fireworks’ had been discovered by others that day. He only needed to see the smile on Ruan Tang’s face, and that was enough.
The stars in the sky exploded, creating one image after another. They depicted their story from first meeting to knowing each other, and now to being in love, complete with some noisy everyday squabbles and tender, moving moments.
Forget Ruan Tang, the person at the center of it all; even the guests and passersby were moved to the point of choking back tears. What kind of immortal couple was this? They were simply too perfect.
When the images gradually evolved to the two of them holding hands and walking into the wedding venue, Ruan Tang turned slightly, constantly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
As the Sea of Fireworks was about to end, the leisurely sound of a zither echoed through Mount Haitang. Only then did everyone see that the groom, Xu Lai, had at some point sat down cross-legged with a guqin laid across his knees.
The zither’s melody lingered, drifting into the minds of everyone present.
"Is this... ’Seeking Phoenix’?"
Su Daiyi was slightly surprised. Although she studied finance, her family had spared no expense since her childhood for her to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was naturally familiar with this famous ancient guqin piece from Hua Country.
But it didn’t seem quite right. The love in this melody exceeded that of ’Seeking Phoenix’ a hundred, a thousand, even ten thousand times over. It could be said that the emotion was overflowing from the music; love was all that entered the ear.
All of Mount Haitang quieted down. Everyone closed their eyes, listening to the zither music that lingered in the sky, as if they could see a pair of phoenixes soaring through the heavens with their own eyes.
From life to death, they were never parted.
"My goodness, my brother-in-law’s charming techniques are way too strong," Yu Xiaoxiao muttered.
Quiet and fond of music, Li Li didn’t make a sound, her eyes sparkling like little stars.
That stinky brother-in-law! I never knew he could play the guqin before. Now he’s deliberately showing off. What girl could possibly withstand this?
Ruan Lan grumbled to herself.
But her tone held no dissatisfaction; on the contrary, she was delighted. On the day of her sister’s grand wedding, the more surprises, the better.
As the song gradually came to a close, the crowd was still savoring the feeling. Xu Lai gently took Ruan Tang’s hand and asked softly, "It’s been a long time since I played. Was it easy on the ears?"
"It didn’t go into my ears; it went in here," Ruan Tang said, pointing to her chest.
Xu Lai was startled for a moment, then chuckled. "I don’t believe you. I’ll have to take a closer look tonight."
"Hmph!"
The touching emotion Ruan Tang felt dissipated in an instant as she scoffed.
Xu Lai laughed heartily, holding Ruan Tang’s soft little hand tightly, feeling an inexpressible sense of elation in his heart.
One hundred thousand years. He, Xu Lai, finally had a home again.
Next, the wedding banquet began, a meal that could be described as a joyous occasion for all the guests. Ruan Lan, Yu Xiaoxiao, and Li Li egged on the employees from Above the White Clouds to get Xu Lai drunk, but in the end... Xu Lai drank them all under the table.
This left an eager Qian Song dumbfounded. He quickly announced that he had to take care of his pregnant wife and poured the wine out of his glass, replacing it with water.
Liu Nanwei’s husband, Liu Beiming, watched the drunken women with a complex expression and remarked with a sigh, "They are still too young."
They drank for who knows how many rounds. In any case, Xu Lai was completely fine, but the others who tried to get him to drink couldn’t handle it. Some were slumped over the tables, while others were sprawled among the flowers. One was even hugging a chair, tears streaming down his face as he wailed apologies to someone.
"Tired?" Xu Lai gently scratched Ruan Tang’s palm.
She gave a subtle nod. "I’m okay."
"Let’s go."
Xu Lai took Ruan Tang, and their figures vanished, reappearing a moment later above the clouds. Pristine white clouds drifted past one by one. In the distance, the vast, endless sea merged with the sky. The scenery was unspeakably beautiful.
Ruan Tang’s beautiful eyes shone with splendor. "It’s truly beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as my wife, though," Xu Lai said, lying on a cloud.
Ruan Tang lay beside Xu Lai and took his hand. Her eyes suddenly reddened a little as she said, "Xu Lai, if Grandma knew I got married, she would definitely be very happy."
"Of course," Xu Lai said earnestly. "After all, her grandson-in-law is the most outstanding man in the entire universe. To tell you the truth, I’m a little envious that you found such an excellent husband."
"Shameless," Ruan Tang chided with a laugh.
"I have many shameless moments."
"Such as?"
"Such as right now. I think we need to get to know each other a little more deeply."
"We’re already married. Don’t we know each other enough?"
Ruan Tang looked puzzled, only to see several white clouds drift over, completely enclosing them. Xu Lai then leaned down and kissed her on the lips.
Ruan Tang’s face blushed as red as blood. She finally understood the deep meaning behind his words, but instead of pushing him away, she closed her eyes.
...
...
"Auntie, look at that thick cloud in the sky! Doesn’t it look like a room?" Yiyi said excitedly.
"AHHHH!"
Ruan Lan didn’t look up, because she was about to go crazy from exhaustion.
My brother-in-law and sister have vanished! How am I supposed to handle all these drunk guests? And the guests who aren’t drunk are leaving, so I have to see them off, right? Of course, there are also the people who came to give wedding gifts, like the Wan Family from East Sea, the Niu Family from Hua City, the Ling Family from Wen City... These heads of wealthy families who weren’t even invited, plus the heads of the Martial Dao Association, the Go Association, and the Medical Association, all came in person to deliver a huge present. If it weren’t for Divine General Taotie dealing with these people for me, I, the bride’s sister, would have probably died from exhaustion right here!
Divine General Taotie said in a deep voice, "Go rest. I’ll handle everything here."
Tears of gratitude fell from Ruan Lan’s eyes. She patted Taotie’s shoulder and said, "You reliable partner, you. I can also confidently leave Liu Wan in your care. I’ll be looking forward to your wedding!"
Taotie coughed, unsure how to respond. He turned to look at a table a few steps away, where Liu Wan sat, looking right back at him. Their eyes met, and though no words were spoken, the air was thick with affection.
Liu Wan quickly averted her gaze, shyly lowering her head.
Ruan Lan felt a pang of jealousy. "Forget it, forget it. Old Taotie, you should just go accompany your girlfriend. I’ll take care of things here."
Then, seeing Qian Xiao eating, she called out, "Qian Xiao, come and help me clean up!"
"I’ve barely started eating," Qian Xiao said, stunned.
"I’m Yiyi’s auntie, you know."
"Auntie, I’m coming!!!"
...
Night fell, and Haitang Court returned to tranquility.
The newlyweds, who had been missing from noon until six in the evening, finally appeared at home, bringing their sister-in-law, who had just finished mopping the floor, to tears.
"Where have you two been!"
"...Nowhere much." Ruan Tang’s face was a little red, though it was unclear if it was from guilt or some other reason.
"Xu Lai, Ruan Tang, I’m telling you! If I don’t get three servings of midnight snacks as compensation, I’m going to be furious! Do you have any idea how tiring the cleanup was?" Ruan Lan fumed, no longer even bothering to call him brother-in-law. "You two lovebirds disappear for your romantic getaway, while I’m so tired my back is about to break!"
"Your sister’s back is about to break—"
Before Xu Lai could finish, Ruan Tang firmly stepped on his foot and smiled sweetly at her sister. "As long as you want a midnight snack, you can wake him up to cook for you, no matter what time it is."
"Really?" Ruan Lan was shocked.
"Honey, what do you say?" Ruan Tang looked at Xu Lai with a smile in her eyes, still pressing down firmly on his foot, clearly blaming him for his slip of the tongue.
