“Oh, may I ask what good news it is? I want to see if I can get some good luck.”

Xiong Cheng smiled and tested the waters.

Su Hua had made a name for himself at a young age, and the emperor thought highly of him. The Crown Prince, who had returned from outside the palace, was also highly regarded. Everyone was guessing that Zhou Heng might become the Crown Prince in the future. As an official, Xiong Cheng always wanted stability. He did not take sides early and remained neutral, but he also used his gentle personality to interact with the ministers.

He did the same to Su Hua.

Su Hua smiled and said, “Of course. I’m afraid Lord Xiong will have to spend a few more times. When my family have the two weddings, we will have wedding banquets. My brother is also getting married. If our marriages can be perfectly resolved, wouldn’t I be happy?”

“Uh… Hahaha, I see. That’s great, that’s great. I don’t mind spending more.”

Xiong Cheng smiled and stroked his beard.

Attending wedding banquets was also a way to get closer. Su Hua’s half-joking tone explained the reason and invited him. Xiong Cheng was also in a good mood.

From these small matters, he could sense Su Hua’s shrewdness.

The younger generation would surpass them. It was a pity that the team was too young. If they failed, the consequences would not be good.

However, seeing that Su Hua was serious and hardworking, Xiong Cheng could not help but praise him. He was bold and did not hesitate. He and Zhou Heng had been friends for nearly ten years. If Zhou Heng ascended the throne in the future, Su Hua’s status would naturally be unquestionable.

He was not as courageous as this kid. He had to be steady and maintain his neutrality.

Su Hua also smiled and said, “I’ll definitely wait for you.”

With his heart at ease, Su Hua continued to deal with his work. Xiong Cheng did not say anything else and continued to do what he was doing.

After Su Chong received the letter, he took it to the training ground. He had been distracted in the morning and hurriedly ate lunch. He avoided Chu Jin and Qi Xingfeng and read the letter.

This was a letter from Lin Pingsheng. It was very long.

Su Chong was excited as Lin Pingsheng talked about his worries and expectations for his daughter in a fatherly tone. Su Chong’s eyes burned. He put himself in Lin Pingsheng’s shoes and thought of what he would feel if his daughter was going to get married.

With a different perspective, Su Chong could understand the weight of this letter.

Lin Pingsheng said many things that he did not know. He knew what kind of burden he was about to take on. He also understood what kind of woman Lin Yaoyao was.

Su Chong felt the blood in his heart boil. He thought that even if he married Lin Yaoyao, his love for her would have to be proven in the future.

He wasn’t just talking about the ten years. Sometimes, words were useless, but actions were always the best way to prove love.

Su Chong read the letter over and over again. In the end, he folded it and placed it on his chest in his clothes. He turned around and realized that Chu Jin and Qi Xingfeng were behind him. He was shocked and his face was hot and uneasy. “When did you come? Why didn’t you say anything?”

Chu Jin and Qi Xingfeng rolled their eyes at the same time. Chu Jin said, “Please, we’ve called you a few times. It’s as if you’ve been dragged away by a ghost. You can’t hear us calling you at all.”

Su Chong was surprised. Was that so? He looked at Qi Xingfeng.

Qi Xingfeng nodded.

Looking at Su Chong’s infatuated expression, he and Chu Jin finally understood that humans could really be immersed in joy and block all interference.

Humans could really reach such a state of self-absorption.

Su Chong scratched his head in embarrassment.

Chu Jin went forward, touched Su Chong’s shoulder, and asked, “Brother Su, what’s the good news?”

Qi Xingfeng asked, “What is it?”

Su Chong exhaled and calmed the excitement in his heart before saying, “My wish is about to come true. Master told me that Senior Sister Yaoyao agreed to marry me and asked me to propose marriage.”

“Congratulations.”

Qi Xingfeng looked at Su Chong. He couldn’t hide his excitement and happiness. He was also happy for his cousin.

Chu Jin didn’t think much of it. “Didn’t we already guess it? You’re so outstanding, you’ll definitely succeed. If she’s my daughter, if she dares not to marry you, I’ll break her legs…”

Su Chong smiled and said, “Brother Chu, are you serious? Don’t fly into a rage when your daughter gets married in the future.”

Chu Jin seemed impetuous, but he was actually very meticulous.

Chu Jin smiled embarrassedly. “Heh, what if I don’t have a daughter in the future? What if they’re all cocky brats? How can I fly into a rage?”

Chu Jin felt that he had been seen through. He could not help but think that if he had a daughter, how could he bear to force her when it was time for her to get married in the future?

He patted Su Chong’s shoulder and said seriously, “Brother Su, congratulations. When are you getting married? I’m getting married in June next year. How about we make an agreement? If you get married before me, Qi Xingfeng and I will help you block the wine. When we get married, you can also help us block the wine. How about that?”

They didn’t want to get drunk on their wedding night.

However, those who came to the wedding banquet had many ways to drink. It was impossible not to drink.

With so many brothers, they could help them drink.

Chu Jin didn’t have any brothers. Qi Xingfeng’s younger brother was weak and couldn’t withstand the alcohol.

After befriending Su Chong, he felt that Su Chong was very good at drinking, so he had this idea.

Su Chong nodded. “Okay.”

This was a mutually beneficial matter, so Su Chong naturally agreed.

The three of them trained for a day before leaving.

When Su Chong returned home, he walked with the wind.

Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and the others could tell that Su Chong was in a good mood. A good mood was contagious, although they did not know what Su Chong was happy about.

Su Hua smiled mysteriously.

Su Xiaolu looked at Su Chong and then at him. She smiled and asked, “Brother, you look so happy today. What’s the matter?”

When Su Xiaolu asked, everyone in the family looked at Su Chong.

Su Chong smiled and said, “I do have something to tell you.”

“Father, Mother, I want to marry Lin Yaoyao. Please give us your blessings.”

Su Chong stood up and looked at Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao with a serious expression.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were stunned.

It took them a while to come back to their senses. Su Sanlang repeated, “You said you like Lin Yaoyao and that you want to marry her?”

Madam Zhao also came back to her senses. She was a little conflicted. “But she’s so much older than you. Why would you like her?”

The couple knew that Su Chong had someone in his heart, but they had never thought that this person would be Lin Yaoyao.

The age difference was too great. They didn’t think about it at all.

However, Su Chong was standing in front of them. Every word came from the bottom of his heart. He was so serious.

Su Xiaoling and Su Xiaolu fell silent.

Madam Zhao’s eyes were filled with worry. She frowned and said, “She’s too old… You guys…”

Madam Zhao still could not bring herself to say the words ‘unsuitable’. She was a little hurt. Her mind was filled with one sentence. How could it be Lin Yaoyao? Why was it Lin Yaoyao?
