Pan Xiangxiang paused.

She looked at Pan Mingyue and said, “I shouldn’t be surprised given your good looks. Where is he from? How long have you been together? How is he? Do you have a photo of him…”

Pan Mingyue answered as she went through the documents, “We’ve known each other for a couple of years already. We’re getting married in September.”

She thought for a moment before continuing, “I came back this time to invite you guys to the wedding, but I couldn’t find the occasion to tell you.”

Boom.

Pan Xiangxiang sat on the bed and said, “Wait a minute, am I hearing things right?”

She then shook her hands and asked Pan Mingyue not to answer.

Not only did she have a boyfriend, but she was also getting married?

Pan Xiangxiang walked downstairs in shock.

Downstairs, the lady from next door was still gossiping with Aunt.

They loved to gossip in this village. Hence, almost everyone knew about the niece that returned from the Pan family.

No one looked like Pan Mingyue in this region.

Someone already came over to find out more about her on the second day of her arrival.

The Pan family already had Pan Ji. When they heard that Pan Mingyue was from Beijing University, they were even more curious.

Aunt passed her a basket as she spoke to the lady from next door when she saw Pan Xiangxiang come down. She then said, “Go fetch some chili and vegetables.”

Pan Xiangxiang took the basket.

She wanted to tell her mom when she heard that they were still discussing the mayor’s son. But she decided to tell her after the lady left.

The mayor’s family was great as well. His son was handsome and was a graduate from overseas. Pan Xiangxiang felt that if Pan Mingyue’s boyfriend wasn’t up to standards, the mayor’s son would be a good choice as well.

…

Upstairs.

Pan Mingyue was done looking through the documents and was speaking to Chang Ning. “I didn’t get any updates from Augustus. Is there anything going on with Mr. Ken?”

As she spoke, someone knocked on the door.

Aunt entered.

“I’ll send you the rest of the files after I’m done with them. Do let me know Mr. Ken’s request.” Pan Mingyue told Chang Ning some other things before hanging up.

Aunt put the fruits down and said, “It’s alright, do your work.”

It was normal for Pan Ji to work at home too.

“It’s alright. They aren’t important. I’m on vacation, anyway,” Pan Mingyue said as she got up.

Aunt smiled as she saw her laptop. She asked, “Does that belong to your company?”

The website was black and looked weird. Aunt had never seen a website like this page, but she saw Pan Mingyue’s account name: [Mingyue].

That was how she guessed that it belonged to Pan Mingyue’s company.

“I guess you can put it that way,” Pan Mingyue said as she looked at the laptop.

Aunt nodded and handed her a piece of apple. She paused for a while before asking, “I’ve heard from Xiangxiang just now. You have a boyfriend… You should bring him over. What does he do for a living? Let us take a look at him.”

She looked at Pan Mingyue and felt that she must have been lied to.

Why was she getting married all of a sudden?

Aunt was worried.

“He, erm, is from the military,” Pan Mingyue answered.

Aunt was worried and said, “Oh, bring him over if you have the time.”

“He was supposed to come with me, but I wanted to inform you guys first.” Pan Mingyue asked her aunt to sit down and said, “I told him to come tomorrow just now.”

“Tomorrow?” Aunt stood up after just sitting down. “You should have said earlier.”

She turned around in panic and said, “Wait, let me ask your uncle to get some groceries from town. You, you…”

She then hurried downstairs.

Pan Mingyue couldn’t respond in time.

…

The next day.

Everyone in the Pan family was busy.

Her uncle was sitting on a stand in his backyard, smoking and talking to himself.

Pan Xiangxiang was holding onto a bowl of porridge. “We should fetch him from the village’s entrance. Will he recognize the entrance?”

“We’ll go there later,” Uncle replied.

The lady next door was being nosey and was speaking to Aunt. “You must be joking. Your niece has a boyfriend already? What does he do? How is he like?”

“He’s from the military,” Aunt replied with a sigh.

She knew what happened to Pan Mingyue’s father and was worried about it last time.

“From the military? How could you agree to it?” The lady next door was having her breakfast as well as they chatted underneath a tree outside of their house. “Your niece must be blind. With her resume and the fact that she graduated from Beijing University, she could get any guy she wanted. Look at the mayor’s family…”

The lady from next door wasn’t wrong. The common perception was that people from the military were there because they couldn’t study.

They weren’t aware that there were schools that officers could attend.

“What’s wrong? My niece’s boyfriend wouldn’t be worse than her,” Aunt said as she looked at the lady.

“Fine, your niece is the best. Your niece is capable, but she didn’t choose a good husband.” The lady next door didn’t want to argue with her. She stayed around to look at the village’s entrance.

Just as the two of them finished talking.

A car appeared on the horizon.

The lady saw the car and said, “I see a car, could that be your niece’s boyfriend? I think it should be. Isn’t the car heading towards us? Let me see what he is like. She’s not even attracted to the mayor’s son.”

Pan Xiangxiang put her bowl on the floor, approached them, and asked, “Is that brother-in-law? He’s so early…”

Then, she paused after seeing what the car looked like, shocked.
