Chapter 444: Shameless

Shao Qihai’s gaze slowly became determined. Ji Buwang gritted his teeth. “You won’t get a chance. Jingzhe and I will always love each other. At most, you’ll be witnessing our happiness.”

Ji Buwang thought, ‘You’ll keep your eyes on me? I hope you won’t vomit blood by watching.’

Shao Qihai choked when he heard that. “That better be true.”

Ji Buwang was about to say something when he saw Mu Teng return after paying. Seeing that he was focused on looking at something and wasn’t paying attention to the stairs, he couldn’t care less about Shao Qihai and quickly walked over to him.

“Dad, watch the stairs.”

Shao Qihai also saw this and almost acted at the same time as Ji Buwang.

Mu Teng looked at the two people running over together and then heard them call him ‘Dad’ in unison. He fell silent for a moment and chose to take Ji Buwang’s hand. He told Shao Qihai amiably, “Qihai, just call me Uncle in the future. Or you can call me Old Mu. Everyone in the city likes to call me that.”

In any case, he should stop calling him ‘Dad’.

Now that Shao Qihai wasn’t his son-in-law anymore but an outsider, Mu Teng was very polite to him.

Shao Qihai smiled stiffly and retracted his hand. “Yes, I’ll call you Uncle in the future.” As for calling him Old Mu, he pretended not to hear it.

Looking at Ji Buwang’s smug expression, Shao Qihai felt quite upset. “Um, Uncle, do you have any time to eat together?”

A proud son of heaven like Ji Buwang was very respectful to Mu Teng, yet he hadn’t done so in the past. Shao Qihai wanted to treat Mu Teng to a meal to apologize.

“Maybe in the future. I still have something to do today.” Mu Teng was in a hurry to go back and give Li Zhaodi the three gold pieces.

When Mu Teng thought of Li Zhaodi, he couldn’t care less about Shao Qihai. Then, he bade him farewell and left. His footsteps were quite fast, and he couldn’t care less about Ji Buwang either.

Ji Buwang was about to chase after him, but he turned around and looked at Shao Qihai instead. “Shao Qihai, all jokes aside, I will really live a good life with Jingzhe. I know that your feelings for Jingzhe are very deep, but it’s too late now, so stop watching us.

“Look for your own happiness. I hope you will find it too.”

If he kept immersing himself in the past and trained his eyes on them, he would only feel pain. He had to move forward.

Shao Qihai looked at Ji Buwang and laughed bitterly. He then muttered softly, “If possible, I hope that happens too.”

Mu Teng quickly returned home and eagerly delivered the three pieces of gold he had bought. When Li Zhaodi received the three pieces of gold, she laughed until tears came out of her eyes. “It’s fine if the children make a fuss, but why are you making a fuss too?”

“I just feel that I’ve done too badly in the past after seeing what Buwang has done for Jingzhe.”

“No way.” Li Zhaodi started praising him, looking embarrassed. “Even though outsiders keep saying that you’re a rascal and a lazy person, whenever there’s a mouthful of delicious food, you will always think of me and the children. The last thing I would regret in my life is… marrying you.”

At their age, it was rare for them to say such things. She felt a little shy saying this out of the blue.

Mu Teng was moved when he heard that and blushed. “I’ve never regretted it either. No matter what others say about you, I feel that I married the right person.”

Li Zhaodi didn’t have a nice family, she wasn’t good-looking, and she was also shrewish. However, she was devoted to him and the children, so he had always been glad he had married her.

“I was lucky to marry you in this lifetime. If I wasn’t useless, I wouldn’t have made you suffer so much and get beaten and scolded so often.”

Li Zhaodi shook her head. “No. If you weren’t protecting me, I would have been chased back home or beaten to death by my mother-in-law. It’s only because you protected me that I’ve been kind of fine. I know all about it. In the past, you were the second son that your mother doted on. It’s all because of me that she was disappointed in you and you lost her favor.”

“You’re my wife, so I naturally have to protect you. Quick, put on the necklace and the ring. Tomorrow, the guests will keep talking about them. Flaunt in front of them.”

Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang, who were eavesdropping, walked out the door. Ji Buwang smiled. “Dad and Mom are so close. I won’t ask for anything else. I just hope we’ll be like them in the future.”

“Me too. I hope we’re just like Mom and Dad. I hope we grow old together.”

Ji Buwang hugged Mu Jingzhe. “We will.”

Just as he had told Shao Qihai during the day, he wouldn’t give him a chance.

It would still take some time for Mu Jingzhe to make a wedding dress for Li Zhaodi, but the next day, half the county knew about the golden ring, the golden necklace, and the golden earrings that Li Zhaodi was wearing. They even knew that Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang were going to take wedding photos for them.

As Li Zhaodi bragged, everyone smiled. When they turned around, they couldn’t help but say, “Geez. Who would wear a bridal gown and take wedding photos at such an old age? Won’t it be an eyesore? Only young people wear such things.”

“Isn’t that so? Anyone who doesn’t know better might think that they’re the ones getting married. They’re old and shameless! It’s clearly their daughter getting married, but they’re so busy. This is absurd. There’s not much time left until the wedding. Instead of preparing for the wedding properly, they’re wasting their time on something like this.”

Although they were complaining, if one listened carefully, they would notice an indescribable trace of envy and jealousy in their voices. Why hadn’t their children thought of this?

That day, many children were scolded by their parents for no reason. Their children also heard about this matter. Some of them couldn’t tell that their parents were envious, but some could.

Although it was quite a headache, in the next two days, many people really went to the photo studio to ask how much it would cost to take wedding photos for their parents.

Some people gave up after hearing the price, while others were interested. The only problem was that the wedding outfits used for wedding photos might not be suitable for parents their age.

Although Mu Jingzhe and the others didn’t take photos at the photo studio, they indirectly brought the photo studio a lot of business.

At first, a few people went to ask one after another. However, when Li Zhaodi’s wedding dress was completed and the photos were taken, more people went to the photo studio to enquire.

The wedding dress Mu Jingzhe had designed for Li Zhaodi was suitable for her figure. In addition, she had personally helped her with her makeup, allowing Li Zhaodi to reach the peak of her attractiveness. Mu Teng also looked quite good after cleaning up.

Mu Jingzhe accepted some of the credit, but more importantly, the result was so good because the two of them felt blissful. Happiness was the best cosmetic.

The wedding photos taken were very nice. So nice that everyone was tempted. Mu Jingzhe successfully caused the county city to turn into Great Eastern Village by triggering another trend—parent wedding photoshoots.

However, this would all happen in the future. After Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng took their wedding photos, for two days, they felt so blissful that it was as if they were floating over the clouds. Then, seeing that the wedding was approaching, they quickly went to prepare for it.

On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe was still a little regretful. Because she couldn’t go anywhere else to take photos, she couldn’t have hers or Li Zhaodi’s photos taken wherever she wanted, like in the modern era. She only took photos near the county city.

However, Mu Jingzhe was smart enough not to voice her regret. Otherwise, the wedding photo trend in the county might become even crazier.

As the day of the wedding approached, Mu Jingzhe finally realized that she was getting married.. This was her first time getting married in two lifetimes, so she was actually a little nervous.
