Chapter 1455 Farm Wedding (Part III)
No matter how often Lu Zihao a.s.sured Long Jinjing that he loved her current figure, she still couldn"t stop her insecurities. She knew in her mind that her current way of thinking was unhealthy, but she couldn"t help herself from feeling this way.
The good thing was that she recognized that she had a problem and was willing to solve it by seeing her therapist on a regular basis. Thanks to this, she didn"t spiral downwards into suffering a full-blown post-partum depression.
Letting go of her current insecurities was a daily struggle. It was a long battle, but with the support of her husband, family, and friends, she noticed that she was gradually getting better.
Not yet 100% better, but at least getting there.
Seeing that she hadn"t replied yet, Lu Zihao released a heavy sigh. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Just tell me whenever you"re ready. Or we can wait until these two rascals can walk, so they can march on the aisle on their own. What do you think, hm?"
She smiled, imagining it. Indeed, it would be adorable if their twins could walk down the aisle together with their cousins.
"Okay."
Lu Zihao"s mouth curved into a devilish smile. He was relieved that she was feeling a bit better about it.
"Let"s go," he said. "These two brats are already wiggling like itchy worms."
Long Jinjing chuckled. "They want to stay with their cousins."
"Mikhail, Dmitri, behave!"
The babies ignored their dad"s scolding and continued wriggling in his arms. If Lu Zihao wasn"t strong enough, he might have already dropped them especially since the two little fatties were quite heavy. He was annoyed and wore a scary expression, but he still carried his two naughty sons carefully, afraid that he would drop them by accident.
"Big Bro Boss, Sis Jing!" Dom called them. "Hurry up! We"re taking photos together! Grandpa Boss says that you"re too slow!"
"We"re coming!" Long Jinjing raised her voice in response and pulled her husband carrying their children.
They hurried to where everyone was gathered.
Like the wedding ceremony, the reception was also quite casual.
The Chua siblings, Dom and Clover, acted as emcees.
Clover was still jet-lagged. She only arrived yesterday afternoon in time for the rehearsal all the way from France. Still, she gave her all to host the wedding reception with her brother.
Anyone who wanted to make a speech could do so. There were also no scheduled performances, but Iris and Jin Chonglin still prepared a solo performance each and a duet together.
Dom and Clover were both naturally funny, so they livened up the atmosphere.
The food was also delicious. Everything was fresh and directly sourced from Lin Yehan"s farms and fields. It was a mixture of fancy cuisine and homemade dishes. The portions were generous.
n.o.body would go hungry because everyone could eat anytime during the reception. Even the emcees, Dom and Clover, were eating and drinking in between hosting.
When it was party time, Lin Yehan invited his bride to the dancefloor for the first dance. Neither was a good dancer, but everyone cheered for them, making them comfortable.
"I"m so happy," Jiang Ying Yue whispered while hugging Lin Yehan shoulders.
Lin Yehan smiled. "Me too, wife. Me, too."
###
After the wedding, it was now time for the mother and son, Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun, to officially move out of Dragon Palace Home #10 into their new home at Lin Yehan"s farm villa.
Lin Yehan initially wanted his bride and bonus son to officially live with him at his farm villa before the wedding, but everybody except him was reluctant to do so soon.
Iris became emotional as she gave her G.o.dson a tight hug. She knew that this day would come, but she was reluctant—extremely reluctant—to let her beloved G.o.dson move out.
"Little Jun, don"t forget your Mama Xiulan and Papa Liwei, okay?"
"Mama, no cwy!" (Mama, don"t cry!)
The child wrapped his little arms around his G.o.dmother"s neck and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek.
Jiang Ying Yue watched them with a helpless smile. "Why are you acting like you"ll no longer see your G.o.dson? I"ll bring Little Jun with me when I go to work here every day. You"ll still see him regularly after our honeymoon."
"I know," Iris said, sighing. "But I"m still sad that Little Jun won"t live under my roof anymore."
Later, Iris and Jin Liwei gave their G.o.dson another tight embrace before watching Lin Yehan drive the mother and son away.
Iris and Jin Liwei decided against taking their twin sons, Little Mochi and Little Matcha, to see off their elder cousin. The children would definitely become inconsolable again just like when the Lu twins moved out.
It would be another period of big adjustment for everyone, especially the children. But change was inevitable. They couldn"t always stay together forever.
The important thing was that they would still remain connected for the rest of their lives as long as they made the effort to do so.
"Time flies by so fast," Iris murmured while resting her head on her husband"s chest.
"En." Jin Liwei pulled her closer and nuzzled her hair.
Then he noticed that she was once again pressing on her chest. He frowned. "Anxious again?"
"Hm? Oh. Yes, I think. Maybe it"s because I"m too sad about Little Jun moving out of our home. I"ve been dreading this moment for a long time."
"You sure?" he asked, still worried.
"I think so," she said, not really bothered about it anymore.
She had been having this anxiety for quite some time now. It was not a good feeling at all, but there was no use in worrying about it all the time and allowing it to hinder her daily activities.
The husband and wife returned inside the mansion to check on their twins.
Little Mochi and Little Matcha were taking a nap, completely unaware that their eldest cousin, Little Jun, had already moved out.
Iris and Jin Liwei were dreading the time when the twins would realize their eldest cousin"s absence. The babies would definitely throw another big tantrums just like when their Lu cousins moved out.
