Chapter 1425: The Song Couple (153)
Song Chen finally relented about Song Yiyan’s marriage. They would hold the wedding after Ling Sheng got married.
However, he still wanted them to get the marriage certificate first. They would get it at the date he picked.
The Song family thought that there was a happy occasion in the family, especially since Song Yiyan was pregnant. The old man, who was looking forward to seeing his grandson, would definitely order them to get married quickly.
After hearing that the marriage had been delayed, they were a little disappointed. However, no one dared to question the old man’s decision, it was up to him.
On the day Song Yiyan and Ji Xing registered their marriage.
The Song family held a banquet in the courtyard, saying that they were celebrating in advance. It was a lively occasion, and everyone who came was in the courtyard.
Song Chen happily brought Ji Xing and Song Yiyan to meet everyone. The last time Song Heng was engaged, an accident happened, and he did not have the time to introduce Ji Xing to many friends.
“He’s good-looking and talented, I heard that he even started a big company. The younger generation will surpa.s.s us in time and have a bright future!”
“General Song, you’re really lucky. This grandson-in-law is really handsome.”
“Old Song, come. Today is a big day, you must drink more.”
Song Chen was pulled to drink by his old friend.
Ji Xing walked forward to block the wine and smiled politely. “Grandpa isn’t in good health. The doctor said that he can’t drink, let me drink for him!”
“Old Song, you really got a good grandson-in-law. You can drink on behalf of your grandfather, but you have to drink two gla.s.ses!”
“Come, come, drink.”
It was crowded with friends and family. Song Yiyan followed Song Chen and Ji Xing and helped pour the wine!
After all, she was the main character of the day. Grandpa said that they should treat it as an engagement and not make a big deal out of it, everyone should just gather together and have fun.
“What’s wrong?” It wasn’t that Ji Xing couldn’t drink. He could drink very well. It was just that Song Yiyan didn’t like him drinking, so he didn’t drink.
However, on such a joyous day, he had to drink what he needed to drink. He could not let his friends and family who came over be disappointed.
“I’m fine with it.” Song Yiyan frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
But he couldn’t find out what was wrong.
She suspected that after she had a child in her stomach, her perception in a certain aspect had decreased. Recently, he could clearly feel that her reaction had slowed down.
“It’s normal here. There shouldn’t be any accidents.” Ji Xing took another serious look and didn’t find anything unusual. “I heard that it’s very sensitive when you’re pregnant. You’re thinking too much.”
“I hope I’m thinking too much,” Song Yiyan replied. She was already at another table and pouring wine.
The last time there was such an accident at Third Brother’s engagement ceremony, she and Ji Xing were right there but did not notice it. She did not know if anything would happen this time.
After hearing what she had to say, Ji Xing became vigilant, keeping an eye on his surroundings and protecting her.
Nothing unusual happened until the banquet ended and the guests dispersed. Everything looked normal.
Ji Xing brought Song Yiyan back to the house to rest. After a long day, a pregnant lady like her was easily tired.
Song Chen and Song Jing sent him off at the door.
Song Chen had decided to invite them to the banquet at the last minute. Song Shu and the others were in the army, so they couldn’t come back just like that. They couldn’t come back without applying for leave, so they missed the banquet.
Song Yiyan didn’t drink white wine, but after drinking a small gla.s.s of fruit wine, her head felt a little dizzy. She stepped into the second floor and her head suddenly hurt.
A white light flashed across her blurry mind. With a bang and a flash of fire, the person was swallowed by the flames.
“Yanyan, Yanyan.” Ji Xing held her nervously, his face filled with worry. “What’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
“It’s Uncle.” Song Yiyan’s face was pale as she squeezed out the words in pain. She pulled Ji Xing and was about to run down. “Call him, quickly call him. He’s in danger.”
Song Jing helped Song Chen in and saw her running down in a hurry. Ji Xing picked her up.
Song Chen panicked. “What’s wrong? Where are you feeling unwell? Hurry up and call the doctor. Call Dr. Lin over to take a look!”
Song Jing turned around to shout.
Ji Xing’s face darkened. “Uncle, there’s no need for a doctor. Hurry up and call Uncle and ask him not to go on a mission no matter what, it will be dangerous.”
There was an explosion and fire in the forest. According to what Yanyan said, something must have happened during the mission. As long as they didn’t go on the mission, their lives wouldn’t be in danger.
When Song Chen heard that something would happen to his eldest son, he became even more nervous and worried. “Yanyan, what happened to your uncle?”
Song Yiyan could read other people’s faces, she glanced at Song Chen’s face. His children’s palace was sunken and black miasma had appeared. “Grandpa, I don’t know the details.”
Song Jing waited anxiously for a response. “Dad, I can’t get through to my brother.”
Song Chen’s heart was in his throat. “Call the people in his unit and ask him what he’s doing.”
Song Jing called the army and was so worried that he wanted to cry. “Dad, no one in the army knows what mission he went on.”
Song Chen cursed at him for being useless, he took out his phone and dialed a number. In the end, he found out that Song Shu had accepted a top-secret mission and set off.
As for what mission it was, it was a mission directly issued by Rong Yin. No one knew what mission it was or where they were going.
Song Chen called Rong Yin next. “Minister Rong, where did Song Shu go?”
Rong Yin said, “This is a state secret. General Song, please forgive me for not telling you.”
Song Chen’s eyes turned red with anxiety and he gritted his teeth. “Rong Yin, I’m worried that something will happen to him. Tell me where he is!”
Rong Yin comforted him. “Old General, military orders are like mountains. How can it not be dangerous to carry out a top-secret mission? Before we set off, we followed the military order and wrote a will. We have long ignored our lives.”
Song Chen said, “He will die! Tell me where my son is!”
As a soldier, he naturally knew that every time he went on a mission, he never thought of returning alive.
However, the unknown danger was different from the known danger. He clearly knew that he would die, but he still couldn’t help it.
“Grandpa, give me the phone.” Song Yiyan took the phone. “Uncle Rong, it’s Yanyan. I saw something happen to my uncle. Tell us his whereabouts!”
Rong Yin paused for a moment and said in a serious voice, “Yanyan, this is a serious matter. It’s a national matter, not a private matter.”
Song Yiyan’s eyes were solemn. “I know the seriousness of the matter. You said that no matter what difficulties I face in the future, I can find you. I don’t want anything, I only want my uncle’s whereabouts. I’ll complete his mission.”
