Romantic Medical Immortal

"Grandpa, stop praising him. This man is full of mischief. Who knows if one day he’ll trick even me."

Kong Lingwen said this, but her eyes were full of laughter.

"I’d never trick you, my dear lady."

Yang Cheng chuckled, reaching out to wrap his arm around her shoulder, and she only symbolically struggled for a moment before leaning into his embrace, snuggled together in front of everyone.

Seeing the couple’s loving appearance, Elder Kong’s smile grew wider. He cleared his throat and said, "Xiaochen, you’ve been back for a few days now. I think we should strike while the iron is hot and have the wedding."

As soon as these words were spoken, the living room fell silent, and everyone looked towards Yang Cheng.

At this moment, it was Kong Lingchuan who first broke the silence, "Brother Cen, hurry up and marry my sister, so she stops bullying me at home every day!"

"Kong Lingchuan, are you itchy for trouble?"

Kong Lingwen glared at him, then looked at Elder Kong and softly said, "Grandpa, isn’t it too rushed? Give us a little more time."

"You guys aren’t strangers, and you get along great. The wedding is just a formality to show outsiders that the Kong family hasn’t fallen, and my granddaughter has found a capable man. That’s all. You don’t need to feel pressured."

After Elder Kong finished speaking, he looked up at Yang Cheng, "Xiaochen, what do you think?"

"Grandpa, we..."

Kong Lingwen felt Yang Cheng didn’t want to get married so quickly and was about to retort when she heard his firm voice near her ear: "Let’s follow Grandpa’s wishes."

Though he had agreed to marry to help the Kong family through a tough spot, now that it’s set in motion, there’s no point in delaying it. The sooner the wedding is done, the sooner it can help Kong Lingwen ward off some unwelcome people.

Upon hearing this, Kong Lingwen abruptly lifted her gaze. She knew Yang Cheng agreed for her sake, but her heart couldn’t help but feel a touch of sweetness, slowly raising the corners of her mouth.

"I’ve picked a few good dates for you. Choose one, and I’ll have Wen Xu immediately start preparing."

Elder Kong smiled, taking out a red paper from his pocket with several dates written on it.

"Grandpa, you even picked the dates already?"

Seeing him carry a red paper around, Kong Lingwen was a bit amused and helpless.

"Of course, I’ve been looking forward to this day for ages. Lingchuan is still young and hasn’t settled down, so no rush for him to marry, but as the future head of the Kong family, you must have strong support."

"Xiaochen can help you in every way, plus you two clearly have mutual feelings, so it’s not forced. Whether you continue to be together later is up to you, this old man will never interfere."

Elder Kong spoke clearly; for now, if they can help the Kong family through the tough times, that’s enough. If they remain in love later, great, but if not, it won’t be forced.

He urged impatiently, "Quick, pick a date, and I’ll arrange it immediately."

Yang Cheng glanced at the dates and chose the nearest one, "How about the 20th of this month? Three days should be enough time, right?"

"Of course, it’s enough! The wedding will be held at home; it might not be as grand as a hotel, but it’s comfortable. I’ve drafted the guest list, take a look if there’s anyone to add."

Elder Kong cheerfully said, and he wished for the wedding to happen soon, so he promptly signaled Wen Xu beside him.

Wen Xu turned and handed over a list. Yang Cheng and Kong Lingwen glanced at it; it was densely covered with names, almost all prominent figures in Zhonghai.

"Grandpa, will these people come?"

Kong Lingwen’s expression showed some concern.

Everyone knows the Kong family isn’t what it used to be. With Kong Jingshan having passed away not long ago, many avoid the Kong family, afraid of bad luck.

"Whether they come or not is their business; inviting them is ours."

Elder Kong put away his smile, speaking seriously, "Lingwen, remember, the Kong family’s reputation can’t be lost. Even if they don’t come, we must maintain proper etiquette to avoid being accused of lacking manners."

"I’ve got it, Grandpa."

Kong Lingwen nodded, her cheeks full of happiness.

"Now let’s discuss the wedding details. Our Kong family is currently a bit deserted, and the collateral relatives can’t be relied upon, so I’ll need all of you to help a little more."

Elder Kong looked at everyone present; besides the Kong family grandfather and granddaughter and the servant, there were Gao Peng and the sisters from the Cheng family.

Cheng Qiyue was the first to express her support, smiling, "No problem, I’m Yang Cheng’s bodyguard, so naturally organizing his wedding is my duty."

"I’ve been living at the Kong family for so long, I’m practically part of the family, so of course I’ll help."

Gao Peng quickly chimed in.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Cheng Ruonan, who had remained silent, reluctantly nodded.

Though she knew she could never marry Yang Cheng, seeing him with another woman still made her uncomfortable.

The sky was getting dark, and everyone returned to their rooms.

As the engaged couple, Yang Cheng and Kong Lingwen naturally shared a room.

Once inside, Yang Cheng dialed Ni Qingyao’s number; he was getting married, and of course, he had to inform the two sisters, Yang Rou and Yang Xiao.

"Hello, Aunty Ni."

"Xiaochen, it’s late. What’s up?"

On the other end, Ni Qingyao yawned, evidently ready for bed.

"Aunty, I have something to tell you. I’m getting married on the 20th of this month; bring Yang Rou and Xiao Xiao over for it."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then came a sharp female voice, "What?! You’re getting married?"

Yang Rou’s voice was full of disbelief, unable to process for a while.

"How can you suddenly decide to get married? We haven’t seen you for so long, and the moment you contact us, you drop this bombshell?"

This time, Yang Xiao’s voice came through the phone, with a crying tone.

"Don’t be so worked up, let me explain..."

"Explain what! A marriage is such a big deal, and you didn’t even consult us before deciding, especially since Xiao Xiao and I are yours already, waiting for you to come back. How can you marry someone else!"

Yang Rou’s voice choked up; she knew Yang Cheng had other women around, but she didn’t care. After all, she was Yang Cheng’s first woman and held a sisterly bond with him, making her a unique presence.

Although she had been married before, Kong Lingwen is a woman, so that marriage didn’t count. She hoped Yang Cheng would one day propose to her, but someone else got ahead.

Then Ni Qingyao’s voice came over the phone, "You two stop arguing, let Xiaochen finish."

The phone line quieted down, and Yang Cheng finally spoke, "Actually, the person I’m marrying is someone you’ve met before—Kong Lingwen."

With these words, silence returned to the other side of the phone, and he could imagine the stunned looks on the faces of the mother and her two children.
