Chapter 1036 - 1079: Still the Good Son-in-law of the Past
Love requires effort and dedication. A pair of lovers can’t stay together based solely on love; they both need to work together to nurture their relationship. Only by doing so can their love last and their family be happy.
Under Li Yifei’s deliberate efforts, the atmosphere at home had been incredibly pleasant recently. Everyday, everyone was cheerful and visibly happier than before. This gave Li Yifei even more motivation. Aside from his career, he devoted the rest of his time to his family. Whether it was watching a movie, shopping, admiring the moonlight from a mountaintop, or listening to the waves by the sea, sometimes a simple activity could bring joy to his family members. Why wouldn’t Li Yifei do them?
Having chosen to be with his family, Li Yifei knew he had to give something in return. They had already embraced him with the utmost tolerance. If he did not make an extra effort to bring them happiness, he would truly be letting them down.
However, in recent times, Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong were feeling quite troubled. Both sets of parents were pressuring them to pursue their goals, especially Xu Yingying’s parents, who frequently called to urge Xu Yingying to formalize her marriage with Li Yifei.
Both of them already had their marriage certificate, but to the elderly, without a wedding ceremony, it wasn’t really considered a true marriage. Only after a wedding would they feel that Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were truly married, and only then would it put their minds at ease.
Xu Yingying herself was looking forward to having a wedding ceremony, but given the current situation at home, it wasn’t appropriate to hold one. If she and Li Yifei were to have a wedding, it would undoubtedly upset the others. Xu Yingying was highly respected in the family, even Su Mengxin respected her opinions, so she had to set a good example.
For now, she could only keep delaying, but it seemed like she couldn’t put it off much longer. Her parents were planning to visit in the next few days. The reason they gave was to check on the house that was almost ready, but their main goal was still to push Li Yifei and Xu Yingying to have a wedding ceremony. If they didn’t get an answer, they were prepared to stay put.
Xu Yingying was at her wits’ end, and Lin Qiong was equally overwhelmed. Having just finished work for the day, Lin Qiong lamented to Li Yifei, "What should I do, my parents are coming, and they won’t listen to reason."
