Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 784 - 654: Does He Have a Problem? (Third Update)
"Stop it! You’re not even fully recovered yet. What wedding are you planning?" Yi Luowa pulled down his hand. "Let me help you back to the room."
Tong Airui turned his head to look at Danton lying on the bed. "Talk to Mom and Dad, tell them we’re ready anytime."
Danton waved his hand with a smile. "Go rest already. We’ll talk about it after you’re fully healed."
"No need to wait..."
Yi Luowa dragged him out of the room.
Tong Airui, annoyed, lightly tapped her nose. "What’s the rush? I wasn’t even done talking."
"What’s the point of talking so early? You’re still relying on me to take care of you. Or are you planning to have people carry you to your wedding?"
Tong Airui pouted. "I don’t need anyone to carry me. Let go, I can walk on my own."
Watching him stride determinedly back to the bedroom, Yi Luowa pursed her lips and chuckled. This is what they call a smart guy—didn’t Danton’s one sentence have him walking himself?
Danton opened the door slightly and whispered, "Sis, now he can’t pester you anymore, right?"
Yi Luowa winked at him with a smile. "Thanks!"
"I just can’t stand him bugging you. Sis, I’m going back to sleep now."
"Alright, sleep well." Yi Luowa grinned and returned to the room.
Tong Airui saw her enter and smiled. "Honey, call Ai Ni later and ask her to prepare two sets of wedding dresses."
"Okay."
"I’m not bothering with anything on Mom’s side. For our wedding, where do you want it held?"
"Okay."
Tong Airui’s face darkened. "...Yi Luowa, say ’Okay’ one more time."
Yi Luowa took a step back, laughing. "Haha... Come hit me then! I dare you—you won’t catch me."
"Don’t think I can’t catch you just because I haven’t fully recovered." Tong Airui sped up a couple of steps.
Yi Luowa, seeing he was serious, quickly steadied him. "Don’t push yourself. Fine, I’ll let you hit me."
Tong Airui playfully pinched her nose. "I don’t have time to hit you right now. I need to talk to Mom and Dad about this and have them start preparing."
"You haven’t even had your stitches removed! Stop running around."
"I’m fine. Even if it kills me this time, I won’t stall you anymore." Tong Airui grinned and headed downstairs.
Yi Luowa puffed up her cheeks and hurried after him.
Long Che and Tong Yao, hearing the two of them were finally planning a wedding, let out a long sigh of relief.
Tong Yao checked the time. "No need to wait for your mother-in-law to call; I’ll give her a call."
Yi Luowa smiled. "Mom, don’t rush. Tong Airui isn’t fully recovered yet."
"The call needs to be made now so we can start planning."
Long Che looked up at Tong Airui. "Your Uncle Muta once said he wanted your wedding in the royal palace. Have you and Luowa thought about it?"
Tong Airui shook his head. "I don’t want the wedding in the royal palace."
"Alright, let’s ask your mother-in-law what her thoughts are." Long Che patted Tong Yao’s arm. "Make the call. Once Rui’er and Luowa’s wedding is done, we can finally relax."
Yi Luowa pressed her lips together. "Mom, why don’t you make the call, and I’ll go check if the kids are awake."
"Go ahead." Tong Yao smiled as she dialed Queen Haotian’s number.
The three kids were up and ready, yet Tong Yao and Queen Haotian were still chatting on the phone. Yi Luowa smiled helplessly.
Tong Yao spoke for another ten minutes before finally hanging up. She smiled at Yi Luowa and said, "Luowa, sit down. Mom has something to share."
"Alright." Yi Luowa sat down with a smile.
"Your mother said she’ll host the wedding in the royal palace, so we’ll follow Airui’s idea and host ours on the cruise ship."
Yi Luowa tilted her head to glance at Tong Airui.
Tong Airui smiled. "I’ve been planning this for years. Finally, it’s happening."
Yi Luowa smiled. "Can’t we just have one wedding?"
"Doesn’t work that way. Ours here will be the official ceremony, and your mom’s will be the family reception."
"Oh, that’s fine. I thought we’d have to do it twice—how troublesome."
"It’s nearly two anyway. Your mom’s guest list is no shorter than ours."
Yi Luowa pouted.
Tong Airui smiled and ruffled her hair. "You’re always scared of wedding stuff. Don’t worry; you just have to show up."
"When’s the date set?"
"As soon as possible. It’ll get cold in Haotian soon, so we’re tentatively picking September 20th."
Yi Luowa froze. "Do you know what day it is today?"
Tong Airui grinned. "September 5th."
"That’s only two weeks away!"
"I know."
"Will we make it in time?"
"I already said you don’t need to worry. We’ve got it covered."
Yi Luowa shook her head helplessly.
In the coming days, the entire family mobilized to prepare for the wedding.
On September 19th, the family boarded the cruise ship. Looking at the newly decorated vessel, Yi Luowa pursed her lips and smiled.
Tong Airui pulled his wife into a room and said with a grin, "The guests are arriving one by one. I’ll go greet them. Today, you just relax and rest—you’ll be the most beautiful bride tomorrow."
Yi Luowa pouted. "Really? I don’t have to do anything?"
"Nothing. Your sister and everyone will keep you company. I’ll go entertain the guests."
"Go, go." Yi Luowa plopped onto the sofa.
Tong Airui chuckled, pinched her cheek, and strode out.
"Well, well. He didn’t stick around to dote on you longer today?" Huo Li’s voice came from outside the door.
"If there were no guests, do you think he wouldn’t be glued to me?" Little Raindrop said with a laugh as she pushed the door open.
"Come in quickly." Yi Luowa smiled and stood up. "Where are the kids? Didn’t bring them?"
"Your brother-in-law is watching them. Our mission today and tomorrow is just to keep you company." Huo Li grabbed Yi Luowa’s hand with a smile. "I’ll sleep with you tonight."
"Huh?" Yi Luowa was taken aback.
"It’s tradition! On the night before the wedding, you and Airui can’t stay together." Teng Ai Ni laughed as she closed the door. "Let me shut the door first. Let’s chat about some secrets—don’t let Youyou and the others overhear."
"That sounds good." Yi Luowa pulled the three of them to sit down. "Back then, when Tong Airui had surgery, everyone was worried he’d have complications. Turns out, he’s even more of a handful now! At least tonight, I can have a good night’s sleep."
"Can you really sleep?" Huo Li joked. "The night before my wedding, you stayed up with me all night."
"Tong Airui and I are practically an old married couple now. I’m not as pathetic as you were back then!"
Huo Li chuckled. "By the way, your second uncle says he still wants your dad to hand you over to Airui tomorrow. He won’t get involved this time."
Yi Luowa immediately protested. "That was settled long ago! How can he back out now? No way—I need to find him."
"Look at this girl! She hasn’t even talked for a minute and she’s already running off!" Huo Li pointed toward the door in exasperation as Yi Luowa stormed out.
Yi Luowa hurriedly asked everyone she saw where her second uncle was.
Tong Airui, spotting his wife searching, thought she was looking for him and quickly approached her.
"Honey..."
"Hubby, have you seen my second uncle?"
"He’s on the right deck. I’ll take you."
"You go handle your guests. I’ll go myself. It was agreed long ago that he and my dad would both hand me to you, but now he’s going back on it."
Tong Airui frowned slightly. "I’ll come with you."
They went hand in hand to the right deck.
"Mr. Yi, I hope we’ll have good cooperation in the future."
"Mr. Joel, please take care of us."
Yi Luowa pulled on Tong Airui’s arm. "Why is he here too?"
"Mom invited her classmates."
"So much for keeping it simple." Yi Luowa pouted. "Let’s wait a bit."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Not afraid of him, just don’t want to talk to him."
The couple whispered for a while. Once Joel left, Yi Luowa finally pulled Tong Airui to find Yi Weiyang.
When Yi Weiyang saw them, he smiled. "Aren’t there guests you need to attend to?"
Yi Luowa pouted. "Nothing’s more important than talking to you."
"Everyone’s busy. Talk after your wedding."
Yi Luowa grabbed her uncle’s arm. "Second Uncle, once the wedding’s over, there’ll be nothing left to talk about."
"Alright then, speak. You’ve got five minutes. I have other guests to meet."
Yi Luowa pouted. "Tomorrow, I want you and my dad to both hand me over to Tong Airui. If you don’t, I’m not getting married."
"You brat!"
"Now for the second matter..." Yi Luowa glanced around. "I don’t like Joel. Do fewer deals with him."
Yi Weiyang froze and looked at Tong Airui. "Does he have a problem?"
Tong Airui smiled and shook his head. "Not a big problem—he just once helped someone falsify evidence that harmed Luowa."
Yi Weiyang slapped his forehead. "Now that you mention it, I remember. Thankfully, I only made a small deal with him. Once it’s done, I’ll cancel the contract."
