Chapter 889
Ye Xingguang took out the marriage certificate, and Song Chuanqi didn’t practice his calligraphy anymore. He came over to look at his daughter’s marriage certificate, his spirits lifted by the happy occasion: “The photo looks good, the photographer has some real skill. Your mother and I can finally see you settled down. Let’s celebrate properly tonight.”
After he finished speaking, he turned to Ye Junqi and said, “Kid, you better treat my daughter well from now on, or I’ll make sure you regret it.”
“Dad, please feel free to keep me in line,” Ye Junqi replied.
Standing to the side, Ye Xingguang smiled, feeling so blessed to have her parents’ support.
She looked up at Ye Junqi, and when the charming man with the captivating dark eyes noticed her gaze, he looked back at her. For some reason, the man who usually didn’t smile much seemed to have a persistent smile that hadn’t left his eyes and brows all day, and at this moment, his lips curved into a smile again.
“Right, just now your Grandma Shen had an invitation sent over saying you’ve been nominated at a music award ceremony and might even win. She said you should attend in a few days.”
Bai Lanwu went to fetch the invitation and handed it to her.
Ye Xingguang opened it and could hardly believe it: “This is an invitation to the annual Golden Melody Awards ceremony, inviting me to participate?”
Bai Lanwu explained, “According to your Grandma Shen, you’ve been nominated for the Golden Melody Award for Best Composer of the Year. However, this invitation was sent to Xia Qiongqiong. She said it’s up to you whether you want to accept this award.”
“Ah, I see the name now.”
The pieces she had handed over to Master Gu had made Ling Han’s new album a huge hit, and now Ling Han was still dominating all the major music charts. She was known in the industry as a gold medal mystery composer, but being nominated was still beyond her expectations.
She wasn’t sure if she should accept the award.
She sought Ye Junqi’s opinion, “What do you think, should I attend?”
“This is a recognition of your talent, you should go.”
Bai Peiluan hadn’t understood what was going on yet: “What are you all talking about? My precious daughter-in-law won an award? A music grand prize?”
Bai Peiluan leaned over to look, saw Xia Qiongqiong’s name on the invitation, and was disappointed for a moment: “This isn’t my daughter-in-law.”
“Mom, I am Xia Qiongqiong.”
“What? Ah?” Bai Peiluan was flabbergasted, and after a few seconds, her face exploded with shock: “Oh my, my precious daughter-in-law, how did this silly boy of mine manage to find such a treasure?”
Ye Junqi’s face was covered in black lines: Which of her eyes saw any connection between him and the word “silly”?
Bai Peiluan was so ecstatic that she became almost incoherent: “His father always knew he liked mermaids, so we were always busy trying to arrange a marriage with the Xia family for him. But this kid was never enthusiastic or cold about it, making us clueless about his thoughts. Turns out, this was the reason!”
In fact, after all that had happened, Ye Baixiu had guessed as much but still kept a stern face: “You rascal, not willing to admit who you liked, and keeping quiet even knowing we got it wrong. If you had straightly told me you liked Xingguang, I wouldn’t have tried to set you up with the wrong person.”
“Yes, it’s my fault.”
Having just made his father take the blame, now he could only shoulder all the blame himself. Anyway, he was in a good mood today having gotten his marriage certificate.noveldrama
Over here, Bai Peiluan was beaming, probably guessing what they had been discussing earlier and what they were apprehensive about: “Go, of course you should go. Why not? My daughter-in-law is talented, so should we hide her away and not let anyone know?”
