Jun Shen gripped Jiang Yan’s hand tightly.
Looking around, Jun Shen suddenly thought of something, “Yan’er, why don’t we get married here? We can have another ceremony when we return to the capital, what do you think?”
The children were already so big; it would be good to marry sooner.
Jiang Yan agreed.
Jun Shen was ecstatic; he lifted Jiang Yan into his arms and ran a good distance before stopping.
They decided to act immediately.
That night, Jun Shen wrote a list, and the next day, he had Qing Yi and the others prepare according to the list, buying whatever was missing from the town or city.
After several days of preparation, Jun Shen finally had the betrothal gifts ready.
He re-proposed to Jiang Yan, then they went to town together to match their birth charts and choose a wedding date.
After some consultation, the eighth day of June was deemed auspicious for marriage.
They decided to set the wedding date for that day.
Chapter 132: I Want to Hug Them, What’s Wrong With That?
The relatives at home were far away, so Jiang Yan and Jun Shen decided not to invite them for now, planning to invite only Old Bai and the villagers.
For Jiang Xiaoxia’s side, Jiang Yan personally delivered the invitation.
Seeing Jiang Yan still calling her ‘sister’, Jiang Xiaoxia was extremely excited, “Jiang Yan, you still call me sister, don’t you hate me for deceiving you?”
Jiang Yan replied, “I don’t hate you, you were just following Ouyang Siyun’s orders. Besides, you’ve been very good to me and the children these days.”
“Yan’er, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…”
Jiang Xiaoxia still felt guilty.
Jiang Yan gently patted Jiang Xiaoxia’s back, “Sister, don’t keep apologizing to me, if you do, it means you don’t consider me your sister anymore.”
“Okay, okay, I won’t say it.”
Jiang Xiaoxia quickly wiped away her tears.
Jiang Yan then took Jiang Xiaoxia to meet Jiang Ling and the others, introducing them to each other.
“Xiaoxia Sister, hello.”
Jiang Ling and the others greeted in unison.
With so many new sisters, Jiang Xiaoxia was somewhat overwhelmed, “You, you all are good too.”
Jiang Ling said, “Xiaoxia Sister, I think you look somewhat like us, no wonder you could become our big sister’s sister.”
Jiang Yan laughed, “That’s fate.”
After resolving the tension, Jiang Xiaoxia felt much lighter, and her face was filled with more smiles.
Considering Jiang Yan was going to get married soon… Jiang Xiaxia went back and discussed with Liu Xu, secretly preparing a dowry for Jiang Yan.
On the day of her wedding,
Jiang Xiaxia finally brought out the dowry.
Jiang Yan was deeply moved upon learning about it.
After the ceremony to Heaven and Earth,
Jun Shen asked Old Bai to entertain the guests, while he followed Jiang Yan and the matchmaker to the bridal chamber to complete the remaining rituals.
After the ceremony,
Jun Shen paid the matchmaker and sat down to admire Jiang Yan.
Today, Jiang Yan was dressed in a vibrant red bridal gown, adorned with simple yet elegant and delicate jewelry, her face painted with radiant makeup, making it impossible for anyone to look away.
“Haven’t you seen enough yet?”
Jiang Yan poked Jun Shen’s face and asked.
Jun Shen grabbed Jiang Yan’s hand: “Not enough, I’ll never get enough, not in this lifetime, nor in the next, or the one after that.”
“Fool.”
Jiang Yan said this, but she moved closer to Jun Shen.
Jun Shen suddenly felt he had wronged Jiang Yan: “Yan’er, I will treat you well from now on. In this life, I will have no one but you. When we return, we’ll have another wedding in the capital, and one in your hometown too. I want everyone to know you are my Jun Shen’s woman.”
“Alright, we’ll talk about the future later.”
…
That night was destined to be sleepless.
In the days following the wedding,
Jiang Yan spent almost all her time in the room.
She was genuinely a bit afraid of Jun Shen.
This afternoon, after dinner, Jiang Yan called Jun Shen to a secluded place outside: “You can’t do that anymore, or I’ll go sleep with my sister!”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Jun Shen kept his word and didn’t bother Jiang Yan for the next few days.
But after a few days, he started again.
Jiang Yan couldn’t help but think, this man with his abstinence is truly not to be trifled with.
Suddenly realizing they hadn’t used contraception these days,
Jiang Yan’s heart skipped a beat. When Jun Shen entered the room, she brought it up.
“Jun Shen, we haven’t been using contraception these days, could I be pregnant? What if I am? I want to have another child for you, but not now, since the big ones are still so young…”
Jun Shen picked up Jiang Yan and sat her at the table, handing her mouthwash, and said: “I’ve thought about this long ago, so I’ve had Old Bai give me medicine to take, don’t worry, you won’t get pregnant.”
Giving birth to those three children was not easy for her.
Jun Shen had no intention of letting her have more children.
But he didn’t tell Jiang Yan at that moment.
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Having not eaten for most of the day, Jiang Yan was hungry and soon finished most of the meal.
After dinner,
Jun Shen helped her dress, handed over the dishes to Qing Yi and others to handle, and then took Jiang Yan for a walk outside to digest.
Jiang Dabao and his siblings started walking at one year and two months.
Jun Shen was thrilled, the only downside being they only called for their mother, not their father.
No matter how he taught them,
they still called for their mother.
Every time Jiang Yan saw him teaching them to say ‘Dad’ and they responded with ‘Mom’, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Considering her two younger sisters were also of age,
Jiang Yan decided to return to the capital with Jun Shen when Jiang Dabao was one year and five months old, as they would eventually have to go back.
Upon returning to the capital, they learned about Ouyang Siyun and the others.
Not only had Ouyang Siyun and Long Tingxue been married for several months, but Long Tingxue was also three months pregnant.
They knew, but
they did not visit them.
The one most excited about Jun Shen’s return was Jun Xian.
Just as Jun Xian was about to pick up his niece and nephew, Jiang Ling stopped him: “Are you very close to them? They don’t want you to hold them.”
“They are my brother’s children, why can’t I hold them?”
Jun Xian reached out and picked them up.
Jiang Ling wanted to take them back, but she was much shorter than Jun Xian,
and couldn’t reach even when she jumped.
Jiang Yan called out: “Alright, third sister, don’t fight with Jun Xian, let him hold them for a bit.”
Jun Xian proudly raised his chin at Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling glared at him angrily and then looked away.
Jun Shen then took Jiang Yan to meet Jun Cheng and others.
Mi Shu was genuinely surprised to see Jiang Yan alive and back, having borne Jun Shen three children.
She was unaware because Long Tingxue and the others had said nothing upon their return.
Feeling very jealous, since she had only one son in her life, Mi Shu sarcastically remarked from the side: “Jun Shen, when were Jiang Yan’s children born? Are you sure they’re yours?”
Jun Xian, who had just arrived, heard this.
Before Jun Shen could respond,
he, as the son, directly retorted: “Mother, are your eyes bad? They clearly look like my brother, how could they not be his?”
Jun Shen wasn’t angry, he simply said: “Step-mother, it seems your eyes are indeed not good. My brother’s eyes are much better.”
Step-mother!
He was actually calling her that like that lowly Jiang Yan!
Mi Shu was so angry her chest heaved.
Jun Cheng noticed and said: “Jun Shen, how can you speak to your mother like that!”
