A reborn woman abducts her husband: after emptying his pockets, she marries a military officer.

Chapter 51 Wedding Rings

"Oh?" A sly glint flashed in Qin Yingxue's eyes. "You're so sure she'll do something? You know her so well, could it be that you two..."

Before Qin Yingxue could finish speaking, Song Yanchuan ruffled her hair with his large hand: "Don't associate me with her. I get annoyed just looking at her. She's so pretentious and can't even speak properly. Only a fool like Qin Dahai would be fooled by her!"

Seeing Song Yanchuan's face full of disgust and his tone utterly unforgiving, the gloom that had been weighing on Qin Yingxue's heart for the past few days strangely vanished.

Before even reaching the Song family's residence, they saw Zhu Huiwen standing at the door, looking on with anticipation.

"Mom..." Song Yanchuan led Qin Yingxue away in a long stride.

Qin Yingxue followed him gracefully, greeting him with a smile, "Auntie."

"Come in quickly! I've made breakfast, let's eat together." Zhu Huiwen warmly took Qin Yingxue's hand and walked into the courtyard.

Song Yanchuan had no choice but to let go of Qin Yingxue. Looking at the figures of the two women he loved most in his life, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he strode towards them.

Zhu Huiwen served porridge, then presented the steamed buns she had made herself, along with boiled eggs.

Qin Yingxue had only eaten one steamed bun before. Smelling the aroma of the steamed bun, she ate one with her porridge. Meanwhile, Song Yanchuan had already cracked open two eggshells and given one to Zhu Huiwen and one to Qin Yingxue.

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Qin Yingxue ate, and then felt quite full.

After finishing their meal, Zhu Huiwen declined Qin Yingxue's offer of help, leaving the young couple alone.

Qin Yingxue was taking a walk in the courtyard to digest her food, watching Song Yanchuan pack his luggage.

I didn't have much luggage; I only brought two sets of clothes to change into.

Song Yanchuan took a box out of his pocket and walked towards Qin Yingxue.

Qin Yingxue looked at him curiously, and her face turned red instantly when she saw him open the box and take out two plain gold rings.

"I'll have Mom choose a date soon so we can get married. I'll buy whatever you need, and you can make any requests you have." Song Yanchuan said earnestly, "Yingxue, marrying me won't allow you to see me every day like other women, or have me by your side. But I swear, I will treat you well for the rest of my life and do everything I can to give you happiness."

There are no flowery words, no lengthy preamble, only simple language, but that is what touches people's hearts the most.

Qin Yingxue's eyes involuntarily met those deep, dark eyes, as if there were a whirlpool inside that was about to suck her in.

Qin Yingxue immediately smiled radiantly, following her heart: "I believe in you, and I am willing to spend my life with you."

Song Yanchuan was immediately excited, and his hand holding the ring trembled slightly.

"Son, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and put the ring on Yingxue's finger!" Zhu Huiwen appeared out of nowhere and assisted from the side.

With trembling hands, Song Yanchuan took a deep breath and struggled to slip the ring onto Qin Yingxue's slender, fair finger.

Upon touching her smooth and radiant skin, Song Yanchuan's breath hitched, and his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

Fortunately, Zhu Huiwen spoke up again, which helped Song Yanchuan regain some of his senses.

"I checked the almanac, and the day after tomorrow is the best day. Time is short, so let's deliver it to your in-laws tonight, and you can take Yingxue to get the marriage certificate tomorrow, and also buy some other wedding supplies..."

Before Zhu Huiwen could finish speaking, Song Yanchuan interrupted her: "No need to wait until tomorrow, we'll go get our marriage certificate this afternoon."

No one knows a son better than his mother. Hearing Song Yanchuan's words, Zhu Huiwen understood her son's thoughts perfectly well; he couldn't wait a moment longer.

This was the first time Zhu Huiwen had seen his son so eager. His face crinkled with laughter. “Alright, you two can discuss it slowly. I’ll go and inform your second uncle and the others so they can come with us to the in-laws’ house tonight to deliver the auspicious date.”

Zhu Huiwen walked away quickly, leaving only the young couple in the courtyard.

Qin Yingxue stared at the small ring on her finger, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Song Yanchuan may seem aloof, but he actually has a romantic streak deep down.

Moreover, the way he had been so eager just now made Qin Yingxue feel a little warm inside.

"Did I scare you?" Song Yanchuan cleared his throat, his tone slightly uneasy.

"No." Qin Yingxue shook her head and looked up at him.

"There are a lot of complicated things involved in getting married. I just want to get the marriage certificate first," Song Yanchuan explained, then felt like he was just stating the obvious, and his face flushed slightly.

"I understand. You've been traveling all night, why don't you go and rest for a bit, and we can continue after lunch..." Qin Yingxue asked with concern.

"No need, I'm not tired." Song Yanchuan looked at Qin Yingxue with clear eyes. "I want to look at you more."

Qin Yingxue blushed: "What's so interesting about me..."

It was a rare sight for Song Yanchuan to see Qin Yingxue so shy. He reached out and held the soft hand he had been longing for, and said sincerely, "Beautiful, I'll look at you for a lifetime..."

Before Song Yanchuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud voice from outside: "Brother Chuan, I brought you what you wanted."

Chen Jialiang pedaled his bicycle into the yard, his legs churning.

Song Yanchuan had no choice but to let go of Qin Yingxue and step forward to help carry a large cloth bag off the back shelf.

"What is it?" Qin Yingxue walked over curiously.

"The quilt and your wedding dress, sister-in-law, were all prepared by Brother Chuan who told me to prepare them a long time ago," Chen Jialiang blurted out.

Song Yanchuan glared at Chen Jialiang with annoyance, while Chen Jialiang chuckled a few times.

Qin Yingxue looked at Song Yanchuan in surprise, not expecting him to have made preparations so early.

Song Yanchuan felt uncomfortable under Qin Yingxue's gaze: "Take a look and see if you like it? If you don't, we'll buy another one."

Qin Yingxue nodded, took out the colorful wedding dress in a gift box from the cloth bag, and then fell silent.

Song Yanchuan instantly understood Qin Yingxue's meaning, glared at Chen Jialiang to the side, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Didn't I tell you to buy the most beautiful wedding dress?"

"Brother Chuan, this is the most popular bridal gown in Shanghai this year. It's bright red and embroidered with peonies, which has a good meaning. It's a national beauty. And the fabric and style are both from famous designers..." Chen Jialiang explained with some grievance.

"The bridal gown is beautiful, it's my fault." Qin Yingxue said, then smiled when she saw the two people looking at her expectantly. "I've never worn a bright red dress before, so I'm a little uncomfortable."

“If you’re not comfortable wearing it, then don’t. I’ll go with you this afternoon to pick out something you like. It’s just that there aren’t any nice ones in the county town…” Song Yanchuan frowned slightly.

"I saw you brought back a new military uniform, didn't you? Why don't we get married in our military uniforms?" Qin Yingxue suggested, a sudden idea flashing in her mind.

"Brother Chuan, your wife's idea is great!" Chen Jialiang said with a face full of agreement.
