The time of the city

Chapter 229 Marriage first, love later

"Sister Xiaoyu, are you really going to marry Brother Jiamu? Aren't you going to wait for Brother Hecheng?"

Mo Yu quickly reached out and covered Yueyue's mouth with her hand. Her movements were quick and urgent, and she lowered her voice and said, "Be quiet. My brother is in the study next door. Be careful not to let him hear."

Yueyue moved closer to Moyu and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, I will support whatever decision you make. I'm just a little curious. Didn't you say a while ago that you wanted to wait for Brother Hecheng? Did Brother Jiamu force you to do that? Do your uncle and aunt agree?"

Mo Yu was slightly startled, then quickly forced out a faint chuckle and said, "Brother didn't force me. I just didn't want the family to be in turmoil because of what happened between him and me."

As she spoke, she gently grasped Yueyue's hand and said, "And I've thought about it for a long time. My brother is very good to me. Being with him is a good choice. We also agreed to slowly cultivate our relationship." Her voice was soft, with a hint of self-persuasion.

"Cultivate feelings?" Yueyue blinked her big, watery eyes, her face full of surprise. "But aren't you getting married next month? Is marriage first, love later?"

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment before she said, "Yueyue, who told you we're getting married next month? How come I didn't know?"

Yueyue's mouth opened wide, the shock on her face almost overflowing, and she said, "Don't tell me you don't know since you're the person involved. Brother Jiamu announced it yesterday. After the announcement, the internet was full of news about your marriage, look." As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to hand her phone to Moyu, and the screen was full of overwhelming wedding news reports.

In the study on the other side, sunlight streamed through the window onto the ground, creating patches of light and shadow. Lin Haoqing looked across at the beaming Ni Jiamu and couldn't help but tease, "Jiamu, it's different now that you're going to be a groom. You've been smiling all day. Congratulations."

Leng Xiyan, who was beside Lin Haoqing, also forced a smile and said in a stiff voice, "Congratulations, Jiamu."

"Thank you." Ni Jiamu gently touched the tattoo on his chest through his clothes, a happy smile on his face. "I can say that I finally got what I wanted. By the way, Haoqing, do you have any photographer recommendations? I'm planning on taking wedding photos."

When Leng Xiyan heard Ni Jiamu's words and saw the undisguised joy on his face, she felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on her chest, making her feel suffocated. She stood up suddenly, her voice trembling slightly, "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom." After saying that, she hurriedly left the study.

After Mo Yu finished looking at her phone, her face turned slightly pale. After a moment of silence, she returned the phone to Yue Yue and said with forced composure, "It's okay. Let's get married next month."

Yueyue saw Moyu's grim expression and hugged her arms and said, "I know you're angry that Jiamu decided everything without telling you, but maybe Jiamu was too busy and forgot, or maybe he was planning some surprise."

As she spoke, she quickly pulled out her phone's photo album and clicked on a photo. "Ever since Brother Jiamu announced your marriage yesterday, all the big screens in City A have been filled with your photos, and the display screens in all the taxis have written his confession of love for you. Although this is a bit old-fashioned, the most important thing is that in all the shopping malls under the Ni Group, as long as the name contains "Mo" or "Yu", and the date of birth is the day you got married, everything is half price." She gestured as she spoke, her eyes shining.

Mo Yu patted Yue Yue's head gently, a tired smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "You seem like his agent. Have fun by yourself. I'll be quiet for a while."

Leng Xiyan left the study, her heart full of jealousy and resentment, and she wandered around the villa like a headless fly. It didn't take long before she was almost going crazy with jealousy.

She had heard that Ni Jiamu had just bought this villa, but when she came in, she found that every corner of the house was filled with his deep love for Mo Yu.

Mo Yu loves painting, so Ni Jiamu specially arranged a spacious and bright studio for her, filling it with various brushes, paints and drawing paper.

The walls of the living room and the corridor are also covered with Mo Yu's photos and her paintings.

The garden downstairs was filled with gardenias. The flowers swayed gently in the breeze, emitting waves of elegant fragrance. In a corner of the study, Mo Yu's favorite comics were piled neatly in a pile.

Inside the room, soft light spilled onto the floor. Mo Yu sat on the edge of the bed, unconsciously twirling the engagement ring on her ring finger. It gleamed coldly in the light. Her eyes were empty, as if she was watching the video playing on Yue Yue's iPad, or perhaps just lost in thought.

Suddenly, Mo Yu's eyes lit up and became clear: "Yueyue, turn up." There was a hint of urgency in her voice.

"No, scroll up." She leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on the screen.

"Yes, that's it." Mo Yu snatched the iPad from Yueyue's hand quickly and hurriedly, pausing the video quickly, then enlarging the screen with her fingers and looking at it carefully.
