Chapter 209 - 209

Chapter 209 Night Delivery of a Letter—"Alright! Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll go back and discuss it with my parents, and try not to choose the farthest date.""Not just try, definitely.""Pfft... Okay, definitely.""Let's go see a movie."The two went to see a movie together, and then sat in the park for a while.Yun Ting went home after dinner.Finally, after discussing it with her parents, Yun Ting decided to choose a date that was auspicious, namely National Day.Duan Xingye was alright, not too disappointed, since it was only two months late anyway.Before the wedding, Yun Ting didn't need to prepare anything, so she busied herself opening the two shops before the start of the school term.She arranged for Li Xiu to work at the braised food shop, and also hired another person.Xiaomei stayed at the clothing store to temporarily take Xiaoying's place. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhou Zhiyongforced her to rest first. He said she could earn money later, since he could afford to support her now.The newly opened clothing store is doing very well. Many people in the neighborhood come to support the store after learning that it is the same as the previous "Tinglan Clothing Store". The main reason is that their clothes are trendy and good-looking. Before, they had to go a long way to buy them. Now that there is a store nearby, it is naturally more convenient.The braised food shop is also very popular, mainly because she adds some spiritual spring water to her spice packet, giving it a very strong flavor that can be smelled for miles around.There are long queues every day, but they don't sell all day long; there's a limited quantity, and if you come late, they're all gone.Yun Ting was obviously using artificial scarcity marketing on purpose.Her second brother invested 2,000 yuan in this braised food shop, and her younger brother invested 1,000 yuan.As for where her younger brother got the money, it was borrowed from their parents, Father Yun.Mother Yun had already left him a thousand dollars.To Yun Ting's surprise, shortly after the start of the semester, she received a letter from Zhao Hongsheng saying that he had been admitted to university, applying to Capital City University of Technology. The letter was full of thanks for the encouragement and warmth she had given him back then, and he also said that he would come to see her when he had time.That silly boy, doesn't he realize that if she hadn't stayed on to teach at the university, she would have graduated and left the school by now. How could she have received his letter?This is something to be happy about. I'm happy for Zhao Hongsheng. He got into university through his perseverance and hard work, justlike Iron Pillar.Fate never fails a hardworking and ambitious person....Life went on at a leisurely pace, and the shop was on track, so she didn't need to worry about it much.Xu Jie also held her wedding during the National Day holiday, so she couldn't attend. However, she was still expected to give a gift. It was all just a formality; people would give her a gift in return, so it was essentially an exchange.As the wedding approached, Yun Ting never expected that she would be targeted by Wan Huanhuan again. Wan Huanhuan had originally hired someone to kidnap Yun Ting, but what she didn't know was that Duan Xingye had someone watching her movements! Ever since she saw that woman when she took Yun Ting out to dinner last time, she knew that she might come after Yun Ting again.Surprisingly, he was right.Wan Huanhuan had no idea that this time, her foolishness would ruin her life.After Duan Xingye learned of her scheme, he was furious. This time, he was going to make her regret it. He didn't do it himself, but instead sent someone to deliver a message to the man who was with Wan Huanhuan last time. This man was Liao Song, the son of her stepfather's friend.A woman like Wan Huanhuan isn't worth him dealing with personally.Duan Xingye noticed this person when he was investigating Wan Huanhuan. He was not as honest and kind as he seemed on the surface. On the contrary, he was very sinister and perverted. Wan Huanhuan was his target.So no matter how much Wan Huanhuan disliked him, he endured it. He knew Wan Huanhuanliked Duan Xingye, but what could he do? Duan Xingye didn't like her back, and she was destined to be his.Liao Song hadn't planned to wait any longer, but as soon as Duan Xingye sent someone to deliver the message, he took action.So, without Yun Ting's knowledge, Duan Xingyeresolved the problem.While Wan Huanhuan was still smugly waiting for good news, she herself fell into Liao Song's clutches....One night, three days before the wedding.Duan Xingye climbed over the wall into the courtyard, intending to talk to Yun Ting, but was caught red-handed by Father Yun."You brat, you can't even wait two or three days? Aren't the newlyweds supposed to not see each other for the first three days of the wedding? You're really breaking the rules, hmph..."Duan Xingye stood there awkwardly. "Dad, I was wrong. I just wanted to say a few words to Xiaoyun and then go back.""You call him that so easily, but he's still your dad! What did you say? I'll pass on your message, and then hurry back."Yun Ting, listening to the conversation outside, chuckled. It felt like a student from a bygone era getting caught climbing over a wall by the dean of students! Haha…Duan Xingye was caught in a dilemma: to speak or not to speak. He had only wanted to find an excuse to see Yun Ting, but his father-in-law took it seriously and offered to pass on a message. What message did he have to pass on?"What? Haven't made up your mind yet? Why don't you save it for the wedding and go back now!"Father Yun thought to himself: "You little brat, you think I can't handle you? Humph...""Let her eat well and rest well...""That's it? Fine, you can go back now!"Duan Xingye had no choice but to keep looking back at Yun Ting's house, but he couldn't actually see anyone there.Duan Xingye walked out of the courtyard gate under his father-in-law's watchful gaze.However, he did not actually leave.After waiting a while longer, he saw that the lights in the yard were off, confirming that his father-in-law had gone back inside. This time, he didn't dare to climb over the wall again. He went straight to the car to get paper and pen andwrote a note for Yun Ting.His handwriting was strong and vigorous: "Xiaoyun, I didn't leave. Are you asleep?" He folded it into a small square, wrapped a smooth pebble inside, and threw it onto Yun Ting'swindowsill—his aim was precise, and it only made a soft sound, not disturbing anyone else.Before long, a note folded into a paper boat was tossed out through the crack in the window, carried by a pebble to his feet. He picked it up and unfolded it; it was Yun Ting's delicate handwriting: "I heard you were kicked out by my dad. I didn't know Regiment Leader Duan could be so silly." At the end was a crooked smiley face.Duan Xingye chuckled softly, as if that smiling face was Yun Ting herself."Who am I doing this for? Instead of comforting me, you laugh at me for being foolish?""Okay! Brother Xingye, I was wrong."When Duan Xingye saw this note, he suddenly had an urge to climb over the wall again and hear her call out " Brother Xingye " in person.He quickly wrote again: "I want to hear you shout in person, and I want to see you, even if it's just for a moment." The stone flew in again, this time with a smaller piece of paper, which he threw out through the crack in the window: "The elders said that it's unlucky to meet three days before the wedding, so there's no rush."Back and forth, the letters were passed lightly in the autumn night. He wrote, "I'll take you to eat fried liver at Qianmen after the wedding," and she replied, "Then you'll have to get up early to queue." He drew an ugly little figure holding flowers, and she added a girl with pigtails next to it.As night deepened, worried about disturbingYun Ting's rest, he restrained himself and gently tossed in the last note—which read, "It's late, get some rest! No need to reply, I'll come again tomorrow night"—with an irrepressible smile playing on his lips.
