Chapter 705: The Iceberg Beauty Becomes a Husband-Chasing Maniac?

Leng Ruoli watched Jiang Muye's heartwarming actions, gentle smiles filling her eyes.

Jiang Muye was bustling about. Leng Ruoli wanted to help, but he stopped her with a single motion.

"You don't need to help with anything," Jiang Muye said, very much the macho man. "Just do what you're supposed to do and sit there obediently."

The corners of Leng Ruoli's mouth curved upward slightly. "Okay."

Jiang Muye worked quickly and efficiently, and soon produced a bowl of pork and vegetable congee, which he carried over to Leng Ruoli.

One whiff and Leng Ruoli said with great delight, "Smells so good."

"Heh heh, then eat it while it's hot. Want me to blow on it for you?"

"No need. You eat first—look at you, you haven't even eaten properly!" Leng Ruoli glared at Jiang Muye.

A curve traced itself along Jiang Muye's lips. "Okay."

But his attention was entirely fixed on Leng Ruoli.

His gaze made her a bit embarrassed.

"Oh right, we still need to draw up the guest list," Leng Ruoli said seriously to Jiang Muye as something occurred to her.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm even planning to invite my elementary school piano teacher," Jiang Muye said after a moment's thought. "There are also some business partners in my invitations. I don't really want to invite them, but there are some interests involved."

Jiang Muye paused. "But I also don't want my wedding to turn into some commercialized banquet."

"Commercialized or not, it's still the wedding you're giving me. As long as the groom is you and the bride is me, isn't that enough? I don't care about the rest. Besides, my dad's side is going to invite a lot of big shots too." Leng Ruoli didn't care in the slightest.

Seeing Leng Ruoli's easygoing attitude, Jiang Muye smiled. "As expected of my Darling, so understanding."

Leng Ruoli smiled back at Jiang Muye. "I can't exactly throw unreasonable tantrums, can I? This isn't just my wedding, after all. You have to consider everyone."

"Then this time I'm not planning to let the media in. What do you think?" Jiang Muye asked.

The wedding news hadn't been widely reported to begin with, precisely out of fear of the media's excessive marketing and consumption.

"We're all ordinary people, not celebrities. Naturally it's better to keep things low-key. There's no need to do it under the spotlight, and I don't like paparazzi secretly taking photos either." Leng Ruoli and Jiang Muye reached a consensus.

After seeing that there were no problems on Leng Ruoli's end, Jiang Muye naturally relaxed, free of any pressure.

"That's good. I'll have someone make the arrangements. Give me a copy of your list and I'll invite them all." Jiang Muye nodded.

Leng Ruoli's little face flushed slightly. "Actually, I don't have many friends on my side either. I'm worried my family won't even be able to fill a few tables~"

She counted and counted, and it seemed the people she wanted to invite were few and far between.

After all, when she'd come to the country, she'd lost contact with a lot of people abroad.

"No worries. I believe your dad and I can both help you fill the tables. Besides, aren't there meal-fillers these days? We'll definitely fill twenty-some tables for you." Jiang Muye was full of confidence.

"That's way too exaggerated. There's really no need. I don't care how many people there are, but I still hope my grandma can see my wedding." With that thought, Leng Ruoli's eyes reddened slightly.

"Grandma…" Jiang Muye suddenly remembered the grandmother Leng Ruoli had mentioned before.

"She's in m-country now. She's quite advanced in years, so she definitely can't make the tiring journey. When I was little, it was her who stayed with me… Later, when we went to m-country, she was living in the country, so we only saw each other rarely. Two years ago, when she wasn't feeling well, she went to m-country for treatment and recuperation, and I came back to the country." Leng Ruoli's eyes reddened a little.

"If she recovers, or if she's still fairly healthy, maybe she could come to my wedding in person."

As she spoke, Leng Ruoli choked up.

This had become one of Leng Ruoli's regrets.

More than having others attend her wedding, she wanted her own grandmother to be there.

Jiang Muye sighed softly and ruffled Leng Ruoli's head.

He could very much understand what Leng Ruoli was feeling. After all, he'd been raised by his grandparents when he was little too—it was just that they'd passed away early, before they could see how well he'd turned out.

But he'd been left with that regret, and he very much didn't want her to be left with one.

"If anything, she might be able to see your wedding," Jiang Muye said with a faint smile at Leng Ruoli.

"Even if she can just watch a video, that works. We can do a live broadcast when the time comes." Jiang Muye continued to soothe Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli's eyes lit up. "Right, there's live streaming too. Then we'll arrange a live broadcast."

Jiang Muye nodded. "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

Only then did Leng Ruoli's mood gradually brighten.

Then something else occurred to her. "Has the relationship between my dad and mom improved lately?"

"Didn't you know your mom is pursuing your dad right now?" Something occurred to Jiang Muye, and he immediately gave Leng Ruoli a mysterious smile.

Leng Ruoli was astonished. "Really? Then why didn't my mom tell me?"

"She's probably afraid you'll laugh at her. After all, she cares so much about face. I only found out after she came to ask me about Father-in-Law's hobbies."

"So what's the progress?" Leng Ruoli asked eagerly.

"That, only the parties involved would know for sure." Jiang Muye smiled faintly at Leng Ruoli.

Jiang Muye really wasn't lying to Leng Ruoli.

Xiang Shan really was pursuing Father Leng.

Every day, right on time: "Good morning, good night."

Rain or shine, she never stopped.

This scared Father Leng quite a bit.

When had anything like this ever happened before?

Considering that Xiang Shan was someone who couldn't even be bothered to reply to a WeChat message—especially when it came to his messages, every time it was just "Oh, okay, we'll talk later, busy."

But now, it was all warm and caring.

"You have to eat breakfast. You're not a young man anymore. If you keep skipping breakfast and rushing around making money, you'll ruin your health. Should I buy it for you, or will you eat with me?"

"I noticed your WeChat step count is especially low lately. Besides work, you need to exercise actively. I know a good gym. Want to go work out together?"

"I saw your Honor of Kings record and noticed you dropped stars. Want to rank up together?"

"I heard from your secretary that you've been drinking coffee nonstop lately. Caffeine isn't good for you. I learned how to make passion fruit lemonade. How about I bring some over for you?"

…

Normally she wouldn't reply to a single message, but now she could send five or six at once.

Father Leng even suspected that Xiang Shan had someone sending them on her behalf.

When had Xiang Shan gone from an Ice Beauty to such an enthusiastic person?

And yet all of this was real.

The doorbell rang. Father Leng went to answer it, and sure enough, there was Xiang Shan carrying bags full of groceries, beaming at him. "You must be hungry. I signed up for a Cooking Class and learned how to cook. Try my cooking and see how it is."

Father Leng was flattered and surprised. "What's gotten into you lately?"
