Chapter 265 Organizing the Wedding Banquet
"What the fuck... when?"

"It was more than a month ago, the certificate was obtained more than a month ago!"

"Ah...???" Zheng Xiaoran shook off Du Ruo's hand, and glanced at Qiao Anming who was sitting on the seat with a half-smile, "I don't take you guys, what speed and efficiency? Getting the certificate is even faster than me and Xiaobai." morning!!!"

"At that time, I was impulsive and didn't think much about it. I decided to register the next day without notifying anyone!" Du Ruo tried to explain, but Zheng Xiaoran refused: "Anyway, I don't care, I knew you were Mrs. Qiao , I had to beat you up before, and give me a big gift again later, how about jewelry? Mr. Qiao, when I went to buy wedding gold jewelry some time ago, I fell in love with a sapphire bracelet!"

Qiao Anming finally laughed, and walked slowly to Zheng Xiaoran's side: "No problem, give me the brand and model number, it's a wedding gift from my wife and I to you and Mr. Bai..."

Seeing that he spoke so seriously, Zheng Xiaoran was a little embarrassed.

"No, I'm just joking with Du Ruo."

"I'm not kidding, Du Ruo has been bothering you to take care of me these few years, so I should give you a piece of jewelry." Qiao Anming was very serious. He felt that Zheng Xiaoran had really helped Du Ruo a lot, and he always kept his word.

Seeing that he was serious, Zheng Xiaoran slammed Du Ruo on the shoulder: "Hmph... Mrs. Qiao, it's really valuable!"

Du Ruo smiled, and gave Zheng Xiaoran a nudge: "What nonsense, this is what An Ming and I want."

Two days later, Du Ruo delivered a jewelry box to Zheng Xiaoran as expected.

"Open it and have a look. The style you picked before was sold out, so I decided to choose another one for you. If you don't like it, you can change it with the invoice."

Zheng Xiaoran was excited and pleasantly surprised, opened the box, and there was indeed a sapphire bracelet lying on the black velvet pillow support, the style was better than the one she had chosen before, but she also remembered that this one was much more expensive.

"Du Ruo, this... is too expensive, I can't take it."

"Take it, you have been taking care of me all these years, and you have brought it for me, and you are always on call, Xiao Ran, if I don't have you these years, I can't imagine how I will get through it alone." Du Ruo gave her the jewelry box.

This is indeed the case, she has to go to work and take care of her children alone, if Zheng Xiaoran is not at her "command" at any time, Du Ruo's life will be even more difficult.

"Okay, let's not think about the past. You are Mrs. Qiao now, and you will be rewarded after suffering."

"I don't care about the title of Mrs. Qiao, but I do want to be with Qiao Anming for the rest of my life..."

Accompany him to watch the sunrise and sunset, and spend the ordinary years with him.

Zheng Xiaoran held Du Ruo's hand: "Since you are married, I don't need to say more, but I need to remind you that you are 20 years behind."

"So what if he's 20 years old. What I love is him, not what's attached to him, whether it's age or wealth. To me, he's just a husband who is serious most of the time, and occasionally rogue."

Even if she can't grow old together in the end, she is still willing to stay with him for the rest of her life.

What else is important, what is more important than being happy for the rest of your life?
Qiao Anming's birthday will be three days later.

Qiao Anming didn't even remember, he went to the company as usual in the morning, worked, and called Du Ruo in his spare time at noon.

"Well, I went to school today, what are you doing at home alone?"

"Hmm... I'm free, I'm watching TV at home..."

"Then go out for a walk in the afternoon, and I'll ask Xiao Zhang to pick you up."

"No, no... I'm tired from too many things these days, I want to take a nap..."

Qiao Anming didn't say much, chatted a little more, and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped his forehead with his rolled up sleeves, some flour got on it.

Chen Ma next to her took out a tissue to help her wipe, and asked with a smile on her face, "Did Mr. Qiao call back?"

"Yeah, almost broke through."

"Then he said he would not come back for dinner at night?"

"I didn't say, but I guess he's coming back to eat." Du Ruo replied while stirring the flour in the plate with his hands, "Mother Chen, is the dough too soft?"

"good…"

"Then add butter?"

"Wait, you have to pour the egg whites in first..."

When Qiao Anming was about to get off work, he suddenly received a call. A very important client was passing through Chongzhou, so he invited him to have dinner together.

Unable to refuse, he had to go and call Du Ruo on the way.

Du Ruo was disappointed: "You won't come back for dinner tonight."

"Sorry, there is only a temporary entertainment."

"Oh..." She couldn't say anything more, she struggled for a few seconds and finally decided not to tell him the truth, just asked: "Then when will you come back at night?"

"It's probably going to be very late, don't wait for me, go to bed early..."

As a result, Qiao Anming was pestered by clients until very late that night.

First he had dinner, and then he went to KTV to sing. Qiao Anming usually avoids that kind of smoky place if he can, but the customer passed through Chongzhou, and Qiao Anming was the host, so he could only bite the bullet and meet the customer's request.

During dinner, he was downed with two glasses of red wine, and drank a few more glasses of whiskey at the KTV, and he was a little tipsy when he came out of the KTV.

Xiao Zhang was waiting in the open-air parking lot at the door. When he saw Qiao Anming coming out, he hurried up to meet him and said, "Mr. Qiao, you finally came out. My wife called me several times to ask when you will go back."

"Call you?" He was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that she probably didn't call him directly because she was afraid of affecting his entertainment, "Silly girl!"

Qiao Anming held the door of the car, unconsciously these three words came out of his mouth.

Xiao Zhang didn't hear clearly, so he just asked, "Do you want to call your wife back?"

He looked at his watch, it was already one o'clock in the morning: "Forget it, I guess she is asleep, so we won't wake her up, let's go, let's go back!"

After Qiao Anming got home, he was afraid of waking up Du Ruo, so he lowered his steps as much as possible.

I wanted to go directly to the bathroom in the bedroom on the second floor to take a shower and rest, but when I turned into the stairs, I vaguely saw that there was still a light on the dining room side.

He thought it was Chen Ma or some servant, so he walked over with his computer bag, the door was ajar, and he pushed it slightly, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

The restaurant is very big, the lights are not turned on, the ceiling is covered with colorful balloons and ribbons, and there is a row of crystal candlesticks on the floor-to-ceiling windows. The candles are flickering, but because the lighting time is too long, the fist-sized candles are almost gone. burn out.

The whole restaurant is very dark, only the residual candle on the candlestick can see something clearly.

Du Ruo seemed to have fallen asleep, lying at one end of the long table, with his back to the door.

Qiao Anming walked over on tiptoe, only to find that there was a small cake in front of her. A small piece of the cake was cut off, but the rest was well preserved. There were two rows of crooked words on it: "Old Joe, happy birthday .”

Only then did Qiao Anming remember that today is his birthday, his 48th birthday.

Du Ruo wanted to celebrate his birthday, so he spent a whole day arranging it, but in the end Qiao Anming didn't come back.

When he was moved, he felt guilty, and there was also a faint joy that could not be expressed in words. He was not even willing to wake up Du Ruo, who was sleeping peacefully in the candlelight, so he dragged a chair and sat next to her, without saying a word. Looking at Du Ruo's sleeping face like that.

The candlelight reflected her face clearly, not to mention that she deliberately put on makeup that day...

Looking at it, Qiao Anming became a little distracted.

"Du Ruo..." He gently pushed her shoulder.

Du Ruo opened his eyes in a daze, and before he realized what was going on, Qiao Anming's kiss had already pressed down on him.

There was alcohol in his mouth, and it goes without saying that he was drinking again, and a lot.

"Hmm..." Du Ruo struggled and pushed him away: "When did you come back? Why did you just come back like this and didn't wake me up!"

"Reluctance..." He took advantage of the seven-point liquor to act wildly, and directly pressed Du Ruo on the chair... using both hands and feet, not allowing her to move.

It's a pity that Du Ruo wore a thin woolen skirt with a zipper on the back that day, and Qiao Anming peeled it off in a few strokes.

"Hey...Qiao Anming, why are you like this! Be careful that Chen's mother comes downstairs and sees" She was still trying to restrain herself, but after drinking, Qiao Anming was catalyzed by the scene in front of her, so her desire became more and more intense, so she just picked up Du Ruo and went to the second place The master sleeps...

Apologizing to Du Ruo while kissing, she immediately took off her stockings and put her hands inside...

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you celebrated my birthday, I forgot myself..." He would really pick the right moment to apologize.

Du Ruo was flabbergasted by him, his voice was unsteady, so he couldn't care less about getting angry.

It's just a pity that this man is more and more able to do things, and he drank again, from the bed to the sink, from the sink to the window sill of the bedroom... Du Ruo was exhausted in the end, and he didn't even take a bath, so he was directly hugged into the quilt by him.

Each gradually regained their breath.

Qiao Anming hugged her still warm body, and was more than half sober from the wine.

"Du Ruo, thank you for celebrating my birthday for me. I don't even remember when was the last time I celebrated my birthday."

"It's so miserable? The boss of the dignified Sheng'an has no one to celebrate your birthday for you."

"Well, I'm too busy, I can't think of it every year, or my birthday will be over by the time I think of it, and I don't bother to make arrangements."

"What about Gu Lan? Didn't Gu Lan do it for you before?"

Qiao Anming paused, and kissed Du Ruo's head from behind: "No, she rarely takes care of these things."

"Impossible, you have been married for so many years, and she hasn't celebrated your birthday once?"

"I don't think so, and she has always been in poor health, and I don't want her to worry about it."

Although he spoke very plainly, Du Ruo could still hear the disappointment in his words.

How did he maintain his 23-year marriage with Gu Lan in the past?

"Actually, I didn't do anything. I just cooked a few dishes and made a cake according to the method on the Internet. It's a pity that you didn't eat it."

Du Ruo turned around and slipped into his arms, Qiao Anming hugged her: "It's okay, I will definitely eat the cake tomorrow. Also, if you want to find me in the future, don't worry about it, just call my cell phone, Xiao Zhang may not will always be with me..."

Du Ruo smiled, and sucked mischievously on his neck: "Okay..."

Qiao Anming woke up very early the next day.

Du Ruo was fully dressed and went downstairs, while Qiao Anming was sitting in the dining room eating cake leisurely.

Of course it was the cake that Du Ruo made last night, but because the cream softened overnight, the shape of the cake collapsed.

"You really eat it, don't eat it, yesterday's overnight cake, be careful not to spoil your stomach." Du Ruo wanted to grab the plate in his hand.

Qiao Anming refused: "I have to taste at least a few bites of the birthday cake you made yourself."

"Just taste it, throw it away."

"No, the taste is quite good, although the appearance is a bit ugly."

"You!!!" Du Ruo couldn't bear it anymore, "This man has never been able to tell the difference between hurting others and praising others, "Don't eat if it looks ugly, it's useless for me to cook in the kitchen all afternoon yesterday, and then I ate a piece at night. You still say that the appearance is not good? "

"Look, you're still angry, right? I'm just joking..." Qiao Anming quickly coaxed her, and Du Ruo laughed, "Forget it, for the sake of your willingness to eat the overnight cake, I still have a gift for you .”

"what?"

"I'll find out later." Du Ruo mysteriously took out a long box from the compartment under the table and handed it to Qiao Anming.

"Open it and see if you like the color."

Qiao Anming complied, and soon saw the dark green scarf in the box.

"You gave me a birthday present?"

"Yeah, I bought it when I went to the mall with Chen Ma on Christmas Eve, but it's not as good as the brand you usually wear."

Qiao Anming smiled, took out the scarf, and wrapped it around his neck: "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, I like whatever you give me."

"Then do you know the meaning of a wife giving her husband a scarf?"

"What does it mean?"

"Tie you forever!"

"Haha... that's even better." Qiao Anming tied the scarf around his neck in a knot, "Today I will wear this scarf to the company."

The proud Qiao Anming showed off.

After Qiao Anming went to work, Du Ruo went to the storage room to find the pillow.

She has kept the pillow for many years, and has moved several times, but she has never been willing to throw it away, but the fabric has wrinkled and hardened over time.

She removed the outer envelope and soaked it with gold spinning.

Chen's mother saw Du Ruo standing next to the faucet washing things in the backyard, so she hurried over to grab it.

"Ouch... Ma'am, you can leave these things alone and let me do them."

Du Ruo was unwilling: "It's okay, little one, I'll wash it myself."

"That's okay, let me do it." Chen Ma still insisted, looking down at the things in the sink, she was a little strange: "Madam, this is a pillowcase, it's a bit old, why wash it by hand, throw it in the washing machine for me another day Just wash it."

"No, I want to wash it by myself and dry it in the sun. Although it is a bit old, it was given to me by a friend of mine." Du Ruo said while washing, paused for a few seconds, and added: "He I am very important..."

Du Ruo washed the pillowcase, took it to the balcony to dry, and just received a call from Qiao Anming.

"About changing the surname, Yu Chu has basically done it, but we still need to go to the police station to sign at the scene, so I will come back for dinner at noon, and I will pick you up to go with me."

"Okay, then I'll ask the kitchen to cook some dishes." Du Ruo hung up the phone and made an internal call to the kitchen.

Around 11:[-], Qiao Anming's car arrived at the door.

The two ate some in a hurry, because Qiao Anming had to rush back to the company for a meeting at three o'clock.

Fortunately, the formalities are complete, so I just go to the acceptance window to sign.

In just half an hour, there was one more account in Qiao's household registration.

"Du Ming...Du Ming..." He held the old household registration book and muttered something, and asked Du Ruo with a cold face: "When you were given the registered residence, why were you so cruel and really registered Du Ming?"

Du Ruo also had a cold face: "Otherwise, what should I register? Is the registration unclear?"

"..."

She's so small, she doesn't believe she can't beat him! ! !

On the way to send Du Ruo back, Qiao Anming was in a good mood and played music in the car.

When he was about to get home, he suddenly said, "Okay, the household registration has been settled, when do you plan to return to Xuancheng? Air tickets may be tight during the Spring Festival travel season, so I have to make arrangements in advance."

Du Ruo thought for a while: "I'll follow you anytime, mainly because you, you are so busy at the end of the year..."

To be honest, Qiao An is really busy at the end of next year. This year, Medicine Valley has just started mass production. In the first Spring Festival, he has to do everything from advertising to market feedback.

"Well, in the afternoon, I will ask the secretary to arrange the upcoming itinerary, and see when I can accompany you back to Xuancheng."

The itinerary is basically full every year and every year, branch meetings, annual summary, New Year's Eve dinner, and plans for the beginning of the year...Anyway, there are a lot of them, and there is basically no free time for the entire January-February.

Qiao Anming could only turn down some unimportant entertainment. He entrusted Jiang Lei to host the annual meetings of several remote branch companies, so that he could barely spare a week in February of the Spring Festival.

But the cost of freeing up a week is that he has to work overtime throughout January.

"I'm sorry, I may be busy recently, so I can't come back to accompany you." Qiao Anming put his arms around Du Ruo and murmured in her ear.

Du Ruo shook his head: "It's okay, work comes first, but don't wear yourself out. If you're really busy, I can bring it back to Xuancheng for the New Year."

"Not allowed!" His tone became bad all of a sudden, "You brought it back to Xuancheng, what's the point of me being in Chongzhou alone? Well, it's decided like this, I will balance work and family, but recently I may Come back late every day…”

As soon as he spoke, he became restless again, and with a light tug, he tore off the belt of Du Ruo's pajamas...

Du Ruo grinned, pretending not to understand his hint: "I see, I won't wait for you in the future, I will obediently go to bed alone every night..." After speaking, he turned over and slipped out of his arms.

How could Qiao Anming let go, and with a big palm, she returned to his chest.

"What about tonight...?"

"Tonight...sleep...well...sleep, I'm so sleepy..."

"No, it's still early..."

"Then watch TV for a while, I'll go to bed first..." Du Ruo turned over and tried to escape, but Qiao Anming smiled, wrapping her long legs around her waist...

Why is this man so energetic?
"Old Joe, go to sleep...I'm really sleepy..."

"Mother Chen said that after you came back in the afternoon, you would take a nap until dinner. After sleeping for a long time, you were still sleepy...?" The lips moved slowly against her chin to her neck, her collarbone...then her chest...

Where is Du Ruo his opponent, he soon sank...

The room is sweet and greasy, the moonlight spills from the window onto the bed curtain, gently swaying, reflecting a pair of overlapping bodies on the bed.

After a long time, he let go of her, gasped heavily, and hugged Du Ruo, who was also dripping with sweat, into his arms.

Happiness came too fast and too violently, and many times he felt unreal.

"Du Ruo, let's hold a wedding banquet after the new year."

"Didn't you say to wait until April?"

"I don't want to wait any longer. I'm afraid that outsiders will gossip about you. What's more, I'm also very busy during this time. It just so happens that you can arrange the wedding banquet. Tomorrow I will ask Yu Chu to help you find some better wedding planning companies. You You can get ready..."

"But, is it in time? It's too late..."

"It's too late, the details are planning and company arrangements, you just need to make decisions and nod."

He didn't know why he was in such a hurry to hold a banquet, he always felt that sometimes he was not at ease when he hugged this woman in his arms.

He wanted to own her completely and turn her into Mrs. Qiao, but also wanted the whole world to know that Du Ruo was Qiao Anming's woman!

To a certain extent, love may really give rise to many possessive desires.

Peng Yuchu contacted Du Ruo at noon the next day, saying that he had found three planning companies and planned to pick up Du Ruo for an interview in the afternoon.

After the interview, everything went well.

The size and reputation of the three planning companies are the best in Chongzhou. The only shortcoming is that the proposed plans are too high-profile.

"Assistant Peng, I think the wedding banquet between me and Lao Qiao should be simple. He has always kept a low profile and doesn't like such extravagance..."

"Mr. Qiao usually keeps a low profile, but when it comes to the wedding banquet, he specifically told me to be as high profile as possible."

He wished that the whole world would know that Du Ruo would be the justifiable Mrs. Qiao in the future.

Since Qiao Anming insisted so much, Du Ruo didn't refute any more.

In the first interview, I got a basic understanding of the prices and general plans of various planning companies.

After comparison, Du Ruo chose one of them with a warm and sweet style.

Three days later, the official plan was submitted and several wedding banquet locations were selected.

Du Ruo is not a fussy person, so he is satisfied with all aspects of the plan, only a few details have been changed slightly, and the wedding banquet location is finally set at a five-star hotel in Chongzhou, which is divided into two parts: the wedding banquet at noon and the reception in the evening.

After the plan is finalized, it will be other links.

Drinks, pre-dinner and post-dinner desserts, on-site flower decoration, the media... a whole bunch of things, Du Ruo looked at the list made by the planning company, and his head grew dizzy.

If she had known that there were so many things going on, she should really not have this wedding banquet.

So sadly, during that time Qiao Anming was busy, and she seemed to be even busier than her. She kept going to plan companies, hotels... After a busy day, she would just sleep in bed when she came back at night, and sometimes she didn't know when Qiao Anming would come back.

After being so busy for half a month, at the beginning of February, Qiao Anming came out one day to take wedding photos with Du Ruo.

The previously custom-made wedding dress was size S, and it fit Du Ruo quite well when she tried it on, but suddenly felt a little tight around her waist when taking wedding photos.

"Have I gained weight?" Du Ruo asked Qiao Anming standing in front of the mirror.

Qiao Anming smiled: "Have you eaten too much? Recently, I heard from Mama Chen that you have a good appetite and can eat and sleep."

The clerk in the bridal shop flattered: "No, Mrs. Qiao, your waist is already thin enough. You were a little thin when you tried on the wedding dress before, but now it's just right."

Yes, the waist is not too thick, but it is indeed fat...
