The neighbors were beaming as they received the wedding candies. They all crowded to Zhuo Qianyun's store and congratulated her.
"Qianyun, you found a good husband. He's rich!"
"Congratulations! I heard your husband say that you two separated for years because of an accident, and he kept saying that he did you and Lil Yan wrong by letting you raise Lil Yan by yourself. After all that hard work, you're going to have a good life now."
"This groom is so handsome. No wonder Lil Yan is so good-looking. He took after his father!"
Zhuo Qianyun could only smile dryly as the neighbors congratulated her. Mrs. Zhuo smiled less reluctantly. After all, the neighbors would gossip less after Ye Wenming did this.
Once the firecrackers finished sounding and they were done distributing the wedding candies, it was just about time for school to be over. As soon as Zhuo Yan left the school, he saw his father standing at the store’s entrance while their neighbors congratulated his parents.
A classmate approached Zhuo Yan and asked curiously, "Is your family celebrating a happy event?”
Zhuo Yan blinked his eyes. After he heard the words ‘may you live a long and happy life together and have many children and grandchildren’ sandwiched between the words of congratulation, he recalled what his mother had told him about getting married.
'Has Daddy and Mommy... gotten married?'
By this time, a student was rushing back after going to the store to find out what had happened.
As soon as they saw Zhuo Yan, they immediately said excitedly, "Zhuo Yan, is that your father? Wow, he's so handsome! Besides, all those cars belong to your father and they said all those men in black suits are your father's. He's so amazing. He looks just like the big shots in TV shows."
The other classmates immediately looked at Zhuo Yan with envy, and many female students' eyes lit up.
Zhuo Qianyun and Zhuo Yan looked at Ye Wenming with the same look of shock as if they were looking at something bizarre.
"What's the matter? What's wrong with me calling her ‘Mom’?" Ye Wenming looked at the three startled faces and slowly said, "Others will find it strange if I don't call her ‘Mom’ but ‘Aunt’."
Zhuo Qianyun had no idea what to answer for a moment. Just like what he had said, it was perfectly normal for him to call her mother ‘Mom’ now that they were married.
Even if their marriage was just a show, they should at least act their part.
Mrs. Zhuo choked for a moment before saying, "Then... Then you can call me that for now, and..." She changed the topic. "Since you and Qianyun have received your marriage license, let's have dinner together. There's something I want to say too."
