I am not just a tycoon

Lih Meng blinked: "What else then?"

"I'll beat the hell out of you."

Shen Yuan forcefully turned her around and gave two slaps on her red buttocks, leaving two palm prints on the peach-like cheeks.

Lih Meng not only didn't dodge but twisted excitedly. Yet she said: "Hmph, hitting me again, you're addicted to it, aren't you?"

"What else then?" Shen Yuan imitated her.

Lih Meng didn't respond, thinking about something, and a trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Shen Yuan, I really envy my sister."

"Envy what?"

Lih Meng gazed blankly: "Envy you getting married, envy my sister having your baby."

Faced with such things, anyone would be envious. Moreover, what her sister has is something she'll never possess.

Shen Yuan touched her flat belly: "Actually, you could too."

Lih Meng laughed: "Then my dad would send three bullets to your forehead: one for my sister, one for me, one for himself."

"He doesn't carry a gun since he retired."

"Hmph, he won't let you off either."

Shen Yuan thought seriously: "Actually, you don't need to envy her. I really like your sister, and I really like you too. Haven't you noticed, the time I've spent with you is no less than with your sister."

"Really?"

"Isn't it? I always give my all to you."

"You, always telling me these things."

Lih Meng raised her fair chin and imitated: "Then don't I always repay you with gratitude?"

One must admit Lih Meng is a linguistically gifted girl. Shen Yuan flipped her onto her back, hugged her tightly, and caressed her slender waist: "Lih Meng, I'm not good at sweet talk, but I want to tell you, I think about you every day. When it rains, I wonder if you're on a plane. When I eat, I think about whether you're eating on time. When I sleep, I think if you're staying up late."

The air became quiet, and Lih Meng was touched. Two lines of tears silently slid down her face, quickly rubbed away: "You say you don't know sweet talk, you're always coaxing other girls like this, right?"

"Of course not, I've only said these words to you."

"Really?" Lih Meng questioned.

"Of course, it's true."

"I believe you this time."

Lih Meng lay in Shen Yuan's arms and murmured: "Then wait until I fall asleep before you go back, okay?"

"Alright."

It's already midnight, returning half an hour early or late doesn't make much difference.

Lih Meng was tired, and with Shen Yuan by her side, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the two families took a helicopter to the island. Laosala Island is indeed one of the top ten honeymoon destinations. The sea is like a liquid galaxy, azure near the shore, transitioning to malachite green in the deep sea.

The white sandy beach is so smooth it seems surreal. Having only seen yellow sand beaches, everyone marveled at this exotic scenery.

The young ones, like Lih Meng and Shen Xuan, opened their phone cameras feeling they didn't need framing or filters, any shot was stunning.

Apart from Shen Yuan and Lih Meng, everyone else was traveling abroad for the first time. Seeing such sights, it was hard not to be amazed at the world's wonders.

Today everyone wore proper attire. Old Shen donned a long-lost suit, while Li Hongjuan wore a custom-made Chinese qipao.

"I heard this set costs tens of thousands; should be worn a few more times." Shen Heping laughed.

Li Hongjuan knew he was hinting that Shen Yuan might have more weddings and glared at him: "Be careful with your words, the in-laws are over there."

Li Hongjuan also found it tricky. During holidays, it wouldn't be possible to only show goodwill to Lih Xiao's parents; Nana's and Minhui's families should be shown goodwill too.

Nana's about to give birth soon, and as a mother-in-law, she must be present, visiting often during the confinement period.

As the grandchildren grow, it'll get trickier. There are known to be two, what if that prodigal son drums up a few more?

Checking on this side and that side feels like an impossible task.

Oh, the nuisance.

Lih Shenghua was also pleased with his suit, which was more expensive than all the clothes he'd bought his entire life. He wouldn't have worn it if not for his daughter's wedding.

"This suit will be worn at most 3-4 times, once for the elder daughter's wedding, once for the younger daughter's, and once when the grandson or granddaughter marries."

Loo Zhen smiled listening: "Who keeps a suit for that long, your son-in-law will buy you new ones."

Destination weddings don't have as many formalities as traditional ones, and the hotel customizes based on the client's wishes. From the white sandy beach to the cliff-side chapel, under everyone's gaze, Lih Xiao came out holding Lih Shenghua's hand in a pristine wedding dress.

The wedding dress was pure and radiant, the mermaid skirt swept gracefully, the waistline cinched, the chest proudly firm, complemented by exquisite makeup and headwear, Teacher Lih appeared ethereal.

Shen Yuan was momentarily dazed; the word "goddess" became tangible at this moment.

"So beautiful."

Shen Xuan marveled: "My brother's hit the jackpot."

Not just her, everyone was captivated, for Lih Xiao seemed like a celestial being descending to earth.

Under sacred music, Lih Shenghua handed Lih Xiao's hand to Shen Yuan, secretly wiping little pearls as he stepped down.

Loo Zhen handed over tissues with a smile: "Quickly wipe it off, how embarrassing if people see."

Lih Shenghua took the tissues, with memories flashing like a movie: his daughter from toddling to blossoming, step by step, as a student, then a teacher, now a wife, making his heart ache.

After getting married, it means the daughter is no longer his little cotton jacket.

Lih Shenghua glanced at Lih Meng, thinking the younger daughter shouldn't rush to marry.

Little did he know, Lih Meng had long been enamored, precisely with the fiery man on stage.

The priest began officiating, from vows to exchanging rings, then kissing the bride, Lih Xiao blushed again amid so many witnesses.

Next, the officiants and parents from both sides delivered speeches. Hearing her parents' heartfelt words, sentimental Lih Xiao shed little pearls again.

Lastly, Shen Yuan spoke, gazing affectionately at Lih Xiao: "Teacher Lih, I'm not good at sweet talk, but today, I want to tell you, I think about you every day. When it rains, I wonder if you've brought an umbrella. When eating, I think about whether you're eating on time. When sleeping, I wonder if you're staying up late. Even at work, I worry if you're busy and tired over there. Teacher Lih, I love you."

In such a ceremony, under the gaze of family, Lih Xiao couldn't hold back her tears again.

She vowed silently in her heart to love this man for a lifetime.

One child isn't enough; she has to give him at least three!

Everyone was touched by these words, thinking who'd have thought Shen Yuan was such an infatuated soul. Shen Xuan marveled: "Old brother's acting is increasingly sophisticated."

Lih Meng found the words familiar, slightly stunned, then remembered Shen Yuan had said the same to her last night.

"Shen Yuan, you bastard!" Lih Meng was so angry her teeth hurt.

Ji Ya and Tan Xin both admired Shen Yuan; clearly, he's promiscuous yet pretends to be deeply affectionate, which might be one of the reasons women are devoted to him.

After the ceremony, the bouquet had to be tossed. With few young people, Shen Xuan and Ji Ya went up pretending to snatch.

Ji Ya caught it, though she never planned to marry, being fine staying close to Shen Yuan.

Ji Ya returned to her seat, Tan Xin borrowed to look: "This flower is quite delicate, maybe it can be kept in the hotel for a few days."

"Yes, you can fill a vase with water and put the flower in."

Saying this, Ji Ya leaned close to her ear and muttered: "Tan Xin, I know you took my stuff last night."

"Uh, what?"

Tan Xin froze for half a second, instantly becoming uneasy.

Ji Ya smiled at her: "Actually...those tools aren't nearly as good as the real thing."
