Song Chen finally relented about Song Yiyanâs marriage. They would hold the wedding after Ling Sheng got married.
However, he still wanted them to get the marriage certificate first. They would get it at the date he picked.
The Song family thought that there was a happy occasion in the family, especially since Song Yiyan was pregnant. The old man, who was looking forward to seeing his grandson, would definitely order them to get married quickly.
After hearing that the marriage had been delayed, they were a little disappointed. However, no one dared to question the old manâs decision, it was up to him.
On the day Song Yiyan and Ji Xing registered their marriage.
The Song family held a banquet in the courtyard, saying that they were celebrating in advance. It was a lively occasion, and everyone who came was in the courtyard.
Song Chen happily brought Ji Xing and Song Yiyan to meet everyone. The last time Song Heng was engaged, an accident happened, and he did not have the time to introduce Ji Xing to many friends.
âHeâs good-looking and talented, I heard that he even started a big company. The younger generation will surpass us in time and have a bright future!â
âGeneral Song, youâre really lucky. This grandson-in-law is really handsome.â
âOld Song, come. Today is a big day, you must drink more.â
Song Chen was pulled to drink by his old friend.
Ji Xing walked forward to block the wine and smiled politely. âGrandpa isnât in good health. The doctor said that he canât drink, let me drink for him!â
âOld Song, you really got a good grandson-in-law. You can drink on behalf of your grandfather, but you have to drink two glasses!â
âCome, come, drink.â
It was crowded with friends and family. Song Yiyan followed Song Chen and Ji Xing and helped pour the wine!
After all, she was the main character of the day. Grandpa said that they should treat it as an engagement and not make a big deal out of it, everyone should just gather together and have fun.
âWhatâs wrong?â It wasnât that Ji Xing couldnât drink. He could drink very well. It was just that Song Yiyan didnât like him drinking, so he didnât drink.
However, on such a joyous day, he had to drink what he needed to drink. He could not let his friends and family who came over be disappointed.
âIâm fine with it.â Song Yiyan frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
But he couldnât find out what was wrong.
She suspected that after she had a child in her stomach, her perception in a certain aspect had decreased. Recently, he could clearly feel that her reaction had slowed down.
âItâs normal here. There shouldnât be any accidents.â Ji Xing took another serious look and didnât find anything unusual. âI heard that itâs very sensitive when youâre pregnant. Youâre thinking too much.â
âI hope Iâm thinking too much,â Song Yiyan replied. She was already at another table and pouring wine.
The last time there was such an accident at Third Brotherâs engagement ceremony, she and Ji Xing were right there but did not notice it. She did not know if anything would happen this time.
After hearing what she had to say, Ji Xing became vigilant, keeping an eye on his surroundings and protecting her.
Nothing unusual happened until the banquet ended and the guests dispersed. Everything looked normal.
Ji Xing brought Song Yiyan back to the house to rest. After a long day, a pregnant lady like her was easily tired.
Song Chen and Song Jing sent him off at the door.
Song Chen had decided to invite them to the banquet at the last minute. Song Shu and the others were in the army, so they couldnât come back just like that. They couldnât come back without applying for leave, so they missed the banquet.
Song Yiyan didnât drink white wine, but after drinking a small glass of fruit wine, her head felt a little dizzy. She stepped into the second floor and her head suddenly hurt.
A white light flashed across her blurry mind. With a bang and a flash of fire, the person was swallowed by the flames.
âYanyan, Yanyan.â Ji Xing held her nervously, his face filled with worry. âWhatâs wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?â
âItâs Uncle.â Song Yiyanâs face was pale as she squeezed out the words in pain. She pulled Ji Xing and was about to run down. âCall him, quickly call him. Heâs in danger.â
Song Jing helped Song Chen in and saw her running down in a hurry. Ji Xing picked her up.
Song Chen panicked. âWhatâs wrong? Where are you feeling unwell? Hurry up and call the doctor. Call Dr. Lin over to take a look!â
Song Jing turned around to shout.
Ji Xingâs face darkened. âUncle, thereâs no need for a doctor. Hurry up and call Uncle and ask him not to go on a mission no matter what, it will be dangerous.â
There was an explosion and fire in the forest. According to what Yanyan said, something must have happened during the mission. As long as they didnât go on the mission, their lives wouldnât be in danger.
When Song Chen heard that something would happen to his eldest son, he became even more nervous and worried. âYanyan, what happened to your uncle?â
Song Yiyan could read other peopleâs faces, she glanced at Song Chenâs face. His childrenâs palace was sunken and black miasma had appeared. âGrandpa, I donât know the details.â
Song Jing waited anxiously for a response. âDad, I canât get through to my brother.â
Song Chenâs heart was in his throat. âCall the people in his unit and ask him what heâs doing.â
Song Jing called the army and was so worried that he wanted to cry. âDad, no one in the army knows what mission he went on.â
Song Chen cursed at him for being useless, he took out his phone and dialed a number. In the end, he found out that Song Shu had accepted a top-secret mission and set off.
As for what mission it was, it was a mission directly issued by Rong Yin. No one knew what mission it was or where they were going.
Song Chen called Rong Yin next. âMinister Rong, where did Song Shu go?â
Rong Yin said, âThis is a state secret. General Song, please forgive me for not telling you.â
Song Chenâs eyes turned red with anxiety and he gritted his teeth. âRong Yin, Iâm worried that something will happen to him. Tell me where he is!â
Rong Yin comforted him. âOld General, military orders are like mountains. How can it not be dangerous to carry out a top-secret mission? Before we set off, we followed the military order and wrote a will. We have long ignored our lives.â
Song Chen said, âHe will die! Tell me where my son is!â
As a soldier, he naturally knew that every time he went on a mission, he never thought of returning alive.
However, the unknown danger was different from the known danger. He clearly knew that he would die, but he still couldnât help it.
âGrandpa, give me the phone.â Song Yiyan took the phone. âUncle Rong, itâs Yanyan. I saw something happen to my uncle. Tell us his whereabouts!â
Rong Yin paused for a moment and said in a serious voice, âYanyan, this is a serious matter. Itâs a national matter, not a private matter.â
Song Yiyanâs eyes were solemn. âI know the seriousness of the matter. You said that no matter what difficulties I face in the future, I can find you. I donât want anything, I only want my uncleâs whereabouts. Iâll complete his mission.â
