The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 798 - 769: Pre-Wedding Preparation_2

"Muli, have you prepared the engagement ring for you and Baby? And the engagement dress," Old Madam Situ asked, holding the list in her hand, to Xiao Muli sitting opposite her. Recently, aside from doting on and worrying about Situ Xin, the pregnant lady, the Situ Family, Loo Family, and Xiao Family were all busy with the preparations for the engagement banquet.

Since the Xiao Family currently has no mistress, all the details concerning the engagement banquet arrangements have been entrusted to Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo.

Actually, there is a mistress, Xiao Muli’s mother, Liu Qian. However, Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli reached a consensus that it’s better not to involve Liu Qian in these matters. They do not want the extra trouble of Liu Qian causing chaos in such a busy time, and neither of them has the energy to clean up the mess.

In fact, what Old Master Xiao and Muli feared even more was that Liu Qian might mess things up so bad that Situ Xin, the granddaughter-in-law Old Master Xiao had been eagerly awaiting, might slip through their fingers. Muli feared that his hard-won fiancée might also be driven away by his mother’s antics. So to be safe, both grandfather and grandson thought it best just to inform her to attend the engagement banquet.

Thus, up to this point, Liu Qian still didn’t know that her son was about to get engaged, or even married. Nor did she know that she was about to be upgraded to a grandmother. It was uncertain what kind of expression Liu Qian would have when she finally received the news.

"Grandma Situ, I’ve already prepared the engagement ring for Baby and me. Oh, I’ve even prepared the wedding ring. They were designed by me and then crafted by a famous international jewelry company," Xiao Muli said. After the last incident when Situ Xin was hospitalized with a high fever and unconsciousness, upon their discharge, Muli decided to personally design their engagement and wedding rings. He had prepared the designs but had not yet commissioned them to be made. He had planned to propose to Situ Xin with the engagement ring on the day of her graduation. However, he hadn’t expected that he’d need both the engagement and wedding rings in such a short period.

"Oh? Really? You designed them yourself?" Muli’s words instantly piqued the interest of all the women present, including Situ Xin, who was also curious as she had never heard Muli mention this before.

"Yes, I had designed them beforehand. This time, I just handed them directly to the jewelry company to have them custom-made." What Muli didn’t mention was that he had not only completed the designs for the engagement and wedding rings a long time ago, but he also prepared the required diamonds in advance.

Otherwise, the jewelry company wouldn’t have been able to complete the order within his requested timeframe.

"Oh, I really didn’t expect this. Muli, you’ve been planning a long time to marry my niece, huh?" Lu Juan sat with one leg over the other, eyeing Xiao Muli with a lifted brow. Initially, Lu Juan’s blunt remarks were supposed to embarrass Muli.

But to her surprise, Muli wasn’t embarrassed at all and instead replied generously, "Yes, I’ve been planning to marry Baby a long time ago. I had everything planned, to propose to Baby on the day of her graduation, but I never expected plans to fall behind changes." Muli said, looking fondly at Situ Xin, who was nibbling on an apple.

Situ Xin, who was originally indifferent and focused on her fruit, could no longer sit still under Muli’s intense gaze. She glanced at him with a warning to tone it down a bit. Instead of continuing to eat the apple, she turned to Muli and said, "You’ve just reminded me. We are about to get engaged. But up until now, you haven’t even proposed to me, have you? Let me tell you, just because I’m pregnant with your baby, if you dare to be so careless and not even propose, believe it or not, I might impulsively decide not to marry you."

"Ha ha, Muli, you’ve shot yourself in the foot. Why did you even bring up a proposal? Now look at the situation," Situ Xin’s great-aunt teased Muli gleefully.

Old Madam Loo also chipped in cheerfully. "Alright, everyone has had their say. Baby, don’t get any wild ideas. You should be obediently staying home and taking care of the pregnancy. And Muli, don’t stir up any surprises with a proposal because of what Baby has said. She can’t take that kind of excitement right now. So everyone, let’s calm down and get on with preparing for the engagement banquet. Don’t forget, one month after the engagement party, it’s the wedding banquet. There’ll be plenty for everyone to do." Once Old Madam Loo, the head of the family, had spoken, everyone set aside their ideas.

However, inspired by Situ Xin’s words, Muli began to make his own plans in his heart. Yet, for the time being, he didn’t intend to disclose his thoughts. He planned to carry out his scheme in secret, wanting to give Situ Xin a little surprise. Even if it didn’t end up being a surprise, at least it would ensure that Situ Xin would have no regrets.

"Alright, the ring matter is settled. What about the dress? Should Ah Juan handle it, or what?" Old Madam Situ continued down the list in her hand, asking.

"That still depends on Baby’s preference. If Baby likes the dress that Auntie Lu Juan prepared, we’ll use hers. If not, I have a few well-known designers in mind who could tailor-make something for Baby." Muli said this, but in reality, he had already passed Situ Xin’s photos to the two designers and had them start designing.

"Eh, I want to design the dress myself, especially the wedding dress," Situ Xin whispered while still nibbling on her apple, but her tone was firm.

"But Baby, your health..." Lu Juan gestured downward toward Situ Xin’s belly, reminding her.

"It’s fine, I can do this. I’m just going to draw the design. I won’t be involved in making the dress or wedding gown, it won’t take much of my energy. Plus, the little Baby in my belly is very well-behaved, and he’s healthy too," Situ Xin reassured everyone, knowing their concerns. She boldly waved her hand, declaring confidently.
