Even though he was reluctant, Ling Aotian didn't dare to resist the old man's order at all. He could only shut up. He really couldn't afford to offend this old man with serious paternalism!
Ling Aotian is afraid of his father. This fear has been cultivated since childhood. He even suspected that it was brought from his mother's womb. He cannot change it!
So now he not only dares not resist, but also behaves obediently. He feels that he is really coward to the extreme!
However, there was another reason why he did not resist forcefully, and that was because Lu Xueqin deceived him!
He had so hoped to marry Lu Xueqin, but he never dreamed that Lu Xueqin had been modified. Moreover, thinking about it now, he really didn't know Lu Xueqin at all.
He was inherently introverted and didn't like to inquire about other people's pasts. He believed that if Lu Xueqin was willing to tell him, she would tell him even if he didn't ask. And if she wasn't willing to tell, it would be in vain for him to ask.
So he never asked her about her past, and she never took the initiative to mention it to him!
Now, Ling Aotian, who was deeply disappointed with Lu Xueqin, felt disappointed in both love and marriage.
Because of his disappointment, he had a mentality of giving up on himself. Since his father wanted to arrange his marriage, he should just let them arrange it. Anyway, his relationship was almost in a vacuum now.
Therefore, he did not strongly object to this marriage. He obeyed his parents' arrangements and stayed at home to marry Liu Xiaoya!
That night, the whole family sat together to eat, and the food was quite sumptuous.
At least in Liu Ya'er's memory, it was rare for her to see so many dishes on one table except for other people's weddings.
Sun Hongmei said to Ling Aotian: "Your father will rush back to the army early tomorrow morning, and I will go there with him. Please keep your marriage simple. Consummate your marriage tonight, and leave early tomorrow."
Ling Hongjun and his wife didn't like extravagance and waste, so they didn't notify any relatives or friends about such an important event as their son's wedding. Of course, one of the reasons was that they had to rush back to the army the next day.
Ling Hongjun made an exception and asked Ling Aotian to drink a small glass of wine with him. Ling Aotian didn't dare not listen and drank a glass of wine with his father.
Before going to bed, Sun Hongmei brought Liu Ya'er to Ling Aotian's room and said, "Aotian, from today on, Xiao Ya'er is your wife. You have to treat her well. If you treat her a little bit badly, you
Father will never forgive you!"
Ling Aotian agreed in a sullen voice: "I know!"
Sun Hongmei went out and closed the door.
Ling Aotian fell down on the edge of the bed, held his head in his hands, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Liu Yaer stood in the middle of the room in fear, twisting the fingers of her hands together, feeling very nervous.
From time to time she raised her eyelids and looked at something in the room.
The furnishings in the room are relatively simple and don't look like a new house at all, but to Liu Ya'er, these things are still very valuable.
In her hometown, some people could not afford to buy such a house of furniture in their lifetime. For her, who had always been impoverished, she could not even think about it.
But now, she is the owner of this room.
From now on, she and her father will never live the same hard life as before.
This is what Aunt Sun Hongmei said - now she has to change her name to mom.
The room was so quiet that Liu Ya'er could hear her own nervous breathing and Ling Aotian's heavy breathing.
