Chapter 687 - 552: Bring Your Boyfriend Along, Too
Meanwhile, Ning Youguang’s mind wandered aimlessly.
She suddenly felt distracted by this, and for the first time regrettfully thought, "If I hadn’t switched careers to become a psychologist, being a fortune teller might not have been so bad either."
After all, mastering the art of fortune-telling and face-reading was something she had genuinely apprenticed for in a previous life.
But soon, she found herself amused by these absurd ideas that popped into her head.
Indeed, she laughed.
In front of Fang Han, Ning Youguang usually remained silent, and her smiles were always polite, never showing teeth.
Laughing out loud like this was rare.
This made Fang Han think Ning Youguang was laughing because of her earlier words, "Youyou, are you laughing because you think my husband’s family is too superstitious?"
Ning Youguang came back to her senses, about to answer.
Fang Han continued speaking to herself, "Don’t find it funny, you really should believe in feng shui."
"Oh," Ning Youguang replied nonchalantly.
Seeing her like this, Fang Han thought she still didn’t believe her, so she added, "Ordinary people may not understand things like feng shui and metaphysics, but experts can discern them. Why do wealthy families in Hong Kong all believe in feng shui and consult masters for major decisions? There must be some benefit, significant benefit. You might not know, it’s not just Hong Kong; many families in the mainland also believe. They’re just people with status and face, so they don’t say it outright. People in our circle are believers, so feng shui and luck, even if invisible and intangible, can be understood through experience."
Ning Youguang gave a slight smile to Fang Han, "You really know a lot, Cousin, I don’t understand these things."
"I understand why you don’t know." Fang Han laughed at the compliment, "Our teachers are atheists, believers in science, so it’s politically correct. I know, so I’ll tell you what you don’t know."
"Thank you." After politely thanking her, Ning Youguang shifted to a relaxed tone, asking, "How come the big star has time to visit our school today? Aren’t you afraid of being recognized by fans and not being able to leave?"
If Ning Youguang’s compliment earlier made Fang Han smile again,
This seemingly non-compliment turned affirmation made her entire attitude change from initial elegance to significantly more warmth, "How could you say that? I can come to see you even if I’m busy, right?"
"Of course not." Ning Youguang laughed, "I’m just worried that you’re too busy and would disrupt your work. Considering your high worth, even a little lost time would be a big loss."
"I work purely because I love acting and art. As for money, losses, those don’t count." Fang Han paused slightly and said, "You’ve read a lot, don’t know if you’ve heard this saying: Loving something can make you engrossed, and when you’re engrossed, nothing else matters."
She lightly sighed, "So it’s all because I’m usually too busy, always thinking I need to accomplish all the things I love before taking a break, even though often wanting to see you, have a meal or shop together, I can’t find the time."
"It’s okay." Ning Youguang lightly laughed, "I understand you’re busy."
"It’s great that you understand." Fang Han seemed relieved.
Then, she took out a red-and-gold wedding invitation from her custom-made, black diamond-studded Hermes bag, and handed it to Ning Youguang, "This is my wedding invitation. You must come. We’re planning three ceremonies, one in Hong Kong, one at home, and one in Beijing. Hong Kong is far, but you must come to the home and Beijing banquets. Bring your boyfriend too. We’re inviting many people to the wedding, so if you bring him, you’ll meet a lot of people."
Ning Youguang took it casually and politely began to earnestly read the wedding invitation of Fang Han and Li Er.
Ning Youguang had to admit, Fang Han’s wedding invitation design was quite lovely. The invitation had a deep red background with a gold border, featuring a subtle dragon and phoenix pattern beneath, giving the cover of the invitation a wealthy, stable, and majestic feel. Above, there were two cranes circling a red "xi" character, flying high together.
The center featured handwritten calligraphy in gold ink, making the entire invitation opulent and luxurious.
The writing was also beautiful, with strokes like iron and silver, bold and vigorous.
As soon as it was opened, a red "xi" character surrounded by auspicious clouds appeared to Ning Youguang’s eyes.
Even more striking were the two lines of handwritten, traditional-style wedding vow on it —
"To make a thousand wishes before the pillow, waiting for the green hills to crumble. On the water surface the balance floats, waiting till the Yellow River is dry. As long as the sun is present, the Big Dipper faces south. When rest cannot be taken, wait till midnight shines the sun."
"This book serves as proof, pledging mountain alliance and ocean vow, witnessed by Zhu Kunhan couple for a hundred years of harmony, eternal peace."
Next came the names of the groom, the bride, and the witnesses.
Ning Youguang, accustomed to reading books, initially intended to politely view Fang Han’s wedding invitation, but once her eyes landed on the fine writing and beautiful cover, her habit of focusing on good literature took over.
Thus, in Fang Han’s eyes, Ning Youguang appeared genuinely to appreciate her wedding invitation.
Meanwhile, Fang Han took advantage of Ning Youguang’s time staring at the invitation to observe Ning’s unadorned yet still impeccably refined and porcelain-like face, feeling slightly envious about how well Ning maintained her skin.
She thought she needed to stay up less, film fewer night scenes.
Now that her age was advancing, she couldn’t bear it as before, no matter how well she maintains her skin, her basic age was there...
Thinking about this and that, very soon she recollected why she personally came over to deliver the wedding invitation.
So when Ning Youguang closed the invitation book,
She smiled and spoke up, "Our family isn’t big, just me, you, and my brother are about the same age in this generation and able to talk to each other. So it’s vital we maintain our relationships and support each other. My wedding is a lifelong event; you must attend, whether it’s at home or in Beijing. Many people watch us and you should see if you could come with your boyfriend a few days early?"
Ning Youguang blinked, "My lab work here is at a critical point, very busy, extremely busy. Regarding a trip back to Jin City, I may not be able to step away. As for my boyfriend, I’m not sure, would need to ask him, though he’s very busy daily, even busier than I am."
What she said was true, also an excuse she used to pacify Fang Han for now. 1314
