Transmigration: Save My Chastity

[54] The Marriage Date

After their meeting and successfully established their feelings, Xian Long Wei had gone back to the palace and told the Head Eunuch to get the spiritual master to pick the most auspicious day for his marriage.

This matter was done secretly by the Head Eunuch. His Majesty Xian didn't want people to know until he had officially decided the date for the marriage. Also, even if he did find a spiritual master to pick the auspicious wedding date but he would still discuss it with his future in laws.

Talking about the day they would discuss it, Xian Long Wei had told General Bai before hand. He told the general that he would come to the Bai's household to discuss about the marriage date.

The speechless and enraged general was silently leaving the palace and going home to ask his dear child. After hearing the confirmation from his ger son's own mouth, General Bai almost lost his soul.

"...Xiao Chen, why did y-you...!" General Bai was stunned speechless before he fainted.

Zhan Chen who was panicked, "Father?! Mother, father's fainted!"

That day, the Bai's household was quite a rare scene. The strongest general in the Xian Dynasty who had never faltered in the war, had fainted after hearing his adorable ger son agreeing to marry the Emperor.

Bai Xiu Ying and Zhan Chen sat on the bedside as they fanned the general.

The conscious general finally asked with a weak voice, "does Xiao Chen really like Long Wei?"

Zhan Chen guiltily nodded his head as he said in a soft voice, "I like Wei Dage. And I want to marry him."

Bai Jian Yu gloomily looked away. His dear ger child would leave him for another man. His child would no longer be his only child.

His baby.

"Can't you accept him? It's not like Long Wei is a stranger to us and he's a really good man." Bai Xiu Ying said as he massaged his husband's temples.

Bai Jian Yu pursed his thin lips stubbornly.

"Father, you don't like Wei dage?"

Hearing a soft, dejected voice of his dear child, Bai Jian Yu glanced at the young ger and felt guilty when he saw the sad youth.

Bai Xiu Ying saw that his husband was going to finally relent, added in a grieve tone, "Do you want our Xiao Chen to be sad? Or you want to see him crying his eyes out when Long Wei married someone else?"

Zhan Chen looked sideway at his mother and saw the older ger winking at him. He gritted his teeth and force tears to well up in his round eyes.

"...I understand, Father. I'll tell Wei dage to cancel the engagement. I don't want you to be sad." Zhan Chen said as he bit his trembling lips and got up from the bedside. Inside, he prayed to gods and deities that his stubborn father would agree with this marriage.

However, before Zhan Chen could walk out of the room, Bai Jian Yu gritted his teeth and forced himself to say, "don't cancel the engagement. Father will agree to this marriage."

Tuning back, Zhan Chen replied unbelievable, "really? Father is not going to oppose us?"

"...No, I won't do it." Bai Jian Yu surrendered and lie down on the bed, suddenly, feeling so tired and old. He closed his eyes, "I'm going to rest."

Bai Xiu Ying smiled as he gave a soft kiss on his husband's cheek and left the room after Zhan Chen hugged his father.

The lonely General opened his eyes when the door was closed and stared at the ceiling.

"Xiao Chen is growing up and will leave me soon..."
