Song Menghwa gradually stopped laughing. He looked around at the confounded faces that stared at him before he suddenly realized what had happened. He gasped dramatically and raised his hand to pat himself on his head before mumbling, "I'm getting old. How could I forget such an important thing‽"
Then, Song Menghwa picked up the staff, and with everyone watching, he took deliberate steps toward the stage. He accepted the microphone from the hostess. Looking at the people under the stage, before he could say anything, he started laughing. "I'm so sorry for the surprise small interlude at this anniversary. I hope everyone wasn't too shocked by it."
Small interlude? Did he just describe his children's incestuous relationship with a word that is as insignificant as small interlude… The hall was quiet before people started to look at each other and discuss among themselves.
"Standing here, I have three things to announce." Song Menghwa ignored the burgeoning motion and continued smilingly.
Song Menghwa raised three fingers. "Firstly, I want to apologize for my son's earlier rash behaviour. With regard to the equipment that was broken earlier, our Song Empire's lawyer will contact your pany personally to deal with adequate pensation."
The motion dwindled slightly.
"The second announcement is happy news." As if to prepare for the great news, Song Menghwa's face was filled with unbounded joy. "And that is…"
Song Menghwa's gaze fell lovingly and gently on Song Qingchun's body. "…My daughter is pregnant. Song Empire has its third generation heir. When the opportunity presents itself, I will definitely host a celebration to share in this joy. In fact, I shall now extend the invitation to all of you to e to my grandchild's hundred-day anniversary in eleven months!"
If this was any normal situation, such an announcement would have been followed by thunderous applause, but after Song Menghwa announced it, the hall was as silent as the cemetery.
Brushing off the open display of rudeness, he clapped at his own announcement before moving on. "The third announcement is also a joyous announcement, and that is…"
Song Menghwa couldn't help but laugh before leaning into the microphone to announce happily and excitedly, "The wedding between my son and my daughter!
"The wedding date…"
Since this happened all too suddenly, Song Menghwa stopped after saying those three words, but he only halted for a moment before continuing. "…The wedding date is still undecided, but I can guarantee that it'll happen some time next year."
Qingchun is pregnant, and we have to be careful during the first trimester. However, her figure might change after three months, and the wedding dress might not look pretty on her, so we had better wait until after the child is born to deal with the wedding, Song Menghwa thought to himself before telling the guests under the stage, "…When that happens, I promise I will personally send the wedding invitation to every honoured guest."
Song Menghwa's three announcements were like lightning that struck the hall, causing the place to bee raucous with motion.
"Sir Song Menghwa, the law of this country dictates that biological siblings are not allowed to get married. Do you realize that what you've just announced is illegal?"
