Chapter 616 - Fangirl (1/2)
Seeing that the kitten was baring her claws, Zhu Junyang quickly coaxed her, “Isn’t this prince just worried that you will be traumatized by weddings? Who would you marry other than this prince? If you dare to marry someone else, then I will rush over to steal the bride and demolish the family while I’m at it.”
“Bandit!” Yu Xiaocao withdrew her sore hands and scolded lightly.
Zhu Junyang grinned at her and said, “Yes, this prince is a bandit. A bandit who only steals your heart…”
‘d.a.m.n!! There’s something wrong with the cold-faced royal prince today ah!’ Yu Xiaocao had gooseb.u.mps all over her body when she heard his cheesy remark. Would it be too impolite if she puked right now? ‘Hey, the guy surnamed Zhu, can you act like a normal person? You’re ruining my appet.i.te!’
Zhu Junyang, who probably saw the unpleasant expression on Xiaocao’s face, stopped while he was ahead. He quickly reached out to grab some of Xiaocao’s favorite dishes and put them into her small bowl. Yu Xiaocao felt like she had lost her appet.i.te, and it was all thanks to this guy!!
That night, after Third Young Master Zhou lifted the bride’s veil and drank cross-cup wines, he took out the dragon and phoenix pendants that Yu Xiaocao gave them. Then, he handed one of them to the bride. Huang Shuya looked bashfully at the handsome and gentle man in front of her. He didn’t have the air of a sordid merchant, but instead appeared like a refined groom. Her heart slightly palpitated as he thoughtfully helped her put on the jade pendant.
Although it could be said that she had agreed to this marriage herself, they had only seen each other two or three times before the wedding. Her husband’s appearance was well-known in the business industry, and some people privately gave him the nickname of ‘Jade-faced Lord Mengchang’ .
She had heard about him a long time ago. He was handsome, a business genius, and a philanthropic man… Because of her curiosity, she had once dressed up as a man to peep at him without her family’s knowledge. His handsome looks and unique disposition left a deep impression on her. When the middleman came to propose marriage, her mother had quietly told her that the person who proposed marriage was actually the future head of the Zhou Family. At that time, she had inwardly jumped with joy.
Huang Shuya was a compet.i.tive woman. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have studied business with her older brothers at a young age. Furthermore, she acted like spoiled brat and asked her father for the management rights of several shops. She also declared that she wanted to compete with her older brothers to see who was better. Facts had proven that she indeed had her own knacks in business. The shops that she managed thrived, which caused her father and brothers to look at her in a new perspective.
She was the youngest child in the family and the only girl after her mother gave birth to five boys. At home, she was loved by her father and pampered by her older brothers. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let her ‘monkey around’ and study business as a woman.
As for her marriage, her family had also asked for her opinion. Her parents had even agreed to her ‘absurd’ request to meet Third Young Master Zhou before the engagement. So, accompanied by her parents, she met him in a private room at The Yu’s Tea and Pastries Shop.
At that time, Hunag Shuya had wanted to pretend to be an elegant lady. However, when her father and Third Young Master Zhou mentioned the founder of The Yu’s—her idol Miss Yu—she couldn’t help but join in the conversation. She expressed her respect and admiration towards Miss Yu, as well as familiarity with her ‘great achievements’. She solemnly stated that Yu Xiaocao was the person who she admired the most beside her father!
Huang Shuya had a lively appearance when she spoke excitedly, which reminded Third Young Master Zhou of Yu Xiaocao. He had thought that he wouldn’t meet another young girl, who was independent and ambitious, except for Xiacoao. He hadn’t expected that the wife chosen by his family was such an interesting person. Third Young Master Zhou’s impression of the daughter of the Huang Family had deepened. Perhaps, this unantic.i.p.ated marriage alliance would bring him unexpected gains!
“Thank you, Husband!” Huang Shuya looked at the dragon shaped jade pendant on Third Young Master Zhou’s waist. It was obviously made of the same piece of jade as her pendant. She had a jewelry box that stored jewelry made of gold, silver, and pearls. There were also some jade hairpins, jade bangles, and jade pendants. The texture of this pair of jade pendants was absolutely exquisite. It was apparent that they were carved by an expert craftsman, and they were worth a lot.
“Husband, did you buy this jade pendant from Wisdom Jade Pavillion? It’s really rare to find such an exquisite jade accessory shop in the capital!” Huang Shuya originally had a generous and straightforward temperament. After getting over her shyness at the beginning, she had gradually opened up.
Third Young Master Zhou took out a pink pearl bracelet, pulled on her fair, soft hands, and gently put it on for her. With the pink pearl bracelet, her pale and slender wrist looked even more clear and smooth. He retracted his gaze and looked at his bashful wife, saying, “I think so? This pair of jade pendants is a wedding gift from Younger Sister Xiaocao. She also specially instructed me to give this pink pearl bracelet to her older sister-in-law…”
Upon hearing the t.i.tle of ‘Older Sister-in-law’, Huang Shuya’s face flushed bright red with embarra.s.sment, as if pink clouds had drifted onto her lovely face. To be honest, she preferred the pearl bracelet on her wrist to the jade pendant. It wasn’t difficult to find pearls the size of a joint of a pinky finger, but it was hard to find pink pearls. Furthermore, no matter if it was their size, roundness, or color, this string of pearls seemed to be identical, which was even more rare. There were very few young girls who didn’t like soft pinkish colors. Hence, Huang Shuya really liked this pearl bracelet.
