C180 (2/2)

As she sat in the swaying palanquin, listening to the endless sounds of joy outside, Xiaowan recalled her dream from last night. That dream made her feel even more real, but she did not dare tell anyone about it, lest they think that she was strange.

He didn't know why, but after meeting Little Pei and then meeting him again, she had always thought that the Aunt Zhang and Susu seemed to have known each other since the beginning. It was as if they were a family in her previous life.

It was good to be alive.

This was Xiaowan's greatest regret and gratitude. She had not died under Madam Xu's torture and thought that the heavens had not finished punishing her. Turns out it wasn't so.

As long as he was alive, he would definitely meet someone good, something good.

The sedan chair had just stopped, but amidst the booming of the firecrackers, Little Pei's childish voice could be heard shouting, ”My mother is here, my mother is here.”

The door curtain was lifted, and Ling Chaofeng leaned his body over, his hand reaching underneath the bridal veil. Xiaowan placed her own hand gently into the man's palm, and it was immediately held firmly by the man.

This grip, from now on, would be for the rest of his life.

After entering the main hall, Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang sat in the main hall, grinning from ear to ear. After all sorts of festive and lively etiquette, Xiaowan was sent to her bedroom on the third floor.

When Susu came to bring food to him, she said: ”The shopkeeper has been forced to drink too much today. Evening, you must be careful during the night.”

Xiaowan looked at her blankly, then Susu laughed sinisterly: ”Evening, do you understand, do you want me to teach you?”

”I don't want to …” Xiaowan lightly hit her, ”You only know how to bully me.”

It was a bustling day, and the banquet lasted from noon until evening. In the eighth village, Ling Chaofeng's friends received a stream of joyous news and came to congratulate him continuously. There were even some who did not receive an invitation and came to the village uninvited, only punishing him with three cups of wine after entering the door.

Xiaowan peeked down from the gap in the door. Her vision was limited, and it wasn't always possible to see Hubby when she returned, but she was worried that Ling Chaofeng would appear in her sight.

Ling Chaofeng, who had never been drunk before, felt his feet go soft as he climbed the stairs today. He was escorted by his family into the wedding room.

The scale with the red embroidered ball carefully reached into the bridal veil and with a flick, he saw the shy bride with her eyes lowered. Her long and light eyelashes slightly trembled, bringing with them some sparkling and translucent tears.

It was unknown whether it was because he was drunk or because he had fallen deeply in love, but he was actually kneeling on the side of the bed, holding Xiaowan's hand and looking at his face. Aunt Zhang and the others were all giggling, saying that the groom kneeled down to the bride in such a hurry.

Xiaowan did not want Master to kneel to him. Ling Chaofeng reeked of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes.

Everyone helped Ling Chaofeng to sit on the bed, then carried over a bottle of wine and watched the two as they drank it all up. After they completed the ceremony, they said that the Spring Festival Gala was worth a thousand gold and left.

The Xiaowan followed her to the door, and Susu pushed her to say: ”What are you doing here, why aren't you taking care of the bridegroom? Aiya, don't worry, we won't eavesdrop, it's not rare.”

”Ignore you.” When she looked down and saw Little Pei standing at the side with a smile on his face, she squatted down and said gently, ”Good Little Pei, Mother will sleep with you tomorrow, okay?”

”Mom, dad said that I'll keep pestering you to sleep from now on. He's going to spank me.” Little Pei hurriedly complained.

”Don't worry, from today onwards, Little Pei will be a child with a mother. Who would dare to hit you?” Xiaowan held his son's face and kissed him.

The Aunt Zhang carried the fat kid. Susu quickly closed the door and the family went downstairs, laughing.

Xiaowan looked at the door and her heart skipped a beat.

She felt warm inside, and her heart, which had been still for the better part of a day, started beating rapidly. She knew that tonight, she was going to truly be her husband's wife.

But when he turned around, he saw that the man was sprawled on the bed. Ling Chaofeng was drunk and had actually fallen asleep.

Xiaowan was stunned, then laughed helplessly. She took off her complicated jewelry, took off her wedding dress, and started to untie Ling Chaofeng's belt. Just as she reached out, the person sleeping suddenly opened his eyes, Ling Chaofeng carried her and turned, pressing Xiaowan down on him.

”Hubby …” ”You're not asleep?” The eyes of the Xiaowan moved about with an amorous gaze, her soft voice seemed to melt her bones, causing Ling Chaofeng's mind to fly into the sky.

”How could I bear to sleep? It's so late at night and so beautiful.” Ling Chaofeng looked at his wife carefully. As if he didn't love her enough, he kissed her again and again.

However, Xiaowan had already extended her hand to take off the belt on his clothes, her breath was a little ragged as she said, ”I know … ”Then … Then why didn't you take off your clothes …”
