Chapter 919 - The Very First Gift (1/2)

While resting her head on Darren's shoulder, Xiu didn't even realize when she fell asleep. She hadn't gotten a chance to rest today at all. She had been dragged around since the time she woke up in the morning. So, the exhaustion finally caught up to her.

Even though there was music playing around as everyone was dancing happily, she was still able to sleep peacefully. Perhaps, it was because she was really happy. Or it was because she was leaning against her husband.

Darren softly touched her face and whispered, ”Sweets, wake up!” Xiu mumbled something under her breath and moved just to nuzzle further into the crook of his neck. Darren smiled at her, ”If you want to sleep, let's go inside. You can't sleep here.”

Xiu rubbed her eyes and opened her eyes slowly, ”Where are we?”

Darren brushed her hair away from her face, ”Look around.”

Xiu blinked her eyes and finally noticed where they were, ”Ohhh... It's our wedding.”

Darren nodded his head, ”Yeah. It's our wedding.” He patted her head and said, ”Let's go and cut the cake. Then you can go inside and sleep. Or we can skip it as well.” Xiu looked up at him with squinted eyes and Darren chuckled, ”Not skipping. Not skipping for sure.”

He supported her body and brought her around towards the cake. Xiu laughed out when she looked at the cake. Only because there seemed to be three chibi characters placed on top. One was Xiu, the second was Darren and there was another one of a little tiger cub. Xiu was laughing at that little tiger.

Her laughter was so infectious that everyone started smiling along as she cut the cake with Darren.

Usually, at weddings, it'd be the bride and groom whom the guests would see off but in this wedding reception, the guests were seen off by the bride and groom.

”Little lass, do you have to stand here? Just go inside already. There is no need to see everyone off.”

”Xiu, Xiao Zi is right. You should go inside and rest. You must be really tired.”

Although everyone told her to go inside, she still insisted on staying here to see everyone off.

While saying goodbye, Bo Jiu placed a small giftbox in her hand and said, ”Xiuxiu, can you say sorry to your brother for me?”

”Which one?”

”That cold one,” she replied.

Xiu chuckled, ”Why? What did you do to Li bro?”

”I accidentally hit him.”

Xiu's lips parted and she looked surprised. ”Don't worry. Although he looks cold, he is really sweet. He won't even remember that hit for long.”

Getting her reassurance, Bo Jiu nodded and left.
