In fact, it was only for this night.
"You're going to leave me alone?" Huo Chang Yuan's tone was not good and a dense amount of resentment was enveloping between his brows. He held her hand and was about to take large strides into the villa, "Then I'll also sleep here tonight!"
"I'm afraid that won't do!" Lin Wan Bai bit her lips in a difficult manner.
"Why not?" Huo Chang Yuan was furious.
Lin Wan Bai observed his expression and carefully explained, "Grandfather and Aunt both said that Ice City's customs are not allowed to be together as a groom and bride the night before their wedding."
Generally speaking, there were customs everywhere. On the day of marriage, they had to rush from the husband's house to the woman's place to get married. There were even some where the two newlyweds could not meet for the entire day.
After Huo Chang Yuan heard this, he scolded in a low voice, "Where did this lousy habit come from?!"
He had already planned to sleep with his wife in his arms tonight. Tomorrow morning, he would personally dress her in a wedding dress and then take her hand into the church. Under the witness of his family and friends, he would make a life-long vow in front of the priest.
Lin Wan Bai's face was full of awkwardness, he did not dare make a sound.
Huo Chang Yuan glared at her for a while with hidden bitterness. Seeing that she was unmoved, he gradually lost and his tone was filled with grievance, "Wife, did you really abandon me tonight?"
Lin Wan Bai nodded silently.
The sound of footsteps came from behind him. Since he returned from England with Li Jiang Nan, the smile on his face had never lessened as Zheng Chu Yu walked over with Little Bun. Little Bun was holding onto a peach with one hand as he nibbled on it with relish.
Zheng Chu Yu acted as if he did not see Huo Chang Yuan, who was carrying him up. After all, as his family, he was able to hold his own for a while, so he ran forward and said, "Xiao Bai, Grandfather is urging you to go in. According to the customs, you and Brother Chang Yuan cannot meet tonight!"
"Uh, I know!" Lin Wan Bai braced himself and nodded.
Ye Zichen secretly looked at his face again. It really did look a lot darker than before.
Because Zheng Chu Yu and the little bun were both here, she tiptoed and kissed his face, then roared out, "Hubby, then I'll go in first. I'll wait for you tomorrow!"
"Let's go!" Zheng Chu Yu did not say anything further and pulled her along.
His steps were fast as well. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from the villa. Under the moonlight, even his lips had turned into a thin line.
The little bun remained at his original spot, his little mouth biting on the peach and splattering it with juice. After swallowing it, he pursed his lips towards his Dung and laughed, saying proudly, "Hehe, great grandpa said that my baby can stay here ~"
The night had come to an end and the entire villa was quiet. There was only the reserved starlight in the night sky.
Lin Wan Bai lived in the innermost room on the second floor, Chao Yang. It was originally Lu Xue Fang's room from when he was young, and he had purposely let her marry.
As the little bun who had pressed his mother down on the bed, he had long since fallen asleep and was snoring cutely with his mouth open.
Lin Wan Bai, on the other hand, still hadn't fallen asleep. For some unknown reason, he felt a little uneasy, afraid that his son would be disturbed by the turn of events.
Suddenly, she heard some noises coming from the window and couldn't help but look over.
In the darkness, the vague outline of a person appeared behind the curtains.
Lin Wan Bai was shocked, she then heard the sound of someone's fingers tapping on the window, thinking of something, she quietly lifted her blanket and got off the bed, walking to the window window and pulling open the curtains. As expected, she saw Huo Chang Yuan climbing onto the windowsill.
She quickly opened the window and let him in, "Hubby, are you crazy? Why are you climbing up the window in the middle of the night!"
"The door to the villa is locked. It's not like the Lu family won't let me see you!" Huo Chang Yuan snorted, supporting himself with both hands, he jumped in neatly and gently closed the window, no one noticing.
In other words, he could only climb out the window. Lin Wan Bai looked at the height of the ground outside the window and bit his lips, "... It's too dangerous! "
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Huo Chang Yuan smiled and patted the dust off his hands.
Lin Wan Bai was pulled into his embrace, his hands supporting his sturdy waist, he could not help but ask, "The night before the wedding, the groom and the bride cannot meet.
After which, he felt that something was amiss and repeated 'pui pui' a few times.
Huo Chang Yuan was tickled by her silly look. He leaned over and kissed her on the mouth, "Why aren't you sleeping this late?"
"I feel a little uneasy and can't fall asleep …" Lin Wan Bai honestly told him. After thinking about it, he took a deep breath, "Tomorrow might be the wedding day, I'm too nervous!"
"What's there to be nervous about?" Huo Chang Yuan asked despite knowing the answer.
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips, her cheeks flushed red, "I was afraid that something would go wrong tomorrow, I was afraid that I would step on the wedding dress, and forget the oath, I would …"
Although she had rehearsed once already, when it came to her real experience, she was still worried that she would make a mistake due to her nervousness. After all, this was a matter of life and death.
"Nope." Huo Chang Yuan pulled back his arms, holding her even tighter, he whispered in her ear, "Dou Dou will help you hold the wedding dress behind, the oaths are all written on paper, at that time, just recite them directly, even if there is nothing you need to be afraid of, with your husband around!"
This sentence, "With a husband here," made it seem as if the sky was about to collapse. She didn't even have to be afraid.
Lin Wan Bai replied softly. Her breath was filled with his unique scent and being hugged by him made her feel at ease, as if she was leaning against a tall mountain.
Huo Chang Yuan came late into the night to climb up through the window, so naturally he wouldn't leave. He didn't want to sleep on a huge bed alone, and he couldn't even take a night of this.
The two of them took off their clothes and lay down side by side. The sleeping little bun bewilderedly opened his eyes and shouted, "Mom ~"
After he turned his body, and touched upon Huo Chang Yuan's firm and strong arm, he shouted again indistinctly: "Dung ~"
Until the arrival of dawn on the second day, while everyone was still unconscious, Huo Chang Yuan climbed down from the window along his original route. During this entire process, not a single person in the Lu Mansion noticed him.
Even the little bun, who had been lying between them the night before, looked around after getting up. He scratched his head and said to her in a soft voice, "Mom, I seem to have dreamt of the Dung last night!"
"Ugh." Lin Wan Bai gave a vague reply.
Not long after he finished washing up, someone knocked on the door. Zheng Chu Yu's voice that was full of vitality came from outside, "Xiaobai, are you awake? The makeup artist is here! "
