"Our family's Xiao Ran sees the bigger picture. After all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of our family, and she has been raised by a lady of a famous family since she was young. She is different from those who are raised outside."
I coldly looked at Lu Yunliu, her words not only belittled me, it also humiliated Bo Lengqing, if I continued to endure, I'm afraid she would really bully me!
"Auntie Lu is right, I am indeed unable to learn the way of famous girls. I am also regretting my decision. If only I had learned from you and my elder sister-in-law earlier …" I said, trying to sound suspicious.
A smirk flashed across Lu Yunliu's face, as he thought that I was lowering my head to her, "It's not too late to learn now."
Not too late? I'm afraid she's thinking about how to torture me again! How could I give her that chance?!
"Too late, it's too late!" I intentionally shook my head in annoyance, "If I had studied with Auntie Lu and Sister-in-law earlier, I could have married into the Bo Family earlier. There's no need to wait until today!"
"You!" Lu Yunliu's face changed, even Lin Ran's became ugly, but they chose to do it first, as I am only giving them a taste of their own medicine, even if they hate me to the point that their teeth are going to itch, they can't do anything to me!
"Auntie Lu, I do not understand. I was raised outside and do not understand the rules. If there is anything wrong with your words, please take responsibility!" I laughed so properly that she couldn't speak a word.
"Since you don't understand, then you should learn. In any case, your sister-in-law is already married. In the future, we will live under the same roof for a year. Don't worry, Mom and I will definitely 'teach' you well!" Lin Ran smiled meaningfully at me, and his expression seemed to be warning me that there would be a lot of time to wait and see.
"Thank you, my dear sister-in-law, for your kindness. There is no need for outsiders to question my people." At this time, Bo Lengqing, who had been silently spectating at the side, spoke up. He held me in his arms, and the pressure from his body completely enveloped me.
"Alright, alright, there are so many people waiting for you to toast. You're the main characters of today, don't waste your time here." The Little Aunt helped us round the situation, and only then did we leave.
When we were about to go to the next table, Bo Lengqing grabbed my waist and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "I didn't think that my great wife was so powerful, to actually be able to talk a few rounds with Lu Yunliu. It looks like my fighting strength isn't lacking."
I glared at him. Just now, this man was so busy watching a good show that he didn't even have the intention to help me. If I didn't fight back, I would have been dragged away by my nose in the future!
"You still have the nerve to say that!"
"I'm doing this for your own good." He had an innocent look on his face, "According to the rules, after we get married, we have to stay in the old mansion for a year, and you'll meet each other every day. You should have some ability to protect yourself, after all, I can't guarantee that I can stay by your side every minute."
"What did you say?!" It's no wonder that with Lin Ran's "There's still a lot of time to come, let's just wait and see" attitude, I actually want to live with this group of people for an entire year?!
When I think about it, I feel like I've swallowed a dead rat!
It was one thing if these people liked to talk fast, but after being stuck in this pool of Bo Family for so many years, who would believe that their wives wouldn't do something so simple!
"Don't worry, it's not like we have to go back everyday. In any case, we are always busy with our work, so every now and then, we just need to come up with a 'errand boy'. As for the child … Didn't they like life on the island? Then send them there. With Grandfather and Grandmother there, their safety can be guaranteed. "
I silently looked at him. After all that time, he had already planned everything!
"Wife, are you ready to fight alongside me?"
I pinched his waist. "On account of your sincerity."
He was in pain, but he held me tighter.
We toasted several times that day, but we didn't see Huo Ting at the same table.
Even after sending the invitation, he still didn't come.
I was a little disappointed, and I thought, he probably won't forgive me anymore,
The wedding banquet continued, but as the bride, I was sent to the "bridal room" in advance — the old lady had specially prepared a new room for Bo Lengqing and me.
The old lady was a very traditional person. Her new house was decorated just like the old days, with a kind of simple yet heavy beauty.
I donned a red qipao and sat on the bed, quietly waiting for Bo Lengqing.
This scene had appeared in my dreams before. I didn't expect that there would actually be a day that I would realize it.
After an unknown period of time, he finally arrived.
He staggered in, reeking of alcohol.
I rushed to help him up, fearing he would fall. However, he locked the door behind him and pushed me against the wall.
"You drank too much, rest early …" I pushed him, and he suddenly laughed and slumped against me.
"You're so beautiful today." His voice was hoarse and filled with a strange charm.
"You're drunk …"
I pushed him, but he picked me up and walked straight to the bed.
He gently placed me on the bed and pressed me over. "Wife, I've finally married you."
His eyes were like a pool of unfathomable dark spring water, yet it made you feel as if the spring water was boiling and warm.
His hands started to be dishonest as he scurried around my body. I held him down: "No, the book says that men cannot sleep together when they are drunk, otherwise …" "Otherwise, if it's not good for your health, wait for me here. I'll go down and cook a bowl of hangover for you first …"
I wanted to push him away, but he grabbed me and pulled me into his arms.
"Silly wife, I'm not drunk, I'm just pretending."
"Nonsense! Those who are drunk like to say that they aren't drunk! "
"I'm not drunk," he said, blowing into my ear. "How are we going to get into the bridal chamber if I get drunk, huh?"
"I …" "Ugh …" I was about to say something else, but he stopped me.
The next day, I opened my eyes, tired. It had already been a while since dawn, and my stomach was rumbling from hunger. I started to protest unwillingly.
This man was too fierce. In order to prove that I wasn't drunk, he dragged me along last night and fought me until the early hours of the morning.
He was satisfied, but I felt as if I was about to be torn apart, unable to muster any strength.
I subconsciously touched my side, but I didn't manage to touch anything. I dragged my exhausted body up. It was unknown when I was the only one left in the room.
His heart felt a little empty. Where did he go …
Struggling to get off the bed, I opened the door only to see him holding his phone with a grave expression. He seemed to be talking to someone on the phone. I didn't hear his words clearly.
I didn't want him to find out that I was coming down to look for him, so I carefully closed the door and climbed into bed, pretending to be still asleep on my back.
A moment later, I heard the door open, followed by a familiar smell.
When he opened his eyes, all he owed him was a bowl of steaming hot noodles which he placed on the bedside table.
"You're awake?"
He smiled, the corners of his eyes filled with tenderness, as if the solemnity and dullness had been my delusion.
"Right." I know he has a lot of things I don't know.
But if he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have asked.
All I need to know is that he will never betray me and hurt me.
"There aren't any ingredients left at home. The grocery store's auntie hasn't come back yet. I just found these in the fridge. You can eat them."
I looked at him without moving.
"Not hungry?"
I shook my head.
"You want me to feed it to you?"
I gave him a sweet smile. He rubbed my head helplessly. "Come, open your mouth."
After eating and drinking to my heart's content, I only felt like sleeping for a while longer. He also knew that I had gone through too much last night, so he didn't say anything and left.
He opened his eyes again, but it was his grandmother who called him to wake him up.
"Quickly get up. Today is the day that the new bride will serve tea to my in-laws. The first day of marriage is not a wrong day for others to choose from!"
Only then did I get up and wash up. By the time I packed up and went downstairs, it was already late.
Due to the late end of the wedding yesterday, Bo Family and the rest were temporarily staying at the Shen Family Residence. Now, in the living room, everyone was present.
The old granny and Aunt Shen Yu sat on the main seat of the sofa, Lu Yunliu and Lin Ran both sat in the guest's seat. As for the Old Gramps, they didn't say a word about yesterday's wedding, even more so today.
