Chapter 236 Don't Go Too Far

To Zhang Mingrui, her words were nothing more than an excuse.

"You make it sound so noble, but all you really care about is that he's taller and more handsome than me, isn't it? In the end, you're just being hypocritical!"

"Say what you will," Qu Jianhang said. "My choice will not change."

Zhang Mingrui was rich and powerful, and he had never suffered a setback except when it came to Qu Jianhang.

This made him feel very embarrassed.

After that, he almost never saw Qu Jianhang again.

If the person Qu Jianhang selected were a businessman or not a high-ranking official, he might still be unwilling to give up and might cause some trouble.

But the other party is Yan Chengyu, what can he do?

Qu Jianhang hadn't planned to invite him to the wedding at all, but since the two families had a good relationship and were getting old, they decided to have Zhang Mingrui accompany them.

Honestly, Qu Jianhang really didn't want to see him.

But since he's already here, there's no way to drive him away.

However, Yan Chengyu was unaware of this matter.

Yan Chengyu knew that Zhang Mingrui had been very high-profile in pursuing her.

If he knew he was also attending the wedding, he would probably feel uneasy.

So when Yan Chengyu arrived, Qu Jianhang was going to talk to him about it.

But the night before the wedding, when Yan Chengyu arrived, Qu Jianhang found him to be very tired.

Qu Jianhang felt only heartache and just wanted him to rest.

As a result, I forgot about it.

Actually, it's nothing. On the wedding day, as long as Zhang Mingrui behaves himself, he will accompany the two elders to leave after the wedding.

Then nothing happened.

Unfortunately, this guy had a few too many drinks at the wedding and seized the opportunity to pull Qu Jianhang aside.

Qu Jianhang shook off his hand: "What are you doing!"

"What are you doing?" Zhang Mingrui's eyes were red from drinking. "Jian Hang, you're getting married today... I'm happy, I'm so happy!"

Qu Jianhang didn't want to talk to him and wanted someone to help him to rest.

Zhang Mingrui stopped her: "Can't I even say a few words to you? From now on, you are, you are Mrs. Yan..."

Qu Jianhang was speechless: "What are you trying to say?"

“Jian Hang, I’m so upset, I’m in so much pain…” Zhang Mingrui looked at her with red eyes: “What did I do that I don’t? Is it just because I did that one thing wrong? I’m a man, I just made a mistake that all men make! I don’t believe Yan Chengyu wouldn’t make a mistake, I don’t believe it…”

"You're drunk." Qu Jianhang really didn't want to talk to him: "I'll have someone help you to rest."

"I'm not drunk!" Zhang Mingrui got angry as soon as he heard that: "I'm telling the truth! All men in the world are the same! But my sincerity towards you... Heaven and earth can bear witness! Why don't you believe me?"

Qu Jianhang had no desire to argue with him any further: "Alright, alright, I understand, you're right. Look, there are still many relatives and friends waiting for me to toast them. How about we talk another day?"

"Another day? Will you even listen to me another day? You never talk to me..."

A man in his fifties, drunk, acted as aggrieved as a child.

Qu Jianhang was speechless: "Fine, I'll listen, okay? Let's set a time and have a good talk then."

"Really? You can't lie to me!"

To get rid of him, Qu Jianhang had no choice but to say, "I mean what I say. How about the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay, you promised me. I'll treat you to dinner the day after tomorrow!"

Qu Jianhang quickly beckoned a waiter: "Please take him back to rest."

As Zhang Mingrui left, he waved and said, "Jian Hang, you promised me, the day after tomorrow, no backing out!"

He was drunk, but he spoke quite normally.

Qu Jianhang looked up and saw Yan Chengyu.

Yan Chengyu came to find her, but he didn't expect to see this scene.

Qu Jianhang quickly explained to him, "He was drunk, so don't take what he said to heart."

"The day after tomorrow?"

Qu Jianhang hurriedly said, "If I don't coax him to leave quickly, what if he makes a scene? I won't see him anyway."

Why is he here?

“His parents and my parents get along well, there’s nothing I can do.” Qu Jianhang took his arm: “Are you angry?”

"What do you think? If we get married, you should invite my rival."

"What rival in love?" Qu Jianhang laughed. "How could he compare to you?"

"Come on." Yan Chengyu flicked her nose. "I'm angry. What do you suggest we do? You even arranged to meet him at our wedding."

"I already told you I was just trying to appease him, I won't go." Qu Jianhang said, "Okay, don't be angry, it's a wonderful day, only a fool would be angry."

As evening fell, the two finally managed to escape the blessings of their relatives and friends and retreated to their room.

They were all exhausted, lying side by side on the bed, still in their clothes, not wanting to move an inch.

"Hanghang..."

Qu Jianhang hummed in agreement.

"That's wonderful." Yan Chengyu turned to the side, propped his head up with one hand, and looked down at her. "We're finally married."

"We've already registered our marriage," Qu Jianhang said. "The wedding is just a formality."

"I can't let everyone know about getting the marriage certificate, and I can't announce it to the public. But the wedding can. Now, everyone knows you're mine."

"Yes, I am yours, and you are mine."

"Hanghang..."

Qu Jianhang reached out and hugged him: "Yan Chengyu, don't be jealous or angry. For me, marrying you means that my heart belongs to you. So, no one else matters, and no one can compare to you."

“I know you’re sincere, but Hanghang, I don’t trust those men. You say men have flaws, and I’m a man too, I have them too.”

"But you will restrain yourself."

“There are times when I can’t control myself.” Yan Chengyu looked at her. “You asked me before what I would do if I met you and Jin Dong’s mother was still alive.”

"Is your answer different from before? Why bring this up again?"

“I told you then that I wouldn’t get a divorce because I had a responsibility to the marriage. But I couldn’t control my heart and had an emotional affair, which was equally despicable.”

Qu Jianhang looked at him without saying a word.

"Because that person is you." Yan Chengyu touched her face; "Hanghang, so don't overestimate a man's character, learn to protect yourself, understand?"

"So, you're still afraid I'll meet Zhang Mingrui." Qu Jianhang couldn't help but pinch him: "I'm not that stupid."

"Good to know." Yan Chengyu kissed her. "You have no idea what men are thinking."

"What are you thinking about?" Qu Jianhang looked at him. "What is Secretary Yan thinking about right now?"

"I want to kiss you, I want to..." Yan Chengyu lowered his voice, the rest of his words falling softly into her ear.

Qu Jianhang's face turned red: "You old lewd man!"

"Who are you calling old?" Yan Chengyu pinched her hand. "Hmm, who are you calling old?"

"I'm old, I'm old, okay..." Qu Jianhang laughed uncontrollably: "Don't touch me, it tickles!"

“I won’t touch you,” Pei Muye lowered his head; “Then I’ll kiss you.”

Tonight is their wedding night, a precious moment of bliss.

On good days, we should always do something to commemorate them.

At this moment, Lin Xiyin was also lying in Pei Muyi's arms, filled with endless emotions.

She had attended other people's weddings before, but none of them had moved her so much.

She sat below, watching Yan Chengyu slip the ring onto Qu Jianhang's finger.

Listening to them say "I do" to each other.

Lin Xiyin's eyes were filled with tears.

Even now, lying in bed, Lin Xiyin is still filled with emotion.

"You're so envious, then let's get married sooner," Pei Muye said, "a month earlier?"

“No need,” Lin Xiyin said. “Didn’t you say that the scenery there is most beautiful in September and October?”

"But I see that you are eager to marry me."

Seeing his mischievous grin, Lin Xiyin couldn't help but punch him lightly: "Who's so eager to marry you?"

"It's me, it's me who can't wait to marry you." Pei Muye kissed her. "I've been dreaming about it."

Lin Xiyin said, "Actually, our lives now are no different from after we got married. Do you think we'll always be like this in the future?"

Pei Muye said, "I know you enjoy the feeling of being in love, but Yinyin, when two people have been together for a long time, their feelings for each other may not be the same as in the beginning. How should I put it? There's less novelty and sweetness, but there's more affection. Do you understand what I mean?"

“I know,” Lin Xiyin said. “People say that love only lasts two or three years, or even less…”

"No matter what others do, I will try my best to make our shelf life longer, and even longer, okay?"

"good."

After a tender moment, the two brought up the matter that Yan Chengyu had mentioned before.

Pei Muye said, "It's the best thing for a family to live together. It's just..."

Lin Xiyin asked him, "What is it?"

Pei Muyi sighed, "Yinyin, I want to spend some time alone with you. We didn't cherish those years properly. This time, I want to spend every day with you."

“I will also make sure we have a good time together. But... as for just the two of us, we already have a son, how can we possibly have any time together as a couple?”

"So I'm just thinking," Pei Muye said with a smile, "What's the difference between one light bulb and three?"

"Okay, so you're saying your son is a third wheel."

“Isn’t that right?” Pei Muye sighed, “When you live with children and elders, you can’t just hug or kiss them as you please…”

"Is this what you think about all day?" Lin Xiyin said, exasperated. "Can't you think about something else?"

"Yinyin, you have no idea how much I long to live with you and experience a life of blissful intimacy. Before we got divorced, I wanted to do so many things with you, but we never had the chance."

"I'll do it from now on." Lin Xiyin hugged him. "Even if we live with our parents and children, we still have our own room, right? Whatever you want to do, do you think I won't let you do it?"

"So, in our own room, you can do whatever you want with me, right?"

"Don't go too far..."

"Where did I go too far?" Pei Muye lowered his head and kissed her; "All these years, I've been so pitiful..."

The room was soon filled with the colors of spring.

The next day, most of the guests left, leaving behind almost entirely young people.

Qu Jingyou didn't leave either.
