Chapter 282

Huh?

When Fan Xiaoxiao turned to look at him, Gu Zhongtai smiled and took her hand.

"Lady White Snake meant well."

"She lingered outside for a long time, clearly having made up her mind."

"Wouldn't it be a waste of their kindness to refuse?"

Fan Xiaoxiao felt a sudden realization after his reminder.

Bai Chaoyan was someone who had gone through hardships with everyone.

Although she is the female lead, she is very easy to get along with. When she was in Tianshan Village, she never refused to do anything within her power.

How could someone like that be a stereotypical villain?

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things more clearly; Boss Gu seems to have a clearer perspective.

"Okay, I understand." Fan Xiaoxiao felt relieved and said with a smile, "I'll thank Lady Bai properly when I see her later."

"When she marries Xiahou in the future, we will prepare more generous gifts."

"Mm." Gu Chongtai nodded with a smile.

He thought for a moment, then took out a small knife from his pocket. The blade was exquisite, and it looked more like a pleasing work of art than a weapon.

Gu Zhongtai cleared his throat: "It happened so suddenly, I didn't have any hairpins or rings prepared."

"Consider this knife a betrothal gift. Madam can use it to peel an apple or for self-defense."

"Okay!" Fan Xiaoxiao was quite pleased, especially since her husband rarely gave her gifts.

They immediately took it all.

Seeing the smile on her face, Gu Zhongtai's initial unease disappeared, and the two of them burst into laughter.

...

...

The wedding was held that evening.

The people in the town, the reformed bandits in the mountains, the craftsmen, and the relatives and friends who had followed along the way.

Although simple, it was still quite lively.

Fan Xiaoxiao used to just want to live a good life, but later she also wanted to eat and drink well.

As for marriage, she had actually thought about it.

She was probably just an ordinary young man, and she rode in a bridal sedan chair, traveling over mountains and valleys in an ordinary way to marry him.

Right now.

The lively wedding was actually quite simple.

Even the bridal sedan chair no longer needs to travel over mountains and valleys.

The only use of liveliness is—

Make a ruckus in the wedding room!

"How could Lady Xiao be shy? The new son-in-law should hold his wife and spin her around a few times."

"Yes, yes, yes! The bride is no ordinary person, and neither is the new son-in-law! It would be best if he could hold the bride while drinking the wedding wine..."

"Make way! I'm scattering fruit!"

The lively crowd outside laughed and joked with him.

As soon as peanuts, longans, and candied fruit were scattered, the village children all laughed and picked them up.

...

Fan Xiaoxiao sat alone in the room.

This place has undergone a simple renovation.

Previously, it was just one of the better bedrooms in a bandit's den.

It provides absolutely no sound insulation.

She was filled with regret right now.

If those shameless eavesdroppers were there, they'd probably have everything overheard.

For a moment, her mind wandered, and the more she thought about it, the redder her face became.

This was also the first time she had hidden herself away and let her sister, Lady Fan, and her new husband deal with people.

I thought I would have to wait a long time.

But to my surprise, it became quiet outside after only the time it takes to drink two cups of tea.

Then the door creaked open.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Fan Xiaoxiao heard the person who came in bolt the door.

In my line of sight, beneath the red wedding dress, were a pair of black boots.

He paused, then lifted the scale beam and lifted her red veil.

The girl's cheeks flushed red, and she lost her usual composure, appearing somewhat shy and flustered.

"Madam." He opened his mouth and finally called out the words.

Fan Xiaoxiao was already shy, and now she blushed even more, her face turning red to the roots of her neck: "Mmm."

The voice was so low it was almost inaudible.

Her fingers twisted her clothes, and after a while, seeing that he was still standing, Fan Xiaoxiao looked up and asked, "Would you like to sit?"

As he spoke, he moved a little to the side.

Gu Zhongtai lifted his robe and was about to sit down when he stood up straight the next second.

"There are still things I haven't taken care of."

"Why?"

Fan Xiaoxiao looked up in surprise and saw him walk towards the window with a big red "double happiness" character pasted on it.

The wedding dress was made on the spot, and apart from the decent sewing skills, it had no embellishments.

In other words, Gu is good-looking enough.

Even in the simplest wedding dress, she can still achieve a stunningly beautiful appearance.

He took two glasses of wine from the table.

"The Heqin wine must be drunk."

All the minor details were omitted, including paying respects to one's parents, which involved choosing the direction of their graves after their passing.

Rules are necessary, otherwise things would not be proper.

Fan Xiaoxiao has a low alcohol tolerance.

But the wedding wine must be drunk.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and downed the wine in one gulp…

Last time, Gu Zhongtai got drunk.

Fan Xiaoxiao drank with him, but hardly drank any herself.

But this time, the wine was truly aged, and it hit the nail on the head way too quickly…

As soon as she put down the cup, she felt a little dizzy.

"Heavy, heavy platform..."

"Um."

"I see you as several versions of yourself now..."

She closed her eyes tightly and shook her head.

I dared not speak, afraid that if I spoke any more, I wouldn't be able to speak clearly anymore.

In a daze, it seemed as if my feet suddenly gave way to nothing, and I was lifted into the air.

His deep voice reached my ears.

"Madam, you are drunk."

"I'm not drunk!" Fan Xiaoxiao retorted instinctively.

But soon she became so confused that she let her husband do as he pleased.

The curtains fell, and the candles went out.

...

The night was long.

The red waves were turned upside down.

...

...

When Fan Xiaoxiao woke up, she felt weak all over.

It took me a while to remember what day it was last night.

At that moment, a hand was placed on his body.

"!" Fan Xiaoxiao was startled. When she turned her head again, she saw his tired and serene sleeping face, which was so beautiful it was almost unfair...

After hesitating for a long time, she reached out and gently lifted his sleeve.

Pick up that paw and take it away.

Then.

I threw back the covers, enduring the aches and pains, and prepared to get up...

Seeing the few bright red plum blossoms in the quilt, she felt incredibly cheated.

Before I could even get up, I felt a tightness in my wrist.

He was pulled back amidst a gasp of surprise.

"..."

"Madam, where are we going?" Gu Chongtai opened his sleepy eyes and pulled her into his arms, refusing to let her go.

"...No, I saw you weren't awake, so I didn't want to wake you."

As she spoke, he lifted her chin.

Gu Zhong looked closely from below the stage and asked, "Does Madam have something on her mind?"

"..." Actually, it wasn't really a worry, just a feeling of being wronged.

"Is there anything you can't tell your husband?" Gu Chongtai asked with a pained expression. "Tell me who has wronged you!"

Fan Xiaoxiao pouted and stared into his eyes: "A once-in-a-lifetime marriage... and I actually got drunk."

"I can't remember anything! I don't know anything..."

And just like that, she got married.

There's nothing I can do about it, but I still feel like I lost out...

"..." Gu Chongtai was stunned for a while, then suddenly pulled up the quilt and wrapped her and himself up.

"What are you doing?" she asked warily.

The big boss rolled over: "Hmm."

"I think what you said makes sense, so I want you to experience it for yourself."

"Alas???"

"Wait!! It's already dawn."

"Hello!"

"Be gentle."

"OK."

...

...

Madam Fan stood outside the door, carrying water for quite some time.
