Around 5 p.m., Gu Sinian and Su Ying appeared at the educated youth settlement.

Gu Sinian regretted that he hadn't controlled himself and had been too harsh on her. He held her shoulders and said softly.

Are you alright? Are you still feeling unwell?

Su Ying really wanted to punch this bastard. Sure enough, you can't take a man's words seriously when he's sober. He said he'd be gentler next time, but he was still so ruthless.

She begged for mercy many times in bed, but the man ignored her, seemingly choosing to be selectively deaf. It was unclear whether he genuinely didn't hear her or was simply too engrossed in the moment…

She pinched Gu Sinian's waist hard and said through gritted teeth, "What do you think? You always say you'll be gentler next time, but I don't believe your nonsense. I bet you'll treat me just as roughly next time."

Having been exposed, Gu Sinian coughed awkwardly and pulled the person into his arms to comfort them.

"It's because you're so delicious that I can't stop eating you."

Su Ying kicked him hard, broke free from Gu Sinian's embrace, and said angrily, "Weren't we going to announce the good news? Hurry up and unload the wedding candy from the oxcart. How will people know we're married if we don't hand out some candy?"

Gu Sinian slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten something so important. His focus was entirely on Su Ying, constantly monitoring her health.

He needs to tone it down a bit next time, or the little girl will definitely get angry with him. But he doesn't know what's wrong with him; he just doesn't act like himself when he's around Su Ying.

Even his usually strong self-control crumbled in her presence; the girl was so beautiful that he couldn't help but want her every time he looked at her.

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

Gu Sinian jogged over to the oxcart, picked up the things they had taken out of their spatial storage to distribute, and obediently stood next to Su Ying.

Her obedient demeanor was astonishing. "Don't be angry with me anymore. I promise I'll be gentler next time and I definitely won't hurt you again."

Su Ying rolled her eyes and snorted, "Commander Gu's guarantee is worthless to me. You'd better save your words for when you talk to your parents later."

"After all, you got married to me without informing them, so Ms. Li Yaxian won't let you off easily."

Gu Sinian didn't care. He didn't have much of a relationship with Ms. Li Yaxian anyway, so why would he need to explain himself?

Isn't it good that they're living peacefully together like this?

Why create so much trouble? It's completely unnecessary.

During the time he disappeared at the age of nine and was taken away by human traffickers, she was able to become pregnant with three children, but his position was replaceable.

I've long since lost all maternal affection for her, so why bother pretending?

She liked Qiao Xiyan and tried every means to make him marry her, never caring about his true feelings.

"Don't worry about her. From now on, just follow my lead in how I treat her, understand?"

Su Ying nodded. She wasn't the type to passively accept things as they were. If others didn't like her, why should she bother trying to please them and make herself suffer?

"I understand. Don't scold me for not respecting my elders later."

She's not that kind of person at all.

She was pampered and loved growing up, and no one in her family wanted her to suffer even the slightest hardship. She wasn't going to get married to be a submissive wife.

"No. You're not that kind of person. I know Ms. Li Yaxian better than you do."

Su Ying nodded, "That's good. Let's go in and hand out wedding candies."

"good."

This suited him perfectly. Don't think he hadn't heard the rumors; several men in the educated youth settlement were eyeing his young wife.

Today he's here to assert his dominance and show those clueless youngsters who Su Ying's man truly is.

This would also dispel those young lads' ideas and prevent them from setting their sights on his young wife.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard of the educated youth settlement, everyone turned to look at them, utterly astonished that they were getting married that day.

Sun Xuelin single-handedly spread the news of the two getting their marriage certificate everywhere.

Everyone knows about the two of them.

The moment Tang Ling saw Su Ying, she jumped right up to her, grabbed her hand, and whispered, "I heard you went to get your marriage certificate with Comrade Gu today, is that true?"

"Could it be that Comrade Sun is lying to us? We've never heard of you being close to Comrade Gu before, not even a whisper of rumors. How could you suddenly get married like this?"

Su Ying didn't know how to explain her relationship with Gu Sinian. "It's a long story, I'll tell you another time."

Su Ying turned around and placed the White Rabbit milk candy, melon seeds, and wedding cakes from Gu Sinian's hands into Tang Ling's hands.

"These are wedding candies. Please distribute them to everyone later. I still need to go to the Gu family's house later."

"Are you coming back tonight?"

Is Tang Ling possessed? Why is she talking so strangely?

“Where can I go if I don’t come back? The big brick house isn’t finished yet, so I’ll have to stay at the educated youth settlement for about a month.”

Tang Ling winked at Su Ying, her gaze darting back and forth between Su Ying and Gu Sinian. "Strictly speaking, today is your wedding night. Are you going to leave the groom alone in the room? Isn't it normal for you to live together after getting your marriage certificate?"

Su Ying frowned. How could Gu Sinian be considered to have been left alone in his room? Their wedding night had already passed when they returned to Willow Tree Village. How could it be considered that the groom had been left alone in his room?

She felt no pressure at all about going back to the educated youth settlement to sleep. Her back was still very sore, all because of this hateful groom in front of her.

They've already eaten and drunk their fill, so who cares where she sleeps tonight?

"Stop gossiping and hurry up and hand out wedding candy so everyone can share in the joy."
