Chapter 197 My hands are for holding my wife

After a while, the baby in her belly calmed down, and Qiao Xu reached out and touched the man's cheek.

"The wedding can be simple, so you don't have to work so hard."

Xu Si'an shook his head: "No, I want to give you the best."

Three days before the wedding, Qiao Xu's mother and uncle's family moved into Xu Si'an's villa.

Xu Si'an suggested that she could marry someone from her small town, but Qiao Xu rejected the idea.

After becoming pregnant, she became lazy and avoided moving around as much as possible.

My biggest daily exercise is walking the dog.

If Xu Si'an finds out one day that he's been lazy and hasn't walked the dog, he'll definitely get a nighttime workout.

According to the customs of Qiao Xu's hometown, they cannot meet the day before the wedding.

At night, Xu Si'an wrapped Qiao Xu in his arms from behind and gently stroked her belly.

"Honey, could you tell Mom that I'm leaving before dawn the day after tomorrow?"

Qiao Xu laughed out loud: "No, wedding customs, do you understand wedding customs?"

The man looked displeased, and his voice sounded aggrieved and pitiful.

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand."

"I only know that I can't sleep without holding you."

Qiao Xu turned around and kissed him: "No, Mom said we can't see each other the day before the wedding."

Xu Si'an was silent for a few seconds: "Wife, if we do this..."

He whispered in Qiao Xu's ear, and Qiao Xu was slightly taken aback: "Aren't you afraid my mother will beat you to death?"

His mouth was immediately covered: "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, that's bad luck."

"Honey, haven't you always wanted to go? I'll take you."

I'm very interested in what Xu Si'an said about Qiao Xu, but... won't she really get beaten up?

"But."

Her soft lips were sealed, and the man whispered seductively, "No buts. I'll be the one to take the beating. Who would dare to hit you?"

"Leave everything to me, I'll take care of the preparations. You just need to come with me obediently."

After a few seconds of internal struggle, Qiao Xu nodded: "Okay."

A wedding only happens once, and she didn't want Xu Si'an to have any regrets.

"Remember to wear the red wedding dress."

Xu Si'an kissed the corner of her lips: "I know."

Hormones are higher during pregnancy, but Qiao Xu is never moody.

Any hint of anger she showed was extinguished by Xu Si'an's silver tongue.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was ambiguous; the kisses deepened, and things spiraled out of control.

The bedside table was pulled open, making a rustling sound.

"Stop messing around, I walked the dog today."

Xu Si'an turned her back and pulled her into his arms: "This is homework for tomorrow night."

Qiao Xu: ······

"I'm walking the dog tomorrow too, so don't be silly."

The man's deep, bubbly voice trailed off: "Wife, how can you bear to see me like this?"

As her breath brushed against her earlobe, Qiao Xu instinctively trembled slightly.

"See, you've thought about it too."

Qiao Xu's ears turned red: "No, I don't want to."

Xu Si'an chuckled and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, it's all Xu Xiao'er's fault if you don't want to. He's the one who wanted to."

Gentle seduction leads to a natural and inevitable outcome.

Qiao Xu was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open as she lay on the chaise lounge watching him change the sheets.

"Xu Si'an, why are you still such a scoundrel?"

After changing the sheets to clean ones, Xu Si'an picked her up and snuggled into the blankets with her.

"Baby, you don't like it?"

"My body language is very honest; my husband loves it, he loves it so much..."

"Shut up." Qiao Xu gave him a playful glare: "Prenatal education."

Xu Si'an kissed her lower abdomen: "I taught her, I just gave her a personal lesson."

Qiao Xu: ...Improper.

The following night, Xu Si'an put Qiao Xu to sleep and then left the villa.

Before leaving, they took two huge suitcases with them.

He didn't sleep all night, secretly keeping busy.

The second day of the eighth lunar month is an auspicious day for marriage.

Qiao Xu was dragged out of bed by her mother early in the morning.

“It’s so late and you’re still sleeping. Xiao An left before 10 o’clock last night.”

Qiao Xu yawned as she was pushed into the bathroom to wash up: "Mom, it's not even dawn yet."

"You need to put on makeup, change clothes, and eat something; you can't miss the auspicious time."

After washing up, Qiao Xu went downstairs, where the makeup artist was already waiting.

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for your hard work.

"Mrs. Xu, happy marriage."

Qiao Xu gave everyone red envelopes, greeted them, and ate breakfast before starting to put on makeup.

According to the Gregorian calendar, Qiao Xu is almost five months pregnant.

The wedding dress was custom-made by Xu Si'an at an exorbitant price, perfectly concealing her pregnant belly.

Qiao Xu was relieved that she had ordered a high-waisted red wedding dress, otherwise she wouldn't be able to fit into it now.

There was no one from the Xu family, so the wedding was grand, but the procedures were surprisingly simple.

The welcoming ceremony and other formalities were cancelled, leaving only the toasting part.

Just as Qiao Xu finished her makeup, an uninvited guest arrived at the villa.

"Qiao Xu, happy marriage."

"Hua Ni?"

"I thought you weren't coming."

When they met again, Hua Ni was no longer dressed in Miao ethnic clothing, but in a forest-style long dress.

Qiao Xu always felt that she was a little different from before.

They smiled more often.

"Come on, we promised we'd meet again when you get married."

Qiao Xu pulled Hua Ni to sit down on the sofa: "How are you doing? Have you been in contact with Xu Shiran?"

“I heard from Xu Si’an that he inquired about your whereabouts.”

Hua Ni chuckled: "We hadn't been in touch, but here I am, making contact now."

The meaning was implied but not explicitly stated, and Qiao Xu understood instantly.

"So, do your family members know that you're already with someone else..."

Hua Ni once said that girls from their Miao region don't marry outside the region.

"I know, that's why I left."

"That······"

Hua Ni interrupted Qiao Xu: "I have my own plans, don't worry, we'll see each other often in the future."

The wedding car arrived at the villa right on time, and firecrackers went off outside.

Xu Nuoan ran in from outside, wearing a pink princess dress.

Following her was Tong Xi, who had given birth less than two months prior.

"Sister-in-law, my brother is here to pick you up."

Xu Si'an entered empty-handed, which displeased Tong Xi: "Brother Si'an, do you know you're getting married today?"

"Where are the flowers? You're not allowing flowers for the wedding procession?"

Xu Si'an took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to the two little girls in front of him.

"My hands are for holding my wife, not for holding flowers."

Xu Si'an walked up to Qiao Xu and leaned down to lightly peck her lips.

"Honey, let's go!"

This is his wedding to Qiao Xu, not a wedding ceremony, but a wedding where everyone can witness their happiness.

The convoy circled downtown Los Angeles before arriving at the wedding venue.

The ground is covered with violets, a dreamy purple tulle, and the pendants are all hand-woven white sheep dolls.

Xu Si'an carried Qiao Xu out of the car, and a salute was fired, filling the sky with red rose petals.

These petals are all real flowers, specially made by Xu Si'an for today's wedding.

On the wedding stage, Qiao Xu's parents, uncle and aunt sat in the main seats, and Xu Si'an knelt down to serve them tea.

Just when everyone thought Xu Si'an would serve tea to Qiao Xu first, he called out to the empty seat next to Qiao's mother, "Dad, please have some tea."

Qiao Xu covered her mouth, trying her best to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

This is the man he fell in love with at first sight.

I love her.

She also loves her family.

After the tea ceremony, before Qiao Xu went to change into her wedding dress, Xu Si'an suggested taking a family photo.

Chang Yi, Xu Nuoan, along with Cherry, Cotton Candy, and Orange were all there.

They also took a picture with the Meng family.

When Xu Si'an took Qiao Xu to change into her wedding dress, he nodded to Si Shen in the audience.

"There will be more later!!!"
