After this back-and-forth, Shi Lan's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were glazed over. Naturally, she would agree to whatever Ning Yuze said.

Ning Yuze picked up Shi Lan with satisfaction and carried her back to her room.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he eagerly summoned the butler and asked him to prepare for the wedding ceremony.

The butler immediately became anxious upon hearing this.

The next head of the Ning family is getting married—this is such a big deal! How can the young master treat it like a child's play?

The housekeeper pleaded with him to give him two days off. Firstly, tomorrow was the weekend and the marriage registration office would be closed. Secondly, he needed time to prepare the wedding banquet, entertain the guests, inform the old man and other relatives of the Ning family, and prepare the bride and groom's attire, among other complicated matters.

Ning Yuze was very reluctant, but he knew this was the butler's limit, so he could only reluctantly agree.

The next morning, Shi Lan had just come downstairs when she was stunned by a series of congratulatory messages.

The butler came over with a cheerful expression, followed by a long line of men and women, some in sharp suits and others in fashionable clothes.

The butler had obviously already greeted the visitors, and the group took out many picture books, all of which were pictures of ancient wedding attire.

Shi Lan was instantly engulfed in a sea of ​​red.

It was two hours later when she finally managed to struggle out.

She ran back upstairs in a disheveled state and angrily pushed open the study door.

Hearing the noise, Ning Yuze looked up and gave her a gentle smile. "Good morning."

Sunlight slanted in from behind him, the soft halo blurring his features, leaving only a faint smile.

Shi Lan suddenly paused, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears.

She had only ever seen such a smile on someone as cool and aloof as water, as serene as a green cypress.

Ever since that time she acted willfully, she... hasn't come over for a long time.

Shi Lan gripped the doorknob tightly for a while before she finally composed herself and smiled.

"morning."

Ning Yuze stood up, opened his arms, and walked towards Shi Lan.

Shi Lan pouted and went to meet him.

That's settled then. Since he adheres to etiquette and insists on having a formal title before engaging in intimate acts, then I'll be his bride.
