The next day, Yun Qing was unable to get up on time.

She's always been an early riser, and this is the first time she's ever been in bed like this.

Looking at Xiao Chongye massaging her, she was immediately furious and pinched his waist hard.

"It's all your fault, you made me unable to serve tea to my uncle and aunt on time."

"It's my fault, it's my fault." The man, looking completely satisfied, smiled apologetically, afraid that the woman in bed might upset him.

After last night, he has completely transformed into a devoted husband, willing to listen to his wife on everything except in bed.

However, he also had some regrets. Before marrying Yun Qing, he scoffed at what others called the greatest pleasure in the world. Could that kind of thing between a man and a woman be more pleasurable than making money?

But after actually trying it with the person he loved, he realized that those people hadn't lied to him.

However, Xiao Chongye was too confident in his own judgment, which caused him to waste a lot of happy time.

Yun Qing is already twenty years old this year, which is considered late for marriage in this era. If it weren't for that vague marriage contract, she would probably have gotten married long ago.

They've been together day and night for the past few years, but neither of them has come to their senses; otherwise, this marriage would probably have happened two years ago.

But it doesn't matter, they have a long life ahead of them.

The two bickered and argued, then tidied themselves up and left the yard.

In the main courtyard, Xiao Hua's expression was rather unpleasant: "Why hasn't the eldest brother gotten up yet?"

Madam Xiao, holding a handkerchief, gently advised, "Oh dear, it's the first day of your marriage, it's understandable that you can't get up. This is actually a good thing, maybe we'll have a grandson next year."

When his grandson was mentioned, Xiao Hua's previously dark expression softened somewhat: "I hope so."

Then, his gaze shifted to Xiao Chong'an, who was standing to the side acting as a wooden stake: "Second brother, now that your eldest brother is married, the engagement that was causing you so much worry is no longer valid. Shouldn't you also start thinking about your life's important matters?"

Xiao Chong'an's heart tightened when he was called out. Was this a major life event? After what happened yesterday, he had no mood to think about such things. The person he fell in love with at first sight turned out to be his fiancée whom he had never met, and now she was even his sister-in-law in name.

How could he accept this? If Yun Qing were just someone he liked, perhaps he wouldn't be so heartbroken. But she happened to be the fiancée he used to avoid like the plague.

If you've never had something, it might not be so regrettable, but the most painful thing in life is to have had it and then watch it slip away.

Last night, the first thing he did after waking up was to rush to the new house. However, it was too late. The sounds of lovemaking coming from inside froze him in place.

It felt as if his chest had been ripped open, leaving a gaping hole. The chilling night wind rushed in, making him feel cold inside.

He tried to convince himself that she was just a woman he had only met once, so why should he let himself be reduced to such a pathetic state?

But matters of the heart are beyond one's control, and his heart was set on Yun Qing.

At this moment, upon hearing his father's question, Xiao Chong'an suddenly felt an urge to tell the whole story: how his elder brother had schemed against him, his feelings for Yun Qing, and so on.
