She was a child accidentally abandoned in the countryside.
One day she was recognized back home, but it instead became the source of her tragic life.
Familiars deceived and framed her, ...
The dress is made of top-grade Yun brocade, a fabric with exquisite weaving, elegant and luxurious, as beautiful as clouds in the sky. Even a master weaver with decades of experience can only produce 5-6 centimeters a day.
The gold and silver threads are tightly interwoven, with three-dimensional dragon and phoenix patterns on it.
Chen Niannian stroked the exquisite embroidery patterns with her hand, recalling what Cao Yujiao had told her. Cao Yujiao said that the dragon and phoenix gown was "worn once and married once," so when trying on the dragon and phoenix gown, one could not try on the whole set at the same time, but had to try on the upper and lower body separately.
Yue Jiaoyang's outfit is a traditional long gown and mandarin jacket, following the classic design of men's clothing: front opening, high collar, flat sleeves, frog buttons, waist-length, and five button loops on the front. The combination of the long gown and mandarin jacket conforms to the most orthodox style of men's clothing.
Chen Niannian first tried on the top, which fit perfectly. After taking off the top, she tried on the bottom, which also fit perfectly. Of course, this was made to fit her perfectly. Cao Yujiao had been busy for several months to make this outfit.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Chen Niannian felt a little dazed. The past was all gone. In the past, she never dreamed that she would have such a day. In her previous life, when she got married, she rented the cheapest wedding dress to save money.
But... why think about the past? Chen Niannian suddenly patted her head. Those are all things of the past. Now she is living a completely new life. The people and things of her past life are no longer important. She should look forward.
And just like that, the wedding day arrived quickly.
Yue Mingyuan was determined to make the wedding a grand affair, preparing a hundred tables for the banquet alone. Chen Niannian and Yue Jiaoyang were exhausted after going around toasting everyone.
Chen Niannian was alright; no one made things difficult for her. Yue Jiaoyang drank quite a bit of alcohol, and by the end, he was unsteady on his feet.
However, they managed to hold on until the wedding ended, and the two returned to their new home.
The young couple still lived with Yue Mingyuan and his wife. The newlyweds' room was decorated in an antique style. As soon as Yue Jiaoyang entered the new room, he got drunk and collapsed on the bed, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Yue Mingyuan felt sorry for his son, so he had to beg the people who were making a ruckus in the wedding night to let the young couple go. Fortunately, everyone was understanding and left after a few jokes.
After the guests left, Yue Jiaoyang opened his eyes instantly, startling Chen Niannian. Looking at Yue Jiaoyang, her eyes were clear, showing no signs of drunkenness.
"You...?" Chen Niannian asked in surprise.
"I'm not drunk. If I don't pretend to be drunk, I'm afraid I'll scare you if they start making a scene," Yue Jiaoyang said slyly.
"I had no idea you could hold your liquor so well. I used to think you didn't drink at all. You've been hiding it well. I wonder what else you're hiding from me that hasn't been discovered yet," Chen Niannian said coquettishly.
Yue Jiaoyang silently broke out in a cold sweat. He did indeed have something to hide from Chen Niannian, but he didn't intend to reveal it at the moment.
"No way, I don't drink much. We've known each other for so long, how many times have you seen me drink? My alcohol tolerance is all innate..." Yue Jiaoyang became more and more confused as he explained...
Seeing Yue Jiaoyang hurriedly explaining to her, Chen Niannian couldn't help but chuckle.
Yue Jiaoyang was dazzled by Chen Niannian's smile and was momentarily dazed. "Niannian, you are so beautiful."
Today, Chen Niannian was wearing the diamond jewelry set that Yue Jiaoyang had given her, paired with an exquisite and luxurious dragon and phoenix gown. Under the lights, it was dazzling and luxurious, with sparkling pearls that accentuated Chen Niannian's fair and jade-like face, making her even more captivating. It was truly impossible to look away.
"What an idiot," Chen Niannian teased softly.
"Then where do you think I should stay?" Yue Jiaoyang said as he reached out and hugged Chen Niannian.
Chen Niannian's heart skipped a beat, and all she could hear was the pounding of her own heart.
The next morning, despite feeling unwell, Chen Niannian opened her eyes early. It was just past two in the morning when she opened them. She turned her head and glanced at Yue Jiaoyang.
Unexpectedly, Yue Jiaoyang was staring at her with his eyes open.
"You...why did you wake up so early?" Chen Niannian asked softly.
"I'm afraid I'm dreaming, so I dare not close my eyes, for fear that you will disappear when I open them," Yue Jiaoyang said with deep affection.
"Silly girl." Chen Niannian was suddenly moved.
"I'm willing to be a fool for the rest of my life in front of you." After saying that, Yue Jiaoyang hugged Chen Niannian again and buried his head in the crook of her neck.
"Alright, we should get up now," Chen Niannian said gently after a long while.
"Um."
After the young couple got up, they found that Yue Mingyuan and Lin Zhi had also gotten up. Yue Mingyuan was stunned when he saw the two of them.
"Why are you up so early?" Lin Zhi asked in confusion.
āIām used to waking up early,ā Yue Jiaoyang said, and Chen Niannian nodded in agreement.
"Mom and Dad, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Niannian asked obediently, looking at Lin Zhi.
"No, no, wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon," Lin Zhi said, urging the young couple to sit in the living room.
"Okay." After saying that, Yue Jiaoyang led Chen Niannian to sit in the living room.
Watching Yue Jiaoyang and Chen Niannian's retreating figures, Lin Zhi said to Yue Mingyuan with concern, "Do you think they don't understand?"
"Don't understand what?" Yue Mingyuan was a little confused about Lin Zhi's meaning.
"Hey, have you forgotten? Back then, we'd get up before the sun was high in the sky. I told you yesterday to teach Yangyang, but you didn't go. I don't even know if Niannian's mom taught Niannian. Sigh, do you think they even know?" Lin Zhi said anxiously.
"I... how can I ask that?" Yue Mingyuan frowned after hearing Lin Zhi's words, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.
"Forget it, I can't rely on you. I'll go look for the things my mom gave me when I got married." Lin Zhi clapped her hands.
Breakfast was ready by then. Chen Niannian felt very uncomfortable while eating, as she always felt that Lin Zhi and Yue Mingyuan were staring at her. Several times when she looked up, she met her in-laws' ambiguous gazes.
Just as Chen Niannian felt she was being stared at, Yue Jiaoyang felt the same way. He put down his chopsticks and said directly to Yue Mingyuan, "Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?"
It turns out that Yue Jiaoyang also felt that her parents were very strange, always staring at her.
"It's alright, it's alright, let's eat first," Yue Mingyuan said.
And so, in this strange atmosphere, everyone ate breakfast.
After dinner, Yue Jiaoyang and Chen Niannian had nothing to do. Since it was their first day of marriage, neither of them had to go to work. Chen Niannian yawned, and Yue Jiaoyang quickly said, "Why don't we go back and sleep for a while?"
