Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning drove themselves to get their marriage certificate. They were the first two to arrive, so they were also the first couple to get their marriage certificate.
As soon as he received the marriage certificate, Mu Jingheng excitedly held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, as if he could see the patterns in it.
Xu Xinning was also curious about the marriage certificate, which looked like an award certificate. It wasn't as tall as Mu Jingheng, and besides, he was protecting it like a hawk. Xu Xinning couldn't even see it when she stood on tiptoe.
Xu Xinning tugged at Mu Jingheng's cufflinks with a pitiful expression and said, "Let me see."
Mu Jingheng chuckled and glanced at Xu Xinning, saying, "Wife!"
Xu Xinning blinked as she looked at Mu Jingheng.
Mu Jingheng called out affectionately again, "Wife!"
Xu Xinning felt a little uncomfortable, and her face turned red.
As if encouraged, Mu Jingheng called out again, "Wife!"
Mu Jingheng's voice was very loud, and Xu Xinning, afraid of being overheard, looked around embarrassedly.
Mu Jingheng seemed to be teasing Xu Xinning, grinning and then calling out, "Wife!"
Xu Xinning realized that this was clearly intentional.
Seeing that Xu Xinning's neck was red, Mu Jingheng gently took her hand and looked into her eyes with deep affection, saying, "Wife, I've finally married you. Wife, pinch me, am I dreaming?"
Xu Xinning didn't hold back and pinched his waist hard. Mu Jingheng hissed in pain and said angrily, "Wife, I'm your husband. Are you trying to murder your husband?"
Xu Xinning rolled her eyes. Wasn't this his own request?
Besides, it's freezing cold, and we're all wearing thick clothes, so how much pain could it possibly cause?
Seeing that Xu Xinning hadn't taken the bait, Mu Jingheng leaned closer and said with a grin, "Wife, from today onwards I'm your licensed husband. Come on, call me 'husband' and let me hear it."
Xu Xinning stormed off in a huff, humiliated and angry. She had seen people looking in their direction; how could she be so shameless?
Mu Jingheng quickly followed, calling out, "Wife, wife, wait for me! Wife, why are you running so fast?"
Xu Xinning suddenly felt that the words "wife" were like a demonic sound, constantly echoing in her ears.
But Mu Jingheng seemed to be bewitched, as if he wanted to make up for all the wives he hadn't called in his previous life.
With his long legs, he reached Xu Xinning's side in just a few steps: "Wife, let's go take some photos. They have to be better than what Uncle and the others took. Look at how smug he is, acting like everyone else has never been married."
Xu Xinning had thought about this before. She also wanted a beautiful photo. She didn't want to take a half-body photo of herself like her uncle and aunt. She wanted a different effect, but she didn't know how to take the best one.
Mu Jingheng was reborn. He had seen wedding photos from later generations. As soon as Xu Xinning mentioned it, he wanted to take photos like that. It was a pity that there were no color photos or wedding dresses in this era. Otherwise, with their good looks, the photos would definitely have turned out great.
Although the conditions are insufficient, there are always more solutions than problems.
Upon arriving at the photo studio, Mu Jingheng and the photographer chatted away, gesturing and talking, until they finally took their first photo.
The photographer thought the results were good and that it was a novel experience, so he suggested they take more pictures.
Mu Jingheng was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
The two took five photos: three together and two alone.
As the two were leaving the photo studio, they were suddenly stopped by someone.
"Young man from the Mu family, young comrade, I really didn't expect to run into you here. Otherwise, we would have had to go through a lot of trouble to find you."
The visitor was an unexpected person—the sickly daughter-in-law of the second branch of the Wu family.
Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng were both startled when they saw her.
"Why are you here?" Xu Xinning blurted out.
"Me? I heard you two are getting married today, so I sneaked out," Wu's second daughter-in-law whispered.
Fearing that Wu's second daughter-in-law couldn't handle it, Xu Xinning quickly asked her to extend her hand so she could take her pulse.
What Xu Xinning didn't expect was that Wu's second son's wife had been in much better health recently, only a little weaker than normal.
Xu Xinning gave Wu's second son's wife a strange look.
Wu's second son's wife didn't mind, smiled gently, and asked in a soft tone, "Little doctor, am I recovering well?"
Seeing that Xu Xinning didn't reply, she continued, "I was lucky to meet a good doctor. After taking the medicine for a while, my body felt much better. This doctor's medicine is truly miraculous. I never had any hope before, but I never thought that one day my body would feel so comfortable."
Xu Xinning knew that the doctor she was talking about was herself. Although she had never treated her, she was certain that she had taken her medicine, and she didn't know how she obtained it.
Perhaps it was given by Mu Zhenting, or perhaps by Old Master Mu, since the Mu family and the Wu family have always had a good relationship!
Xu Xinning never expected that the second daughter-in-law of the Wu family would come to her and Mu Jingheng's wedding. Although she had some doubts, guests are guests, and they had no reason not to welcome them.
As soon as Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng's car stopped, people started throwing confetti.
Surrounded by the crowd, the two entered the courtyard.
Wu's second son's wife immediately followed.
When Chen Jianguo saw that Wu's second daughter-in-law was also getting out of the car, and since she was a stranger, he was afraid that she didn't know the situation, so he stepped forward and asked, "Are you here to attend my sister and brother-in-law's wedding?"
Wu's second daughter-in-law was stunned for a long time after seeing Chen Jianguo before finally replying, "I am the groom's aunt. I came all the way from Kyoto to attend their wedding."
Chen Jianguo smiled broadly and quickly said, "Several relatives and friends have come from Kyoto. I'll take you to their place."
Wu's second daughter-in-law smiled and unconsciously reached out to stroke Chen Jianguo's head.
Chen Jianguo had grown to be about the same height as Wu's second son's wife. He was initially very excited when a woman stroked his head, because his mother often stroked his head like that when she was at home.
Chen Jianguo paused for a moment. He hadn't thought about his mother for a long time. What was wrong with him today? Why did seeing a stranger remind him of his mother?
Chen Jianguo told Wu's second daughter-in-law to walk in front.
Looking at her back, Chen Jianguo felt that she resembled his mother somewhat, but his mother was much more upright.
When Grandma Chen saw this, she called out to Chen Jianguo, "Jianguo, who is this?"
Chen Jianguo: "Grandma, these are my sister and brother-in-law's relatives from Kyoto."
Grandma Chen: "Oh! Relatives from Kyoto? Come, come, please come in!"
Mu Zhenting was stunned when he saw Wu's second son's wife. He never expected that she would come to his son's wedding.
