The whole family, more than a dozen people, came to celebrate Shen Yulan and He Haowen's marriage; there weren't enough seats at one table.

Zhang Guizhi prepared three tables of food in the courtyard.

The happiest and most excited person was Shen Honggang.

"Yulan, Haowen, your mother and I checked the almanac, and today, the fifth day of the third month, is an auspicious day. You two should get ready, we're going to have a wedding banquet!"

Shen Yulan said, "Dad, this is fine. We don't need a wedding banquet or anything extravagant; it costs a lot of money!"

Shen Honggang patted his wallet and said, "Let's do it! My daughter's getting married, how can we not have a wedding banquet! It has to be as lively as possible!"

He Haowen quickly offered, "I'll pay for the wedding banquet."

This is his wedding, he can't let his wife's family pay for it, it wouldn't look right if word got out.

Shen Yuqin chuckled and said, "Big sister, I think you're just reluctant to let your brother-in-law spend money!"

She is now eight months pregnant, and Zhang Changxing stays by her side wherever she goes.

"Big sister, the wedding banquet must be held. When Changxing and I got married, we had two banquets in our hometown. We are both Dad's daughters, and I can't let you be missing out on what I have!"

Zhang Guizhi smiled and said, "Money is a small matter. We can discuss it and figure it out. The main thing is that such a happy occasion is one that all our relatives and friends should come and celebrate."

With her family unanimously agreeing to hold the wedding, Shen Yulan couldn't refuse and agreed.

He Haowen insisted on paying, but Shen Honggang knew that He Haowen's family situation was special, his parents had died early, and he had only been working for a few years and didn't have much money. So he only asked him to pay for cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and candy as a token of his appreciation.

He didn't care about the bride price when he married off his daughter; what he cared about was that he genuinely loved her.

He Haowen is a son-in-law he is very satisfied with. Even if others say that he is paying money to marry off his daughter, he doesn't care.

As long as my daughter is happy, what does it matter if I spend a little money?

The wedding arrangements were finalized, and the whole family enjoyed a lively meal together.

Xu Honglin suddenly said, "When Xiao Gu married my daughter, they just got their marriage certificate and that was it. Now Rui Rui is over a year old, and he hasn't mentioned a wedding at all!"

Qiao Suxin said, "Gu and Jingya were in school for those few years, so it's normal that they didn't have a wedding! We can have one later!"

Whenever Gu Zhiyun is mentioned, Shen Jingyan feels a sense of decline.

Gu Zhiyun missed so much during the months he was gone.

At Rui Rui's birthday party, his father was unaware that Rui Rui had picked up a satellite model during the traditional Chinese baby-themed "grasping ceremony."

She quickly stepped forward and put her arm around He Haowen's waist, saying gently, "It's all my fault, I didn't react in time. Come on, let's go home!"

He Haowen then put away his aggrieved expression and happily picked up Shen Yulan's large suitcase.

When the two returned to their dormitory, it was already dark.

Although He Haowen's dormitory is small, it is enough for two people.

He Haowen had already made plans. He couldn't let Shen Yulan live in such a small dormitory forever. Once the semester started, he would report to the school.

Teachers who are married will be allocated an apartment by the school, which is about 60 square meters in size.

Although it's not large, having two bedrooms and a living room is quite a good condition in this day and age.

Upon entering the house with the lights on, a festive bright red color immediately catches the eye.

The bed was covered with bright red sheets symbolizing a long and happy marriage. Large red "double happiness" characters were pasted on the windows and doors. On the table were a plate of red dates, a plate of longans, and a plate of peanuts. Even the plates on which the fruits were served were red.

In the bathroom, bright red towels were hanging, and even the toothbrush cup was decorated with red "double happiness" characters.

"You prepared all of this?" Shen Yulan was both surprised and touched.

"Of course, I got up very early today to set it up."

How can we not have a little ceremony on the first day after getting our marriage certificate?

Looking into He Haowen's affectionate eyes, Shen Yulan was completely immersed in happiness and joy.

She stood on tiptoe, hugged He Haowen's neck, and kissed him on the lips.

She no longer knew how to express her joy.

A kiss ignited He Haowen's passion. He grabbed Shen Yulan's slender waist and carried her to the bed.

Shen Yulan was both nervous and shy, and for a moment she was at a loss for what to do.

The red bedding rippled with crimson waves as Shen Yulan was pinned down on the bed by He Haowen, her heart pounding like a drum.

She didn't even dare to look at He Haowen's handsome face, instinctively grabbing his shoulders and listening to his increasingly heavy breathing.

One by one, the two removed their clothes, and the atmosphere in the small dormitory grew increasingly ambiguous.

When they were completely naked together, Shen Yulan dared not open her eyes. Under He Haowen's kisses and comforting words, her body became softer and hotter.

He Haowen's movements were a little clumsy, but extremely gentle.

Hearing Shen Yulan let out a soft cry of pain, he quickly stopped and asked anxiously:

Did I hurt you?

With tears welling in her eyes, Shen Yulan shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

What's a little pain?

He Haowen's movements became even gentler, but he still couldn't get what he wanted, as if something was blocking his way.

Shen Yulan, on the other hand, frowned, bit her red lips, and had fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

He Haowen sensed that something was wrong.

He got up and saw a dark bloodstain on the bed sheet.

He was utterly shocked.

Although he knew he shouldn't ask about Shen Yulan's past on their wedding night, the scene before him was just too bizarre.

"Yulan, weren't you...married before?"
