Hu Peizhen tugged at her dress; if it were really too revealing, she wouldn't dare wear it.

Hearing the knock, she opened the door a little shyly and saw her husband in a handsome suit. She smiled at him.

Hu Peizhen is sweet and beautiful, and wearing a pure white wedding dress makes her even more radiant.

Ping An strode up to Hu Peizhen and hugged her tightly. "Wife, this dress really suits you perfectly. Sister Annie has great taste."

"Really?"

"Yes, in my eyes, you are the most beautiful."

Hu Peizhen was truly happy to be praised by her husband.

"Come on, let's go show Mom and Auntie." The two walked out of the room hand in hand.

The skirt wasn't a long one; it only reached her ankles. But Hu Peizhen cherished it and still lifted it up.

Liu Xu smiled when she saw the couple come in, "You two are such a perfect match, this outfit really enhances your look."

"Hmm, it's pretty good." Er Ya looks quite pretty too, at least much better than the wedding dress in their wedding photos.

"There's another evening gown, would you like to try it on?"

The two went back into the room, and Christmas Eve squeezed in, saying, "Let's change together, I can help you."

"No need, I can do it myself."

"Don't be shy, hurry up, Mom and Aunt are still waiting."

Ping An took out the evening gown and glanced at it. Something seemed off about the dress, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong with it.

Hu Peizhen picked up Ping An's formal attire and handed it to him, saying, "Go to the study to change."

Seeing his wife's determined gaze, Ping An still took the clothes and went out.

They're husband and wife now, what's there to be embarrassed about?

After changing into the dress, Hu Peizhen felt she couldn't wear it out. The front was fine, especially since it had long sleeves, but the back was completely exposed. She felt extremely uncomfortable, particularly since she was wearing underwear underneath, which made her feel inappropriate.

I had no choice but to take it off, and then take off my bra. I put it back on like this, but it felt empty in the back, and I got goosebumps.

Ping An pushed open the door and came in. Seeing his wife's red dress with gold thread, he felt that it better accentuated her beautiful temperament.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Hu Peizhen shook her head and looked in the mirror. "It looks pretty, but I feel like I wouldn't wear it out in public."

"How could that be? I think it looks especially beautiful. White represents purity, while red makes it seem passionate and unrestrained."

Ping An walked in and saw his wife backing away.

"What's wrong?"

Having no other choice, Hu Peizhen had to bite the bullet and turn around, saying, "This is behind me."

Ping An looked at the bare back and immediately got aroused. The back was low-cut, and the bottom went down to just below the waist, making the back look particularly tempting.

He didn't say anything, but bent down and kissed his wife's back.

Hu Peizhen immediately tensed her body, trying to turn around, but was held in place.

"Let me go, Mom and Aunt are still waiting outside."

He stopped safely, and knowing it was inappropriate, he regretfully let go of his wife.

"Ping An, I can't get out like this."

"It's okay, you don't need to show it to Mom and Auntie. You can wear it for me from now on."

"Then go and tell your mother that I've changed into a Chinese-style dress."

"Do you know how to wear this dress? Can you help me?"

"No need, I can manage on my own." He then handed the Chinese-style men's suit to Ping An.

This is a bright red dress with four layers inside and out. When Hu Peizhen put it on, she thought that even in this kind of weather, the dress would not make her cold.

After getting dressed, he left the room, where Ping An was waiting.

"Honey, I think you look good in everything you wear?"

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you? Come on, let's let Mom and Auntie go and take a look."

Er Ya, Liu Xu, and Li Cuihua were even more satisfied with the dress.

"Xiao Zhen, are you wearing this to the wedding ceremony?"

"Mom, I'll listen to you. I also think this outfit is comfortable to wear. It won't make me feel cold either."

"Hmm, Ping An's outfit is quite nice too. Ping An is a scholarly type of man, and wearing ancient costume makes that even more obvious," Liu Xu praised with a smile.

"Okay, I'm glad you both like it. The designer will take your measurements this afternoon and make a few more dresses. Let's go eat. After you two finish eating, go home and make a few clothes for the elders as well." Er Ya instructed them before going to the kitchen.

The meal was ready. Cheng Guangxu saw his wife enter the room and came out of the study to help carry the food to the dining room.

After dinner, Ping An saw that it was still early, so he pulled Hu Peizhen back to the room, and the two snuggled together on the bed to rest for a while.

The two returned to the Hu family home at 2 PM. The designers were already there; they all recognized Ping An, as he and Pengfei had worked at the clothing company for a while. They congratulated Ping An extensively and worked until the evening.

After Suga Akemi prepared dinner, the two ate together and then left together.

Suga Akemi sighed. This was someone else's person now. Although they had already registered their marriage, they hadn't had a wedding ceremony yet. Living together like this still felt inappropriate.

But since the two children are willing, we can't be too strict with them.

On Monday morning, Ping An drove his wife directly to school, as Jiaotong University is indeed not far from their residence.

In the future, even taking the bus won't take too long.

During lunch, Ping An said to Zhang Weiyu, "Third Brother, the dress that Sister Annie sent over is really beautiful. My wife tried it on yesterday, and she has great taste."

"My sister has really high standards of taste. It's been a long time since she called me. I wonder what she's been up to."

I called home and said I was going on a trip, but they didn't believe me. I just couldn't get in touch with her.

"Sis is so good to you, I'll definitely call you when I have time."

"Yes, that should be the case, but I haven't heard from her for over a year. Could she be avoiding us?"

"Third brother, why would my sister hide from you? You're overthinking it."

"How can we not overthink it? She even sent you a gift for your wedding, which means she wasn't busy, she just didn't want to contact us."

"Third brother, I think you're overthinking it. There's a time difference, and my sister is probably worried about bothering her sisters-in-law or the children. She'll definitely call you if anything happens."

"I hope so. I just feel like my sister is distancing herself from me. I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Cheng Guangxu called the research institute and asked for another week off. Although they weren't going back to their hometown for the wedding, he couldn't leave his wife to handle everything here alone.

On Friday afternoon, Ping An deliberately left work early to pick up his wife from school.

Have you taken your vacation leave yet?

"Yes, I took two weeks off."
