Jianshu had just taken off her makeup and had no time to touch it up when she heard a burst of noise outside the house. Upon listening carefully, she found that Ding Ming, who had been waiting for a long time, had arrived with the wedding party.

This timing is really "good".

Jian Shu held the item in his hand and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Why did you come at this time instead of earlier? Did you do it on purpose?"

If she'd been a few minutes earlier, wouldn't this have happened? Or if she'd been a few minutes later, wouldn't she have already put her makeup back on? This timing is so precise, it almost makes you wonder if they're using surveillance cameras.

Pan Ning was a little panicked when she heard the noise outside. Women dress up to please themselves, and who doesn't want to look beautiful on their wedding day?

But after hearing Jianshu's complaint, she couldn't help laughing again, "You are taking your anger out on others. He doesn't know what happened here, so how could he do it on purpose? It's just a coincidence." It was this coincidence that really made people dislike it.

"This is just too much of a coincidence." Jian Shu also knew that what he said didn't make sense.

But isn't this just anxiety? These days, weddings are simple. There's no such thing as blocking the door to ask for red envelopes or playing games to test the groom and buy them time. Instead, they simply pick up the bride, say goodbye to her parents, and then return to the groom's house for the ceremony.

Listening to the two groups of relatives and friends exchanging pleasantries outside and then a group heading towards Pan Ning's room, Jian Shu suddenly had an idea and pushed Li Li beside him, "Lili, go block the door quickly and don't let them in. Five minutes, just delay them for five minutes."

"Ah? It's blocked? Why is it blocked?" Li Li asked anxiously. She didn't know what to do?

Jian Shu's hands were moving rapidly, his entire mind focused on Pan Ning's face. He had no time to think of any ideas. "Think about it yourself. Play games, answer questions, anything to buy time. Hurry, they're coming. We must stop them at the door."

After saying that, he looked up and gave her an encouraging look, "Come on, Lily, I believe you can do it." Then he continued to get busy.

Li Li felt bitter in her heart. You believe in me, but I don’t believe in myself!

Oh my God, why don’t I know how to put on makeup? If I knew how to put on makeup, then Shushu could be the one to block the door!

Li Li's mind was racing, but she didn't stop and walked quickly towards the door.

There is no other way. She is the only one left. She has to go even if she doesn’t want to. She has to do it even if she can’t!

Besides, this whole thing was her fault. If she had known earlier, why would she have been so clever? Li Li regretted it so much.

He walked quickly to the door, opened it, and met Ding Ming, who was smiling with his teeth showing.

"Comrade Li, I'm here to pick up Ningning. She must be inside." Ding Ming nodded and greeted Li Li, then smiled even more happily and turned sideways to walk past her.

"Oh, no—" Li Li quickly stretched out her arms to block the door tightly upon seeing this, and then closed the door while everyone was puzzled.

"Comrade Li?" Ding Ming looked at her in confusion, and everyone including Pan's parents, siblings, relatives and friends also looked puzzled.

"Ningning is my best friend. It's really too easy for you to marry her so easily. They say that things that come too easily will not be cherished well. I think this makes sense." Li Li's face was calm, but she was trying hard to think of the words in her mind. She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her back.

Five minutes, she must hold on for five minutes.

"Comrade Li, don't worry. I will definitely treat Ningning well and cherish her." Ding Ming thought she was worried and promised her sincerely. In his heart, he was happy for Pan Ning to have such a friend, and he didn't feel unhappy at all.

Li Li cried out in her heart: Brother, I know you are sincere, but there is nothing I can do.

What should I do next? A test, how? Li Li was panicking. She couldn't help but glance at the crowd. When she met Pan An's gaze, two words filled her eyes—Help!

Pan An in the crowd frowned, looked at the tightly closed door, then looked at Li Li who was blocking the door and refusing to let anyone in. Then he thought about how Pan Ning inside the door could definitely hear everything at such a close distance, but he remained silent, which clearly indicated that he approved of Li Li's actions.

It seems that everything was discussed among them.

Something happened!

Pan An's eyes flashed, and he walked across the crowd to Li Li's side. He raised his head and looked at Ding Ming, "Mingzi, I believe that what you say now is sincere."

"Thank you, sister!" Ding Ming said with gratitude.

Woo woo woo, sister, you are my dear sister, my best sister!

But the next second, his sister made a sudden change. "But what Lily said makes sense. Things that come too easily aren't worth cherishing. Of course, it's not that I don't believe you, but I think for Ningning, you shouldn't mind accepting a little test to show your determination, right?"

"Ah?" Ding Ming opened his mouth wide and was stunned.

Is there still this process for marriage? Sister, are you still my sister?

Li Li took advantage of the fact that no one's attention was on her, and quietly made a gesture and swayed behind her.

Pan An ignored his aggrieved look and saw Li Li's gesture from the corner of his eye. Five? Five minutes or longer?

While speculating in his heart, he continued, "Our Pan family's daughter has been spoiled by her parents since she was young. I can't say she was held in the palm of her hand, but she has never suffered any major grievances since she was a child. If she gets married, the whole family will definitely be reluctant to let her go."

"Sister, don't worry. After Ningning marries me, I will never let her suffer any grievances. She will remain the same as she is at home." Ding Ming patted his chest and promised.

Pan An patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I believe you. I am very relieved that Ningning will marry you. So you agree to accept the test, right?"

"Yeah! Yeah?" Ding Ming was very happy to be coaxed. He nodded with a silly smile, and finally realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Why, you don't want to? Marrying the daughter of our Pan family is a necessary procedure. When your brother-in-law married me, he also went through the same test." Pan An raised his eyebrows and looked at him scrutinizingly.

Pan's brother-in-law: Huh? Is that true? Why don't I remember it?

Everyone in the Pan family: Do we have this rule? No?

Feeling Pan An's gentle yet threatening gaze, Brother-in-law Pan shuddered all over, his mind instantly cleared up, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, that's right, I went through the same thing back then. I had to go through many trials and tribulations before I could marry your sister home."

Pan's mother was not stupid. Although she didn't know what had happened, she followed her daughter's words and said, "That's right. Marrying my daughter requires a test. It can't be too easy."

An An knows her limits and wouldn't cause such trouble on purpose.

Whether there was such a rule before or not, it will exist in the future.

——Anyway, she doesn’t have any daughter to marry off.

Ha ha!
