The eve of the wedding.
Due to the custom that men and women should not meet, Ning Wan was taken back to Ning You's home.
Shen Fu tried to squeeze in through the doorway, but was blocked by both Zhao Jiajia and Song Mengwan.
"Sister Youyou said you and Sister Wanwan can't meet today! Ah Man, just hang in there!"
Zhao Jiajia tried her best to push Shen Fu away, but the guy was just too big.
After trying for ages, it still wouldn't budge.
Shen Fu peered longingly into the room: "I just want to see Wanwan one more time, just one more time..."
"No way!" Ning You declared from inside the room, "Today I'm determined to be the Queen Mother of the West! You mortals can forget about crossing this Milky Way!"
Shen Fu could only turn his pleading gaze to Lu Chen, who had also been kicked out: "Brother-in-law..."
Lu Chen sighed and opened his mouth: "Youyou, I think..."
“I don’t care what you think, I care what I think.” Ning You interrupted him without any politeness: “If you dare to speak up for Shen Fu, you can forget about entering my room for the rest of the week.”
Lu Chen immediately turned around and advised Shen Fu, "I think you should go back... it will be better to wait until tomorrow."
Didn't he go through the same thing when he married Youyou?
Shen Fu remained unmoved, peering intently inside with longing eyes.
Ning Yanshu was short, and he cunningly slipped in through the crack in the door.
Seeing Ning Wan lazily leaning on the sofa applying a face mask, he exaggeratedly exclaimed with a touch of theatricality, "Wow! Mom, you're so beautiful! You look like a fairy from heaven!"
"This dress is so pretty, it looks like a princess's magical dress!"
Ning Wan looked at her white pajamas: "..."
You little rascal, you're capable of blatantly lying...
...
Hearing Ning Yanshu's words, Shen Fu outside the door became even more anxious.
Zhao Jiajia was somewhat unable to stop him.
Song Mengwan, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally put down her melon seeds: "The custom that the newlyweds cannot meet the day before their wedding seems to have been passed down from ancient times. Because in the old days, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words were valued, so meeting the day before the wedding was against etiquette."
Shen Fu's figure stopped abruptly.
"The bride will be ridiculed for being desperate to get married."
Shen Fu abruptly withdrew his hand.
"There's also the unlucky saying that 'meeting before the wedding but not seeing each other afterward.'" Song Meng smiled and said, "But it's the 21st century now, so I believe Mr. Shen doesn't believe in these feudal superstitions."
She stepped aside and made a polite "please" gesture.
But Shen Fu hesitated, "No, no... I'd better not go in..."
Song Mengwan didn't stand on ceremony with him either.
He took Zhao Jiajia's hand and went straight into the house, closing the door behind him.
Ning Wan removed the face mask: "Did Aman go back?"
"I don't know." Song Mengwan plopped down next to her. "Don't worry about him. Put on your face mask and go to bed early. Be a beautiful bride tomorrow!"
Zhao Jiajia said excitedly, "This is my first time being a bridesmaid! I feel like I'll be too excited to sleep tonight!"
"Who can argue with that?"
This was the first time Song Mengwan had ever been a bridesmaid.
I can't wait!
"Alright, you two should go back and rest too. We need to come back early tomorrow to help." Ning You hugged Lu Anning and asked Song Mengwan, "Where are you sleeping tonight?"
"Of course it's my house!~"
Zhao Jiajia grabbed Song Mengwan's arm: "Little Mengmeng, sleep with me tonight, we can save time on commuting tomorrow morning~"
To be able to sleep in the same bed with your idol for one night.
Zhao Jiajia felt like she was dying of happiness!!!
“That works too,” Ning You said. “Then you can help me take this guy out with you.”
Ning Yanshu looked left and right.
I don't understand who "this guy" Ning You is talking about is.
Until everyone's eyes in the room were fixed on him...
...
All personnel were cleared from the area.
After Ning You coaxed Lu Anning to sleep, she pulled Ning Wan aside and chatted under the covers.
The two women shared many secrets that sisters often have to share.
The conversation continued until late into the night before Ning You finally drifted off to sleep.
Seeing this, Ning Wan carefully put on her coat and got up.
She turned on the flashlight on her phone and tiptoed to the living room to open the door.
A figure was huddled in the corner next to the door.
Seeing Shen Fu nodding his head, Ning Wan couldn't help but find it amusing.
She walked over and gently patted his cheek: "Aman, Aman... wake up."
Shen Fu opened his eyes groggily.
The moment he saw Ning Wan, he hurriedly covered his eyes, exclaiming, "Wan, Wanwan, what brings you here?"
“I guessed you would be keeping watch here in the middle of the night, so I came out to look for you.”
Ning Wan tugged at his arm hard, but couldn't budge it: "Why are you covering your eyes?"
"Song Mengwan said that we can't meet the day before the wedding...that's not good..."
Shen Fu's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved, and inexplicably carried a hint of complaining.
They looked so pitiful and heartbroken.
Ning Wan found it even funnier.
“But it’s past midnight now.” She pointed to the time on her phone: “The date has jumped to our wedding day, so it’s okay to meet now.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Fu slowly lowered his hand.
He swallowed hard, his expression serious, and said, "Wanwan, I feel so nervous..."
"What's there to be nervous about?" Ning Wan sat down next to him.
"I'm afraid that when you wake up from your nap, you'll regret marrying me and won't want to marry me anymore; I'm afraid you'll think I'm not good enough and will call off the engagement and not want me anymore..."
Ning Wan poked Shen Fu's forehead, interrupting him: "What nonsense are you talking about? You have so little faith in me?"
"So the reason you've been acting so strangely these past two days is because you're worried about these things?" Ning Wan said, both amused and exasperated. "Aman, you don't have pre-wedding anxiety, do you?"
"I don't know..." Shen Fu said softly, "I just lack confidence in myself..."
“But we’ve already gotten our marriage certificate,” Ning Wan reminded him with a smile. “Our marriage is legally protected.”
Shen Fu paused for a moment, then said dumbly, "Oh, right..."
"...But right now, all of this is as blissful as the happy ending of a fairy tale...I'm afraid that when I wake up from my sleep, all the dreams will be shattered, and the false fairy tale will turn into a terrible reality..."
"So that's why you're afraid to sleep and came here in the middle of the night to keep watch over me?"
Shen Fu nodded.
Ning Wan looked at him with a pang of heartache: "You silly goose..."
She took off her clothes and covered herself and Shen Fu.
She then took his hand, their fingers intertwined: "I'm right here now, hold my hand. Get a good night's sleep, and we'll get married when it's light!"
Shen Fu felt that the word "marriage" sounded especially pleasant coming from Ning Wan's mouth.
He gently rested his head on Ning Wan's shoulder.
With the scent of Ning Wan lingering in his body, he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
