Chapter 58 Wedding Night
Neither of them had much of an appetite for the dinner.
Zhou Mingshi led Lin Yi'an around the banquet hall. After the banquet ended, they returned to their bridal chamber in the old house.
On the way back, Zhou Mingshi instructed the kitchen to prepare seafood porridge for them. After arriving home, each person ate a bowl of seafood porridge and then went back to their room.
Sitting on the wedding bed, the two looked at each other. Lin Yi'an stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Zhou Mingshi smiled, took her hand, and asked in a low voice, "Nervous?"
Lin Yi-an: "This is your first time getting married, and it's my first time too."
Zhou Mingshi: "So I'm nervous. Are you nervous too?"
Lin Yi'an thought for a moment and decided to tell him, "It's not that I'm nervous, it's just that I sleep in a bad position..."
When she was little, her grandma and mom often complained about her, saying that she seemed like a quiet girl, but how come her sleeping posture was so bad? There wasn't even enough room for her to roll around on the bed.
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't sleep well either."
Lin Yi'an: "...That's all, I'm going to take a shower."
After she went into the bathroom, Zhou Mingshi also went to the bathroom in the room next door.
Lin Yi'an came out of the bathroom, where Zhou Mingshi had already showered and was sitting on the sofa waiting for her. Seeing her come out, he asked softly, "Do you need me to blow-dry your hair?"
Lin Yi-an: "I just dried my hair in the bathroom."
Zhou Mingshi got up, walked to her side, and took her hand: "Want to go to bed?"
Lin Yi'an hummed in agreement.
Lying in bed, Zhou Mingshi turned to look at her, and Lin Yi'an met his gaze: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Mingshi's voice was somewhat low: "Look at my bride."
Lin Yi'an: "Then...then you see."
Zhou Mingshi chuckled and pulled her into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Are you ready?"
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
As soon as she finished speaking, his lips covered hers. Compared to his previous kisses, there was less restraint and more indulgence, letting himself sink into depravity.
Tonight is their wedding night, so there's really no need for them to continue to restrain themselves.
Clothes were thrown onto the bed one by one...
The first time was a little awkward, and Lin Yi'an only felt a little pain before it was over.
Zhou Mingshi was covered in sweat and seemed somewhat incredulous. He hugged her tightly and asked dejectedly, "Should we try again?"
Lin Yi'an noticed his frustration and comforted him, "They say it's like this for a guy's first time..."
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Zhou Mingshi asked, "How are you?"
Lin Yi-an: "I'm fine."
Zhou Mingshi: "Try again?"
Lin Yi'an nodded.
Zhou Mingshi pressed her down on the pillow and kissed her lips...
After an unknown amount of time, the two stopped to rest. Lin Yi'an was covered in sweat and was held tightly in his arms.
After hugging for a while, Lin Yi'an pushed him away, saying, "I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I'm going to take a shower."
Zhou Mingshi then released her, then pulled her into his arms again: "Shall we go together?"
Lin Yi-an: "I'll go by myself."
Zhou Mingshi chuckled, not forcing her, and watched her enter the bathroom. He glanced at the stains on the sheets, his gaze lingered, and after a few seconds, he picked up the bathrobe beside the bed, casually put it on, and got out of bed to change the sheets.
When Lin Yi'an came out after taking a shower, she saw him clumsily changing the sheets and went over to help him.
After changing the sheets, Zhou Mingshi took out a new quilt before going into the bathroom.
Lin Yi'an lay in bed, and moving around was fine; she didn't feel too uncomfortable.
Zhou Mingshi came out quickly, and seeing that she was still awake, he lay down beside her and pulled her into his arms.
Lin Yi'an didn't struggle. Although she wasn't too uncomfortable, she was quite tired and fell asleep in his arms.
Zhou Mingshi saw that she had fallen asleep, turned off the light, and closed his eyes.
...
"Let's get a divorce."
In her hazy state, Lin Yi'an heard Zhou Mingshi's voice and frowned.
They just got married today and are already getting a divorce? Are you kidding me?
“We’ve been married for over two years, and those two years have been enough for us to realize that we’re not right for each other.”
Why was it said that the marriage was inappropriate when it was arranged? Why are you saying it's inappropriate now?
Two years into their marriage, they're saying they're not compatible anymore?
Then I realized that it seemed like I was dreaming two years into the future.
What surprised her even more was what happened next: after refusing several times, she agreed to the other party's request for a divorce.
This isn't surprising. If the other party felt it wasn't right, then they should have gotten a divorce. However, he shouldn't have brought his girlfriend to her and made statements like, "Your girlfriend is simple-minded, doesn't care about money or vanity, and just fell for me without realizing it. Unlike you, she only sees profit." He also told her not to bully his girlfriend, or he wouldn't let her get away with it...
Lin Yi'an found his self-righteous, arrogant, and domineering manner offensive and offensive. If this man were in front of her, she would definitely kick him away. She had never seen such a despicable and repulsive man. She couldn't stand him at all. There was no need to tolerate someone like that.
With a thud, something fell to the ground.
Lin Yi'an woke up suddenly, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, she came back to reality, turned on the light, and saw Zhou Mingshi sitting on the carpet with a bewildered look on his face.
Seeing the lingering anger on her face, Zhou Mingshi was certain once again that he had been kicked off the bed by Lin Yi'an.
On his wedding night, Zhou Mingshi felt he had every reason to be angry when his wife kicked him out of bed.
Before he could even get angry, his fiancée said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to having someone else in my bed. I should have learned and gotten used to how to share a bed with someone before we got married, without kicking him out of bed."
Zhou Mingshi: "..."
Lin Yi'an never expected that a dream would actually lead to kicking someone off the bed. The dream was so real that when she saw Zhou Ming's face, she could still recall the way he said those annoying things in the dream.
After a while, Zhou Mingshi asked, "Did I hurt you tonight?"
Lin Yi'an: "No."
Zhou Mingshi: "Is this what you mean by bad sleeping posture?"
Lin Yi'an: "No, not exactly."
Zhou Mingshi: "What did I do wrong today that made you unhappy?"
Lin Yi'an: "No."
Zhou Mingshi: "Can you give me a reason?" As for her saying that she was not used to sleeping with someone, he did not believe her at all.
Lin Yi'an, wrapped in the blanket, leaned against the headboard and decided to tell him the truth: "I had a dream. In the dream, two years later, we got divorced, and the reason for the divorce was that we weren't suitable for each other..."
Zhou Mingshi got up from the ground and sat down next to her: "Impossible."
After saying that, he pinched her nose in annoyance: "Dreaming of divorce on your wedding night?"
Lin Yi'an: "What's even more outrageous is that after the divorce, you brought your girlfriend to me and said that she doesn't care about money or vanity, and simply likes you, unlike me who only sees benefits, and told me not to bully her..."
Zhou Mingshi: "...Isn't this what the third brother and his wife often say?"
"..." Lin Yi'an was speechless. Why did she have to have this kind of dream on their wedding night? Why not Zhou Mingshi's?
Zhou Mingshi: "As for you saying you want to find a girlfriend who doesn't care about money or vanity, but simply likes me? That's even more impossible."
Lin Yi'an looked at him and said, "I was raised to be the heir of the Zhou family since I was a child. When I was in elementary school, I followed my grandfather and watched him handle official business and learn from him how to manage a company. When I was in college, I joined the family business and thought about how to create higher profits for the family business every day."
At this point, he added, "How can you tell a businessman that you don't love money or crave vanity?"
"While I'm not narcissistic, I'm not self-loathing either. Businessmen prioritize profit, so how could I possibly dislike someone like that? Do I hate myself?"
"People who don't care about money or vanity and prioritize love don't have the qualities that attract me."
