But once outside the courtyard, a cold wind blew, and he glanced again at the misshapen creatures around him.
Ninth Master suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder the old man was so disgusted with it, saying it was not presentable.
It's true what they say: comparisons are odious!
But then again, men like Huo Tingzhou, who are good-looking, have good character, come from good families, and are loyal to Miss Si Si, are rare in this world.
Where can he find a man with better qualities than him?
No one could truly understand Ninth Master's troubles. At that moment, several elders in the courtyard were having a very heated discussion about the young couple's marriage.
On the contrary, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou, the two parties involved, couldn't get a word in edgewise throughout the entire process.
Upon seeing this, Huo Tingzhou asked, "Third Uncle, which room is Si Si staying in?"
Upon hearing this, the third uncle curled his lip.
I don't know why, but he was so satisfied with him before, but now that we haven't been in contact for a few months, my third uncle gets angry just looking at him.
But in the end, out of consideration for Jiang Si, he pointed to the location of the east wing.
Little did they know that when Huo Tingzhou got up, he grabbed Jiang Si's wrist with his other hand.
The entire process was natural and smooth, and by the time everyone realized what was happening, the young couple had already entered the room.
That's why people say that getting a wife and marrying off a daughter are two completely different mindsets.
Grandpa and Grandma Huo couldn't stop smiling when they saw this.
He thought to himself, "Good lad, now he finally knows when to panic."
After a moment of stunned silence, the third uncle suddenly stood up.
You little rascal!
He dared to lay a hand on Si Yatou right in front of him!
Fortunately, Uncle Zhong reacted quickly, pressing the person down while whispering something.
"With so many people around, a son-in-law wouldn't be so unruly in broad daylight."
Huo Tingzhou was indeed not as unruly as he seemed.
Jiang Si is the one who doesn't follow the rules.
As soon as the two entered the east wing, Jiang Si locked the door.
The next second, she wrapped her arms around Huo Tingzhou's waist.
Based on her understanding, if she didn't ask him today, this person would keep it bottled up inside for a long time.
"You haven't said anything just now, are you jealous?"
Huo Tingzhou paused in packing his luggage, then his gaze fell on her fair wrist, his voice low and deep.
"No."
"Really not?"
Jiang Si didn't believe it and reached out to pinch his firm abs.
"I was thinking that if you're jealous, we shouldn't have them come to the wedding."
"Since you're so generous, then..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Tingzhou had already wrapped his arms around her waist.
With a little effort, I lifted her and placed her on the desk next to me.
The next second, he braced himself against the sides of the desk.
He just stared at her intently.
"Sisi, do you prefer young men?"
Jiang Si chuckled and naturally wrapped her arms around his neck.
They'd been together for a long time; she knew exactly what he liked, and even more so…
Staring at his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, Jiang Si couldn't resist taking a small bite.
Huo Tingzhou's expression suddenly changed.
"Si Si—"
Jiang Si didn't give him a chance to speak, "Don't ask those kinds of questions again. I only like you the way you are."
After saying that, she let go of him.
The gaze then descends.
Yes, that's right, she's a bad woman.
They only care about starting fires, never about putting them out.
But this time, Huo Tingzhou didn't give her a chance to escape. He grabbed the back of her head with one hand and intensified the kiss.
After a long pause, Huo Tingzhou said in a hoarse voice, "My parents will come over early tomorrow morning to discuss the wedding. I'll come to pick you up five days later."
At this point, the man is dangerous and has no rationality whatsoever.
Jiang Si knew when to stop and gave a soft "hmm".
After calming herself down, Jiang Si went out.
Huo Tingzhou returned more than ten minutes later.
Seeing that his third uncle had been staring at him for a long time and couldn't bear to look away, Jiang Si could only bite the bullet and say something.
"I have a lot of clothes, so it's a hassle to organize them."
What could Third Uncle possibly say?
Seeing that it was still early, he handed the transfer documents for the courtyard house to Jiang Si.
"While you have some free time now, you two should go to the housing management office and get the house transfer done first."
After saying that, he asked Uncle Zhong for an envelope.
"According to Shanghai custom, when getting married, you need to buy two sets of clothes for the groom, one from top to bottom and one from the inside out. After the ceremony, you can go to the department store to buy the clothes."
Jiang Si refused to accept it, saying, "Third Uncle, I have money on me."
"You have money, that's yours."
Without a word, Third Uncle shoved the envelope into his hand. "Alright, go on your way. When you come back, I'll have Uncle Zhong make some of your favorite Shanghai-style stir-fries."
After the young couple left, the Third Uncle, who never spoke softly, bowed his head once again for Jiang Si.
“Grandpa and Grandma, although Si is not my biological granddaughter, she is no different from my biological granddaughter.”
“Her family members passed away early, and she was the only son in the Jiang family.”
“We have no demands, we just hope you will treat her well.”
"Uncle, please rest assured about this."
"You've met Xiaozhou's parents before; they really like Sisi."
Grandpa Huo solemnly said, "If Xiaozhou ever wrongs Si'er in any way in the future, you won't even need to say a word. This old man will be the first to not forgive him!"
On this joyous occasion, Uncle San didn't want to say anything that might bring bad luck.
