The meteor shower ended at 3 a.m.
Although the wedding was held on their own estate, they still had to get up at 7 a.m. at the latest to get ready.
"Jiang Jiang, it's getting late, go back and rest." Lu Shiyan said to Jiang Li, "Although you won't have dark circles under your eyes or your complexion will be worse if you sleep late, I can't... You don't want your husband to look tired and have dark circles under his eyes on your wedding day, do you?"
“Ayan…” Jiang Li’s expression was somewhat complicated. She said in a low voice, “You have to trust the makeup artist’s skills. Even if your eyes are comparable to a national treasure, they have the ability to make you look radiant and flawless.”
Lu Shiyan: "..."
"However, if you don't trust the makeup artist's skills, Ah Yan, I can also give you a talisman, which won't affect your handsome appearance."
"Let's go and rest." Lu Shiyan took Jiang Li's hand and walked downstairs.
It was already past midnight, so Lu Shiyan didn't bother to hide any longer.
But who could have imagined...
As soon as he went downstairs, his figure appeared in the area monitored by the surveillance cameras, and his phone rang.
I took out my phone and looked...
It is the palace.
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Don't you sleep at night?
Lu Shiyan, with great backbone, turned off his phone.
I will absolutely not answer the phone.
Seemingly having already noticed Lu Shiyan's actions, Gong Yu hung up the phone.
The next second...
Lu Shiyan's phone rang again.
Lu Shiyan: "..."
The call kept going back and forth, hanging up and calling back, for a total of seven or eight times before Lu Shiyan finally resignedly answered the phone.
"Third Senior Brother, why are you calling me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Lu Shiyan said, even pretending to yawn. "Don't you know it's bad behavior to disturb someone's sleep?"
What if he didn't know he was coming to see Jiang Jiang, and just wanted to talk to her about something?
If something really important happened, it wouldn't make sense for him to keep refusing to answer.
"You still have the nerve to ask me?" Gong Yu's tone was full of dissatisfaction, as if he wanted to devour Lu Shiyan. "Don't you have any idea what you've done? You still have the nerve to say you're disturbing my sleep? What are you trying to do in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Lu Shiyan still tried to struggle, "Third Senior Brother, what are you saying? I was clearly sleeping, how could..."
"Do I really have to tell you the specific surveillance locations?" Gong Yu said irritably. "You're really making a fuss. You're trying to mislead everyone so that they'll think you won't go looking for my junior sister and lower their guard. But little do you know, we won't fall for your tricks. Go back the way you came. I'll count to three, and if you don't leave, I'll come over and give you a good beating."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
"Third Senior Brother, why do you only talk about me, and also..." Lu Shiyan felt that he was caught with his wife, so why did Gong Yu keep talking about him but never mention his wife?
Then he turned his head...
Jiang Li was nowhere to be seen.
Where is his wife?
He has such a big wife.
"Let me tell you, we have surveillance cameras watching this the whole time, so don't even think about trying any tricks, it's useless."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
To be honest, we've already run out of tricks.
I'm a little embarrassed that you only found out after everything was over.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Alright." Lu Shiyan sighed softly. "I understand. Third Senior Brother, you don't need to keep an eye on things anymore. Go and rest. After all, if you look unwell later, people might mistakenly think that your family doesn't want Jiang Jiang to marry me."
"I'm not happy about it, and you're only just realizing that?" Gong Yu retorted. "You should also go and get some rest, otherwise it wouldn't be good if you made a fool of yourself at the wedding because you're not feeling well."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
You'll be the one making a fool of yourself.
He definitely won't.
With that in mind, Lu Shiyan walked back to his temporary residence openly, bypassing the surveillance cameras.
Somewhat sullen, Lu Shiyan opened the door to his room, intending to make another call to his wife.
Honestly...
The two of them went downstairs together, so how did Jiang Jiang react so quickly and not get caught by her third senior brother?
"At this hour, who are you going to call?" Lu Shiyan had just taken out his phone when he heard a cool voice from the side.
Lu Shiyan turned his head and saw his wife.
"Jiang... Jiang Jiang?" Lu Shiyan doubted his eyes.
"What? You don't want to see me?" Jiang Li pretended to be annoyed as she stood up. "In that case, I'll go back."
"Who wouldn't want to see you?" Lu Shiyan reached out and grabbed Jiang Li, who was pretending to leave, pulling her into his arms as if afraid she would run away. Then he asked, somewhat puzzled, "But, Jiang Jiang, why did you suddenly disappear just now?"
"Knowing that someone is watching us, am I going to just walk out and get yelled at?" Jiang Li said confidently. "I'm not going to give them that chance!"
"You don't give them a chance to teach you a lesson, but instead push your husband out to be scolded?" Lu Shiyan pinched Jiang Li's nose in dissatisfaction.
Jiang Li slapped Lu Shiyan's hand away and said somewhat guiltily, "You can't blame me for this, can you? By the time I realized what was happening, I could only dodge by myself. I wanted to pull you along, but in reality, it was too late."
Seeing that Lu Shiyan remained silent, Jiang Li continued, "Besides, isn't being caught once enough of a lesson? Do you want me to get taught a lesson along with you?"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
He didn't mean to expect his wife to be scolded along with him; he just felt a bit melancholy because his wife had abandoned him.
"See, I didn't abandon you." Jiang Li seemed to see what Lu Shiyan was thinking, and immediately added, "I came to your room to wait for you as soon as I got away, didn't I?"
In short, she successfully won over Lu Shiyan.
"Go and rest. I have to go back before those people come knocking on our door," Jiang Li said to Lu Shiyan, then yawned.
"Okay." Lu Shiyan picked up Jiang Li in his arms and strode towards the bedside.
The two lay on the soft, large bed, embracing each other.
They should have been asleep, but even with their eyes closed, neither of them felt sleepy at all.
How could they possibly sleep when they thought about what was about to happen?
And this was also the last time they could embrace each other, so thinking about it made them even more reluctant to go to sleep.
that's all……
Both of them closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep, but actually...
No one was asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, when she heard footsteps outside, Jiang Li pretended to be startled awake and quickly left the room.
As Lu Shiyan watched his wife's figure disappear, he couldn't help but smile.
But that smile...
It's so bittersweet it makes my heart ache.
