Under the sunlight, Jiang Pengyue wore a baggy dress with no waistline, making her look like a water bucket, which was uncomfortable to look at.
Zhou Xiangqun thought to himself, "Luckily, she's not his wife."
He was secretly relieved, and a smile was always on his face. As soon as he saw Gu Tongkai, he hurriedly reached out his hand to greet him warmly: "Grandpa, what brings you here?"
Gu Tongkai looked displeased.
He said, "The wedding is about to start, but I can't get through to your home phone. When I call your workplace, they keep saying they're busy. Being busy is just an excuse, isn't it?"
The Zhou family is utterly incompetent.
This is disregarding the importance of praising someone.
The Jiang family has fallen, but the Gu family has taken over.
Zhou Xiangqun quickly shook off his confusion and laughed, "Grandpa, you know my eldest brother works in the national defense industry. His job is special. Unless it's something very important, you usually can't find him. You can't even get through to unfamiliar numbers, not even me."
"..." Gu Tongkai.
He hadn't expected that Zhou Xiangqun would remain so tight-lipped even at this critical juncture.
“Grandpa, let me talk to him. Maybe he has his own concerns.” Jiang Pengyue blinked, her tone innocent, which made Gu Tongkai nod.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."
Gu Tongkai turned around and left.
Deng Hui left at some point, leaving only the two of them at the scene.
The atmosphere instantly became eerie.
Neither of them spoke.
It wasn't until Jiang Pengyue grabbed Zhou Xiangqun's hand and stroked her slightly protruding belly under her clothes that things started to change.
The movements are gentle and slow.
"Xiang Qun, can you feel it? This is your son. Last time, Grandpa invited a royal physician who used to work in the palace. He knew it was a boy as soon as he touched him," she said with a smile.
As she spoke, she leaned in, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.
“Xiang Qun, once you get married, you will have a wife and children. I am willing to give up everything and spend my whole life with you, loving and respecting you with all my heart. I will only have you as my heaven and earth and ask for nothing else, okay?” she said.
Jiang Pengyue has a soft voice.
She was very nervous.
She only had a small piece of the spice the weirdo gave her last time, and she applied it all to her lips... hoping it would still work.
Zhou Xiangqun looked at the ordinary-looking woman in front of him.
What comes to mind is a beautiful face.
That's strange.
He clearly loathed Jiang Xiaoyu, but her initiative and warmth, a tenderness unlike anything he had ever experienced in his dreams, stirred a wicked thought within him.
“…Xiang Qun, I’m willing to do anything for you, as long as you agree,” she said softly.
Zhou Xiangqun's psychological defenses were already weak.
Unable to resist her teasing, he picked her up and hurried into the house.
With a thud, the door slammed shut.
He specially rented a small courtyard house in Haicheng for his wedding.
The house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with red "double happiness" characters pasted on the windows and red couplets on the door frames. Trendy colorful plastic ropes also hung inside.
There was a bright red quilt in the bedroom, embroidered with a picture of a hundred sons and a thousand grandsons.
He went to great lengths to get his hands on this bed.
When he carried Jiang Pengyue into the house, he went straight into the small second bedroom without hesitation...
A flash of red appeared in Jiang Pengyue's eyes.
She didn't expect that Zhou Xiangqun was so infatuated that he wouldn't let her into the new house.
A surge of hatred welled up in my heart.
Deng Hui came in with three or five of his brothers to have a cup of tea with the groom and ask for some wedding candy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard a series of strange noises.
"Towards the flock~~~"
"Holding up the moon—"
Among the group of men, except for the youngest, Ding Xiaotong, who was already married with children, they all understood what was happening inside the room. They blushed with embarrassment and quickly hid.
Ding Xiaotong pressed on, "Why aren't you going in? I heard a woman calling the groom's name. I haven't even had any wedding candy yet. Go in and see..."
Deng Hui was numb.
How is he supposed to explain this to an innocent young man?
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. The groom is busy, let's not disturb his good time. Anyway, we'll be able to eat wedding candy tomorrow, so it won't make a difference if we wait a little longer," Deng Hui said.
"Yes, yes, I remembered I have something to do at work, so I'll have to go now."
"Yes, yes, I have a meeting this afternoon."
"My wife is waiting for me at home."
Before Ding Xiaotong could ask any further questions, everyone scattered again.
His innocent eyes stared at Deng Hui, making the man extremely embarrassed. He grabbed Deng Hui and pulled him away from the courtyard without a second thought...
After leaving, Ding Xiaotong asked Deng Hui, "Cousin, what were you doing? I just came from the countryside and don't know the customs of city people, but there's something I still have to say. Generally, the bride and groom shouldn't meet before the wedding; it's considered unlucky. But just now—"
Deng Hui quickly covered his cousin's mouth.
He looked around, his eyes hardening, and instructed, "Xiao Tong, although you are my aunt, second cousin, third aunt... family relative, since you have come to rely on me and want to settle down in the city, the first thing you need to learn is to shut up. You can't say a single word that you shouldn't say."
Ding Xiaotong didn't understand.
But he could tell his cousin was angry. He stared at the bewildered, innocent boy with wide eyes, nodding blankly and making muffled noises.
Deng Hui let go of his hand, nodded with a wronged look on his face, and said in a sullen voice, "I know, I didn't see or hear anything this afternoon."
"That's more like it."
Deng Hui revealed a look of relief.
He felt quite exhausted thinking about Zhou Xiangqun's affair.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
Can't you even hold back for a day?
