Having received Qiao Zhen's promise, Mingzhao blinked sleepily and said, "I'm so sleepy."
"Good girl, go to sleep." Qiao Zhen lifted the blanket, and Ming Zhao obediently crawled in.
Qiao Zhen looked at Ming Zhao's sleeping face and could only smile helplessly. She had originally planned to persist and give Ming Zhao a surprise in the end, but who knew he would be so stubborn? She was soft-hearted and could only agree.
The wedding was planned by Mingzhao and took place in the Ming family's main base, a luxurious and classic castle, which is said to be owned by Mingzhao himself.
On that day, Qiao Zhen, wearing a floor-length wedding dress, sat in an exquisite and luxurious carriage with Ming Zhao from the castle gate to the castle interior, where elegantly dressed guests were gathered.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, dressed in clothes personally designed by Qiao Zhen, did not appear inferior among the group of noble ladies and wealthy people. The flower girls were also carefully selected by the parents of the Qiao family and the Ming family. Ming Zhao, as expected of the new head of the Ming family, had all the relatives from each branch of the family bring their wives and children to meet Qiao Zhen, the matriarch, in advance and attend the wedding.
Grandpa Qiao, Grandma Qiao, and Uncle Qiao's family were not invited. According to Qiao Zhen's wishes, they should go back and invite some friends to hold a small wedding, which would be considered a way to make it public.
Mingzhao was of course willing. Everyone in the Ming family knew that Qiao Zhen was the mistress of the house, so he also had to let Qiao Zhen's friends know that he was Qiao Zhen's new husband. Whether they were married or not, he was determined to show off their affection and at the same time declare his ownership. Killing two birds with one stone, he was simply delighted.
Qiao Zhen entrusted the wedding to Ming Zhao to handle everything, but she did not expect Ming Zhao to be so ruthless, scheduling the wedding for three days in a row. This meant that Qiao Zhen would have to drag her tired body to cooperate with him for the next two days.
"aunt."
A childish voice came from behind her. Qiao Zhen turned around, holding the hem of her wedding dress. She looked at Ming Li, who was opening his arms to her, asking for a hug. She bent down and picked him up. "Li Li."
Mingli was wearing a white suit today, with a delicate little rose pinned to her chest. Her hair was even more meticulous than usual, making her look like a gentlemanly CEO. "Aunt, I like you very much."
Qiao Zhenna was naturally very happy to be liked by the child. "Really? Auntie likes you very much too."
Mingli cupped her round little face in her hands, smiling like a lovesick girl, "Auntie, I feel like we've met before. Do you like watermelon?"
Qiao Zhen was slightly taken aback. When she took care of Mingli before, it was the peak season for watermelons, and they ate watermelons almost every other day. Instead of answering, she asked, "Why would you ask that? Do I look like I like eating watermelons?"
Mingli frowned in confusion and answered honestly, "I don't know, but I just have a feeling that my aunt really likes to eat watermelon, and that only by eating watermelon can I grow up to be as beautiful as my aunt!"
"Lili, shall we eat watermelon today?"
—"Why is Senmo here?"
—"Because watermelons are juicy and sweet, only by eating more watermelons can you grow into the radiant beauty that the CEO likes!"
Memories that had been carefree and suppressed resurfaced, and Qiao Zhen's eyes welled up with tears. She raised her hand and pressed her fingertips against her lower eyelids, forcing back the tears that were about to spill. No matter how carefree she was, she was still a girl, and she could be sentimental too, especially when it came to holding a wedding with everyone knowing each other's true identities—it felt all the more real. "Lili, our Lili is so good and cute."
Mingli hugged Qiao Zhen's neck with a grin, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie."
When Mingzhao arrived, he saw his newlywed wife being monopolized by the flower girl Mingli. He grabbed Mingli by the back of his collar and put him on the ground. "Your aunt is very tired today. You have to be considerate of her, okay?"
"Mmm!" Mingli nodded and answered seriously.
Mingzhao then noticed that Qiao Zhen's eyes were a little red. He gently rubbed Qiao Zhen's eyes with his fingertips, feeling sorry for her. "What's wrong? Are you very tired?"
Qiao Zhen took Ming Zhao's hand and said, "Isn't it okay for me to cry tears of joy on a day like this?"
"Xing!" Mingzhao's heart was filled with joy. He hugged Qiaozhen tightly. "But it hurts me so much when you cry."
Qiao Zhen punched his chest lightly with her fist, as if she were being coquettish, "I rarely do this, it's just that the scene touched my heart, can't I be a little sentimental?"
"Okay!" Mingzhao leaned closer, tightening her arms around Qiao Zhen's slender waist. "Kiss."
Qiao Zhen leaned in and gave Ming Zhao a quick kiss on the cheek, showering the guests with a dose of PDA.
Mingli ran over with her short legs and hugged Qiao Zhen's leg through the wedding dress, "I want a kiss too!"
Qiao Zhen bent down and gently tapped Mingli's cheek. "Good girl, Lili."
Mingli looked frustrated. "There's no sound."
Qiao Zhen pinched his cheek, which was still chubby, with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "It's because Uncle has thick skin that Auntie gave him a kiss. Li Li's little face is so tender, how could Auntie bear to kiss it?"
Mingli stretched out his chubby little hand and touched the cheek that Qiao Zhen had kissed. A blush appeared on his fair face. He looked at Qiao Zhen with a hesitant expression, and finally walked away with his short little legs.
Qiao Zhen watched Ming Li's retreating figure, her eyes filled with a smile, "He's so cute."
Mingzhao faced Qiao Zhen with a serious expression, "I've decided that we shouldn't have children in the future. Let's adopt one for Mom and Dad." If Mingli could win Qiao Zhen's heart at that cute stage, then a baby with his genes would definitely be even cuter than Mingli. Would he still have a place in the family in the future?
"Hmm?" Qiao Zhen asked him subconsciously, then quickly realized, "No, I want to have children! I want to have many boys and then a girl, so our daughter will have many brothers to protect her!"
