The naive Xu Nian thought that today was really her way home, and without thinking, she followed Shen Chaoxi onto the bus.
The car stopped at several stations but still hadn't reached the train station. Xu Nian looked at Shen Chaoxi in confusion: "Shen Chaoxi, did we get on the wrong train?"
“Wife, yes, this is the train.” Shen Chaoxi confirmed, suppressing a smile.
"Oh!" Xu Nian, who had no sense of direction and was visiting Beijing for the first time, believed it. She turned her head to look out the car window, watching the crowded people and bicycles coming and going.
Thinking of the prosperity of the future and looking at the simplicity of the present, who could have imagined that in just over twenty years, the world would undergo earth-shattering changes?
After looking around for a long time and thinking about many things, Xu Nian came back to her senses and looked at the person next to her, asking, "Chen Chaoxi, what time did you buy your train ticket?"
"Don't worry, it won't take up much time." Shen Chaoxi stroked Xu Nian's long, dark hair, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
After the bus passed two more stops, Shen Chaoxi pulled Xu Nian off the bus.
Looking at the unfamiliar station and the man beside her who couldn't hide his smile, Xu Nian realized what was going on. "Shen Chaoxi, tell me, what do you want to take me to?"
"Wife, don't ask questions, just follow my plan today." Shen Chaoxi took Xu Nian's soft, boneless hand and led her into a photo studio.
He gave his name, and soon a photographer took the two of them to change clothes and do their makeup.
Xu Nian changed into a wedding dress, while Shen Chaoxi put on a suit.
Emerging from the fitting room, both were amazed by each other's beauty.
Without a word, they exchanged glances and gradually drew closer to each other.
Their blood was flowing rapidly, their hearts were racing, and they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.
"Wife, you look so beautiful today." Shen Chaoxi gazed at Xu Nian with a mixture of infatuation and greed.
Even though she was already his wife, and even though they had been intimate many times, his love for her not only did not diminish, but actually grew deeper.
She's so beautiful, I really want to see her all by myself.
Suppressing his inappropriate thoughts, Shen Chaoxi smiled and placed the flowers prepared by the photo studio into Xu Nian's hands.
"Thank you. Mr. Shen looks very handsome today. He has Mrs. Shen completely smitten." Xu Nian took the flowers, stood on tiptoe, leaned against Shen Chaoxi, and chuckled.
"I'm glad Mrs. Shen is satisfied with Mr. Shen." Shen Chaoxi gestured for him to enter, his eyes filled with tender affection.
Xu Nian took his arm, and the two of them standing together looked like a beautiful painting.
During the photo shoot, the photographer repeatedly praised the couple, saying they were the most compatible and loving couple he had ever seen.
After changing into several outfits, the photographer was satisfied with the photos, and Shen Chaoxi and Xu Nian also enjoyed the shoot.
After taking the photos and leaving their contact information with the photo studio, Shen Chaoxi immediately took Xu Nian away.
When they passed by a department store, he insisted on taking Xu Nian inside to buy her a set of clothes.
Yes! These clothes were pre-ordered; we just need the two of them to pick them up.
Looking at her bright red cheongsam and the black Zhongshan suit of the person beside her, Xu Nian suddenly smiled. "Dear Mr. Shen, how long have you been secretly preparing these things behind Mrs. Shen's back?"
"Ever since I learned that you intended to come to Beijing, I had my parents start preparing. Mrs. Shen, were you surprised?" Shen Chaoxi put his arm around Xu Nian's slender waist, using a protective posture to block the prying eyes of others.
He felt a little regretful. If he had known that Niannian would look so good in this cheongsam, he should have worn it at the restaurant.
"I'm so surprised, Shen Chaoxi, you're so thoughtful." Xu Nian's eyes were a little moist. Is this what it feels like to be cared for and cherished?
It's really great, she likes it so much.
"Don't cry, your relatives and friends will misunderstand if you have red eyes. Mrs. Shen, please be funny. Mr. Shen doesn't want to get beaten up." Shen Chaoxi pretended to be scared and begged Xu Nian for mercy.
"Pfft!" Xu Nian covered her mouth and laughed, her almond-shaped eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Shen Chaoxi.
Their loving gazes met tenderly, their affection pure and beautiful in that moment.
Shen Chaoxi and Xu Nian walked hand in hand through the crowd, receiving envious and admiring glances from everyone.
When the two arrived at the restaurant, it was already almost noon.
When Chen's mother saw the two of them, she first glared at Chen Chaoxi, and then smiled and praised Xu Nian.
While Mr. Shen and his two older brothers were entertaining relatives, the newlyweds were nowhere to be seen, which made Mrs. Shen very anxious.
After a brief conversation, they urged the two to go inside and offer toasts.
At this time, the banquet was simple, with eight dishes and eight bowls, and ten people at a table, so that everyone could eat and drink to their heart's content.
After witnessing the two newlyweds and toasting each relative, that's about it.
After seeing off all the relatives and friends, Shen Chaoxi said apologetically to Xu Nian, "Wife, I originally wanted to have a Western-style banquet, but Mom and Dad said that because of my second brother's status, it's not appropriate to have a grand affair right now, so I can only ask you to make do."
Xu Nian shook her head, hugged Shen Chaoxi back, and said with satisfaction, "Silly boy, the wedding is just a formality. The main thing is that you put your heart into it, and today's event is quite grand. I'm very happy."
In the 1980s, Shen Chaoxi really put a lot of thought into arranging such a wedding for her.
In an era of transition between old and new ideas, she had little to criticize.
"Niannian is the fool. She's so easily satisfied. You're so easy to please, it makes me feel guilty." Shen Chaoxi felt that she hadn't done enough. She deserved better: flowers lining the way, wedding songs, and jewelry—all for her.
Xu Nian shook her head and chuckled. They were going on and on like this, who knew how long they would stop being so lovey-dovey.
Xu Nian poked his chest and asked Shen Chaoxi what he planned to do next.
The banquet has been held, so there's no need to rush to catch the train back today. It's not appropriate for the two of them to return to the Shen family at this time.
There must be a lot of relatives and friends at the Shen family's house today. Now that they're back, the two of them will be subjected to a soul-searching interrogation.
For example, when do you plan to have children? What jobs do you both do? How much do you earn? What are your future plans?
Shen Chaoxi smiled mysteriously at Xu Nian and said, "Wife, let's stay outside tonight."
"Hmm?" Xu Nian blinked and looked Chen Chaoxi up and down suspiciously.
"Wife, what kind of look is that?" Shen Chaoxi's lips twitched. He felt like Xu Nian was looking at him like he was a pervert.
"What do you think?" Xu Nian smiled slightly, and finally decided that no matter what Shen Chaoxi wanted to do, she would grant his wish today, considering his efforts to surprise her with a wedding.
However, Xu Nian soon regretted her decision.
Inside the hotel room, Xu Nian, dressed in a bright red cheongsam, stood awkwardly in front of Shen Chaoxi.
His gaze lingered on her inch by inch, making her feel like she was on fire.
Just as she was feeling uncomfortable being stared at, the person in front of her finally couldn't resist and transformed into a wolf, pouncing on her.
Low sobs echoed in the room; not a single complete word of pleading could be uttered.
