Zong Jia carried her and placed her in the passenger seat. "Shall we go home now?"
Jiang Xiaoli tilted her head and thought for a moment, "No! Today is for just the two of us!"
Zong Jiayu had no objection. "Then where shall we go?"
She tugged at his tie with a grin, "Let's go—to the bridal chamber!"
In the main room of the antique-style courtyard house, the silhouettes of two people are faintly visible through the curtains of the canopy bed.
The wooden bed frame creaked from time to time.
A girl's shy voice came from behind, "This bed needs fixing!"
The boy chuckled softly and coaxed gently, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely fix it, Little Pear, relax..."
...
The top floor of "Heyuan".
Xiao Jincheng paced back and forth in the living room. Xu Feng went up to him and patted him on the back, saying, "Go, go, go! I'm so annoyed by all this walking! Sit down with me!"
Xiao Jincheng sighed, took another sip of tea, and then said, "Why did it take Xiaolizi so long to get her marriage certificate?"
Xiao Muyu raised her hand to speak, "I heard from Xiao Li that sometimes there are long queues, maybe everyone thinks today is a good day, so there are more people getting their marriage certificates."
Li Guizhi nodded. "I see."
They waited and waited, and it was almost noon when Zhong Yuan came back from the bathroom for the third time.
He speculated, "Could they have gotten their marriage certificate and gone off to have fun on their own?"
Jiang Chengle's eyes widened. "You left us all at home to play by yourself?"
Xiao Muyu tugged at him, "Xiao Li doesn't know we're waiting for them."
Dafu quietly walked to the side and made a phone call.
When he hung up the phone, he turned around and saw that everyone's eyes were staring at him.
He felt a lot of pressure, and he swallowed. "Um... Brother Zong said he's going to have some alone time with Xiaoli today and won't be coming back."
"You brat!" Xiao Jincheng slapped the sofa and cursed.
Xu Feng pulled him back, "Look at you!"
Li Guizhi smiled helplessly, "Forget it, let them be. This must have been Xiao Li's idea."
Xiao Muyu nodded repeatedly, "I think so too!"
Jiang Ruilin stood up and straightened his clothes. "Sister-in-law, I'll be going now. I have things to do at the company."
"It's almost noon, why don't you have lunch together before you leave?" Li Guizhi urged him to stay.
"No, thank you," Jiang Ruilin explained. "It's faster to go back and eat a work meal. I also have to keep an eye on a few dishes, so I might not have time to eat."
Li Guizhi had no choice but to let them go. "Alright then, I'll have Xiaoli come to your house to tell you the good news when she gets back."
Jiang Chengle also stood up, "Third Aunt, I'll be going now."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Li Guizhi waved to them.
When no one noticed, Jiang Chengle winked at Xiao Muyu before following Jiang Ruilin away.
The others had a meal together and then went on to do their own things.
It was only then that Jiang Xiaoli woke up from hunger.
She pulled aside the pillow beside her and called out, "Ayu!"
Zong Jiayu walked in and pulled back the bed curtains. "Awake? Are you hungry?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, resting her chin on the back of her hand. "I woke up because I was hungry."
Zong Jia chuckled and lifted her out of bed. "I ordered food, it's still warm, get up and eat."
Seeing her eyelids drooping, Zong Jiayu couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so sleepy?"
Jiang Xiaoli answered truthfully, "Actually... I think I only slept for an hour or two last night."
"Having trouble sleeping?"
She said while eating, "My mind is just blank, and I can't fall asleep no matter what I do."
Zong Jia served her a bowl of soup, saying, "I wasn't asleep either."
He laughed and said, "I stared at the dark ceiling all night."
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly perked up, "I thought I was the only one who was both excited and nervous!"
"Hehe." Zong Jiayu said with a smile, "I've been fantasizing about Xiaolizi becoming my legal wife for so long, and now my dream can finally come true. I don't want to go to sleep."
She said with a smile, "So, can you fall asleep now?"
Zong Jia nodded, "Okay, we'll take a nap after lunch."
The courtyard house was very warm, and after eating her fill, Jiang Xiaoli rolled around on the bed.
Zong Jia was only wearing a loose white shirt suitable for taking wedding photos.
The shirt was casually buttoned with two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of her beautiful neckline.
Jiang Xiaoli lay on her side, propped her head up with one hand, and beckoned to him with her finger.
Zong Jia sat obediently on the edge of the bed. "What's wrong?"
She propped herself up, rolled over, and pinned him down. "It's nothing, I'm just feeling a bit nauseous after a good meal—"
The last two words echoed in Zong Jiayu's ears.
A moment later, the annoying creaking sound, accompanied by the girl's soft moans, rang out again.
The next morning, someone who wanted to go home to change clothes after everyone went to work was caught red-handed by Xiao Muyu, who was waiting for him.
"Oh my god, that scared me to death!" Jiang Xiaoli quickly patted her heart to calm herself down. "What are you doing in my house?"
Xiao Muyu placed the book face down on the sofa, looking at her with amusement, "Waiting for you."
"Why are you waiting for me?"
"Let's see what the newlywed wife looks like."
Jiang Xiaoli subconsciously pulled her collar up a little. "You gossip queen!"
Xiao Muyu leaned closer to her and said with a grin, "How does it feel to be married?"
"What aspect of feeling?"
Xiao Muyu was speechless. "Psychological! Has your mindset changed after getting the marriage certificate compared to before?"
"Ugh!" Jiang Xiaoli sighed. "I thought you were going to ask something risqué. Oh? Hmm... let me think..."
She rolled her eyes, thinking back, "I don't think it's anything, how can you notice anything in just one day?"
Xiao Muyu pouted, "How boring!"
Jiang Xiaoli put her arm around her shoulder, "Xiaoyu, you don't understand, it's actually quite exciting to be legal! Let me tell you..."
Realizing what she was about to say, Xiao Muyu quickly covered her ears, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, don't tell me!"
She laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, I won't share with a pure love warrior like you."
Actually, Xiao Muyu was a little curious; she felt like there was a little hook in her heart.
She said tactfully, "Well... actually, it can be explained in a simpler way."
Jiang Xiaoli immediately hugged her and whispered in her ear for several minutes.
Xiao Muyu's complexion went through a process of light pink, rose red, and blood red.
Finally, she covered her burning ears and said, "Enough, enough, I don't want to hear anymore!"
Jiang Xiaoli pulled her aside and gossiped, "Tell me in secret, how far have things progressed between you and Brother Le?"
Xiao Muyu said in a low voice, "We just...we just held hands."
"Tsk." She felt a little sorry for Jiang Chengle. "It's really true that you guys are warriors of pure love."
Xiao Muyu retorted, "I haven't told my family yet. Besides, I don't go out much and I'm mostly at home. Even if I wanted to, there's nothing I could do."
Jiang Xiaoli quickly grasped the key point, "So what do you want to do?"
Xiao Muyu paused, seemingly lost in thought. Her face flushed red, she picked up her book, threw down the words "I'm going home," and ran back home.
