Chapter 35 Chapter 35
035.
But that's not certain. Song Yushan has a sweet mouth, so sweet that she can make the dead appear alive. She is even more adept at pretending to be green tea. It's possible that she can really make Sun Wenbin dizzy and do whatever she says.
But this is also good for Song Chunman. After all, as long as Song Yushan's secret is in her hands, they will never dare to make trouble in front of her, and Sun Wenbin, the scapegoat, will probably be the victim forever.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh. Gu Tingzhou came over at some point, put his arm around her shoulders, and asked softly, "What are you laughing at? You look so happy?"
Song Chunman looked up at him, a sly glint in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "Nothing. I'm just getting married today. I'm really happy."
Gu Tingzhou's lips curled up slightly, "I'm also very happy to marry you."
After that, he glanced at the time and said, "Let's go, get ready to go home."
Holding a wedding banquet in a hotel is worry-free. After the meal, they don’t have to rush around cleaning up the dishes. They can just pay the bill with the hotel and leave. Gu’s parents have already reconciled the bill with the hotel staff, which saves them a lot of trouble.
By the time they saw off the Gu family's aunts and uncles, it was already past six in the afternoon. By the time they returned to the military compound, the sky was completely drenched in inky black, and the wall clock had just passed seven.
Song Chunman got down directly from the sofa, and Gu Tingzhou sat down consciously to massage her legs.
In front of the old couple, Song Chunman didn't feel comfortable asking him to work, so she quickly retracted her legs and said, "It's okay, I'll be fine after sitting for a while."
She was wearing black high heels today. Although the heels were not high, she must have been tired. Gu Tingzhou held her legs and said, "It's okay. I'll give you a massage."
Song Chunman carefully looked after her father and mother, and seeing that they seemed used to it, she felt at ease and let the man massage her legs.
There wasn't actually much work for her to do that day, but just standing there greeting guests, toasting, and dealing with greetings was enough to exhaust her.
Thinking back to when she got married to Sun Wenbin, she only invited a few relatives and set up six tables of wine. She was busy the whole time but she didn't feel so tired.
Although he was so tired that his eyelids and legs were trembling, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Because she knew that the Gu family valued her, they held a grand wedding banquet.
This kind of tiredness of being praised and cherished by others is sweet.
Seeing her slumped down on the sofa, Mother Gu smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? Mom will make it for you."
Song Chunman shook her head. She had eaten too much today and her stomach was already full. "Mom, no need. I'm not hungry."
"Well, you've been tired all day, so you should go to bed early." Mother Gu smiled meaningfully, her eyes moving between the two of them. "Let me know if there's anything missing from the wedding room. I'll make it up to you."
The intention of urging them to go back to their rooms and sleep was obvious. Song Chunman's cheeks felt slightly hot and she couldn't help but want to laugh.
She was indeed tired today. Moreover, tonight was their wedding night, so she naturally wouldn't refuse. "I know, Mom."
Mother Gu turned to Gu Tingzhou again, her tone somewhat serious: "Take a look at the gift money you received today. You are getting married now, so you should keep this money. From now on, this family will be handed over to you two."
"I understand, Mom." Gu Tingzhou responded and pulled her back to the room.
Seeing the two of them go in, Gu's mother also carried Song Xiyue to take a bath.
The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. As Mother Gu undressed her child, she asked with a smile, "Would you like Yueyue to sleep with Grandma tonight?"
Song Xiyue's voice was a little puzzled: "Why?"
"Because my parents are married, they have to sleep together." Mother Gu explained patiently.
Song Xiyue blinked, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about this problem seriously.
This was her first time sleeping without her mother, so she was a little nervous. But today was her parents' wedding...
Seeing this, Mother Gu quickly coaxed her, "Yueyue will be four soon. She will be a little adult. In the future, Yueyue will have her own room and sleep by herself."
"Grandma will also make you a big bunny doll when the time comes. Yueyue can sleep with the bunny from now on, okay?"
Song Xiyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Really? Grandma, will you give me a big rag doll?"
"Of course it's true." Mother Gu chuckled, "Whatever Yueyue likes, grandma will make it for you."
Children are easy to coax, and Song Xiyue was bribed with a rag doll.
She immediately clapped her hands and agreed: "I am a little adult now, I want to sleep alone tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Mother Gu burst into laughter. "Is this true? Is our Yueyue really that powerful?"
Now, whenever this child hears the word "rag doll", he doesn't even want his grandmother to be with him.
When they came out of the shower, Song Xiyue ran into the room, raised her little face and said to Song Chunman seriously, "Mom, I'm going to sleep alone tonight."
Song Chunman looked at the little girl in surprise, "Can you do it by yourself?"
"Don't cry when the time comes." Gu Tingzhou also smiled.
"Of course!" Song Xiyue patted his chest with his chubby hands. "I'll be four soon. I'm already an adult. I can't sleep with you all the time."
Mother Gu also laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll put her to sleep tonight, you two can go about your business."
After saying that, he quickly carried Song Xiyue to his room, fearing that he would delay the young man's business.
Song Chunman looked at their backs, and her heart felt as if it was soaked in warm water, soft and warm.
Sure enough, when getting married, you have to choose the right person and the right family.
She was still holding the gift list for the wedding banquet in her hand. The gifts she received amounted to more than 3,300 yuan, not including items such as quilt covers and thermoses. This amount of gift money alone had already exceeded Song Chunman's expectations.
Gu Tingzhou didn't hesitate and stuffed a stack of brand new bills into her hands: "Here is the money."
Then he took out two passbooks from the drawer and handed them to her, "This is my salary and bonus over the years, take a look."
Song Chunman opened it and saw two passbooks, one for a fixed term and one for a current account. The fixed term account had a full 10,000 yuan, while the current account had more than 1,000 yuan.
She widened her eyes slightly, "You gave me all this?"
"Yes." Gu Tingzhou smiled, "We are married now, so from now on, all our family money will be under your control."
There was a pile of cash in Song Chunman's left hand and the man's passbook in her right hand. She looked at this and then that, and her nose became more and more sore.
Thinking back to when she married Sun Wenbin, not only did she pay for the dowry, but even if she were to be a horse again, Liu Cuifen would not even help take care of the child for a single day, and would not let her touch the family's money.
It’s not like now, Gu Tingzhou handed over all the family assets to her, and Gu’s mother also took care of the children for her attentively.
"What's wrong?" Gu Tingzhou saw that her eyes were red and her brows were slightly furrowed, and he reached out to touch her face.
Song Chunman quickly turned her face away, wiped her eyes and laughed: "It's okay, I just got so much money at once, I was so excited that I wanted to cry."
Gu Tingzhou chuckled, "So easily moved? Then how do you plan to repay me?"
His voice was low and hoarse with a hint of teasing, and Song Chunman's ears turned red.
She glared at him angrily and pushed his arm: "Go take a shower now! You stink of alcohol. It stinks."
The meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious. Gu Tingzhou's heart was pounding like a drum, but he pretended to be calm on his face: "I'll be there soon."
As he said that, he opened the wardrobe, took out some clothes, and walked out of the room briskly.
After he left, Song Chunman quickly and carefully put the gift list and passbook into her box.
If you do the math, plus the money she saved herself, she already has more than 40,000 in savings. This is not just a small rich woman, she is clearly a real rich woman!
She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh twice, her eyebrows and eyes shining.
Just as she finished cleaning, the door was pushed open. Song Chunman looked up at the clock and saw that only ten minutes had passed. She asked in surprise, "So fast? Are you clean?"
Gu Tingzhou stood at the door, water droplets still hanging on his buzz cut. He hummed in agreement, "The hot water is always on, so I'll wash quickly. Don't worry, I've scrubbed my body inside and out, so I guarantee it's clean."
After that, he pointed in the direction of the bathroom and said, "The water is ready for you. Just add some cold water."
"Oh." Song Chunman picked up the folded pajamas and met his gaze when she looked up.
He was wearing a dark vest, the collar damp from moisture, his strong collarbone faintly visible, and military shorts that made his legs look straight and long.
The face looking over had a high nose bridge, a tight jawline, and thin lips pursed into a line, exuding an abstinent sexiness.
This figure is much better than Sun Wenbin's loose one. Song Chunman's heartbeat instantly became disordered, like a little rabbit in her arms, pounding against her chest.
She hurriedly lowered her head, clutching her pajamas and walked out: "Then I'm going to take a shower."
Gu Tingzhou hummed behind her, his voice concealing an imperceptible tension.
After she left the room, he raised his hand to press his hot ears and said, "Hurry up and wash, tonight is their wedding night."
But this waiting is like a stretched rubber band. The more you wait, the slower time goes.
Gu Tingzhou paced around the room twice, then sat on the edge of the bed stroking the quilt, and tidied up the new room. He had been waiting for nearly an hour without realizing it.
It took so long that he thought she was asleep in there.
When Song Chunman came out, she looked at the time and it was almost ten o'clock.
The man sat on the bed and said in a rather resentful tone: "You took a long time to wash."
Song Chunman pointed at her hair and walked over, "I washed my hair, so I'm a little slow."
The room was filled with warm light. Her jet-black hair hung down, making her face look bright and charming, which made Gu Tingzhou's mouth dry.
He unconsciously touched the hair by her ear, which was almost dry, and said slowly, "I can wipe it for you later."
Song Chunman let out a soft "Oh". The place where his fingertips brushed against the tip of her ear felt like sparks had fallen, and the heat penetrated into her heart along her skin.
The two of them just sat there on the edge of the bed, their eyes met and then slightly shifted, and when they looked up again, the panic in each other's eyes was filled with shame.
Neither of them was a child anymore, they both knew what was going to happen next, the air was filled with an ambiguous warm fragrance, even their heartbeats became exceptionally loud, "bang bang" hitting their eardrums.
At this moment, the wall clock suddenly struck "Dang", bringing the two back to their senses.
They both looked up at the same time. It was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Gu Tingzhou took a deep breath and looked at Song Chunman, his voice slightly tense: "It's ten o'clock, let's... go to bed?"
Song Chunman nodded, her fingertips trembling slightly as they gripped the corner of her clothes.
Although this was her second marriage, during the four years of her marriage to Sun Wenbin, he always thought she was dirty, and they slept in separate rooms almost every night. It was more like strangers sharing a house than husband and wife.
The lights were not turned off, and Gu Tingzhou lay down beside her, causing the bed to shake slightly.
Song Chunman subconsciously moved closer to the bed, but her arm still accidentally touched his arm.
The arms that were boiling with soup and the protruding blue veins were full of power.
Her heart suddenly rose to her throat and even her breathing became lighter.
Gu Tingzhou noticed her nervousness, tilted his head to look at her tense profile, couldn't help but chuckle, and called her softly, "Song Chunman."
Song Chunman closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but her eyelashes were trembling slightly. She responded vaguely, "Hmm?"
"Are you nervous?" There was a smile in his voice, like a feather gently scratching my heart.
Song Chunman stiffened her neck and said stubbornly, "No."
As soon as she finished speaking, the mattress beside her moved slightly, and Gu Tingzhou moved towards her. His warm breath brushed against her ear. His voice was low and hoarse: "Then just like four years ago, you took the initiative to sleep with me, right?"
The chaotic scene four years ago suddenly popped into Song Chunman's mind. She opened her eyes abruptly, and her face felt as hot as if it were on fire.
The two of them were already close to each other. She could clearly feel the strong muscles on his body, and the body temperature that seeped through the clothes, which made her bones weak.
She opened her mouth and turned to look at the man with a somewhat coquettish look, "I am... different now than I was then."
"What's the difference?" Gu Tingzhou's smile fell on her neck, bringing a little tickle.
"I was drugged at that time..." Song Chunman's voice became smaller and smaller. "Besides, today is also the first time for me. You are a man, you..."
Before she could finish the rest of the words, Gu Tingzhou suddenly turned sideways, put one hand behind her ear, and pressed down with his hot lips.
It was not a superficial attempt. With a desire that had been suppressed for too long, he kissed her quickly and deeply, as if he wanted to rub her whole body into his bones and blood.
Song Chunman's breath was instantly swallowed by him, and her mind went blank. Only the crisp scent of soapberry between his lips and teeth and her own heartbeat like a drum remained.
She put her hands on his chest and tried to push him away, but he held her waist tighter.
Those hands were broad and strong, with thin calluses from years of holding guns. They gently took off her pajamas and stroked her back, as if to comfort her, but also as if to urge her on.
It was unknown how long it took before Gu Tingzhou moved back a little, resting his forehead against hers, their noses rubbing against each other, their breaths mingling.
He looked at her red eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm a man, so I have to do it, right?"
Song Chunman looked into his deep eyes, where her appearance was reflected.
The tension in her heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by a solid warmth.
She smiled, raised her hands and gently wrapped them around his neck, then raised her head and kissed him.
The moonlight outside the window quietly flowed into the bridal room, casting a hazy glow on the red bedding.
In the charming light and shadow, the intertwined figures of the two people swayed gently on the bright red quilt, like flowers quietly blooming in the dark night.
This night, there is no haze of the past, only the long-lasting stability and sweetness of the years to come.
