Chapter 148 I'm not a mistress, why shouldn't we have a wedding?
Bo Wei quickly stood up and held her grandmother's hand, trying to give her some support.
But then she remembered that her grandmother was a heroine who wore high heels, and she felt that her actions were a bit superfluous.
Everyone stood up and headed towards the restaurant.
Bo Wei then noticed that everyone was dressed quite formally.
Fortunately, she changed into the new dress that Li He had bought for her yesterday after get off work.
The Li family usually ate at a small dining table.
Today we used a long table, and dozens of dishes were served at once. The table setting was exquisite and comfortable, decorated with fresh flowers, making it a very ceremonial occasion.
"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I asked the chefs to prepare all their best dishes." Grandma still remembered what she had said that morning.
Bo Wei was somewhat flattered.
Before she came to the Li family, she had already prepared herself to be looked down upon.
But the reality was completely the opposite of what I imagined.
The whole family was there, dressed formally and behaving kindly. Although it was a rushed affair, the elders still gave us a gift. Dinner was also quite elaborate.
Her anxiety subsided, and she tried to treat the situation with a calm and composed attitude, neither pretentious nor self-conscious.
The Li family doesn't have any grand rules when they eat; they're just like any other family. They can talk whenever they want and pick up food as they please, but they all eat in a rather elegant manner.
Throughout the entire process, Li He acted as her helper in serving the food.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room chatting.
As the mother-in-law, Xie Wanning couldn't be careless. "You two got your marriage certificate, and we only found out today. Does your family know yet?" Xie Wanning asked. "Let's find some time for the two families to meet and have a meal together."
Bo Wei remained silent, unsure how to begin talking about her and her family's situation, and also reluctant to do so.
To outsiders, her actions and thoughts might be seen as childish revenge and affectation.
Li He spoke up, "The betrothal gifts have already been given, so let's skip the formalities for now and talk about it later."
The Li family members were all shrewd, so they didn't ask any further questions.
Xie Wanning: "Okay, we'll follow your arrangements. Weiwei, when are you planning to hold the wedding?"
Unable to make up her mind, Bo Wei asked Li He, "Should we have a wedding?"
She's fine with anything.
If they were to hold a wedding, given their family's circumstances, many social celebrities would definitely be in attendance, which makes me a little socially anxious.
Li He scoffed, "I'm not a mistress, so why shouldn't I have a wedding? Why not a big one! Let your girlfriends bring all their cats and dogs, and I'll set up a few separate tables and serve the best dog food."
Bo Wei: ...
Xie Wanning glanced at him and said, "What mistress? That's nonsense."
Shen Peiwen touched her nose.
Li Zhixian silently looked at her second brother.
Li Xiao glanced at him indifferently, "Getting married can make people revert to their primal nature? You're acting like a monkey jumping around."
Li He looked back.
Li Xiao guessed his next question, "The fighting room tonight?"
Li He gave a mocking laugh, "Men without wives are idle and have no time. Get lost."
Li Xiao: ...
He locked the fighting room that night, telling no one to use it again.
Li He said openly and honestly, "Mom, give me the most luxurious wedding. Our family has given away so many gifts over the years, it's time to take them back."
Li Qianrun agreed with his youngest son, "Hehe is right, it's time to take back the gifts we've been giving for so many years."
Xie Wanning: "...Our family has four members. If they don't accept it, they don't accept it. In just a few years, we might get back all the principal and interest."
Li He: "Who said four? If my child is born, I'll have to have them too!"
The family: ...
Xie Wanning looked at Bo Wei suspiciously, "Pregnant?"
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Bo Wei.
Bo Wei's face flushed red, and she lowered her head, saying softly, "No."
How could that be!
My new husband is a complete idiot, what should I do if he wants to hit me?
Li He came to her rescue, saying, "It's only been a few days, even if you were pregnant, it wouldn't be detectable."
Bo Wei was furious. In despair, she got up and covered his mouth, saying, "Stop talking."
The two men made the old lady laugh out loud.
As they chatted, Bo Wei and the Li family gradually got to know each other.
The two stayed there that night.
Li He's room always has a domineering CEO style; it's everywhere.
This place, compared to where they live now, bears more traces of life, or rather, traces of their growth.
Bo Wei walked around the room and saw his collection of car models, trophies, and even a ceramic BJD doll in the display case...
This ceramic doll has no face; its face is completely blank.
She had a snow-white body, large breasts, a slender waist, and long legs. She had long black hair and wore very revealing clothes. Only two breasts could be seen on her chest, and her skirt was slit up to her waist.
Bo Wei: ...
Li He, what a sense of aesthetics!
Ah, yes, that's his aesthetic sense.
After all, no one is as lewd as him; in bed, he's full of lewd tricks and vulgar language...
The more familiar you get with him, the more you discover the rogue nature beneath his elegant exterior.
She looked at the doll...
I don't know why, but I feel like this doll looks a bit like me.
I was a little startled; I actually thought a faceless doll looked like me.
Retreat, retreat, retreat.
But as I thought about it, could Li He really be that bored?
The doll has obvious signs of handcrafting; it's clearly handmade.
Would he be so bored that he would make a doll himself and put it in his collection cabinet?
Apart from this doll, all the other collectibles around it looked incredibly expensive.
This item must have special significance for him to be displayed and treasured here.
A girl I used to like?
Or does he simply like this type of guy?
She felt like this doll because he liked this type, and then he chose himself according to the type he liked?
"What are you looking at?" Li He came out of the shower, drying his hair as he walked to her side.
"Did you make this doll?" she asked, pointing to the display case.
Li He paused in drying his hair, then continued, "Mm."
Bo Wei caught a strange emotion in his eyes, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
"Why don't you have a face?"
Li He raised his hand and touched the doll, an unconscious tenderness welling up in his eyes. "I can't mold it."
Bo Wei took in that gentle look, then looked away, her expression somewhat aloof, her voice calm, "Oh."
She turned and walked away, picked up the new pajamas Xie Wanning had given her, and silently headed towards the bathroom.
Li He dried his hair and looked at the doll.
Tsk.
I forgot to put it away.
never mind.
He picked up the doll and stroked its face with his fingertips.
He glanced at Bo Wei's retreating figure and chuckled softly, "You're giving me face now."
After saying that, he put it back and continued the display.
