"Then..." Zhong Mingwei took the comb from Meiya's hand again, and combed her hair skillfully, while speaking softly to the sad-looking girl in the mirror. "My wife is really naturally beautiful. If a husband doesn't look at her for a while every day, how can he be worthy of the matchmaker's matchmaking?"
"Bah! You're such a smooth talker." Meiya spat at the man in the mirror, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
…
The gift that Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya prepared for Pang Yi and Xiao An was a pair of white jade peace buckles. At this time, the pair of white jade peace buckles were in Zhong Mingwei's hands. He stood in front of Xiao An's door with the small gift box in his hand, paused, and then reached out and knocked on the door.
Normally, a grown man shouldn't enter the bride's room at this time, but Mei Ya insisted that he personally deliver the gift to Xiao An, so Zhong Mingwei had no choice but to come over with the gift.
"Who is it?" Xiao An's voice came from inside.
"It's me." Zhong Mingwei said.
There was no more sound from inside. Then Zhong Mingwei heard the footsteps becoming clearer and clearer, and then the door in front of him was opened from the inside, and Xiao An, dressed in red, stood in front of him. She looked at him in surprise: "Sir, why are you here?"
"I'm here to give you and Pang Yi a gift." Zhong Mingwei handed the gift box to Xiao An with both hands. He looked at the girl who was first surprised and then her eyes were red. He couldn't help but feel a strong sense of apology in his heart. When he spoke again, his tone was solemn, "An Hailin, I'm sorry."
What are you sorry about?
Did he never even look at the young lady who happily married into the East Palace that year? Or did he never enter the bridal chamber at all, leaving the young lady sitting on the bed with a phoenix crown and bridal robe weighing more than ten kilograms on her head until her eyes were swollen from crying? Or did he force her to perform that ugly and heartbreaking scene even though he knew that the young lady and Pang Yi were in love?
Zhong Mingwei couldn't explain it. But he really felt sorry. He had always wanted to find a chance to apologize to Xiao An, but he never found a suitable opportunity. Until today, Mei Ya forced him to come and give Xiao An a gift. He finally got the chance and finally understood Mei Ya's painstaking efforts.
"Master, you don't have to say sorry." Xiao An looked at Zhong Mingwei. Her eyes, which were always timid, were so calm at this moment, and she even had a faint smile on her face. "I should thank you."
Thank you for marrying me that year and fulfilling my dream. Thank you for accepting me without any reluctance, giving me the opportunity and confidence to be true to myself again when I meet the one I love, and to hold the hand he extends to me.
So Zhong Mingwei, thank you very much.
"Come in, it should be Pang Yi who is here to pick up the bride." Hearing the noises of cheering and playing from the front yard, Zhong Mingwei nodded to Xiao An and stuffed the gift box into her hands, smiling and saying, "Close the door tightly and make Pang Yi suffer. Don't let him in easily."
"Yes, I know." Xiao An suddenly smiled shyly, bowed to Zhong Mingwei, and then closed the door.
After Zhong Mingwei left the courtyard, he heard the noise in the front yard getting louder and louder. He walked to the front yard holding the wall, wanting to join in the fun and see how Pang Yi was embarrassing himself. It was strange to say, he used to hate crowds and noise, but now he would rush to wherever there were a lot of people. Not only did he like to chat about all sorts of things with Gu Changlin while eating melon seeds, he could even play chess with Kong Wenjie and Kong Wenmin while chatting nonsense and drinking half a pot of jasmine wine.
