With no one in the way, Chu Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Lan looked at Chu Xiaolan and chuckled.
"If you don't like it, then make her leave. You're also a resident here!"
Xia Lan's words made Chu Xiaolan pause, and she looked up at Chen's mother.
Chen's mother nodded at Chu Xiaolan with amusement.
"Even Lanlan knows, how could you let her bully you? If Xiaohua finds out, he'll probably throw a tantrum again."
"I...I don't know."
Chu Xiaolan lowered her head.
"You'll understand later?"
Xia Lan chuckled and sat down in front of Chu Xiaolan.
"Um."
Chu Xiaolan nodded gently.
Her docile appearance makes you want to pet her.
"Okay, be a good girl and don't move. I'll redo your makeup! I promise you'll be the most beautiful bride."
Xia Lan smiled at Chu Xiaolan, picked up the cosmetics beside her, and began to do Chu Xiaolan's makeup.
Chu Xiaolan obediently closed her eyes, only knowing that Xia Lan was quickly applying cosmetics to her face, sometimes lightly dabbing, sometimes gently stroking.
As the only person who could see Chu Xiaolan's transformation, Chen's mother, seeing Xia Lan's messy application of makeup, also said that she had never seen anyone do makeup like that before.
She seemed flustered, but it was as if she played a role in every step.
It was too profound for her to understand.
"alright."
If I say ten minutes, then it's ten minutes.
When Xia Lan stopped, indicating that it was finally over, Chen's mother immediately looked at Chu Xiaolan.
Chu Xiaolan slowly opened her eyes, and for a moment, Chen's mother felt as if she were in a daze.
Chu Xiaolan's appearance is full of Eastern mystery and grace, and her eyes and brows reveal a unique spirituality.
Her skin was as white as jade, with a bright and clear glow. Her face was beautiful and her features were exquisite. In particular, her big, bright eyes seemed to speak volumes, conveying a captivating expression.
Her skin was smooth and delicate, with a slight pinkish glow, and her lips were red and full, giving one the urge to kiss her.
Even Chen's mother was confused. Although Chu Xiaolan was already quite good-looking, Xia Lan's embellishments amplified all of Chu Xiaolan's advantages.
Especially her big, bright eyes; Chu Xiaolan was naturally a shy person.
Those innocent eyes are enough to confuse anyone who looks at them.
"It's so beautiful."
"After seeing you, I even want to marry you."
Chen's mother stepped forward with a smile and praised Chu Xiaolan.
Chu Xiaolan wore a bright red dress, and Chen's mother slowly took out a cloth bag from her bosom and opened it under the curious gazes of Xia Lan and Chu Xiaolan.
Inside, there lay a jade bracelet.
“This was passed down to me by Chen Hao’s mother. It is a daughter-in-law’s gift passed down from generation to generation in the Chen family.”
"Now, I will pass this bracelet on to you!"
"I hope you will have many children for the Chen family and enjoy happiness and good health."
Chen's mother solemnly placed the bracelet in Chu Xiaolan's hand.
"I will, Mom."
Chu Xiaolan looked at Chen's mother and nodded seriously.
"Keep this bracelet safe; no one can see it yet!"
Chen's mother advised that there are still some people watching these things, and it would be best if they could stay out of the light of day.
After saying that, Chen's mother took out several bags.
Xia Lan looked at Chen's mother curiously, only to see Chen's mother casually pull a gold bracelet out of the bag.
"Here, this is for you. Put it on."
Chen's mother then took out a pair of earrings and a brooch.
“I was planning to prepare some better ones for you, but your dad said that these are fine for you to keep privately, and you can only wear these.”
"So as not to be targeted by others."
Chen's mother sighed regretfully.
Xia Lan looked at the gold bracelet and earrings on Chu Xiaolan's wrist and thought that these were also easy targets for covetous eyes.
"After the wedding, I'll pass all my jewelry to you."
Chen's mother patted Chu Xiaolan's hand and smiled.
"Thank you, Mom."
Chu Xiaolan held the bracelet in her hand and smiled.
This is Chen's mother accepting her, so how could she not accept it?
"Alright, they should be here soon. I'll go keep watch at the door."
Chen's mother glanced at Chu Xiaolan and liked her makeup more and more.
He happily walked out, ready to show off his daughter-in-law.
She's really beautiful; even she likes her.
"Lanlan, thank you."
"I feel like I'm dreaming."
"It feels so unreal."
"It feels like I could wake up at any moment and still be in that shabby little rented room..."
Chu Xiaolan looked at Xia Lan. She was still a little confused about getting married today, but she felt unusually calm.
It all felt like yesterday; everything made her feel like she was dreaming.
Not true.
Can she really find happiness?
Xia Lan held Chu Xiaolan's hand, did not answer her question, and sat quietly with her.
"Knock knock knock, wife! Open the door quickly, I've come to get you!"
Suddenly, firecrackers went off outside the door, followed by Chen Hua knocking on the door.
"So you want to see the bride so easily? You'll have to get past me first..."
Xia Lan walked to the door with a smile and greeted Chen Hua.
Chen Hua's smile froze, as he had expected to receive his bride soon.
"Sister, you're my own sister, don't treat your brother like this! Please open the door..."
Chen Hua shouted, his voice filled with anguish.
Xia Lan chuckled softly.
"You just need to answer a few questions for me quickly!"
"Dear sister, tell me! The auspicious time is almost here, dear sister~"
Chen Hua immediately told Xia Lan to quickly come up with a question.
