Mu Yazhe reached out and lightly touched the bridge of his nose, as though finding the situation a little tricky.
Qin Zhou, who was next to him, pushed him away. Jiang Shen and Lu Jinyu immediately came up to the door and started pounding on it.
âOpen the door! Open up!â
âBride, open the door!â
Youyou and Little Yichen hid the pair of red high heels, then came to the door. When they heard Mu Yazheâs voice, they chuckled.
âRed packet! Red packet!â
Hearing their voices, Mu Yazhe thought to himself, the two little rascals!
What happened to the agreed collaboration!?
He turned around and ordered Qin Zhou, âGive them red packets.â
Qin Zhou quickly squatted down and stuffed red packets through the crack below the door.
Little Yichen said greedily, âNot enough, not enough! You want to flick us off with just these miserable red packets?â
Qin Zhou continued stuffing the red packets through the slit beneath the door, but the door remained shut.
Jiang Shen pitifully shouted, âSister-in-law, take pity on Chief! Heâs been tortured by his brother-in-law. Heâs done a hundred push-ups and an equal number of sit-ups. Heâs so tired that heâs about to collapse!â
Yun Shishi, who was sitting on the bed, covered her mouth and giggled when she heard this.
She had long expected that Xiao Jie would not let him off so easily!
How could she not know? Hence, she sent Xiao Xue and Mu Xi to plead for mercy. Xiao Jie only let Mu Yazhe off after she had spoken up.
However, there was still another barrier when they arrived at the boudoir!
Jun Mo asked through the door, âGroom, do you know the brideâs body measurements?â
A commotion broke out outside the door, and Yun Shishi instantly blushed.
At weddings, the bridesmaids guard the door to the boudoir. When the groom turns up to receive the bride, the bridesmaids will quiz him to make things a little difficult. The questions are not normally harsh, rather they are just for the sake of creating a fun atmosphere.
Mu Yazhe smiled and replied, âI do, but itâs not convenient for me to reveal it.â
âIs it really inconvenient to reveal or is it that you donât know?â
âOf course I know.â
âTsk tsk tsk!â
Xiao Xue commented, âShishi, your husband really protects your interest.â
âThere are so many groomsmen outside the door; Chairman Mu definitely wonât divulge the information,â she added.
Jun Mo asked again, âGroom, the bride asks if you have anything to say to her?â
Yun Shishi immediately protested, âJun Mo, I didnât say that.â
âShh!â Jun Mo gestured for her to keep quiet.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Yazheâs gentle voice came from outside. âShishi, I love you!â
Such a direct confession was undoubtedly bold and passionate for a man who had always been reserved!
Qin Zhou, however, was not satisfied and said, âChairman Mu, if thatâs all you have to say. You wonât get past this!â
He smiled. âIâm not done yet!â
Everyone held their breath.
Then, the man continued unhurriedly, âIn the past, I only dared to say âI like youâ because the words âI love youâ were too foreign, too heavy-going. But from today onwards, I will tell you âI love youâ every day. Iâve never been good at expressing myself, and Iâve caused you to suffer many grievances! Along the way, weâve experienced many ups and downs. Because of my personality, Iâm always not good with words, and I donât know how to whisper sweet nothings. But, do you know? Every time I see you, my heart says âI love youâ, whether you hear it or not.â
Jun Mo and Xiao Xue looked at each other, touched by his confession.
Yun Shishi was also stunned and very touched. Her eyes reddened as she recalled snippets of their time together since the day they met. Scene after scene flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern.
