Jian Dan looked at her bridesmaid team⦠âYou guys did your makeup too beautifully! Youâre stealing the brideâs thunder!â They were already good-looking, and now with makeup and dressed in cocktail dresses, each one was indescribably beautiful.
âJian, your worries are completely unnecessary, okay!â Qin Rou spoke up directly.
âHow so?â
âBecause even if there are other beautiful girls around, Chu Li only has eyes for you.â Zi Yan actually chimed in.
Ever since Jian Dan returned, she had very little time with Zi Yan because she and Lu Ting had been traveling around the world, almost too happy to think of home.
âZi Yan, you havenât been back for many days, have you? How come youâve already started to pick up their bad habits?â
âHave I?â Zi Yan countered.
âNo!â Qin Rou answered for Jian Dan.
âHumph, you just know how to bully me! Iâm going to tell Uncle!â
âJian, you havenât even had breakfast this early in the morning, can we stop spreading dog food?â Mo Mo also joined in.
âOh right! Havenât had breakfast yet? What are we waiting for? Hurry up and get some!â When it came to eating, Jian Dan forgot everything else.
âBreakfast is ready, you guys just come over and eat once youâre done!â Granny knocked and came in to say.
âThank you, Granny, weâll come right away!â Jian Dan looked at Granny and smiled sweetly.
After they were all done, they went to the dining table and started eating the wine-sweetened glutinous rice balls Granny had handmade.
âMmm, so delicious, itâs been so long since I last ate Grannyâs handmade wine-sweetened glutinous rice balls!â Jian Dan said while eating.
âJian, be careful not to eat your lipstick.â
âIf I eat it, I eat it! Iâll just reapply it later!â Nothing could stop Jian Dan from seriously having her breakfast.
âLet Jian eat properly! After all, even if Jian doesnât wear makeup, sheâs the most beautiful in Mr. Chuâs eyes,â Shang Yujin spoke slowly.
After hearing Shang Yujinâs words, everyone present thought it made sense, so they let her be.
After finishing breakfast, Jian Dan contentedly yawned.
âIs there nothing left to do, then? Can I go back to sleep for a while?â She felt even sleepier after eating.
âNo way, havenât you seen what time it is!â Qin Rou was like a housekeeper, fussing over everything.
âJian, just hang in there!â Xiaoting moved closer to Jian Dan.
âAll right! Iâll try my best!â Jian Dan didnât know how long she could hold on.
Time ticked away second by second, and Jian Dan sat on the bed, continuously dozing off.
Finally~ someone knocked on the doorâ¦
The knock finally woke up this sleeping beauty, âIs it Uncle?â Jian Dan was about to get out of bed but was stopped by Qin Rou.
âYou canât get out of bed now! Just stay here, good and proper!â
âHow could we easily miss this rare chance to tease Chu Liyuan?â
âYou dare to prank Uncle too? You really are brave!â
âWhat do you know? This might be the only chance we get to give Chu Liyuan a hard time, and there are no rain checks on this one!â
âArenât you afraid of what Uncle mightâ¦â Jian Dan deliberately trailed off.
âWhy should we be scared when you are in our hands?â
âThe way you speak, itâs as if Iâm your hostage or something.â
âOf course not, at most youâre just a bargaining chip.â
âHow did I become your bargaining chip?â
âJian, be honest, donât you want to see what Mr. Chu looks like when heâs embarrassed?â Mo Mo raised an eyebrow and smirked.
âWellâ¦â
She had been married to Uncle for so long, and she hadnât really ever seen him look embarrassed, had she?
Little devils inside Jian Danâs heart were clamoringâ¦
âJian, your expression has already betrayed you!â Qin Rou threw a wet blanket over it.
Caught with her little scheme, Jian Dan laughed awkwardlyâ¦
