Free Web NovelChapter 2653: Chapter 137
If it weren’t for the matters concerning Li Shan and Li Mengru, she definitely wouldn’t have so readily agreed to the Ye Family’s proposed date, nor would she have agreed to do it this way. From an outsider’s perspective, it might seem that the Li Family doesn’t value this daughter.
But she’s also afraid that dreams may change over time; three years is too long, who knows what might happen. In her view, men with good conditions naturally have many admirers, and some don’t even have a chance.
Now that there’s an opportunity, it should be seized early. As for filial piety, it’s the same principle as Buddhist worship; as long as it’s heartfelt, it’s enough.
"Great, great, it’s just wonderful!" Ms. Wang couldn’t stop smiling at the sight of the two dressed in wedding attire.
It’s the first time she’s seen a grandchild in wedding clothes, they truly look beautiful!
She was also pleased with Ye Haoxuan’s arrangements, having really witnessed him in wedding attire.
As the newlyweds were escorted into the bridal chamber, Ms. Wang happily wiped the corners of her eyes, thinking she might still see her great-grandchildren one day, how wonderful!
The candles glittered, the red bed curtains were warm, as their eyes met, there was tenderness all around.
She thought it would be an enchanting night, but then the lights went out, and afterwards, there was no movement.
Li Luru was a bit puzzled—was this how the bridal night was supposed to be spent? It seemed different from what her mother had described.
"Are you flipping pancakes? Still not sleeping?" Ye Haoxuan enclosed her waist, preventing her from continuing to move.
Li Luru stared at the ceiling, expressing that she couldn’t sleep—the bed suddenly being split in half felt a little uncomfortable.
"Quickly sleep, or you’ll struggle to wake up in the morning."
Ye Haoxuan thought to himself, he was really enduring it tonight; if she continued to toss and turn, he’d lose his self-control.
To be honest, he had planned to indulge for the night, but then thought it wouldn’t be as enjoyable without any sound from Li Luru. Besides, they would surely have another ceremony in the Capital City, so it would be better to save the bridal chamber for later; after all, the best things are always worth waiting for.
The next day, Ye Haoxuan and Li Luru went early to the Yang Family, kowtowed to Ms. Wang and others, only then completing the recognition ceremony.
Ms. Wang noticed the dark circles under Li Luru’s eyes and couldn’t help but blame Ye Haoxuan, "You child, have you no heart to care for your wife..."
"Pfft..." He understood his grandmother’s meaning, but he hadn’t done anything, had he?
Li Luru just pursed her lips and laughed.
"Look at you, already married, yet you seem less composed." Ms. Wang beckoned for a maid, "Quickly bring a towel to wipe him."
That evening, Ye Haoxuan and Li Luru dined with the elderly couple, and after sending Li Luru back to her room, Ye Haoxuan returned to continue the conversation with the elders.
"Grandma, are you sure you won’t join us in the Capital City?"
"No!" Ms. Wang decisively replied, "I’m already old, who knows how many days I have left? I plan to die at home."
Upon hearing this, Ye Haoxuan furrowed his brows tightly, "But with just you and Grandpa at home, we worry."
"What is there to worry about?" Ms. Wang waved her hand, "In a few days, your aunt will return."
Yang Dachuan also said, "We will not go to the Capital City; with your two uncles there, I and your grandmother are better off staying home and not causing gossip."
"Exactly, witnessing you younger ones get married is satisfaction enough." Ms. Wang chuckled, "I know what you’re thinking; you’re afraid your mother will scold you, aren’t you?"
Indeed, Ye Haoxuan was a bit concerned — after all, he had acted without prior approval.
No reply had been received from the Capital City yet.
