Attending the Wedding

All right, silly wife, your husband isn't that stupid. Li Yang smiled and wrapped his arms around Xiao Dan's soft body, pulling her into his embrace.

Go to sleep. Li Yang mumbled, then stopped reacting.

Xiao Dan nodded after hearing that. She obediently closed her eyes, stretched a leg over Li Yang, and slowly fell asleep.

A few days before Li Yang's brother's wedding, Li Yang took two days off in advance for Zhao Tiantian.

These days, weddings were held in hotels, and there was basically no work that required extra hands. Still, out of brotherly affection, Li Yang was quite attentive.

Xiao Dan had also taken the day off for the wedding banquet. Li Yang told her she didn't need to come back as early as him, since there was nothing much to do anyway.

On the night before Li Yang left, after showering, Xiao Dan was like a lively little rabbit, impatiently getting intimate with him. After several days of "ceasefire," Li Yang's "little flame" was instantly ignited by Xiao Dan's fiery, passionate body!

Who knew how long had passed before Li Yang slowly woke up. Seeing Xiao Dan busy at the chopping board, he walked straight up behind her and, still wanting more, wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

Feeling Li Yang's tenderness, Xiao Dan obediently turned her head and kissed him...

All right, honey. After work today, I'll come home to find you. Rest for the day first. Xiao Dan pulled away from Li Yang's lips, her little face slightly flushed as she leaned against his chest and spoke softly.

Okay, wife. Love you. Only then did Li Yang release Xiao Dan's slender waist.

You're so annoying. Xiao Dan gave a bashful, flirtatious pout. Then she carried the Cold Beef Salad she had specially prepared for Li Yang to the coffee table, served two bowls of Red Date and Goji Berry Millet Porridge, and set them down to cool.

After getting dressed, the two of them went to the hallway to wash their faces and brush their teeth.

After breakfast, Li Yang still took the initiative to wash the dishes. Xiao Dan felt incomparably happy at his considerate care.

After locking the door, they left hand in hand. Li Yang walked Xiao Dan all the way to the entrance of her shop, letting her coworkers see what a romantic gentleman her boyfriend was. They all looked at Xiao Dan with envy.

After the two said goodbye, Xiao Dan's coworkers swarmed around her as soon as she entered the shop, chattering away and asking all sorts of gossip-filled questions. Xiao Dan generously told them about Li Yang and said she would treat them another day.

After happily chatting with her coworkers, Xiao Dan began her day's work. She hummed a little tune while arranging the products on the shelves. Then her phone suddenly rang. It was a text from Li Yang: "Wife, I miss you." A sweet smile rose to Xiao Dan's lips, and she replied, "I miss you too, husband. Be careful on the road, and be good at home while you wait for me~"

All morning, Xiao Dan remained immersed in a happy atmosphere and was especially motivated at work. During her lunch break, she ate with her coworkers, who kept teasing her about her sweet love with Li Yang. Xiao Dan smiled shyly, though her heart was filled with longing for him.

When Li Yang got home, there really wasn't much to do. He helped his mother clean up the area outside his brother's house. Tomorrow was the big day.

All the aunts and uncles had arrived early. Food and drinks were everywhere, while the children ran and jumped around as if it were New Year's, making the place incredibly lively.

Li Yang's sister-in-law was from a nearby village, not far away. She and his brother worked at the same workplace, so they knew each other well.

For this wedding, his brother had spent less than fifty thousand yuan in total, even less than expected. Their mother was so happy she could barely close her mouth, handing out wedding candy everywhere as if it cost nothing.

The betrothal gift had only been ten thousand yuan, and the bride's family had used it to buy household appliances before returning them. There was no need to worry about the wedding banquet either; the gift money they received would definitely cover it.

They had only done a simple renovation of the room. The rest of the money had gone toward miscellaneous small expenses.

Li Yang also diligently served tea and poured water for the elders, keeping himself busily occupied.

Before long, Xu Rui came strolling over, the bandage on his head already gone.

Why are you here? Li Yang looked up at Xu Rui. After not seeing him for a few days, this guy's belly had gotten quite a bit bigger. It seemed he hadn't held back on eating.

There was nothing to do at home, so I came to see if there was anything I could help with. Xu Rui spoke casually, picked up a cigarette from the table in the courtyard, lit it, and took a satisfying drag.

Come on, let's sit inside. Li Yang grabbed a handful of candy and handed it over. Xu Rui unceremoniously stuffed it into his pocket.

How's the injury? After sitting down, Li Yang asked.

It'll take another half month to heal. If I went to work looking like this, wouldn't I scare all the customers away? Xu Rui joked casually.

His face was still a little swollen, and the wound on his head was now covered with a smaller bandage instead of being wrapped around in a huge circle like before, which had looked rather frightening.

Should I come tomorrow? Xu Rui asked Li Yang somewhat awkwardly.

Li Yang knew what he was thinking and quickly replied, Why are you being so polite? No need. Rest well at home. Just come early when I hold my own wedding.

All right, then. If you need help with anything, just say the word. Xu Rui answered earnestly.

Oh, right. Have you seen Yue Xiaodan lately? Xu Rui asked unwillingly.

No, I've been busy to death. Li Yang brushed him off casually. How have things been between you two lately?

Sigh, don't mention it. It's been like that. I called her a few times when I had nothing to do, and we only chatted briefly. There hasn't been any progress. Xu Rui looked dejected.

Take it slow. Girls are all the same. Who gets married the moment they meet? Li Yang comforted him a little.

You're right. I'm not in a hurry. I've waited so many years already, so what am I afraid of? All right, go on with your work. I won't disturb you anymore. If you see Yue Xiaodan, put in a good word for me and help improve her impression of me. Xu Rui stood up and said with a smile.

Damn, why are you being polite with me? Do you even need to tell me that? Li Yang joked with a grin.

The two then said goodbye at the front gate.

Thinking that Xiao Dan would be coming to stay at his house that night, Li Yang hurriedly got on his bicycle and went to the market in Xindian to prepare all sorts of women's necessities for her in advance.

He bought slippers and pajamas. Afraid she might not have any spare underwear, Li Yang also went to an underwear shop and picked out two summer lace sets for Xiao Dan, one black and one white, making sure she would be satisfied wearing them.

Only then did he happily return home. After putting everything in his room, he came back outside.

At six in the afternoon, Li Yang hurried to the hospital entrance to pick Xiao Dan up. Before long, he saw a Route 50 Bus slowly approaching.

Through the window, he spotted Xiao Dan's beautiful figure. She waved at Li Yang, then hurried toward the back of the bus.

After she got off, Li Yang saw that his silly wife was carrying large and small bags in both hands, with her own bag slung over her shoulder as well.

Li Yang hurriedly took them from her and saw that they were all clothes and boxed items.

Husband, I'm exhausted. Xiao Dan was sweating all over and looked pitiful. She was still wearing high heels and hadn't changed out of her work uniform.

You didn't change clothes, wife? Li Yang asked painfully as he held the bags.

I didn't go home. I was afraid you'd wait too long, so I rushed here after buying everything.

I bought bedding for your brother—sheets, duvet covers, pillows, everything. I didn't know what else to buy. Xiao Dan had thought things through so carefully that Li Yang was deeply touched. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her several times before finally letting go.

You're so annoying. Passersby are watching. Xiao Dan shyly pushed Li Yang away, then foolishly smiled and kissed him a few more times before stopping.

After returning home, they put everything away and greeted his mother. Then Li Yang took her to a nearby women's clothing store and bought her several outfits. Xiao Dan was delighted, pulling Li Yang along as cheerfully as a little bird, chirping nonstop.

In the end, Li Yang chose two changes of clothes for her: a Pink Dress, as well as a black short skirt with a white top, matched with Crystal Sandals. Xiao Dan loved Li Yang's eye for putting outfits together and liked every single thing.

After paying, they returned home. His mother had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them, while his brother was entertaining the helpers for tomorrow at his own house.

Li Yang ate at home with his mother and Xiao Dan. His father was in high spirits and hadn't returned from his brother's house. He had probably already eaten there.

Girl, you came all this way. Why did you bring things too? After hearing about the items Xiao Dan had bought, his mother warmly spoke out of courtesy.

It's all right, Auntie. I'm Li Yang's girlfriend too. It's only what I should do. Xiao Dan replied politely. His mother was so happy, like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law. Both of her sons had their own little families now, so as an elder, she was naturally thrilled.

After dinner, Li Yang took Xiao Dan to his brother's house so she could familiarize herself with it. Since it was nighttime, they weren't afraid of running into anyone. The two of them openly went to his brother's house with his mother.

They stayed until nine before going back. The place was full of people drinking and was a complete mess, so it wasn't convenient for a girl to stay there. Li Yang took her home early.

His father and mother still hadn't returned, so Li Yang took Xiao Dan into their simple bathing room to wash up. The water heated in a large gasoline barrel on the roof was quite warm. They happily took a bath, then hurried back to his room like thieves.

Li Yang took out the pajamas he had bought for Xiao Dan, a white lace set. Xiao Dan loved them so much that she immediately put them on. After Li Yang had influenced her, she had grown to enjoy sleeping naked. Especially during the hot summer, it was truly comfortable and relaxing.

Xiao Dan also looked over the underwear Li Yang had bought, and a warm feeling rose in her heart. She knew perfectly well that it was all filled with his love and care for her.

All right, she decided she would no longer suppress that little desire deep in her heart. Instead, she would openly use her actions to convey her feelings.

Yue Xiaodan passionately kissed his lips, wrapping her arms tightly around his body as if she wanted to knead him into herself.

After the passion, the two quickly fell asleep in each other's arms...

Li Yang carefully covered her with a thin towel blanket before going to sleep with satisfaction.

Early the next morning, Li Yang was awakened by Xiao Dan, who was full of energy.

Husband. Hurry up. Xiao Dan urged casually as she fastened her bra.

Got it, wife.

Today was the joyous occasion, so Li Yang did not dare dawdle. He quickly tidied himself up and changed into the new clothes Xiao Dan had bought him yesterday.

Xiao Dan also put on the Pink Dress and Crystal Sandals. It was June, and the sky had brightened early.

After the two washed up in the courtyard, Li Yang's father and mother had already gone to his brother's house. Carrying the things Xiao Dan had bought, Li Yang took her to the new home.

Neighbors gradually arrived from all directions. Li Yang introduced Xiao Dan to his brother, and after they warmly exchanged greetings, he took her to eat something before getting busy. Xiao Dan also politely followed his mother to help with women's work.

She earnestly played the role of a family member. Before long, all the aunts and uncles learned that Li Yang had a girlfriend. Xiao Dan was somewhat flattered as she accepted all the family's enthusiastic greetings.

Finally, it was time to pick up the bride. Xiao Dan wanted to follow Li Yang and join in the fun, so he brought her into the car with him.

Li Yang sat with several younger cousins. Seeing their future cousin-in-law, the younger boys teased their cousin, telling him to treat them to wedding drinks soon. Xiao Dan laughed so hard she kept covering her mouth.

They soon arrived at the village where his sister-in-law lived. Xiao Dan followed Li Yang like a shadow, afraid she would lose him the moment she looked away. Li Yang simply let her be. After all, this silly wife had eyes only for him.

When it was time to knock on the door, Li Yang took the lead. After trying every method he could think of, he finally got the door open. A crowd rushed inside like bandits, making the scene incredibly lively. Caught up in the excitement, Xiao Dan happily danced around as if she were the one getting married.

After entering the room, Li Yang saw the beautifully dressed bride standing in a row with the bridesmaids. According to custom, the groom had to find the bride's shoes before he could take her away.

Li Yang began searching all around the room, while the other brothers helped look. Xiao Dan watched curiously, wondering where the shoes could possibly be hidden.

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, Xiao Dan suddenly noticed a bulge behind the curtains. She walked over and lifted them, only to find the shoes hidden there.

Li Yang's brother, Li Guang, happily picked up the shoes, put them on the bride, then carried her out of the room. Firecrackers and cheers rang out outside as the wedding officially began.

Afterward, Xiao Dan followed Li Yang back into the car and returned home with the wedding procession. In the village, some people wanted to share in the good fortune and used all kinds of tricks to block the wedding cars. It was a common rural custom, nothing unusual. Someone had been assigned to handle it, and all it took was tossing them a pack of cigarettes and some wedding candy before they quickly drove out of the village.

The wedding hotel was only a few kilometers from the village entrance. According to custom, they first returned home to go through the ceremony.

As soon as they reached the street by his brother's house, Xiao Dan was happily discussing the fun of the wedding with Li Yang when she suddenly threw herself into his arms and stopped moving.

What's wrong, wife? Li Yang wrapped an arm around Xiao Dan's slender waist and asked in confusion.

Nothing, husband. I just saw Xu Rui's parents looking this way. Xiao Dan mumbled indistinctly from against Li Yang's chest.

Let me see. Li Yang turned and looked outside through the car window. Oh, I see. A group of people on the street were just gathering to watch the excitement. He suddenly understood. Xu Rui's parents were merely passing by and had no other special intentions. This scene had probably frightened Yue Xiaodan, making her think she would be discovered if she appeared here...

What a false alarm!

Silly girl.

Li Yang casually pulled Yue Xiaodan into his arms!
