"Alright, silly wife, your husband isn't that dumb," Li Yang said with a smile, wrapping his arms around Xiao Dan's soft body and pulling her into his embrace.

"Let's sleep," Li Yang mumbled, then fell silent.

Xiao Dan nodded after hearing him, obediently closed her eyes, and stretched out her leg to rest on Li Yang's body, slowly drifting off to sleep.

Soon, it was just a few days before Li Yang's older brother's wedding. Li Yang had already requested two days off for Zhao Tiantian.

Weddings are usually held in hotels now, so there's basically not much work for people to do. Out of brotherly affection, Li Yang still showed a lot of care.

Xiao Dan also took the day off for the wedding banquet. Li Yang told her she didn't need to come back early like him, as there wasn't much to do anyway.

On the night Li Yang was leaving, after taking a shower, Xiao Dan was like a lively little rabbit, eager to get intimate with Li Yang. After a few days of "truce," Li Yang's "little flame" was instantly ignited by Xiao Dan's passionate and alluring body!

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yang slowly woke up. Seeing Xiao Dan busy at the cutting board, he walked directly behind her and, still not having had enough, wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

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

"Alright, husband, I'll come home to find you after I get off work today. You rest for a day first," Xiao Dan separated her lips from Li Yang's, her little face slightly flushed as she leaned against his chest and whispered softly.

"Okay, wife, I love you," Li Yang then released Xiao Dan's slender waist.

"You're annoying," Xiao Dan said with a charming pout, her heart fluttering. She then picked up the Cold Beef Salad she had specially prepared for Li Yang and placed it on the coffee table. She also served two bowls of Red Date and Goji Berry Millet Porridge and placed them there to cool.

The two of them got dressed and went to the hallway together to wash their faces and brush their teeth.

After eating, Li Yang still took the initiative to wash the dishes. Xiao Dan felt incredibly happy because of Li Yang's thoughtful care.

The two of them locked the door and went out hand in hand. Li Yang walked Xiao Dan all the way to the entrance of her store, allowing her colleagues to see Xiao Dan's romantic and gentlemanly boyfriend. They all cast envious glances at Xiao Dan.

After the two said goodbye, the colleagues swarmed towards Xiao Dan, who had just entered the store, chattering and gossiping with all sorts of questions. Xiao Dan was very generous and talked about Li Yang's situation, saying she would treat them to a meal another day.

Xiao Dan happily chatted with her colleagues, then started her day's work. She hummed a little tune while tidying the goods on the shelves. Just then, her phone suddenly rang. It was a text message from Li Yang: "Wife, I miss you." A sweet smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of Xiao Dan's mouth. She replied, "I miss you too, husband. Be careful on the road, and wait for me obediently at home~"

Throughout the morning, Xiao Dan was immersed in a happy atmosphere and worked with extra enthusiasm. During her lunch break, she ate with her colleagues, and everyone kept teasing her about her sweet love with Li Yang. Xiao Dan smiled shyly, but her heart was full of longing for Li Yang.

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

His aunts and uncles had also arrived early, and there was food and drinks everywhere. The children were running and jumping around like it was New Year's, making it very lively.

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

For this wedding, his brother spent less than fifty thousand yuan in total, which was less than expected. His mother was so happy she couldn't stop smiling, handing out wedding candies everywhere as if they were free.

The bride price was only ten thousand yuan, which her family used to buy household appliances and then returned. There was no need to worry about the banquet; the money received from gifts would definitely be enough.

They simply renovated the room; the rest of the money was spent on other small expenses.

Li Yang was also busy at home, attentively serving tea and water to the elders, enjoying himself immensely!

After a while, Xu Rui, with the gauze removed from his head, walked over swaying slightly.

"Why are you here?" Li Yang looked up and saw Xu Rui. After a few days, this guy's belly had gotten a lot bigger. It seemed he hadn't eaten little.

"I'm bored at home, thought I'd see if I could help out with something," Xu Rui said casually, picking up a cigarette from the table in the yard and lighting it, taking a satisfying puff.

"Let's go, sit inside," Li Yang grabbed a handful of candies and handed them over. Xu Rui didn't stand on ceremony and stuffed them into his pocket.

"How's your injury?" Li Yang asked after sitting down.

"It'll take another half a month to heal. If I go to work like this, won't I scare all the customers away?" Xu Rui joked casually.

His face was still a bit swollen, and the wound on his head was covered with local gauze, unlike the large bandage that looked quite scary at first.

"Should I come tomorrow?" Xu Rui asked Li Yang a little awkwardly.

Li Yang also knew his little thoughts and quickly replied, "What are you being polite for? No need. Rest well at home. Just come early when I have my wedding."

"Alright then. If you need any help, just say the word," Xu Rui replied earnestly.

"Oh right, have you seen Yue Xiaodan recently?" Xu Rui asked, still unwilling to give up.

"How could I? I've been swamped," Li Yang replied casually. "How are you two doing recently?"

"Ah, don't even mention it. It's just like that. I've called a few times when I had nothing to do, chatted briefly, but there's no progress," Xu Rui said dejectedly.

"Take it slow. All girls are the same. You don't get married right after meeting," Li Yang comforted him.

"You're right. I'm not in a hurry. I've waited so many years, what's there to be afraid of? Alright then, you're busy, I won't bother you. If you see Yue Xiaodan, put in a good word for me and make a good impression," Xu Rui stood up and said with a smile.

"Holy crap, what are you being polite with me for? Do you need to teach me that?" Li Yang said with a laugh, teasing him.

Then the two said goodbye at the main entrance.

Li Yang thought about Xiao Dan coming to stay at his house that night, so he quickly got on his bicycle and went to the market in Xin Dian to prepare various women's supplies for her in advance.

He bought slippers and pajamas, and fearing she didn't have clean underwear to change into, Li Yang went to an underwear store and picked out two sets of black and white lace summer styles for Xiao Dan, ensuring she would be satisfied with what she wore.

Finally, he went home happily, put everything in the room, and then came out.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yang quickly went to the hospital entrance to pick up Xiao Dan and take her home. After a while, Li Yang saw a Route 50 Bus slowly approaching.

Through the window, he saw Xiao Dan's beautiful figure. She waved at Li Yang and quickly hurried towards the back of the bus.

After she got off the bus, Li Yang saw that his silly wife was carrying large bags in both hands and also had her own bag on her back.

Li Yang quickly took them from her and saw that they were all clothes and things with packaging boxes.

"Honey, I'm exhausted," Xiao Dan said, her face covered in sweat, looking pitiful. She was still wearing her high heels and work clothes.

"You didn't change?" Li Yang asked, holding the things she'd bought, his heart aching.

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

"I bought bedding for your brother – sheets, duvet covers, pillows. I didn't know what else to buy," Xiao Dan said, having thought of everything. Li Yang was so touched he hugged her and kissed her several times before letting go.

"Stop it, people are watching," Xiao Dan shyly pushed Li Yang away, then giggled and kissed him a few times before she was satisfied.

After they got home, they put everything away and greeted his mother. Li Yang took her to a nearby women's clothing store and bought her a few outfits. Xiao Dan was overjoyed, pulling Li Yang along like a cheerful little bird, chirping non-stop.

Finally, Li Yang picked out two outfits for her to change into: a pink dress and a black skirt with a white top, paired with crystal sandals. Xiao Dan loved Li Yang's taste in clothes; she liked everything he picked.

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

Li Yang, his mother, and Xiao Dan ate dinner at home. His father was in a good mood and hadn't returned from his brother's house; he had probably already eaten there.

"Daughter, why did you bring things when you came?" his mother asked, having heard about the things Xiao Dan bought, her tone warm and polite.

"It's okay, Auntie. I'm Li Yang's girlfriend, it's what I should do," Xiao Dan replied politely. Seeing this, his mother was as happy as a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law. Both her sons had their own little families; as an elder, she was naturally excited.

After dinner, Li Yang took Xiao Dan to his brother's house to introduce her. Since it was evening, they weren't afraid of running into anyone. They went to his brother's house with his mother, quite openly.

They stayed until nine o'clock, then left. Everyone there was drinking and it was chaotic; it wasn't convenient for a girl to be there, so Li Yang took her home early.

His father and mother hadn't returned yet. Li Yang took Xiao Dan into their simple bathroom to wash up. The water heated by the sun in the large gasoline drum on the roof was quite warm. They had a pleasant bath, then quickly scurried back to their room like thieves.

Li Yang took out the pajamas he had bought for Xiao Dan, a white lace set. Xiao Dan was so happy she couldn't put them down and immediately put them on. After being influenced by Li Yang, this girl had developed a habit of sleeping naked, which was indeed very comfortable and relaxing, especially in the hot summer.

Xiao Dan also looked at the underwear Li Yang had bought, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew clearly that this was all his deep love and care for her.

Alright, she decided not to suppress the little desire deep in her heart anymore, but to express her feelings openly through action.

Yue Xiaodan passionately kissed his lips, her hands tightly wrapped around his body, as if she wanted to melt him into herself.

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

Li Yang carefully covered her with a towel blanket before he went to sleep, feeling content.

Early the next morning, Li Yang was woken up by the energetic Xiao Dan.

"Honey. Hurry up," Xiao Dan urged casually while fastening her bra.

"Got it, wife."

Today was the big day, so Li Yang didn't dare to be slow. He quickly got ready and changed into the new clothes Xiao Dan had bought for him yesterday.

Xiao Dan also put on the pink dress and paired it with crystal sandals. The June weather had brightened up early.

After they finished washing up in the courtyard, his father and mother had already gone to his brother's house. Li Yang took the things Xiao Dan had bought and brought her to the new house.

Neighbors gradually arrived from all directions. Li Yang introduced Xiao Dan to his brother. After a warm greeting, Li Yang took her to get something to eat, then started getting busy. Xiao Dan also politely followed his mother and helped with the women's tasks.

She seriously played the role of a family member. Gradually, all the aunts and uncles knew that Li Yang had a girlfriend. Xiao Dan was a little overwhelmed, receiving warm greetings from all the family members.

Finally, it was time for the groom to pick up the bride. Xiao Dan also wanted to join in the fun with Li Yang, so he took her with him in the car.

Li Yang sat with a few little cousins. Seeing their future cousin-in-law, the younger ones also teased, telling their cousin to invite them to the wedding banquet soon, which made Xiao Dan cover her mouth and laugh non-stop.

Soon they arrived at the bride's village. Xiao Dan followed Li Yang like a shadow, afraid of losing him if she turned away for a moment. Li Yang let her be; after all, this silly wife only had eyes for him.

When it was time to knock on the door, Li Yang took the lead, trying every possible method until he finally opened the door. A group of people swarmed in like bandits, the scene was extremely lively. Xiao Dan was infected by the atmosphere and danced with joy, as if it were her own wedding.

Entering the house, 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 everywhere in the room, and the other brothers also helped. Xiao Dan watched curiously, wondering where the shoes could be hidden.

Just as everyone was racking their brains, Xiao Dan suddenly noticed something bulging behind the curtain. She walked over and pulled it back, and there the shoes were hidden.

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

Afterward, Xiao Dan followed Li Yang back to the car and returned home with the wedding procession. In the village, some people wanted to share in the joy and blocked the wedding car in various ways. This was common in the countryside and not surprising. There were special people arranged to handle it; throwing a box of cigarettes and giving some wedding candy was enough, and they quickly drove out of the village.

The wedding hotel was not far from the village entrance, a few kilometers away. According to custom, they first returned home to go through a process.

Just as they reached his brother's street, Xiao Dan was happily discussing the fun of the wedding with Li Yang when she suddenly quickly buried herself in Li Yang's arms and stopped moving.

"What's wrong, wife?" Li Yang asked, holding Xiao Dan's slender waist, completely confused.

"Nothing, honey. I just saw Xu Rui's parents looking this way," Xiao Dan mumbled indistinctly, buried in Li Yang's arms.

"Let me see," Li Yang turned his head and looked out the car window. "Oh, I see. It's just a crowd of people on the street joining in the fun," he said, suddenly understanding. Xu Rui's parents just happened to be passing by and had no other special intentions. This scene probably scared Yue Xiaodan, making her mistakenly think she would be discovered by being here...

It was a false alarm!

"Silly girl,"

Li Yang casually pulled Yue Xiaodan into his arms!
