At the makeup artist’s question, everyone looked at Jiang Xiaobai. She was so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. Immediately, her makeup artist rushed toward her saying, “Come, I’ll touch it up for you.”
Jiang Xiaobai could only sigh internally. As she went backstage to prepare herself for the ceremony, she saw Han Qing tagging along with Yan to give her blessing. Jiang Xiaobai then had a short chat with them.
After they left, Xu Yifei leaned against Jiang Xiaobai and said bitterly, “That man looks so handsome. Too bad he already has a wife.”
Hearing that, Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback. “You mean Yan’s husband?”
“Who else would it be? Your husband?”
“D*mn you!” Jiang Xiaobai was dissatisfied. She immediately stood up for Xiao Su. “Since when did my husband lose to him? My husband is much more handsome than he is!”
Xu Yifei chuckled. “You may try writing your future scripts based on his characteristics. Who knows, maybe it might be a hit.”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered. “Don’t think that I will tolerate it just because you’re my editor. If you continue to talk about my husband in this way, the main character in my next work will be a bully.”
“Sounds good! Since it’s the current trend, why don’t you give me something like that?”
Jiang Xiaobai was done talking to her!
The wedding ceremony went smoothly. As the ceremony came to an end, Jiang Xiaobai was too tired to even move. The only thing she was happy about was that Xiao Su had drank all the wine on her behalf. Xiao Su knew that Jiang Xiaobai tended to lose it when she was drunk, and he was determined to not let that happen on an important day like this, hence his decision to drink on her behalf. However, this resulted in more guests coming to have a toast with Xiao Su to deliberately make things difficult for him. In the end, Xiao Su was so drunk that he couldn’t even walk properly. Even so, he had to continue drinking as long as the ceremony was still ongoing.
Meanwhile, the bridesmaids were looking after Jiang Xiaobai.
“To be honest, with your husband being that drunk, are you sure your wedding night will still happen?” That filthy remark came from her editor, Xu Yifei.
Fang Tangtang was smiling cunningly. “If he can’t make it, Jiang Xiaobai can handle it herself.”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Stop this nonsense. You guys can leave first if you want. I’m tired and would like to rest for a moment.” She woke up very early this morning, and was unbelievably exhausted by now.
In the face of her exhaustion, they decided to stop with the teasing and leave her alone. Once they left, Jiang Xiaobai did not even bother about tradition and headed straight to bed. She had changed into her wedding gown earlier that night, so she was currently sleeping in it. It was very uncomfortable, but she was so tired that she fell asleep the moment she closed her eyes.
After some time, she heard someone opening the door, followed by the sound of footsteps walking toward the bed. She felt the empty space next to her dip, and the smell of alcohol was so overwhelming that she couldn’t ignore it. When Jiang Xiaobai opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Su lying next to her. His eyes were shut, his face and ears as red as a tomato, and he seemed to be in agony.
Jiang Xiaobai was awake in an instant. She turned over and got up to check on him, only to realize that Xiao Su had been keeping his eyes shut, as if he was in pain. Did he have too much wine? Jiang Xiaobai reached out to pat his face. “Wake up.”
After multiple pats, Xiao Su finally opened his eyes. Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback by his bloodshot eyes. “What happened?”
Looking at her worried expression, Xiao Su tried to smile and reassured her. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. It’s just that I drank too much earlier. I’ll be better after resting for a bit.”
Jiang Xiaobai was still feeling drowsy. However, seeing him like this, sleep was the farthest thing from her mind. She got out of bed and started to prepare some soup, before taking a wet towel to clean his face.
Xiao Su was feeling really uncomfortable at the moment. Being drunk was completely different from drinking too much. Apart from having a headache, his body felt so heavy that he didn’t even want to move. Any little movement would upset his stomach.
As soon as Jiang Xiaobai finished wiping his face, she said gently, “Hold on for a second, I’m going to check on the brew.”
Xiao Su raised his head to see a tiny figure in a wedding dress. Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t changed out of her wedding dress yet, so she had no choice but to pick up her skirt in both hands while she ran.
Hearing someone approach, Xiao Su cracked open his eyes to see her holding a bowl in one hand and her skirt in another as she walked toward him clumsily. Silly girl.
“Drink this. I prepared a brew for you.”
Xiao Su sat up and finished the brew. He still felt a little queasy, but was much better than before. Just as Jiang Xiaobai was about to leave, Xiao Su grabbed her wrist to stop her. “Don’t leave. Stay with me.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xiaobai lay next to him and blinked, asking, “How much did you really drink?”
Hearing that, Xiao Su could only smile bitterly in his heart. The guests toasted like there was no tomorrow. Plus, he had to drink on behalf of his wife. It didn’t seem like a huge amount at first, but after adding them up, it really wasn’t something that he could handle.
“I shouldn’t have let you drink on my behalf.”
“Don’t be silly. If I didn’t drink on your behalf, you might have embarrassed yourself by creating a scene during the ceremony.”
Jiang Xiaobai pinched him and hissed, “It’s better if I were to create a scene. If I went berserk, those guests wouldn’t dare to toast to us anymore. I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable if I went crazy, but you seem so uncomfortable right now.”
Xiao Su tugged her into his arms and comforted her hoarsely, “I’m fine. It’s not that bad.” Although he kept assuring her he was fine, Xiao Su had been doing nothing else but lying on the bed ever since he entered the room. Oh, except for pulling her into his arms.
Jiang Xiaobai felt a little disappointed as she looked at Xiao Su who was too drunk to do anything. The wedding night was probably not going to happen. She pursed her lips sadly. Although she didn’t have much expectations for tonight, she had always imagined it would happen somehow, so she was feeling a bit disappointed now that it was never going to happen. However, looking at how Xiao Su was suffering because of her, she couldn’t complain.
The both of them just lay there quietly on the bed. It was extremely quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of the day. Especially with Jiang Xiaobai lying next to Xiao Su, she could even hear his heartbeat clearly. There was a big ‘happiness’ sign attached to the wall of their new house, and the lighting was dim.
As Jiang Xiaobai lay on the bed, she began to feel drowsy again. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she felt Xiao Su’s hand caressing her body. Jiang Xiaobai’s drowsiness vanished in an instant. She raised her eyes and looked at him, asking, “What are you doing?”
Xiao Su’s gaze darkened, clearly different from earlier. Although his voice was hoarse, it became clear as he said, “Tonight is our wedding night. I can’t let my wife down.”
