“Look, my eyes are swollen,” Liuli exclaimed, pointing at her eyes.

“But you’re still beautiful!” “Uh…” Liuli was left speechless.

However, she quickly regained her composure and comforted herself.

“Thankfully, I have a bride’s veil. When we step out of the car later, I’ll cover my head. No matter how unattractive 1 may look, no one will be able to tell.”

Furthermore, she was now wearing a phoenix crown, albeit a bit heavy. A row of bead curtains hung in front of her, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

With this, even if her face were covered in blemishes, it wouldn’t matter!

Liuli couldn’t help but feel proud.

She believed that opting for a Chinese-style wedding was a wise decision!

Liuli was completely bewildered by the various marriage and departure traditions.

In the end, she could only follow Mr. Tang, doing whatever he did.

She felt like a puppet on strings.

“Are you tired?” Tang Moxi asked, lowering his head while she had a moment to herself.

“I’m exhausted. My neck is so sore,” Liuli replied pitifully.

As soon as she finished speaking, a warm hand began massaging her neck.

Liuli was momentarily stunned and felt a shiver down her spine.

“Hang in there a little longer. You can rest later,” Tang Moxi comforted her.

“Oh!” Liuli responded.

After a while, the matchmaker announced that the groom could take the bride into their new home.

Liuli couldn’t help but silently breathe a sigh of relief.

This way, she could take a moment to rest, grab a bite to eat, and get some sleep!

As a result, she couldn’t help but smile radiantly.

Mr. Tang guided her into the new room.

He was about to lift the veil and remove the phoenix coronet so that she could relax for a while.

She heard the matchmaker starting to recite the auspicious words again.

Liuli’s expression almost dropped.

The phoenix crown was truly burdensome!

Finally, the two of them could sit down on the fresh bed.

For the first time, Liuli found sitting down to be a blissful experience.

The matchmaker explained that the groom would soon remove the bride’s veil. Then, Liuli consumed the two bowls of wedding soup on the table and insisted on finishing them. This way, the couple would grow old together, have children early, and shower each other with love and blessings.

After the matchmaker finished her persuasion, she exited the room and closed the door behind her.

Only Liuli and Tang Moxi remained in the bedroom.

Tang Moxi picked up the wedding scale from the table and approached Liuli. He lifted a corner of her veil.

Liuli gazed up at Tang Moxi.

Initially, she wanted to ask him if he could hasten his movements.

But in the next second, she locked eyes with Tang Moxi. Suddenly, her face flushed, and she found herself unable to utter a word.

Tang Moxi lowered his head and observed her, almost as if he were studying her!

He gazed at her with unwavering attention.

Liuli was growing impatient, so she glanced up at Tang Moxi once more and asked tentatively, “What are you staring at, mister?” “We’re married, Liuli!” Tang Moxi said slowly.

“1 know, 1 even signed the papers this morning!” Liuli nodded.

Signing the papers in the morning was part of the marriage registration process.

“That’s why you only get one allowance!” Tang Moxi pointed out.

“Huh?… Oh, right… This time doesn’t count. Let’s start fresh tomorrow!” Liuli quickly realized her mistake and explained.

“Call me Hubby!” Tang Moxi responded with a faint smile.

“Hubby, dear Hubby!” Liuli exclaimed with a smile, “That’s twice!”

Tang Moxi glanced at her but didn’t say anything further. He lifted the veil.

Liuli let out a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to remove the phoenix coronet, Tang Moxi had already taken it off for her.

Liuli reached out to massage her neck and felt much more at ease.

In that moment, Tang Moxi had brought the two bowls of food from the table and handed one to Liuli.

“What’s this?” Liuli asked as she took it.

“I don’t know. Just finish it,” Tang Moxi replied. He sat beside Liuli and began to eat.

As Liuli watched Mr. Tang eat with an expressionless face, she couldn’t tell whether the food was delicious or not.

However, if she didn’t finish it, she had a suspicion that Mr. Tang would be watching her until she did.

Therefore, Liuli reluctantly accepted her fate and took a bite of the mysterious food with the spoon.

She nearly spat it out; it tasted incredibly peculiar!

“Hubby…” her voice sounded sweet.

Tang Moxi turned around and glanced at her, waiting for her to continue.

“Can you help me finish this?” she pleaded.

“No!” Tang Moxi replied simply.

“But you’re my husband!” Liuli exclaimed, her anger mounting.

Then…

“You said you would take care of me, so help me eat a little more!” Liuli began to plead again.

“Behave and eat it yourself. 1’11 give you an extra month’s allowance next month!” “Really?” Liuli’s eyes brightened.

Tang Moxi nodded.

Liuli quickly consumed everything in the bowl, her cheeks bulging.

Then, she motioned towards Tang Moxi with the empty bowl.

“Swallow it!” Tang Moxi said casually.

Liuli almost spat out the food in her mouth.

She took deep breaths, reminding herself that she now had an extra month’s allowance!

And so, Liuli chewed and slowly swallowed the food bit by bit.

In the next moment, she declared, “1 need to use the bathroom!”

With that, she headed towards the door.

“There’s a connected bathroom and washroom in the bedroom!” Tang Moxi called out to Liuli.

“Oh!” Liu Li replied.

“Don’t spit it out. Otherwise, you’ll take it out and eat it later!” Tang Moxi threatened.

“Ugh… Can’t you be less disgusting, mister? Are you really criticizing a gentleman’s plan with your petty remarks?” “I need to pee!” Liuli couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Only then did she look around and reluctantly make her way towards the bathroom.

Liuli entered the washroom, washed her hands, and then exited.

She found the outfit to be quite troublesome to wear. Even going to the bathroom felt like a hassle.

“Brother Moxi, can 1 change out of this attire?” “Sure!” “Oh, then I’ll go change first. It’s too uncomfortable.”

After saying that, Liuli turned around and headed back to the bathroom.

However, she ended up being unable to remove half of the outfit.

She could only partially open the door and call for assistance.

Tang Moxi was smoking when he heard Liuli’s voice. He turned around and saw her looking embarrassed. He then said, “I’m halfway through undressing. 1 can’t move. It’s stuck.”

She had an urge to laugh but managed to suppress it. Instead, she stubbed out her cigarette and walked over, expressionless.

He pushed open the bathroom door and entered. Inside, he saw that Liuli had managed to remove her clothes with one hand but was still struggling with the other. Her collar remained open.

No wonder she was having difficulty taking it off.

Tang Moxi helped her undo the buttons one by one, then pulled on her clothes to let her carry the expert. Just like that, she took off her robe.

Even the warm long underwears that Liuli was wearing.

Liuli didn’t notice it at first. She only felt a chill down her spine and thought about what would happen if she took off her clothes.

However, Tang Moxi pulled down the warm long johns from his phoenix robe and placed it on Liuli’s head.

“Put it on!”

Only then did Liuli react. She lowered her head and realized that she was only wearing a bra.

She exclaimed and quickly covered her chest.

“Put on your clothes. Don’t catch a cold!” Tang Moxi said calmly.

Liuli blushed and put on the warm autumn clothes. Then, she pouted and protested.

“You saw everything.” “You’re my wife!” Tang Moxi pointed out calmly.

“So what!” Liuli adjusted her clothes.

“It’s normal for me to see you naked. If 1 didn’t look, that would be a serious problem!” “Uh…” Liuli stared at Tang Moxi’s back as he walked towards the changing room with his clothes. She was speechless for a moment.

Liuli stomped her feet in frustration before following him into the changing room.

She also wanted to change into her pajamas!

However, when she reached the changing room, she saw that Mr. Tang had already taken off his Han clothing.

Liuli was momentarily stunned before quickly turning around.

Then, she muttered to herself, “I didn’t see anything.”

Tang Moxi paid no attention to those words. After removing his Han clothing, he passed by Liuli and entered the bathroom.

Only then did Liuli step into the changing room and change into her pajamas.

She then made her way back to the bathroom, intending to remove her makeup before going to sleep.

Having so much makeup on would surely lead to nightmares.

However, the moment she stepped into the bathroom, she heard the sound of running water. Almost instinctively, she turned around.

In the next moment, Liuli stood frozen in place, as if her acupoints had been struck.

After finishing his shower, Tang Moxi grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his lower body. He casually turned around and asked, “Are you satisfied with what you saw?” “Satisfied?” Liuli was momentarily unresponsive, muttering to herself.

Then, as if struck by an electric shock, she cried out in shock and blushed, her face turning as red as her ears.

She covered her eyes and exclaimed,

It’s over, it’s over. 1 must have swollen eyes this time. 1 saw something 1 shouldn’t have seen.”

It’s too terrifying. It’s so dark…

She suddenly fell silent. She couldn’t see or hear anything. There wasn’t even the sound of water.

All she could hear was her own quickened breathing.

Liuli cautiously moved her fingers aside, revealing a gap, and that’s when she saw…

A bathtub!

Alright, there was no one in front of her!

She let go of her grip and glanced around. There was no one there.

Had she been daydreaming just now?

“Liuli, stop daydreaming. You still have an hour to eat and rest. We need to arrive at the hotel by four in the afternoon,” Tang Moxi’s voice came from the changing room.

“No, 1 want to sleep. I’m so tired!

“Or you can come a little later, around five o’clock. But then you won’t have time to do your makeup and change your clothes!” “Um…”

She didn’t want to be an unkempt bride!

In the end, Liuli hurriedly went to the washbasin and began removing her makeup.

Midway through washing her face, she suddenly wondered if she would be able to skip applying makeup in the afternoon if she didn’t remove her current makeup.

Boohoo, but she had already washed it off.

Liuli washed her face with a touch of sadness. After applying some moisturizer and lotion, she stepped out of the bathroom.

“Come and eat!” Tang Moxi looked up at her and said.

Liuli’s face burned, and she instinctively lowered her head and walked over.

She couldn’t help but replay what she had seen in the bathroom just now!

She couldn’t help but sigh internally.

Why didn’t he let her know that he was going to shower?!

Why did he have to shower in front of her?!

Well, she was the one who barged into the bathroom herself!

‘But…*

There were no “buts.” Just hurry up, eat, and get some rest.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have an hour to relax.

Liuli hurried over and sat down. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

She was not only sleepy but also hungry.

Tang Moxi scooped a bowl of soup for her and placed it in front of her.

“Thank you… Hubby!” Under Tang Moxi’s gaze, Liuli changed the word ‘husband’ to ‘hubby.*

She sipped the soup and ate.

“Um… if 1 have to deduct pocket money for calling you hubby,’ can I increase my allowance by calling you that?” Liuli suddenly wanted to ask Tang Moxi. As she was speaking with food in her mouth, her words came out a bit muffled.

“I’ll increase your allowance by one day each time!” Tang Moxi glanced at her and replied.

“Huh? Why do I have to deduct a month’s allowance for every time I call you ‘the man,’ but 1 only get an extra day’s allowance for calling you hubby’?” Liuli protested.

“You were the one who changed the way you address me.”

“Did I ask for money when I called you ‘my wife’?” Tang Moxi raised his eyebrows and asked her in return.

“Alright, then I’ll add one day at a time. It’s better than nothing!” Liuli muttered.

After a while, Liuli said,

“I won’t pay you if you call me your wife!”

“Yes!” Tang Moxi replied calmly.

Liuli heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if Mr. Tang called her that a few more times on a whim, she would go bankrupt.

After finishing their meal, Liuli felt even sleepier.

Just touching the bed made her want to fall asleep instantly.

“Hubby… I’m going to sleep. Help yourself!”

“Do you have a little husband?” Tang Moxi teased.

“There’s no chance. You’re already 30 this year!”

“It’s impossible for her to become younger and become a little husband!” Liuli replied.

Then, she walked towards the new bed.

Wasn’t that what Mr. Tang had explained to her?

She was the “young wife” now. In a few years, when she was older, she would be the “old wife.”

But Mr. Tang skipped the “Little Husband” part and went straight to “Big Husband.”

Sigh, old people always take advantage of others!

She didn’t even have the chance to be the young wife first.

Liuli lifted the blanket and lay down, still contemplating.

Before she fell asleep, another thought crossed her mind…

‘I’ll sleep in the same bed as Mr. Tang tonight?’

But before the thought could give an answer, she fell asleep.

She was really too tired.

Tang Moxi looked at Liuli’s sleeping face and observed her quietly with a gentle gaze.

This little girl was really unpredictable at times.

Liuli was fast asleep. Tang Moxi finished his meal and left the bedroom. He stepped outside to smoke a cigarette and instructed the nanny to clean up the tableware later, ensuring that Liuli wouldn’t be disturbed.

Returning to the main house, Tang Moxi attended to the guests and engaged in hosting duties.

By 3:30 pm, he returned to their room and gently woke Liuli up.

Once they were ready, they could almost depart for the hotel.

There was also a wedding banquet scheduled for the evening.

Liuli mumbled sleepily.

“Mom, let me sleep a little longer!”

“If you keep sleeping, your husband won’t mind giving you a wake-up kiss!”

Tang Moxi’s voice had a mischievous tone that echoed in Liuli’s mind.

Initially, she was groggy and couldn’t fully process his words. She simply found them noisy.

But in the next moment, she snapped out of her daze and widened her eyes at Tang Moxi, who was sitting beside the bed.

It felt as though she was looking at a stranger.

“I thought you were really going to keep pretending to sleep so I could kiss you!”

“How is that possible? Big… Hubby, you’re too self-absorbed. I’m not a sleeping beauty!” Liuli retorted, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

“It has nothing to do with Sleeping Beauty indeed. 1 only see a little girl with messy clothes!”

“After freshening up, it’s almost time for us to leave.”

“What time is it?” Liuli mumbled.

You’re the little girl!

‘No, you’re the big bad wolf!

“It’s 3:4.0 already. If we delay any longer, you won’t even have time to freshen up,” Tang Moxi reminded.

Liuli exclaimed and promptly got out of bed, hurrying into the bathroom.

After washing up and changing into her bridal attire, she emerged from the bedroom. The makeup artist, stylist, and bridesmaid were already waiting for her in the living room.

Liuli felt a bit awkward, unsure of what to do besides offering a smile.

The next hour flew by as she changed into her wedding gown, had her makeup done, and her hair styled.

When it was time for Liuli to leave the Tang family home for the hotel, an hour had already passed.

Upon spotting her parents at the hotel, Liuli’s excitement overwhelmed her, almost causing her to pounce on them. But she quickly composed herself, mindful of maintaining her image.

She took a deep breath and walked gracefully towards her mother.

“Dad, Mom…”

Lin Yu spoke in a hushed tone, “Did you do anything mischievous today?”

“How could you think so poorly of me, Mom?” Liuli grasped her mother’s hand, playfully shaking it.

Lin Yu looked at her daughter and smiled.

“That’s good to hear. Just remember to give a splendid performance tonight..”
