Chu Yang was instantly terrified: "Chi Yan, what's wrong?"
Chi Yan immediately stepped back, "Don't come closer, you'll dirty the wedding dress. I'll go take care of this first." Then he hurriedly left.
Meanwhile, Wen Yi and the servants were secretly laughing.
Chu Yang was confused, so Wen Yi whispered an explanation in her ear. Instantly, Chu Yang's ears turned red.
Soon, Chi Yan returned after handling the situation. Seeing everyone looking at him, he felt awkward for a moment but quickly regained his composure. He walked over to Chu Yang, gave her a kiss, and complimented her: "You look absolutely stunning."
Chu Yang confidently lifted her chin, "Of course I do."
Afterwards, Chu Yang tried on the next few outfits, each one showcasing a different aspect of her beauty.
By the end, Chu Yang was exhausted. Chi Yan asked everyone to leave, then sat beside her and gently massaged her legs. "The photographer will be here tomorrow to take our wedding photos."
"What? I'm so tired," Chu Yang collapsed onto the sofa. Trying on dresses was exhausting enough.
Chi Yan stroked her head, "Be good. After we take the wedding photos, we'll go get our marriage certificate. The auspicious date chosen by Ming Wu Master is approaching."
"Alright," she agreed.
On the day they registered their marriage, the weather was beautiful and sunny. The staff at the civil affairs bureau even commented that they had never seen such a well-matched couple before.
As soon as they left the bureau, Chi Yan immediately secured the marriage certificate, "I'll keep the certificate safe. When we get home, I'll put it in the safe."
Chu Yang thought to herself: That's really not necessary...
But she let him have his way.
Everyone in their social circle knew Chi Yan was getting married.
"Congratulations!"
"Congrats, Yan-ge! Hope you have two kids in three years!"
"Congratulations, Yan-ge! We've organized a last night of freedom party for you. Want to join?"
"Come on, join us!"
"It might be hard to hang out with Yan-ge after this."
"Hello? Yan-ge, want to come out and play? Yan-ge: Sorry, I have to feed the baby."
"Hahahahaha!"
"Oh man, that could actually happen."
"Yan-ge is whipped. I think it's entirely possible."
"Hahahahaha, Yan-ge has turned into a gentle daddy."
"I'm dying of laughter."
Ignoring their teasing, Chi Yan took out his phone and asked Chu Yang, "Dear wife, may I go?"
Chu Yang replied, "Of course, you should go." After all, her girlfriends had invited her out too.
"Thank you, dear wife."
The day before the wedding, the couple wasn't supposed to see each other. Chu Yang stayed at her apartment with her parents, while Chi Yan remained at the family home. In the evening, Chi Yan went to meet his friends, and Chu Yang went out wearing a sexy black spaghetti strap dress.
Chu Yang drove her Maserati to a bar and messaged her girlfriends, "Girls, I'm here."
Soon, Jin Yang came out to greet her, "Finally, you're here! Come on, everyone's waiting in the private room."
In the room were all the bridesmaids who would be attending the wedding tomorrow, including Chen Xixi, Liang Huan, Zhang Xinghai, and others.
"Come on, let's all have a toast! Here's to Chu Yang's future happiness and a wonderful married life!"
"Cheers, bottoms up!"
Everyone downed their drinks. Chu Yang put down her glass and said, "Tonight, let loose and have fun. It's on me."
"Wow!"
"But don't drink too much tonight, or you won't be presentable tomorrow," Chu Yang added as a reminder.
"We know, we know. We've got it under control."
"I heard the groomsmen are all handsome. I'm going to pick one for myself."
"Hahaha."
The girls laughed and chatted in the private room, singing, eating, playing games, and occasionally discussing risqué topics, each one acting like an expert.
They asked questions like, "How many times can your boyfriend go in one night? How's his performance?" Everyone spoke without a hint of embarrassment.
"Men are all perverts. They start getting handsy while kissing."
"Exactly. Born lechers, the lot of them."
"No matter how cold and restrained they seem on the surface, they're all the same underneath. Don't believe me? Ask Yang Yang. Yang Yang, isn't Chi Yan, the campus heartthrob... you know?"
"Yang Yang, how many times in one night?"
"Yang Yang used to come to class yawning so many times. Were you up all night doing the deed? Hm?"
They didn't even need Chu Yang to answer; their imaginations were running wild.
"Definitely. If you've seen Chi Yan playing basketball before, you'd know. Those abs, tsk tsk tsk, must be very powerful."
Chu Yang glanced at Jin Yang, "I think your Wei Feng is pretty much the same."
Jin Yang waved her hand dismissively, "It's different. Mine is like a bear. Too rough."
Everyone let out a collective "Ooh~" and looked at Jin Yang suggestively. "How is he like a bear? Tell us more."
Jin Yang grinned, "Some things are better left to the imagination. Those of you with boyfriends should know, and those without will find out when you get one."
Midway through the party, everyone had drunk too much water and decided to go to the bathroom together. It's a girl thing, going to the bathroom in groups.
As they were leaving the private room and heading down the hallway to the bathroom, a group of people came out of another room. Seeing Chu Yang and her friends, they were shocked, "Yan... Yan's wife?"
Chu Yang thought to herself: Yan's wife? What kind of awful nickname is that?
Then one of the guys called into their room, "Yan-ge, your wife is here."
The guy's voice sounded a bit panicked, thinking Chu Yang had come with others to catch them in the act.
Inside, Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and came out. Wei Feng, Yuan Zhi, and others followed.
"Yang Yang? What are you doing here?" Seeing Chu Yang in her short black spaghetti strap dress that showed off her long legs, paired with sky-high heels, Chi Yan quickly took off his jacket and put it on her.
Chu Yang felt a bit guilty. She hadn't told Chi Yan she was going out, while he had informed her of his plans.
"Uh..."
Chi Yan noticed the group of women behind Chu Yang and realized something was off. They were all dressed up as if attending an event. He looked at Chu Yang, "So... you're all here for a party too?"
"Hehe." Chu Yang gave a placating smile, "Just a little get-together among girlfriends."
Chi Yan understood. It was the same as what he was doing.
"Since we've run into each other, shall we join together?"
Jin Yang immediately whispered in Chu Yang's ear, "No way. According to tradition, you two can't be together tonight."
Chu Yang quickly pulled away from Chi Yan's hand and looked up, refusing, "No, tonight is our girls' night. We won't be joining you. We're not supposed to see each other tonight. This is my bachelorette party, and tonight I'm single. You're not my boyfriend, hmph. That's that."
Chi Yan smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be waiting."
Waiting for what? Chu Yang didn't understand. She left the scene with her friends, their footsteps echoing as they went. Chi Yan's jacket was still draped over her shoulders.
Wei Feng and the others nearby thought: At least they weren't here to catch anyone.
Wei Feng: "Brother Yan... your sister-in-law and her friends..."
Chi Yan walked into the private room and instructed the waiter, "Send some food to the room where those girls were just now. Also, I'll cover their expenses for tonight."
"Yes, sir."
"They're just here to have fun tonight, like us. Don't disturb them."
"I see. We thought they were here to catch someone," sighed the guy who first noticed them, relieved.
Meanwhile, when Chu Yang returned from the restroom, she found the food sent by Chi Yan. She didn't stand on ceremony and called out to her friends, "Let's eat! Help yourselves. And the guys are covering our bill for tonight."
"Great! Come on, sisters, let's toast!"
"Cheers, cheers!"
