Me: …
Rich people buy houses as easily as they buy cabbages.
Me: "You knew I wasn't quite used to the Black Mamba-style house, so you changed it to a white European minimalist-style one. You're so considerate, hubby. I'm so touched!"
After showering him with compliments, Rong Bo just replied flatly, "Hmm."
However, just thinking about having to help him move made my head ache. The size of that walk-in closet was unbelievable. There was even a whole cabinet full of watches...
As if sensing my thoughts, Rong Bo said, "The professionals will handle it. You don't need to worry."
I hugged him adoringly and said, "You're the best husband in the world!"
I went to work with Rong Bo.
When we got home in the evening, the new house had already been moved into.
Before I even entered the house, the neighbor Mrs. Hu from next door came over with a plate of freshly baked blueberry pies and greeted me warmly, "Hello, I'm your neighbor next door. My surname is Hu, the same Hu as in 'mahjong'. Everyone calls me Xiao Hu. I thought you looked familiar this morning. Are you Miss Song? I'm your fan!"
I nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Xiao Hu!"
Xiao Hu handed me the fragrant pies. "I just made these. If you don't mind, Miss Song, you can try my cooking."
Me: "Thank you so much. I really like blueberry desserts."
I guessed it was a fan's way of catering to my taste.
Xiao Hu: "There were about a hundred people moving today. It really caught our attention. I didn't expect it was Mr. Rong's new home. You two are so down-to-earth, living in a civilian villa area like this..."
Me: …
Forgive my ignorance.
There are civilian villa areas?
Xiao Hu was quite lively. "I'm honored to be your neighbor, Miss Song! I just came to get to know you. If you need anything, just come to me!"
Me: "Sure. Come in and sit down?"
Xiao Hu: "No, I have two babies at home waiting for me to feed them! I'm quite experienced in parenting. I hope you and Mr. Rong will have a baby soon! Give me a chance to shine!"
Me: "..."
When I entered the house, I saw someone in the kitchen.
I walked over, and the chef in his uniform greeted me while stirring the wok. "Good evening, Mrs. Rong."
Me: "Hello, hello!"
Mrs. Rong...
This title sounded so strange...
The cleaning lady who had just finished cleaning upstairs came downstairs with her things. When she saw me, she said, "Good evening, Madam Rong."
Madam Rong...
It made me sound decades older...
According to Rong Bo's habit, they would leave right after they finished their work, just like the legendary田螺 girl.
I ate a whole table of dishes by myself and couldn't help but send Rong Bo a photo. "Thank you for the arrangement, hubby."
Rong Bo: "Why didn't you wait for me?"
Me: ???
Don't you usually work late and get home late?
A little while later, there was a knock on the door.
I put down my phone and asked, "Who is it?"
A familiar voice came from outside. "It's me."
I ran over and opened the door. I saw my husband, still in his suit, standing outside the door. I knew he had the password but still wanted me to open the door. I knew he wanted to play that game...
The Temptation of Coming Home?
I hooked my finger around his tie and pulled him in. I stared into his eyes and led him step by step back to the sofa. "Hubby, you've been working hard all day. Do you want to take a shower first or have dinner first?"
Rong Bo kissed along my hand and said, "I'll eat you first."
Me: !!!
The next morning, I woke up at nine.
It was another intense night last night...
However, Rong Bo didn't go to work again. He said today was the day to "return to the bride's parents' home" and asked me to dress up a bit.
When going back to my parents' home, wearing pajamas should be okay, right?
But Rong Bo arranged a light pink beaded and embroidered cheongsam for me.
The color was elegant, and the craftsmanship was exquisite.
The patterns and pearls were probably all sewn by hand stitch by stitch.
When I put it on, it really showed off my figure.
Me: "Isn't this too grand?"
Rong Bo just said, "It's necessary."
I thought to myself that being grand meant my husband valued me, so I shouldn't be a spoilsport.
So I put on a delicate light makeup, matched it with earrings, a necklace, and high heels. It was almost noon by the time we left the house.
When I opened the door, I saw several luxury cars parked outside.
I laughed. "It's not necessary, is it?"
Rong Bo: "It is."
When we got to my parents' home and got out of the car, there were fireworks and firecrackers. All our relatives and neighbors were there.
My dad was dressed as if he was going to a wedding banquet, with a flower on his chest. My mom was wearing a maroon cheongsam, and her makeup was festive and grand.
Rong Bo was afraid I would be pushed around by the crowd, so he held my waist the whole time and took me back to my parents' home. There were many "happiness" characters pasted on the living room wall, decorated with balloons and ribbons. It was the kind of tacky wedding decoration that the elderly loved.
I got angry and pulled my dad aside. "Didn't we agree to keep everything simple?"
You'll be embarrassed when we get divorced later.
My dad said, "These are all the relatives and elders who watched you grow up. We can't let them not even have a taste of the wedding wine just because you got married."
I asked, "Does Rong Bo know about this?"
My dad: "What? Are you going to scold him?"
I was actually extremely angry, but in order to get some information, I still had to force a smile. "No, I'm going to praise him for being capable. Will it just be our family tonight?"
My dad was quite straightforward. Fortunately, I didn't inherit this from him. "No, some people from the groom's side will also come. We discussed this with Rong Bo before we went to the UK. We'll keep the wedding simple, but we can't skip the etiquette. We'll use this homecoming banquet to make up for the wedding banquet."
Damn it.
Rong Bo.
You're really good at going against my wishes.
A little while later, Rong Bo came over.
My dad and mom went to entertain the relatives.
I looked at Rong Bo with a fake smile. "Hubby, you've worked hard! You secretly arranged such a grand occasion. Now all our relatives and friends know we're married!"
Rong Bo was as calm as ever. "Hmm."
Hmm your head!
I couldn't scold him, so I could only tease him indirectly. "What? Are you afraid I'll run away?"
Rong Bo didn't shy away at all. "Hmm."
Me: …
So straightforward.
It made me not even want to scold him.
I don't care what people say even if we get divorced. But he comes from a prominent family, and his personal reputation is everything to him.
Big shot...
Do you know you've fallen into my hands?
The dinner was held in the biggest hotel in the city.
There were many business tycoons and famous people.
If it was before, I might have felt nervous in such a big occasion. But now that we were in love, I had more confidence.
Especially since Rong Bo was very protective of me. He wouldn't let me be alone. He held my hand tightly all the time when facing all the guests.
He even didn't let me drink champagne. He said, "There are too many people to toast to tonight. You'll get drunk if you drink too much champagne. Just drink juice."
Me: "Isn't it inappropriate? They're all big shots. What if they toast to me?"
Rong Bo: "I'll drink for you."
I was so touched!
The main table at the wedding banquet was a huge round table. Our parents, grandma... were all sitting together.
I had been busy since noon, and my legs were so sore.
When people are tired, they tend to accumulate grievances.
I pretended to whisper in Rong Bo's ear, but actually I was scolding him. "Rong Bo, you're so bad! You don't have any spirit of cooperation at all! You're not only ruining me but also yourself, do you know that..."
Rong Bo was extremely calm. He nodded seriously as if he was listening to something important even though his wife was scolding him. "Hmm."
Just as I was scolding him vigorously, I pinched his thigh through his suit pants.
Suddenly, Rong Bo stood up. "Mayor Chen, hello."
Half of the people at the table stood up. The mayor looked at me with a gentle smile. "I wish the newlyweds a long and happy marriage."
I lovingly put my arm around my husband's and immediately put on a business smile. "Thank you, Mayor!"
