Chapter 462 Not serious

As evening approached, the hustle and bustle subsided.

After seeing off the last guest, Wen Jiayue was a little tired, and Shen Funian, who was pregnant, was also feeling unwell. They each returned to their courtyards.

As she approached the courtyard gate, a dizzying sensation struck her, and Wen Jiayue suddenly found herself suspended in mid-air.

She screamed in fright and frantically clung to Shen Fuhan.

She said, embarrassed and annoyed, "What are you doing!"

“Knowing you’re shy, I made sure to keep my promise until we got back to the main courtyard,” Shen Fuhan lifted her up a little, “Let’s take her to the bridal chamber, my bride.”

He dared to say it, but Wen Jiayue didn't dare to listen, burying her face in his neck.

It was as if the servants wouldn't know who she was unless she showed herself.

Shen Fuhan simply smiled faintly at her self-deceiving behavior and walked steadily forward.

"Put me down quickly," Wen Jiayue whispered, "I was just saying it casually."

She could already hear Ruyi and Chengxin laughing behind her, and her face flushed.

Shen Fuhan refused: "But I took it seriously. I have always regarded your words as sacred decrees and must keep my promises."

Wen Jiayue pounded his chest: "Then I now order you to put me down."

Shen Fuhan didn't speak until he escorted her to the bed, then he said, "Yes, ma'am."

Wen Jiayue slapped him angrily.

Shen Fuhan chuckled softly and gently kissed her face.

His slightly hot breath brushed against her cheek, and his lips drew closer. She could smell the alcohol in his breath, and Wen Jiayue frowned and pulled away.

"Go take a bath."

Shen Fuhan agreed, and taking advantage of her relaxed state, he lowered his head and kissed her chin, then slowly kissed her chin all the way down to her undulating chin.

Wen Jiayue then realized what was happening and reached out to push him away.

“Now you smell of alcohol too,” Shen Fuhan gently rubbed her hand, “come take a bath with me.”

After saying that, he ignored her struggles, which were a mixture of resistance and acceptance, and picked her up again.

After fooling around in the bathtub, water streaks stretched all the way to the bed.

The next morning, Wen Jiayue almost woke up later than the bride.

She hurriedly dressed and glared at Shen Fuhan.

"If you're late today, you'll sleep in the study for a month!"

Shen Fuhan coughed lightly, knowing that she was really angry. He didn't argue, but instead quietly sent someone to Wuyou Courtyard to try to delay her for half an hour.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shen Fuyou and Xie Yan hadn't arrived yet, otherwise she would have been too ashamed to face anyone.

However, Xiao Suye and his family of three had already arrived, and Shen Funian was having breakfast.

Shen Chengyao complained, "Why can Mother eat but I can't? I'm hungry too!"

Xiao Suye patiently explained, "Your mother is pregnant with your younger brother and sister, and she's very hungry. Yao'er, be good."

Shen Chengyao reluctantly said, "Then I forgive Mother."

Shen Funian clicked her tongue: "Do I need your forgiveness?"

She turned her head and saw her elder brother and sister-in-law.

She quickly explained, "Big brother, I didn't steal any food. I was really hungry. I only ate eight-treasure rice. More will be brought over in a little while."

Xiao Suye also said, "Niannian is pregnant and will need to eat when she's hungry, so we have no other choice but to resort to this."

Shen Fuhan naturally did not blame her.

Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. On the way there, she was worried about what she would do if Shen Funian teased her for being late.

Fortunately, there's no need to explain anymore.

Shen Funian ate more than half of the eight-treasure rice before stopping.

The maid removed the plate and replaced it with a new one.

Just as they were ready, Shen Fuyou led Xie Yan in by the hand.

Several pairs of eyes turned to look at her at the same time, and Xie Yan quickly pulled her hand away and curtsied.

Newlyweds, in the throes of new love, were not surprised by each other's behavior. After exchanging pleasantries, they each took their seats.

A maidservant brought in a wooden tray, and Shen Fuyou and Xie Yan each held a cup and began to serve tea.

Since they were all people she had met before, Xie Yan easily uttered the new title.

"Brother, have some tea. Sister-in-law, have some tea."

Shen Fuhan nodded, took the teacup, and glanced at Zhao Zhao sitting in his lap.

Zhao Zhao excitedly handed over the thick red envelope, saying in her childish voice, "Fourth Aunt, here you go!"

Xie Yan was charmed by her cuteness and said softly, "Thank you, Zhao Zhao."

Wen Jiayue also gave her a jade bracelet, and said with a smile, "From now on we are family, Yan'er, you don't need to be so reserved."

Xie Yan nodded gently: "Thank you, elder brother and sister-in-law."

Shen Funian and Xiao Suye also successfully completed their mission, and Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Chengyao asked anxiously, "Fourth Aunt, what about me?"

He had been looking forward to it for a long time, but his fourth aunt skipped over him completely, which made him very upset.

Shen Funian clicked her tongue: "What's it to you? Go play somewhere else."

After saying that, she looked at Xie Yan, who looked a little lost, and comforted her, "Sister Yan'er, don't pay attention to him. What does a little brat like him know?"

Shen Fuyou also secretly squeezed Xie Yan's hand to indicate that everything was alright.

He said with dissatisfaction, "Third sister, why are you still calling Yan'er 'little sister'? Yan'er is already my wife."

“I like it,” Shen Funian said with a smile. “I just love calling you that.”

She then looked at Xie Yan and asked, "Does little sister Yan'er like this nickname?"

Xie Yan relaxed a lot and smiled when she heard this: "Whatever you like, Third Sister can call me whatever she likes."

Shen Fuyou said with dissatisfaction, "Yan'er, you should be on my side."

Xie Yan smiled slyly: "That won't do. My dowry was all given to me by my third sister. My third sister is my own sister."

Shen Fuyou was a little annoyed, and Xie Yan coaxed him softly, "Okay, I was just kidding, did you really take it seriously?"

“Then you have to kiss me ten times when you get back,” Shen Fuyou said, pushing her luck, “otherwise I’ll get angry.”

"...We'll talk about it when we get back!"

The young couple whispered to each other as if no one else was around. Shen Funian blinked, about to tease them, when Wen Jiayue tugged at her arm.

They had just gotten married and couldn't stand such teasing.

Shen Funian reluctantly gave up.

Seeing that the young couple had finished chatting, Wen Jiayue suggested, "Yan'er must be hungry, why don't we go and have a meal first?"

Xie Yan obediently replied with an "okay".

The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite lively. Xie Yan, who was not shy or quiet by nature, quickly opened up and joined in.

After the meal, everyone went their separate ways.

Wen Jiayue and Shen Fuhan carried Zhaozhao at the back, watching their backs.

Marrying a good man and finding a good match is the happiest thing.

"That's wonderful," Wen Jiayue exclaimed. "Our Marquis's mansion will only get better and better."

Shen Fuhan hummed in agreement: "It will get lively in a few years after the children are born."

Wen Jiayue asked in surprise, "Where did these children come from?"

“We’ll have one in a few years,” Shen Fuhan put his arm around her shoulder. “Our Mumu should be born soon.”

"It's not even close to being settled yet, why do you keep bringing it up?"

Shen Fuhan said in a serious tone, "It seems we still need to work hard tonight to try and get things started as soon as possible."

Wen Jiayue gave him a reproachful look: "You're being indecent."
