The two of them cuddled in bed for a while longer before finally getting up.
Just as they stepped out of their room after washing up, they saw Lu Xun walking over, rubbing his eyes. Mom, Dad, why are we back in this big house again?
Shu Qingqing and Lu Bochuan exchanged a glance.
Could it be that Lu Xun also had the same dream as them?
Shu Qingqing pulled Lu Xun close, just about to ask him more carefully, when they heard a flurry of hurried footsteps.
Lu Yu ran over panting and immediately asked, Mom, Dad, did you guys travel back too?
Now Shu Qingqing was absolutely certain that it really wasn't a dream.
But now that they had all returned, this bizarre experience could be considered a beautiful memory.
Even though it was already the end of August, the weather was still incredibly hot. Shu Qingqing had stayed home the entire summer, refusing to go out no matter who asked.
On the morning of September 10th, it finally rained.
The air after the rain was incredibly fresh, and it wasn't as hot anymore. Ouyang Hua called again to invite her out shopping, and this time, Shu Qingqing agreed.
They had agreed to go shopping, but Ouyang Hua brought her to a bridal boutique instead.
Are you and Pei Yu planning to hold your wedding? Shu Qingqing asked.
Something like that, Ouyang Hua replied evasively.
After entering, the two were led up to the second floor.
The second floor was spacious, with gorgeous wedding dresses hanging everywhere.
Ouyang Hua lifted her chin. Qingqing, which one do you think looks good?
Shu Qingqing looked around.
There was a dazzling array of wedding dresses, each with its own beauty, but she immediately set her eyes on the one in the center.
The dress was an elegant and grand strapless mermaid style. The upper half was made of a matte satin fabric, while the lower half flared out from the hips into a mermaid tail. The skirt was crafted from lightweight tulle, embellished with three-dimensional, full roses of the same color. It was romantic and magnificent.
Ouyang Hua had originally been worried she might pick a different one. Seeing her walk toward the center piece, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. You like this one? Do you want to try it on?
Shu Qingqing turned her head. It's your wedding, why would I try it on?
Ouyang Hua said, Uh... just try it on for me. Anyway, our height and weight are about the same. Just treat it as trying it on for my sake. Look at all these dresses, if I really had to try them on one by one, who knows how long it would take.
Even if they had the same height and weight, the final look would definitely be different. However, with such a beautiful wedding dress right in front of her, any girl would want to try it on. Shu Qingqing agreed.
Seeing her agree, Ouyang Hua immediately said, Then you try this on first, I'll go pick another one.
Alright. Shu Qingqing nodded, and a shop assistant quickly came over to help her.
Although this wedding dress wasn't a particularly complicated design, it still took quite some effort to put on.
Could you please go and call the girl who was just here? Shu Qingqing said to the assistant.
Okay. The assistant straightened her skirt and turned to leave.
Footsteps soon approached from outside, and a hand reached in through the curtain.
Huahua, come look, this dress is quite... Shu Qingqing was speaking, but she saw that the person walking in wasn't Ouyang Hua.
Lu Bochuan slowly walked up to her side, wrapped his arm around her waist, and met her gaze in the mirror.
Beautiful, Lu Bochuan said, leaning down to kiss her shoulder.
You... why are you here?
Do you like this wedding dress? Lu Bochuan replied with a question of his own.
I like it... but you haven't answered me, why are you here?
Because I want to be the first person to see you in a wedding dress. Qingqing, are you willing to wear this dress and marry me?
Shu Qingqing quickly realized something. You asked Ouyang Hua to bring me here?
Lu Bochuan nodded.
You don't mean to say... we're having a wedding? Shu Qingqing asked again.
Lu Bochuan said, Yes, holding our wedding. Mrs. Lu, are you willing?
Before Shu Qingqing could speak, a head suddenly popped out from behind the curtain.
I think it's redundant to ask, Qingqing is definitely willing. Let me tell you, Qingqing, Lu Bochuan commissioned a designer to custom-make this dress right after attending Chu Wei's wedding. That shows how deep his sincerity is.
Shu Qingqing was surprised. Lu Bochuan, you actually... prepared a wedding dress so early?
Lu Bochuan was about to speak, but Ouyang Hua beat him to it again. Exactly! So now you know how much he loves you.
Lu Bochuan frowned, took a few steps over, and said, You can leave now. With that, he moved to pull the curtain shut.
Ouyang Hua curled her lips. Burning bridges after crossing the river.
Though she said that, Ouyang Hua still left quickly.
It was just the two of them again.
Shu Qingqing suddenly felt a bit curious. Lu Bochuan, when did you fall in love with me?
Lu Bochuan thought for a moment but couldn't find an exact answer. Maybe it was that time during your live stream, when netizens asked you who Lu Bochuan was, and you didn't answer. Or maybe... even earlier. Qingqing, I want to have a wedding with you, to let everyone know that I am your husband. Can I?
What Lu Bochuan said was to let everyone know that Lu Bochuan was Shu Qingqing's husband, not that Shu Qingqing was Lu Bochuan's wife.
Shu Qingqing smiled. It would be my absolute honor.
The wedding was held at a private estate Lu Bochuan had purchased in Country F.
Shu Qingqing got up early in the morning to do her makeup. The makeup alone took more than two hours, and styling her hair took another half an hour. By then, it was already ten in the morning.
Shu Qingqing glanced out the window. Are they not here yet?
It's still early. The calculated time for them to come over is 10:58. But even if they arrive, it won't be that easy for them to get in. Ouyang Hua said as she distributed props to the others. You all have to pay attention later. Lu Bochuan is not short of money and will definitely give out a lot of red envelopes, but you absolutely must not be blinded by money. Today, we must make Lu Bochuan dance in public before we let him off.
Shu Qingqing was curious. Does he have to dance? Is singing okay?
Ouyang Hua clicked her tongue. Shu Qingqing, you're no good. You haven't even married Lu Bochuan yet and you've already defected.
Shu Qingqing raised an eyebrow. Sorry, I'm already married to him.
Ouyang Hua paused. Good Qingqing, you have to be on my side this time. Last time, your Lu Bochuan mocked my Pei Yu for his terrible singing. I have to get back at him for my Pei Yu.
Shu Qingqing said, Then you can make him sing a song too.
Ouyang Hua curled her lips. Your Lu Bochuan actually sings quite well, so singing is definitely out of the question. Good Qingqing, just agree, okay?
Actually, Shu Qingqing also wanted to see Lu Bochuan dance. She pretended to be conflicted for a moment before agreeing, Alright then.
Ouyang Hua instantly brightened up.
At 10:58, the sound of knocking rang out right on time.
Immediately after, a pile of red envelopes was stuffed in through the crack under the door.
While the others were busy picking up the red envelopes, Ouyang Hua remained completely unmoved. Lu Bochuan, listen up. If you want to marry our Qingqing, you must perform a dance today.
Lu Bochuan's voice came from outside the door. I can dance. Open the door.
Ouyang Hua felt a hint of suspicion. Was Lu Bochuan actually being this accommodating today? Agreeing to dance just like that?
