Ge Chen and others were welcomed warmly by a group of butlers and maids. They were excited to meet the bride but to their surprise, they were greeted by a sleeping middle schooler. Moreover, she was in their Young Master's arms. They didn't need brains to understand who she was. It was the first time they saw their Young Master carry a girl. It couldn't be other than the Young Mistress. Their minds were blank. However, they didn't express it. They were professionals.
Ge Chen turned to face his grandparents and friends. He said, "You can go to your rooms and take some rest. I'll come down shortly." Saying that he left with Xue Lin. He carried her to their bedroom. It was completely different from what he saw last time. He could see red roses and red candles everywhere. Bed cover, pillow cover, the comforter, and even the curtains in the windows are all red.
Everything was red and there was a sleeping woman in his arms. Ge Chen finally felt like a married man. He looked down at his sleeping wife. The yellow lights of the red candles were helping her white jade-like face to glow. Her red lips were tightly shut and her breathing was regular. The pink qipao suited her well. It complimented her skin. She looked like a fairy from a distant land who captured a lone wolf's heart.
Ge Chen's gaze deepened. He felt her softness. His palms were burning. He whispered in a hoarse voice, "Lin, today is our wedding night. Are you going to sleep? You will miss delicious cuisine."
Xue Lin didn't move. She was sleeping soundly. Her face was buried in his chest. This scene made his heart warm. He could understand his childhood friend Mu Liang's situation now. No wonder he couldn't keep his hands to himself. Even Ge Chen himself was having a hard time.
He walked slowly in the direction of the bed decorated with red roses and gently lowered her down on the bed. When Xue Lin's back of the head touched the soft pillow, she stirred a little and moved her eyes. She took her time focusing on what was in front of her. Sensing that she was lying on the bed, she abruptly sat up.
Since Ge Chen was still leaning toward her, her forehead touched her left cheek. She didn't have the time to notice the skin-ship. She saw candles and roses and asked hesitantly, "Where am I?"
Ge Chen didn't move away from her. He let his face lean against her forehead and gently replied, "We reached our home. This is our bedroom."
Upon hearing his voice so near, Xue Lin realized how close their proximity was. Her eyes glanced for a split second over his face, sharp nose, and soft lips. Remembering the time when he kissed her in front of so many guests, her face flushed. Her heartbeat increased and she averted her gaze. She carefully moved away from him and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Ge Chen affectionately rubbed her head. "I did but you didn't wake up. Are you hungry?"
'Isn't he acting weird today? Since he kissed me in front of everyone, I have to be careful when we are alone in the bedroom.' Xue Lin coughed and answered, "I'm starving. Has the party ended?"
Ge Chen quietly replied, "No, we will start after freshening up." He noticed her guarded up. Thus, he moved away.
"I better take a bath then. I'm feeling uncomfortable wearing the clothes…" Xue Lin gasped realizing that she was wearing the same clothes she had been wearing the whole day and she was on the BED!!! She quickly got off the bed and said, "We need to change the bedsheet. I will never sleep on this bed sheet until it is washed."
Ge Chen paused and then started to chuckle. He completely forgot that she was a clean freak. He said, "Relax, it's just the bedcover. I'll remove it for you. You can go and take a bath. There are clothes in the closet. Then, we can go downstairs."
Xue Lin looked around. "Where is the closet?"
Ge Chen walked past her and opened a door. The light of the room lightened up and Xue Lin saw a walk-in closet. Her jaw dropped seeing all kinds of casual dresses, party dresses, evening gowns, expensive jewelry, and different types of shoes, bags, hats, and other accessories.
When she found her voice, she said, "Don't tell me you wasted money on THIS."
Ge Chen lied, "I didn't. They are all your wedding presents from grandmother and grandfather. They think your clothes are for middle schoolers. So, they bought these dresses and accessories."
Xue Lin protested, "But I love to wear dresses like middle schoolers. It makes me look young and cute." Her expression was very serious when she called herself 'young and cute'.
Ge Chen's eyes glinted with amusement and he coolly said, "You are young, cute, and beautiful. You can always wear your clothes but you'll need these clothes when you attend parties."
"Oh, yeah, I represent the Su Family now." Xue Lin sighed. 'Being with a rich family is surely troublesome.' She couldn't speak her mind this time. She didn't want to hurt Ge Chen's feelings. She didn't wish for him to think that she felt burdened.
"Then for the party what should I wear? I have no clue about fashion." She not only had no fashion sense but also had zero interest in it.
"That's why you have two personal maids to take care of you. Since it's only a small party, wear something casual." Ge Chen chose a light blue dress for her. It was simple and elegant. The clothing was comfortable to touch. He also chose a pair of white sandals, a pair of diamond earrings. "I think you will find undergarments in that drawer." He pointed out in the furthest drawer. "You will find towels, bathrobes, and a hairdryer inside the bathroom. Do you need maids to bathe you?"
"Are you crazy? No need. Now get out." Xue Lin snatched the dress he was holding and pushed him out of the closet. She couldn't take undergarments in his presence.
