Chapter 178 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 8
Her second aunt went to business sensing her mood wasn't good. She said, "Aiyoo, don't take Wanwan's words seriously. She hasn't matured enough. You are our loveliest child. Don't mind her words."
Xue Lin let out a laugh. "Someone who is seven years older than me, she hasn't matured and you want me to be matured. Auntie, don't you think you are asking for too much?"
Her second aunt said, "Ah, Xue Lin, you are a smart girl. I know you would understand. Your fifth brother is waiting for you to join them in the gang. Come quickly. Don't be upset. I'll make lots of spicy food for you."
Xue Lin smirked. She asked her, "Are you trying to bribe me, auntie?"
Her aunt didn't seem to mind her behavior. She went along with her, "Yes, yes, you are so clever. Of course you will know. By the way, I heard that you married someone in a flash. Tell me about it!" She was excited to know everything about her mysterious husband whose name Xue Lin didn't mention.
Xue Lin pretended to yawn and stated, "I want to but I had a long journey today. Why don't we talk about it later?"
Her aunt noticed that she didn't want to talk about it. She gave in. "All right, I will let you rest. Come when you can and tell me the story of your marriage. And, you must come to your fifth brother's wedding."
Xue Lin announced, "Fine, I will check my schedule."
Her second aunt sternly, yet adoringly warned her, "That won't do. You have to come or I'll beat you up."
Xue Lin chuckled. It had been a while since someone talked to her that way. She liked it. "Haha, fine then. I'll try my best."
"That's my girl," her second aunt finally hung up.
Xue Lin placed the mobile on the table and looked at Ge Chen. She inquired, "Can we go to my cousin's wedding? When is Xiao Lan's wedding?"
Ge Chen was untying his bathrobe. Upon hearing her question, he calculated and answered her, "If we do attend my cousin-in-law's wedding, then we won't have the time to go back to B City. We have to directly fly to Italy."
Xue Lin didn't mind a journey where she had to sit down all the way. She told him, "I can handle the journey. What about you?"
Ge Chen stared at his wife directly and provocatively. He questioned her calmly and quietly, "My wife, are you doubting your husband's stamina?" His grey eyes sparkled with a hidden fire.
Xue Lin's heart skipped a beat for an unknown reason. She answered him in her usual poker face, "Not at all. I'm just asking."
She didn't know why her heart raced after he asked her in that manner. Even his eyes looked different for some reason.
Ge Chen changed the subject. "You need to look away or… do you want me to see undressed?" His eyes flickered with amusement.
Xue Lin instantly turned red. "Huh? Wh-why would you undress here? Go to the washroom!" Out of nervousness, she raised her voice.
Ge Chen stood right in front of her. His bathrobe was parted and she could see his muscles. She looked away feeling uncomfortable. Because of her pale skin, her blush was vividly visible.
He didn't have enough of her embarrassing side. He wished to tease her more, "Why should I? We are now husband and wife. And also, didn't you already see E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G?" He specially syllabled the last word causing her neck and ears to turn crimson.
"No, I didn't, you pervert!" Xue Lin shouted and threw the pillow at him.
Ge Chen chuckled and put down the pillow on the bed. After that, he went to the washroom to change his clothes. It meant that he deliberately made fun of her knowing that she would react.
Xue Lin covered her eyes and rolled on the couch. She remembered what she had seen today after waking up. His toned boy was nicely shaped. He had muscles. He had fair skin and a striking feature. And down there…
She lamented in her mind, 'Ah, my innocent eyes! Ah, my eyes! Give me innocence back! I want it back…'
Her internal screaming couldn't be heard by anyone.

Just as they planned, weeks later, they went to the North West city Karamay.
Karamay is a prefecture-level city in the north of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China. The name of the city comes from the Uyghur language and means "black oil", referring to the oil fields near the city.
Xue Lin excitedly described, "The Fa Family's main house is situated in the center of the city. My great-great-great-grandfather owned the whole city. Can you believe it?"
"Your family is very rich," Ge Chen commented. He liked how jolly and talkative she was today.
Xue Lin waved her hands. "That's not it. My great-great-great-grandfather was rich but he got many kids, and his kids got more kids and their kids, and then their kids. Many relatives sold their lands and spent them on gambling or alcohol. They got money but they didn't know how to use it or invest it. They got wealth but no brain. You know what happens to those brainless wealthy people, don't you? They become poor."
She added, "My grandfather wanted to sell the lands but my father and uncles didn't let him. My father built a house here too."
Ge Chen curiously asked, "Are we going to stay there?"
Xue Lin denied while shaking her head. "Nope, I know a good place for us to stay. That's why I didn't let you get a hotel room for us."
"I'm looking forward to it," Ge Chen commented.
"Oh, another thing. You cannot eat wherever you want. You shouldn't accept drinks or food if you are offered by my uncles, aunts, or my cousins. The more they pester you to join them or eat something, the more you should deny. You will only eat when I tell you to," Xue Lin warned him.
