Luo Lixi shook her head gently. After drinking that red water, she felt oddly energetic. Now, she even had the illusion that she could stay awake for the whole night...what was she even thinking about staying the whole night?! Luckily Sheng Ruming didn't hear it... Or he would refrain from being considerate and make her regret her words!

"I say, If you are tired, go back to the room to rest, you don't need to stay with me. I can handle the rest." He uttered with so much seriousness that others couldn't have the courage to reject it!

In Luo Lixi's eyes, Sheng Ruming was being considerate and repeated again with concern which looked very sexy in her eyes! She couldn't help but want to pinch his cheeks to crack that stoic face of his.

She wondered if her mind was playing with her. What the hell was happening to be precise?

Luo Lixi hurriedly dismissed that idea of hers in her head, 'No! I can't in front of everyone… but after we will go to our room, guess I can…' 

As soon as Luo Lixi understood what she was thinking, she froze, 'Uh... Did I just think that? Haha...I am going crazy...' she added in her mind and chuckled while he frowned, eyeing her in confusion.

She smiled and shook her head at him and murmured no, but Sheng Ruming insisted. Seeing her look exhausted, he immediately called Aunt Zhu to accompany her to the room to rest.

"You go, I will come after sorting out this place." The man deliberately caressed her arms and spoke in his manly hoarse voice which made her all blushy!

In the eyes of others, it was a blatant display of PDA!

Well, in his eyes, if Luo Lixi even yawned slightly he would think she was sick! Thus, it was justified that he only sent his 'sick' wife to rest so that she wouldn't get very tired… at the later part of the night. 

The young man was just aware of what he should do! Priorities straight! And with his priorities in his mind he was unaware to see what had been her priority...just for him to reveal himself later so that she could pinch?!

Luo Lixi happened to have something to say to Aunt Zhu, so she went along and no longer refused. 

All the things that should be done were done and she was no longer needed. She didn't think that she could get away so easily. 

In other functions like this, she had witnessed that the bride had to stay on the stage with a kind and reserved manner even though she wasn't needed further. 

People would talk with their groups and then go up to give their blessings once in a while. Sometimes, the wedding turned into misery for those who wore high heels for several hours straight.

Luo Lixi felt great that Sheng Ruming was witted enough to prepare flat shoes for her. But she felt a bit sad when she saw herself being short beside him when being photographed. A little bit of regret, nothing else~ It's not a problem, right?!



The two went upstairs together and this time, Aunt Zhu brought her to a new suite. When Luo Lixi entered, however, she didn't give a single glance at the decoration.

Luo Lixi did not rest but pulled Aunt Zhu to the window to see the riverside scenery below. 

The old woman knew that Luo Lixi had something to ask or say so she stared at her back and waited for her to open her mouth. 

After a long time, Luo Lixi turned around and glanced at Aunt Zhu. Her eyes were slightly distracted as she asked, "Did Ruming find and tell his whereabouts to grandfather?"

Aunt Zhu shook her head, "No, Miss." 

"Oh… then, did grandfather find him?" Luo Lixi asked again.

"... No." Aunt Zhu replied.

"Oh, got it... Tomorrow, I will go to the Ming city with Ruming. The Sheng family will organise a wedding reception for me. Grandma, I wanted to bring you with me but leaving grandfather alone without any trusted personal isn't a good idea..." Luo Lixi murmured and turned to look outside. 

Her eyes fell on the river, the same one where once she was thrown. Her deep eyes were thinking something which others couldn't disperse.

"Don't worry, Miss. You can go ahead without any worry. I will take care of old master. I shall leave now. You should take rest." Aunt Zhu nodded and bowed. Then, she left the room to no longer being a bother Luo Lixi. 

After she left, Luo Lixi put down the bouquet of red roses on the nearby table. Her eyes glanced around the well-decorated room. The shiny redness nearly made her blind. 

The fiery red petals made a huge heart on the white bedsheet. Luo Lixi blinked her eyes and turned her attention elsewhere.

Luo Lixi turned her eyes to the clock and thought, 'Well, I guess he will come after a long time…'

As Luo Lixi thought, she relaxed a lot. Without any further thoughts, she lifted her veil and sat down on the chair which was near the windows. 

A little table and two majestic chairs were placed there, for the newlyweds to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the river. Indeed, such a beautiful view it was that anybody would smile and love to see the view outside.

Luo Lixi sat down and saw the shiny glasses and the candles. Then, she picked up the champagne bottle beside the bouquet of roses. After staring at its wrapper, she got an unknown urge.

She licked her lips and glanced at the window, staring outside. Her thoughts were becoming messy, 'No, I can't drink! Not until he comes…'

But Luo Lixi couldn't control her urge. She felt like if she didn't drink anything right then, she would explode. Her mind was becoming hazy and chaotic. Slowly, her eyes, which were becoming hazy and gloomy, turned to the table. 

The bright candle shined powerfully and reflected on the glossy surface of the glasses. The beautiful champagne bottle beside it looked so appetising at that moment that except it, she seemed to not have anything else in the world.

"I am thirsty…" Some dull words came out of her mouth as her eyes slowly drifted to the bottle. She continued to lick her lips and eyed the bottle hungrily.

Suddenly, her hands moved without her noticing and the next second, Luo Lixi found the bottle in her hands. A huge grin bloomed in her lips of which she was unaware. 

"Ruming told me not to drink but… if I drink alone, he won't know…" Luo Lixi thought with her hazy eyes and then she leaned down. With her fingers, she tried to open the bottle but after many attempts, she failed. 

While she was struggling to open the lid, with a creak, the door opened. Luo Lixi's whole body stiffened as she turned her head. 

Wei Airan stood at the door, hesitated to enter when she saw the scene. "Lixi, you… cough!"

Luo Lixi immediately stood up as her eyes became clear. She strolled towards Wei Airan and asked with embarrassment, "Aunty… please come in."

Wei Airan saw her blushing face and chuckled, "Girl, drink after your husband comes. It's not time yet to drink. You know..."

Luo Lixi blushed and nodded furiously. "I understand." 

Then, Wei Airan stopped smiling and spilled out the words she wanted to say, "Some guests are leaving. You should come down for a second."

"Alright." Luo Lixi agreed and hurriedly went out with Wei Airan. When she got there, she thanked people for attending her wedding. 

After everything finished smoothly and the guests left, finally, Luo Lixi gave a broad smile to Sheng Ruming. The man also smiled back and grabbed her hand. 

Under the startled eyes of his parents and Aunt Zhu, Sheng Ruming fled with Luo Lixi. Wei Airan couldn't help laughing and murmuring, "Look, Ah Hao. Xiao Ming is so impatient! Just like you back then…"

Sheng Haotin glanced back at his wife and said with raised eyes, "You are delusional."

When Wei Airan 'hehed', he grabbed her from behind and whispered, "People are watching. Or perhaps you want people to watch?"

Sheng Haotin's action went unnoticed by everyone. The women could only stare at him while smiling sweetly while Aunt Zhu glanced at them and hurriedly went away to tend to the other matters at hand.

...

As soon as Sheng Ruming entered the room, the man hurriedly locked the door. In the next second, Luo Lixi's wrist and waist were grabbed and she was kabedoned against the door in between the door and the man himself.

"My girl, are you prepared?" Sheng Ruming gently touched her chin and asked as he raised her face. Looking at her flushed cheeks, Sheng Ruming thought of one phrase, 'A cute peach!'

Despite the harsh way of trapping her, he was gentle with his touches. 

Both of them stared at each other's eyes, deep into their soul, for a few minutes but it felt like forever to them. In the next second, the man leaned down for a deep kiss but Luo Lixi lifted the flower bouquet and blocked his approach.

His lips now attached against the flower bouquet and his dark eyes widened as he was looking at his now-wife in confusion yet she chuckled at his reaction.
