As Duan Yarong’s screams got louder from inside the house, Zhao Youlin’s heart flew to her mouth. She turned her head and said to Mu Tingfeng, “My mother is coming here. Hurry up and go. If she finds out that you are here to see me at this hour of the night, she’ll have our heads.”

After Zhao Youlin said that, she felt a little frustrated. As a matter of fact, they were obviously newlyweds. There was nothing wrong with them being together, yet their meeting now somehow seemed like a forbidden rendezvous. It was unbearable to look at.

Listening to Duan Yarong’s yelling, Mu Tingfeng understood that he could not do anything that was inappropriate for minors tonight. Although he felt that it was a pity, his face was as calm as ever. He leaned closer and kissed Zhao Youlin lightly on her cheek before he whispered in her ear, “Wait for me to come and pick up you and Joy tomorrow. We will continue the rest tomorrow.”

Zhao Youlin was taken aback by Mu Tingfeng’s sudden bold move. When she realized what Mu Tingfeng had just said to her, she blushed instantly from shyness. When she wanted to lash out at him, only to find that Mu Tingfeng had left already.

Zhao Youlin could only swallow her anger, which was stuck in her heart. Out of frustration, she gritted her teeth and cursed, “Darn it, you rascal…”

He had got the audacity to say they would continue the rest tomorrow! Continue to do what? Guys’ brains were between their legs indeed. Mu Tingfeng might seem mild on the outside, but he was actually wild on the inside. He seemed to be an ascetic. Couldn’t he think about something useful with his head?

Zhao Youlin stood in the courtyard thinking about that in anger. She did not even notice that Duan Yarong was walking toward her from a distance.

“Youlin, here you are. Why didn’t you answer me when I called your name?”

Duan Yarong’s voice came from beside Zhao Youlin, with a trace of underlying protest. Her voice instantly pulled back Zhao Youlin’s wandering mind. She turned around and saw Duan Yarong, who was rushing toward her. While she was glad that Mu Tingfeng had left in time, she put on an awkward smile on her face and said, “I was thinking about stuff just now. I didn’t notice you were calling for me. Is there anything you need, Mom?”

“Nothing. I just saw that you weren’t in your room, and I couldn’t find you for quite some time. I thought something had happened to you.” Duan Yarong said. Then all of a sudden, it was as if she had seen something, as she exclaimed, “Oh, why is your face so red, Youlin? Are you not feeling well?”

Zhao Youlin was startled. She subconsciously reached out and touched her own face. She forced a smile and said, “Is… it? Probably because I feel a little stuffy.”

“You feel stuffy?”

“Yes. I felt a little stuffy when I was sitting in my room just now. That’s why I came out here to get some air.”

Duan Yarong looked at Zhao Youlin in a dubious manner. Then, she suddenly seemed to understand something as she teasingly said, “I doubt that it’s because you felt stuffy.”

When Zhao Youlin heard what she said, she could feel her heartbeat pause for a second. The first thought that popped up in her mind was Duan Yarong must have found out that Mu Tingfeng was here!

She was thinking of how to explain with Duan Yarong. Then, she heard Duan Yarong add, “It must be because you are nervous about getting married tomorrow, am I right?”

“Huh?” Zhao Youlin’s eyes widened as she stared at Duan Yarong in shock.

In Duan Yarong’s eyes, Zhao Youlin’s current expression led her to believe that she was right and Zhao Youlin was feeling guilty now. She smiled and said, “I get it, I get it. We are all like that before the wedding. You will still feel it even though you have been married once before. You will feel better once you are married. Don’t worry about anything tomorrow. Your dad and I are here for you. Nothing will go wrong. Or did you think it over and you feel like you don’t want to get married?”

“Mom!” Zhao Youlin shouted. There was an awkward expression on her face as she smiled. She moved her lips, though she did not know how to explain this beautiful misunderstanding. All she could do was stay silent while she continued to blush slightly.

Seeing Zhao Youlin’s expression, Duan Yarong could not help but keep thinking that a grown girl would eventually forget her own home when she got married. She was already like this before she got married, would she still remember her elders once she married him tomorrow?

Duan Yarong heaved a sigh. She did not have the heart to press her on this subject, so she said in a resigned manner, “Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s getting late now. Although you feel cooler out here because of the cold night wind, you will catch a cold if you keep standing here for long. You’d better go back inside and rest now. You need to get up early tomorrow and run around for a lot of errands. How are you going to have the energy to do that if you keep doing this?”

“Alright, I got it. I will go back and get to bed now. You should do the same too, Mom. Or you will get overexerted tomorrow as you have so much to take care of.”

“Okay, okay. I got it.”

Zhao Youlin bid Duan Yarong a simple good night and watched Duan Yarong leave before she could finally be completely relieved. She looked up at the full moon above her head.

She suddenly felt an indescribable expectation for the future.

The president of Sheng Huang Group, who was also the eldest son of the Zhao family, together with the eldest son of the Mu family, who was the president of Mu Feng Group, were going to hold their weddings on the same day. What’s more, the eldest son of the Mu family was going to marry Young Master Yichen’s sister, which made them brothers-in-law with each other. Their weddings were destined to be exceptional events.

Early in the morning, Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen, together with their groups of best men, had already gone to the pre-booked church, waiting patiently for the arrival of their bride.

On the other hand, their two brides had gotten up early to get dressed, trying to show their most beautiful side in front of everyone on this day.

Zhao Youlin’s getup for the day, from her hairstyle to her wedding dress, was all taken care of by Duan Yarong.

Duan Yarong looked at the beautiful face in the mirror that looked so much like her best friend’s when she was young. Her heart was filled with a mixture of emotions of happiness and reluctance, she did not know how she could describe what she was feeling at the moment.

Zhao Youlin seemed to understand Duan Yarong’s complicated feelings. She reached out to hold Duan Yarong’s hand that was on her shoulder and said comfortingly, “Mom, cheer up. I am just going to get married, it is not like we will never see each other again. I am still working in the company, we will still be able to meet every day.”

“How is this the same?” Duan Yarong muttered. Looking at Zhao Youlin’s face, she said indignantly, “My daughter is so brilliant. Marrying you to the brat from the Mu family, it just feels like he’s not worth it.”

Zhao Youlin exclaimed with a bitter smile on her face, “Mom!”

Seeing her reaction, Duan Yarong continued to lament, “What? I can’t even criticize him? As people say, a grown girl would eventually forget her own home when she gets married indeed. You are siding with him now even before you marry him. Are you going to take his side from now on and forget about your dad and myself?”

“Mom, you are going too far! I am still your daughter even if I am married. How could I forget you?”

Duan Yarong did not say anything. She just looked deeply at Zhao Youlin for a long time. She could not help but reach out and touch Zhao Youlin’s face. Then, she said tenderly, “I am not asking you to remember us all the time. I only hope that you won’t do anything rash when you suffer any grievance out there. Keep in mind that you still have your grandfather, father, mother here for you. All problems can be solved. We will always be there for you and support you..”
