Chapter 509 - 426: Is Your Physical Strength Still Okay?
"Seven kinds only! You’re still three short! If the groom can’t name them, this door stays shut!" Bai Shasha covered her mouth and giggled.
Xu Er and Long Wu’s groomsmen squad behind them were frantic, but the key was—everything they could say, he’d already said!
Amid the noisy chatter outside, Leng Mochen’s cool voice rang out: "I love you!" (Nanchang dialect)
The folks in the hallway froze—dialects count too?
Why didn’t anyone say so earlier? They could’ve rattled off a few tokens themselves!
"I love ya!" (Sichuan dialect)
"Pfft!"
"Haha!"
"Leng Er! You’re really putting your all into this!"
"..."
Everyone inside and out of the door was laughing hard—the ever-dignified Leng Er wasn’t holding back when it came to dialects!
Li Si was laughing so hard tears were nearing the brink, but she immediately tilted her head upward and held back—otherwise, she’d have to redo her makeup!
"Still... still one last one!" Bai Shasha held back her laughter but relentlessly shouted.
"I love noin!" (Shanghai dialect)
"Oh wow, that’s allowed too?!"
"Why not! Ten exactly! Beautiful ladies inside, open up now! We’ll present our generous red envelopes—hurry and open the door!"
Bai Shasha carefully opened the door just a crack, "Let me tell you all. No pushing! If you wanna come in, hand over those red envelopes first!"
Leng Mochen directly instructed Xu Er to grab red envelopes from the bright red gift box they were holding. The groomsmen scrambled to pass ten or so large envelopes inside, each stuffed with 9,999 yuan—symbolizing eternal harmony and prosperity.
This stunned Simeng’s group of young women—they all knew the groom’s family was well-off, but envelopes this substantial?! Just the feel and thickness indicated close to 10,000 yuan!
The gesture was almost overwhelming!
By the door, Wang Man received one as well, but her expression froze. Inwardly, she couldn’t help but feel jealous—how did Li Si end up marrying into a family this wealthy? They’re disgustingly rich! She herself had gifted only a thousand for the wedding, and now, the red envelope for guarding the door alone was worth ten times that! Round trip tickets, five-star hotel accommodations—everything covered—and even profiting from the wedding gift? Seriously?
Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan weren’t fazed, continuing their efforts to close the door, while Liu Xiaole tried pitching in too.
But lacking unity, and after getting their hands on such heavy envelopes, some were unsure what to do.
How could just three girls possibly withstand the strength of that group of bulls?
The door burst open under the group’s force, and Leng Mochen led his party inside, catching his first sight of his bride.
She was decked out in a brilliantly radiant wedding dress, her ink-black hair swept into an elegant updo adorned with a glittering crown, making her delicate face appear even more fair and enchanting. Her light makeup enhanced her beauty immensely, her sparkling dark eyes shimmering as they gazed at him, while her slightly puckered cherry-red lips seemed to beg for a kiss.
Li Si caught his utterly enamored expression. The two had been together long enough that she understood exactly what that gaze meant.
Leng Mochen was dressed sharply in a black suit for the day. His meticulously styled hair gave off an air of charm and freshness that went beyond mere good looks.
She playfully fluttered her eyes at him, radiating innocence and teasing hint of mischief.
This thoroughly stoked the fire in Leng Mochen’s heart, but given the occasion, it was clearly not the right time. Suppressing his impulse to kiss her immediately, he opted instead to gaze at her with utter tenderness.
The emcee accompanying them rattled off a litany of celebratory congratulations, and the couple snuggled together for photos. Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan, however, felt their earlier door-blocking antics hadn’t been fulfilling enough.
Spotting a platter of fruit nearby, a new idea struck them—they grabbed an apple for the couple to eat in tandem, only to yank it away just as they were about to take a bite.
Leng Mochen shot Bai Shasha an approving look—he liked this kind of game!
"Muah!" A peck on Li Si’s lips. "Muah!" Another kiss!
Again and again, he deliberately kissed Li Si’s lips during subsequent rounds of the game, much to the delight of the onlookers enjoying the spectacle and egging them on. Of course, Leng Mochen himself was benefiting immensely.
Li Si occasionally glared at him for his antics, and finally, Bai Shasha realized she was being used.
Frustrated, she decided to let them eat the apple and declared an end to the shenanigans!
They then transitioned to the classic wedding game—searching for the bride’s missing shoes.
Finding the first shoe was a cinch—he’d already been clued in by Li Si, effortlessly retrieving it from under her wedding gown.
Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan exchanged confident glances—the second shoe wouldn’t be so easy.
In fact, Bai Shasha defiantly stationed herself in front of the TV stand, only for Leng Mochen to step into the bedroom, discreetly dish out a few more red envelopes, and swiftly deduce that the shoe was indeed hidden near the TV stand.
Bai Shasha had no choice but to move aside—those groomsmen were itching to strike up conversations with the bridesmaids anyway!
Xu Er adhered to his "my wife, my rules" philosophy and took it upon himself to pull Bai Shasha away.
When Leng Mochen retrieved the hidden wedding shoe, Bai Shasha gritted her teeth and scowled at Li Si. "Li Si, you’re so sneaky! You tipped them off!"
"I didn’t say a word, okay? You gave yourself away!" Li Si feigned innocence, though inwardly, she was laughing with delight.
As Leng Mochen slid the shoe onto Li Si’s foot, he casually chimed in, "Yep, wherever you’re standing is bound to be the hiding spot."
Bai Shasha still wanted to argue, but Xu Er tugged her aside, pointing out that this was their big day—it’s all about having fun. Taking it too seriously would kill the mood!
With both wedding shoes in place, the couple exchanged a deep, soul-stirring look. Under the emcee’s cue, "And now, we invite the groom to carry his bride!"
Leng Mochen swooped Li Si into a princess carry, stepping steadily toward the stairs.
Li Si caught sight of a car outside bearing two glinting L-shaped logos under the sunlight and surprisedly asked him, "Your idea?"
Truly, this was a delightful surprise—she hadn’t expected him to arrange this!
"Uh-huh! Get it?" Leng Mochen lowered his gaze to his little bride in his arms. In this world, his greatest wealth was Li Si—the woman who understood him like no other, in this lifetime and the last.
Li Si instantly grasped the meaning behind the LL and let a smile spread across her face: "Of course!" The other L stood for "Lu," didn’t it?
His hearty laugh earned shocked side-eyes from the crowd behind him. Was this really the aloof Leng Er they all thought they knew?
Clearly, she was his perfect complement—it seemed true love could soften even the frostiest hearts. Judging by his laughter, he was deeply satisfied with this bride of his—and had placed her firmly in his heart!
Men from families like theirs typically entered arranged marriages designed to strengthen alliances with the Yue Family. Post-wedding, they were often cordial at best.
The husbands might have a few beauties waiting outside while the wives at home turned a blind eye.
Everyone knew how it all worked, deep down.
After the raucous events, they finally climbed into the car, and Li Si glanced at Leng Mochen—unfazed. "Your stamina’s improved, huh?"
Leng Mochen settled back into his seat, shooting her an amused look: "Your husband’s physical condition’s not too shabby, right?"
Li Si glared at him—besides the driver up front, there was a young boy riding in the companion car. Could he not corrupt the kid’s mind, please? (To be continued.
