Chapter 1193: No Wonder He Looks Down on Others

As the wedding guests left the room, He Jinxuan took advantage of the moment to pull Xinyan into his arms: "Yanyan, I finally married you, we finally got married."

Xinyan was already blushing from being teased by others earlier, and now, with He Jinxuan’s straightforward words, her face turned even more crimson.

He Jinxuan was completely captivated: "Yanyan, you look so beautiful today."

Upon hearing his compliment, Xinyan decided to tease him: "Are you saying I wasn’t beautiful before?"

He Jinxuan’s eyes were filled with laughter: "You know that’s not what I meant, you just love teasing me."

Xinyan smiled: "Who’s teasing you?"

He Jinxuan kissed Xinyan on the cheek and pressed his forehead against hers: "I was wrong, even if you’re teasing me, I’m delighted."

Xinyan was about to say something when the door was pushed open, and a clear child’s voice rang out: "What are you doing?"

Startled, they quickly separated and looked towards the source of the sound.

There they saw He Jian Country’s daughter, He Jiahui, standing there holding a cup.

He Jinxuan first settled Xinyan by the bedside before speaking: "Jiahui, why did you come over?"

He Jiahui glanced at the cup in her hand: "I’m bringing sugar water for Third Aunt."

He Jinxuan laughed, walked up to take the cup from her hand: "Thank you, our Jiahui."

Xinyan, hearing this, stood up to open the cabinet, grabbed a handful of milk candy: "Thank you for the sugar water, Third Aunt gives you candy."

He Jiahui stared at the candy in Xinyan’s hand, swallowing involuntarily, before looking up at Xinyan: "Third Aunt, I only want one piece of candy."

Originally, Grandma asked cousin Xudong to bring sugar water to Third Aunt, and given what her mother said earlier, she dared not take all the candy for herself.

Mother He thought that the third daughter-in-law must be busy after entering the house, so she wanted to send a cup of water over. She had just spoken to her eldest grandson when her second daughter-in-law interjected: "Oh, let my Jiahui deliver it instead. What if the young couple are being intimate inside, Xudong as a young man would feel awkward."

Sister He, Wang Erni, didn’t want to argue with her, and thinking about what she said, felt it was reasonable, so she pulled her son aside.

Outside the door, Gao Yumei heard Xinyan’s words and quickly popped out: "Jiahui, your Third Aunt is giving it to you, hurry up and take it."

Ever since He Jian Country injured his leg, life at home hadn’t been easy. If it wasn’t for her cousin opening a small workshop later and He Jian Country helping over there, who knows how it would’ve turned out?

On a joyous day, regardless of what Gao Yumei’s intentions were, Xinyan didn’t want to expose her, so she smiled at He Jiahui: "Take it."

Gao Yumei stepped closer, reaching out to help take it: "I’ll keep it for her."

Then she spoke to her daughter: "Thank Third Aunt."

Having heard her mother’s words, He Jiahui obediently said: "Thank you, Third Aunt."

Gao Yumei took the candy and wasn’t planning to leave yet, glanced around the room: "Third Sister-in-law, you really are blessed, actually, I’m saying Jinxuan’s blessed to have married you."

He Jinxuan naturally understood why Second Sister-in-law was praising them, but given the joyful occasion, he didn’t want any trouble.

Seeing neither of them respond, Gao Yumei headed towards the neatly folded quilt on the bed. Just as she was about to touch it, Xinyan spoke: "Jinxuan, it’s getting late, check outside for cars, and arrange for the family to leave. Let me change my clothes in the meantime."

He Jinxuan squeezed Xinyan’s hand: "Alright, I’ll arrange it now."

He then turned to Gao Yumei: "Second Sister-in-law, let’s step outside, Yanyan needs to change clothes."

Gao Yumei thought Xinyan was being pretentious but dared not say it aloud. She had her own reasons, especially since her brother-in-law had made it clear she needed to consult with his wife, so she couldn’t afford to offend them.

Sullenly, she took her daughter and followed He Jinxuan out.

Once everyone was out, Xinyan closed the door, drew the curtains, and swiftly took out clothes she had prepared in advance from space.

She figured during the toast, the atmosphere might get rowdy, and wearing a dress could be inconvenient.

She changed into a red fitted short-sleeved shirt she made herself, paired with red straight pants. Though such attire might only be suitable for a day like today, this was a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, nothing to regret.

Not just anyone could pull off wearing red like that. Regularly drinking Space Stream Water made Xinyan’s skin tender as water, white as porcelain, and paired with her current aura, she looked stunning.

As soon as she opened the door, He Jinxuan waiting outside was mesmerized, his heartbeat racing as if rebelling.

Even the He family waiting in the yard were taken aback by her beauty, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

He Yanqing’s son, Nie Daming, said childishly: "Third Aunt looks so beautiful."

He Jinxuan turned and gave him a thumbs up: "My nephew indeed has taste."

Being praised like this, Nie Daming shyly buried his face in his mother’s embrace.

He Yanqing smiled at her son: "Why feeling shy now."

He Jinxuan took Xinyan’s hand: "Let’s go, it’s just the right time."

He then leaned in to whisper in Xinyan’s ear: "Wife, I wish I could tuck you in my pocket so no one else would see your beauty."

Xinyan playfully glared at him: "Where did you learn to be so sweet-talking?"

He Jinxuan whispered back: "Every word is from the heart, but if you want to judge the sweetness, try tasting it yourself when we get back."

Xinyan’s blush came back, fearing he might say something more daring, coughed lightly: "Let’s head over, they’re waiting for us to host."

He Jinxuan affectionately tightened his hold on her hand: "Alright, whatever my wife says goes."

He then addressed the He family: "Let’s go, time to head over."

When they stepped out of the yard, guests outside Vice Captain Lu’s courtyard all turned to look. Seeing He Jinxuan holding Xinyan’s hand, there was yet another wave of praise.

Someone spoke aloud: "Vice Captain He sure is lucky, no wonder he’s so selective."

"You got it right, heard the wife of Captain He is a college graduate."

"High education, beautiful looks, great family background, such a wife is truly a rare find, and Captain He lucked out."

Among the crowd, someone joked: "Captain He, does the sister-in-law have any sisters?"

He Jinxuan opened the car door, guarding Xinyan’s head as she got in, and replied with a laugh: "My wife’s family only has this one beloved daughter, so don’t dream on."

As his words fell, everyone laughed.

The scene was overheard by Fu Guangying, who was dispersing candies nearby, her face nearly failing to hide her displeasure, especially towards Xinyan seated in the car.

At the same time, her desire to compete grew even stronger.
