Chapter 587: Chapter 610

Mr. Su also felt a sourness in his eyes. Beside him, Qin Yue whispered, “Leader, don’t be reluctant, we’ll follow to Living Yama’s house shortly.”

“I’m not going! I am Ningning’s grandfather, how could I go to the groom’s side?” Mr. Su had inquired about rural customs, and of course, he intended to follow them.

“All right, then I won’t go either.”

“You’re young, and since you’re Qigang’s friend, of course, you should go.”

“I reckon he doesn’t like me much.” Actually, Qin Yue intended to keep a close eye on his own wife, to prevent any ill-intentioned people from spiriting her away.

Mr. Su glanced at Qin Yue with a sagacious look in his eyes but did not point this out.

Xu Qigang’s house was even livelier, buzzing from noon until evening, with countless people coming and going. Many didn’t even recognize Zhao Lanzhi and Xu Xianxiong; most were Qigang’s friends. Some were dressed in rescue uniforms, others in suits and leather shoes.

These people had an impressive presence and extraordinary conversation, and it was clear that they had a good relationship with Qigang. Many had even come from afar, having learned of his wedding through other channels.

Upon entering, they first complained about something.

It was only then that Zhao Lanzhi realized that, over the years, her son had indeed made a world of his own outside.

It was supposed to be time for the wedding prank in the evening, but due to Living Yama’s reputation, everyone suddenly chickened out.

Sheng Ning waited in the room for Xu Qigang. The drinking outside never came to an end, and she fell asleep out of exhaustion before he arrived. In the middle of the night, she felt a tickling sensation on her body and swatted at it, only to find her hand caught and unable to break free.

Sheng Ning opened her eyes sharply, and that was when she realized it was her wedding night.

The next day, Sheng Ning slept until the sun was well up in the sky before waking up groggily. In reality, she hadn’t slept much, only falling into an exhausted slumber as dawn approached.

As Sheng Ning got dressed and out of bed, she felt as if her whole body was falling apart, pain sending her tumbling back into the covers.

“You’re awake?” Xu Qigang, who was in the yard, heard movement in the room and quickly came inside.

“Get out, I’m getting dressed.” Now that they were married, he was completely unrestrained, leaving her utterly defenseless.

She finally understood why Living Yama could be good buddies with Little Hooligan—their hidden attributes were clearly the same!

In the main hall outside, Zhao Lanzhi saw her son emerge triumphantly and quickly whispered, “How was it? How was it?”

“What do you mean ‘how was it’?”

Impatient, Zhao Lanzhi pressed, “Are you really dumb or just pretending, you brat? I’m asking how your wife is.”

Qigang just smiled without replying, which nearly drove Zhao Lanzhi mad.

“Come on, tell me. Don’t rush me.”

“Mom, what does how my wife is have to do with you?” He was content if he thought she was fine, and besides, with his wife being so wonderful, his mother was sure to like her.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lanzhi pretended to wipe away non-existent tears, feigning heartbreak. “Whimper… you truly are a magpie, marrying a wife and forgetting your mother…”

Xu Qigang shouted into the yard, “Dad, come take your wife away.”

“Stop, stop, stop…” Zhao Lanzhi hurriedly protested, then asked insinuatingly, “Son, tell me, could last night have led to a pregnancy?”

“…” Xu Qigang blushed slightly at the question and paused before saying, “Xiao Ning is still too young, and it’s not suitable for her to have children right now. Moreover, just having been promoted, it’s not the right time for her to have children either.”

Xiao Ning was a dancer, and for a dance artist, having a child would mean the end of her dancing career. She was so talented, and dancing was her biggest passion; he couldn’t bear to let that go.
