Chapter 256: Chapter 239: The Wedding Banquet
Early the next morning, Su Yaoguang sat in front of the mirror, looking at the red marks on her neck and turned back, glaring fiercely at the satisfied-looking scoundrel lying there.
"How do you expect me to face people today?"
"Our family’s powder is so good; just apply some and it’ll cover it up." Zhou Wangshu got out of bed and walked over to her, hugging her from behind, "Didn’t you enjoy it a lot last night?"
"I did not." Su Yaoguang felt a bit lacking in conviction.
"Didn’t you? Who was it that kept clinging to me..."
"Can’t keep your mouth shut?" Su Yaoguang glared at him. "Dare to talk nonsense again, and see how I’ll deal with you."
"You used to call me younger brother and took care of me. Now that I’ve become your man, you beat me every day without any care."
"I look for a man to care for me. If you want to be a man, then you’d better obey. As for a younger brother, of course, he’s meant to be pampered. If you want to go back to being a younger brother, before we hold the wedding feast, you still have a chance to regret."
"Wishful thinking. You’ve taken advantage of me, and now want to abandon me?"
Su Yaoguang: "..."
What a drama queen.
Why didn’t I notice he was so dramatic before?
Zhou Wangshu took the eyebrow pencil from her hand: "I’ll draw for you."
"Are you sure you can do it?" Su Yaoguang’s eyes were full of doubt.
"I’ve watched you for so many years; I’ve learned just by watching."
Su Yaoguang decided to trust him this once.
After a while, her neck was sore from stretching, but the man wasn’t done yet.
"Let me see how you did..."
Su Yaoguang wanted to take the mirror, but before she could turn around to look, Zhou Wangshu held her cheeks and said very seriously, "Looks great, trust my skills."
"Really?" Su Yaoguang turned and picked up the copper mirror.
When she saw herself in the copper mirror, her face turned ugly: "Zhou Wangshu!!!"
Zhou Wangshu had already run away, disappearing from sight.
"I’m going back to my room to change clothes."
At this time, in another room, Zhang Zhaodi was pinching Su Rende’s neck, glaring at him with anger in her eyes.
Su Rende’s face turned red, and his tone was a bit agitated: "You woman are so unreasonable. You’re the one who pulled me back yesterday and didn’t let me go, and now you say I broke into your house."
"How did you get into my house?"
"You were running around outside. I had just finished a task and went home, saw you were drunk, worried you’d be in trouble, so I brought you home. Who knew you’d cling to me and not let me go?"
"Did you do anything to me last night..."
"You, as a woman who has given birth to a daughter, don’t you feel anything about whether I did something to you?"
"You..."
"Alright, I, the General, am not that kind of person."
Zhang Zhaodi got off him.
Whether he is that kind of person she didn’t know, but she knew that with his status and position, if he just said he wanted a woman, plenty of young maidens would come willingly.
"Hurry up and leave, don’t let others see you. By that time, jumping into the Yellow River won’t cleanse you." Zhang Zhaodi urged, "Don’t come to our house again."
Su Rende: "..."
After Su Rende left, Zhang Zhaodi tidied up and went out. She took a few sisters and started shopping for things, preparing for the banquet in three days.
"Big sister, after the imperial civil service exam, there’s the palace exam. Why not wait until it’s over before hosting the banquet for them?" Zhang Pandi said, "If Wangshu is competitive and gets a top three place, wouldn’t Yaoguang marry with more glory?"
"I’m just afraid he’d get a top three place." Zhang Zhaodi said, "The top three is a delicacy in the eyes of aristocratic family daughters. Every year, there’s always a noble girl who fancies someone in the top three. Our Wangshu is good-looking and talented, it’s easy for him to catch someone’s eye. Only by holding a grand event first, letting everyone know the Hui Yuan already has a wife, can we prevent that from happening."
"That really seems reasonable."
"Big sister is truly thoughtful. Our Yaoguang has finally made it to today, we can’t let others snatch away her happiness."
Zhang Family sisters, along with their staff, prepared things for the wedding banquet. Three days later, the news of Taoyao Square’s owner’s marriage was known to everyone, and for the next three days, all products at Taoyao Square would be 30% off, plus a set of skincare products for VIP card holders.
Zhou Wangshu was marrying into the family, he only needed to put on the wedding attire, ride on a tall horse, lead the bridal carriage and the bride inside around the streets once, then return to Taoyao Square to complete the ceremony and banquet.
Jiang Jing and Jia Chunni scattered copper coins.
People from all around rushed over, speaking auspicious words.
Su Yaoguang sneaked a look outside. Seeing so many onlookers, her initial calmness turned into nerves.
