"What did she say?" Zhu Lingling was a bit surprised.
"She said... I’ve been the lead character my whole life, while all this time, she has been a third-rate supporting character. Now that she’s getting married, she wants to be the main character on that day and have me be the supporting character, leaving all out grudges and hatred in the past."
"Damn, you can’t even tell what she means by that? She’s insulting you on purpose. Who are you? You can’t be her supporting actress, don’t go, just ignore her."
"Lingling, I want to go... Liu Siying isn’t someone with a mask over her face. That will be her only day to wear a wedding dress and get married happily. She has only asked this of me, and it’s not something I have to move heaven and earth to do. There’s nothing wrong with being the supporting role." Huo Mian smiled.
"Mr. Qin, hurry up and control Huo Mian, she’s crazy..."
Zhu Lingling called out...
"I respect her decision." Qin Chu never troubled Huo Mian and always respected her choice each and every time.
Gao Ran and Zhu Lingling noticed that this couple had made their decision, so they no longer said anything else...
After this conversation ended, they continued to eat hot pot, and then the four of them sat on the living room sofa and played cards.
They couldn’t be happier...
In the end, Zhu Lingling won several thousand yuan, and she was so happy that she insisted on going to Karaoke together.
However, Huo Mian was tired, so they didn’t go...
In the end, Gao Ran left Imperial Park with Zhu Lingling...
Qin Chu carried the already half-asleep Huo Mian upstairs.
Huo Mian dazedly changed into her sleeping gown... and just as she lied down, Qin Chu pressed his body onto hers...
Then he lingeringly kissed her thin lips...
"Umph..." It was either because Huo Mian had been drinking or because she was too tired, but regardless, she was in a half-awake and half-asleep state.
Her mind was a bit groggy...
Qin Chu kissed her bit by bit, from her neck to her collarbone, and then further down...
"Honey... I’m so tired..."
"It’s fine, you don’t have to be on top today, I’ll take over from here." Qin Chu gently smiled.
Just then, Huo Mian suddenly opened her eyes in shock.
"What’s wrong, Honey...?"
"Honey... I... I think..."
"What?"
"I think... my period came..."
Huo Mian wanted to cry but didn’t shed any tears...
She was just dazedly enjoying his touch when a rush of warmth flowed out from beneath her...
This feeling immediately woke her up...
Qin Chu was immediately speechless, and then he reluctantly got up.
Huo Mian sat up, and as she turned around to look... a spot of red tainted their gold bed sheets...
"My period, you could’ve come sooner or later, but why did you have to come now? Did you do this on purpose?" Huo Mian quietly mumbled.
"Honey, go and take care of it, I’ll change the bed sheets."
"Uhm... okay."
After Huo Mian put on sanitary pads, washed her underwear, and took a warm shower, Qin Chu had already changed the bedsheets into another set of light purple ones by the time she returned...
They were very beautiful...
"Where’s the dirty set, give them to me and I’ll wash them."
"I’ve thrown them out..."
Huo Mian, "..."
"Honey, you’re always wasting money..."
A set of bedsheets worth several thousand yuan was tossed away so carelessly...
"What else? How could I bear to let you wash it?" Qin Chu didn’t want Huo Mian to wash these so late at night while she was on her period.
"Fine, fine, you always have your reasons."
Huo Mian climbed into bed and crawled underneath the sheets...
Qin Chu, on the other hand, stood up and walked out. After a bit, he came in with a bowl of brown sugar water with ginger.
"Honey, drink this and then sleep."
"Hubby, do you think that I’m a bit conceited being Liu Siying’s bridesmaid?" Huo Mian asked as she took the brown sugar water.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Qin Chu looked at her.
"Yes."
"No, all you wanted to do was fulfill her wish... that has nothing to do with being conceited."
"You’re clearly my husband... you never want to say anything bad about me, no matter what I do." Huo Mian smiled.
"Some have said that ’marriage is a gamble’. If you bet your whole life on me, how could I bear to let you lose? So... Honey, I’ll respect your decisions, no matter what you do."
Qin Chu wasn’t someone that liked to talk romantically, and he was born to be a proud man of little words, but he always had so much love towards Huo Mian.
"But honey... if marriage is a gamble, and we’re both placing our bets on each other, what if you end up losing?"
