He had to admit, she looked really beautiful and somewhat alluring today.
Tian Xingyun leaned back to rest, sweating slightly from discomfort.
"Tell the driver to slow down, I feel a bit unwell." She reached out to grab his arm and shook it.
"Did you drink alcohol earlier?" Huo Shaohua frowned and asked, only now realizing.
How could she drink alcohol while pregnant? Could there be something wrong with the baby?
"You drank alcohol, mine was water," Tian Xingyun replied. Those drinks were personally prepared by her mother.
There was no way she would be given alcohol.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"...That’s really unusual."
"Had I known, I would have ridden my little scooter."
"Riding an electric bike to your wedding, you’re really something!" Huo Shaohua’s mouth twitched, though this was not the wedding he wanted.
But riding an electric bike was out of the question!
"As long as I’m comfortable, I don’t care about the rest." Tian Xingyun lowered the car window, letting the wind blow as she closed her eyes to rest.
Huo Shaohua took off his jacket and leaned back to rest for a while.
This day had been exhausting.
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the Huo Family’s home.
Tian Xingyun got out of the car and saw there were no celebratory decorations at the entrance of the Huo Family’s house.
She felt a bit disappointed, but she didn’t show it.
It was already good enough that the Huo Family had provided a betrothal gift and that they had paid respects at the Flower Fairy Temple.
This way, she was officially married to him, and their baby wouldn’t be wronged in the future.
Huo Shaohua walked ahead with large strides while she slowly followed behind.
The car sickness was severe, and she still felt very uncomfortable.
After entering the Huo Family’s living room, a few simple ceremonies started.
Finally, they served tea to Grandma and Second Master Huo, completing the rituals.
"Xingyun, put this on." Grandma took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and placed it in Tian Xingyun’s palm.
"Grandma, I can’t accept this." Tian Xingyun shook her head, unable to accept such a valuable item from Grandma.
"Grandma, you can’t give that to her!" Huo Shaohua’s face was grim, how could the jade bracelet be given to her?
"Why can’t it be given?" Grandma retorted.
"Xingyun, just accept it." Second Master Huo spoke up.
He believed in his sister-in-law’s decision. Since she chose to give the jade bracelet to Tian Xingyun,
she must have her reasons, and he supported his sister-in-law.
"But..." Tian Xingyun glanced at Huo Shaohua, knowing the jade bracelet must be very important.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t look so upset.
"Come on, let Grandma put it on you." Grandma took Tian Xingyun’s hand and picked up the jade bracelet to put it on her.
The jade bracelet slipped on easily, perfectly fitting her wrist.
"Thank you, Grandma." Tian Xingyun smiled and thanked her.
"Get up, let’s go to the ancestral hall to pay respects to the ancestors." Grandma stood up.
"You go by yourselves." Huo Shaohua stood up unhappily and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!" Grandma was furious.
"Shaohua, don’t forget your responsibilities." Second Master Huo reminded him sternly.
Huo Shaohua halted his steps, taking a deep breath to suppress his anger.
Tian Xingyun’s eyelashes lowered, feeling very sad about his attitude.
Even if he hated her, he shouldn’t act in front of Grandma.
It would make Grandma worry about them.
Grandma and Second Master Huo led the way to the ancestral hall, with Huo Shaohua and Tian Xingyun following behind.
The two elders first paid respects to the ancestors, followed by Tian Xingyun and Huo Shaohua.
They knelt with incense sticks, sincerely worshiping the ancestors.
This was Tian Xingyun’s first time in the Huo Family’s ancestral hall, and there were many ancestral tablets here.
It was evident that the Huo Clan was once very prosperous, so why were there so few people left now, only the families of Second Master Huo and the Huo Family remaining?
Facing these ancestors, Huo Shaohua felt great pressure and a heavy heart.
"Honored ancestors, today the Huo Family’s eleventh generation eldest son Huo Shaohua marries and brings his wife Tian Xingyun to pay respects," Grandma sincerely informed the ancestors from the side.
Tian Xingyun was extremely nervous, especially after hearing Grandma’s words, she became even more anxious.
