Chapter 816 - 783 Wedding Banquet (1)
The wedding banquet was still in progress and the news about Situ Xin being pregnant shocked everyone present, but these were individuals who prided themselves on having status and breeding. They knew what the occasion was and what they should be doing.
So, after a brief stir, the topic was dropped. The scene quickly returned to normal. But was the reality really as calm as it appeared on the surface, and did everyone truly dismiss Situ Xin’s pregnancy from their minds? Of course not.
Many gossips, as well as those who envied and resented Situ Xin, had already figured out how they would discuss the matter with others once they returned.
Situ Xin and Xiao Muli were unaware of what these people were thinking. Right now, Situ Xin was in the resting room, changing her clothes while complaining to Xiao Muli.
"Ah, I told you a wedding would be more tiring than an engagement party, right? Oh, I really want to sleep now." Although the baby in Situ Xin’s belly was being well-behaved and not causing her trouble, pregnancy naturally takes its toll on the body. Having been busy since the morning, Situ Xin felt hungry and a bit sore in her back, and really wished she could lie down in bed and enjoy a good night’s sleep.
"Honey, you’ve worked hard. After we finish the toasting, we can go back and rest," Xiao Muli said, going over to Situ Xin and massaging her to help alleviate some discomfort.
"Are you sure we can go back after the toasting?" Situ Xin was skeptical about Xiao Muli’s words. Although she was not very clear about the wedding specifics, she knew a wedding banquet wasn’t something that ended so easily. The pouring of drinks and the teasing in the bridal chamber were endless.
"I’m sure. Under normal circumstances, we would really be in for it today. But today is different, so everyone will know better than to bother us," Xiao Muli said, glancing at Situ Xin’s belly that wasn’t yet showing.
The look Xiao Muli gave her belly made Situ Xin instantly understand the implication of his words. "Oh, I see. So that’s why you suddenly announced my pregnancy at the end. Hmph, you’re really cunning," Situ Xin said, reaching over to pinch Xiao Muli’s face. She hadn’t expected Xiao Muli’s skin to feel so good, and couldn’t resist pinching it again.
