Chapter 252 - 243 Lotus Tent Warm_1
In the room, Zhao Erhu had prepared not only festive decorations but also a cup of wine for toasting, and a large plate full of red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, and longan was placed on the table, symbolizing a fruitful and prosperous marriage blessed with children soon. Seeing these, Lin Yue suddenly stopped feeling awkward. For the sake of Zhao Erhu’s thoughtfulness, what were her little restraints and worries? To consummate the marriage sooner would also give Erhu some peace of mind. After all, isn’t this the time when ancient people would have their wedding night? And everything turned out just fine for them,
Lin Yue’s unusual response caught Zhao Erhu by surprise; he thought his little wife might be up to some trickery again. "Wife, if you’re going to make trouble again, I won’t indulge you. Be good, tonight is our wedding night, let’s cherish this night, okay?" Zhao Erhu’s voice carried a faintly pleading tone. Today, he was making up their wedding night, and he sincerely wanted to make it perfect.
"Mm." Lin Yue nodded obediently, which was a delightful surprise to Zhao Erhu. Although he couldn’t understand why her attitude had changed so suddenly, now was not the time to ponder it. What mattered most was that his little wife was no longer making a fuss and was willing to consummate their marriage with him.
"Wife, shall we change into our wedding clothes?" Zhao Erhu lifted Lin Yue to the bed and took out two neatly folded sets of brand-new wedding attire, his expression filled with seriousness and joy.
Lin Yue took the wedding attire and was about to change when she paused, "Zhao Erhu, I want to take a bath. Can you fetch me a bucket of hot water? I will change into the wedding clothes after I bathe, is that okay?"
"Fine, just wait here obediently for me. I’ll go and draw some water for you." Zhao Erhu, not entirely sure whether his little wife was playing a new trick, still found her request reasonable considering her usual love of cleanliness, so he resignedly went to the kitchen to fetch water.
After Lin Yue had bathed, Zhao Erhu also washed up with the water she had used, and they both changed into their wedding attire. Along with the decorations Zhao Erhu had arranged in the room, it really looked the part. Zhao Erhu pulled Lin Yue to sit at the table, filled the cups with wine, and handed one to Lin Yue.
"Wife, come, let’s drink our bridging cup of wine. From now on, we will live in harmony and love, forever and ever."
After finishing their bridging cup of wine, Zhao Erhu gazed intently at Lin Yue, as if he wanted to melt her with his eyes, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became intimate. Perhaps it was the alcohol or shyness, but Lin Yue’s face turned red, and Erhu’s stare made her feel uneasy; she didn’t know where to put her hands or feet.
"Fool, why are you staring at me like that?"
