Staring at Si Yi’s handsome face that was getting closer to her, Yun Jian nodded involuntarily.
To be honest, Yun Jian had not expected Mo Sen and Ya Dang to be biological brothers either. The two guys did not look alike but scrutinizing them now with the new knowledge, they more or less resembled each other even if they were handsome in their own way and did not look similar at first glance.
Yun Jian actually nodded in subconscious listening to Si Yi’s luring voice.
“Mn.” As she nodded, her supple cheeks and youthful look made her look delicious.
It caused Si Yi to gulp. He had already pressed his gorgeous face to Yun Jian’s cheek. One more centimeter and his lips would have touched her right cheek.
“Give me a kiss and I’ll tell you,” Si Yi blurted such shameless request when his throat ran dry at the sight of Yun Jian pressing her rosy lips together.
Yun Jian blushed instantly at his words but her facial expression remained the same. There was a subtle tick, however, because Si Yi’s request embarrassed her, and she gave the young man’s sturdy chest a shove.
“Mom’s gone back to Uncle Ge’s place. Let’s hurry there too,” Yun Jian said and pushed Si Yi to get up.
Before she could do that, Si Yi wrapped an arm around her slim waist and brought his face even closer. Simultaneously, he pressed his lips on Yun Jian’s swiftly to steal a kiss and let her go just as fast.
Yun Jian flushed scarlet.
“You...”
“Come on, let’s go home.” Si Yi held Yun Jian’s hand and tugged her toward the hotel’s exit before she could speak.
What Yun Jian did not see was the small curl of Si Yi’s lips when he tugged her dainty hand to head for the Crystal Rhythm Hotel’s door. Si Yi pressed his lips together, as if he was savoring Yun Jian’s lingering scent from his light press of kiss just now.
...
:30pm.
Usually, Qin Yirou would have turned in for the night with Yun Zhu, Duan Li and Duan Ya at this hour. Today was no usually, however, as it was her wedding day with Ge Junjian.
Ge Junjian’s villa.
Qin Yirou’s relatives had gone back to Xinjiang Town by now and the rest who were here were Ge Junjian’s family and friends. His comrades, especially, were vowing to snatch the bride who had already gone back to the bridal chamber.
There was a custom in Longmen City’s weddings—the family and friends from the groom’s side could make a dash to the bridal chamber to snatch the bride and bridesmaids at a fixed time when the bride had gone back to the bridal chamber after the wedding ceremony ended that night.
When they did that, grabbing the bride or bridesmaids from the bridal chamber and carrying them downstairs, they could win something from the groom. Prizes were not just limited to this. After the adults snatched the women, children could swarm the bridal chamber and win things like sweets and whatnot as long as they took something out from the room.
It was a customary game when people got married in Longmen City but some wealthier folks did not like it. As the game stood, its purpose was just to set a merry mood and let everyone have fun. It was also typically referred to as the banter ritual.
When Yun Jian returned to Ge Junjian’s house, the ritual-like game had already begun.
