The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

After that deep sleep, Shu Yu slept soundly. Ice blocks were placed in the room, making it completely silent inside. The noise from the front yard seemed distant, floating like a lullaby.

With Xia Yan guarding outside, indeed, no one came to disturb her.

Thus, she slept until it was completely dark outside.

Something icy cold seemed to touch her face. Shu Yu frowned slightly and woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found Meng Yunzheng wiping her face with a handkerchief.

”Awake?” Meng Yunzheng lowered the handkerchief and asked softly.

Shu Yu was taken aback, quickly sat up, and glanced out the window—it was pitch black.

”What time is it?”

”Two quarters past the hour.”

Shu Yu widened her eyes—no way, did she sleep all afternoon? It’s already seven-thirty?

Meng Yunzheng poured her a cup of tea, Shu Yu moistened her throat, and then asked, ”What about the guests?”

”Most of them have left; there are only a few in the front yard.”

”They let you come back? Didn’t they stir up the bridal chamber?”

Meng Yunzheng chuckled, ”I pretended to be drunk and was dragged back by Xia Yan. What could they do if they didn’t let me go? Both of us went to sleep; who would they disturb?”

Shu Yu looked him up and down, ”You... got drunk?”

Of course, he was pretending. If he didn’t pretend to be drunk, he still wouldn’t be able to break away now.

However, Zhao Xi, having known him for many years and being a doctor, could tell his drinking capacity.

But before coming, Zhao Xi was repeatedly warned by Shuyou not to disturb his own sister’s wedding night. Moreover, Zhao Xi knew that Meng Yunzheng could tolerate him on other matters, but this awaited wedding, if he dared to ruin it, the consequences would be serious.

Therefore, despite his urge to misbehave, he wisely refrained, even using his identity as a doctor to seriously explain that Meng Yunzheng’s drinking capacity was poor, and drinking more would cause trouble.

Those present trusted the person who was determined to make things difficult for the groom, feeling that even Zhao Xi was regretful in abstaining, indicating that it was indeed unsuitable to drink more. So they regrettably sent Meng Yunzheng back to the room.

If only Xiang Weinan and others were there, others unfamiliar with him wouldn’t have allowed Meng Yunzheng to pass so easily.

Shu Yu chuckled after hearing this, ”I think they didn’t dare to tease you.”

”Not daring is just fine.” Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow, not wanting to waste precious time on teasing the bridal chamber. ”I’ll ask Ying Xi to get you something to eat. What do you want?”

”Make some pan-fried dumplings.” She suddenly craved them when she ate raw dumplings earlier.

The dumplings were brought quickly, and Meng Yunzheng ate with her. He still had a hint of alcohol, obviously having eaten very little.

After eating, Xia Yan came over to say most of the people from the front yard had left.

Shu Yu looked up, puzzled, wondering why he had to say so when they were leaving.

However, Meng Yunzheng had already put down his chopsticks and led her to the neighboring bathhouse, ”Now that they’re gone, we should rest too.”

Shu Yu, ”...” Could you be any more obvious?

She glared at him, slightly embarrassed, and quickly grabbed her clothes and entered the bathhouse.

When she came out, Meng Yunzheng had changed into new clothes, his hair still damp, clearly having washed in another room.

Shu Yu paused her steps, suddenly hesitating to approach.

But Meng Yunzheng had already locked the door and walked briskly toward her, saying, ”My dear wife, the night is short; let us not waste it.”
