I tugged at the blanket fiercely in response, only to get all flustered when I realized Ashton was naked
underneath. I then quickly turned around before stammering, “I don’t care! If I have to starve because I
can’t have fried chicken, then you’re not getting any action either!”
A smug grin formed on my face as I heard the sounds of him sighing which was then accompanied by
the rustling of clothes as he got dressed.
Not bad! It seems he does understand the concept of “happy wife, happy life”, after all!
My brief moment of delight was quickly interrupted when Ashton called out from behind, “Come on, get
dressed and I’ll take you to the night market.”
I crossed my arms at him and said, “I’m not going out. You’re the reason I’m feeling so tired, so you have
to take responsibility for it by buying us dinner yourself!”
“The ninety-nine couples will be making their vows later. Are you sure you don’t want to see it?” Ashton
asked with a playful wink as he put on his wedding attire.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter giving it some thought, I quickly threw the covers aside and began getting dressed, only to hit yet
another snag.
As I was only able to get the outfit on with the help of Emery and two other staff members, I had no idea
how to put it on by myself.
Ashton was about to put on his coat when he saw me standing still with a clueless look on my face. He
then walked up to me and carefully helped me put the dress on one piece at a time.
He was so focused on what he was doing that both of his eyebrows were arched slightly like that of an
eagle’s.
The lighting in the room was dim, but I could clearly see the calm expression on his face which gave me
a strong sense of security.
I broke the silence by calling his name, “Ashton.”
“Yes?” he mumbled in response as he continued to help me with the dress.
“Do you really love me this much?” I asked with a sweet yet smug grin. It had been ages since I asked
him such questions.
“I do,” Ashton replied. I was about to pout at his short response when he leaned in close to my ears and
whispered, “To me, loving you is like breathing. It is something I do without having to learn how, and I
would die without.”
His words melted my heart instantly, and I couldn’t bring myself to bully him any further. “But I’m full of
flaws! I get emotional really easily, and I love messing with you all the time! In fact, I actually felt like I
love my kids more than I love you up until today…”
My voice gradually grew softer as I realized I was practicing double standards by feeling depressed
when I wouldn’t let Ashton do the same.
Ashton paused for a brief moment, only to continue his actions as he said calmly, “I’m fine with all that
because I love you. Like I said at the wedding earlier, no one could compare to the place you have in my
heart.”
He then looked me in the eye while adjusting my collar and asked, “Got that all memorized yet, Mrs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFuller?”
“Yeah.” I could only nod in response as I tried to fight my tears back.
With a satisfied smile on his face, Ashton put on his coat and handed me a mask as he said, “Here, put
this on. All the Hanfu enthusiasts will be wearing masks tonight. Wouldn’t want people recognizing us,
would we?”
Given the scale of our wedding today, his concerns were perfectly justified as we would surely attract a
huge crowd if we were spotted.
However, we were recognized the moment we arrived at the night market.
“Wait a minute… Aren’t those the wedding attires worn by Ashton and Scarlett earlier today?”
“There were ninety-nine couples getting married today, and these clothes all look similar anyway. That’s
probably someone else.”
“No, I’m pretty sure that’s them. The designs may be similar, but Ashton and Scarlett are the only ones
with golden linings on their outfits. See that? It’s reflecting the light from the streetlamps above them!”
