Chapter 300 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber
Fortunately, the bride didn't let things down at the crucial moment.
Lin Xiaoyan's expression changed, and the elders of the Lin family also looked unhappy, especially Ye Wanjie, whose face turned green with anger. She forced a smile when the guests spoke to her at the dinner table, and it was extremely difficult for her.
However, at least the rings were exchanged, and the ceremony was successfully completed.
After the banquet began, Chen Youen, who was a bridesmaid, immediately accompanied Shen Feiwan to the dressing room to change clothes.
The makeup artist and stylist wanted to redo Shen Feiwan's look, and Chen Youen couldn't say anything.
After they finished, Chen Youen immediately dismissed them, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave this to me. You can go and rest."
As soon as the makeup artists left, Chen Youen immediately locked the door.
"What exactly happened just now? Why did Bo Junxing suddenly come to steal the bride? Didn't you two break up completely? He still has feelings for you, so he actually came all this way here."
Shen Feiwan adjusted her earrings in front of the mirror, "I don't know, before..."
However, she suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence.
Chen Youen sighed and looked into Shen Feiwan's eyes, "Have you been hiding something from me lately? I can sense it! On New Year's Day, when we went to see the light show, you were avoiding me when you answered the phone. I glanced at you then, and you were probably answering Bo Junxing's call, right? What kind of relationship do we have? Why are you hiding it from me!"
Shen Feiwan scratched her head, stood up, and said, "There's no time to explain now, let's go."
She walked in the direction of Man Kou, saying, "If we delay any longer, Lin Xiaoyan will come looking for us. We've already made the Lin family lose face today, so we can't afford to delay any longer."
As soon as Shen Feiwan opened the door, she saw Lin Xiaoyan's hand hovering in mid-air, still in the posture of pushing the door open. His gaze swept over Shen Feiwan's shoulder, around the empty lounge, and finally settled on Chen Youen.
“I thought,” he withdrew his hand, slowly adjusting his cuffs, “that you were going to discuss something inside that I didn’t know about.”
Shen Feiwan sensed the barb in his words and immediately took his arm. "Don't talk to me like that. I know what you're trying to say. He's my ex-husband, but I really don't know why he came."
Lin Xiaoyan took the opportunity to hold her finger and play with it, leading her towards the banquet hall. "Really?" He stroked the wedding ring on her ring finger with his thumb. "Then how did he appear precisely at the moment of exchanging rings?" He smiled and looked down at her, his eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes.
Shen Feiwan let him knead her fingers, her face indifferent. "But I haven't even mentioned to him who my marriage partner is. You only mentioned your name when you called him back last night."
Lin Xiaoyan paused. "So you mean it's all my fault now?"
Shen Feiwan looked at him and said, "Is it wrong of me to think it's wrong? Do you want me to think that today's accident is a good thing?"
Shen Feiwan knows Lin Xiaoyan all too well.
These words hit the nail on the head, and sure enough, she saw the gloom in Lin Xiaoyan's eyes dissipate somewhat.
Lin Xiaoyan released his grip on Shen Feiwan's hand and instead put his arm around her waist as they walked toward the banquet. "It's time to offer toasts. Since you don't drink alcohol, I had someone change it to bottled water."
The second half of the wedding went smoothly. The guests tacitly avoided talking about the accident, and the room was filled with formulaic blessings. Only Ye Wanjie kept a cold face throughout.
The wedding was divided into indoor and outdoor sessions, and by the time it ended, night had already fallen.
The wedding car drove straight to the new house prepared by Lin Xiaoyan, without going to the old Lin family residence.
This was something that had been agreed upon before the marriage, but that didn't stop Ye Wanjie from following him all the way to the new house under the pretext that she was worried about her son drinking too much.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Ye Wanjie grabbed Lin Xiaoyan's arm and pushed Shen Feiwan away, saying, "I don't need you to interfere."
Shen Feiwan took a half step back.
Watching Ye Wanjie carry her son towards the building like a mother protecting her cub, she was happy to see it happen, since she didn't want to do anything herself.
Upon entering the new room, Ye Wanjie led Lin Xiaoyan directly to the bed.
Lin Xiaoyan was quite drunk at the moment, and occasionally he would utter a few incoherent murmurs.
Seeing this, Ye Wanjie turned around and confronted Shen Feiwan, who was standing in the doorway, "What are you still standing there for? Your husband is so drunk, can't you even bring him a glass of water? Are you used to being treated like a pampered princess?"
Shen Feiwan wasn't annoyed. She simply replied "okay" and slowly walked out to get some water.
She moved slowly and deliberately, as if she hadn't heard the sharpness in the other person's words at all.
Seeing her calm and collected demeanor, Ye Wanjie's anger flared even more. She raised her voice and said, "That wild man at today's wedding better not show his face in front of the Lin family again. I'm telling you, Shen Feiwan, if you dare to cheat on my son, I'll make your whole family suffer."
Shen Feiwan didn't care at all, and just gave a faint "oh".
This infuriated Ye Wanjie. "Oh? Is this your reaction? What kind of attitude is this!"
Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I mean I've got it, my dear mother-in-law. By the way, it's getting late, shall I see you out?"
"You! You don't need to!" Ye Wanjie grabbed a shawl from the sofa, threw it over her shoulder, and stormed out the door, her chest heaving.
Before leaving, she slammed the door shut, making the decorative paintings in the entryway tremble.
Shen Feiwan didn't mind Ye Wanjie's rudeness, thinking it saved her the trouble of closing the door.
She turned and walked back to the bedroom, where she saw Lin Xiaoyan leaning against the headboard, his bow tie hanging loosely around his neck, staring intently at her.
She pretended to quicken her pace and reached out to touch his forehead. "How are you? How did you get so drunk? You can't hold your liquor either. Did you only switch my drink and not yours?"
Lin Xiaoyan grasped her wrist, his fingertips tracing her skin. "These are all Lin's business partners, so I have to show them the proper respect. I can't be sloppy. However..."
He suddenly pulled Shen Feiwan in front of him forcefully, placing his hand on her waistline, "These things in bed can be done even when you're drunk, it won't delay anything."
Shen Feiwan forced a smile, her fingertips casually tracing his burning earlobe. "That alcohol has a strong aftereffect. Are you sure you'll still be able to stand up straight later?"
Lin Xiaoyan's Adam's apple bobbed as he casually unbuttoned her collar, his breath brushing against her collarbone. "Want to try it on now?"
Before he could finish speaking, he abruptly stopped, his thumb grinding repeatedly against the embroidery on her wedding dress. "You and him... did that too?"
Shen Feiwan frowned, deliberately putting on a cold face, "Do you have to bring this up at this time?"
Lin Xiaoyan said stubbornly, "I don't want to bring it up either, but I get jealous and angry. Do you know that at that moment I really wanted to kill him?"
Shen Feiwan responded calmly, "That was just an accident. The wedding went very smoothly, so why bring it up again? Don't you think so?"
“Okay,” Lin Xiaoyan said, affectionately nuzzling Shen Feiwan’s neck. “Then let’s not talk about it. It’s a good thing you didn’t go with him, otherwise I would have been very angry. If you had angered me, I really don’t know what I would have done. You know I have plenty of ways to deal with things.”
He stared at Shen Feiwan, a faint smile playing on his lips, but his eyes seemed frozen, and he exuded a sinister aura.
Shen Feiwan met his gaze without flinching. "I know. Besides, I didn't run off with anyone else. Why are you so insecure? Hmm? I just poured you some water, but I was talking to my mother-in-law at the door and forgot to bring it in. I'll go get it now. By the way, I noticed you didn't eat much at the banquet. Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Lin Xiaoyan licked his lips, his voice hoarse, "Hungry, but I only want to eat you."
Shen Feiwan gave a forced smile, "Okay, then you wait."
After saying that, she walked out of the bedroom.
Shen Feiwan went to the sofa to get her bag, which contained the medicine that Zou Xinyi had given her last time.
She took out a pill, wrapped it in a tissue, crushed it into powder using the bottom of a glass, and poured it into the water glass.
She waited until the powder had completely dissolved before taking the cup into the bedroom.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyan was taking off his clothes. His lean upper body was naked, and he had already taken off his upper body.
Shen Feiwan took the water and walked over. "Are you going to take a shower? Drink this water first."
Lin Xiaoyan's Adam's apple bobbed as he tilted his head back and drank the water in one gulp.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyan had finished the medicine-laced drink in one gulp, Shen Feiwan quickly had a scheming thought, but on the surface she pretended to be worried and said, "You're still a little drunk. Going to take a bath now might make you feel uncomfortable. Why don't you lie down for a while longer? I'm not in a hurry for our wedding night. We can make it up tomorrow."
These words were spoken in a coquettish tone with a hint of teasing, the last syllable of which trailed off lightly, clearly a deliberate attempt to manipulate his temperament.
Lin Xiaoyan's eyes darkened as expected, and he stretched out his long arm to pull her into his arms, a low laugh escaping his throat, "Tomorrow? Is my wife testing me?"
He unbuttoned the collar of Shen Feiwan's dress with his fingertips, his breath hot on her flushed earlobes. "On our wedding night, if we don't do what we're supposed to do, what will people think of my reputation? Hmm."
As he spoke, he bit Shen Feiwan's lower lip and gently rubbed it, "Tonight, I'm going to pamper my bride properly."
Shen Feiwan let him leave tiny kisses on her neck, but when he deepened his movements, she suddenly pushed him away, her eyes full of laughter, "Look how impatient you are."
She ran her fingertips across his burning chest and stepped back to the door. "I'll go shower in another room. Don't fall asleep in the bathroom."
After saying that, Shen Feiwan turned and left.
As usual, while Lin Xiaoyan was taking a shower, Shen Feiwan went into the bathroom to send a message to Zou Xinyi.
Zou Xinyi had been waiting for this day for a long time.
A few days ago, she even messaged Shen Feiwan asking if she needed help 'sleeping'.
No, the opportunity has come.
She entered the residential area more than an hour ago.
As soon as Shen Feiwan sent the message, she replied instantly: 【Are you alright?】
Zou Xinyi was impatient and immediately called Shen Feiwan after sending the message.
Shen Feiwan answered the phone, "Don't worry, I just gave him his medicine. He's taking a shower right now and won't be out for a while."
"Then I'll wait outside the door. Come and open the door for me when you're ready."
Shen Feiwan hummed in agreement and then hung up the phone; she still needed to remove her makeup.
She had just finished washing her face when she heard a noise outside the bathroom!
