You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 74 Side Story 7 Part 1

Ten seconds before time was up, Liu Mao, who had never lifted up a girl’s skirt in his life, braced himself as he went forward and got down in front of the bridesmaid. He lifted up a portion of the hem of the skirt and untied the shoe from her calf.

Liu Mao looked up, the bridesmaid remained quite calm but Liu Mao’s face had turned dark red.

Everyone burst into laughter and said “it’s done, it’s done.” It wasn’t clear whether they were talking about completing their task to fetch the bride or that matching a new couple together had occurred.

Xu Huaisong and Ruan Yu chose to have a traditional wedding. They took wedding photos outdoors in the afternoon and held a banquet inside at night. By the time the banquet was over and all the guests had left, it was well past seven o’clock at night.

They went back to their new house and Ruan Yu, who had changed into seven sets of wedding gowns in one day, collapsed on the couch: “It’s too exhausting getting married. Fortunately it’s only once in a lifetime……”

Xu Huaisong brought their luggages into their bedroom and came out to sit on the couch. He let Ruan Yu rest her head on his lap and massaged her shoulder as he said: “We have to go out again after a short rest. There’s only one premiere also.”

Ruan Yu immediately opened her half closed eyes and said “ah” in a low voice.

Indeed.

When the two families decided early this year to set the wedding day on the National Day holiday, they didn’t expect that Ruan Yu’s movie would decide shortly after to set the premiere on the same night of their wedding at 8:30 pm.

They only had about an hour left to get to the premiere.

“I remembered it this morning, but almost forgot about it after being busy for the whole day.” Ruan Yu turned to make herself more comfortable and looked up at Xu Huaisong to say: “This time around, you haven’t colluded with the film crew to pull some tricks on me?”

Xu Huaisong laughed: “You think I wasn’t busy with the wedding? How would I have time to collude with anyone?”

Besides, last time the movie production crew wasn’t helping him propose on the movie set for free. The film company wasn’t a philanthropic business, they wouldn’t just do whatever he asked. The reason why they went along with it was out of commercial interest in them. The production company planned to shoot the proposal into a short clip to put into the movie as the post-credits scene and used the behind-the scenes story as one of the promotional highlights.

If the movie was a box office hit, it would be a win-win situation for both Global Filming and Ruan Yu. Therefore, Cen Rongshen agreed to work with Xu Huaisong on the proposal.

Ruan Yu also thought about it and asked: “Should we wear face masks when we go? Otherwise, we might get recognized by the audience once the clip is shown.”

Xu Huaisong lightly tapped on her forehead to indicate that she was worrying too much: “The clip was shot by drones. They can only see the top of your head. Besides, won’t wearing face masks make us even more conspicuous?”

Ruan Yu: “Oh.” She checked the time and struggled to get up from his lap and said: “I smell of alcohol, I have to take a shower.”

Xu Huaisong also got up after her: “I’ll take one too.”

During the banquet tonight, Xu Huaisong drank half of her share of alcohol for her. Though he didn’t flush after drinking, he was actually up to his alcohol intake limit..

Ruan Yu heard him say that he was going to shower too and turned, pointing her index finger at him, and warned: “Don’t follow me in or we’ll be late for the premiere.”

Xu Huaisong looked quite puzzled: “Geeze, Mrs. Xu, if I remember correctly, our home has two bathrooms. Why do I have to squeeze in the same one with you?”

Ruan Yu was speechless.

She thought: see, this was what happened when they got the marriage certificate early and started living together before the wedding– –On the first day of their marriage, her husband had already lost interest in her body.

Ruan Yu humphed and walked towards the bathroom without looking back at Xu Huaisong.
