Chapter 2220

Mo nodded and said softly, “Okay.”

Although Hu Xuefei was known to have a way with words, speaking differently to different audiences,

her company still provided excellent service.

After Hu Xuefei and Wang left, only Baili Xia and Mo remained in the room.

Mo clasped her hands tightly together, leaving some marks on her skin.

It was clear that she was nervous.

Baili Xia tried to speak to ease her mood, “Did you sleep alone last night?”

“Mm.”

This was Mo’s first night sleeping alone after agreeing to marry Mu Lingchuan.

The resistance she felt toward Mu Lingchuan had long vanished.

Even though there was still a barrier in her heart, last night, when he wasn’t by her side, a sense of panic suddenly arose.

Mo never imagined that her mindset would change like this one day.

“I heard them say that it’s customary for the bride and groom not to see each other the night before the wedding.”

Baili Xia nodded, having heard this saying before as well.

The older generation always said that meeting before the wedding was taboo and would bring bad luck.

But Baili Xia refused to believe it; she had her own understanding.

In the past, marriages weren’t as free, and were mostly arranged.

If they met beforehand and were dissatisfied with each other’s looks, it could be troublesome.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her lips.

“You don’t need to worry, you’ve already slept together.”

Mo’s face instantly turned beet red, so red that it seemed like blood could drip from it.

She looked at Baili Xia and scolded, “Xiaxia, stop your nonsense.”

Although she did live with Mu Lingchuan, apart from that unexpected first time, they hadn’t crossed any further boundaries.

Perhaps Mu Lingchuan was considerate of her pregnancy and didn’t want to force her.

Or maybe Mu Lingchuan didn’t have those thoughts toward her.

Anyway, she was still too shy to talk about such things.

“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything more. How come you’re still so shy even on your wedding day?”

Outside, the sky grew brighter, and warm sunlight streamed through the window.

The beautiful bride, the pure white wedding gown, the long train, reached an ultimate aesthetic in the golden sunlight.

Outside, it became increasingly noisy as many guests began to arrive.

On the surface, Baili Xia was calm, but her heart grew more worried.

More and more people were gathering at the Mu Mansion, and she wondered whether Long Ting could prevent any impostors from sneaking in.

As for Xiaoxiao’s situation, she was clueless.

As soon as Xiaoxiao awakened and identified the person who pushed her down the mountain, everything would be resolved.

But before awakening, it was the most perilous moment.

After a while, suddenly, there was the sound of firecrackers outside.

Followed by a group of voices jeering, coming through the window.

They knew Mu Lingchuan had arrived to fetch the bride.

Mo’s heart pounded as if a deer were racing inside; she felt nothing but nerves, her clenched palms unconsciously sweating.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Mo, as if startled, quickly lifted her head, only to see the makeup artist from before entering.

“I’m here to check if your makeup is alright; the groom will be up soon.”

The girl hurried over and helped inspect their makeup.

Then she took out a makeup kit and did some quick touch-ups, finally retreating with satisfaction.

In less than five minutes, a resounding cheer came from the hallway.

Soon, Mu Lingchuan entered the room surrounded by a crowd of people.

Perhaps he’d been through a lot earlier, or maybe there were too many people around him, because a thin layer of sweat glistened on his forehead.

Yet on his face, there was only a composed smile.
