Sweet slice-of-life love story: Wife, Let's love again
Chapter 331 - 324: Joyous Day

Chapter 331: Chapter 324: Joyous Day

"Congratulations, congratulations, you’ve entered a new phase of life."

"Haha, let’s clink glasses."

The main part of the wedding had ended, with the servers bringing dishes and drinks to the tables, available for guests to help themselves at will.

Qin Guanglin and He Fang walked arm in arm through the venue, stopping to toast with everyone.

"Sister He, can we take a photo together?" Gu Xiaoqing approached them, and upon seeing them nod, looked around before handing her phone to Yu Le, "Help us take one."

This photo had to be developed and slotted into a book... The photo of writer He Fang and painter Qin Guanglin’s wedding was priceless to her, the bridesmaid—it was too exciting even to think about.

"Oh, stand properly... yes, smile," Yu Le said as he played the temporary photographer.

Actually, there was no need to ask them to smile; their faces were already beaming with joy, and Qin Guanglin’s smile never once faded.

"When will you give birth to my daughter-in-law?" Xiao Yu approached with a glass, teasing Qin Guanglin, who playfully retorted, "Scram, scram, scram, your son’s not even in Luo City University yet."

"Having inherited my brains, getting into Luo City University will be a breeze. Just wait, my little rascal will one day apply to Tsinghua University."

"Your brains..."

Qin Guanglin smirked and clinked glasses with Xiao Yu, "Let’s see if he gets in first, and then whether my daughter will even fancy your son."

"Already decided on having a daughter?" Chen Rui smacked his lips from the side, evidently noting how much Qin Guanglin favored the thought of having a daughter.

"I met an immortal in Zhongnan who told me I’d have a daughter for sure," Qin Guanglin laughed. "A book titled ’My Daughter is So Cute’ is definitely on the cards and will surpass our current one when the time comes."

"Wife’s not as good as a daughter?"

The teasing began.

"Nonsense. The joy of having a daughter is all thanks to the wife; there’s no comparison," Qin Guanglin said resentfully, dragging He Fang away, not wanting to stay with this group any longer.

From the moment they met, he wanted to date; from dating, he wanted to get engaged; from engagement, he wanted to marry; from marriage, he wanted a daughter.

Despite his typical indifference, he couldn’t understand why he was so impatient about matters concerning the two of them.

The wedding banquet continued into the afternoon, and while some guests left after the ceremony, many stayed, looking forward to the dinner party in the evening.

The day’s feast was mostly about eating, with just light sipping of drinks, but the dinner was more about nibbling and focusing on the more potent beverages. Yu Le, acting as best man, valiantly tried to block toasts but couldn’t last long before passing out to one side.

"Brother Lin! Brother Lin!"

Little Fatty, holding a cup, ran over to join in the fun, but Qin Guanglin, his face flushed red with mirth, scolded him: "What the hell are you drinking, kid? Put it back."

"It’s pineapple beer; it won’t get you drunk!"

"Is that so? Now it’s mine, and you can go get another one for yourself."

"..."

On their wedding day, both the hosts and the guests were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Qin Guanglin, slightly dazed, needed help from He Fang to walk steadily as they made their way to the hotel car after the event at around nine, and then went home.

"Teacher He."

Qin Guanglin lay on the bed, squinting his eyes as he called out.

"Hmm?"

"We’re married now."

"Hmm."

"Teacher He."

"Hmm?"

"You’re my wife now."

"Hmm."

"Teacher He."

"Hmm?"

"Kiss me."

"You stink, sit up a bit and drink some water." He Fang had prepared warm honey water and found a straw to put to his mouth.

"Not allowed a kiss just after getting married," Qin Guanglin pouted lamentably.

"Are you going to drink it or not?"

"I will."

Qin Guanglin sat up, took the straw in his mouth, and drank a few sips before suddenly bursting into a silly grin.

The word ’married’ felt incredibly sweet, especially when marrying someone he adored so much; his life was almost complete.

Her arrival seemed like a gift from the heavens.

He Fang, without options, said, "You drank too much, just go to sleep."

"No, I’m just a bit dizzy, but still conscious," Qin Guanglin argued. He tried standing up from the bed and took a few unsteady steps before turning around and saying, "See, I can still take a bath on my own, wanna join me?"

"I don’t."

"Hmph, you must be exhausted too; I’ll take care of you tomorrow," Qin Guanglin muttered as he headed into the bathroom. He was indeed exhausted from hosting the guests all day without much rest; He Fang must be even more worn out.

The wedding had been in preparation for so long, and then it was over in just one shiver of excitement, ending in a single day, leaving a feeling of reluctance to let it all go. Tomorrow I’ll have to properly draw it all out, then go on the honeymoon.

While thinking this blissfully, Qin Guanglin stood in front of the mirror striking a few poses and turned on the shower, starting to bathe.

"You are my rose, you are my flower~

You are my lover, you are my concern~

You are my rose..."

Knock knock knock.

The bathroom door sounded.

Qin Guanglin stopped his humming and said, "It’s not locked."

Seeing He Fang come in, he was a bit surprised, "Aren’t we not showering together?"

"I’m worried you might faint from drinking too much, couldn’t rest easy."

"..."

...

Shangli Gym.

Sun Wen, exhausted, pulled down the rolling shutter, took out a key and turned it twice, making sure the door was locked, then returned to the car, leaning back in the seat, lighting a cigarette quietly and savoring this brief moment of leisure.

The car was rented; in modern society, it’s truly inconvenient not to have a car while striving in the city. Although the gym had opened smoothly, half a year wasn’t enough to break even, so he couldn’t afford to be extravagant.

Anyway, now he had the business back on track. As long as he kept it steady, in two or three years, not only could he return everything Xu Wei had ever given him, but he might also have a substantial surplus.

Ding dong.

His phone rang once. He didn’t pay attention to it, the cigarette butt glowing faintly as it dimmed and lit.

After a while.

The cigarette had burned down to the filter, starting to feel hot on his fingers, Sun Wen took one last reluctant drag, rolled down the window, threw out the cigarette butt, then turned on the car’s light and picked up his phone to check it.

It was a WeChat message from Xu Wei, asking if he was going to come over.

After thinking for a moment, he was about to reply when his phone rang again, but this time it wasn’t from Xu Wei.

Looking at his phone, Sun Wen was quiet for a moment, a trace of happiness slowly appearing on his face.

He thought for a while with his head raised, but didn’t reply to Xu Wei’s message and started the car, driving towards the city center.

"Give me two... three strings of ten thousand-shot firecrackers."

After scouring half the city, he finally found what he wanted, paid for it, tossed the firecrackers into the trunk, whistled as he sat back in the car, and headed for the suburbs.

The night deepened.

The black car, like a ghost, sped along Luo City Avenue, Sun Wen, with the car’s music, nodded and swayed his head, occasionally humming along, a smile on his face.

"You’re not as nostalgic as I imagined,

Memory can’t call back your tenderness,

In the end, it’s not just pretense of indifference,

I turn my head and wonder why a tear falls,

I’m not as fragile as I thought,

After parting, I’ve not even lost weight,

We’ve crossed several springs together..."

An hour later, the music abruptly stopped, and Sun Wen parked the car in front of a house following his memory.

It took more than a year to get a divorce, tsk...

He checked the time, shook his head as he got out of the car, looked around, then pulled the ten thousand-shot firecrackers from the trunk, stretched up to his full height, and hung them on both sides of the gate.

Crack crack bang bang!

The sound of firecrackers exploding violently pierced the night, the flashing firelight reflecting on Sun Wen’s face in the car, flickering.

He was smoking, with a sneaky smile of someone who had just done something naughty.

"Who is it?! Such an asshole, not letting people sleep?!"

"Damn! What the hell is this in the middle of the night?"

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, you could faintly hear cursing from other courtyards, Sun Wen rolled down the window, spit, and as the firecrackers at the door were about to end, he threw the last string of firecrackers out of the car window, lit them with his cigarette, let go, then rolled up the window and reversed the car.

Completely relieved.

"What the hell, in the middle of the night..."

Xu Yue, cursing, put on her clothes and opened the door, shining the phone light on the ground in front of her door, she froze seeing the red paper scraps everywhere.

The firecrackers on the side of the street were still popping and shooting fire, she brushed the smoke away with her hand, turned her head to look at the car that was slowly driving away.

"Sun Wen?"

Her instincts told her that it was Sun Wen sitting in the car in front.

"Sun Wen!"

Xu Yue raised her voice and shouted, watching the taillights of the car fade away, she ran a few steps forward, then stopped and stood still, her hand holding the phone light drooping powerlessly.

"Sun Wen..."
