Chapter 945: 136 Strange Lad_4

His action caused everyone present to fall silent, and even their breathing could be heard.

"Aiyo!" someone suddenly exclaimed, jolting everyone back to their senses, "My, Mr. Meng really does cherish his wife!"

"Indeed, Madam Meng is truly fortunate!"

Aunt Chen also covered her mouth and laughed, "On my wedding day, my old man was on the verge of kneeling in front of me! But Mr. Meng here is the one who really pampers his wife. Sanniang will be happy in the future!"

Beneath her bridal veil, Mo Sanniang was deeply moved when she saw Meng Liangdong kneel, she knew she hadn’t married the wrong man.

At the side, Xia Zheng suddenly scoffed with a laugh, "Useless show-off," which immediately earned him a glare from Lin Yuan, "You’re capable, so go steal her away!"

Seeing Lin Yuan displeased, Xia Zheng hastily grinned sheepishly and wrapped his arms around Lin Yuan’s delicate waist. Whispering into her ear, he chuckled, "Me? I’d be even less respectable than him! I’d end up kneeling right behind you."

Pfft.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but snort with laughter, glancing at him with feigned anger.

Xia Zheng, however, gripped Lin Yuan’s hand tighter, earnestly looking into her eyes, he declared, "Don’t laugh, I’m speaking from the heart. As long as you’re willing to marry me, I’d be glad to be bossed around by you forever, and let you be the one on top!"

Just when Lin Yuan was somewhat touched, this guy leaned in even closer, slyly adding with a crooked smile, "Whether it’s in public, or in bed."

Lin Yuan was taken aback, she bit her lip tightly, her little hand accurately finding the back of Xia Zheng’s hand.

"Hiss!"

After hearing someone inhale sharply from the pain, Lin Yuan proudly arched an eyebrow and turned away gracefully.

After the wedding ceremony, it was time for the bride and groom to enter the bridal chamber, but Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were busy attending to the guests and didn’t follow to see the subsequent activities in the bridal chamber. Seeing Lin Yuan already enthusiastically welcoming the female guests, Xia Zheng rubbed his reddened hand and turned to welcome the male guests.

"How’s the taste? Eat up, don’t be shy!"

Lin Yuan greeted the arriving guests with a smile, arranging seats for each one, but as she moved among the guests, she felt a gaze following her.

Just wondering, she suddenly caught sight of a young man sneakily glancing around.

Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed, instinct told her something was wrong with this guy.

"Hey, handsome, quite unfamiliar, aren’t you? You don’t seem to be from around here," Lin Yuan appeared behind the young man while he looked around and slapped his shoulder.

The young man was visibly startled, whirling around only to brighten up upon seeing it was Lin Yuan, then patting his chest, he sighed with relief, "Aiyo, I thought a ghost had tapped me! It’s just you, scared me to death!"

Lin Yuan’s face darkened, this guy called her a ghost! Where would you find a ghost as handsome as her!

"Heh, you’re afraid even in broad daylight? You must have a guilty conscience, right?" Lin Yuan eyed him skeptically, and sure enough, she noticed him dodge her gaze, confirming her suspicions.

"Me, have a guilty conscience? I’m straightforward and clear, no ghosts on my mind!" The young man pompously patted his chest as he spoke.

Lin Yuan pursed her lips, "The innocent have nothing to fear from spirits. Hey, who are you exactly? Don’t tell me you’re trying to steal something in this chaos?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, her hands discreetly on guard, ready for the young man to reveal any signs of guilt.

But the young man was apparently quite crafty, rolling his eyes, "Me, look like a thief? Humph, I don’t give a damn!"

No wonder Lin Yuan was suspicious; indeed, many thieves disguised themselves as guests to pilfer unattended valuables, especially when this young man’s eyes were especially shifty, never resting for a moment.

Seeing Lin Yuan was not about to let him off, the young man twisted his mouth awkwardly, spreading his hands, "Aiyah, I’m really not a thief. I am, I am the bride’s cousin. Since the bride has no brothers, I, as a cousin, naturally have to help out, right?"

Mo Sanniang’s cousin? Why had she never heard that Mo Sanniang had a cousin?

However, since he knew about Mo Sanniang’s lack of brothers, he was probably indeed her cousin.

"Then hurry up and go help outside. The house is full of womenfolk. I can handle things here." Even if the young man was a cousin, the propriety between men and women shouldn’t be ignored, especially since he was quite good-looking. There was no guarantee he wouldn’t use his charms to woo a few young girls who were just blossoming.

The young man chuckled, giving Lin Yuan a meaningful look, and agreed repeatedly before leaving.

Watching him leave, Lin Yuan turned back to chat with the people next to her, but before she could say much, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

She inwardly cursed "Not good," and quickly followed after him.

Scanning around, there was no sign of the young man anymore.

Seeing her urgency, Xia Zheng quickly came over and, after understanding the situation, said, "I haven’t heard anyone mention missing items. I think it’s best to let Mr. Meng and his family take inventory tomorrow."

That was all they could do for now. With the young man gone, he must have run away.

Lin Yuan frowned and sighed, "It’s all because I was careless. The fact that the matchmaker left with Sister Mo and everyone saw it definitely made it known she has no brothers. I let my guard down because of that and trusted that guy, sigh!"

Xia Zheng consoled, "Don’t feel bad. You should be glad that you noticed in time. He didn’t get the chance to act."

"I hope so," Lin Yuan pursed her lips, exchanged a few words with Xia Zheng, and they both went back to welcoming the guests.

However, Xia Zheng was still very cautious and had someone guard the newlyweds’ valuables, just in case someone really had ill-intentions.
