Qi Jingren smiled, "Then let’s just sleep like this."

Qin Shaobai tapped her nose with his finger, his eyes filled with affection, his gaze seemingly melting into water, brimming with tenderness.

"I love you." Qi Jingren looked at him, openly revealing her feelings. Love is love, she admitted it and was willing to continue this love with him.

"Silly girl." Qin Shaobai lowered his head and pressed a deep kiss on her lips, then moved off her and lay next to her, threading his hand through under her neck, letting her rest on it.

He held her in his arms and said in the most steadfast tone next to her ear, "Qi Jingren, I love you too."

Su Jiuyi didn’t know how she got through the night. Even when daylight broke, she still felt like she was in a dream, everything felt so surreal and illusory.

She picked up her phone again to dial Shi Aoju’s number, but the result was the same; the system prompted that the other party’s phone was turned off.

Unable to reach Shi Aoju, she managed to chat up with a maid whom she had a decent relationship with, and found out that no one was at home today, including Shi Aoju.

Su Jiuyi paced back and forth in the yard, and as it was approaching seven o’clock, she began to feel anxious too.

Just as she was about to call Qi Jingren to ask about the situation, her phone rang, it was Su Manning calling.

Su Jiuyi answered the phone, "Hello."

"Sister, why didn’t you notify me beforehand about your marriage? I didn’t even have time to prepare a gift." Perhaps because she had seen how well Shi Aoju and Su Jiuyi got along before, Su Manning didn’t find their marriage too sudden, she just complained that Su Jiuyi didn’t inform her ahead of time.

"Too busy." Su Jiuyi couldn’t find a suitable excuse to explain, so she just made a random excuse.

"Is that so." Su Manning didn’t seem doubtful.

"Mm."

"Then I’ll give you a red envelope, Sister hopefully won’t find me too tacky. The wedding starts in two hours, so there’s no time to prepare a gift, hope you don’t mind," Su Manning said apologetically.

"Don’t worry, I don’t need any gifts," Su Jiuyi said, "Besides, I should be the one giving out red envelopes."

After all, she and Su Manning share the same blood; no matter how deep the rift, certain courtesies are indispensable.

"Then let’s exchange envelopes and see whose is bigger," Su Manning laughed, her voice as melodious as a musical note. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Before Su Jiuyi could speak, she added, "Sister, Dad asked me to relay a message for you. He said he won’t take a penny of the 30 million dowry your brother-in-law gave, but he wants to keep it safe himself, considering it as leaving you a way out. He also said he hopes you find happiness."

Su Jiuyi didn’t know when Su Zhenxiong received the dowry, and she didn’t intend to find out, she just said, "Please pass my thanks to him."

Su Manning was silent for a few seconds, then spoke somewhat heavily, "Dad went to the company very early, it seems there’s a financial problem that needs his attention, he probably won’t make it to your wedding."

Su Jiuyi responded with a sound, "Let’s leave it at that, I need to go prepare."

"Alright, Sister, I’ll head over shortly," Su Manning said, "This is the most important day of your life, don’t think about those unhappy things, be the most beautiful bride."
