Chapter 321 – "She was the woman who conquered the boss after all." (1)
"Yeah, I can't be a bridesmaid but I think my big brother will prefer me looking this way anyway."
Of course no big brothers would want to see their little sister always being a rebellious one.
Huo ChuChu had dyed her hair back to its original black color and also had extensions put in.
"I can't make my big brother look bad tomorrow."
She wasn't a bridesmaid but she was the only one from the Huo's who would be there tomorrow.
She represented the family's support for Huo Sishen.
All of a sudden, Gu Shishi felt that her tears had swelled up a little.
"Mmm. So you have nothing going on at night? Come chat with us then."
Huo ChuChu agreed right away.
Not too long later, someone else came knocking on the door. They were Chen Kexin, who had been harassing Gu Shishi all along; Li Yiru, who had always wanted to befriend Gu Shishi; then there was also Zhou Mi, who had always tried but failed to lose weight; and a few other girls.

"Hi, hi, we are here to join you for your last single night as well."
The girl to the left of Zhou Mi greeted Gu Shishi as well.
"I'm 2333 in the chat group and my grandmother is 23333. My name is Zhang Qier, you can call me Qiqi."
The girl to the right also pointed at herself.
"I'm 666 in the chat group. He Xiaomu."
Naturally, there should be a pajama party on the last single night.
Then played a round of Truth or Dare and gave presents to the bride.
Li Yiru was the first to raise her hand. "I've been chasing after you this entire time but never succeeded. That's alright. We shall we resume again tomorrow. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Huo."
She gave her a De Beers diamond bracelet as a gift.
She gritted her teeth.
"I borrowed money from my dad for this... It will probably take me 3-5 years to repay him... if I am to earn the amount myself.
"Give it back to me if you don't like it."
Li Yiru turned her head away after she handed over the gift.
A second later, she was squeezed out by someone from behind her and she didn't even have the change to play a tsundere.
"This is from me and my grandmother."
Chen Kexin was even more generous. She had taken advantage of Gu Shishi many times when she bought paintings from her in the past.
She even had her grandmother chipped in to the gift this time. It was a pair of diamond bears, a man and a woman.
"I wish you two have baby soon and I will give you new bear then."
Zhou Mi was the next to follow. She waved the red wine in her hand and said, "I asked around for your birthday and this was red wine from that day and from the best winery in France. We finish this entire bottle tonight and you say goodbye to your girlhood tomorrow and turn completely into a young woman! You let your husband buy wine to pamper you from now on."
Her girlfriend, too, chuckled and walked up.
One of them gave her a pink silk Chanel nightgown and one an entire set of Armani bath products.
"This is for tomorrow night. Hehe."

Huo ChuChu, too, did not want to be left out. "My brother has germophobic tendency. You can't have too many nightgowns."
She gave her half a dozen of laced, slinged, nightgowns.
Gu Shishi, "... ..."
In her previous life, she had no friends and the only thing that she knew was to draw.
In this life time, she couldn't say she has friends. She was busy surviving and didn't really want to befriend this grope of young misses who looked down upon commoners.
Today, she suddenly discovered that they weren't as bad and stupid as she thought.
Quite the contrary, they could be quite warm sometimes.
She sniffled and cleared her throat gently.
She had never even gotten this much gifts on her birthdays before.
In fact, it had crossed her mind in her previous life that she might need to rent a maid of honor n her wedding day as she had no friends who could take the role.
Now... she felt a sort of happiness... being surrounded.
Even though they might not be the brightest or had a clear mind a lot of times. But it certainly felt good to be doted on!
Chapter 322 – "She was the woman who conquered the boss after all." (2)
Gu Shishi couldn't help but looked back at the Qin's sisters.
They had been taking turns taking time off to spend time with her.
It was said that they had paid a hefty price for taking time off – they had left Qin Ruhai at their own family hospital as collateral to make up for headcount.
As such, Qin Ruhai had to work overtime up until now and had still been able to get to this island. He would try to the flight tomorrow morning before the wedding.
Older Sister Qin smiled and said, "I didn't have any gift with me, so just a red pocket.
"In addition, customarily, there's [s*xual] enlightenment on the night before the wedding. I can take up on that as well if that's necessary."
Everybody laughed and the mood became curious.
"Give one. We want to listen in too!"
"Haha, Big Sister Qin, I have forgotten, did you specialize in gynecology or obstetrics in college?"
"Yes! There is a lot of need!"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Wait. Let's open up a bottle of wine first. We must drink wine while we listen to Big Sister Qin's enlightenment!"
Gu Shishi hadn't expected that they would be so interested in this.
Before she could even talk and right after she had started shaking her head, she was tugged by Little Sister Qin next to her.
"My sister and I are gynecologist and obstetrician and my dad is a pediatrician. We will be able to assist you in the next 10 to 20 years to come."
Gu Shishi, "......"
What a family whose conscient of their civil duties!
"Let me remind you this. Don't let up your guard after you get married. You don't want the man to have total control over you." Big Sister Qin had a few drinks. Her cheeks were red and she was seemingly a little drunk. "You need to have control over their purse string and hold onto it tightly. Make sure that he won't have the chance the goof around outside.
"He must report to you when he meets up with female friends.
"He is not allowed to hire good looking secretaries.
"And... it is obvious that Huo Sishen was a man of few words... you need to have him talk to you ore at home and communicate with you more.
"As a wife, you need to share the same language as your husband. There will be no communication if he doesn't talk.
"How else will he be able to get to know you and for you to get to know him?
"Getting married is only the first step. The first step into your gravestone... you need to be careful every step of the way. Maintaining the relationship is the only way to surviving it... and to key to living happily ever after."
After Big Sister Qin had finished talking, she was stopped by Little Sister Qin.
Everybody went silent for a little while.
They all knew that Big Sister Qin's relationship was on the rock.
Never mind about her reputation, being betrayed by the man, especially the one that she had been backing, was no doubt an awful feeling.
"You keep an eye out on Huo Sishen!
"As my mother would say, the trick to marriage is – you watch over your husband like he's your son but you want him to feel that he's your father!
"Holding onto the man's wallet is as important as holding onto his stomach.
"My grandmother idea is to have a kid soon. That will make the man become more responsible."
... ...

All of those made Gu Shishi felt dizzy.
She had no idea what to say other than sipping her wine.
The topics continued to digress from that point forward and, by the time Gu Shishi woke up in the morning, she saw a few people sleeping on the floor in her room.
She shook her head and was still somewhat sober.
The second day, nevertheless –
When she saw Huo Sishen in his groom outfit with flowers in his pocket, a bunch of speech bubbles popped up in front of her.
"Ask for his passcode to his bank card."
"Have a kid before he figured out what was going on and have him take care of it. That way he will have no time to goof off!"
"Treat him like he's your son. Educate him if he isn't docile. Let him know that you are unhappy if he doesn't listen. But call him 'daddy'."
Before she knew it, the look on her became more and more curious.
Chapter 323 – "She was the woman who conquered the boss after all." (3)
"Are you not feeling well?"
Huo Sishen noticed her troubled look from afar, as though she had run into some difficulties.
He asked her softly.
Gu Shishi clenched her fist, placed it next to her lips, and cleared her throst.
"It's nothing.
"I had some drinks last night. Probably just didn't sleep very well."
Huo Sishen frowned a little.
"Just a little bit. I wasn't even drunk."
Sharing a bottle between everyone, it wasn't easy to get drunk.
Gu Shishi gestured it with her little finger.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Huo Sishen took and a look and nodded reluctantly.
But when the host came over to rehearse, he declined it out right.
"That won't be necessary.
"We will just go for it tonight."
The host, who had prepared all sorts of interactive sections between the bride, the groom, and the guests, "? ? ?"
"Go get some sleep."
Huo Sishen took Gu Shishi away with him.
The host was frantic.
The twins next to him patted and comforted him. "You will get used to it."
Host, "... ..."
What was he supposed to do?!
The ceremony was tonight and nobody want to rehearse for it!
That was unheard of!
"Then let's have the bride's father come walk down the axile. I'll walk him through what he needs to be aware of."
"There is no bride's father."
"... ...? What about the groom's parents?"
"There's no groom's parents."
"... ...? !"
That night, when all the guests were seated.
Gu Shishi, who got her nap in the afternoon finally walked out being much anticipated by all.
As the wedding march began to play, she got nervous all of a sudden.
Looking at Huo Sishen, who was already waiting for her in the middle of the stage, her mind went blank.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
How was she going to walk over there again?
She seemed to recall the host mentioning that she couldn't just walk up there herself; she needed someone to take her there.
What else did he say?
She slept in the afternoon and, as soon as she got up, it was makeup... she was able to sneak in a bowl of bird nest soup that Huo ChuChu had brought her in between everything.
But, now, how was she going to get up onto the stage?
Host...
Looking at the host that was standing afar from her on the stage, she was about to start crying.
Sudden, a firm and steady hand reached over.
It was none other than Li Chengzheng, father of Li Yiru.
"Walk with me, Niece Gu.
"Young Master Huo had asked me to take on the role."
Her dad didn't care for her.
But there were others who cared.
Huo Sishen turned around and saw Gu Shishi walking down the axile toward him in her all-white gown with her hand in Li Chengzheng's arm.
While the host was saying, "Please give the bride to the groom," Huo Sishen had already taken up Gu Shishi's hand.
Li Chengjing smiled bitterly and the host was trying hard to hold himself together.
Loud applause had, however, started from below the stage.
"The groom is now invited... to speak."
The host had already given up.
He hasn't even give the signal yet and the two had already walked over to the kiosk on their own.

Huo Sishen didn't even bother looking over at him.
He looked at the microphone that the host was handing over with resentment and raised his brows.
Gu Shishi knew that he was germophobic and was going to help him with it.
But Huo Sishen reached over and took it before she could.
All of a sudden, the venue quieted down.
Almost everyone there was aware of history behind Huo Sishen.
Many never expected that Huo Sishen, the one with the cursed fate, would be marrying a beauty one day.
Qin Ruhai, who had done everything within his power, and was finally able to arrive with his suitcase behind him at this moment, finally arrived at the resort and the scene in front of him made his eyes welled up.
"Hot dang... I've waited all these years and have yet to find myself a wife... How did a dead-fish face like him able to score himself such a delicate little wife! And dang, I had to work my @$$ off at work... Life is too unfair! This is nonsense! I haven't even seen a pretty nurse in days.... FML!"
Chapter 324 – "She was the woman who conquered the boss after all." (4)
Luo Zheng, with his champagne glass in hand, smiled bitterly when he heard him.
Was he right or was he right?
Who would have thought that Huo Sishen would end up a winner in life?
After Qin Ruhai had finished rambling, he turned to look at the stage again and busted out laughing.
Taking pleasure in Huo Sishen's misfortune, he picked up a wine glass in the night's breeze and looked at the decorative lights around him. He felt happy and all of his disgruntlement was gone.
"Even a hero cannot resist a beauty.
"The man who could normally only say 'mmm', 'okay', 'irritating'...now must utter sweet nothingness to the bride. Hah! What goes around sure comes around!
"I can't wait to see what he is going to say! Had he asked me sooner, I could at least help him out and write it for him!"
Qin Ruhai couldn't help himself.
Hearing that, Luo Zheng, too, turned to look at the two on the stage curiously.

Gu Shishi, in her custom-made gown, looked like the galaxy had fallen on her. She was sparkling and glamourous.
Huo Sishen stood there with his back straight.
He nodded slightly.
His deep voice resounded in the entire venue.
"I will give you gifts everyday from now on, as your husband.
"I will send you a red pocket every day, 365 days a year, at least for the next 70 years."
The venue went completely silent once again.
Then – all the girls started shrieking in envy!
Qin Ruhai's smile was twisted. "What?!! He copied it! He must have copied it from somewhere! The dead fish face was uttering sweet words.... ..." And better than what he could have come up with?!
How was that possible?!
Even Luo Zheng, standing next to him, gave him a blue look.
His untruthful information could have deadly consequences.
And here he was looking forward to seeing Huo Sishen embarrassing himself.
While the guests roared from below the stage, Gu Shishi, standing on the stage, was dumbfounded.
She looked at the man standing in front of her in disbelief, her cheeks blushing all the way.
He remembered all of them... those were the words that she had said to him in the past.
She had blurted them out when she was worried that she would be kicked out.
And, to this date, he still remembered each and every single word.
Gu Shishi suddenly felt a boiling stream of warmth that rushed out of her chest... and it spread to all of her limbs and even each of her pore.
She had never been so pampered by anyone before.
"Mmm."
Gu Shishi didn't realize that she was about to start crying.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
But tears had already welled up in her eyes.
Even her voice suggested that her nose was stuffy.
"Anything you would like to say to our groom, our lovely bride?"
The host, who had already given up, was pulled back to reality by the very fluffy words.
Gu Shishi tightened her lips and blinked her tear-filled eyes.
She took a deep breath before she took over the microphone with poise. She looked at Huo Sishen's handsome face and nodded solemnly.
Parting her red lips, her tone could not have been more serious.
"From now on, I will paint a handsome man coming out of shower painting for you every day.
"And record your beautiful biceps every day."
Recording with one's brush is the highest form of compliment from an artist!
The host, who had just regained his confident for his job, "... ... ??!"
Even Huo Sishen's lips twitched uncontrollably.
The venue was quiet all over again.
Then the guest burst into a loud roar once again!
Qin Ruhai, "No way I could top such fluffiness! No wonder I am still single."
Luo Zheng, "Mighty."
Amidst everyone's shrieking, Huo Sishen had already leaned down.
He had lifted up Gu Shishi's veil and kissed her.
Huo ChuChu, "... ... She is my sister-in-law alright!"
Siyi and Sier, "She is the woman who has conquered our boss alright."
Chapter 325 – And Gu Shishi started to.... bawl. (1)
Being kissed all of a sudden, Gu Shishi was almost in a trance.
Her waist was held tightly by the man and his thick male pheromones enveloped her...
Dazed and confused from the kiss, she finally went back to her room to change into her next gown under everybody's gaze of admiration.
"Do I need to go make my rounds and toast everyone?"
Gu Shishi suddenly remembered something important.
The host really wanted to roll his eyes. "No. This is a Western style wedding."
Gu Shishi blinked immediately. So, what was the point of all those gowns then?
To look pretty! To show off!
She was so happy that her eyes narrowed immediately... ...
Huo Sishen didn't care about that. He expressed that they could make round if she so desired.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
The host almost had self-doubts all over again.
Luckily, Gu Shishi decided against it.
That night, she would eat a plate of food, go and change into a different gown, and then enjoy more scrumptious food at a different table.
That baffled even the photographer team.
But Gu Shishi was happy about it.
All those who were attending today were her real friends.
Not the hypocritical ones who were only here for socializing and networking.
Despite Boss Huo's rumor, they still all came to their wedding. Of course she would need to drink and eat with them!
Finally – she successfully heard the voice of the system.
[Main Mission #2 completed!]
[Received Semi-permanent arched brow halo.]
[Alcohol detected. Natural blush from wine halo activated!]
[The first night of the marriage. One could never have too much to drink. Passive skill drunkactivated!]
Gu Shishi, "... ..."
She hasn't even had the chance to set her semi-permanent brow shape yet and she was stunned.
Her face started to become incredibly warm and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
"Aiya, Shishi, your cheeks are blushing again. You've drank too much just like you did last night?"
"Your blush is so pretty when you are drunk. It's even prettier than the blush that I had on. Did yours have a pearl effect?"
Most certainly.
As she knew she would be drinking at her wedding, she had adjusted the blush effect ahead of time.
It was in the evening and there were cameras on her. Naturally, she would need to have some pearl effect along with blush to make herself pretty and stand out.
Nevertheless... ...
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Shoot! She didn't want to be drunk!
"I... ..."
Gu Shishi stood up quickly but she could already feel it.
Her blood was already stirring from her feet up!
[Beep! Announcing new missions!]
[Beautiful people, great wine, great views. How can you sleep alone on a day like this?]
[First night: After the wine had turned your skin into a pink hue, throw yourself into your husband's arm and said you love him in tears. Refuse the tea for sobering up (0/3). Refuse to go directly to bed (0/3). Complete the important ritual between husband and wife.]
[Reward: Bride halo.]
Complete your ***!
Holding up the train of her wedding gown in one hand, she stumbled in her room's direction in her high heels.
This would not end well!
She must get back into her room before her drunk effect got any worse. She didn't want to be seen by everyone!
This was not cool!
She didn't even have time to read the detailed description. Turning around, she started walking briskly toward her cabin amidst that voices that were calling out to her.
Nevertheless, she barely made it onto the beach when she felt dizzy and was about to collapse onto the ground!
This response to the alcohol not the same as how it was the previous time?!
[It has to do with the amount and type of alcohol you have consumed and also your own condition on the day of.]
Gu Shishi didn't even want to shout at this darn system anymore.
Her body was burning so much that she could feel herself breaking out in sweat.
She took another step and she felt that she had walked a curved line on the beach... and the street lamps all seemed to have doubles...
When she was finally able to grab onto a lamp post and took a breather, she bumped into the chest of a man with a hint of sandalwood smell.
