Sensing a change in Li Beinian's expression, Cheng Su quickly changed the topic.
The other people in the room played along and told a few jokes, filling the room with laughter.
However, for some reason, Li Beinian felt rather heavy-hearted.
She couldn't bring herself to smile, as though heavy blocks of lead were hanging from the corners of her mouth. She felt inexplicably ill at ease.
Li Beinian suddenly felt thirsty and asked for a glass of water.
Cheng Su handed her a glass of warm water and Li Beinian drank all of it in a single gulp.
Her fiery red lipstick left a red stain on the rim.
As she handed the glass back to Cheng Su, it slipped through her fingers and fell to the ground.
Crash!
The crisp sound of glass shattering was accompanied by flying shards.
Everyone jumped and looked at the ground.
When Cheng Su saw this, her expression changed. She quickly bent down to pick up the pieces.
Tang Xiaoge stood up and tugged at Cheng Su, saying auspicious words to counter the accident."
Then, she got Aunt Jiang to bring a new broom and dustpan.
As Tang Xiaoge swept the floor, she continued to say auspicious words. She mumbled for a long time, but Li Beinian couldn't hear exactly what was being said.
She looked at the broken pieces of glass on the floor and asked, "What time is it?"
Cheng Su was a silly girl. She looked at her watch and was about to speak when Bo Chengcheng interrupted her.
Bo Chengcheng looked at Li Beinian and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Beinian looked at her and sweetly closed her eyes. "I'm just tired. The sooner we get married, the sooner I can get some sleep."
"You silly lass." Tang Xiaoge smiled. "You can't say such things in front of the bridegroom later. We can't let them think that you're so eager to marry him."
"We were married a long time ago."
"Even then you can't." Tang Xiaoge said seriously, "It's a joyous occasion. We have to have an auspicious start."
"Yes, yes, yes. Got it." Li Beinian yawned. "I'll have to go to the washroom first."
Li Beinian's outfit was rather substantial and she felt uncomfortable from the weight of it. However, she rejected the girls' offer to help her and walked towards the washroom by herself.
After using the toilet, she checked herself in the mirror.
The mirror on the yellow rosewood reflected the bride's face.
Her makeup was beautiful and exquisite.
She was his bride today.
She was currently the hottest female celebrity, Mu Xichen had even specially hired a world-renowned wedding planning team to film the entire process of the memorable occasion.
There were close to a thousand guests, as well as live broadcasts on Weibo and many other platforms...
This wedding was highly anticipated.
Mu Xichen had put in a vast amount of effort to make this a grand and unforgettable wedding for her.
But strangely, Li Beinian was feeling anxious.
There was also a sort of heaviness in her heart.
After washing her hands, Li Beinian touched up her appearance and walked out. She realized that there were a few people in the house who did not fit in with the wedding scene.
They were dressed in police uniform and looked serious. Sensing that the people they were questioning were starting to look behind them, the policemen turned their heads.
When they saw Li Beinian, one of them came forward and said, "Hello, Miss Li Beinian. We've received a report that your newlywed husband is suspected of illegal transactions. Please cooperate with our investigation."
