Chapter 99: Fetching the Bride

The courtyard had been decorated by Mother Fu in a very festive manner.

The wedding atmosphere was unmistakable.

When a large group of young men entered the yard, it really did get a bit crowded.

Everyone was surprised to see the courtyard filled with dowry items wrapped in red silk, including even a color TV and an electric fan.

“Are we supposed to move all this stuff?” Qin Wenshu asked in a low voice.

“These are all the dowry items I’ve prepared for my daughter,” Mother Fu replied.

“Mom, have them carry everything around the courtyard once, then bring it all back here. I’ll be living here after the wedding,” Qin Wenhuo said.

Mother Fu: …?

How could she not love a son-in-law like this?

“As long as you’re happy!”

Then she quickly called toward the main room, “Mingxue, Wenhuo is here to fetch the bride!”

“Mom, I’ll go in myself.”

Qin Wenhuo turned to the others and said, “Take everything out, walk it around the big courtyard once, then bring it back.”

“Alright.” All the guys were Qin Wenhuo’s childhood friends, so they didn’t mind the trouble.

They started carrying things out one by one.

If it could be tied to the back of a bicycle, they tied it to the back of a bicycle.

For the bigger items, they just carried them by hand.

Qin Wenhuo walked up to Fu Mingxue’s bedroom door and knocked—

“Come in,” Fu Mingxue’s clear voice rang out.

She knew exactly who was standing outside.

To be honest, she hadn’t been this nervous even on the day they got their marriage certificate.

Now, she finally felt like a real bride.

In her past life—no, don’t think about such unlucky things.

The door opened, and Qin Wenhuo entered, dressed smartly in his military uniform.

His gaze immediately landed on the person sitting by the bed, and he couldn’t help but pause, a flash of amazement in his eyes.

He knew she was beautiful, but he hadn’t expected her to be so breathtaking today.

He could feel his heart skip a beat, then start pounding rapidly.

He steadied himself and walked over.

Standing in front of Fu Mingxue, he said, “I’ve come to fetch you!”

His bride!

Fu Mingxue looked up at him, unable to help but think how handsome this man was.

Especially in his military uniform—he was just impossibly good-looking.

So dashing.

Before she could respond, he scooped her up in his arms.

Fu Mingxue was suddenly airborne, and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Her face flushed bright red—

Oh heavens, why was her heart beating so fast?

Though Qin Wenhuo’s face showed no emotion, inside he was anything but calm.

With strong arms holding his bride, he walked steadily outside.

Mother Fu was already seated in the main hall.

Qin Wenhuo set Fu Mingxue down, and the couple knelt together to pay their respects to Mother Fu.

“Get up, get up!” Mother Fu hurriedly handed them the red envelopes she’d prepared.

“Thank you, Mom!”

They accepted the red envelopes and thanked her in unison.

After getting up, Qin Wenhuo looked at Fu Mingxue, ready to pick her up again and carry her out.

Fu Mingxue seemed to know what he was planning and quickly took a step back. “I can walk out myself.”

Qin Wenhuo glanced at her face, then nodded. “Alright!”

He then turned to Mother Fu and said, “Mom, come with us! My father especially asked for you to come along. Our family isn’t that particular about traditions.”

Mother Fu hesitated, “Is that… alright?”

Qin Wenhuo replied, “Of course! Come along. The kids can come too.”

Fu Mingxue added, “Mom, since your son-in-law said so, let’s all go together.”

“Alright then! Let’s go together.” Mother Fu was a bit emotional. As a mother, being able to witness her daughter’s wedding truly made her happy."
