Obviously, he had no idea why Xia Dabao was doing this. Was it because she was annoyed? Because she wanted so quiet ti alone?
Or had she finally had enough and wanted to lay all her cards on the table?
No matter whom she chose, he was supposed to stay calm now.
However, what he hadn’t expected was for Xia Dabao to walk up to him after throwing down the vegetable basket, wrap her arms around him, and then, standing on tiptoe, suddenly kiss him on the chin.
She couldn’t reach any higher even on her tiptoes.
This ti, it was Long Aixi and Tian Xiaobei’s turn to be astonished.
They heard Xia Dabao raise her voice, clearly resonating in the middle of the courtyard, "Xiao’ai, I’m following you. In this lifeti, through winds and storms or sunshine, through riches or poverty, through the ordinary or riding horses in Jianghu, I’m sticking with you!"
"..." Long Aixi was silent for only a few seconds before he suddenly picked up Xia Dabao and headed towards the room.
He was going to kiss her thoroughly.
"Xiao’ai, your waist..."
"It’s totally fine!"
"..."
anwhile, Tian Xiaobei, still standing in the courtyard, suddenly felt her hopes crumble like ash.
...
And so, Xia Dabao bid a reluctant farewell to Peach Blossom Village.
She had thought her parents would be reluctant to let her go, but her father said with a nonchalant air, "This ti, our family even saved on the dowry."
Her mother said, "Not at all, Spikenard Square is all yours. If Xiao’ai ever bullies you, just go there and spend the money as you please."
Long Aixi laughed and said, "Aunt Nan Feng, I treasure Dabao like a gem in my hand; I would never bully her. I will pamper her for a lifeti."
"You better keep your word!" Nan Feng said.
"I will!"
"When you’re at the gang’s headquarter, rember to give her a decent wedding," Nan Feng said. "Even though her father and I can’t attend, I hope my daughter can have a prestigious wedding."
"Of course, rest assured Aunt Nan Feng, it will certainly be a grand ceremony," Long Aixi promised.
"Still calling Aunt?" Nan Feng laughed.
Long Aixi imdiately called out loudly, "Mother!"
Neither her parents nor Axian cried, but Xia Dabao did.
She cried all the way out of Guang Province, looking as if she had lost her soul. Fortunately, Long Aixi was ever so loving throughout the journey, pampering and caring for her ticulously.
Plus, as both were unwed and determined to get married, there was no need for separate rooms anymore. They traveled by day and entwined by night, their sweetness rivaling that of the Immortal, and Xia Dabao gradually lost her lancholy, instead filled with anticipation for the life ahead.
Lu Jianxi was amazed at how his son had brought Xia Dabao back in less than a month, praising him greatly. He said, once they wed, he would hand over the position of gang leader to him, for a man must set up his own enterprise after starting a family.
While Ma Jianghu had always harbored feelings for Xia Dabao, her enthusiasm remained undiminished upon Xia Dabao’s return. She treated her like a daughter and quickly ordered the wedding preparations to begin.
...
Xia Dabao’s wedding was indeed grand.
The Headquarter rarely held celebrations, but when it did, it was sure to invite friends from all across Jianghu.
On the wedding day, there were a thousand guests discussing who the bride really was, but no one knew her true background, the sect she belonged to, whether she was soone from Jianghu or from the court.
When asked, Lu Jianxi only smiled without a word, and after that, no one dared to ask anymore. They presud the girl had a mysterious and significant background.
In ancient tis, brides did not have to et guests during the wedding. Xia Dabao, under her red bridal veil, found the outside music of suonas and drums quite dull. Eventually, she simply lifted the veil.
