A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

Chapter 182

Xiao Han turned her head and looked at Xiao Zimo, "Did I offend him? He is Bai Yichen's brother after all."

"He is Bai Yichen's brother?"

"Adopted brother. Bai Yichen was adopted by his father." Xiao Han suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "Who adopted you? Do you have any family?"

Xiao Zimo paused for a moment, "No one. Back then someone wanted to adopt me but I refused. Since then I've been living on my own, working my way through school."

Xiao Han looked at him in disbelief, "So the money you used to study abroad was also earned by yourself?"

Xiao Zimo nodded, looking down at her, "Yes, besides school I worked to earn money for my studies...and to wait for you."

Xiao Han felt a tug at her heart. She held his hand and jokingly said, "Looks like you didn't have an easy life in the past! Working part-time jobs while studying, a poor boy working several jobs alone. Weren't there any rich girls who took fancy to you?"

Xiao Zimo said seriously, "There were, but since I was engaged, I naturally had to remain chaste and keep my distance from other women."

Xiao Han glanced at him and boldly asked, "Is that so? How would I know if you really remained chaste? For men, it's hard to tell if you're still a vir..."

"..."

Xiao Zimo put his arm around her waist, "I can teach you how to tell. Do you want to try?"

Xiao Han quickly pushed him away, "I don't want to!"

She then walked towards the nearby residential area.

Xiao Zimo hooked his lips into a smile and followed behind her.

As they neared her home, Xiao Han was still reminding Xiao Zimo, "My mum can be quite chatty so let me warn you first. Just listen more and talk less when you meet her later!"

Xiao Zimo slowly said, "No wonder..."

"No wonder what?" Xiao Han instinctively asked.

"Now I know where you got it from."

"..." Xiao Han glared at him, "Are you saying I'm noisy?"

Xiao Zimo smiled and held her hand, "Of course not. I like a noisy home, it feels lively."

Xiao Han hit him lightly and entered the passcode to unlock the door.

"Mum, I'm home."

Xiao Han's mother immediately came out from the kitchen wearing an apron, apparently cooking.

"Hello Auntie." Xiao Zimo greeted politely with both hands full of stuff.

Xiao Han's mother was clearly stunned when she saw Xiao Zimo.

"Young man, how can it be you?"

"What do you mean, Mum? You know him?" Xiao Han asked in confusion.

"He is the date I was telling you about yesterday! Didn't you refuse to meet him?"

Xiao Han thought for a moment and suddenly recalled her conversation with the matchmaking date from last night. She turned to Xiao Zimo in dissatisfaction, "Xiao Zimo, were you playing guessing games with me? "

"Oh, so your name is Xiao Zimo. Come in, come in." Before Xiao Han could respond, her mother eagerly pulled him into the house.

"Take a seat and rest first, food will be ready soon. I'll cut some fruit for you." Xiao Han's mother happily went into the kitchen to cut fruit.

"Thanks Auntie."

"You're welcome!"

Xiao Han walked over with arms akimbo, feeling a little unhappy. Xiao Zimo clearly knew who she was yesterday at the hospital yet pretended not to recognize her today.

"Xiao Zimo, don't you owe me an explanation? How did you end up becoming my matchmaking date? And why were you playing hide and seek with me on WeChat?"

Xiao Zimo told Xiao Han about meeting her mother yesterday.

"Xiao Han, I thought you really had a boyfriend so I didn't dare to tell you outright."

Xiao Han rolled her eyes, "Oh? So if I really had a boyfriend you would stop pestering me?"

Xiao Zimo paused for a moment, "If you were happy, I would let go."

"You sure know right and wrong!"

At this moment, Xiao Han's mother came out with the fruit. "Zimo, have some fruit first. Xiao Han, come help me in the kitchen!"

Saying so, she pulled Xiao Han into the kitchen.

"Xiao Han, this Xiao Zimo is really good, you have to seize the opportunity!"

"..." Xiao Han was speechless. "Mum, you decided he is good after meeting him only once? If you could judge people so accurately, you wouldn't have brought a mama's boy home last time!"

"Last time was my mistake. This Xiao Zimo is no mama's boy. Heard he is an orphan with no parents. You won't have to worry about in-law issues in the future!"

"..."

After dinner, Xiao Han's mother had found out almost everything there was to know about Xiao Zimo!

She was so pleased with Xiao Zimo that she could not stop heaping praise on him.

She liked his gentle temperament, maturity, stability and career success.

Xiao Han could barely get a word in edgewise and could only vent her frustration by vigorously devouring the pig's trotter.

Seeing Xiao Han's unbecoming behavior, Xiao Han's mother resentfully kicked her leg under the table.

"Ow..." Xiao Han cried out instinctively, "Mum, why did you kick me?"

Xiao Han's mother awkwardly chuckled, "My child, couldn't you eat slower?"

"Ac..." Xiao Han hiccupped. "But I always eat this way!"

Xiao Han's mother signaled her with her eyes. Only then did Xiao Han react. She reflexively glanced at Xiao Zimo.

Xiao Zimo laughed lightly and used a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth, then put another pig's trotter on her plate. "Xiao Han, eat more. Pig's trotters are rich in collagen, very good for beauty and skin. Perfect for girls."

Xiao Han happily smiled, "See, Mum? This is the doctor's recommendation!"

Seeing the tacit interaction between them, Xiao Han's mother also smiled with gratification. Actually she didn't want Xiao Han to keep pretending in front of her partner.

The three of them had a very pleasant dinner. Since Xiao Han now had a boyfriend, and a boyfriend whom she liked very much, Xiao Han's mother felt very relieved.

Xiao Zimo's mother died in childbirth so he never experienced a mother's love.

His father is a man of few words and rarely communicated with him due to the grief from losing his wife.

The opposite could be said of Xiao Han and her mother. They were sincere, warm, and he liked this feeling of family.

Knowing that Xiao Han lost her father early, he was even more determined to take good care of them.

After dinner, they chatted for a while longer before Xiao Han sent Xiao Zimo off.

The two of them walked out of the residential area hand in hand.

"Xiao Han, did you chose to study medicine because of your father?"

Xiao Han smiled, "Yes, my dad died of illness when I was very young. My wish since I was small was to become a doctor and cure diseases to save lives."

Xiao Zimo looked at her earnestly, "I will be with you and help you make your wish come true."

Xiao Han also looked back at him, her tone causal. "Xiao Zimo, thank you. Actually although I felt being single or not didn't matter, having a silly fool willing to share life's pressures and troubles with me, I'd be an idiot to refuse!"

Xiao Zimo smiled and hugged her. "It is you who made me yearn for family."

Despite losing her dad at a young age, Xiao Han remained optimistic. This had much to do with her mother.

Although her matchmaking was a great annoyance, her mother had always been very good to her. She never complained of life's difficulties nor let negative emotions affect Xiao Han, so Xiao Han lived a happy life even without her father.

...

Half a month later, on the romantic festival Qixi.

Xiao Zimo had made sure his schedule was free for the entire day.

Early in the morning, he came to Xiao Han's home holding a bouquet of roses.

"Xiao Han, happy festival."

Xiao Han opened the door and saw Xiao Zimo, still a little surprised, "How did you get here so early?"

She had just gotten out of bed, her hair still a little messy, looking like she just woke up.

"I'm here to pick you up. Isn't it Qixi festival today? Shouldn't we...go out on a date?" Xiao Zimo said.

Xiao Han was stunned, she didn't even realize it was Qixi festival today, she only knew she had the day off and wanted to sleep in a little.

"Is Zimo here?" Xiao Han's mother's voice came from the kitchen, she walked out, saw Xiao Zimo holding a big bouquet of roses, and suddenly realized.

"Oh my, it's Qixi today! Come in and have some breakfast, I just finished making it, you can go out on your date after eating!" Xiao Han's mother said with a smile.

"Thank you auntie."

Xiao Zimo went inside. Although he and Xiao Han were currently dating, they didn't live together.

The three of them had a simple breakfast, then Xiao Han's mother pulled Xiao Han into the bedroom and started rummaging through her closet.

"Mom, what are you looking for?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

"You tell me what kind of clothes you buy? Don't you have a decent skirt?"

"..."

"Oh right, the strappy dress I bought you for your blind date, where is it?"

"I think it's way in the back, I never wore it..."

After rummaging for a while, Xiao Han's mother took out the strappy dress and handed it to Xiao Han, "Wear this on your date today."

"Mom, this doesn't really suit me, does it? I don't like wearing dresses." Xiao Han mumbled.

"You never wore it before, how do you know it doesn't suit you? Hurry up, you have to wear this today!"

"..."

Xiao Han had no choice in the end and was forced to put on the strappy dress with a little cropped cardigan on top.

Then her mother spent some time on her face, put on some light makeup for her, and styled her hair into a rather casual yet delicate updo with a hairpin.

Looking at her completely different self in the mirror, Xiao Han couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Mom, I didn't know you had this skill?"

After being dressed up by her mom, Xiao Han suddenly felt like she transformed from a country bumpkin into a little princess.

With the slightly Chinese-style strappy dress and the bit of Chinese hairstyle, she looked much softer as a whole.

"Your mother was also someone who liked dressing up beautifully back in the days. It's just after your dad passed away, I stopped enjoying dressing up."

Xiao Han gave her mother a big hug, "Mom, it was hard on you!"

"Seeing that you found your own happiness, mom is very happy. I already agreed to give you to Zimo in marriage!"

Xiao Han let her go and laughed, "You're selling me off just like that? Aren't you afraid your judgement is off?"

"I'm certain this time I absolutely didn't judge wrongly. Alright, stop dawdling, he's still waiting for you!" Xiao Han got pushed out.

In front of her mother she didn't feel anything was off, but when she came out and saw Xiao Zimo, Xiao Han still felt a little uneasy.

After all, she never dressed up like this before.

"Um...Xiao Zimo, I got ready."

At the first sight of her, Xiao Zimo was stunned by her beauty. Xiao Han's figure was actually quite good. Although she had a slightly chubby body type, she didn't really have much excess fat.

"Hanhan, you look...very different today." Xiao Zimo said truthfully.

"What? Not good looking?" Xiao Han asked in return.

"Of course good looking, very beautiful."

"Then was I very ugly before? Do you men only like women dressed up like this?" Xiao Han asked deliberately.

Xiao Zimo smiled and walked to her side, "Of course not. I'm saying you look very different today. I like you no matter what you wear or how you dress up. How you dress is your freedom, I'll like and respect however way you dress."

"Xiao Zimo, you really are slick with words, so careful with what you say!" Xiao Han laughed and pinched him.

The two bid farewell to Xiao Han's mother, laughing as they walked out the door.

The Qixi one day date begins.

Like most couples, they ate, went shopping, went to the amusement park, haunted house, played games, watched a movie...

But Xiao Han was a little different from most girls. When Xiao Zimo took her shopping for clothes and jewelry, she wasn't very interested. But she got very excited going to the haunted house and playing stimulating rides. She even got super into playing games at the arcade!

As a result, by the time they were watching a movie at night, she actually fell asleep in the theater!

Next to them many girls were moved to tears by the romance film while their boyfriends comforted them at their side. Xiao Zimo turned to look at Xiao Han, only to see her snoring away.

Xiao Zimo couldn't help but chuckle softly, reaching out to pinch her face, "Hanhan, movie's over, stop sleeping."

"Huh? I wasn't sleeping, I was watching!" Xiao Han immediately sat up straight, looking towards the screen, then realized the movie had finished.

Xiao Zimo smiled slightly, deliberately teasing her, "Then tell me what happened in the movie today?"

"I..." Xiao Han hesitated, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have slept. But this romance film was just so boring! I really couldn't get through it!"

"What a shame, I was thinking of letting you watch a romance film so you'd rely on me more, looks like I was thinking too much." Xiao Zimo said regretfully.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Han felt sleeping really wasn't right of her. She immediately grabbed Xiao Zimo, leaning in to kiss his cheek, "Xiao Zimo, next time I promise I won't fall asleep!"

"Hmph~" Xiao Zimo chuckled softly, pulling her to stand up and leave the theater.

"I'm taking you somewhere."

"Where?" Xiao Han asked.

"You'll know when you get there."

Xiao Zimo took Xiao Han to a villa complex.

"Why'd you bring me to this complex?" Xiao Han looked left and right, "Are you looking to buy a house?"

Without a word, Xiao Zimo pulled her into the elevator up to the fifth floor.

Not until Xiao Zimo used his fingerprint to unlock the door did Xiao Han seem to react, "This is your home?"

"It's not." Xiao Zimo reached out to press something unknown. The lights in the house turned on.

But the lighting wasn't strong. Mostly ambient lights. The house was also decorated with many flowers and balloons. Even double happiness characters were pasted to the walls.

"Hanhan, this isn't my house, but our house."

Xiao Zimo closed the door, pulling the stunned Xiao Han further into the house.

He suddenly went down on one knee in front of Xiao Han, taking out a ring. Looking up at her, "Hanhan, marry me okay? I want us to have a home."

"You...what are you doing acting so cheesy like this?" Xiao Han's eyes grew red, "My mom finally helped put makeup on me today. If I cry it'll be ruined!"

Xiao Zimo's mouth curled up into a smile, "So does that mean you'll marry me?"

"Didn't I already agree back at your family's? We already bowed to the elders!" Though she said this, Xiao Han still held her hand out.

Xiao Zimo put the ring on her hand, "Yes, we bowed to the elders, but we haven't consummated the marriage yet."

Xiao Han was stunned, deliberately kicking Xiao Zimo, "Xiao Zimo, what are you waiting for me to do?"

Xiao Zimo immediately covered his leg, "Hanhan, my leg was already not well, and you kick me?"

Xiao Han was shocked, immediately squatting down to check on him, "What's wrong with your leg? I saw your leg was normal right? Could there still be issues with your leg? Let me see!"

But Xiao Zimo took the chance to hug her close, rolling over to press her onto the soft white carpet beneath.

Xiao Han was confused by this sudden turn of events. Seeing Xiao Zimo's face so close, plus the somewhat dim, ambiguous mood lighting around them, her heart suddenly sped up.

"Hanhan..." Xiao Zimo called her name softly, his voice coaxing.

"You...Xiao Zimo, I'm telling you, don't get excited now. I...mm..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Zimo sealed her lips.

It seemed different from before, this kiss was obviously with unprecedented desire.

After kissing her for a while, Xiao Zimo finally left her lips, his voice hoarse, accompanied by somewhat heavy breathing, "Hanhan, is it okay? If you don't want to now, I will respect you."

Xiao Han's face was flushed, and she was kissed dizzy, but still worriedly asked, "Can your leg do it?"

She had just finished speaking and immediately felt wrong, and quickly explained, "I mean, is your leg really okay or not?"

Xiao Zimo chuckled lowly, "Whether it can be done or not, you'll know in a bit..."

With Xiao Han's consent, Xiao Zimo also had no more scruples. He leaned down and kissed her lips.

His slender fingers pulled down her halter top, inch by inch...

This belated consummation, he had been waiting for, for a very long time.

The night was somewhat long.

............

The next day, when Xiao Han woke up, her whole body felt out of sorts.

She frowned, cursing inwardly, "Hypocrite, beast!"

She didn't expect that Xiao Zimo, who looked so gentlemanly on the outside, would actually be this kind of person!

She glanced down at herself under the quilt and saw faint redness still on her chest.

She wasn't wearing anything. She got up to find clothes, but the bedroom door was suddenly opened.

Xiao Han saw Xiao Zimo and was startled. She immediately cried out, "Ah ah ah ah!"

She instinctively covered her chest, but felt it was wrong again, so she immediately covered down below instead.

In her fluster, she didn't manage to cover anything in the end.

She then quickly ran back to the bed and hurriedly hid herself under the quilt.

"Xiao Zimo, I'm not done with you!" Xiao Han shouted.

Xiao Zimo couldn't help laughing as he walked over.

"Hanhan, after what we did last night, are you still shy about me seeing you? I've seen every inch of your body. I even clearly saw how many moles you have and where they are."

Xiao Han stuck her head out and glared at him, "Xiao Zimo, you beast!"

"You doubted whether I was capable down there, so I can't let you misunderstand. If I really wasn't capable, then you wouldn't be happy for the next half of your life."

"Alright alright, you are capable, the most capable!"

Xiao Zimo leaned down, looking at her with a faint smile. "Since that's the case, now that you've inspected the goods and are satisfied, let's go get our marriage certificate today."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Han sat up in surprise. "Get certified? What certificate?"

"Of course it's a marriage certificate. I've already given you my heart. Last night I gave you my person as well. Isn't it time to give me a legitimate status, Hanhan?"

"......"

Xiao Han was caught off guard and hadn't reacted at all. She didn't expect that Xiao Zimo would suddenly want to get their marriage certificate.

And last night during their first time, Xiao Zimo had whispered something in her ear to prove his own decades of purity.

"This house was bought by me as our wedding home under your name. Auntie knows about it. I've also given her the appropriate bride price. My savings have also been deposited under your name. From now on, all of my income will be handed over to you."

Xiao Zimo had even taken out Xiao Han's household registration book. "So Auntie has agreed to marry you off to me."

Xiao Han listened in a daze.

"If you don't agree and don't take responsibility, I'll have to tell on you to Auntie." Xiao Zimo said with a smile.

"I didn't say I don't agree. I just feel it's too sudden!" Xiao Han retorted.

"It's not sudden." Xiao Zimo picked her up and carried her towards the bathroom. "I'll take you to wash up and then we'll go get our marriage certificate."

"Hey, I'm not wearing any clothes!" Xiao Han exclaimed.

"You don't need clothes."

"......"

The consequences of not wearing clothes, you can imagine...

Soon, ambiguous sounds emerged from the bathroom, accompanied by Xiao Han's occasional grumbling voice, "Xiao Zimo, you really are a beast..."

"Hanhan, but you like it, don't you?"

"......"

......

Xiao Han really didn't expect that out of the four sisters, she would be the first to get her marriage certificate.

She was confusedly dragged by Xiao Zimo to get their marriage certificate.

Holding the marriage certificate, Xiao Han felt she had been tricked by Xiao Zimo again!

"Xiao Zimo, you really have the face of a gentleman but the heart of a scoundrel!" Xiao Han couldn't help saying.

Xiao Zimo pushed up his glasses and said solemnly, "Wife, you should change how you address me."

"I won't change it. I'll keep calling you Xiao Zimo!" Xiao Han stubbornly refused.

"It's alright..." Xiao Zimo put his arm around her waist gently, "When you're begging for mercy tonight, I'll make you change."

"......"

Xiao Han really couldn't stand it and kicked his leg. "You big pig's trotter!"

"Yes, and it's also your favorite to eat. We'll go home and let you eat your fill."

"......"

Ahhh, Xiao Zimo really is a hypocrite!

......

In the Four Beauties Pavilion group chat.

Xiao Han sent a photo of herself with Xiao Zimo holding their marriage certificate.

Xiao Han: 【Sisters, I've become a married woman. Crying emoji.】
