Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“We’re already engaged, the invitations have been sent out, and all the dresses and accessories are ready.” “And now you’re asking me if I’ll run away?” “I’m just worried that my bride might change her mind!” “Don’t worry, I’m patiently waiting for the divorce to take half of your property!” Liuli replied with a playful smile.

Tang Moxi’s laughter echoed from the other end of the phone.

His little sun was always full of energy!

Liuli, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed, but she forced herself to remain composed.

“That’s true, otherwise I would have run away from this marriage!” “You’re clever, keep it up!” “Always!” Liuli replied proudly.

Just then, a woman’s voice emerged.

Liuli thought she might have misheard, but the next moment, she exploded.

“Are you keeping a mistress behind my back?” “Are you sure?” Tang Moxi countered with a playful smile.

“Or don’t tell me that voice is from the TV!” Liuli said, anger seeping into her voice.

“Feeling jealous?” Tang Moxi’s tone remained light.

“After we re married, I’ll divorce you and take half of your property. Then I’ll find an even more handsome, young, and gentle pretty boy, to annoy you!” “That is a great idea, girl!” “It is My assistant He who just delivered the coffee. You two met, remember?” “Want to speak with her?” Tang Moxi explained with a smile.

“Oh, no need to stay up so late, are you two still together?” Liuli was taken aback. It took her a few moments to realize what was happening. She responded with embarrassment.

Assistant He was the capable and beautiful woman who had given her a ride from school.

Wait a minute, what were they doing alone in a room at this hour?

“I’m still at the office!” Tang Moxi replied.

“Oh, okay, you’ve worked hard.” “Maybe you can come and work overtime with me?” “No, no, I just want to sleep. I’m so sleepy!” “I’m going to bed, you can continue working overtime.” “Goodnight!” Liuli said and hung up.

It was already very late at night, and nobody was working overtime with him!

Liuli turned off the light and settled down. However, she couldn’t resist grabbing her phone and sending a message to Mr. Tang.

“Uncle, working overtime to earn money is important, but health is even more important. By the way, I don’t want a tired groom on our wedding day!” “Don’t worry, we’re a perfect match!” Tang Moxi replied.

Liuli smiled upon seeing the message.

She really wanted to send a message to Mr. Tang…

“Mr. Tang, have you loved me since the day I was born?”

Eventually, Liuli drifted off to sleep.

Later, Tang Moxi sent her a message…

Goodnight, girl. Sweet dreams. I’ll be in your dream!

She fell asleep without reading his message.

Liuli didn’t read the message until the next morning when she woke up.

As she read the message, she couldn’t help but mutter to herself.

“Damn, what kind of dream was that? It was just a nightmare!”

In her dream, Mr. Tang had a mistress, so she went on a chase, armed with a pea gun, to confront him and his mistress.

However, in the end, she was chased away by Third Sister’s gun.

Sigh, she had been running all night and didn’t even have time to sleep!

Liuli got up and found herself busy once again.

She started packing the things she needed to bring to the Tang family.

The wedding was the next day, and there were still other tasks to complete.

Liuli was incredibly busy.

She realized that getting married wasn’t an easy task.

That was her biggest realization.

She was grateful that she would only get married once in her life; otherwise, she would have been overwhelmed.

But soon, Liuli felt like crying once more.

Maybe she would end up getting married more than once!

Oh well, she could just spend the rest of her life with Mr. Tang instead!

That way, they wouldn’t need a second wedding.

But eventually, she realized she had been overthinking everything.

They weren’t even married yet, and she was already thinking about divorce? That was a commitment meant to last a lifetime.

During their break, Liuli sent a message to Mr. Tang.

“Are you busy, Uncle?”

She had intended to vent her frustrations to Mr. Tang, but her busy mind prevented her from thinking clearly.

However, she received no response.

Well, she shouldn’t have expected Mr. Tang to have time to reply to her anyway.

He was always occupied, especially at this moment!

While contemplating this, Liuli’s phone chimed with a new message.

She glanced at it and saw that it was a reply from Mr. Tang.

When she opened the message, there was only one word…

“Busy!”

Liuli rolled her eyes. It would have been better if he hadn’t replied at all!

A little while later, another message came through.

It contained only a single”?!” “Nothing, just checking in on the busy man!” Liuli replied.

Just then, Tang Moxi called.

“Uncle…” Liuli answered the phone weakly.

“Are you feeling bored?” Tang Moxi asked, his voice carrying a smile.

“I’m so bored!” She let out a sigh of weariness.

“Why don’t you come and keep me company?” he suggested.

“Oh no, my mom said that we can’t meet on the day before the wedding!” “That is a tradition?” Tang Moxi asked with a smile.

“Yeah, my mom said I’m not allowed to go out either!” Her mom believed that on the day before the wedding, the couple should refrain from meeting each other, so they could age together gracefully.

But Liuli didn’t put much faith in that tradition either.

Perhaps in two years, she and Mr. Tang would be divorced and facing old age alone.

However, she had to abide by her mother’s instructions.

“Then I’ll stay at home and wait to become a beautiful bride tomorrow!” Tang Moxi smiled.

“Haha, 1 was born beautiful, and I’ll be stunning no matter what!” Liuli replied with a touch of arrogance.

“Alright, you win!” “Uncle, do you miss me? Is that why you want me to visit?” Liuli playfully asked.

“Yeah, are you coming to see me?” Tang Moxi teased.

“Didn’t you just say we’re not allowed to meet on the day before the wedding?” “1 forgot!” “Uncle, you’re so forgetful even before getting old. You’re aging prematurely!” “Yes, 1 haven’t eaten anything today, and I’m famished!” “Huh? Why not?” Liuli asked, confused.

“No appetite! No braised pork!” “Go and have some of my braised pork then. The man won’t mind!” “I was actually thinking about your braised pork. Will you make it for me?” “Okay, let me see. If I can sneak out of the room, I’ll cook it for you!” Liuli compromised.

“I’m just joking with you! Girl, just stay at home. I want to spend the rest of my life with you!” Tang Moxi laughed.

“Haha, so you know about it too, Uncle? Then why did you ask me earlier?” “I didn’t think anyone would believe that now,” Tang Moxi answered, half-jokingly.

“My mother does! Uncle, are you at home or at the office?” Liuli asked.

“I’m at the apartment! I just got back!” “Well, go to bed then. I’ll call you later!” “Okay, don’t go out unless you need something. I’ll pick you up tomorrow!” “Alright,” Liuli replied.

However, she was already contemplating how to sneak out of the house.

There were many relatives downstairs, including his parents and Grandma. She had to find a way to slip out through the back door.

But she also couldn’t risk her mom catching her, or she would be in trouble.

In the end, Liuli came up with a perfect solution.

She went downstairs and quietly took a portion of meat from the kitchen, along with the specially-made red braised pork sauce her Grandma had prepared.

Carefully, she placed them in her bag and made sure it was well hidden.

Then she returned downstairs and told her mom weakly, “Mom, I’m feeling so sleepy. 1 need to rest. Please don’t wake me up for dinner, I’ll eat later by myself.”

Her mom felt her forehead to make sure she wasn’t running a fever or feeling unwell. Satisfied, she agreed and told her to take a nap.

Knowing that she would have an early morning the next day and that there were still many tasks to handle for the wedding, her mom didn’t mind and didn’t fuss over her like before.

Liuli hadn’t expected her mom to agree so quickly. She had anticipated a lecture about laziness instead.

At that moment, a wave of guilt washed over Liuli.

She hoped her mom wouldn’t notice that she had sneaked out. She promised herself she would be back within two hours.

Returning to her room, Liuli grabbed the bag, changed into lighter clothes, and proceeded to exit cautiously, making sure to lock the door behind her.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, she slipped out through the back door.

As she reached the wall of her backyard, Liuli couldn’t help but shed tears.

It had been a while since she last climbed trees, and now this skill came in handy.

During the climb, she even slipped once, realizing that her crawling and climbing skills had grown rusty from disuse.

Rubbing her hands to relieve the sting, Liuli persevered and successfully reached the top of the wall.

Scaling over it, she hurriedly made her way away from home.

Yes, she was just going out to check on Mr. Tang.

After running for a while and finally getting a ride, Liuli headed straight to Mr. Tang’s apartment.

“Stay strong, Uncle. I’ll make you red braised pork,” she whispered to herself.

She hadn’t anticipated that her red braised pork would become so popular.

Finally arriving at Mr. Tang’s apartment, Liuli pressed the doorbell.

“No one’s here,” she mumbled, feeling a sense of disappointment.

She pressed the button again.

Still, no one opened the door.

Liuli had no choice but to give Mr. Tang a call.

“Uncle, open the door!” she shouted the moment the call connected.

“Open the door?” Tang Moxi was startled.

“Open the door, I’m downstairs!”

After a while, the door was opened.

Liuli entered the building and took the elevator upstairs.

When the elevator door opened, she found Mr. Tang standing at the doorstep in his pajamas, waiting for her.

“What are you doing here?” Tang Moxi asked, puzzled, as he looked at her.

“I’m here to cook red braised pork for you!” Liuli answered with a smile, confidently walking out of the elevator.

“Girl, I was just joking with you,” Tang Moxi said, unsure whether to laugh or sigh.

“No, I’m serious. I even brought the ingredients,” Liuli replied proudly, patting her bag.

She entered Mr. Tang’s apartment and made her way into the living room. But as she stepped in, she heard a voice from inside.

“Where is my luggage?”

Liuli’s gaze shot up towards Tang Moxi’s bedroom, feeling as though she had been struck by lightning. A young woman with long hair, wearing a bathrobe and with wet hair, emerged from Tang Moxi’s bedroom..
