Chapter 91: Wanting to Love Him Better

"That's right! Hurry up and go in!"

Zi Han cheered Bai Xu on, and didn't forget to push him into the room.

Anyway, she was fine, standing beside Liuli just waiting for a good show.

As soon as Bai Xu arrived, Mrs. Su and Mr. Su's expressions turned solemn.

Bai Xu, seeing them, stood up even straighter out of fear.

"Uncle, Auntie, hello!"

Bai Xu deeply bowed to Mrs. Su and Mr. Su.

This manner frightened Zi Han, Yu Ke, and Liuli.

He was so nervous he didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Su and Mr. Su ignored him, and Bai Xu embarrassedly looked at Yu Ke, not knowing what to do.

"Wasn't this what you wanted to see? Now that you've seen it, isn't it fine?"

Yu Ke asked, having just met Bai Xu like this—can the bride meet beforehand?

"It's none of your business." Mrs. Su said, then looked at Bai Xu with a puzzled expression.

"Child, how did you end up liking our Yu Ke?"

Mrs. Su's tone was full of doubt, and Bai Xu felt as if she were saying he looked down on Yu Ke.

"I..."

Bai Xu also didn't know what to say.

"Mom? What do you mean? How come you sound like I'm not good enough for him?"

Yu Ke countered, and as soon as Mrs. Su said that, Yu Ke understood what she meant.

The mother and daughter were just like Yu Ke and Zi Han—if they didn't argue with each other for a day, they'd feel uncomfortable.

"Auntie didn't mean that; don't overthink it."

Bai Xu said to Yu Ke.

"Then what do you mean?"

Yu Ke started questioning Bai Xu again.

"There's really no meaning to it."

Bai Xu's language system had collapsed; he didn't know which sentence to say.

"What I said is exactly what you understood, child—what's your name?"

After Mrs. Su answered Yu Ke, she then asked Bai Xu.

Yu Ke was confused—were Zi Han and Bai Xu her biological children, or was she Su Yu Ke?

"Auntie, my name is Bai Xu."

"Bai Xu, I quite like this surname; the child can take this surname in the future."

Hearing Mrs. Su mention the child, Yu Ke seemed satisfied with Bai Xu as her son-in-law.

Before meeting them, she had been worried, worried that Bai Xu wouldn't pass her parents' test.

Mr. Su was fine; it was Mrs. Su who was more particular.

Without a suitable match, how could she marry her daughter off?

"Child, what does your family do? Did your parents come today?"

As expected, not surprising Yu Ke, she now started checking the household registration.

Upon hearing Mrs. Su ask about Bai Xu's parents, she remembered that she had forgotten to tell Mrs. Su not to mention Bai Xu's parents.

Otherwise Bai Xu's mood would worsen; if she were an orphan, she might not be as optimistic and cheerful as Bai Xu is now.

When she saw Bai Xu, he gave off a sunny feeling; she thought he must have grown up in a loving, happy family.

So later, when she learned Bai Xu was an orphan, she found it hard to believe.

She also felt sympathy for Bai Xu, and wanted even more to love him well.

Although she hadn't experienced his experiences, she also wanted to learn, to learn anything about him.

"Mom, the wedding is about to start!"

Yu Ke interrupted, and Liuli and Zi Han both knew why Yu Ke was interrupting.

"Sigh, you child, let me ask what's wrong."

Seeing Yu Ke not wanting Bai Xu to answer, Mrs. Su felt even more that she was hiding something.

Could it be that she's marrying a poor boy?

But she wasn't that heartless; naturally it's best to let her daughter marry someone of equal standing.

But if Yu Ke truly took a liking to someone with no family background, as long as she liked him and the guy treated her well, it wouldn't be unacceptable.

Most important is her happiness; money doesn't matter, after all the Su family has enough money for Yu Ke to spend.

But she's afraid that Yu Ke will be deceived, just because they're after her family's money.

Seeing Yu Ke's reaction, Mr. Su also felt something was up and became curious about what Bai Xu does.

"I opened a bar myself; I'm an orphan, with no parents."

Although Bai Xu didn't like mentioning that he was an orphan, he still said it.

Mrs. Su and Mr. Su initially thought Yu Ke objected to running a bar as improper, but then realized it was because Bai Xu is an orphan.

"Opening a bar is great! And you opened it yourself—you're so young; since Yu Ke wants to marry you, we'll be your parents from now on."

Mrs. Su smiled kindly at Bai Xu, and gave Mr. Su a meaningful look.

"Child, from now on treat the Su family as your own home, and regard us as your family."

Mr. Su spoke up, saying he would say that even without Mrs. Su's reminder.

Yu Ke also found their answers fairly satisfactory; saying this, Bai Xu wouldn't feel alone.

Yu Ke really didn't know how Bai Xu had managed alone for so many years; she just felt very sorry for him.

She also felt sorry for Liuli, but Liuli also had her grandmother beside her, and now she had Gu Die as well.

But Bai Xu had always been alone; she wondered why she hadn't met him earlier, so she could have married him sooner.

We are all your family!

Yu Ke said to Bai Xu, and also pulled Zi Han and Liuli over.

Exactly! We've said it before, we're all your family!

Zi Han also said.

Bai Xu only felt his eye sockets a little moist; today he's getting married, he should be happy.

Before meeting Gu Die, he didn't know where to go or what to do when he was alone.

He had no direction at all, drifting through each day in a daze; it was Gu Die who helped him regain hope for life.

He felt fortunate to have a brother like Gu Die, and also fortunate to have met Yu Ke.

He had also met Zi Han, Cheng Li, and Liuli.

Miss, the wedding is about to start.

A girl walked in and said, the makeup artist also followed her in.

Miss, I'll touch up your makeup again.

Okay.

Yu Ke obediently sat down.

Today she wants to be an exquisite bride.

Come, Liuli, I'll also touch up your makeup.

Zi Han pulled Liuli to sit down.

I don't need it; what would I touch up?

Liuli came today to be a bridesmaid and even agreed to let Zi Han do her makeup; she normally doesn't wear makeup, but she wanted to be Yu Ke's bridesmaid and couldn't let her lose face.

Didn't we say we couldn't let Yu Ke lose face?

Zi Han retorted.

But my makeup isn't smudged!

Yu Ke's makeup isn't smudged either; touching up a bit would look even better!

Liuli also doesn't really understand makeup, always feeling that Zi Han is coaxing her.

But to give Yu Ke face, it's better to listen to Zi Han.

Alright, alright.

Liuli then let Zi Han touch up her makeup.

That's about right!

Liuli, I didn't even notice, you wore makeup today.

Yu Ke wondered, she had never seen Liuli wear makeup before.

Look at your face, it's just because I came to be your bridesmaid that I put on makeup.

Zi Han replied.

Really? Is my face really that big?

Yu Ke asked happily.

Exactly! You can't tell, I also wore makeup?

Zi Han retorted.

Oh, you also wore makeup? Whether you do or not doesn't matter; the important thing is that Liuli actually wore makeup to attend my wedding!

Yu Ke was so happy she felt like she could fly; Mrs. Su and Mr. Su didn't know why she was happy.

Bai Xu and Yu Ke also didn't know, and even Liuli didn't know what there was to be happy about.

Su Yu Ke, considering it's your wedding today, I won't argue with you.

Zi Han said discontentedly.

Oh my, my face is huge today; getting married is so great!

Mrs. Su and Mr. Su looked at Yu Ke as if she were intellectually disabled.

Old man, we haven't changed clothes yet; shouldn't we go on stage later?

Mrs. Su realized they had just gotten out of the car and hadn't had time to change clothes.

That's right, we need to go change clothes first!

Mr. Su also said anxiously.

Dress nicely! Don't embarrass me!

Yu Ke didn't forget to instruct.

As long as we don't mind you embarrassing us, what else do you have to complain about?

Mrs. Su replied.

Seeing Mrs. Su and Mr. Su go change clothes, plus Yu Ke and them touching up their makeup, the wedding was about to start, and Bai Xu became even more nervous.

You're about to go on stage soon; why did you run into the bride's room?

Cheng Li searched for a while and couldn't find Bai Xu's trace; after asking the Su family's servant, he learned Bai Xu was here.

So soon, I'm not ready yet.

Bai Xu quietly said to Cheng Li.

Cheng Li and Gu Die are today Bai Xu's groomsmen, and only Bai Xu could get Gu Die to come as a groomsman.

Anyone else, Gu Die would never do that.

"Come out now, I'll hold onto the ring for you; we'll need it soon."

Bai Xu was puzzled, how did the ring get to Cheng Li? He hadn't handed it to Gu Die, so where did Gu Die go just now?

"Come out."

Just as Bai Xu was thinking that, Gu Die arrived outside the door.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Xu asked.

"It's your turn to go out, isn't it? Or are you planning to go out with the bride? Yu Ke wants Madam Su and Old Master Su to lead the way out."

Cheng Li replied.

"Oh, is that so?"

Everything Bai Xu had been thinking about earlier is now completely forgotten; he doesn't even know what he should do.

"Of course, did you forget to bring your brain today?"

Cheng Li complained.

Although Gu Die doesn't much like Cheng Li because of his close relationship with Liuli, he actually agrees with Cheng Li's comment that Bai Xu didn't bring his brain today.

"My mind is all foggy right now; it's no different from not having brought it."

At least Bai Xu is somewhat self-aware about that.

"Cheng Li! You're here!"

After Zihan finished touching up Liuli's makeup, seeing Cheng Li and the others, she shouted.

Cheng Li didn't even want to bother with her—had she only just noticed him? When she had just come over to call Bai Xu, he had been right beside her.

"What's wrong, you're unhappy first thing in the morning?"

Seeing Cheng Li not answer, Zihan ran up to his side and asked.

"I'm happy, how could I not be happy seeing you?"

"But why aren't you smiling?"

"Do I have to smile to prove I'm happy?"

"Exactly, smiling means you're happy."

"Then I don't want to smile."

"Then you're just not happy!"

"You two, go somewhere else to chat! We don't want to listen."

Yu Ke shouted.
