After a quick greeting, they went straight into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some started chopping vegetables while others washed them, and the kitchen quickly came alive with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Jiaojiao changed into her dress, she listened to the sounds outside and started feeling inexplicably nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently patted her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m already married, yet I’m still this nervous.’ Her heart was pounding, and she couldn’t seem to control it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breakfast was made by Mrs. Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was dough drop soup, and she had even added shredded pork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan had provided the ingredients and asked Mrs. Chen to make it for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Chen knew it was Leng Yuan’s way of thanking everyone for their help, so she didn’t stand on ceremony and made it right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao didn’t come out for breakfast; Chen Ruoyu brought it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「In the room.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao was wearing a red dress and had on beautiful makeup, which made her fair, dewy face look even more exquisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ruoyu had never seen anyone so beautiful; she was nearly stunned silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she snapped out of it, she spoke with a hint of embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiaojiao, you’re so beautiful! Even as a woman, I can’t help but stare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao replied modestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every girl is the most beautiful on her wedding day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ruoyu disagreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d seen many people get married, but none of them were as beautiful as Gu Jiaojiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao was naturally exquisite; she looked beautiful with even the slightest bit of dressing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ruoyu noticed a large red flower on the table.
