214: Chapter 214 Last night, like that...like that...and like that again.

That day, Lin Family Manor was once again decked out in lights and decorations, filled with a festive atmosphere.

Everyone was busy preparing for the wedding.

Red silk draped over the pillars, and lanterns adorned the courtyards.

The entire manor was brimming with joy.

The next day.

Wen Yan wore a bright red bridal gown, sitting upright before the vanity.

The Red Bridal Veil obscured her face, revealing only a small portion of her fair chin.

Even at this moment, she still felt like she was dreaming.

This day... had finally arrived.

She closed her eyes, and countless images flashed through her mind.

That little brat who used to stumble toward her.

That young man who called her "Sister Wen Yan" for the first time.

That figure who was the first to seek her out whenever he encountered problems while trying to Cultivate.

That guy who secretly bought her gifts but claimed they were just "picked up along the way."

And yesterday, that domineering yet tender kiss...

"The auspicious hour has arrived!!!"

The voice of the master of ceremonies echoed from outside.

Wen Yan was helped to her feet.

They bowed to heaven and earth, and the ceremony was complete.

She was escorted to the bridal chamber.

...

In the bridal chamber, candlelight flickered.

Wen Yan sat upright on the edge of the bed, the Red Bridal Veil blocking her view.

She could hear her own heartbeat, thump, thump, thump, beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

Suddenly, the door opened.

That familiar aura walked in.

Her heart beat even faster.

The door closed again.

Footsteps grew closer and closer.

She could feel a burning gaze land on her, and her skin began to heat up.

Then, the Red Bridal Veil was gently lifted.

In the candlelight, that handsome face was inches away.

Wen Yan looked at him infatuatedly, her eyes slightly reddening.

Lin Yun looked at her, too.

This Wen Yan was completely different from her usual self.

There was no coldness, no indifference, only overflowing shyness and anticipation.

He reached out and gently stroked her face.

...

In the master bedroom, the women gathered around a virtual projection, incredibly excited.

Qiao Shiyu and Bai Lulu sat side by side, their faces filled with shyness and a hint of bewilderment.

Although they had already married Lin Yun and were pregnant, seeing such a scene still made their hearts race and their cheeks burn.

Qiao Feifei grabbed their hands, staring unblinkingly at the projection:

"Auntie~ Lulu~ Look! Sister Wen Yan is so beautiful!"

Su Yingxue chuckled from the side:

"Feifei is watching husband in the bridal chamber for the first time, she's doing better than you two~."

Qiao Shiyu blushed and muttered softly:

"I... I am doing fine now too..."

Bai Lulu turned her face away, but the corner of her eye never left the projection.

In the projection, the two slowly leaned in.

They kissed.

Qiao Shiyu and Bai Lulu's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

A unique kind of excitement surged within them.

That night, the lights in the bridal chamber and the master bedroom stayed on until late into the night.

...

The next day at noon.

In the dining room.

The long dining table was filled with exquisite delicacies, the aroma wafting through the air.

Nine figures were already seated and ready.

Their eyes held a hint of mysterious amusement.

They looked toward the dining room entrance from time to time, clearly waiting for something.

Before long, Lin Yun walked in, holding Wen Yan's hand.

Lin Yun was still dashingly heroic, his brows filled with the high spirits of a newlywed.

Wen Yan was wearing a pale green long dress today, her long hair draped down, and a lingering blush still adorned her face.

As soon as the two entered the room, a low burst of laughter echoed in the dining room.

Lin Qianxi spoke up first, smiling teasingly:

"Sister Wen Yan, how was your wedding night last night? Did husband satisfy you?"

Wen Yan's face flushed, her heart racing.

But she quickly forced herself to calm down, striving to maintain her usual demeanor:

"Oh~ it was so-so, just like that, nothing special."

"Just like that?"

Qiao Feifei blinked her bright, sparkling eyes and leaned in, looking disbelieving.

"Sister Wen Yan, you're lying, right? Husband is so great, how could it possibly be just so-so!"

The other women chimed in one after another, wearing mischievous smiles, their teasing intent undisguised in their eyes.

Su Yingxue smiled radiantly, Shen Youqing smiled mysteriously, and Qiao Shiyu and Bai Lulu exchanged glances, their eyes full of playfulness...

They were the ones who had "watched" the whole thing last night; Wen Yan's words were simply self-deception.

Last night was like that... like that... and also like that.

And she called it "just so-so, nothing special"?!

Feeling completely uncomfortable being seen through by everyone, the coldness Wen Yan had been forcing finally cracked.

She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Lin Yun couldn't hold back either; he wrapped his arms around Wen Yan's waist and pulled her into his embrace:

"Just so-so? It seems I went easy on you last night; I won't be so polite tonight."

"You—!"

Wen Yan was both shy and angry, reaching out to push against Lin Yun's chest, trying to break free from his embrace.

"Let go, so many people are watching, what kind of behavior is this!"

"We are all husbands and wives, what is there to be shy about?"

Shen Youqing stood up with a smile.

She leaned in front of Lin Yun.

She stood on tiptoe and gently kissed him on the cheek.

Then she turned to look at Wen Yan, the meaning in her eyes couldn't be more obvious.

Watching this scene, Wen Yan's cheeks turned even redder; she was at a loss, appearing exceptionally awkward.

Seeing this, Su Yingxue also stood up:

"It seems I must set an example for Sister Wen Yan, so she knows that our family doesn't have so many rules."

Saying this, she walked up to Lin Yun and kissed his other cheek, her smile gentle and ambiguous.

With Su Yingxue and Shen Youqing leading the way, the other women also stepped forward one by one.

Each stood on tiptoe and left a gentle kiss on Lin Yun's cheek.

Qiao Shiyu was coquettish.

Bai Lulu was charming.

Zhao Qingyue was gentle.

Wu Qingya was cool.

Chen Yuwei was shy.

Qiao Feifei was cute.

Lin Qianxi was lively.

One kiss after another landed, making Wen Yan's heart race and her cheeks burn.

The last one to kiss Lin Yun was Bai Lulu.

After she finished kissing him, she turned to look at Wen Yan:

"Sister Wen Yan, it's your turn, you can't be an exception."

"You..."

Wen Yan was both shy and angry, her eyes dodging, yet she couldn't help but look at Lin Yun, an inexplicable throbbing rising in the depths of her heart.

Wu Qingya leaned into her ear and lowered her voice:

"Sister Wen Yan, our family tradition is to sleep under the same quilt~"

Su Yingxue chimed in from the side, laughing even more joyfully:

"That's right~ sleeping under the same quilt~"

"Sleeping under the same quilt..."

Wen Yan muttered to herself, her cheeks red enough to smoke, even more shy.

She suddenly remembered.

The wives Lin Yun had married before, it seemed, except for the one night they spent alone on their wedding night.

Afterward, they all accompanied Lin Yun together with the other sisters, gathering in the master bedroom every night to sleep under the same quilt.

Thinking of this, her heartbeat quickened even more, and even her breathing became somewhat rapid.

The entire lunch was spent in the laughter and joy of the women teasing Wen Yan.

If it were in the past, the women would not have dared to tease Wen Yan so unscrupulously.

But ever since they watched the virtual projection last night and witnessed Wen Yan's other side, the women had completely let go.

They were no longer afraid of her, only wanting to tease this newly joined older sister.

Finally making it to the end of lunch, Wen Yan could no longer sit still.

Without waiting for anyone to say anything more, she hurriedly stood up and fled back to her new bridal chamber as if escaping.

She didn't even dare to turn her head back, her panicked appearance causing the women to burst into laughter once again.
