The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 812 - 780: Really Three (2)_2

Old Master Xiao, as a grandfather, was evidently very excited and joyful.

After the laughter, Old Master Xiao became emotional: "Ah, in my memory, you were just born. So tiny, so soft; I was even afraid to hold you. And now, in the blink of an eye, you’ve grown so big and are even about to get married and soon have children of your own. Your grandmother was worried about you until her last moments, but now, she can rest easy watching over you from heaven."

"Grandpa." Xiao Muli looked at his grandfather being so emotional and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to say to comfort him.

"It’s alright, look at me, talking about these unnecessary things on such a joyous day. Alright, alright, your groomsmen will arrive soon, and when it’s time, we’ll set off to pick up the bride." In a blink, Xiao Muli was back to his usual cheerful self as if he hadn’t been the one who made those emotional remarks.

Xiao Muli’s groomsmen were also from the same compound. Although they were not as close as Yu Qihao’s relationship with him, they still got along well. As for Yu Qihao, Xiao Muli wouldn’t foolishly ask him to be a groomsman.

After the engagement party, Xiao Muli once mentioned Yu Qihao during a call with Situ Jin. He said that Yu Qihao had attended his engagement with Situ Xin. Since returning from that event, Yu Qihao seemed a bit down. Situ Jin saw this several times and wanted to comfort him but didn’t know how to start.

Regarding this, Xiao Muli felt sorry, but there was nothing else he could do. He wouldn’t give up Situ Xin for the sake of their brotherhood. He thought that perhaps, with time, Yu Qihao would let go of his feelings for Situ Xin.

However, this was just what Xiao Muli hoped for in his heart; he knew how unlikely that was.

Once the groomsmen and the wedding company’s staff arrived, they could set off to collect the bride. The Xiao Family and the Situ Family lived in the same large compound, quite close to each other; just a few steps away. But during the bride collection, a wedding car was necessary. For such a short distance, the car would simply have to leave the compound, circle around, and then head to the Situ Family.

At Situ Xin’s place, since today was officially the day Situ Xin was leaving her family home, the women of the house were accompanying her in her room. Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo were especially emotional, holding Situ Xin’s hands, their eyes red from unshed tears.

Luckily, because Situ Xin was marrying within the same compound, just a few steps away, her family members would definitely not agree if she were to marry someone far away, or they would instead have the groom move in with them.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Situ Xin heard someone shouting outside, "The groom is here." Then, she heard hasty footsteps. She knew that her bridesmaids and her brothers were preparing to make things difficult for the arriving groom.

Recalling how she had overheard her bridesmaids and her brothers planning earlier, and watching them hiding her wedding shoes in the room in a frenzy, she couldn’t help but laugh.

In Situ Xin’s opinion, they were underestimating Xiao Muli. Those little tricks were nothing in front of him.

Sure enough, barely five minutes later, Xiao Muli appeared in Situ Xin’s room with his groomsmen.

As Xiao Muli walked in and saw Situ Xin in her wedding dress, sitting on the bed and giving him a sweet smile, his heart involuntarily began to beat faster. He quickened his pace, walked up to her, knelt on one knee, and affectionately called out, "Wife," then handed her the bouquet he was holding.

"Oh." The bridesmaids and groomsmen, because of Xiao Muli’s affectionate call, couldn’t help but tease. Meanwhile, Loo Yu, who has always been particularly fond of his sister Situ Xin, was not pleased with Xiao Muli, who was about to marry her. He snorted lightly and said, "Don’t be so quick to call her that; you haven’t even found her wedding shoes yet. If you can’t find them today, my sister won’t marry you."

The hidden place for the wedding shoes was something Loo Yu had thought of long ago, confident that Xiao Muli wouldn’t be able to find them.

Clearly, little Loo Yu didn’t quite understand his future brother-in-law yet. Xiao Muli was not at all flustered by Loo Yu’s words; he kissed Situ Xin on the corner of her mouth, stood up, dusted off his clothes, then turned and smiled at little Loo Yu before diving into the search for the wedding shoes. Originally, Xiao Muli’s groomsmen were prepared to help, but Xiao Muli stopped them. He wanted to find Situ Xin’s wedding shoes himself.

After briefly scanning the room, Xiao Muli immediately had an idea of where the wedding shoes might be hidden. He methodically searched each spot and soon found the shoes that Loo Yu thought he would never locate.

Little Loo Yu, seeing Xiao Muli holding the wedding shoes, puffed up his cheeks in annoyance. Just as Xiao Muli was about to place the shoes on Situ Xin’s feet, Loo Yu rushed up, hugged Situ Xin, and pleaded in a muffled voice, "Sister, Xiao Yu doesn’t want you to get married, Xiao Yu wants you to stay at home with him."

"Xiao Yu, even if your sister marries me, she will still be your sister and will still spend time with you," Xiao Muli said, finding Loo Yu clinging to his wife a bit annoying yet feeling helpless, he still spoke to reassure him.

"Really? Even if my sister marries you, will she still play with me?" Little Loo Yu was no naive child; he was simply bargaining for his own benefit.

"Yes," Xiao Muli affirmed with a nod.

With that confirmation, little Loo Yu finally let go of Situ Xin, allowing Xiao Muli to put the wedding shoes on her.
