Chapter 268 - The Morning After & The Final Celebration

The morning sun rose softly over the Duke Residence, its golden light slipping through the carved windows and resting gently upon red silk drapes that still decorated every corner.

The air carried the lingering scent of incense, flowers, and celebration.

—

Today—

Was the final day.

The marriage banquet.

—

But before the grand evening—

There was a quieter, more intimate moment to be shared.

—

The Newlyweds Arrive

In the main hall—

The family had already gathered.

The elders sat in their places.

The younger ones stood nearby, whispering and waiting.

—

Then—

The doors opened.

—

Lian Rou entered first.

Dressed neatly.

Composed.

But his ears—

Slightly red.

—

Behind him—

Chen Ruyi followed.

Dressed in softer morning attire.

Her head lowered slightly.

Graceful.

Shy.

—

The moment they stepped inside—

All eyes turned toward them.

—

And silence fell.

—

For exactly one second.

—

Then—

Lian Hua burst out laughing.

—

"Ohhh~ look at them!"
