When he said that, Ye Qianqian felt an even stronger urge to voice her grouses. “You have no idea how hard it was for me to bear with that pile of gold. It was so heavy I almost…”

She nearly blurted out “died.”

But she reminded herself that today was supposed to be a day of great happiness. She shouldn’t be sulking, whining, or uttering inauspicious words.

She stopped herself and changed her tone, muttering coyly, “It’s so heavy I got a kick out of it!”

Shen Zhilie paused for a while, then he burst out laughing.

Ye Qianqian reached out and poked him in the chest. “What are you laughing at? Marrying you is such a hassle. My sister, on the other hand, wasn’t fussed over this much when she wedded!”

Shen Zhilie held her hand in his, slightly breathless from laughing.

His other hand was not left idle. He undid the necklaces hanging around her neck.

There were three necklaces in all, each one thicker than the last.

There were also numerous bracelets and bangles to tackle.

Shen Zhilie removed them one by one and placed them all on the bedside table.

He counted more than a dozen bracelets.

Shen Zhilie sympathized with her, yet at the same time felt her predicament comical.

After putting everything away, he finally said, “It must have been a hard day for you.”

All the weighty items on Ye Qianqian’s whole body were finally unloaded. She slumped onto the bed and proclaimed, “I’m drained!”

“Well,” Shen Zhilie said, unbuttoning her dress, “this is the first and the last time. Let’s go for a wedding gown for the ceremony in Kingstown.”

“No, no more. I’m exhausted.”

Ye Qianqian let him unbutton her clothes. All of a sudden, she recalled what she thought of this morning.

She narrowed her eyes and teased, “Honey, guess how many layers of clothing I’m wearing.”

“I have no idea,” Shen Zhilie replied as he continued undoing the buttons. “I’ll know when I’ve taken them all off.”

Ye Qianqian thought so, too. She didn’t care anymore and closed her eyes.

She fell asleep in no time.
