After Transmigration, The Male Lead and I had a HE

Side Story 2 (2)

He stared at her pretending to be calm, and his gaze grew even darker. Then, in a deliberate manner, he whispered in her ear, “Since we’ve already had the toast, according to the process… does that mean it’s time to enter the bridal chamber?”

She widened her eyes slightly and clenched her hands. Caught in such an atmosphere, she didn’t know how to answer. Just then, the phone on the coffee table rang.

Xie Xinglin’s expression gradually darkened as the unexpected phone call seemed to annoy him. He lowered his head to answer the call, and the person on the other end couldn’t perceive his mood but sounded very excited, “Xing ge, I heard you and Xiao Qiu went to the villa at Yao Yue Bay. We came specially to congratulate you on your new home!!”

“By the way, let us, who haven’t seen the world, have a tour too!!”

Xie Xinglin seemed amused by his words and glanced at the clock. It was half-past nine in the evening.

He raised an eyebrow, expressionless, and said to the person on the phone, “Go back where you came from.”

Han Ming, still jovial, replied, “Oh, we’re already at the door. Are you really willing to let us go back? Besides, we haven’t seen your house here, so let us have a look!”

Xie Xinglin slightly curved his lips, and his whole demeanor became cold and imposing. “Alright then, come in.” He even emphasized his tone, “Feel free to explore.”

Even Su Qiuge couldn’t help but shudder while silently praying for those people on the other end.

To their surprise, Han Ming wasn’t alone. He was accompanied by Wen Mingming, and even Su Yuanzhou and Gao Jing were there. The combination of these four people looked rather strange.

Su Yuanzhou explained by rubbing his nose, “Gao Jing and I came here to have fun, and we came to see how my sister is doing.”

Gao Jing trembled all over under Xie Xinglin’s cold gaze and even felt like his life was in danger at any moment. Xie Xinglin’s gaze had become increasingly terrifying over the years, to the point where it could kill without leaving a trace. They had originally planned to go out for drinks and have fun. But because of Han Ming’s malicious phone call, Su Yuanzhou had overturned all the joyful plans for the evening.

Gao Jing pretended to remain calm on the surface, but in his heart, he thought, “Why does Su Yuanzhou always have so many damn troubles? Isn’t it better to live happily and peacefully, without causing any trouble with someone like Xie Xinglin?”

Clearly, Han Ming wanted to cause a commotion in the bridal chamber. He probably wanted to disrupt the intimate time between the newlyweds tonight, and he intentionally dragged Su Yuanzhou, who was an uncertain factor, into it. After all, with so many people present, even if Xie Xinglin was unhappy, he had no other choice but to endure it.

Su Yuanzhou, on the other hand, didn’t mind causing a commotion at all. He was already somewhat displeased with Xie Xinglin and was eager to see Su Qiuge, so he didn’t care whether he was disrupting their happy married life or not. He didn’t feel guilty at all about it, as Xie Xinglin had been monopolizing Su Qiuge since he returned. Even meeting her once was more difficult than climbing a mountain. It was infuriating. Why should he have the right to do so?

As for Wen Mingming, she had the simplest intentions. Her best friend from high school had gotten married and moved, so she had prepared a big red envelope with the money she had earned from her part-time job to give as a gift. Originally, she had planned to visit tomorrow, but thanks to Han Ming acting as a catalyst, she was now excited to visit right away.

Each person present had their own thoughts, but they maintained a friendly demeanor. They handed over red envelopes and gifts, shook hands with Xie Xinglin despite his dripping-with-anger gaze, and casually praised the size of the house, complimenting Xie Xinglin with words like “amazing” and “impressive.”

And to everyone’s surprise, Han Ming had brought a hotpot with him. “It’s winter, so let’s have some hotpot for supper, along with beer. It’s the pinnacle of life when we gather together and chat!”

“Absolutely, it’s been so long since we were all together. Let’s catch up!”

“Qiu Qiu, let me tell you, there have been tremendous changes in Nanli City over the years, you have no idea. I’ll fill you in later.”

Seeing their enthusiastic and energized state, Su Qiuge couldn’t help but find it amusing for some reason. She said, “By the way, there happens to be a bottle of newly opened red wine here. I’ll go check if there’s any cold beer at the bar.”

As Su Qiuge went to get the drinks, she felt someone following her. When she reached up to the top of the fridge to get the beer, the person behind her couldn’t resist getting closer and helped her retrieve the upper-level beers. His embrace was warm, contrasting with the cold air coming from the refrigerator.

Although he had originally reached for the wine, he didn’t let go of her and instead pulled her into his arms, burying his head in her shoulder. He even spoke with a hint of grievance, “We haven’t finished our toast just now…”

She had seen this act of his pretending to be pitiful countless times before, and even though she knew he was doing it on purpose, it was still difficult to resist. She gently swayed in his arms and said, “Alright… Let go quickly, don’t let them see.”

Upon hearing her words, he held her even tighter and whispered in her ear, “What does it matter if they see? They’re the ones who came.” As she felt the warmth from the person behind her, she could only console him in a low voice, “We’ll send them away later… It’ll be alright.”
