Capítulo 31: You're My Woman
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Liuli, breathe!" Tang Moxi reminded with a smile.
"What?" Liuli suddenly looked up at Tang Moxi.
"Breathe. I don't want you to faint after I put on the ring," Tang Moxi replied as he stared at her.
Liuli's face burned, but she couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not that exaggerated!"
Tang Moxi reached out and caressed the corner of Liuli's lips.
Liuli was stunned and stared at Tang Moxi in a daze.
She watched as his handsome face drew closer until it was pressed against hers.
"Liuli…"
Her father's voice immediately pulled Liuli back to her senses.
Almost at the same time, Tang Moxi moved away from her, but his hand was still holding hers as he turned to look at the door.
"Um… Your mother is looking for you!" Yu Zhiyuan said awkwardly.
He didn't expect to see this scene when he went upstairs. He seemed to have ruined the intimate moment between his daughter and son-in-law!
"Oh!" Unable to hide the embarrassment on her face, Liuli quickly stood up.
Tang Moxi was still holding her hand.
Liuli turned to look at Tang Moxi with a flushed face.
Tang Moxi finally let go.
Liuli immediately jumped up and walked towards the door with her head lowered.
She didn't have the courage to look at her father.
She felt like she was caught doing something shady.
"Dad…" Tang Moxi called out.
After the engagement today, Tang Moxi officially changed the way he addressed them.
Yu Zhiyuan still wasn't used to it.
However, he still braced herself. After he walked into the house, he tried to find something to talk about.
"Liuli's mother is looking for her for something!"
"Okay, Dad, please sit!" Tang Moxi replied.
The two men drank tea as they chatted.
They chatted about the same girl.
Liuli went upstairs to look for her mother.
Her mother wanted to tell her about the engagement party for tonight.
After the Yu family prepared a gift, Tang Moxi and the others returned to the Tang family's home.
He would come back later to bring Liuli and the Yu family to the restaurant.
Liuli's mother had instructed her that after she married into the Tang family in the future,
she couldn't be as willful as she was at home.
She had to wake up early in the morning to show filial piety to Elder Tang and build a good relationship with her two sisters-in-law.
Only then did Liuli remember that Tang Moxi had two sisters!
"Mother, have you seen Brother Moxi's two sisters before?" Liuli asked curiously.
"I've seen them a few times a few years ago, but I don't think I'll be able to recognize them anymore," Lin Yu replied.
"I wonder if they're easy to get along with?" Liuli muttered.
Her two sisters-in-law would return to the country to attend her and Tang Moxi's wedding.
Because she had never seen them before, Liuli was a little curious.
"You have to be respectful to everyone!"
"Okay!" Liuli replied.
She couldn't understand her mother's words at the moment, but she decided to remember them first.
Then, she told Liuli some things to pay attention to at night.
Liuli could only nod repeatedly.
The engagement was already so troublesome, so the wedding must be even more complicated.
Fortunately, she didn't have to do anything during the engagement party tonight.
She would just stand beside Tang Moxi and follow him wherever he went. Then, she would maintain a smile at all times.
Her parents officially introduced Tang Moxi to their relatives and friends.
Only then did Liuli realize that she had so many relatives!
After meeting her relatives, she could finally return to her seat to eat.
Because her mother had instructed her to be polite and follow the rules at night,
she could only pick up the food in front of her. She didn't even dare to turn the wheel, for fear that her mother would say that she was rude.
At this moment, a pair of chopsticks picked up the food and placed it in her bowl.
Liuli turned around and was about to thank her father when she swallowed her words.
The person sitting beside her was Tang Moxi. She was so hungry that she actually forgot about it.
She thought that it was just like at home. When she sat beside her father, it was always him who picked up food for her, peeled shrimp shells for her, and picked out fish bones for her!
Tang Moxi nodded.
Next, Tang Moxi helped put food on her plate, while she was only in charge of eating.
It was time for the toast.
She stood beside Tang Moxi with fruit juice.
Tang Moxi held a wine glass as he toasted them one by one.
Liuli only took a sip, but Tang Moxi finished half a glass of fruit juice every time he toasted.
Liuli couldn't help but feel a little speechless. Wouldn't he feel bloated if he drank it like this?
The women admired Tang Moxi's magnanimity and praised him in front of Liuli's parents.
While the table was rotating, Liuli tugged at Tang Moxi's sleeve and asked in a low voice,
"Aren't you full from drinking so much juice?"
Tang Moxi glanced at Liuli with a smile and leaned his wine glass closer to Liuli to let her smell it. Then, he asked with a low smile,
"What juice is it?"
Liuli's eyes widened as she looked at Tang Moxi in shock.
He actually drank red wine, and half a glass at a time!
A thought immediately appeared in Liuli's mind.
If he got drunk, she wouldn't be able to help bring him back!
After a round of toasts, they could finally return to their seats.
Tang Moxi wiped his mouth with a napkin while Liuli looked at him with concern.
After drinking so much, Uncle Tang didn't show the slightest discomfort.
Tang Moxi turned to Liuli and smiled reassuringly.
He grabbed her hand under the table.
Only then did Liuli heave a sigh of relief and her expression turned into one of admiration…
Uncle Tang held his liquor so well!
In the future, if she wanted to drink, she could bring Uncle Tang out.
After a while, Tang Moxi lowered his head and said to Liuli, he asked her to greet the guests while he went to the washroom.
Liuli nodded and watched as Uncle Tang left his seat.
The next second, she wondered how she should greet the guests.
They could only let the family eat and drink.
But now, everyone was almost done eating!
At this moment, she heard her aunt say,
"Liuli is lucky.
She found such a good husband at such a young age."
"That's right. Moxi is a promising child!" Someone immediately echoed.
"You guys are such sweet talkers.
"Liuli is young and still has a lot to learn," Lin Yu replied humbly.
Liuli nodded with a smile.
However, she thought to herself, how could she be lucky to get married so early?!
She was clearly being forced to do so!
But speaking of Uncle Tang, it was true that she was lucky to marry him.
He was also being forced to marry her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married someone like her!
At this thought, Liuli realized that Uncle Tang wasn't back yet.
Hence, after smiling at her relatives, she turned around and whispered to her mother,
"Mom, I'm going to the washroom!"
"Go, but don't delay things for too long!" Lin Yu instructed.
"Got it!"
After Liuli walked out of the private room, she walked forward with her head lowered while thinking about something.
When she almost bumped into a potted plant, she realized that she had gone the wrong way.
She was already at the end of the corridor. She had gone too far.
"I actually got drunk without even drinking!" Liuli couldn't help but mock herself.
She was about to turn around and walk back when her hand was grabbed.
Liuli screamed in shock. In the next second, she was pulled behind the potted plant.
Someone covered her mouth and said,
"It's me!"
It was Uncle Tang's voice, but it was deeper than usual.
Liuli looked up in shock…
It was really Tang Moxi!
However, Tang Moxi's expression looked terrible!
Liuli had just heaved a sigh of relief when she felt worried again and wanted to ask what was wrong.
However, she could only whimper as Tang Moxi covered her mouth.
When Tang Moxi realized that he was still covering Liuli's mouth, he let go awkwardly.
However, he didn't retract his hand. Instead, he placed it on the wall beside Liuli's cheek.
He looked down at her with intoxication.
She actually imagined that he was a vampire that would suck her dry in the next second, and then she would become a vampire too…
Then, she and Uncle Tang would become outlaws!
After Tang Moxi finally let go of her, he looked up and helped her pull her shawl back.
"Liuli, from now on, you'll be my woman.
