Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Chen Ming was trapped inside the door by her, and his hand instinctively stroked her hair.

She no longer wore her usual pigtails; instead, her smooth hair was draped down, and her neat and appropriate attire, along with a touch of light makeup, made her appear much more mature, which Chen Ming found somewhat unsettling.

She turned to look at me, slightly lowered her eyes, and said—

"Are you ok?"

"what?"

Chen Ming was completely baffled. What was wrong with him? He looked himself over and saw that Baphomet had already wiped away the marks left by the girls on his body. There shouldn't be anything strange about it.

The landlady's small feet were clad in white high heels, her toes lightly tapping the floor. Her hands were clasped behind her back, and her voice was somewhat downcast.

"I had a dream... I dreamt that you took the blame for me, and I was walking alone on a road, walking and walking..."

"..."

Chen Ming lowered his gaze, smiled, bent down, and leaned closer to her, saying—

"Dreams are all fake."

"But……"

"Besides, I'm not alone. Aren't you watching me too? I'm on the road with your eyes on me and you by my side. No matter how long it is, I will pull myself together."

He pressed his cheek against hers and kissed her on the cheek, saying—

"I'm not taking the blame for you, but sharing the burden with you, my landlady... Would you be willing to stand with me?"

The landlady had tears in her eyes, wore a white dress, and had a white veil with tassels falling down, making her expression even more hazy.

She pursed her lips, pulled his arm, buried her face in his chest, and said—

"I do, and we have a promise."

Chen Ming's eyes softened as he stroked her back and smiled as he said—

"I haven't forgotten."

……

"The groom is here!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and in the grand hall, everyone's eyes turned to him, making him feel a little nervous.

"Hehe, good son-in-law, come here quickly."

Bai Xiu waved to him, and her father-in-law, standing beside her, smiled and said—

"It's been a long time. We're relieved to see you looking so energetic."

"Dad, mom."

Chen Ming hurriedly went up to greet them. His parents-in-law had also helped with the wedding and said they would invite some people over, but it ended up getting bigger and bigger.

It's actually normal. When getting married, you invite relatives and friends from both the bride and groom's families. Nowadays, the bride's family usually has several times the usual number of guests, so of course many people will come.

His mother-in-law affectionately grabbed his arm and laughed—

"Oh dear, son-in-law, you've lost weight! You need to get some rest. Are you a little nervous about the wedding today? If you can't handle it, go home and rest. We adults can take care of things here..."

They showered him with concern and affection, treating him, their son-in-law, almost too well. So much so that Gu Qing, who followed behind, completely ignored them, coldly looking up at her two unfortunate parents.

"Ah ha ha……"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Chen Ming's forehead. He realized it might be because Gu Qing was too petite, and he was blocking her view. So he turned to the side, pulled her aside, and said to his parents-in-law—

"Don't worry, Dad, Mom, I'll take good care of Gu Qing."

"Ok?"

His parents-in-law were taken aback when he abruptly shifted the topic to Gu Qing. It wasn't until they saw Gu Qing's dark, almost black face that they seemed to understand.

"Ah, ah... yes."

My father-in-law nodded and said—

"Today is also Gu Qing's wedding..."

"???"

Wait, father-in-law... why do you seem to have completely forgotten until just now? Isn't that a bit too much? So you're here for your son-in-law's wedding, and it doesn't matter whether the bride has Gu Qing or not?

Seeing her husband's dazed expression, the mother-in-law couldn't help but kick him with her high heels, then said to Chen Ming and Gu Qing, whose expressions were strange—

"Ah, haha... Her dad was just joking with you guys, seeing how nervous you are... How could any parents forget their daughter's wedding..."

"……yes."

Gu Qing's tone was as cold as ice, and the light in her eyes disappeared as she spoke—

"If you really have parents like that, you should just cut ties with them. They're useless anyway."

"Waaah..."

His mother-in-law, tears welling in her eyes, held his arm tightly, clearly saying—

"Son-in-law, please help! Don't just stand by and watch."

"..."

Chen Ming turned his head away; this was clearly his father-in-law and mother-in-law's fault, and he wouldn't concern himself with it.

Leaving Gu Qing behind to listen to their explanation, Chen Ming went to greet other guests with his other wives. A large portion of the guests were his sister's colleagues, classmates, and teachers.

After all, she is a leader who needs to oversee all aspects of life. Attending her wedding seems to have become a battleground for competition, and being invited to it is considered a sure path to a bright future.

"Xiaoxiao..."

Jiajia watched as the other woman put on her wedding dress, her eyes reddening. She took her hand and said—

"It feels like you've suddenly moved on, achieved great success, and are now married to the person you've always loved... while I'm left behind."

What is this feeling like? Your closest friends will never live in the same dormitory with her again, watching her walk towards happiness, while you are still like a child, at a loss.

The older sister smiled and looked at her friend, saying—

"Then why don't you hurry up and find someone to marry? Don't be too picky."

"Is it because my standards are too high? I'm buried in experiments all day long and have no time for dating. I'm also carrying a classified information card. I'm only now able to be free."

No one is willing to admit their own problems; they always have a lot of excuses.

She held her sister's hand and kept complaining, then suddenly looked at Chen Ming, who was silent beside her, and narrowed her eyes.

"Tsk."

"..."

Was that just now... her clicking her tongue at him? Chen Ming blinked.

……

PS: Tsk (ω)

Chapter 1572 This womanizer has so many brides!

Chen Ming looked at his sister's friend. Well, although she was several years older than him, he could clearly sense that she had a somewhat willful personality. She made a fuss about the groom, which showed that she was quite capricious.

Even if most people were dissatisfied with him, they wouldn't show it so obviously, especially since this was a joyous occasion.

This must be Jiajia. She seemed to have said she was going to come and teach him a lesson, but her sister stopped her, so they didn't end up interacting.

Now it seems that she still has some dissatisfaction with him.

Jiajia clung to her sister as if trying to separate her from him, glanced at him, then at the other brides, her eyes wide, and deliberately muttered something in a voice he could hear—

"What a shameless womanizer."

Chen Ming pretended not to hear, smiled, and extended his hand to her, saying—

"Hello, I am Chen Ming."

"..."

Jiajia pursed her lips, but in the end, for Xiaoxiao's sake, she didn't embarrass him too much. She reached out and shook his hand, then muttered that she would definitely wash her hands when she got back.

After all, shaking hands with a man with such promiscuity might result in pregnancy.

Chen Ming shook his head and said—

"Don't keep things bottled up inside. There's no one else here, so just say what you want to say."

Jiajia glanced at her older sister.

The older sister nodded and said—

"It's ok."

"So I'll really tell you?"

Jiajia pointed to the landlady, Yuqian, and Zhou Siqi over there and said—

"Xiaoxiao, you didn't use your power to protect him, did you? That's absolutely a crime!!"

I'd been hearing her talk about how wonderful her husband was, and I was starting to have some expectations, but then... this...

Her older sister glanced at her and said indifferently—

"Bridesmaid".

Jiajia suddenly looked at him, put her hands on her hips, and said—

"You said."

What did I say?

"Why be unfaithful!"

Others dared not ask because of Xiaoxiao, but her best friend did. She didn't care if she was disliked; she just felt sorry for her friend.

To her surprise, Chen Ming was not angry or embarrassed; on the contrary, he was a little touched. After so long, someone had finally come to actually scold him.
