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

"it is good."

Chen Ming's face was beaming with happiness as he was surrounded by his family members who cared for him. What could be more blissful than this?

"..."

Hearing everyone showering him with concern, the bride pursed her lips and muttered softly—

"A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; there's no need to care about her anymore..."

You should all just worry about Mingming! Humph.

The mother, amused by her daughter's rambling, said—

"You've been carried and looked after by your son-in-law the whole day, what's there to care about? Really..."

"Well……"

The bride bit her lip, feeling that all the care she deserved had been taken away, and gently stepped on him under the table.

This familiar gesture made Chen Ming smile. He turned to look at his bride, picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks, and said—

"It's okay, I'll take care of you from now on, my wife."

"Who cares..."

Although she said it so haughtily, her expression under the veil brightened, and she smiled happily. Then, somewhat flustered, she tried to eat while the veil was still on.

The mother watched the scene with some confusion, and finally asked the question—

"Speaking of which... Xiaomei, why haven't you lifted your veil yet? Isn't it inconvenient like this?"

"Hey?"

The bride was taken aback, then said somewhat blankly—

"No, isn't it only during the wedding night that the veil can be lifted?"

That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas.

Everyone present exchanged glances, and then Grandma said—

"It could be taken down before the wedding ceremony. I thought it was a bit strange at the time. You didn't know that?"

"That's not right."

Chen Jun suddenly said—

“I explained the process to my son-in-law, so he should know it.”

Everyone looked at Chen Ming.

His eyes darted away, and he scratched his cheek as he spoke—

"It's not so bad, it lets Xiaomei rely on me more."

She carefully clung to his arm, like a toddler learning to walk, so adorable that I wanted to look at her a little longer.

"..."

The bride gritted her teeth and gently stomped on him a few more times with her soft, lotus-like feet.

That guy is really wicked.

Chapter 873 The Bride's Utter Shame and Indignation

Chen Ming scratched his head, realizing he was being a bit rude, so he smiled and reached out to help her lift the veil, saying—

"Okay, I'll take it down for you."

"do not want!"

The bride stubbornly held onto the edge, preventing him from succeeding. Her coquettish tone made Chen Ming feel as if he could see her puffed-up cheeks even through the veil.

He smiled and said—

"What's wrong? Wearing a veil is so inconvenient, why can't you bear to take it off?"

"Humph."

The bride snorted and said—

"You've got to keep teasing me, now you're reaping what you sowed. I don't want you to see what I look like, and I'm making you look after me all the time. You're such a nuisance."

Chen Ming blinked, as if she had become particularly willful today. Happy girls are always a little willful; unhappy girls don't have the chance to be willful.

Does her current behavior reveal that she's already somewhat blinded by happiness? She can hardly control her words and actions, indulging in coquettishness and tantrums towards him.

But would he find taking care of her troublesome? He only didn't lift the veil because he wanted to see her adorable way of relying on him, and her willful behavior seemed to be leading her into a trap.

That's why it's cute.

He covered his mouth with his hand, looking like he couldn't help but chuckle, and said—

"Okay, I'll keep watching you. Here, let me get you some food."

She couldn't see the food on the table, so he had to help her put it in her bowl before she could lower her head to eat.

He looked at the delicate pendant swaying precariously by the veil and suddenly felt an urge to take the opportunity to pull it off, like a child pulling a girl's hairband, with a mischievous thought.

He wanted to see her look surprised, then angrily throw herself into his arms and complain.

However, they ultimately did not take any action.

Perhaps it was a strong possessiveness? He wanted to wait until they returned to the room before lifting her veil to see her beautiful face, which belonged only to him.

It seems there's a contradiction in his mindset: he wants to show off his wonderful wife to everyone, but he also wants to build a golden house to hide her away and keep her all to himself.

After eating a few bites, and with some more social engagements to attend to, the bride didn't need to show up either, as it wasn't really convenient for her in her current state. So, he nudged her arm and smiled, saying to her—

"Are you tired? Let me take you back to rest."

The bride was a little tired, but she was also feeling exhausted. Hearing Chen Ming's gentle words, she slightly turned her head and said—

"No, I'll just sit here."

"What are you doing sitting here? You're taking up space."

What? You're the one taking up space!

She nudged him with her knee in anger again. Despite it being a joyous occasion, they were bickering like usual, making themselves a laughingstock for everyone.

However, the family members watching from the sidelines were actually looking at them with gentle eyes. Their playful and teasing relationship actually showed that they had a very good bond, as everyone knew.

If this happens in the future, new terms will emerge to describe this behavior—"showing off affection" or "abusing affection."

It's so intense it's making single people feel vulnerable.

Being single is bad enough, but being called a dog is even worse.

What did the dog do wrong?

The bride pouted and said—

"I'm not doing anything, you figure it out."

That's just a capricious excuse. If you don't coax me properly, I'm not leaving today.

Chen Ming nodded in agreement with her words and said—

"Then I'll handle it myself?"

"Hey?"

Before the bride could react to what he meant, he put one hand under her knees and the other hand on her waist, and suddenly picked her up.

"Whoa! You...you're doing it again..."

He picked her up again, he's such a bandit! The bride felt his strong embrace, struggled slightly, and said—

"Put me down."

"Okay, okay, I'll put you down when we get to the room, okay? Hmm? Be good."

Chen Ming's tone was exactly like he was coaxing a child. His education background had undoubtedly honed his skills in taking care of children, but using this method to deal with adults was infuriating.

It was clearly a prank.

"Ugh... Stinky Mingming..."

She bit her lower lip, but in the end, she quietly let him carry her back to the room. She was indeed very tired today. Although she didn't have to move around much, she had been running around and busy all day, and had been wearing a veil the whole time, which had taken a toll on her mental health.

He must have been very considerate to notice that even without seeing her face or knowing her expression, he could sense her exhaustion from her tone and actions.

He has always been a gentle person.

Except when you're not being gentle.

"Wang Wang."

Cerberus noticed its master's movements and, despite being in its beautiful girl form, barked twice and followed. Chen Ming glanced at the little tagalong, but instead of letting her go, he led her to the door adorned with large red double happiness symbols and said to her—

"Cerberus, open the door."

"it is good."

The white-haired, red-eyed girl opened the door, and Chen Ming carried his bride inside. The festive red in the room reflected on his face, adding a blush.

He placed the bride on the bed, squatted in front of her, held her soft white hand, and remained silent for a long time.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

The bride sensed something was wrong. He was carefully examining her palm, stroking every finger and every crevice between them.

His gaze slowly turned fiery, and even though she couldn't see it, she felt as if she were being stared at by his burning gaze.

Huh...huh?

What about Cerberus?

She suddenly realized that Cerberus hadn't followed and hadn't heard her footsteps as she entered. The clever dog had already quietly stood guard at the door, ensuring that no one would disturb the two people inside.

She's not a silly dog ​​anymore (in her own opinion). She's learned a lot. Her owner taught her very well. Once she's been taught, they've become husband and wife.

I already know those things; it's embarrassing, and I can't disturb them.

Chen Ming seemed somewhat mesmerized. He stared at her hand and said—
