My Co-renting Lady Boss
Chapter 1817 - 1816: A Difficult Question
"You dare say that? Are you really so happy about his marriage?"
Liu Mengting grumbled, feeling annoyed.
"Why shouldn’t I be happy?"
Li Xiaoli tilted her head: "I’ve known about his relationship with Mu Zixin for a long time, so it’s whatever."
"You... It’s all your fault for being useless, letting Mu Zixin and Tang Ming mess around on the island. What are you doing?"
Liu Mengting complained at Li Xiaoli: "You’re a woman too. Even if Tang Ming couldn’t hold it in, you could have satisfied him. How could you let Mu Zixin take advantage?"
"Meng Meng sister, do you think I didn’t want to? I couldn’t even."
Li Xiaoli pouted: "Whenever Tang Ming touches me, I change form. Otherwise, Mu Zixin wouldn’t even have the chance."
"Such a useless body."
Liu Mengting lamented, feeling frustrated.
"Oh, you’re calling me out! Didn’t you say Tang Ming has already been with you, yet why aren’t you pregnant?"
Li Xiaoli protested angrily: "If you got pregnant earlier, you’d definitely marry Tang Ming before Mu Zixin, maybe even hand me over to Tang Ming along the way."
"I..."
Liu Mengting’s face stiffened, puzzled about why she wasn’t pregnant without taking medication.
"Stop arguing, things are this way now. We can only silently wish them well, or else it might anger Tang Ming Master, and beware of being abandoned."
Listening to Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli’s conversation, Su Xiaoxi couldn’t help but remind them, also feeling quite helpless.
To speak of who’s been with Tang Ming the most, she surely wouldn’t shy away from claiming it, yet her belly showed no signs. It’s frustrating!
Originally, Su Xiaoxi even suspected Tang Ming might have a problem, or deliberately using medical skills for contraception. But now that Mu Zixin is expecting, it shows Tang Ming is fine. Might it be her own issue? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
The wedding ceremony went very smoothly, hosted traditionally by the Mu Family. Due to the hurried preparation, it wasn’t extravagantly large, just fellow insiders attending, joining the festive mood, sending the newlyweds to the bridal chamber, then starting the banquet, eating and drinking.
Even though Tang Ming and Mu Zixin were delighted with the wedding, the happiest ones were the old Mu and the mad old man.
The mad old man, without sons under his name, felt joyful with his disciple Tang Ming marrying.
Old Mu was thrilled realizing Tang Ming’s powerful background, finding such a capable match for the Mu Family.
The two elders gathered, drinking non-stop, making the atmosphere lively.
Even though the Ma Family people attended the wedding, they left right after dropping off the wedding gift.
No matter how, a Mu Family woman marrying an outsider made it hard for the Ma Family to take.
For years, the Ma Family and Mu Family intermarried, keeping bloodlines pure between the families. But now Tang Ming intrudes between them, changing Glazed Island’s dynamics forever.
Tang Ming and Mu Zixin didn’t bother with outside world changes, sitting face to face, both feeling awkward after being sent to the bridal chamber.
"Have you had enough of staring?"
Mu Zixin blushed red, flashing a glance at Tang Ming.
"Heh, it’s okay. I hadn’t looked closely before, turns out you’re really pretty, even more stunning in a wedding dress."
Tang Ming grinned, complimenting casually.
"Hmph, you seemed to have issues with me at first. Didn’t expect I’d be your first proper bride, right?"
Mu Zixin snorted, patting her belly: "Plus, I’m your child’s mother first; no one can contest me."
"Yes, yes, no one’s contending, who would dare."
Tang Ming nodded continuously.
"Now that’s more like it, I’d like to see Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli try to act cocky in front of me now."
Mu Zixin laughed proudly.
"On a day of joy, mentioning other women isn’t quite appropriate, right?"
Tang Ming swallowed, as Mu Zixin was particularly dazzling.
"No way! From the start, I’ve always been bullied by Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, finally I’m taking a stand, of course I have to mention it."
Mu Zixin looked at Tang Ming seriously: "I’ve got a question—forget about Li Xiaoli; if Liu Mengting and I both fell into the water, who would you save first?"
"There’s no answer to this; isn’t this just putting me on the spot?"
Tang Ming felt increasingly troubled; who invented this question that stumped men through the ages?
"Don’t change the subject, answer directly. You can only save one, the other will die, who do you rescue?"
Mu Zixin firmly pressed Tang Ming for an answer.
"I... I won’t save anyone; there’re other fish in the sea, wife’s dead, let’s find another."
Tang Ming braced, saying indifferently: "Anyway, woman is not a things problem for me, right?"
"You, you bastard."
Mu Zixin was very displeased with Tang Ming’s reply, patting belly: "Child, did you hear? Your dad has no conscience, not even trying to save mom and you, better not be born, or you’ll definitely suffer."
"Big sister, I’m sorry, I’m sorry."
Seeing Mu Zixin bring the child into it, Tang Ming pleaded desperately: "I’ll save you, isn’t that fine?"
"Hmph, that’s more like it."
Mu Zixin snorted; though knowing Tang Ming was just appeasing, she was still quite satisfied.
"What do we do now?"
Tang Ming glanced outside, looking at Mu Zixin with heat in his eyes.
"It’s my first time getting married too; what should I do?"
Mu Zixin shook her head confusedly.
"Following your family’s schedule, we’re supposed to change clothes, go out and greet guests; but today’s attendees are all Mu Family invited, I don’t know any of them, let your people handle it, no need for my appearance."
Tang Ming got close to Mu Zixin, mischievously holding her hand: "How about doing what married couples are supposed to do?"
"You... It’s midday, isn’t it inappropriate?"
Mu Zixin blushed deeply, understanding Tang Ming’s hint.
"Why worry? We’re a rightful couple now; doing anything won’t be criticized, right?"
Tang Ming grew restless.
"Well... I’ll take off this wedding dress; you shut the doors and windows."
Mu Zixin reminded in a soft voice, face now crimson.
"No, don’t take off the wedding dress; let’s do it just like this, at the island it was without clothes, now we have to experience it properly."
Tang Ming chuckled, directly pinning Mu Zixin down.
"Careful, mind the baby."
"Don’t worry, I’m Divine Doctor, you’re still early, it won’t affect it."
Tang Ming chuckled mischievously and then shamelessly indulged.
It’s noteworthy that after sending Tang Ming and Mu Zixin to the bridal chamber, Tiejiao impatiently pulled Ghost Face into his own room.
Thanks to Tang Ming’s night-long treatment, Ghost Face’s facial scars healed, revealing her former beauty, which made Tiejiao very pleased, despite truly loving Ghost Face all these years, never leaving her disfigured side. Now that his wife returned to a beauty, of course he’s thrilled.
