Because I Cannot Hurt You

The wedding day came in the blink of an eye. Yunru and Zizi didn't want any lavish wedding, so they opted for a simple wedding in a church with only their family and close friends by mutual consent.

The families agreed to this in exchange for a grand reception party for the whole of China to witness. After all, Zizi was the one and only princess of the Han family.

Right now, both the bride and groom were getting ready in their respective rooms.

Xia Liqin's eyes reddened, seeing Zizi donned in a beautiful white wedding dress, studded with elegant pearls around the embroidery.

"Aish…you are a Princess, Zizi. You look so beautiful," she wiped the corner of her eye and hugged her.

Shuang, who was brushing her hair, "Aunt Liqin! You will ruin my hairdo!" She whined. "Hug your daughter as much as you want AFTER her makeup is done."

Xia Liqin smacked her head. "You all don't understand a mother's happiness at all!"

She grinned and stuck out her tongue. Her gaze fell on Caihong, and she exclaimed. "Heyyy! Don't use those earrings! Those diamond shaped ones would totally match this dress!"

Caihong glared at her. "What? No! I say we should use the pearl shaped ones. Look, she has pearls on her embroidery."

"Yeah, so we already got pearls on her dress. We don't wanna drown her in just pearls! Let's spice it up with some variety!"

"Pearls will look better!"

"Diamonds!"

"Waaaaaaaaa!!"

The baby boy in Ah Cy's arms started wailing. He was just about to sleep when their argument woke him up.

It was a few days ago when Ah Cy and Liang's second child stepped into the world - Xu Yuhan.

Everybody thought that Liang would cry and cause a ruckus because it wasn't a daughter and he did. But he cried and caused a ruckus not because of the gender but…

"Oh my God! He looks just like Ah Cy! He is so beautiful! Well of course, he does! It's because he got my wife's beautiful genes! He is not like his father who looks like a pig head. Both my children have taken upon their mother," he emotionally blew up his nose. "I cannot be any happier!"

Liang didn't even flinch while dissing his own self. In the end, he was crying more than the baby himself, so the nurse had to throw him out of the ward to maintain peace.

At present, Ah Cy scowled at the duo. "You made him cry!" She whispered. "He was just about to sleep."

Caihong and Shuang coughed guiltily. "S-Sorry…"

Ah Cy patted her son's back and sung a lullaby to soothe me. Xu Yuhan quietened and slowly fell asleep.

Zizi shook her head and chuckled. "Easy guys. No need to fight."

"Yes," Xinyi smiled as she entered. She eagerly hopped over to baby Yuhan's side first and kissed his cheek.

"He looks so cute…" her heart was struck with several arrows.

Ah Cy grinned. "Of course. Where is Shui by the way?"

"I just finished breastfeeding her. Shui and Siying are with Zhiyuan."

"Oh Leina is with Liang too."

Caihong scratched her cheek. "Hehe, Chyou is with Xiaosi too. We all have dumped everything upon our husbands."

Shuang clicked her tongue. "So rude and heartless."

Caihong shot her a stare and sneered. "Well, I will see once you become a mother and throwing the responsibility at Jack~"

"..."

Here she goes again!

Xinyi came in between. "Alright, stop, stop! Today is Zizi's wedding day! No fighting!"

Zizi harrumphed. "Pay more attention to me!"

Shuang said, "I am, but please tell Caihong that diamond shaped earrings are the best, not pearls."

Caihong snorted. "Shuang, you don't have any taste in jewelry at all."

Xinyi stretched her arm. "Time out. No more fighting. Let's do one thing. Zizi will wear diamond shaped earrings and a pearl bracelet. Isn't that fine?"

Zizi and Xia Liqin beamed. "That's a great idea!"

Shuang and Caihong agreed and nodded. "This is good."

"Xinyi is the best."

Ah I smirked. "That's why Zhiyuan cannot keep his hands off you~"

Xinyi choked. "W-what do you mean?"

"Don't lie. I saw you two passionately kissing in an empty room and making out."

Xia Liqin coughed and looked away. Xinyi blushed furiously. "I-It's a-"

"Sshh! I swear if Yuhan wakes up again, I will kill you!"

Xinyi lowered her voice. "It's all lies! He was just showing me around the dressing rooms!" ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

Zizi nudged her elbow. "For not so innocent purposes~"

"..."

"You all are horrible!"

—

On the groom's side, Jack and Xiaosi were having a similar argument like Shuang and Caihong back in Zizi's room.

"You have bad taste Xiaosi. A white rose will definitely look the best on his suit."

Xiaosi sneered. "You don't teach me about tastes. Clearly, a red rose goes with his suit. But you were always color blind!"

Zhiyuan, Liang and Soo Enlai on the other side - "..."

Liang took charge of extinguishing the fire and helplessly smiled. "Alright, alright, if you insist. I will help you-"

"Nobody asked you," they spat together.

"..."

Aggrieved and heartbroken, Liang jumped into Soo Enlai's hug. "Did you just see how they treat me, Uncle!?"

Soo Enlai patted his head. "You ignore these two. Let's play a round of chess!"

Yunru's mouth twitched. "Dad, are you here to play games?"

"What can I do? I wanted to be by Zizi's side but unfortunately, I am the groom's father. So I am stuck here!"

Zhiyuan laughed as he cradled Shui in his arms. Siying frowned and scolded his father. "Dada! Shui is sleeping! You will wake her up. If she cries, Mama will be mad."

Leina nodded. "Mama always scolds Dada for being loud."

Liang was dumbfounded. "I am not loud. How mean!"

Chyou was busy squishing Shui's cheeks, but she was careful enough not to wake her up.

Zhiyuan coughed and stopped laughing, not wanting to face his wife's wrath.

He looked around and asked, "Where is Dad and Grandpa?"
