He gently lowered his head and kissed her full forehead. Her taste was so sweet, belonging to her. It filled his nose and breath, filling his heart with sweetness.

"Shufang, am I dreaming? "You really want me to .."

After a long while, both of them were unable to breathe. Only then did he let go of the beauty in his embrace, and used his fingers to pick up her chin, confirming her heart once again.

When they were having intimate moments, Ning Haitao was too clumsy and hit her forehead. The injury was getting more and more painful, Liu Shufang felt dizzy and didn't hear Ning Haitao's words clearly. She touched her forehead and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at her painful expression, Ning Haitao couldn't care less about the throbbing in his heart. He hurriedly checked her wound with concern.

"Hai Tao!" What happened? How could you just get married and live to see the light of day? What bad luck, what kind of wife did he have? "I tell you, Harland is already married to your brother. If you want to go back on your word, I will bring the girl back and bully my orphans and widows!"

The old granny's voice came from the door. In order to show her anger, she jabbed the cane in her hand into the ground.

"Mom, it's okay. It's late, you should go to bed!"

The entire mountain village knew that her mother was very aggressive. Originally, her mother was not like that, but ever since her father had died, she had experienced many hardships in her life and her legs had been injured. Her mother's temperament had changed greatly.

"What's all right? "I heard it just now, Liu Shufang. Let me tell you, once you enter my Ning family, you have to do your duty. If I find out that you have let down my son, don't say that I broke your legs."

Zhang Sanhua was leaning on his double crutches as he stood at the door of his son's room. His face was twisted in anger as he cursed repeatedly at the tightly shut door.

She didn't specifically listen to her son's story about having a girl mischievous and secretly eavesdropping on the wall. She came back to tell her that her sister-in-law had someone in her heart that she wasn't willing to marry her brother. That was why she got her daughter to help her come over.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, especially when she heard that her son was trying to coax Liu Shufang. Thinking about how her daughter had already entered the bridal chamber with Liu Shufang's brother, even if she didn't bring him back, she felt like she had been deceived.

She even wanted her son to take care of Liu Shufang, so much so that her daughter-in-law would knead the dough for her to eat. Once she submitted, she would live an honest life.

"Shufang, don't take Mother's words to heart."

Ning Haitao looked at Liu Shufang awkwardly. Seeing her depressed expression, he looked towards the door, tears rolling down his face. He felt his heart ache. He put his hand on her shoulder and looked at her apologetically.

"It's fine, mother is right. Since I've become your wife, of course I should wholeheartedly live with you."

Liu Shufang smiled awkwardly. Her mother-in-law's valiance was the same as in her previous life, but she didn't blame her. Who asked her to seek death on her wedding night? The two families were engaged to someone else, and what he had done in his previous life was indeed unorthodox.

Her brother was a cripple, and she had married into his family. However, she had sincerely followed her brother and had never thought of him as a cripple, nor did she despise her family for being poor.

In his previous life, he eloped with Zhang Qiang, and his mother-in-law went to bring Hailan home. However, she kneeled down to her mother and begged her mother for mercy. She couldn't bear to part with her crippled husband, and she couldn't bear to part with her young child.

Hai Lan was the kind woman. On the other hand, he had always been good to her, and he loved her dearly. When his mother-in-law tried to make things difficult for her, it was always him who helped her out.

She had an intimate relationship with Zhang Qiang and refused to share the room with him. Furthermore, she had even thrown her child away to him because she had done too much. She deserved the miserable ending from her previous life.

"Mother, don't worry. I will definitely live a good life together with Hai Tao."

She spoke loudly to the door, her promise to her mother-in-law, to keep her old man from getting angry.

"Hmph, that's still a human word."

Hearing the guarantee from his wife, Zhang Sanhua's anger dissipated a little as she spoke to the door. Her voice became a lot calmer, and the harsh tone from before was no longer present.

The mother-in-law also couldn't always stay at the daughter-in-law's door. Today was their wedding night, so it would be awkward to hear anything. With the support of her daughter, she went back to her own east house.

The houses in the countryside were all arranged in the same pattern. The entrance was to the kitchen and dining hall, with one room to the left and right. The houses in the north and south were divided into east and west rooms.

"Mother left."

Ning Haitao heard the sound of the walking stick slowly fading away. He looked at Liu Shufang and whispered.

Liu Shufang's words had moved him a lot. She was giving her mother a date to ease his heart and at the same time, she was also trying to make him completely at ease.

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Liu Shufang raised her head. Seeing the nervousness and regret in Ning Haitao's eyes, she knew what he was worried about. She took the initiative to extend her small hand and put it on his big palm.

The bright red words of joy in the room made their hearts throb. Tonight was the wedding night, the most important moment in their lives.

Ning Haitao felt a surge of electricity coursing through his body through his palm. Seeing Liu Shufang shyly lower her head, he tightened his grip and wrapped her soft white hand around his.

Ambiguity floated between the two of them. In the quiet room, the beating of her heart could be heard clearly. Liu Shufang blushed like a fresh apple, and Ning Haitao wanted to swallow her whole.

"Go to sleep!"

Ning Haitao's voice was low and hoarse, carrying traces of emotion. To Liu Shufang, it sounded like a love song, full of bewitching charm.

"Yes."

She replied in a low voice, her face turning even redder. Even her earlobes had turned pink.

Her heart was beating like a drum. In her previous life, she had been intimate with him before, but that time, Ning Hai Tao had drunk too much and after finding out about her clandestine love, he used force in anger. She had no joy, no expectation, only disgust and pain.

But now, it was different. She had a faint trace of anticipation in her heart. She could truly become his woman, and all of her body and mind would belong to him.

When Liu Shufang raised her head and saw his robust figure, she became distracted for a moment. His figure was comparable to a modern bodybuilder, unlike Zhang Qiang's thin chest, which made him a real man.
