Chapter 1038 The Secret to Keeping a Marriage Fresh
Bo Jingzhou was somewhat embarrassed by her laughter and helplessly confessed, "It was Lin An's bad idea, saying that this would scare away the marriage prospect."
He looked at Su Yutang, a smile in his eyes, "And you? Who did your frizzy hair, smoky makeup, and studded leather jacket look?"
Su Yutang smiled and pointed to Su Xingyu, who was watching the commotion from the side: "Look, it was all my good fourth brother's idea. He said that this would show my rebelliousness and make you back down."
Bo Jingzhou nodded knowingly, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery: "It seems our strategist's abilities are about the same."
"But the effect was surprisingly good. At the time, we both... really disliked each other quite a bit."
Recalling the comical scene where the two disliked each other but were intimidated by each other's bizarre appearances, Su Yutang laughed even harder.
After laughing, Bo Jingzhou took her hand again, his gaze becoming incredibly serious and gentle: "So, let's have it together this time, and make up for all the ceremonies that were missing back then. I will definitely prepare this wedding carefully, so that you will never forget it."
Su Yutang was somewhat tempted.
But she still hesitated, "But this is clearly my four older brothers' wedding. Would it be inappropriate for us to go and join in the fun?"
"Perfect, perfect, perfect!" Xu Yike immediately jumped out, grabbed Su Yutang's arm, and shook it excitedly. "Tangtang, don't hesitate anymore. Let me tell you, my greatest happiness and dream in this life is to get married with you and wear wedding dresses together. Now my dream is about to come true. You can't refuse. Come on, let's go choose wedding supplies. We need to finalize everything today!"
Encouraged by Xu Yike, Su Yutang's last bit of hesitation vanished.
She smiled and nodded, letting Xu Yike pull her along as they joined the preparations for the joyous wedding.
......
When the four little ones heard that their dad and mom were also getting married, they cheered and jumped for joy, and the living room instantly became filled with four happy little sparrows.
"Oh my god, that's amazing! Daddy and Mommy are getting married!"
"And my eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle are also getting married!"
"When the time comes, my four uncles will definitely give us lots and lots of younger brothers and sisters, then we'll have people to play with!"
"Oh dear, shouldn't we make some preparations too?"
"What are you preparing for? It's our uncles' and Daddy and Mommy's wedding. We just need to make sure we eat and drink well!"
Over there, Su Hanhai and his wife exchanged a smile, their eyes and brows beaming with joy.
Su Hanhai raised an eyebrow and said, "Soon, our Su family will be celebrating five joyous occasions! Wife, are you happy?"
Mrs. Su nodded: "Happy, how could I not be happy? Seeing my children all find their own happiness and have happy families, that is my greatest wish."
As she spoke, she gently rested her head on Su Hanhai's shoulder and continued, "But the greatest happiness of my life was marrying you without hesitation back then."
Hearing his wife mention the past, Su Hanhai's heart stirred. He looked down at his wife nestled against him, his eyes filled with heartache, and his voice softened unconsciously: "But wife, back then, in order to marry me, you endured a beating from your family and almost lost half your life... Thinking about it now, it still feels like needles are pricking my heart."
That past event remains a source of eternal pain and guilt in his heart.
However, Madam Su simply smiled indifferently, raised her hand and gently patted the back of her husband's hand, comforting him in return: "It was just a little physical pain, but in return, I'll spend my life with you. What's wrong with that? Do you want me to be trapped there for the rest of my life?"
She raised her head and looked at her husband with unwavering eyes, "I want to be with you, for the rest of my life, and I have never regretted it."
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, the smile on her face faded slightly, and her expression became serious: "A few days ago, Yutang talked to me about her maternal grandparents."
Su Hanhai was slightly taken aback, and listened quietly.
Madam Su said slowly, "In the past, I always thought that the reason my mother was so vehemently opposed to my marriage to you, even resorting to family discipline, was because she didn't love me, looked down on the Su family's social standing, and wanted to use my marriage to gain greater benefits..."
She paused, her voice trembling slightly, yet warm, "But it wasn't until I heard Yu Tang's words that I realized I was wrong. On the contrary, it was precisely because she loved me so much and understood the ruthlessness and constraints of the Bloom family that she had to use the most decisive and resentful method to force me to leave, even... using her own freedom as the final bargaining chip to exchange for my true freedom."
Su Hanhai was deeply shaken, and his grip on his wife's hand tightened unconsciously.
Madam Su raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, but with a hint of relief, and said, "Before she died, she called me and said something that made her very happy: 'I married you back then.' It's just a pity that those words became her last words."
Su Hanhai's heart stirred, and after a long silence, he said, "Wife, I love you."
Mrs. Su smiled radiantly; her smile came from the depths of her being, a peace and contentment born from a life steeped in love and happiness.
She smiled and replied, "Honey, I love you too."
Watching his parents snuggling together, oblivious to everyone else, whispering sweet nothings, Su Xingyu grimaced and felt incredibly uncomfortable. He couldn't help but rub his arms and mutter under his breath, "Ugh... I can't bear to watch..."
Su Hanhai, with his sharp ears, immediately raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and retorted, "You brat, what do you know? This is called deep affection between husband and wife. Learn from this, and you'll have to treat my daughter-in-law the same way in the future, understand?"
Su Xingyu pouted after being scolded by his father, but then his eyes lit up and he suddenly became interested. He raised an eyebrow at his parents, his face showing a mischievous yet genuine curiosity: "Mom and Dad, I'm really curious. You two have been through thick and thin for decades, how come your relationship is still like that of young lovers? What's your secret to keeping it fresh? Can you share a few tips?"
The question came as a surprise, and both Su Hanhai and Madam Shu Qing were slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting their son to ask so directly.
Su Xingyu blinked, looking eager to learn.
He was genuinely curious, after all, he was about to get married himself and wanted to know how to maintain a long-lasting relationship.
