Chapter 2269: The Short Bitterness of a Spring Night, Not to Be Wasted

During this nap, Shu Yu slept very soundly. The room was cooled with ice blocks, and there was no sound at all. The lively atmosphere in the front courtyard seemed distant, drifting like a lullaby.

With Xia Yan guarding outside, no one dared to disturb her.

As a result, she slept directly until it was pitch dark outside.

There seemed to be something cool and icy on her face, causing Shu Yu to furrow her brows, and she woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Meng Yunzheng using a handkerchief to wipe her face.

"Awake?" He asked in a low voice as he moved the handkerchief away.

Shu Yu blinked and quickly sat up. She looked out the window and found that it was completely dark.

"What time is it?"

"Two hours into the dog hour."

Shu Yu widened her eyes. Could it be? She had slept the entire afternoon? It was already 7:30 in the evening?

Meng Yunzheng poured her a cup of tea, and she moistened her throat before asking, "Where are the guests?"

"They've mostly left, just a few are still in the front courtyard."

"They just let you come back? Didn't they disturb our bridal chamber?"

Meng Yunzheng chuckled. "I got drunk and was dragged back by Xia Yan. If they didn't let me in, what could I do? Both of us fell asleep, who else could they disturb?"

Shu Yu scrutinized him from head to toe. "You... got drunk?"

Naturally, he was pretending. If he didn't pretend, he wouldn't have been able to escape. However, Zhao Xi, who had known him for many years, understood his drinking capacity, especially since he was a physician. Zhao Xi could tell that he was faking it.

But unfortunately, before he came over, he had been instructed by Shu You not to disturb his sister's wedding night. Moreover, Zhao Xi knew that while Meng Yunzheng could tolerate mischief in other matters, if he dared to destroy this long-awaited wedding night, he would definitely not get away with it in the future.

So, despite his strong urge to cause trouble, he wisely refrained from doing so. He even used his status as a physician to solemnly state that Meng Yunzheng couldn't handle any more alcohol and that it would be dangerous if he continued drinking.

The people present were convinced by the way Zhao Xi handled it. They believed that if even Zhao Xi regretted it, it really wasn't suitable to continue drinking. Therefore, they regretfully sent Meng Yunzheng back to his room.

Except for the fact that Weinan and his friends weren't present; other guests didn't know the whole story. If they had been there, Meng Yunzheng would not have been able to get away with it so easily.

After listening, Shu Yu couldn't help but smile. "It looks like they didn't dare to disturb you."

"That's good." Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow. He didn't want to waste precious time on playing pranks on their wedding night. "I'll have Ying Xi prepare some food for you. What would you like to eat?"

"Make some fried dumplings." She suddenly had a craving after eating dumplings earlier.

The dumplings were quickly prepared, and Meng Yunzheng ate with her. He still had a faint scent of alcohol on him, indicating that he hadn't eaten much.

After they finished eating, Xia Yan came over and said that most of the people in the front courtyard had left.

Shu Yu raised her head, not understanding why he felt the need to inform them. They could have just left without saying anything.

Meng Yunzheng, on the other hand, had already put down his chopsticks. He took her hand and led her to the adjacent bathroom. "Now that they've left, we should rest."

Shu Yu blushed slightly, her face turning redder as he continued. "They didn't dare to disturb you."

She glared at him, feeling a bit embarrassed, and quickly grabbed some clothes before entering the bathroom.

When she came out, Meng Yunzheng had changed into a fresh outfit. His hair was still slightly damp, indicating that he had showered in another room.

Shu Yu's steps paused. Suddenly, she was a bit hesitant to approach him.

However, Meng Yunzheng had already locked the door and was striding toward her. "My wife, the night is short, we shouldn't waste it."
