CHAPTER 416: CHAPTER 333: YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND MY JOY

Here is the translated text based on your requirements:

"Ah-woo!" Bai Shasha let out a muffled wail of grievance—it’s all Xu Er’s fault. He insisted on finding all sorts of tricks online, and now look at the mess! Those moves might have been fun for other people, but if they are used on her, she swears she’ll bite Xu Er to death afterward!

Li Si was watching the commotion from the side, and suddenly inspiration struck. She recalled the classic line from "Soldier Zhang Ga": "Don’t celebrate too early—you might tally up the score after the harvest season!"

It seemed like her decision to not go along with Leng Mochen was absolutely the right one. When it’s their turn to get married, even if Long Wu and Xu Er want to stir up trouble, Leng Mochen will definitely have ways to deal with them.

Bai Shasha glanced at Li Si’s belly. She wanted to tease her but couldn’t, so she switched tactics: "Sisi, isn’t it true that neither you nor I have had a wedding ceremony?"

The implication being: come on, let’s stand together on the same side!

Li Si only smiled without answering. Anyway, their wedding is planned for June 1st, so they’ll deal with it then!

Su Meng held back her laughter and said, "Sisi and Leng Er didn’t participate last night—how can you compare to them!"

Bai Shasha: "..."

Can she rewind time? She’s genuinely terrified that her wedding will turn into a circus!

Li Si suddenly remembered something and asked mysteriously, "Meng Meng, did Brother Wu open the gift we gave him last night?"

Su Meng’s face flushed bright red as she stared resentfully at Li Si: "How dare you bring that up—you two are so bad!"

At first, Long Wu thought it was just condoms. When Su Meng asked him about it, he confidently said that’s what it was. But who could have guessed—it turned out to be a custom-made miniature edition of the rare book *"The 24 Styles for Making Babies."*

The illustrations were absurdly lifelike, with detailed expressions and poses—it’s impossible to fully describe the feeling it evoked at that moment.

"It’s reciprocity!" Li Si quipped. "Who told Brother Wu and Xu Er to pull that stunt during our engagement celebration?"

Li Si shook her head and laughed mischievously as she looked at them.

Bai Shasha was full of curiosity: "Wasn’t it just that? Meng Meng, you’re already a married woman—why are you still shy?"

Isn’t it silly? What’s so embarrassing about condoms?

Su Meng: "..."

Can she admit that even as a married woman, there are still things that are hard to talk about? In short, Leng Er and his wife are absolutely devious.

Li Si glanced slyly at Bai Shasha: "Shasha, what’s the rush? When you and Xu Er get married, we definitely won’t play favorites—we’ll make sure to give you the exact same kind of gift! Now that you know it in advance, doesn’t that ruin the surprise?"

Su Meng finally felt a sense of balance in her heart. How could solitary joy compare to shared laughter?

When Long Wu and Xu Er came back, carrying bag after bag of groceries, the three men divided up duties in the kitchen: Xu Er washed vegetables, Long Wu sliced ingredients, and Leng Mochen manned the wok.

Long Wu and Xu Er each prepared their signature dish, planning to show off their skills to impress their women.

Long Wu jokingly proclaimed that the three of them were the "Good Husbands Trio," making Li Si and the others laugh uncontrollably.

Once dish after dish was laid out on the table, Bai Shasha took on the role of the scout and grabbed a piece of braised pork ribs. She brightly declared: "I’ll sample it on behalf of the two pregnant ladies!"

"Hmm! Delicious!" Bai Shasha couldn’t stop praising it, her eyes glowing as she nodded repeatedly.

Li Si immediately felt proud of her husband and deliberately acted humble: "He’s just average today—what he made a few days ago was much better!"

"Sisi, you’re so lucky!" Su Meng couldn’t help but sigh enviously from the side. Too bad her own husband, Long Wu, wasn’t skilled in the kitchen—who knows what he’ll come up with?

Bai Shasha gave Li Si a sideways glance: "Sisi, don’t act all modest when you’re obviously lucky! Your husband’s skills are definitely better than a five-star chef’s!"

This comment had Li Si and Su Meng laughing again. Leng Mochen’s dish perfectly suited Bai Shasha’s tastes.

Just as Xu Er came out of the kitchen, he saw his beloved lavishing praise on someone else’s food. Quickly, he presented a salad he made himself: "Shasha, how about you try this?"

This was crafted by his own hands—he had sneaked a taste earlier and thought, wow, it’s actually pretty good!

Bai Shasha picked up a piece of red cabbage, frowned slightly, popped it in her mouth, chewed a few times, and said nothing. Xu Er watched impatiently.

Li Si teased with laughter: "Is it good or not?"

Come on, say something already! Look at how anxious you’ve got Xu Er.

Bai Shasha finally responded to Xu Er with a helpless look: "It’s not bad."

Xu Er’s smile was just starting to widen when her next words completely crushed it.

"But I don’t like food this bland! You don’t understand my tastes!" Bai Shasha’s exaggerated tone was filled with mock drama.

Xu Er’s heartbreak could fill a river. The only dishes he really excelled at were just the few he made today—he could also grill steak well, but unfortunately, today’s theme was Chinese cuisine. How could he possibly showcase his skills?

Li Si and Su Meng burst out laughing again.

Li Si knew Bai Shasha’s preferences best—she’s a carnivore through and through. Every time she goes out, it’s all about ribs or barbecue. When has she ever indulged in anything light and plain?

Xu Er’s attempt today was a complete misstep.

With all the dishes finally served, Leng Mochen and Long Wu sat down as well. Everyone’s eyes fixed on the colorful, aromatic feast before them—though the knife skills left something to be desired. And thus, Long Wu became the target of their teasing.

Xu Er found a shred of comfort for himself.

Especially since Long Wu’s so-called signature dish turned out to be frozen dumplings he had boiled—everyone was speechless.

Only Su Meng had a look of warmth and happiness on her face, prompting Li Si and Bai Shasha to tease her: "There must be a story behind this!"

Sure enough, Su Meng shared the tale behind the dumplings, making everyone sigh in amazement.

Getting to where they are today wasn’t easy—it’s important to cherish each other!

Long Wu and Su Meng, despite the ups and downs they faced, managed to find happiness together. That’s certainly a kind of luck.

After the shared nostalgia, the room fell into a brief quiet. Long Wu stared at Xu Er and said, "Xu Er, you seemed to have a lot of fun last night, didn’t you? Feeling smug now, huh?"

"Don’t worry—I’ve looked up the ’15 Classic Wedding Prank Moves,’ every one of them a masterpiece! When your wedding rolls around, I promise it’ll be an unforgettable extravaganza. Get ready for it!"

Bai Shasha glared angrily at Xu Er—it was all his fault! Boo hoo! She’s now determined to postpone her wedding indefinitely. Too scary!

Xu Er wailed in despair, begging for mercy, but Long Wu remained unmoved. Xu Er’s misfortune didn’t stop there; if he knew this would delay his journey to win over Bai Shasha even further, he’d regret it so much his guts would turn green!

Long Wu then turned resentfully toward Leng Mochen, his tone cutting like a knife: "Er-er, you’re such a great buddy—our bond is as solid as blood!"

The gift Leng Er prepared was a trap with no escape. His wife had curiously asked him about it last night, wondering what was so mysterious about it.

He had casually replied that it was condoms—he figured he’d stock up in advance so he wouldn’t have to buy them after she gave birth.

Su Meng excitedly opened it, only to let out a piercing scream. The rest was history—his wedding night was far from romantic. Boo hoo...(To be continued.
