CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: ALL MEN ARE DOGS

Xiao Li heard Chen Tingting call Qin Xiao "brother." Out of a woman’s intuition, Xiao Li instantly understood that this was a messy romantic entanglement Qin Xiao got himself into.

With a smile, Xiao Li didn’t give Qin Xiao a chance to speak and directly pouted at him and said, "Mister, see this!

I told you we should drink, but you wouldn’t let me. Now she has a problem with it."

Actually, Xiao Li wasn’t afraid of drinking; she could hold her liquor pretty well. At this banquet, she could drink a glass at each table without a problem.

But Qin Xiao wouldn’t allow it; he didn’t want Xiao Li to drink too much and harm her health...

Xiao Li finished speaking with a smile and handed her glass to Feng Qing, who understood and filled it up for her.

Holding her glass filled to the brim, Xiao Li looked at Chen Tingting, "This lady..."

Xiao Li said two words and then innocently looked at Chen Tingting with her drink in hand; she didn’t know who the other person was...

And Qin Xiao didn’t have the intention to introduce her, as he wasn’t familiar either...

Just as Qin Xiao turned to ask Qin Zilong, who came to toast with him,

Chen Tingting picked up her wine glass and smiled, "I’m Chen Tingting from the Chen Family in B City. You must have heard brother Qin Xiao mention me!"

Xiao Li chuckled, "Haven’t heard of you, though."

After saying this, Xiao Li turned to Qin Xiao, "Mister, why haven’t you ever mentioned Miss Chen to me?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "The dealings with the Chen Family are mostly on the business front, which my brother handles, so I don’t have much contact and am not familiar."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li gave a light "Oh..." and then raised her glass to toast everyone at the table. She poured the drink into her mouth, then turned and kissed Qin Xiao, transferring the wine from her mouth to his...

Xiao Li’s action immediately drew cheers from the young people nearby...

Once the kiss was over and the wine swallowed, Xiao Li hooked arms with Qin Xiao and moved on to the next table, not caring how dark Chen Tingting’s face became...

When a messy romance tries to entangle, show off your love and drive them crazy...

Have to admit, Xiao Li’s move was ruthless, and at this moment, Chen Tingting was almost losing her mind with jealousy.

Chen Tingting glared viciously at Xiao Li’s back, with a voice in her head screaming: She must make this woman who dirtied brother Qin Xiao pay.

After much effort, Chen Tingting suppressed her inner fury, forcing herself to look away from Qin Xiao and Xiao Li, ignoring their loving toasts...

As Qin Xiao walked to the next table with Xiao Li, he gently said to her, "Does it feel satisfying?"

Xiao Li smiled lightly, "Not really, still annoyed..."

Qin Xiao chuckled, "Then you can keep biting me until you’re satisfied..."

Just now, when Xiao Li passed the wine to Qin Xiao, it looked to outsiders like they were kissing romantically in public, but no one knew that Xiao Li had taken the opportunity to bite the tip of Qin Xiao’s tongue...

Qin Xiao knew Xiao Li was upset, so even if bitten, he kept offering his tongue, as long as Xiao Li could vent, she could bite however she pleased...

But there was no way Xiao Li would keep biting for too long; she only bit playfully. The moment she tasted blood in her mouth, she regretted it.

Although her heart was reluctant, on the surface, Xiao Li was still pretending, "There are too many people now; not enough satisfaction. We’ll see if I don’t make you beg for mercy when we get back to the room."

Qin Xiao laughed, "I can’t wait."

No matter how softly they spoke, Feng Qing and Qin Zilong walking alongside them still heard. Qin Zilong pretended not to hear, since, after all, today he’s Qin Xiao’s best man, but he didn’t dare to provoke Qin Xiao.

Qin Zilong, being from an extended branch of the Qin Family, had studied at the clan school with Qin Xiao since childhood. He was quite exceptional among his generation in the extended branch and had a decent relationship with Qin Xiao, which is why he and a few others from the branch were Qin Xiao’s groomsmen today.

But precisely because he had been exposed to Qin Xiao since childhood, Qin Zilong understood him better than outsiders. This guy was basically a sly fox with a smiling face.

It’s best not to provoke him; if you do, you’ll only suffer.

Qin Zilong was cautious, pretending he didn’t have ears today, but Feng Qing wasn’t worried. Relying on several years of friendship with Xiao Li, Feng Qing whispered to her, "I’m just afraid you won’t be able to out-bite him at that time.

Most men are like dogs."

Listening to Feng Qing’s words, Xiao Li’s face turned a peachy red, maybe from thinking of something or from the alcohol.

After a round of toasting, Qin Father’s and a few uncles’ main table stood up, as well as Qin Father, Qin Mother, and the Qin Tan couple. Qin Mother called Qin Xiao and Xiao Li over and had someone bring Little Stone and Little Mianmian too...

The adults were busy today, so Little Stone and Little Mianmian were looked after by the servants...

Once everyone was gathered, led by Qin Father, the group headed to the ancestral hall.

Many of the relatives and friends present didn’t know what they were up to. Eventually, the Qin family’s extended relatives at the feast explained that they were going to be entered into the family register.

Everyone who came today knew how strict the Qin Family’s rules for entering the register were. So hearing that Xiao Li and the child would be entered, Xiao Li’s status in their minds rose significantly...

Chen Tingting sat at the feast, watching Xiao Li’s departing figure, wishing she could stop her immediately. Because of her intense emotions, her fingers gripping the glass turned slightly white with force...

The wine glass she tightly held eventually shattered from excessive force. When it broke, everyone at the table jumped, and as they turned to her, Chen Tingting just smiled, wiped the wine off her hand with a napkin...

She didn’t hide her emotions at all, after all, who at this table didn’t know Chen Tingting had feelings for Qin Xiao?

After wiping her hand, Chen Tingting’s emotions slowly calmed down, as if she had just crushed not a wine glass but Xiao Li’s neck...

At this moment, Chen Tingting found a momentary peace after venting.

In the ancestral hall, Qin Father and the uncles walked in first, lighting the candles inside, and then the others followed...

At this time, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li had changed into another set of clothes. Since they were entering the ancestral hall, they had to wear the prescribed family wedding outfit, which was a traditional Chinese-style wedding attire...

Once inside, everyone took turns offering incense. Qin Father then took out a key to unlock the offering box in the hall, took out the family register, and flipped to the page with Qin Xiao’s name, recording Xiao Li’s name in the spouse column.

He then recorded Little Mianmian’s name, Qin Chu, in the children column under Qin Xiao.

Once he finished, he passed it to the uncles of the Qin family to review, and finally, Uncle Gen, the most respected among them, stamped the Qin Family Seal on the names of Xiao Li and Qin Chu...

From this point on, Xiao Li and Qin Chu were officially entered into the family register.

Qin Father placed the family register back in the offering box and locked it. After another round of kneeling and worship, they exited the ancestral hall...
