Gu Jinglian obviously noticed her flushed face. Although she had a scarlet rouge applied on her face, he could, nevertheless, tell makeup from shyness!
Gu Jinglian did not expose her shyness. Instead, he asked seriously, "Now, can I kiss my bride?"
Chu He pursed her lips, but her shoulders shrank. She did not expect Gu Jinglian to be able to say such heart-stopping words, like other men. Except that when he said it, she didn't feel at all that he was being frivolous. Instead, a sweet feeling welled up inside her.
Seeing that she was not responding or giving an affirmative, the crowd started cheering enthusiastically. Gu Jinglian let out a rare smile. This was probably the first genuine smile he had shown since stepping into the house!
"Close your eyes," he said.
Initially reluctant, Chu He finally closed her eyes as though in reflex, when Gu Jinglian's burning gaze fell on her.
