Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Seeing Xu Xingguang’s carefree smile at the corner of her lips, Huo Wen’an regretted not carrying a camera, he wished to capture this moment of Xu Xingguang’s smile forever.

Chu Ziling’s guest bedroom was arranged by Xu Xingguang on the second floor, and she prepared three bridesmaid dresses for Chu Ziling.

Chu Ziling entered the room and saw the three dresses more luxurious and beautiful than those brides usually wear, and she was a bit moved. She subconsciously wiped her tears, and said with a smile, "These dresses are so beautiful, those who don’t know might think I’m the one getting married."

"Didn’t we make a deal back then that whoever marries first must have the other at their wedding as a bridesmaid? How could I be the only one looking beautiful and let my bridesmaid lose her charm?" Xu Xingguang loves all beautiful people and things, and naturally, her bridesmaid is a source of pride the more beautiful she is.

Chu Ziling bumped her shoulder, "You’ve got my back!"

"Lingling, you should rest early too, we have to get up early for makeup tomorrow morning." Xu Xingguang patted Chu Ziling’s shoulder and turned to leave when Chu Ziling suddenly called her. "Xingguang!"

Xu Xingguang turned around, "Hmm?"

Chu Ziling smiled openly and said, "By the way, my brother, he’s so proud and arrogant, even if he knows he’s in the wrong, he lacks the face and courage to admit his mistakes. I’m not apologizing on his behalf, I just want to tell you, he’s just a conceited jerk, don’t take him to heart."

Hearing this, Xu Xingguang’s smile deepened, she said, "You truly understand me. Don’t worry, I don’t need you to apologize for him, and I won’t vent my frustration with him on you because of his narrow-minded arrogance."

"You’re my best friend, I don’t care what kind of person he is."

Chu Ziling felt relieved to hear her say this.

After leaving Chu Ziling’s room, Xu Xingguang went straight back to her and Huo Wen’an’s bedroom. She thought it was late, and Huo Wen’an should be asleep too, so she directly pushed open the bedroom door.

As soon as she looked up, she met Huo Wen’an’s eyes, who was rehearsing the wedding ceremony.

Huo Wen’an stood beside the clothes rack and even solemnly draped a bedsheet over it, making it look like a bride wearing a wedding dress.

He was holding a grape, in the middle of putting a wedding ring on the ’bride.’

Eyes met, an eerie silence filled the room inside and out.

Xu Xingguang sincerely asked, "Shall I step out for a moment?"

Without waiting for Huo Wen’an’s response, Xu Xingguang closed the door and walked out. Standing in the empty corridor, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Huo Wen’an’s face turned red, he quickly swallowed the grape, pulled down the bedsheet from the clothes rack, and threw it into the laundry basket in the dressing room.

When Xu Xingguang returned, Huo Wen’an had already tidied up the rehearsal scene.

Xu Xingguang’s mouth involuntarily curved into a smile as she looked at the clothes rack next to the entrance hallway, but Huo Wen’an held her mouth down.

"Please, spare me, stop laughing." Huo Wen’an’s handsome face was flushed with embarrassment.

Xu Xingguang’s mouth was covered, but her eyes squinted with laughter.

Huo Wen’an was helpless and had to let her go.

"Hahaha." Xu Xingguang laughed uncontrollably again, clutching her belly as she lay on the sofa.

Huo Wen’an got so frustrated he went straight into the inner bedroom.

After Xu Xingguang calmed down, she finally went to the bedroom.

Before wearing the wedding dress tomorrow, she still needed to take a bath, but tonight she just took a quick shower and went to bed in her nightgown.

Seeing Huo Wen’an angrily facing away from her, Xu Xingguang hugged his arm from behind, "Still mad?"

Huo Wen’an had his face covered with the blanket, his voice came out muffled, "I feel a bit embarrassed."

"It’s not embarrassing." Xu Xingguang said, "When I was young, I used to play pretend family too. I even draped a blanket over myself pretending to be the Empress and banished my mom to the cold palace."

Huo Wen’an: "..."

But he’s not a child.

He’s 29 years old this year, thank you.

Xu Xingguang understood Huo Wen’an’s feelings, he loved her for two lifetimes. Divine Hidden Crane secretly loved Lin Piaopiao but never had the courage to declare his love.

In this life, he finally gets to marry the love of his life, he’s nervous and anxious, which is why he secretly rehearsed alone before the wedding night.

Xu Xingguang kissed the small protruding bone on the back of Huo Wen’an’s neck, she held his hand under the blanket, and intertwined their fingers, her calm tone filled with comforting power, "Huo Wen’an, tomorrow I’ll be your bride, I won’t leave you again."

Huo Wen’an closed his eyes, but the scene of Lin Piaopiao dying in his arms flashed in his mind.
