Of course, Huaze Lei—the natural seducer—couldn't let his honeymoon pass unnoticed.
That night, he personally showed off his culinary skills.
He prepared grilled fish, mashed potatoes, and steamed rice. For dessert, a delicate passion fruit mousse topped with chocolate.
Lin Mei enjoyed every bite. She was completely satisfied.
After the meal, Huaze Lei insisted on washing the dishes himself.
The butler and the chefs were left stunned.
Although Huaze Lei was always polite and respectful, he had never done such things at home.
What no one knew was that this had been taught to him by the family patriarchs.
His parents and grandparents had raised him and his brother from a young age, teaching them how to cherish and pamper their future wives.
He had always believed he would never need those lessons.
Now, he wished he could go to his grandmother and say:
"Grandma, I love you. Thank you for teaching me. I was able to make my wife happy."
He made a mental note to buy her an expensive set of Chinese tea cups in the style she loved.
As for his mother—he knew better than anyone that the best gift he could give her was his daughter-in-law.
After all, among the three siblings, Huaze Lei was the first to get married.
It wasn't that his brother didn't date—he simply dated too much to ever settle down.
And his sister was still young. Their parents couldn't rush her.
Huaze Lei refused to admit that his sister and his wife were born in the same year.
The thought made him blush slightly.
Married to a girl the same age as his sister…
But Lin Mei was already an adult. She wasn't related to him, and he wasn't committing any crime.
Especially since he himself was only twenty-six years old.
Just a small—tremendous—six-year age gap.
After dinner, they went to the private cinema room, both dressed in pajamas. Lin Mei wore soft slippers.
Earlier, Huaze Lei had shown her an entire walk-in closet prepared just for her—designer clothes, jewelry, bags, shoes, makeup… everything a woman could need.
From that day on, she would be living there.
Her belongings had long since been removed from the Lin family home. Before the audition, Shen Fei had helped her pack everything from the dormitory.
Huaze Lei had sent people to collect her things.
Now, all of her belongings were in the house that belonged to both of them.
He had even transferred the property into her name as well.
After half of the romantic movie, Lin Mei had already fallen asleep on Huaze Lei's lap.
He gently carried her to the bedroom.
But the moment he laid her down, she suddenly woke up.
Today was their honeymoon.
He looked at her with tender, affectionate eyes—
And—
"And then?" Shen Fei leaned forward excitedly.
"Come on, baby dear, tell me what happened next!"
"He… seduced me again," Lin Mei said softly.
"Again?" Shen Fei scoffed. "Seriously? Stop lying. You fell asleep during the movie. You only woke up when he carried you to bed."
"Shen Fei! What are you implying?"
"I'm saying—you were the one who seduced him."
"I—I… Fei Fei, believe me!"
"Enough, enough," Shen Fei waved her hand. "Didn't I say I'd introduce you to my childhood friend today?"
"Yes… where is she?"
"There. Come on."
She pulled Lin Mei forward.
"Best, this is my other best friend. This is Lin Mei.
Lin Mei, this is Huaze Yu Mei."
"…Aren't you my sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law?"
"You didn't know?" Yu Mei smiled brightly. "I'm Big Brother Huaze Lei's sister."
"Eh?" Lin Mei froze. "Then… we really are sisters-in-law!"
She quickly smiled.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. Fei Fei said you're childhood friends?"
"Yes," Yu Mei nodded. "We've known each other since elementary school."
"That's right," Shen Fei added. "We were too busy studying before, so you couldn't meet. It's such a pity—but I'm glad you finally did."
"I'm happy too," Yu Mei said sincerely.
"I've never been good at making friends. I only had male friends… and Fei Fei. But now that we've met—since we're sisters-in-law—can we be friends?"
"Of course," Lin Mei replied warmly.
"Do you go to college?" she asked. "Where?"
"She's studying acting like us," Shen Fei answered proudly.
"And after much persuasion from me, she's transferring to our university."
Yu Mei nodded excitedly.
"And I'll also be the third female lead in the drama we're filming!"
Lin Mei's eyes lit up.
"A drama already? Fei Fei, when do I sign the contract?"
"Today at the latest. Tomorrow at most," Shen Fei said.
"They'll definitely contact you, Mei Mei."
She turned to Yu Mei. "You've already signed, right?"
"Yes. I signed the day before yesterday—as the third female lead."
"And you?" Yu Mei looked at Shen Fei.
"I'm the second female lead," Shen Fei said proudly.
"And our sister-in-law here—she's the first."
"Yay!" Yu Mei clapped excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, you'll have to help me get an autograph from Queen Shen Rou!"
She grinned mischievously.
"Though honestly… I think we'll surpass her soon. What do you think?"
"I, Fei Fei, support you."
"I, Mei Mei, support you."
"I, Yu Mei, support me."
The three girls laughed together.
