Chapter 576 Testing the Groom: Doing 120 Push-ups

Gu Zhiyao simply ignored him and focused on washing up. After she finished, He Yi personally carried her back to the dormitory and then left the dormitory.

In the living room, two elderly women, both nearing ninety, were chatting animatedly, their faces beaming with smiles.

Hearing footsteps, they both looked over.

"Ayao!" Old Mrs. Zheng called out quickly.

Gu Zhiyao went straight to her and took her hand. "Grandma, didn't you say you'd be back tomorrow?"

"That was originally how it was, but I was getting anxious because you're getting married soon. I noticed Alan has been doing well these past few days, and she asked me to come back early, so I..."

"Is Grandma Lan alright? Is everything alright?" Gu Zhiyao asked.

"That's how it is when you get old, but I should be able to hold on for another two years. It's a pity I can't attend your wedding. Oh, by the way, this is what she gave you. She said this jade pendant is her family heirloom. Wearing it protected her throughout her life. Now she's passing that protection on to you, and it will also bless you with a life free from illness and pain." The old lady took out a jade pendant and handed it to Gu Zhiyao.

Gu Zhiyao immediately burst into tears.

Actually, she had never met Granny Lan. She had only often heard her grandmother talk about her. Granny Lan and her grandmother had gone through a period of escape together and were like sisters.

Grandma Lan had seen through the vanities of the world in her life. In her later years, she lived in a nunnery in the countryside, chanting scriptures and praying for her grandmother every day. After learning that her grandmother had recognized her, she continued to chant scriptures and pray for her.

"After the wedding, I'll find some time to visit her with you," Gu Zhiyao said, moved.

“Okay, she’s been wanting to see you for a while. Bring the children along too. The Bodhisattva there is very efficacious. Pray to her and ask her to bless you with a worry-free life.”

"Yes."

Next, Gu Zhiyao chatted with the old lady. After lunch, He Yi went back to the company first, and Grandma He simply asked Grandma Zheng to move in, which the old lady agreed to.

A few days later, the wedding day officially arrived.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, Gu Zhiyao still couldn't help feeling nervous and worried when the moment actually arrived.

According to custom, she will return to the house of Old Mrs. Zheng tonight and stay in the room where her mother used to live.

Grandma Zheng got up early to watch her get ready. Seeing how stunningly beautiful she looked in her wedding dress, she shed tears of emotion.

"I never saw your mother get married, and I always regretted it. Now that I can see you like this, it makes up for that regret in my heart. Originally, it was a blessing for your mother, but now your grandmother is transferring it all to you. I believe your mother in heaven will be pleased. Yao, remember to take good care of yourself and be happy every day. Your relationship with Yi is hard-won, so you should cherish it even more."

Your mother has a strong personality and is used to being spoiled at home. It's inevitable that she'll struggle to adapt to her new role, which will lead to various problems. You must remember this. Every man wants a gentle and loving wife. Although Ayi loves you, you're going to spend decades together. Even the deepest love can grow tired of each other over time. In the future, it will be your gentleness and consideration that will make him always remember this responsibility. Do you understand?

"Yes, I know, Grandma, don't worry, I'll be fine. Just like you said, we finally got together, and both of us will cherish this relationship. Even if there are disagreements in the future, we'll explain things clearly, work together to resolve them, and make up as before."

"It's good that you think this way. You and your mother are different after all, so Grandma really doesn't need to worry. Come on, drink the glutinous rice balls. May your days be full of happiness and love until you grow old together."

"Thank you, Grandma!"

Gu Zhiyao drank the glutinous rice balls and offered incense to her mother. Not long after, He Yi came to pick up the bride.

He was also dressed up specially today. A bespoke black suit made his tall and upright figure look even more straight and handsome, and his handsome face had the ability to charm everyone.

Gu Zhiyao was mesmerized.

He Yi gazed at her with deep affection, his eyes filled with amazement, joy, excitement, thrill, and happiness!

Yes, finally seeing her in a wedding dress, about to become his bride, his inseparable lover for the rest of his life!

"Honey, you look so beautiful today!" The deep, magnetic voice spoke slowly.

Gu Zhiyao continued to look at him sweetly, then playfully teased, "Are you only beautiful today?"

"Of course not, you're beautiful every day, but today, you're especially beautiful!" He Yi gently pressed her down, then kissed her red lips deeply, his voice husky, "I wish this were our wedding night, I could just rip your wedding dress off right now..."

Gu Zhiyao felt embarrassed, and a blush unconsciously rose to her cheeks. She subconsciously pushed him away.

He Yi chuckled softly, took her plump little hand and kissed it, saying, "Come on, let's go out."

He certainly couldn't just take the bride away so easily.

Lin Yu and her group of bridesmaids had already set up various challenges for the groom outside. Some of He Yi's childhood friends also came to help him. Although the challenges were difficult, they were all overcome one by one.

"Alright, next up is push-ups! People say you can tell if a woman is happy in her marriage by how many push-ups the groom can do! Mr. He, 120 in one minute, is that okay?" Lin Yu is indeed Lin Yu, she doesn't hold back at all when she's playing pranks.

120 in one minute?

Wow!

Some people couldn't wait to start whistling.

"Ah Yi, now's the time to show your skills. You've already had three kids, it would be embarrassing if you couldn't pull this off!"

"That's right! Our reputation as men depends on you, Ah Yi!"

His childhood friends started to tease him.

He Yi looked around at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Gu Zhiyao.

Gu Zhiyao's pretty face flushed, and her big, watery eyes revealed a hint of worry and concern as she wondered whether she should tell Lin Yu to stop fooling around.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yu seemed to see through her thoughts, walked to her side, and whispered, "You can't be sad. I'm in charge of these things today. You promised me."

Gu Zhiyao was both amused and exasperated. A few days ago, Lin Yu had told her that she would be in charge of the games during the bride-receiving ceremony. She thought it would be something simple, such as kneeling and reading a declaration of love, giving a large red envelope, or even hiding items for He Yi to find. But she never expected it to be this intense.

They had just made love again last night.

He Yi has been working overtime lately to prepare for the wedding.

On average, I get less than 5 hours of sleep a day.

She was genuinely a little worried.
