After escaping from marriage, he was taken in by the president gl

In Ning Zhiqian's eyes, Zhao Yinghou only has two images: one is holding Chu Yi in the room and begging for "don't break up" for a while, and she stares terribly when seeing her after a while, and the other is Zhao Yinghou He was photographed kissing other people in the street, and said "celebrate the first anniversary".

To this day, she still gets angry when she thinks about it.

Yiyi is so good, Zhao Yinghou is still here!hack!leg!

Ning Zhiqian could even understand why she had to play a "wife" scene when she saw a stranger like her.This feeling of being betrayed would make anyone angry, and it would be mild to ridicule for a while, but he would hit someone directly when his temper exploded.

Later, Zhao Yinghou was going to get married and wanted to order a wedding cake. She was invited by the wedding planner, but her first reaction was to refuse.She didn't like Zhao Yinghou, and she didn't want the cake she made to appear at the wedding banquet of a couple who built their happiness on other people's pain.

Ning Zhiqian felt that there was nothing wrong with her making this decision. She never thought that Qiao would think that she was picking customers, and her sister also felt that she should not give up in vain.

When I was at my sister's house.My sister didn't let her wash the dishes, but only gave her the task of wiping the water.The two stood side by side, and it was an ordinary daily chat. She talked about her troubles about whether to take the order. When the elder sister heard it, she put down the things in her hand, "Qianqian, don't think about others first, ask yourself what you want. I don't want to take it."

Ning Zhiqian was distressed, "I don't know."

"You know." My sister touched the small scar on her hand that was not yet fully healed, "Just like when you went abroad to study without hesitation, you have your own ideas, but you can't see them clearly because of the temporary influence of others."

Ning Zhiqian pursed her lips and remained silent.

"You work so hard because you want to do better and become famous. It is really a good opportunity to design and complete a wedding cake for an influential person. If you give up, when can you wait for the next one?"

Ning Zhiqian thought of Qiao's same regretful tone, and her heart was even more shaken.

"You and Chewie have a good talk," my sister said. "I want you to take it, but I don't want you to take it for me and Joe Cavill."

On the way back, Ning Zhiqian was inconvenient to tell Chu Yi about it because of the inconvenience of someone in the front seat.It would not be a good mood to say such a thing, she felt that she had to coax Chu Yi, get out of the car first, and planned to prepare some hot tea and snacks before talking.

Who would have thought that Zhao Yinghou would appear suddenly.

As soon as Ning Zhiqian entered, she could tell from the back that it was Zhao Yinghou.She was already disgusted with Zhao Yinghou, but when she saw that this person who was sorry for Chu Yi appeared in Chu Yi's house carelessly, she became angry, rushed forward to suppress her, and yelled fiercely.

From the moment she started, Ning Zhiqian had no intention of taking the birthday cake order.

But she doesn't regret it.

"What are you doing!" Auntie rushed over, Zhao Yuxin struggled to stand up with the support, the first thing she did after finishing her hair was to ask Ning Zhiqian, "If you don't see clearly, do it!"

"The room is so dark, I misread it and thought it was a thief." Ning Zhiqian apologized without sincerity, "I'm sorry."

Zhao Yuxin said angrily, "How do I look like a thief? Besides, this is Chu Yi's house. What qualifications do you have to catch a thief?"

"Who said no." Chu Yi said suddenly, "She is the master here."

Zhao Yuxin was taken aback, "Have you lived with her?"

"En!" Ning Zhiqian was full of fighting spirit, and took the initiative to hold Chu Yi's arm, "This is our home."

She squeezed her throat deliberately, and tilted her head to rub against Chu Yi.Chu Yi also cooperated, stretching out his hand to wrap her in his arms, rubbing her head and bowing her head to speak, her lips were on her forehead as if they were kissing.

They showed off their affection vigorously, Zhao Yinghou just replied lightly, "Oh."

"..." Ning Zhiqian felt uncomfortable, and asked with a straight face, "What are you doing here?"

She was fierce, but Zhao Yuxin put away her eccentric tone and explained calmly, "I have something to do with you, and I only walked in with Auntie's permission."

The aunt who was waiting next to her was even more embarrassed when they saw her, "Mr. Chu said that she can enter."

As soon as Ning Zhiqian heard it, she knew that her aunt didn't watch entertainment news, she didn't know about Zhao Yinghou breaking up with Chu Yi, and Chu Yi didn't explain clearly, so she still thought that Zhao Yuxin was on the list of people allowed to enter, so she let her go enter the door.

"I see." Chu Yi didn't make things difficult for her aunt, "Go and pour some water."

Auntie said hello, turned around and slipped into the kitchen.

"I'm very busy." Chu Yi sent her aunt away, took Ning Zhiqian to sit on the sofa and started to dismiss her cheating ex-girlfriend, "Please go back."

Zhao Yuxin smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm not here to look for you. What I'm looking for is the talented pastry chef next to you."

Ning Zhiqian was confused when a high hat came down.She looked at Zhao Yuxin suspiciously, and found that he was wearing a ponytail, light makeup, light sportswear, white cloth shoes, and a simple leisure bag. It really seems to be here to talk about things.

"What's the matter with you?" Ning Zhiqian deliberately changed into a beautiful dress before going to her sister's house, and put on makeup to enhance her complexion. She felt that it was safe for her to crush the casually dressed Zhao Yinghou, and Chu Yi was beside her to support her. , I feel extremely comfortable and have the patience to listen to what Zhao Yinghou is going to do.

Zhao Yuxin took a seat and sat down on her own, "Can you help me make a wedding cake?"

"Why?" Ning Zhiqian didn't like to ask the question in front of the wedding planner, so there's no need to hide it before the Lord. "We had a festival, and we had a fight just now. You let others not look for it, but you came to look for it I?"

"Because you are the most suitable."

"Really?" Ning Zhiqian was dubious, "You like my work so much?"

Zhao Yuxin is an honest person, "To be honest, I just like it generally. But your level is definitely above average, and you have advantages that others can't replace."

"What advantage?"

Zhao Yuxin's eyes wandered around Chu Yi's arm, and she paused before saying, "You haven't made a wedding cake."

Ning Zhiqian couldn't understand even more, "Do you like to find newbies?"

"Ah."

The words are straightforward, but the expression is not like that.Ning Zhiqian saw that Zhao Yuxin's words were insincere, frowned, vaguely felt that there was a hole in it, and gave the same answer as before, "Please let me think about it for three more days."

"Okay." Zhao Yuxin stood up and even bowed slightly to her, "I hope you put aside your prejudices and think about it carefully. My family likes your cake very much, and I want to fulfill her wish."

Ning Zhiqian looked at Zhao Yinghou who bowed her head to show weakness, and felt even weirder.

After the matter was finished, Zhao Yuxin had no intention of staying, put down the gift she brought and left.As soon as the aunt brought the tea, she found that the guest had left and thought the conversation had broken down, so she quickly apologized to Chu Yi, "Mr. Chu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let people in without asking clearly."

"It's okay." Chu Yi said, "Just call me later and ask."

"it is good."

"Rest first, Qianqian and I have something to talk about."

Auntie retreated consciously.

There were only the two of them left around, and Ning Zhiqian could finally ask the question that she had held back for a long time, "What kind of hole is Zhao Yinghou digging?"

"It shouldn't be digging a hole." Chu Yi frowned, "She is not someone who asks for help easily."

"But she's lying to us. How could someone hire a couple to make a wedding cake?"

Chu Yi smiled, and tapped her nose, "Qianqian, she did lie, but she didn't necessarily mean it maliciously."

"Really?" Ning Zhiqian found that Chu Yi was not vigilant at all, and her doubts seemed to be thinking too much, which was quite unpleasant, "You know her very well."

Chuy circled her into his arms, and coaxed her softly, "No way. I don't know her very well, I'm just guessing."

"Then what did you guess?"

"She's looking for you because you like the same sex."

"..." Ning Zhiqian was stunned, "Is it because of this?"

Chu Yi had a strong desire to survive, and added, "There is still a high level."

"Hmm..." Ning Zhiqian didn't care about this flattery, and fell into deep thought, "If that's the case, it's really hard for her to find a suitable dessert chef. Strange, if it's for this reason, I feel better..."

She chanted, and Chu Yi laughed when she heard it, "Qianqian, are you discussing with me or talking to yourself?"

"Of course it's a discussion." Ning Zhiqian turned around, "If you mind, I won't answer if you kill me."

Chu Yi still said, "I listen to you."

"I have to observe." Ning Zhiqian thought for several rounds today, and she was no longer at a loss, "Make sure there is no hole in it and then pick it up."

"it is good."

"Go to sleep now!" Ning Zhiqian stretched, "I'm so tired."

Chu Yi didn't let go of her arm, but tightened it up.

Ning Zhiqian leaned over to Chu Yi's side, and was hugged tightly.Being attached again, she gained experience, rubbed against Chu Yi to make the atmosphere better, and said softly and coquettishly, "Yi Yi, good boy, it's time to go to bed."

"It's only 9:09." Chuy tilted his head and kissed her on the cheek, "Stay with me."

Ning Zhiqian had no choice but to say, "Didn't you just listen to me?"

Chu Yi was quite reasonable, "I'm up to you about the cake, the rest..."

The rest of the words were replaced by delicate kisses, Ning Zhiqian was pushed onto the sofa, she turned her face to hide, but the hem of her clothes rolled up instead.The coldness of the night crept in, making her tremble.She wanted to pull it well, but when she raised her hand, it was clenched tightly against Chu Yi's heart, and the cold place was covered by warm and soft hands, and her fingers moved dexterously.

"Huh?" Ning Zhiqian snorted, trying to drive away the thing that was tickling her, and pushed hard.

boom.

Chewie was just pushed off the sofa.

"I'm sorry!" Ning Zhiqian was startled, and quickly helped her up, "Does it hurt from the fall?"

Chu Yi said angrily, "Yes, my heart hurts."

"Ah?" Ning Zhiqian said in confusion, "Shall I rub it for you?"

Chuey pressed her hand, "I'm just kidding."

"Oh." Ning Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief, and then made an inappropriate joke, "Yiyi, you are as thin and weak as Zhao Yinghou, and you will fall down when you push."

"..." Chu Yi's expression darkened.

Ning Zhiqian felt that she had made a mistake, and said weakly, "I'm sorry."

"Don't say I'm sorry," Chuy smiled again, pinching her face, "Let's go, it's time to sleep."

"Yes!" Ning Zhiqian happily replied.

Yiyi finally stopped being clingy and was willing to sleep.

However, Chu Yi, who was supposed to go to bed obediently, returned to her room without even looking at the bed. She walked to the mirror and pulled up her sleeves to look at her thin white arms. She frowned and picked up her mobile phone to make a call.

"Secretary Fang, I'm going to the gym tomorrow, help me arrange a coach."

-

On a busy weekend, Ning Zhiqian has a full schedule, but she has been upgraded from basic work to being Joe's right arm and right arm. She can do some technical work, and she doesn't have to worry about it.

The work content has changed slightly, but the overtime hours are still the same.She was worried that she had left Chu Yi in the cold, and planned to hug Chu Yi casually on the way to and from get off work.She was mentally prepared, but Chu Yi was not as interested as before. She either held hands or leaned on shoulders. After getting off the car, she just hugged her without too much entanglement.

"Yiyi." Ning Zhiqian finished her busy weekend and had some free time, so she had a heart-to-heart talk with Chu Yi after returning home, "Are you angry?"

Chu Yi was taken aback by her question, "Why do you say that?"

Ning Zhiqian said bluntly, "You are not as clingy as before."

"Because I'm tired."

"A lot of work?"

"Yeah." Chu Yi said, and leaned over to hug her again, "I'm so tired."

Ning Zhiqian felt distressed, and raised her arms to hug back. When she touched Chu Yi's arm, she heard a short moan, "Hey? Does your hand hurt?"

"acid."

"why?"

Chuy said nothing.

Ning Zhiqian thought about Chu Yi's working environment, and thought it was caused by sitting at the desk for a long time.She is quite experienced in this and said, "May I give you a massage? I used to have backaches and backaches just after my internship, so I asked a massage therapist to give me advice. She taught me this technique. Get comfortable."

Chu Yi sat up quickly, and the light in her eyes did not lose the light in her eyes when she touched the sore place, "Okay, do you want to take off your clothes?"

Seeing that Chu Yi's hands were all buttoned up, Ning Zhiqian was so frightened that she quickly pulled them back, "No need."

"Oh." Chuy replied, with a disappointed tone.

Ning Zhiqian didn't think much about it, and asked with concern, "Where does it hurt?"

"Here." Chuy patted his shoulder.

Ning Zhiqian motioned for Chu Yi to turn around, "I'll pinch for you."

Chu Yi was obedient, and pushed her hair to the left, exposing her thin, white neck.

It was obviously an ordinary movement, but Ning Zhiqian inexplicably felt that it was more tempting than taking off her clothes when she looked at it. She shyly looked away, raised her hand and tapped Chu Yi's stiff shoulder a few times, "Here?"

"Hmm." Chuy replied sullenly, slightly hoarse.

This voice was hoarse, as if it had penetrated into my heart, very provocative.

Ning Zhiqian suddenly couldn't remember the movements she had learned before, so she kneaded and kneaded a few times at random, expecting the next heart-pounding moan.Chu Yi didn't say a word, and waited quietly, shaking slightly when she moved more vigorously, as if she was about to fall down at any time.

"How do you feel?" Ning Zhiqian worried that Chu Yi was enduring the pain, so she asked.

Chu Yi said in a low voice, "It's okay."

Ning Zhiqian didn't believe it, and kept pinching her shoulders, but at the same time moved closer to see Chu Yi's expression.

"Huh?" Chu Yi suddenly let go and hummed the tune she wanted to hear, and then fell into her arms.

Ning Zhiqian was in a trance, and let Chu Yi lie down on her leg.

"What are you doing?" She lowered her head and met Chu Yi's smiling eyebrows, "Don't press it?"

Chu Yi turned to face her, stretched out her arms and buried them in her arms, refusing to come out, "Yes."

"Always umm." Ning Zhiqian wanted to push it away, but she couldn't do anything, so she just let Chu Yi cling to her, and she patted her soft hair to enjoy herself for a while, "I can't talk anymore."

Chu Yi also answered in a nasal voice, "Yeah."

"Isn't it uncomfortable to lie down like this?" Ning Zhiqian glanced at the pillow not far away, "Do you want a cushion?"

Chewie shook her head.

Ning Zhiqian found that Chu Yi really didn't want to talk anymore, so she chuckled, "That's it?"

"Ok!"

Ning Zhiqian didn't take the initiative to speak anymore, she fixed her eyes on Chu Yi, waiting for the other party to speak up.

Chu Yi didn't make her wait too long, and called out with a smile, "Qianqian."

The words are pronounced clearly, and the final sound is drawn out for a long time, as if a child learning to speak only calls her name.Ning Zhiqian knew she was naive, but she still curled her lips when she heard it, and responded sweetly, "Hey."

Chu Yi sat up and kissed the corner of her smiling lips.

Ning Zhiqian didn't feel too sticky this time, because she also wanted to pester Chu Yi.

hum-

Ning Zhiqian felt the phone vibrate in her pocket, afraid it was her sister, she patted Chu Yi to signal to leave.Chu Yi sucked it in a still unfinished way, and held the phone with her clasped hand, rubbing it back and forth and even pinching it.

"Hmph, disobedient." Ning Zhiqian blushed from the last pinch, and turned her back to pick it up.

Chu Yi shamelessly leaned forward, hugged her from behind, and listened to the phone together with her pillow on her shoulder.

Ning Zhiqian realized that it was her sister who was calling, she cleared her throat and answered, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"Qianqian, I heard that there was a problem with the system last week, and there will be a lot of people queuing up tomorrow." My sister said, "If possible, can you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check the situation first?"

"No problem." Ning Zhiqian readily agreed, said a few more words to her sister, and hung up the phone.She checked the address and wrote it down in the memo along with the time. She carefully checked it three times.

Just don't look at Chewie.

"Qianqian." Chu Yi asked, "Are you not taking me?"

Ning Zhiqian still remembered the last trembling pinch, and said angrily, "So what if I don't wear it."

"If you don't take it, I will follow." Chu Yi hugged him even tighter, "I can't shake it off."

Ning Zhiqian was about to be strangled, and surrendered, "Okay, let's go together."

Chewie finally calmed down.

Tomorrow, I will accompany my sister to go through the divorce procedures. The matter is serious. Chu Yi is clingy but can tell the situation clearly. After sending her to the door of the room, she asked for a good night kiss and went back satisfied.

After a busy weekend, Ning Zhiqian coaxed her girlfriend for a long time, she lay down and fell asleep exhausted physically and mentally.At dawn, the biological clock allows her to wake up early without an alarm clock.She finished washing up quickly, thinking of Chu Yi's stickiness, she didn't put on makeup, so she went downstairs to have breakfast first.

Chu Yi also got up early, put on a very imposing black overcoat, and went downstairs as if to fight.I don't know if this dress is too handsome, Chu Yi put away the stickiness of wanting to kiss and hug, said good morning calmly, ate breakfast calmly, and gave good morning kisses all on the back of her hand.

"What's the matter with you?" Ning Zhiqian wanted to laugh inexplicably, "Going to fight?"

Chu Yi snorted softly, "Be bold and let your ex-brother-in-law know that your sister has a backer."

"The ex-brother-in-law is very good." Ning Zhiqian was puzzled, "Just sign today, and nothing will happen."

Chuy didn't say a word, and gave her a piece of pancake.

They were in charge of going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the car was waiting in the yard on time. The driver was still the same, but the person in the passenger seat was replaced by Assistant Lin.Ning Zhiqian thought that the hotel needed Secretary Fang to sit in charge, so she didn't think much about it. She heard Assistant Lin, who was more active, introduce the road conditions in a crisp and cheerful voice, "Let's take Linbei Road, and then take the trail at the Moyuting intersection. It will be sure in four to 10 minutes. I can arrive."

"En." Chu Yi remembered to ask Ning Zhiqian at this moment, "Shall we help line up?"

"I don't know." Ning Zhiqian had never been to the Civil Affairs Bureau, so she was a little apprehensive.

Chu Yi saw her uneasiness and shook hands, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ning Zhiqian nodded, planning to follow Chu Yi.

Assistant Lin was not as strong as Secretary Fang. He checked the road conditions, but he didn't know to investigate the situation near the Civil Affairs Bureau.This is an old city, with narrow roads and limited parking spaces. People who work on business shuttle back and forth, and the small road to enter is blocked so that drivers can't drive in at all.

Ning Zhiqian and Chu Yi got bored after staying for a while, opened the door and got out of the car, intending to see what was going on ahead.

They walked hand in hand, facing the moderate morning breeze, surrounded by busy breakfast shops, uncles and aunts who just came back from exercise, students running to school quickly, and office workers who kept walking. I can smell the breath of life that belongs only to the morning, turn my eyes to look, and look at the person I like tacitly, and feel a sense of happiness that I will grow old forever.

Ning Zhiqian was in a good mood and was about to hum a little song.

They were then stopped by security.

"Wait." The security guard looked at their tightly holding hands, with a strange expression on his face, "What are you doing here?"

Ning Zhiqian felt baffled, Chu Yi turned cold, "Do something."

"What are you going to do?" The security guard said, "If you are getting a marriage certificate, it's impossible. Please go back."

Assistant Lin at the back noticed that there was trouble and rushed forward, "Brother, no, we're here to do something else."

Assistant Lin smiled, and the security guard put away his questioning tone, "Oh, let's go in."

There was chaos all around, although Ning Zhiqian and Chu Yi felt that the security guards were behaving strangely, they didn't have time to ask more questions, and were going to go inside to see what was going on.As soon as they left, a menacing voice shouted from behind, "How can they go in?"

"Ouch." The security guard said helplessly, "They come to do other things, which are different from you."

Ning Zhiqian turned her head, feeling that the person confronting the security guard looked familiar.

"Oh." Chu Yi answered her doubts, "Zhao Yuxin's fiancée."

"Ah?!" Ning Zhiqian was startled, she rubbed her eyes and took a closer look.

Indeed, that person is the recently exposed "actress new love", director Lin, Lin Zhen.He is tall, with short hair, and he is neither fat nor thin. Standing in front of the security guards, the most recognizable features are the facial features that are so delicate that people can tell that they are women, and the black skull on the left ear. Earrings, from a distance, it looks like a hole is missing in the ear.

As soon as the photo of the passionate kiss came out, everyone's attention was focused not only on the weird earrings, but also on the name of this person's director.Lin Zhen said that he is the director, but in fact there are only two works, one is a graduation work and the other is an online movie. The level is not good, but he is very popular because of his neutral dress and his status as a rich second generation.After the exposure, people flocked to the Weibo of the person involved to watch, and found that this person was very infatuated with Zhao Yinghou, and threatened: "My heroine is only Zhao Yuxin."

However, Zhao Yinghou, who was at her peak, would not turn down the director's invitation to be the heroine of a bad movie.This relationship was ridiculed as a joke. Who would have thought that Zhao Yuxin and Lin Zhen would really have a wedding.

When they turned their heads, Lin Zhen also looked over, and frowned when he saw Chu Yi.

"Let's go." Ning Zhiqian didn't like the hostile gaze, "Let's go in and have a look."

Chewie said hello.

Most of the people queuing up and tossing are here to get married, and few couples are divorced.Ning Zhiqian was relieved, and went out to call her sister. While talking, she took Chu Yi to a place where there were few people, hiding from the prospective couples who wanted to take pictures.

Lin Zhen came over at this time, and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Chu."

"Hello." Chu Yi smiled lightly, protecting Ning Zhiqian behind her, "What's the matter?"

Lin Zhen curled her lips, her eyes kept wandering around Ning Zhiqian, "Don't you think it's unfair? Why can't two women get a certificate?"

Ning Zhiqian felt uncomfortably stared at, and grabbed Chu Yi, "Let's go."

"Sorry, I have something to do." Chuy said, "Let's go first."

Lin Zhen stood in front of them, "Hey, forget it if you don't want to talk about it. Ma'am, you are the pastry chef Yu Xin mentioned, right? Please help us make the wedding cake, please."

Ning Zhiqian felt that Lin Zhen was terribly eager, so she found a reason to run away, "I'll do things first, and I'll give you an answer later."

Lin Zhen dejectedly lowered her head and said, "Oh, there are no witnesses, no family members, no guests, and now I can't even invite a pastry chef..."

Ning Zhiqian was left behind by the crying voice, "What... do you mean?"

"It's hard to talk here." Lin Zhen noticed that the security guard not far away was coming to chase people away, and handed over a business card, "This is my business card. If you want to help us make cakes, please call this number, I'm free anytime .”

Chewie helped with the next step.

Ning Zhiqian looked at it and found that Lin Zhen's business card was very crude - no sense of design, two lines of white characters on a dark background, which were name and mobile phone number.

"It's weird." Chu Yi frowned.

Ning Zhiqian agreed, but seeing Lin Zhen's back trying to avoid the security guards, she thought of calling to ask.

Not long after, my sister and ex-brother-in-law came to go through the formalities.The ex-brother-in-law is in good spirits, without the hostility in the image of Chu Yi who insists on being superior, and has a gentle attitude. When he got the divorce certificate, he blessed his sister, "Come on, let's fulfill your dream."

Ning Zhiqian was confused, and then asked her sister, "What dream."

"Live alone." My sister answered casually, and then said with a smile, "Shall we go have a meal?"

Of course Ning Zhiqian agreed.

The divorce was a big matter, and it only took one morning. They went home to rest after having a meal.

Ning Zhiqian was in a daze, and was led away by Chu Yi.

"Qianqian?" Chu Yi touched her forehead, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"Hmm... not really uncomfortable, just a little dizzy."

"why?"

"It feels so unreal." Ning Zhiqian sighed, "My sister spent a whole day organizing the wedding, which was very lively, but the divorce only took a few minutes, and they are no longer husband and wife after obtaining a certificate... Is divorce so simple?"

Chu Yi chuckled, "It's not easy, it's as difficult as getting married."

Ning Zhiqian thought of what the security guard said, and suddenly felt a little melancholy, "Yes, it's very difficult. Some people can't get married at all, and they will even be stopped outside the door."

She spoke more and more quietly, and lowered her head, staring at the carpet pattern in front of Chu's house in a daze.

Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out to hug her.

"Ah!" Ning Zhiqian was taken aback by the feeling of soaring into the air, and when she regained her composure, she slapped Chu Yi angrily, "What are you doing?"

Chu Yi didn't let go, and carried her into the house before saying, "Carry the bride into the door."

Ning Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, then coaxed into submission by the gentle eyes, she cupped her face and gave a mouthful.

"Dear the bride."
