Chapter Sixteen: As You Wish

  Grandma Xi left a spiritual object with us to live together, I think it's incredible, but also curious, and I want to know if the wooden puppet will agree to Grandma Xi's request?!

  The wooden puppet listened to Grandma's words, turned his head and gazed at me. At this moment, the winter sun shone through his soft eyelashes onto his eyes, shining like stars.

  "Good."

  It's just a good word, spoken from the mouth of a wooden puppet, with a relaxed expression and a calm gaze.

  I stared at the wooden puppet in surprise, really couldn't believe he agreed so quickly, and hurriedly looked towards Grandma Xian:

  "Fine, fine grandma, leave him here, that..."

  My grandmother noticed my concerns and explained to me:

  "I'm not worried, what are you still worried about? They've already saved your life. If it were in the past, a girl's family would have to offer their daughter in marriage as a way of repaying the debt. Fortunately, Mu Yu is a spirit, otherwise, you and Su Huaifeng wouldn't have had a chance."

  Xīnǎinai's temper is very stubborn, I know I can't outtalk her. Moreover, Mù'ǒu really saved me, and if I continue to insist on this, it would make others think that I'm an ungrateful person who repays kindness with enmity. Seeing Xīnǎinai's determination to take Mù'ǒu along, I didn't say much more, just nodded my head and let Xīnǎinai have her way.

  When we entered the hotel, Xiao Nainai also brought the wooden puppet with her. The puppet was still wearing a white suit just like Su Huai Feng's. I walked beside him, feeling dwarfed by his height. However, he seemed very protective of me, helping me up and down the stairs, occasionally turning his head to look at me. Although I knew he wasn't a man, this gesture really warmed my heart. I even thought that if he were Su Huai Feng, I would be willing to walk with him on this red carpet for the rest of my life, even if it meant dying immediately after.

  After circling the banquet hall where our wedding was held, I didn't see Su Huaifeng and his mother's shadow. Instead, his relatives saw me and Xiuniang bringing a man wearing a groom's uniform from outside, with suspicious eyes all around. And Da Biao Ge rushed to us, pointing at Mu Ou, asking Xiuniang who this man was?

  Xīnǎinai very naturally smiled and patted the wooden puppet's arm, saying to Dàbiāogē:

  "Oh, this is my old sister's grandson! Today is Xiaoyue's wedding and I was thinking of having him be the best man, but didn't expect to arrive late. Hey, guess what? His clothes are the same as my nephew-in-law's, looks like they're really meant to be!"

  Xīnǎinai told such a lie, speaking fluently and without hesitation. Dàbiǎogē was not a person who liked to think deeply anyway, so he didn't suspect anything when he heard Xīnǎinai's words. He looked at the wooden puppet and chuckled, praising it for being well-made and much better than that kid surnamed Sū.

  I immediately lifted my foot and stepped heavily on my older brother's heel, he cried out in pain like a pig, the delicate grandmother had just explained the origin of the wooden puppet, the people around us also heard it and reduced their suspicion, but they were still looking at us, no, to be precise, they were looking at the wooden puppet, after a while, several young girls came over under the pretext of chatting with me and asked what the wooden puppet's name was? Where is his home?

  I knew their intention was not to really care, so I didn't say much. Mu Ou would look no different from a normal person at this point. Her figure and facial features could be said to be perfectly delicate in every detail. Not just women, even Da Shu Ge, that old man, couldn't help but stare at Mu Ou.

  "What are you staring at? No matter how much you stare, you're still a deputy idiot. Have you seen Su Huai Feng and his mother?"

  Big brother's attention was interrupted by Xiao Nainai, and he quickly turned his head back, laughing and saying that he had seen it. In the broadcast room, who knows what they were doing inside?

  "What's she up to, that shameless woman? I'll see how long she can keep being so smug!"

  The old lady was a person who loved to distinguish between good and evil, as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately pulled my hand towards the broadcasting room of the hotel. Mu Ou's face was numb, just like he couldn't see the young women around him, and he was pushed into his sister with a stiff expression, like a thoughtless robot, following my footsteps. Behind us, there were faint whispers scolding Mu Ou for being ill-mannered.

  I turned around and glanced at the girls behind me, too lazy to bother with this kind of person, gave them a disdainful look, smiled at Mu Ou, and ignored them from then on.

  When I reached the door of the broadcasting room, I faintly heard Su Huai Feng constantly asking her mom what was wrong, but Su Huai Feng's mom didn't say a word. It wasn't until Su Huai Feng asked for the third time that Xi Nai Nai suddenly pushed open the door of the broadcasting room and burst out laughing loudly:

  "Hey, brother-in-law! What are you doing here? This is going to make it easy for our little Yuè to find me!"

  When Grandma Xiao said this, the temperature in the broadcast room seemed to drop by several degrees instantly. After a while, Su Huai Feng's mother trembled and said:

  "You, you said Xiao Yue, how did she think of looking for me?!"

  "Alas, my niece is like that, she's just a bit cold towards outsiders, but actually her heart is still very good. She said that when you called her to the rooftop earlier, something fell off and she helped pick it up for you, wanting to return it to you."

  When Old Lady Xiao said this, I was standing by the wall and could imagine how frightened Su Huaifeng's mother must have looked. My heart felt a sudden relief, and taking advantage of Old Lady Xiao's words having just fallen, I slowly walked into the broadcasting room with my head slightly lowered, extending one hand that had been smeared with rooster blood from the kitchen to Su Huaifeng's mom:

  "It's yours, it fell from your hand."

  Su Huaifeng's mother stared at me with eyes wide open in terror, her gaze fixed on the ring lying on my bloody palm. This ordinary ring I had picked up somewhere else was enough to make her tremble with fear. Even if I wasn't holding anything in my hand, she would still be scared half to death by my presence! At this moment, Su Huaifeng's expression was the opposite of his mother's. His eyes were fixed on the wooden puppet behind me, a complex look of surprise and curiosity on his face, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

  Fortunately, everything went as I wished. A shrill scream came from the small broadcasting room, and Su Huaifeng's mother seemed to have gone mad, rushing into Su Huaifeng's arms and screaming loudly:

  "Hurry up and walk away, she's a ghost, she's here to harm me!......"

  I pretended to be ignorant, looked up at Su Huai Feng and walked towards her. Her mother was immediately frightened, as if she had a brain cramp, and violently bumped into the white wall behind her.

  A dull thud, a crimson streak of blood flowed down from the snowy white wall.
