Shannon gave me a sidelong glance and sneered, "Does it really matter if I'm happy or not? You've already made the decision to marry him." "I don't understand why you're so fixated on one man when there are so many men in the world." "Aren't you afraid that his ex-wife will cause trouble again in the future? She never forgets a grudge." Listening to Shannon's constant chatter, along with her frustrated yet concerned expression, I felt both helpless and deeply moved. I knew that deep down, she was just worried about me, afraid that I would be taken advantage of or hurt in the future. As a friend, Shannon has always been there for me. No matter when, she always stands by my side and considers my well-being. The saying "quality over quantity" truly applies to Shannon. So even though she didn't say anything positive in her long rant just now, I didn't feel angry because I knew she meant well. I tightly held onto her arm and said earnestly, "Of course it matters! Even though we're best friends, after all these years of being together, I consider you family." "I'm getting married to Dominic Hartnell, and besides the blessings from our parents, your blessing is also essential to me." I spoke with a serious and solemn expression, but Shannon couldn't hold it in and burst into laughter. "You're overthinking it. If I didn't wish you happiness, would you not get married?" Her words caught me off guard for a moment, and after a brief pause, I stubbornly replied, "Then I won't get married. I've already said that I consider you family, and without the blessings of family for such a major life event, how can it turn out well?"Upon hearing this, Shannon looked at me with a teasing gaze. "Are you being serious? No regrets? Then let's go tell Dominic Hartnell right now that you're not marrying him." I stumbled over my words, feeling a bit flustered. "No, it's not like that, I..." Shannon couldn't bear to listen any longer and abruptly interrupted me. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Girl, I wish you happiness, you must be happy. If he dares to mistreat you, I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind." Listening to Shannon's stern but well-intentioned words, my eyes welled up. "Well, if Dominic Hartnell dares to mistreat me, we'll stand up to him together!" As soon as she finished speaking, Dominic Hartnell's deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded in my ear, "Wife." I turned around and saw him walking towards me, naturally wrapping his arm around my waist."Wife, everyone is waiting to congratulate us." I nodded quickly and pulled Shannon aside, "Ah, I'm going to chat with Shannon." Shannon coolly said, "You're quite used to calling her 'wife', huh? You two haven't even tied the knot yet. Be careful, I might just take away my Liliana Zanetti in a minute, hmph!" With that, Shannon took my arm and led the way. Feeling a bit awkward, I looked back at Dominic Hartnell, but fortunately, he didn't seem angry and his expression remained calm. Turning back, I whispered to Shannon, "Didn't you just bless me? Can't you be a bit nicer to him for my sake?" Shannon snorted coldly, "I'll be polite to him when you're officially married. Otherwise, he might think he can mistreat you once he has you." I was speechless in an instant, I had to admit that she had a point. Dominic Hartnell wasn't as bad as she described him, really... Although Shannon spoke rudely, she voluntarily let go of my arm when we reached the private room door and stood aside, as if giving up her seat for Dominic Hartnell. I smiled, this woman was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, making it hard for me to express my love for her. Dominic Hartnell, who had been following us all along, stood beside me at the right moment and put his arm around my waist. I looked at him and saw a faint smile on his face. "Let's go in." I nodded, and only then did he push open the dark red door. As soon as we walked into the room, there were suddenly several loud bangs, followed by colorful confetti falling in front of my eyes. I was startled, and before I could recover, I heard several people congratulating and blessing me one after another.James Dalton, Benjamin Chance, Jason Miller, Yvonne Baker, and Calvin Merchant were all there. "Sister-in-law, congratulations! You've finally been brought back home by the boss." I blinked, a little puzzled, and asked, "Dominic Hartnell is your boss? I never noticed before." James Dalton replied with a smile, "We're all the same age, just born in different months. But we made a deal that whoever gets married and brings home a wife first becomes the boss." "Well, congratulations to your husband then." I laughed, realizing that it could work this way too. I learned something new. Dominic Hartnell led me to the sofa and handed me a glass of juice before speaking, "You have the phone numbers of all of them, right? If you need anything in the future, just ask them to run errands for you. It's a perk of being their sister-in-law." I couldn't help but smile. Each of these four men is considered a top-notch catch in the eyes of others, but why do they all seem so childish to me? Yvonne Baker approached me with a glass of wine and raised her glass, "Congratulations! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness. You must keep a close eye on him, so he doesn't go fooling around with other girls and then blame them for not being reserved." I couldn't help but burst into laughter at her words. They made so much sense. Dominic Hartnell rhythmically patted my back and his words contained a hidden warning, "Yutian, pregnant women shouldn't get too excited." Yvonne Baker confidently smiled and said, "Maintaining a good mood is beneficial for both the mother and the baby. That way, the baby will be a smiling cutie when it's born. Otherwise, if it looks like an ice block with a black face like you, how ugly would that be?" "Hahaha... I can't take it anymore, Dr. Baker, please stop. You're killing me... hahaha!" What should I do? How come I never noticed before that Yvonne Baker is so good at teasing Dominic Hartnell? "Wife, stop laughing. It's not good for you to run out of breath," Dominic Hartnell's voice was filled with helplessness. I also wanted to stop, but I couldn't control myself. An ice block with a black face... this description strangely suits me. While I burst into uncontrollable laughter, Yvonne Baker clinked her glass against mine and flashed a smile, saying, "Don't be so formal, just call me Yutian." I nodded enthusiastically, my face beaming with smiles. Finally, Calvin Merchant also extended his congratulations, but he maintained a more formal demeanor. There was no escaping it, this young man couldn't shed his professional role. In fact, it was evident that Dominic Hartnell didn't view him merely as an assistant or bodyguard, given that he had specifically invited him today. As the wine continued to flow and emotions intensified, the atmosphere gradually reached its climax. At that moment, Dominic Hartnell approached Shannon with a glass in hand.
