Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1642

"These are the rules."

After Hannah finished speaking, she took a sip of water, her expression stern. "After the wedding, Juniper is a part of the Schwartz family. If you ever dare to do her wrong in the slightest, we will absolutely not spare you."

"Yes, Grandma," Shanley nodded.

"And also..."

Hannah wanted to say a few more words, but Juniper suddenly spoke up, "Grandma, I'm a little tired from sitting."

"My sweet darling is tired?" Hannah immediately switched to a beaming face and said softly, "Then let's skip the rest of this messy process and head straight to the wedding reception."

She still had to change into her wedding dress later, which would be another hassle.

"Mhm." Juniper stood up, pretended to glance at the person beside her, and blinked her eyelashes. "Grandma, I want Shanley to accompany me."

"Ah?" Hannah was stunned for a moment, almost unable to hold back her laughter, and hurriedly said, "Since Juniper asked, you can get up too."

"...Thank you, Grandma."

His legs were a bit stiff from kneeling too long. Shanley slowly stood up, grabbed Juniper's hand, and looked at her rather pitifully. "My status was already low to begin with, and after getting married, I have no status at all."

"Feeling that wronged?"

Juniper scratched his palm, slightly raising her elegant eyebrows, her red lips parting. "Should we just call off the wedding then?"

"We're getting married. Of course, we're getting married." Shanley's grip suddenly tightened, his tone firm and powerful. "I love having no status. I love being kept under you."

The way he phrased that last part sounded a bit off.

"Shameless."

Juniper glared at him. Shanley didn't get angry but smiled instead, telling the elders, "We'll head to the reception hall first."

—

At the reception hall.

Shanley sat in the lounge area, waiting for Juniper to change into her wedding dress.

Not long after.

The heavy white doors slowly opened, and Juniper, dressed in her bridal gown, came into view.

The wedding dress design was extremely simple and elegant, using layers of tulle to create a fluffy skirt that looked exactly like layers of blooming white flowers.

"What are you looking at?"

Juniper lifted her eyelids, shifting uncomfortably. "Does it look weird?"

She rarely wore such complicated outfits; she couldn't even walk properly.

"No."

Shanley wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her firmly into his embrace, his eyes profound. "You are so breathtakingly beautiful that I can't look away."

"Tch."

Juniper scoffed lightly, trying to push him away. "There seems to be an issue with the zipper in the back. Get the staff to help me check it."

"Your husband will check it for you."

Shanley stepped behind her and saw her beautiful shoulder blades, pale and delicate.

He leaned down and gently pulled up the white zipper with his teeth.

Because he was so close, his burning lips brushed against her skin.
