[Vol. 7] Chapter 167

It was an understatement if I said I was flustered. I was so shy that I wanted dig the steps Arashi was climbing and hid there for the rest of my life.

Arashi had started to take the steps as people around us cheered and threw flowers at us. Hana, Hiroshi, Kairo, Shin and Yoshi along with my maids were behind him as he carried me.

The whole time my face was down because I knew they were winking at us or giving us teasing smiles.

I asked in a low voice as my face was near him, "Is—is this really the traditional marriage ritual or is it to make the bride flustered so they won't leave the room for the rest of their lives?"

Arashi chuckled as he said, "Both."

I couldn't even look at his eyes as my ears and cheeks were burning and my heart was wrecking havoc in my chest.

I said, "I'm heavy now. You will injure your back!"

"You don't even weigh that much but I have to say, you certainly gained weight."

I looked up at him with a pout. "Then why don't you just put me down?"
