Chapter 120: “Ah Fei, Let Me Belong to You.”
Tonight was destined to be a restless night.
After exchanging breaths and rings, they sat in the chapel for a long time, calming their pounding hearts. But this trembling that originated from their souls… was truly difficult to calm, so much so that as soon as they left the chapel, they shared another kiss under the shadow of the trees.
The moment they parted, Ming Fei pursed her lips slightly, her almond eyes sparkling, her heart as sweet as honey.
“…Jiejie.”
Zhu Yiqiao: “Mm.”
Ming Fei called her again: “Chief Judge Zhu.”
Zhu Yiqiao responded: “Mm.”
Ming Fei changed her address again: “…Zhu Yiqiao.”
The person called by her name stopped, their intertwined hands interlocking perfectly.
“Mm.” There was a smile in the corners of her eyes. “What do you want to ask?”
Ming Fei’s lips curved upwards: “Just calling your name.”
Every time she called out, every time she heard the response, honey seemed to flow through her veins, so sweet that she couldn’t help but smile.
She said, “I’m very happy.”
Zhu Yiqiao: “Me too, very happy.”
The clear moonlight drifted with the wind. Ming Fei shook Zhu Yiqiao’s hand and asked, happy and curious,
“What was Jiejie’s wish about?”
Zhu Yiqiao, however, asked her back, “Why didn’t you make a wish?”
Ming Fei was honest: “Because the one who truly controls my wishes, the one who can make them come true, is right beside me.”
After saying that, Ming Fei turned and kissed her: “Just ten minutes ago, my wish came true.”
What that wish was was self-evident.
Zhu Yiqiao still asked, “What was it?”
Ming Fei smiled and said, “It was Jiejie saying ‘yes,’ willing to start a real new life with me.”
Fate was truly wonderful. Half a year ago, she had been hoping for this year to pass quickly, planning to pack her things and leave as soon as the contract expired, never disturbing Zhu Yiqiao’s life. Now—
She wanted to stay, wanted to begin, wanted to be bound together for a lifetime, and she was happy about it.
Thinking of this, the smile in Ming Fei’s eyes deepened: “You’ve already answered.”
“It wasn’t a wish,” Zhu Yiqiao said, word by word, “It was a vow.”
“On the second night at the manor, Xue Xun and I came here, and the vow I made was about you.”
“Coming here again tonight, I knew my vow would soon come true.”
Ming Fei’s heart stirred, and she kissed Zhu Yiqiao again.
She was easily flustered by Zhu Yiqiao’s gaze, actions, and words, and tonight was even more so, her heart pounding like a drum, wanting to… kiss her whenever their eyes met.
But—
She couldn’t kiss her anymore.
If they kissed again, it would be… too obvious. Zhu Yiqiao’s lips were already slightly swollen, and so were hers.
Just like this, they walked to the edge of the giant wood forest, to the hovercar parking spot, and only after Ming Fei took out the flowers she had prepared from the trunk did they share another kiss.
The blue roses in Xianyun City were a soft blue, the moonlight on the petals and stamens creating a soft blue starlight.
Zhu Yiqiao held the bouquet: “The flowers are beautiful, thank you, Ah Fei.”
After saying that, she walked to the storage compartment on the other side and took out the bouquet of Xianglan green roses she had prepared for Ming Fei. As she walked to Ming Fei, Ming Fei smiled gently at her.
“So we both had secret wishes tonight.”
Zhu Yiqiao replied, “Mm, does this secret need to be spoken out loud?”
Ming Fei’s almond eyes curved into a smile: “Expression isn’t limited to words, Jiejie, why don’t you write it in the Love Diary with Kitten?”
“No—”
Ming Fei thought for a moment: “Wait a little longer, let’s change the name after the wedding.”
Zhu Yiqiao just asked, “What do you want to change it to?”
“Jiejie, guess.”
So, until the hovercar left the giant wood forest and returned to the manor, they played this guessing game.
Ming Fei guessed that Zhu Yiqiao had probably already guessed, but she still enjoyed it, like teasing a kitten. And in reality, Zhu Yiqiao indeed knew without guessing, but she still played along.
Because Ming Fei’s smile was as beautiful as spring flowers, and she wanted this smile to last longer, wanted her lover to be even happier and carefree.
Back at the manor, it was almost ten o’clock at night.
The two went up to the children’s bedroom on the third floor of the main building. Ming Zaozao was already sound asleep, having even kicked off the covers and rolled to the other side, hugging a bunny plush toy.
Ming Fei walked over and covered her with the blanket. Zhu Yiqiao picked up the bear plush toy that had rolled to the corner and placed it on Ming Zaozao’s left side.
After doing this, they double-checked that the temperature control system in the room was functioning properly, took another look at their daughter, and then left.
Passing by the main hall on the third floor, they ran into Yan Nanzhi, who had come to check on Ming Zaozao. She had a face mask on and, seeing the rings that had appeared on their fingers, almost dropped her mask in shock.
After recovering, she quickly steadied the mask, but couldn’t stop smiling, saying,
“Congratulations! When you announce it tomorrow, Mama will give you two big red envelopes and gifts.”
Without waiting for their response, she turned and walked towards the bedroom, giving them time and space, but not forgetting to wave,
“Mama will keep the secret for one night, and we’ll celebrate together tomorrow~”
The light in the corridor was dim, but the two diamonds on the rings, with their perfect clarity, a blue and a green, reflected the starlight. Ming Fei and Zhu Yiqiao exchanged a look, seeing the smiles in each other’s eyes.
“—Jiejie.”
“—Ah Fei.”
They spoke simultaneously. Ming Fei led Zhu Yiqiao towards the bedroom, lowering her voice and asking proactively,
“Mm, what did Jiejie want to say?”
Arriving at the bedroom, the door opened and closed. Zhu Yiqiao didn’t release Ming Fei’s hand, kissing her directly on the lips.
“Ah Fei, what kind of wedding do you like?”
“What about Jiejie?” Ming Fei asked softly. “But I guess our thoughts should be very similar.”
“Is that so?”
Ming Fei said confidently, “Mm. If I guess wrong, Chief Judge Zhu can punish me.”
She even gave a suggestion: “For example, punish me by making me make another pair of new, exclusive, couple’s edition Grape-faced Bellflower Orchid Drums, how about that?”
One for her, and one for Zhu Yiqiao.
A unique pair of Grape-faced Bellflower Orchid Drums.
Zhu Yiqiao asked, “What if you guess correctly?”
Ming Fei readily replied, “If I guess correctly, then a reward, one for me, and one for Jiejie.”
Zhu Yiqiao asked, “Then what’s your guess?”
By the wall lamp, Ming Fei’s dimple appeared. She leaned close to Zhu Yiqiao’s ear, whispered something, then pulled back slightly and said with a hint of slyness,
“It’s Chief Judge Zhu’s turn to judge my answer.”
In that instant—
The pheromone blocking device automatically turned off, and the elegant pine and fir scent filled the entire bedroom. Zhu Yiqiao’s kiss first landed on Ming Fei’s ear, then her cheek, and finally her lips.
“Professor Ming is indeed intelligent.”
Ming Fei’s ears and cheeks burned at the compliment. She blinked, about to ask if she could get the reward she had mentioned, when she heard Zhu Yiqiao whisper in her ear,
“Then can Professor Ming guess what other reward I want to give?”
Another… reward?
There was no need to guess.
Her pheromones had already given Ming Fei the answer.
For some reason, she thought of the second secret Zhu Yiqiao had whispered in her ear last time—Ah Fei, I like it when you use your tongue… it feels very good.
It was just a fleeting thought.
But her already warm face instantly flushed crimson, and she turned her head and kissed the mischievous cat who deliberately wanted to see her blush.
