Xia Lingyu brought Xiao Luo back to the Xia Family. She said to Father and Mother Xia, “Mom, Dad, Xiao Luo is now my girlfriend and fiancée.”
Father and Mother Xia had no objection at all to the two children being together.
They were extremely satisfied with Xiao Luo. Not only was Xiao Luo beautiful, she had a sweet tongue and often made them laugh heartily. Most importantly, Xia Lingyu truly loved Xiao Luo, and as parents, they of course supported their daughter’s decision.
Thus, the Xia Family announced to the public that Xia Lingyu had a fiancée, and that their grand wedding would take place in three months.
This news caused quite a stir in the Capital City.
After all, the Xia Family was a chaebol dynasty with vast assets, and Xia Lingyu was the sole heiress. Many people had their eyes on her status, hoping to marry into the family.
Even if rumors had previously circulated that Xia Lingyu had a secret girlfriend, it hadn’t discouraged their plans for an alliance.
But this piece of news completely shattered their schemes.
Some were still unwilling to give up.
A woman of Xia Lingyu’s caliber was about to get married—who exactly was the marriage partner? Were they more outstanding than them? What did Miss Xia see in her?
Men or women who still harbored thoughts about Xia Lingyu instinctively paid attention to any news about the fiancée.
Xia Lingyu protected her fiancée too well; not even a single photo was leaked.
It wasn’t until before the wedding, when Xia Lingyu brought her fiancée to various banquets, that Xiao Luo gradually appeared before everyone.
Xiao Luo seemed naturally adept at handling such occasions. She was elegant and proper, chatting and laughing freely, impossible to fault, and gradually won everyone’s admiration.
So when they saw the two standing together, everyone suddenly felt… they were simply too well-matched.
No one could break them apart.
On the wedding day, they put on pure white wedding dresses and walked through one ivy archway after another intertwined with fresh flowers. Guests applauded and cheered constantly, offering their most sincere blessings.
The moment they exchanged rings, they became true wives, vowing to never part until their hair turned white.
“Xiao Luo, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Under the cheers, they smiled at each other, then leaned in to gently kiss each other’s lips, so sweet it felt as if bubbles were fizzing in the air.
Three months later.
On a yacht at sea, Xiao Luo wore a sexy bikini and leaned against the deck railing, enjoying the scenery. The sky was cloudless, and the warm sunlight made every inch of her skin gleam snow-white.
The sea breeze lifted her long hair, flowing and lively, making her look utterly beautiful.
Xiao Luo was pleasurably admiring the view, unaware that she herself had become a sight in someone else’s eyes.
Noticing that Xiao Luo hadn’t turned around for a long time, Xia Lingyu grew a little unhappy. She walked over and wrapped her arms around Xiao Luo’s waist. “Baby, what are you still looking at? Am I not enough of a sight for you?”
Xiao Luo turned her head and kissed her cheek. “Of course my wife is the best sight.”
A flash of red spread across Xia Lingyu’s face, and the corner of her lips couldn’t help lifting. “Baby, I’m so happy.”
They had spent three months on their honeymoon, traveling everywhere and being sweet to each other the whole time.
“Me too.” Xiao Luo then remembered something and said softly, “Mom and Dad sent me a message last night.”
Xia Lingyu paused. “What did they say?”
“They asked when we’re coming back, said they miss me. I told them our honeymoon is almost over and we’ll be back in a few days.” Xiao Luo smiled.
Xia Lingyu thought about it. It was indeed time to go back, but before they did, she wanted to spend one more day on this yacht with Xiao Luo—a wildly indulgent day.
Her baby was dressed so temptingly, she really couldn’t resist.
But how could she say it out loud?
“Wife, do you really want to, right here…” Xiao Luo had already seen through her thoughts and whispered in her ear.
Xia Lingyu nodded with a slightly red face, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her. “Can we, baby?”
“Since it’s what my wife wants, how could I not satisfy her?”
So they let themselves go completely right there, playing for a long time before finishing.
Afterwards, Xiao Luo kind of regretted it. She lay in Xia Lingyu’s arms like a fish that had been completely squeezed dry, the corners of her eyes red, and her voice completely hoarse as she spoke. “You’re really terrible…”
“I’m sorry. How about I give you a massage tonight?” Xia Lingyu coaxed.
At the mention of a massage, Xiao Luo hummed and hawed. “Fine, I forgive you. But if you don’t serve me well tonight, I won’t let you touch me ever again.”
Not let her touch her? How could that be?
Xia Lingyu immediately felt a sense of crisis and swore, “Don’t worry, Baby. I’ll definitely give you a good massage tonight.”
For the sake of serving her wife, she had even specially improved her massage skills. Whenever it was time for a massage, Xiao Luo would lie under her as obediently as a little cat, with a thoroughly content expression.
They spent their last few days of honeymoon bliss and then set off back to the Capital City.
When they arrived at the Xia Family Villa and got out of the car, Father and Mother Xia and a crowd of relatives all gathered around, fussing over the newlyweds.
“We haven’t seen you for three months—Xiao Luo has become even prettier and more radiant.”
“Lingyu, your wife is so sweet and wonderful. You mustn’t bully her.”
“Lingyu, your blindness problem has finally been cured.”
The moment someone brought up how Xia Lingyu had once taken a fancy to Si Nanyan, everyone unanimously agreed that Xia Lingyu must have been blind.
A few months earlier, the news that Si Nanyan had escaped from prison, run around wielding a knife, and been shot dead had been a huge story, making headlines for days.
So this period of entanglement and engagement with a scumbag like Si Nanyan was definitely a dark chapter in Xia Lingyu’s history. Every time Xia Lingyu thought of those memories, she wanted to slap herself twice.
Now that the subject was brought up again, she couldn’t help breaking out in goosebumps.
Seeing Xia Lingyu deflated, Liu Weiwei beside her burst into laughter. “Hahaha, cousin, serves you right!”
Xia Lingyu threw a few dagger-like glares at her, and Liu Weiwei immediately shut her mouth.
At this moment, the understanding Xiao Luo stepped forward to defend Xia Lingyu, saying gently, “Alright, it’s all in the past now. Stop teasing Lingyu—she’s thin-skinned and easily embarrassed.”
The supposedly “thin-skinned” Xia Lingyu hadn’t felt anything before, but hearing Xiao Luo’s words made her face instantly flush red.
The atmosphere was lively, when suddenly a crazy woman rushed out, trying to strangle Xia Lingyu. Xia Lingyu easily dodged her.
The woman threw herself to the ground, wailing and making a scene, cursing Xia Lingyu to die, screaming that she had killed her precious son.
“He was your fiancé! First you sent him to prison, and now you want him dead! What a vicious heart!” the woman ranted like a lunatic.
Everyone was stunned. Wasn’t this Si Nanyan’s mother, Yu Chunxia? Some time ago she had fled abroad with a huge sum of assets—why had she come back?
Xia Lingyu’s gaze turned cold. “Everyone, disperse. I’ll deal with this myself.”
Then she glanced at Xiao Luo, patted the back of her hand, and said, “Baby, you go inside first.”
Xiao Luo nodded and led Father and Mother Xia and the others into the villa.
Only the two of them were left. Xia Lingyu turned around, her tone teasing. “Alright, Auntie, stop pretending. Get up and let’s have a proper talk.”
Yu Chunxia got up resentfully. “Xia Lingyu, you’re trying to push me to my death, aren’t you? You drove my son to his death, and now you’ve frozen my assets. How am I supposed to survive?”
Xia Lingyu replied, “You helped your son escape from prison. He got out, did evil things, and was shot dead because of your indulgence. As for those frozen funds—you were stupid enough to come back to the country on your own and let people investigate. You brought all of this on yourself…”
Yu Chunxia shrieked. Clearly, she refused to listen and still wanted to evade the truth.
“You’re spouting nonsense! My son’s death had nothing to do with me! You’re lying! You have to give me a huge sum of money so I can live out my old age in peace, otherwise… I’ll never let you go for the rest of my life!”
Xia Lingyu had no desire to waste words with her. She directly called the property’s security guards and had Yu Chunxia removed.
After being thrown out, Yu Chunxia became mentally disturbed. She seemed to hallucinate and rushed into a pharmacy, grabbed some pills, and stuffed them into her mouth. Someone called the police, and she was taken away.
Subsequently, the hospital diagnosed her with hysteria and severe delusional disorder. She was sent to a mental hospital to live out her years.
Three years later.
Xia Lingyu’s parents had retired, and she became the President of the Xia Corporation. Even though she was busy every day, she never forgot to bring her beloved wife along, secretly quenching their thirst in the office.
Xiao Luo had been lying on the sofa for a long time, and when she got up, her legs had gone numb. So Xia Lingyu sat beside her and actively massaged her thighs.
“Baby, does that feel good?”
Xiao Luo’s whole body was limp. She didn’t even know which part Xia Lingyu was asking about and just gave a lazy nod.
Ever since the last time they had fooled around here, Xia Lingyu seemed to have fallen in love with that thrilling feeling.
Although Xiao Luo also quite liked it, sometimes she ended up being teased too harshly, having to hold back her voice constantly, which was utterly unbearable.
Today, however, Xia Lingyu told her that the office was very well soundproofed, which made Xiao Luo so angry she pounded her a few times.
“Baby, don’t be mad.” Xia Lingyu came over eagerly, massaging her shoulders from behind. “Do you remember what day it is today?”
Xiao Luo asked, “What good day is it?”
Xia Lingyu’s eyes darkened. “You really don’t remember?”
Xiao Luo huffed. “Why should I remember? I don’t feel like talking to you. I’m going shopping.”
She pushed Xia Lingyu away, got dressed, and walked out, leaving Xia Lingyu looking helpless.
Today was their wedding anniversary.
After working the whole day, Xia Lingyu returned home. She was puzzled as soon as she entered: why was it pitch dark? Even if she hadn’t been home, there should still be someone here.
She felt along the wall and turned on a light. The moment it lit up, she saw that in the distant dining room, her family was already waiting. In the center was a huge cake, decorated with her and Xiao Luo’s names.
“This is…” Xia Lingyu felt moved.
“Xiao Luo prepared all of this. What are you standing there for? Hurry over!” Mother Xia said with a smile.
Xia Lingyu walked over, sat down beside Xiao Luo, and kissed her lips. “Thank you, Xiao Luo. I thought…”
“Thought what? My memory is just fine.” Xiao Luo shot her a coquettish glare.
“Mm-hm, my wife is the best.”
Xiao Luo said, “Stop talking. Come on, open up and taste my cooking…”
The whole family was full of joy, with laughter ringing out constantly.
Their life was as blissful as ever. Time flew by so quickly—over a decade passed before they knew it.
Their faces had gradually aged, yet even so, their gazes upon each other were still full of deep affection.
Until the year Xia Lingyu turned forty-five. She developed a malignant brain tumor, and the doctor told her she had little time left. She called Xiao Luo over.
“Baby, this world… is so wonderful. I’m sure there are so many places you still want to visit, right? My greatest wish in this life is for you to be happy. Promise me you’ll go see other places, okay?”
Xiao Luo looked at her weary, sickly face, took her hand, and gently stroked it. “No. We haven’t grown old together yet.”
Xia Lingyu’s eyes dimmed. She also wished to keep living with Xiao Luo, but unfortunately…
“Wife, you’ll be fine.” Xiao Luo assured her. She exchanged her last help from the system to get Xia Lingyu through this crisis.
The system, which had been dormant for years, popped up with a rather resentful tone: 【Decades without contact, and now you finally think of me.】
Though the system was sarcastic, it still complied. Xia Lingyu’s brain tumor miraculously disappeared, startling the doctors into thinking it was a medical miracle.
Xia Lingyu recovered day by day. She then resigned from her position as Chairman, took her wife around the world, and relived their romantic times once more.
Many more years passed. They could still walk hand in hand under the setting sun, professing their love.
“I love you, Xiao Luo.”
“I love you too…”
Xia Lingyu’s eyes glistened with tears. “In our next life, let’s be together again, okay?”
Xiao Luo wore a smile but didn’t speak. She nodded.
If there was a next life, they would still be together…
Xiao Luo knew her time was running out. After falling into a deep sleep one day, she heard the system’s voice.
【Host, you have lived out your natural lifespan. We are about to proceed to the next plane. Please prepare.】
However, before she could prepare, she suddenly sensed a flash of light against her eyelids, accompanied by the sound of a woman’s scolding.
“What kind of princess is she? She’s nothing but a little trinket sent by a defeated nation, yet she still acts like a noble legitimate princess! Now that she’s in our Dawn Kingdom’s palace, she should follow our palace rules!”
“She arrives on the first day and just lies in bed, looking half-dead. Who is she putting on a show for? Let me tell you, whether your princess can get up or not, as long as there’s still a breath in her, she must attend tonight’s palace banquet…”
Xiao Luo frowned and gradually opened her eyes. What greeted her was an antique purple bed curtain. At the head of the bed hung a purple sachet, exuding a faint, subtle fragrance that seemed to have a calming and hypnotic effect.
This time, it should be a fictional ancient plane.
She lifted the curtain and got up. In the outer hall, a maid was trembling on her knees, while a fierce-looking old nanny stood before them, relentlessly berating the maid.
“Cui Momo.” Xiao Luo looked at the old nanny and accurately addressed her by name, then said indifferently, “I will attend tonight’s palace banquet.”
Cui Momo raised her eyes. The slender woman before her was dressed in a plain inner robe, her long black hair cascading down to her waist. Even without makeup, her small face was still snow-skinned and flower-like, coldly exquisite beyond compare.
But she looked as if she had just recovered from a serious illness—weak, fragile, and ready to collapse at a mere push, truly making one itch to pull her into their arms and cherish her.
Realizing she had been spacing out, Cui Momo came back to her senses and couldn’t help cursing that fox spirit inwardly.
How could the enemy country send such a princess?
It was a blessing that their Majesty was a woman and had no interest in female beauty; otherwise, wouldn’t she be utterly bewitched by this fox spirit?
