Chapter 524: Chapter 524

Assistant Gao sat beside Bei Bei with a simple smile on his face. "Bei Bei, today really is a good day, isn’t it?"

Bei Bei turned to him, smiling warmly. "Isn’t that the truth."

Due to the heavy bridal gown, Qiao Xi had changed into a red traditional dress, which added a touch of elegance and grace to her fairy-like appearance.

She was still stunningly beautiful and radiant.

The wedding was extraordinarily lively.

During the banquet, the young guests sang and danced, and the melodious music of the wedding never stopped.

Dream Park set off a grand fireworks display.

Qiao Xi sat in a hot air balloon, watching the dazzling fireworks bloom before her eyes.

Flower-like fireballs reddened half of the skyline, and the whole city celebrated.

The tea-colored pupils of Qiao Xi’s eyes shone bright from the reflection of the fireworks. "How beautiful!"

The light in her eyes was too intense, as if all the stars in the sky had poured into them, twinkling.

Uncontrollably, Shen Dang kissed her eyes, his deep voice as gentle as water. "Xixi, are you happy?"

He was afraid that what he could give was not enough.

Afraid that she wasn’t happy or joyful enough.

Warm lips touched her eyelids. Qiao Xi’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She met his gaze and nodded. "Very happy."

Today, Shen Dang had prepared many surprises for her.

Qiao Xi was enveloped in joy and happiness all day.

He stayed with her the whole time, never letting go of her hand, a sight that drew envious glances from many.

Shen Dang grabbed Qiao Xi’s hand, and they kissed beneath the night sky lit by fireworks.

The wedding continued until ten at night.

When the guests left, Shen Dang and Qiao Xi returned to the Riverfront Villa.

The elegantly beautiful cottage and the trees were adorned with red lanterns, casting a warm glow all around.

So beautiful it seemed almost otherworldly.

Shen Dang opened the car door, lifted Qiao Xi from the car, and carried her straight to their room.

The flickering shadows of the trees and the light from the lanterns glided across her field of vision.

Qiao Xi wrapped her arms around Shen Dang’s neck, smiling lightly. "Did you decorate all this?"

"Mhm," Shen Dang answered nonchalantly, smiling. "Had Tang Honghe and the others set it up in a day and a night."

Qiao Xi, barely over ninety pounds, felt effortlessly light in Shen Dang’s arms, his steps steady and unhurried without even breathing heavily.

Qiao Xi even swung her legs a bit.

"Then give me a kiss."

Qiao Xi tilted her head up as Shen Dang slightly lowered his, and she kissed right below his chin.

Flower petals covered the floor from the front door, spreading up from the first floor to the second, finally stopping at the bed in the bedroom.

Shen Dang kept kissing her all the way.

When he set Qiao Xi on the bed, his body followed, pressing down.

Shen Dang propped himself up beside her, gazing down at her, his face brimming with a triumphant smile. "Another kiss?"

Qiao Xi smiled and kissed his lips. "Is that okay?"

Boss Shen seemed unsatisfied.

"Ah." Qiao Xi sighed, her eyes brimming with playfulness as she looked at him. "I’m really tired, you know."

After the whole day, her legs were weak, and she felt completely justified as Shen Dang carried her upstairs.

Shen Dang brushed the stray hairs from her face. "Hard work indeed."

Qiao Xi yawned delicately and lazily, turned over, and slid out of his embrace.

Then she noticed that the bedsheets, duvet, and pillows on the bed were all in auspicious red.

The white walls were adorned with red "double happiness" characters.

Above their bed, there hung a framed photo of them.

Qiao Xi turned her head towards Shen Dang, asking, "When did you prepare this picture?"

The photo was taken in Switzerland.

Qiao Xi wore a bright red long dress, the hem sketched in graceful arcs, while Shen Dang wore a red suit, turning his head to look at her.

Behind them were grass and snowy mountains, the sunlight shining on the mountains radiated blinding brilliance, yet it wasn’t as dazzling as they were.

Shen Dang enjoyed the expression on her face, his mouth curling into a casual smile. "Mm, also prepared it last night."

Shen Dang repositioned her body, his fingers gently stroking her chin. "Didn’t you say you were tired? I’ll help you remove your makeup, and then we can sleep."

A subtle excitement seeped through the exhaustion in Shen Dang’s body.

Though they’d spent countless nights together, something about this night seemed different.

Qiao Xi lay listlessly, crinkling her nose a bit coquettishly. "I’m really tired, help me."

Shen Dang pinched her nose tip. "My wife is so coquettish."

"Of course it is, I love it when you’re ."

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, amusement twinkling in his eyes, and carried Qiao Xi into the bathroom, setting her on the glass counter.

After returning home, Qiao Xi hadn’t touched the ground.

The makeup remover was placed on the vanity shelf; Shen Dang picked one and began removing her makeup, his movements quite skilled as it wasn’t his first time.

After removing her makeup, he dampened a washcloth to wash her face.

Qiao Xi’s bare face was still extraordinarily beautiful.

Her natural beauty was different from when she wore makeup.

Shen Dang ran a finger over her soft cheek. "Alright, that’s it. Let’s sleep."

Qiao Xi savored his words slowly.

Just sleep, that simple?

Qiao Xi had already seen the desire in Shen Dang’s eyes.

Qiao Xi attempted to jump down. "I... haven’t showered yet."

Shen Dang held her waist, burying his face in her neck, deeply inhaling. "Wife, you smell wonderful."

His breath tickled her.

Qiao Xi instantly pushed him away, weakly protesting. "Don’t..."

Her feeble hands seemed more inviting than rejecting.

Shen Dang chuckled lowly, his breath shifting to her jaw, biting her lower lip.

Leaving no room for her to say no.

His fingers seemed to carry fire, branding her waist, igniting sparks all over.

Qiao Xi lazily leaned into his embrace, truly not wanting to move at all, with only her arms loosely draped over his shoulders.

Coy and lazy, like a queen or a princess, just waiting for the man before her to kneel in submission.

The bright bathroom light left nothing of their expressions hidden.

Shen Dang squinted at her irrepressible demeanor, lifting a truly enchanting and enticing smile.

Outside the window, the moon was sparse, and the trees swayed fiercely with the wind.

The room’s transparent floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the light from the outside lanterns, with the shadows on the bed merging into one.

Eventually, Qiao Xi was truly too exhausted to move even a fingertip, and she fell asleep contentedly in Shen Dang’s warm embrace.

The next day, the sunlight came into the room, and the two on the bed showed no signs of waking.

Ran Jing entered at ten o’clock, the house quiet upstairs and downstairs.

Whatever and Huahua, nestling together, got up to greet her when they saw Ran Jing.

The two animals remembered Ran Jing and called out joyfully.

"Shush..." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt

Ran Jing signaled them to be quiet. "Don’t disturb your daddy and mommy; they’re busy making a baby."

Whatever indeed became quiet, lying on the ground and looking up at Ran Jing eagerly.

Ran Jing asked, "Are you hungry?"
