Chapter 100
The process of getting their marriage certificate went smoothly. Xia Yangxuan had made arrangements in advance, sending people to escort them, and there was no major publicity. Ji Fengxue touched up her makeup, only then covering the red marks on her face.
Taking photos, getting the certificate—it was all over in a flash.
On the way back, Xia Linxia was still savoring the moment, repeatedly looking at the red booklet, reading it word for word, then looking at the exceptionally radiant smiles of the two people in the photo. She asked incredulously, "So you're really my wife now?"
"Yes."
"We've really become a family?"
"That's right."
"Can I kiss you?"
The topic changed too quickly, but Ji Fengxue immediately responded, "You absolutely can."
When they returned to the Xia family home, the elders were already eating. Jiang Yuan also managed to make time to attend the dinner, congratulating them on getting their marriage certificate.
When asked about their plans after marriage, Xia Linxia looked at Ji Fengxue in a daze, still feeling a bit unreal.
"Let's move first," Ji Fengxue said calmly, holding her hand under the table. "What do you think?"
Xia Linxia nodded.
"What about the wedding then? When will it be held?" Mother Xia had been thinking about the wedding for a long time!
Xia Yangxuan spoke up, "No, Mom, those few places you picked won't do. The ones I contacted are better."
"Why won't they do? I've had my eye on them for ages."
Fang Xingyan interjected, "Any time is fine, but it's best during the winter or summer holidays, so I'll have time to help."
"I also have quite a few resources that should be useful," Jiang Yuan said, but as a boss, she would always try to secure more benefits in everything. "Should we contact a live streaming platform to collaborate and broadcast the wedding live?"
Everyone started discussing, one after another, while Xia Linxia and Ji Fengxue found themselves unable to interject. A moment later, Ji Fengxue, surprised, cupped her face. "Why are you crying?"
Everyone fell silent, all looking at Xia Linxia.
"I can't control myself, woo woo," Xia Linxia cried, tears gushing out, burying her face directly into her palm. "I just feel so happy and blessed."
Half a minute later, Xia Yangxuan led the laughter. "Silly girl."
Mother Xia clicked her tongue in wonder. "I can't believe Xiao Bao is still crying at this age. Come, let me take a photo first and post it on Moments to commemorate this."
Xia Linxia, still crying, hugged Ji Fengxue, refusing to show her face. "Mom, you're too much! Lao Ji, help me quickly."
"Alright, Auntie has put down her phone," Ji Fengxue said, patting her shoulder. Xia Linxia glanced at her, half-believing, and seeing that Mother Xia had indeed put down her phone, she finally lifted her head.
Click—
"Sorry, I also wanted to take a picture," Ji Fengxue said, putting away her phone.
Xia Linxia let out a sob, crying even louder. "Divorce!!!"
While they were crying and fussing, Mother Xia watched Ji Fengxue coaxing Xia Linxia like a child, and couldn't help but sigh, serving Fang Xingyan some food. "Mother-in-law, please eat more. We'll be troubling your Xiao Xue a lot in the future. But what she said about divorce, it's impossible, so don't take it seriously."
"I know that," Fang Xingyan smiled. "But Ji Fengxue sometimes has a mischievous streak. If she makes Xiaxia cry, please don't mind it."
"Understood, understood," Mother Xia said, giving her an "I get it" look. "That's called playful affection."
After dinner, Jiang Yuan took a call and said, "We've contacted Xiao Wang. It's true he sold the information at a high price, but that money still wasn't enough to cover his father's debts. His father had his leg broken by creditors and is now in the hospital."
Xia Linxia let out an "oh." "If he needed money, he could have borrowed from us."
"He probably feared he wouldn't get it. Regardless, he betrayed confidential information, so he had to be dismissed," Jiang Yuan said. "It's also hard to pursue legal responsibility, otherwise the contract would have to be revealed. He admitted his mistake and cried terribly."
"Mm," Xia Linxia smiled again. "Sister-in-law, you're amazing. You even prepared in advance. Heart gesture."
"Don't just shout things," Jiang Yuan said sternly, but her ears turned red.
Seeing Xia Yangxuan walking towards them, she quickly made way and ran off to play with her newly appointed wife.
That evening, Ji Fengxue drove Fang Xingyan back to her apartment. Xia Linxia followed behind, handing Fang Xingyan her slippers and taking her coat, feeling quite embarrassed after having been fierce with her mother-in-law earlier that day.
"You don't need to worry about me, go have fun yourselves," Fang Xingyan said with a smile.
"Okay, Auntie, get some rest early."
"Still calling me Auntie?" Fang Xingyan said. "Are you still mad at me?"
Xia Linxia shook her head repeatedly. "I wouldn't dare! I was wrong, mother-in-law! Mom!"
"Such a good girl."
"Hehehe," Xia Linxia giggled, cupping her face.
Fang Xingyan had a regular routine and went to bed early.
Ji Fengxue returned to the room after showering. Xia Linxia spread open her palm; the redness and swelling had subsided quite a bit, but it still pained her to see. She gently stroked the delicate back of Ji Fengxue's hand and whispered, "Wife."
"Hmm?"
"It looks like your hand won't do tonight. I'll take care of it," Xia Linxia said shamelessly.
Ji Fengxue, who had expected comfort, was speechless.
"It's fine, I still have my other hand," Ji Fengxue said with a mischievous smile.
Xia Linxia wouldn't have it. She stuck out her butt and pushed Ji Fengxue down, reclaiming the dominant position. During this time, she had also discovered Ji Fengxue's weakness: as long as she showed innocent, pitiful puppy eyes, Lao Ji would agree to anything.
So, she called out affectionately, "It's a blessing, not a curse. Since you're my wife, you can't escape."
"..."
"Every cause has its effect; you just had to provoke me."
"..."
"I'm begging you! Please!" Xia Linxia rubbed against her like a pug.
Of course not. Ji Fengxue flipped over to take the lead, "tormenting" the pug. Before long, it was whimpering, like a pitiful stray dog—an exceptionally beautiful stray dog, at that.
"Mom's right next door, and she's a light sleeper," Ji Fengxue whispered.
The stray dog immediately bit her lip, puffing up with the urge to bite someone, but when she opened her mouth, a different sound came out. The hidden pleasure made the stray dog's eyes red, and she turned her head to bite the pillow.
Ji Fengxue pulled an eye mask from under the pillow and put it on her.
The stray dog's cries grew more joyful.
The online commotion gradually subsided, and Fang Xingyan received notice that she could return to teaching. The two of them saw her off at the airport. Fang Xingyan asked caringly, "How did you catch a cold so suddenly?"
Xia Linxia, wearing a mask and scarf, said hoarsely, "Hehehehe, it's the spring flu."
"Take good care of your health. Later, have Ji Fengxue accompany you to the hospital for a check-up," Fang Xingyan instructed. "You two should also live well and come back to visit whenever you have time."
"Okay, you take care," Ji Fengxue said.
After seeing off her mother-in-law, Xia Linxia turned and left, completely ignoring Ji Fengxue, not speaking to her for the entire day.
Ji Fengxue didn't know what she was doing, she hadn't even come to coax her yet.
She was really going to get angry!
Just before bed, she kicked open the study door. "Why aren't you sleeping yet!"
Ji Fengxue was startled. Sitting at the computer desk, she waved at Xia Linxia. "Come here and take a look."
"Look at what?" Xia Linxia walked over and sat on the armrest of Ji Fengxue's chair. The computer screen displayed a self-guided tour itinerary for Europe. "Are you going out to play?"
"It's us," Ji Fengxue smiled. "Anyway, we don't have many announcements right now, so why don't we go on a honeymoon? It's a rare opportunity."
"Nice!" Xia Linxia's eyes lit up. She looked at the detailed itinerary Ji Fengxue had made. "When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow."
"Roar!" Xia Linxia immediately forgot she was still angry. She lowered her head, kissed Ji Fengxue's nose, and straddled her lap. "Lao Ji, why don't we 'travel' in the study tonight first?"
Ji Fengxue tickled her waist. "You want to be the dominant one again?"
"Hahaha, no!" Xia Linxia couldn't help but blush, resting her head on Ji Fengxue's shoulder. "It's just, wasn't it pretty good lying down last night? Isn't that more appealing?"
"Extremely appealing," Ji Fengxue said, biting open her collar.
The next day, the two almost missed their flight. After Xia Linxia found her seat, she immediately lay down and fell asleep, leaving only her back to Ji Fengxue.
After the flight, Xia Linxia felt someone wiping drool from her mouth, but she didn't open her eyes. A moment later, Ji Fengxue pinched her nose. "Stop pretending, hurry up and get up, everyone's leaving."
Xia Linxia slowly woke up and followed her off the plane. It was raining outside, so Ji Fengxue opened a large black umbrella and put her arm around Xia Linxia's shoulder as they walked out.
While waiting for their luggage, Xia Linxia noticed that Ji Fengxue's shoulder was half-soaked.
After checking into the hotel, Ji Fengxue looked at the itinerary and said, "Let's go to the London Eye later."
Xia Linxia was still angry. Without a word, she took a towel and wiped Ji Fengxue's clothes, then forcibly took off her jacket, sat cross-legged on the bed, and used a hairdryer to dry the clothes.
Ji Fengxue sat beside her, smiling silently. "I was wrong."
Xia Linxia gave her a lazy glance. "Wrong about what?"
"I shouldn't have disobeyed you."
Xia Linxia rolled her eyes, threw the dried clothes onto Ji Fengxue's head, pushed her onto the bed, and gritted her teeth in annoyance. "Too much! You said you'd let me take the lead later!"
Ji Fengxue chuckled, her face buried. "Who was it that couldn't bear to get up in the end?"
"I was just messing with you."
"Oh, I thought you were implying I wasn't enough."
Xia Linxia felt it was time to state her conditions. "I want to go clubbing."
"You're not allowed."
"Why not! We're not in the country anymore, and hardly anyone will recognize us." Xia Linxia really wanted to go clubbing, but ever since she debuted after turning eighteen, she hadn't dared to let loose at all, to maintain her idol image. Of course, she was also afraid of being caught by Xia Yangxuan.
However, Ji Fengxue still wouldn't agree.
Xia Linxia leaned in and whispered to her about unlocking new positions tonight, and only then did Ji Fengxue reluctantly agree.
In the afternoon, the two visited the London Eye for a while. After dinner, they entered a bar.
Xia Linxia swayed back and forth on the dance floor, having an absolute blast. After working up a sweat, she squeezed out of the crowd. Just as she was walking towards their booth, she saw several foreigners in revealing outfits surrounding Ji Fengxue, clearly with flirtatious expressions.
Xia Linxia immediately walked over, alert, and heard a woman asking Ji Fengxue if she wanted to go out and have some fun.
"Excuse me, I've found a better target," Ji Fengxue replied in English, then looked at the approaching Xia Linxia. "Beautiful lady, may I invite you out for some fun?"
"I'm very expensive," Xia Linxia said, glancing at the group of women. She directly sat on Ji Fengxue's lap, picked up a glass, took a gulp of alcohol, and roughly fed it to Ji Fengxue. The liquid flowed from between their lips, wetting their collars. "But you're free."
Those people left disgruntled.
"Go back!" Xia Linxia's eyes flashed with indignation. Just as she was about to get up, she was pulled back.
Ji Fengxue stared at the alcohol from her lips down to her chin, licking it clean with her tongue. A lot had also gotten on her neck.
The people on the nearby dance floor were wildly agitated, but here, it was exceptionally quiet. Xia Linxia tilted her head back, hooked her arms around Ji Fengxue's shoulders, and couldn't help but hum.
Just then, a stripper got onto the stage. Instantly, the place erupted in cheers, with whistles and decadent music rising and falling. The stripper's clothes became fewer and fewer as she twisted her body and interacted with the audience, her bra and panties filled with money stuffed by customers.
Xia Linxia glanced at her twice, then suddenly felt a pain in her neck. A moment later, Ji Fengxue, as if unable to restrain herself, pulled her up. "Back to the hotel."
"Wait!" Xia Linxia pulled Ji Fengxue, squeezing through the crowd, took out some money, and tucked it into the stripper's bra neckline. "Ahhh, you dance so sexily!"
The stripper blew her a kiss, then lay down on the stage, seemingly wanting to offer a kiss.
Xia Linxia was startled and said frantically, "No, no, no, I just like your dancing, and I have a wife—"
Before she could finish, she was pulled away by Ji Fengxue with considerable force. Xia Linxia looked at Ji Fengxue's tense expression and long strides, and suddenly felt a tightening in her lower body.
Woohoo, tonight was going to be amazing again.
╰(°▽°)╯
But... as soon as they returned to the hotel, Ji Fengxue said she wanted to see her dance. Xia Linxia had barely swayed a few times when a stack of money was tucked into her bra.
"..."
"Continue," Ji Fengxue said, hooking the edge of Xia Linxia's underwear, glancing inside, then placing another stack of money in front of her, using her own words: "You dance so sexily."
(w＼)
The two of them had a wild time in Europe for over half a month, visiting two or three countries, before finally receiving a call from their agent.
Xiang Huaimeng said, "The storm has completely died down. Although a small portion of the CP fans dropped off, most are still waiting for your return. You appeared in a tourist's photo yesterday, and now fans are clamoring for you to resume work. At least post something on Weibo to prove you're still alive and well."
The public's enthusiasm for gossip had shifted, and the contract issue was gradually forgotten. Coupled with the fact that the two had disappeared for a long time, only appearing occasionally in candid photos taken by passersby, fans were very worried that they might be planning to retire from the industry after being wronged, and they called out and waited on Weibo every day.
Ji Fengxue found the photo of their marriage certificate and sent it.
