Slice of Life 1: Mrs. Xie, Go Ahead and Play to Your Heart’s Content

On the night of Start of Summer, a Weibo post from Teacher Mu Xia-voted by modern netizens as “the blogger who shows off his relationship the hardest” and also known as Xie Qiyan, Head of the Xie Corporation-shot straight to the top of the trending searches across the internet.

The attached image was a candid shot from the wedding, capturing the moment Xia Wanzhi slipped the ring onto his finger.

The photo had been taken by Jiang Yourong. She had, after all, been a fangirl with a fansite camera in her younger years. Her equipment was top-tier, and the angle just happened to frame the newlyweds and all the guests below the stage in one neat, square photo. The atmosphere was off the charts.

At the same time, Xia Wanzhi reposted the Weibo and tagged Xie Qiyan-

[Wanzi V: To grow old with you, through three meals and four seasons. @Mu Xia]

This was the first time the husband and wife had appeared together to publicly shower everyone with sweetness.

After being force-fed a massive mouthful of couple PDA, the netizens could no longer sit still. They hoisted up their keyboards and went wild-

[1L: Muxia Wanzi 99999999! Lock them down for me! Lock them together for three lifetimes!]

[27L: I haven’t even gone to sleep yet and the sky has fallen… My favorite CP actually held a wedding behind everyone’s backs!]

[66L: Wuwuwu, is nobody paying attention to the guests behind the bride and groom? The weight of this wedding guest list is beyond words…]

[99L: Aaaaaaah, I got the ninety-ninth floor! Muxia Wanzi, you have to be ridiculously happy!]

[520L: I’m tearing up. Congratulations to Teacher Mu Xia for finally getting what he wished for!]

[666L: Is nobody noticing Teacher Mu Xia’s blindingly huge grin? Hahahaha! This is what they mean when they say marrying the girl you love feels like winning a war, right? I can feel Teacher Mu Xia’s happiness through the screen.]

[999L: May Muxia Wanzi last forever. (heart)]

…

The chain of blessings, thousands upon thousands of comments long, was still flooding the screen.

The summer night was charming, and red wine swayed in the glass.

Only now, after the wedding had ended, had the newlyweds finished bathing. They sat cross-legged together in the center of a large bed, counting…

Gold, silver, and jewels.

Antiques from five hundred years ago.

Treasured works by master artists.

Diamonds and jade worth hundreds of millions.

Stacks upon stacks of property deeds.

And shareholding contracts, one after another.

Xia Wanzhi: “…”

She had basically married a mountain of gold and silver.

“This is probably what they call the heavy love of our elders.” Xie Qiyan finished organizing the list, then cleared the items away one by one. In the end, the only thing he left on the bed for Xia Wanzhi was himself.

“Stop looking at those dead things. Look at me.” His broad palm closed around Xia Wanzhi’s soft cheeks without giving her any room to object. Xie Qiyan curved his lips into a wicked smile. “I’m much better-looking than all that lifeless stuff.”

Not only better-looking, but also more fun.

Xia Wanzhi’s watery red lips were squeezed into a pout. She blinked innocently, and just as Xie Qiyan could not help leaning down, she lifted her pale, jade-like fingers and pressed them between their lips.

After fooling around together so many times, the two of them had developed a certain tacit understanding in bed as well.

“President Xie, we agreed that everything tonight goes my way.” Xia Wanzhi narrowed her eyes slightly, shifting from sitting cross-legged to kneeling. With one hand, she pushed him backward; with the other, she grabbed his collar.

They had both just showered, and they carried the same scent.

Sea salt and Gardenia.

Clean, translucent, and enticing.

During the wedding preparations, Xie Qiyan had been very busy, and Xia Wanzhi had also been very busy.

With two extremely busy people together, counting backward from tonight, they had somehow managed to live like ascetics for more than half a month.

Xie Qiyan’s body was even more impatient than he was.

Xia Wanzhi only let her gaze flick down for a single glance. When she sensed that long-accumulated pressure and barely restrained urgency, she silently prayed for herself in her heart.

Today was Start of Summer, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky.

Tonight, she feared she would truly experience the profound meaning of: if the moon did not sleep, neither would she.

Xie Qiyan merely smiled and raised a brow, looking completely at her mercy. He even lifted both hands and clasped them behind his head, taking the initiative to signal his surrender. “Mrs. Xie, go ahead and play to your heart’s content. Tonight, I’m all yours.”

For some reason, Xia Wanzhi swallowed.

What was with that expression of enjoyment on his face…
