Chen Yuanxing's eyes darted around, and he pretended to think seriously. "Alright then, I'll kneel." He then stood up and pretended to kneel.
Xiao Qiqi was so startled that she quickly grabbed him, "You're just kidding!"
"Didn't you say that?" Chen Yuanxing smiled, pretending to kneel again. Xiao Qiqi quickly hugged him tightly, but her laughter couldn't help but spread.
Then, an even more beautiful voice rang out, "Next pair!"
It turned out it was their turn to register for marriage; it was that simple.
Xiao Qiqi looked at the bright red marriage certificate in her hand, then at the one in Chen Yuanxing's hand, at the two heads nestled together, their faces beaming, "...We're getting married just like that?"
Chen Yuanxing nodded seriously, "It seems so." Then his expression changed to a fierce look, and he said, "From today onwards, Xiao Qiqi, you are my cook!"
Xiao Qiqi glared at him, "Then you're a money-making machine! If you don't bring me more money, I won't have anything to eat!"
Chen Yuanxing immediately wilted, lowered his head, and bent down to rub his head against Xiao Qiqi's neck, "No way, wife, I want to be a kept man!"
Xiao Qiqi laughed and pushed his head away. The two chatted and laughed before holding hands and walking home.
The car went straight to the airport, not home. Xiao Qiqi shook Chen Yuanxing, "Where are we going?"
"On their honeymoon."
"Huh? Honeymoon?" Xiao Qiqi pinched his thigh. "Where would we get that much money for a honeymoon? And by plane?"
Chen Yuanxing winced in pain as she pinched him, then pulled out two plane tickets and tossed them at her. "They're free, woman! It hurts!"
Xiao Qiqi looked at the plane ticket. "What? To America? Didn't you say my parents were coming?"
“Mom and Dad will come in a while, don’t worry. I’ll give you the happiest wedding. But we have more important things to do right now. To make sure you stay by my side, I’ve decided to give up my right to be the groom.” Chen Yuanxing pulled her out of the car. “Do you remember Kuang Shan and Yu Yao?”
Xiao Qiqi was puzzled, but still nodded, "I remember, Madman Third Brother and the medical school beauty, you were expelled from K University because of them, and became a good-for-nothing guy without even a diploma!"
Chen Yuanxing dismissed Xiao Qiqi's sarcasm, "Yu Yao is now a doctor at a top-tier hospital in the US, and that madman is even more remarkable, he's in a US national laboratory. So..."
"So you're inviting us on our honeymoon to repay your kindness from back then!"
“Yes! Smart!” Chen Yuanxing put his arm around Xiao Qiqi and walked towards the airport terminal. “All expenses are covered, including… this!” Chen Yuanxing then magically pulled out a stack of documents.
"What is this? It's so mysterious!" Xiao Qiqi pulled over the stack of documents and flipped through them one by one. Her English was decent, but she still read very slowly. She stopped, and her expression slowly changed. "...Yuanxing?"
"How about it, are you touched?" Chen Yuanxing raised an eyebrow. "If you're touched, give me a kiss."
"Ah!" Xiao Qiqi screamed and hugged Chen Yuanxing's neck, throwing her whole body onto him. Chen Yuanxing quickly held her waist, "Baby, take it easy, you broke your husband's back."
Xiao Qiqi planted a big kiss on Chen Yuanxing's cheek, completely ignoring the surprised looks from passersby at the airport. "Xingxing, I love you the most."
Chen Yuanxing was speechless. "But I hate kids... Waaah."
In Xiao Qiqi's hand was a brochure and contract for in-vitro fertilization from a top-tier American medical institution.
On the plane, Xiao Qiqi was still uneasy. "Xingxing, do you think it will succeed? Am I okay?"
Chen Yuanxing comforted her, "I called Yuyao and sent her your medical records. She said there should be a 90% chance, but you still need to go for an actual examination. But the process... will be very difficult and may take a long time."
"I'm not afraid of hardship, nor am I afraid of a long time." Xiao Qiqi's eyes were very bright, and Chen Yuanxing couldn't help but kiss them as he looked into those beautiful eyes.
"Qiqi, let's have a daughter, she'll be just as beautiful as you."
"Okay, but our daughter will definitely look like her father. She'll only be pretty if she looks like you."
"Yeah, like me, I show her off every day, and without any introduction, everyone knows I'm my daughter."
"Hehe, don't you hate children the most?"
Chen Yuanxing sighed, "There's nothing I can do. You like it, so I'll extend that affection to everything related to you."
Xiao Qiqi hugged Chen Yuanxing's neck and smiled happily.
Two years later.
"Ahhh!" A strange scream made Xiao Qiqi quickly put down the vegetables she was washing and run out.
"Yuanxing, what's wrong now?"
"Aaaaah! Your daughter...your daughter peed all over me again!" Chen Yuanxing hurriedly put Chen Xi on the crib. "That annoying little cricket pees on me as soon as I pick her up! Ugh, I don't want to live anymore!" He pulled at his clothes, which were soaked with urine, and said angrily, "Xiao Qiqi, tell your daughter to stop peeing, or I'll sell her to Africa to be my wife!"
Xiao Qiqi smiled, this kind of scene happens several times a day. "Then just put a diaper on her."
"It must be so uncomfortable to wear that in this heat, why don't I wrap you up?" Chen Yuanxing said rudely as he took off his clothes.
"Pfft!" Xiao Qiqi laughed again, "Why don't you just put her on the bed and let her play by herself? Why did you have to hug her?"
Chen Yuanxing threw the clothes into the bathroom, his peach blossom eyes sparkling, and he said breathlessly, "You think I want to hug her? I think she looks pretty bored lying there all alone. Can't I hug her and chat with her?"
“She’s so young, how would she know anything about chatting!” Xiao Qiqi shook her head. “Go put on some clothes, don’t catch a cold.”
Chen Yuanxing, shirtless, flexed his arm proudly as he heard Xiao Qiqi's words and said, "Wife, look how well my muscles are now, I've been working out every day lately."
Xiao Qiqi nodded quickly, "Solid, solid, not bad, not bad!" She turned and went into the kitchen; if she continued to argue, the meal might not be cooked.
Sure enough, that man was always faster than her. She was suddenly pulled close and hugged. "Sister, don't go! Admire your husband's perfect body a little longer!"
Xiao Qiqi was speechless. This person was becoming more and more childish at home. Not only did he make a fuss over nothing, but he was also often jealous of his daughter. "Didn't Xixi just pee? Aren't you going to wash her? It'll be uncomfortable in the middle of summer."
Chen Yuanxing let go as expected, saying dejectedly, "You brat, I still have to wipe her poop and pee, that's too much!"
Xiao Qiqi chuckled inwardly and quickly went into the kitchen to continue washing vegetables. Soon, she heard Chen Yuanxing's cheerful whistling and Chen Xi's soft giggles. Xiao Qiqi's smile deepened. Was it happiness?
That night, Xiao Qiqi looked at the father and daughter sleeping soundly with their big and small heads almost touching, and couldn't help but kiss them both. Husband, daughter, home, she had it all.
I turned on my computer, went into the email inbox where the number of emails was still increasing, and carefully read each one from beginning to end, slowly typing out my reply.
29. Letters
Selected Letters of Young Master Chen:
1. Xiao Qiqi, this is the first letter. I'm telling you, I've changed your QQ number, alumni directory username, and even the password for this email address to QQLCYX. Try to find out if you dare! I swear that one day you'll be crying and begging me to never change your password again!
Xiao Qiqi: Hmm, let's see who cries and screams more tonight.
Chen Yuanxing covered his head and scurried away, hiding behind his daughter's crib.
2. Xiao Qiqi, I went to the bathroom again in the middle of the night, and in my frustration, I smoked one of your cigarettes from your pack. Damn it, I'm about to lose it. What kind of weird stuff do you put on yourself every day? And you can't even sleep properly in the middle of the night, what are you doing moving around like that? Please don't stick your fragrant, soft arms out beyond the 38th parallel, okay?
Xiao Qiqi: From today onwards, we will be separated, and my arms will never extend beyond the 38th parallel.
Chen Yuanxing burst into tears.
3. The plot is so melodramatic it makes me want to vomit, but I persevere! I just don't believe that so many men and women in the story can hook up so easily, so I can't hook up with you!
Xiao Qiqi: So you had ulterior motives from the very beginning!
Chen Yuanxing sneezed!
4. I was so excited I almost had a nosebleed! Finally, I didn't have to hide in the bathroom and fantasize anymore. For the first time, I openly embraced her slender waist, inhaling her scent that made my blood boil, and released my passion. I felt like the happiest man in the world. Sigh, Xiao Qiqi, I didn't realize you were so charming. How could I have fallen for such an awkward woman like you? But looking at your shy, blushing half-face from behind, I think it's not so bad after all. Feeling smug... The revolutionary cause is not yet successful; we must go further.
Xiao Qiqi: Hmm?
Chen Yuanxing chuckled twice and went to hide in the toilet?
5. Wow, you hooked up with a big-breasted beauty, and you came back talking to me until your throat was dry, and you just gave me that sullen look? Not a single hint of jealousy! I'm furious!
Xiao Qiqi: I'm not jealous; I can still flirt with them now.
Chen Yuanxing, acting like a submissive wife: I wouldn't dare, wife.
6. Hehe, the revolutionary cause has taken another step forward! You finally agreed to help me masturbate! I'm so proud! The future is getting brighter and brighter, Xiao Qiqi! You woman, just wait and see how I devour you piece by piece! (Laughing like a wolf...)
Xiao Qiqi: Tonight I'm making a full vegetable feast.
Chen Yuanxing continued howling...sobbing...
7. I heard that mothers-in-law grow increasingly fond of their sons-in-law the longer they look at them, so I looked in the mirror for a long time and realized I was indeed devastatingly handsome. Therefore, I secretly kept another train ticket and decided to go to my future mother-in-law's house so they could admire this incredibly handsome son-in-law. Hmm, Xiao Qiqi, what do you think of this idea?
Xiao Qiqi: We haven't settled the score from that time yet! Tomorrow, Xixi and I are going back to our hometown. As punishment for making this decision on your own, you're not allowed to come along!
Chen Yuanxing crossed his legs: Wife, Little Cricket, have a good trip! I'll pick you up at the X County train station! Anyway, I know the way well, I can get back by myself, right?
8. New Year's Day! So exciting! Just thinking about these past few days has kept me awake with excitement. Holding this soft, smooth woman in my arms, I feel so incredibly proud, I want to cry my eyes out. Xiao Qiqi, you're finally mine. I wish we had gone home for the New Year earlier! It's a bit cold at your place, and I was shivering a little when I took off my clothes, but I was so excited, I didn't care. I've finally devoured you, ahahaha…laughing wildly…from now on…
Xiao Qiqi raised an eyebrow: How about from now on?
Chen Yuanxing was clearly unaware of the danger behind that alluring gaze, and smugly thought: I can do whatever I want with her!
Xiao Qiqi said ominously, "Okay, let's give it a try?"
Chen Yuanxing realized something was wrong, so he quickly smiled like a fawning puppy, leaned over, and tried to coax him!
9. Qiqi, give me a smile! You won't smile? If you won't smile, I'll give you a smile!
Xiao Qiqi: I want you to cry!
Chen Yuanxing tried to cry, but failed. He hugged Xiao Qiqi and fell to the floor. Just as he reached out his hand, Chen Xi's loud voice startled him. Xiao Qiqi kicked him away and ran to her daughter's room.
10. Applicant: Chen Yuanxing, male, 24 years old, is applying to purchase a pair of slippers with two cute rabbit ears from a roadside stall at the west end of the street in front of the house of Chen Dashao, the neighbor of Aunt Ma's third sister's daughter Xiaoxi's aunt, which is two houses away.
Xiao Qiqi clutched her wallet tightly: How much? Don't even think about it if it's more than two yuan!
Young Master Chen rolled around on the ground: Xiao Qiqi, you should change your name to Grandet!
11. Qiqi, I miss you so much, I miss you so much, I miss you so much... I miss you while hugging a cushion and chewing on it, I miss you while sitting on the toilet with my stomach growling, I miss you while staring at the vegetable scraps in the trash can with shining eyes, I miss you while looking pale and thin, thinner than a peach blossom, I miss you while drooling as I watch Grandma Zhang's big bear happily gnawing on a bone... Waaah, Xiao Qiqi, you bad woman, if you don't come back to cook, I'll starve to death!
Xiao Qiqi: There's running water in the toilet, drink more if you're hungry.
Young Master Chen rolled his eyes, barely breathing, too hungry to speak.
12. Xiao Qiqi, a formal announcement: Please update your world record: Today it took you 14 minutes and 37 seconds to seduce a big-breasted girl, which is 2 minutes and 95 seconds faster than the last time it took 17 seconds and 42 minutes. Wait, something's not right. Subtraction, addition, time—everything's correct, right?
Xiao Qiqi: The watch is confiscated.
Young Master Chen rummaged around in his pocket with a sly look, and after a while pulled out a big brick. His peach blossom eyes flashed: "There's also a cell phone that can keep track of time!"
13. Honey, I have some good news! I finally mustered the courage to save two yuan from my allowance and bought you a new pair of headphones from that silly neighbor. That way, you won't have to complain about sore ears every morning. Originally, to avoid disturbing your beauty sleep with my gaming, I would watch you fall asleep every night and then plug your ears with those old headphones that had lost their padding. But I meant well and ended up making your ears red and swollen every day. So, I had a change of heart and bought you new headphones—these ones have padding on one side! So happy…
Xiao Qiqi was speechless... It was like a waterfall of coldness... In the end, the computer and her personal savings were confiscated.
Young Master Chen looked up at the sky speechlessly, waiting for Comrade Big Bear to appear every day at Grandma Zhang's door!
14. Sis, I bought an absolutely gorgeous deck of cards today, drooling~ Wow, they're all naked beauties! I looked and looked, oh, why are all the cushions wet? So I excitedly went to the toilet to wash the cushions, and while I was washing them, I accidentally bumped into my brother, and they got into a fight! *covers face* I didn't mean to... *drips* Who told you to go on a business trip and not come back yet?
Xiao Qiqi: Starting today, I'll be sleeping on the floor!
15. Xiao Qiqi, you're a heartless, wicked woman! Stingy, petty, cruel, and short-sighted! How come I, the most handsome, charming, universally loved, flower-admired, pig-frightened, dog-barking, and bird-singing super-handsome guy in the universe, only have one yuan a day? How am I supposed to treat that long-legged girl at the company to dinner tomorrow? So, I'm furious right now. I swear, when I have billions in assets, I'll immediately make a will, and everyone—my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law, the neighbor next door, the neighbor's grandma Zhang, Aunt Ma, the company's big-breasted girls, countless beautiful-legged girls, etc.—will get a share. But you, Xiao Qiqi, won't give me a single penny!
