Tang Yue felt so shy she wished she could hide in his embrace.
ng Siyu wrapped his arm around her waist, smiling as he handed out wedding candies.
"Congratulations on your marriage, and may you stay together until you are old and gray." The receptionist looked at the wedding candies and didn't refuse them, smiling as she offered her blessings.
"We will." ng Siyu said with certainty.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, ng Siyu glanced at Tang Yue before carefully putting sothing away, saying, "Xiao Yue, I'll keep this safe."
"But one of them is mine." Tang Yue pouted. She hadn't had enough ti to look at it.
"What if you lose it?" ng Siyu refuted with righteous indignation.
"I haven't had enough ti to look at it." Tang Yue's eyes blinked playfully.
ng Siyu had no defense against such a look, and he said, "Let's look at it again when we get ho."
"No." Tang Yue took the initiative to reach into the pocket of his jacket.
ng Siyu was helpless and could only take out the little red books. They had agreed to just glance at them, but the couple stood under the shade of the trees outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, completely engrossed.
Eventually, it was Tang Yue who felt too hot and ca back to her senses. She checked the ti on her wrist and realized that they had stood there like fools for half an hour. Half an hour! Forget about just looking at the marriage certificate, even if they looked at it a hundred tis back and forth, it would have been more than enough.
"Wife." ng Siyu held her hand and called her with a sideways glance.
His voice was naturally charming, and that indulgent tone sent a shiver through Tang Yue. Facing ng Siyu's gaze, it was as if she was saying, you can't run away tonight.
Tang Yue tilted her head up, it was the first ti she heard him address her this way. She felt a sweet shyness mixed with happiness and joy. She stood on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear: "Husband."
Her smile blood like a flower, her warm breath sprayed against ng Siyu's ear, and her deliberately soft and tender voice when she called out 'Husband' sounded like the most enchanting sound in the world.
What does it feel like for a man when the woman he loves most sweetly calls him 'Husband' by his ear?
Feeling his body stiffen, Tang Yue giggled, teasing him before running away. She was wearing flat sandals, but it didn't hinder her from running at all.
ng Siyu watched her laughing and running into the distance, occasionally turning her head back to look at him. Her radiant smile and her bell-like laughter deeply imprinted in his mind.
His little wife, his spouse, the future mother of his children!
ng Siyu wished he could catch her right now and devour her. He had endured for so long, and now, at last, they had the certificate.
ng Siyu took a deep breath and strode forward to catch up with Tang Yue, and the two of them laughed all the way back to Jianan Prefecture.
In Jing City, at the Second Prison.
"ng Yanzhi, you have a visitor," a cold voice announced.
In the dimly lit room, ng Yanzhi's eyeballs moved slightly. Since he had been brought here, he had just sat in the room. At first, he didn't even want to eat, but later, he had a realization. Why should he die?
He had to live well, because as long as he was alive, there was hope.
Mr. ng didn't make much effort to shorten his sentence, and the attitude of the ng Family, observed by others, resulted in ng Yanzhi having made quite a few enemies in the past. Inside, ng Yanzhi had been beaten up more than once, and one ti, he was almost beaten to death.
Fearful that he really might die, they put him in a separate room. During the day, ng Yanzhi would work and eat with the other prisoners, and at night, return to his cramped and gloomy room alone.
During the dayti, it was uncertain whether these people harbored a grudge against ng Yanzhi or not, but they made life difficult for him at every turn. Having never suffered such indignity, ng Yanzhi naturally ended up fighting.
His days inside were very hard, everything he had was earned through his fearlessness and struggle. Eventually, he managed to maintain a bizarre balance with the others.
It was August 3rd, Friday.
ng Yanzhi had gotten into a fight the day before and was still nursing his injuries. Resting in his room, he heard soone had co to visit the prison and a flicker of doubt crossed his eyes.
His grandfather had only co to visit once, and that was for just a few days. It was obvious that Mr. ng was very disappointed in him. Even when he did not visit afterward, he only sent so necessities. As for anything else, there was not a trace.
Harboring such suspicions, ng Yanzhi walked out and upon seeing the man in the white shirt, he asked, "Ji Changming, what are you here for?"
ng Yanzhi sat down on a chair. His ti in prison hadn't worn down his pride, if anything, it had made him more reserved and composed, although the arrogance in his eyes remained undiminished.
"Young Master ng," Ji Changming's eyes were narrow and hawk-like, fixated sharply on ng Yanzhi as he spoke with a smile, "No, you are no longer Young Master ng."
"Surely you didn't co just to mock ?" said ng Yanzhi coldly. In the past, he might have impulsively started a fight, but now, ng Yanzhi was not as impulsive as before.
Ji Changming was sowhat surprised to see the change in ng Yanzhi and said, "I thought you would attack ."
ng Yanzhi's gaze remained steady, just observing Ji Changming.
If the forr ng Yanzhi had been haughty and domineering, acting with impunity due to his status as Young Master ng, then he certainly hadn't behaved modestly.
But the ng Yanzhi of now had beco a lot more calm and collected, and also… much cleverer.
"ng Jin, who is legally your father, once had a wife, right?" Ji Changming slowly spoke.
ng Yanzhi watched him in silence.
Ji Changming continued, "Do you know that he has found his wife, and moreover, that she bore him a son?"
"So I have a brother now?" In ng Yanzhi's eyes, there was no discernible emotion, but his hand that was placed on the table tightened slightly.
"That's right." Ji Changming's eyes were sly and malicious; he understood well what ng Yanzhi was thinking and said with a smile, "You must be thinking, even if there is a son, what does it matter? Who knows in what corner of the world he was raised in, how outstanding could he be, right?"
"Given Mr. ng's fondness for you and the years of affection, if it weren't for the fact that you overstepped this ti, Mr. ng would surely not have wished for you to suffer."
Ji Changming's analysis was spot-on, and although ng Yanzhi appeared calm, a storm was raging inside him.
For Ji Changming to make a special trip here implied that the person in question was very outstanding, outstanding to the point that…
ng Yanzhi restrained himself from speaking. No matter who that person was, he would find out eventually. Ji Changming was so eager to tell him, but what did he hope to gain from it?
"Huh, you're actually not asking who that person is?" Ji Changming was sowhat surprised, finally regarding him seriously. His change seed genuinely significant.
"Didn't you co to tell ?" ng Yanzhi said indifferently.
Ji Changming raised an eyebrow and stated, "That person is soone you know."
ng Yanzhi's pupils contracted as his mind rapidly searched for whom Ji Changming could possibly be referring to.
