Although he was engaged to Qi Xun, it would be a while before their actual wedding. There was ample time for Wu Mo and Wu Jingwan to display their strength to the fullest.
Bai Xi originally thought he would be very positive the entire time, it was his marriage, after all. He was preparing to marry Qi Xun, a once-in-a-lifetime event.
But when he and Qi Xun were forced by their mothers to communicate with the designer about countless versions of outfits, choose several wedding venues, and be bullied into reviewing the guest list again and again, he dismissed all his fantasies.
They were shattered and thought marriage was exhausting.
He solemnly asked Qi Xun, “Why don’t we cancel the wedding ceremony and just get the marriage license?”
Qi Xun calmly went through the wedding photographs. “I am afraid not. This decision is out of our control. If we canceled the wedding ceremony now, our mothers would go on a rampage.”
Just the thought of that image sent shivers down Bai Xi’s spine.
He flopped his head down on the pillow and put Qi Xun’s hand over his face, playing dead.
It was really hard for him to understand their mothers’ strict requirements on this matter. If he was allowed to host his wedding, it would probably be on a fine sunny day and on an open grass field. Everyone would eat and drink, and he and Qi Xun would exchange their rings in front of everyone.
He groaned, “Thankfully, it would just be a one-time thing.”
Qi Xun gently patted his head like he was petting a dog. “Do not dream about having more than one wedding.”
When Qi Xun finished his sentence, he removed his hand from Bai Xi’s face and looked down with his dark, round eyes.
“Let’s pick a day to get our marriage license then.” He said lightly.
This was not the first time he brought this up to Bai Xi.
It was not required to get a marriage license and have their marriage ceremony at the same time. He and Bai Xi have a legitimate relationship. There was no difference between getting the license now or later.
But Bai Xi froze at this.
For the past two days, he had been wearing his pale yellow pajamas with little yellow duck patterns. He had purchased several sets and changed them every day. When wearing them, he looked innocent and adorable. This made him appear quite sincere, even when treating people in a perfunctory manner.
“I have been very busy these last few days. Ask me again later?” Bai Xi replied, emphasizing his blinking.
As Qi Xun refused to buy the meng Bai Xi was selling, as he calmly pointed out, “You said the same thing last week.”
Bai Xi immediately followed suit and changed his excuse, saying, “I need to take Chubby for a checkup in two days, go shopping with my sister the day after tomorrow, and meet up with Liang Song for a movie three days from now.”

It was not that Bai Xi did not want to marry him, because when it came to the wedding, Bai Xi’s face would be filled with anticipation, even though he was annoyed to death by the process of completing the event.
For a moment, Qi Xun tried to remember that term—marriage anxiety.
It described what Bai Xi was acting like right now.
He looked down at Bai Xi for a moment, who silently pulled down his nightcap, covering his face and pretending to be asleep.
He smiled helplessly and let the question slide.
But he reached out and fished Bai Xi up into his arms. He forcibly removed the nightcap from Bai Xi’s face and changed the topic to, “Have you thought of what you want for your birthday yet?”
Bai Xi’s birthday was less than half a month away.
Qi Xun had already made preparations, but he still wanted to hear what Bai Xi wanted.
The person who would receive the present needs to like the present.
Bai Xi furrowed his brows because he could not think of anything he lacked.
Not to be humblebrag, but he grew up in a good family, was good-looking, and had a good career. He bought and got almost everything he wanted.
In the past, the only desire he was not able to obtain was Qi Xun, ever since the year he developed his secret feelings.
But now, even Qi Xun was his.
After years of being a secret admirer, his love blossomed and bore fruit. Not only did they have stable feelings and smooth love, but they soon entered the hall of marriage.
He really could not think of anything he was not satisfied with. He was right as rain, and a winner in life. Being any more greedy was like asking to be struck by heaven.
So he could only affectionately cup Qi Xun’s face and continue with his perfunctorily attitude, “I like anything you give me.”
Qi Xun also came to the same conclusion.
He pinched Bai Xi’s soft waist. “Then you will accept anything I give?”
Bai Xi nodded vigorously and replied sweetly, as if his lips were smothered with honey, “I will love whatever you give me.”
Qi Xun chuckled and whispered, “Little liar.”
But he looked up and kissed his little liar.
It was a very gentle kiss at first, just brushing two lips together and feeling each other’s warmth, like a polite gentleman. But not soon after, Qi Xun deepened with force and put his arm around Bai Xi’s waist, exploring the other’s mouth and chasing the taste.
His free hand also slipped under Bai Xi’s pajamas and wandered underneath like an impudent lecher.
Bai Xi’s breath became unstable as he remained seated on Qi Xun’s lap, eyes glistening with water. He was also very excited.
Qi Xun lightly bit his earlobe, and as he was about to do something more, a scratching sound suddenly sounded from outside, followed by a high-pitched soft kitten’s call.
Bai Xi: “…”
He forgot he left Chubby in the small room today.
Qi Xun did not want to pay attention to the kitten outside. He kept his grip on Bai Xi’s chin as he intended to be the only one in the other’s eyes, before going for another kiss.
But the sound of the door scratching grew louder and louder, as did the small kitten’s cries, which sounded more and more pitiful by the minute.
As Bai Xi felt very upset, he abandoned Qi Xun by pushing him aside to check on their fur baby. “I wonder if something is wrong with Chubby. Maybe he got caught on something. I will go and have a look.”
Qi Xun stopped him. “I will go check.”
Qi Xun put on his nightshirt and opened the door with a gloomy expression.
Outside the door, Chubby sat on the ground with his fluffy butt. The moment he saw Qi Xun, he stopped meowing. He even thumped forward on his short legs to act adorably.
Instead, Qi Xun grabbed the back of Chubby’s neck.
Qi Xun ruthlessly rejected Chubby’s eager eyes to sleep together and dumped him back into the pet bedroom without hesitation.
When he returned to the master bedroom, he met Bai Xi’s eyes and explained, “Nothing is wrong, Chubby is just stubborn about not sleeping and wanted to cause a ruckus instead. Everything is fine.”
Bai Xi was relieved. “That is good to hear.”
Qi Xun went back to the bed and took Bai Xi back into his arms. The ambiguous atmosphere from before had disappeared without a trace.
He suggested with a straight face, “Chubby is about the age to get neutered.”
Bai Xi buried himself on Qi Xun’s shoulder and laughed for a very long time.
.
Chubby, of course, was not old enough to be neutered yet.
When Bai Xi fed him milk cake the next day, he patted Dragon Li’s little head and instructed, “You cannot scratch the door anymore. You do not want your father to send you to kindergarten.”
Chubby remained focused on eating the milk cake. It was not clear if the kitten had heard Bai Xi’s teaching or not.
.
After feeding Chubby, Bai Xi went to work.
But as soon as he arrived at the office, he was called away by the editor-in-chief and was informed that he would be going on a half-month business trip because of the tight schedule where events kept coming one after the other.
Bai Xi was used to going on business trips, only that this one’s duration was longer than what he was used to.
When he got home, he told Qi Xun about his business trip as he pondered over which luggage to take.
Qi Xun certainly would not comment on this, but when he heard that Bai Xi was going to be away for half a month, he still frowned softly. He did not say much more, just looked at Bai Xi like this.
Bai Xi could not handle the stare.
He thought Qi Xun was worthy of being at the top of his beauty scale, crumbling his entire being and softening his heart with just that melancholy look.
If these were the ancient times, he would be the brutal yet ignorant King Zhou of Shang, while Qi Xun was the stunning Su Daji, the vixen who was able to steal anyone’s breath and hook their souls.
He sat on Qi Xun’s lap and rubbed against Qi Xun’s forehead, asking, “You do not want me to go?”
He was teasing Qi Xun.
They were only going to be ten days apart. It was considered a short period for Qi Xun, who was used to living alone, not to mention his distant and cold nature.
Qi Xun was not as clingy as he was.
But he did not expect Qi Xun to nod.
Qi Xun hugged Bai Xi and buried his head in the crook of the other’s neck.
“What should I do?” Qi Xun asked, “I do not want to let you go.”
