Thank you Paprika for the ko-fi donations! Since you didn’t specify which series, I decided to split it up so all my translations will have a bonus update today~
There was thunderous applause in the room, coupled with the echo effect, the atmosphere was really warm. The day he and Xing Lixuan got married was not such an occasion.
Yu Antong felt like sitting on pins and needles. In his mind, he was killing these silly employees of his.
What was he afraid of? He didn’t do anything wrong!
Yu Antong opened the card.
[Although you said that you only want a momentary hug, and hope that we will not disturb each other later, I can hardly forget you. You occupy my heart and every moment of my thoughts. Even if you don’t love me, I will silently guard my feelings for you for the rest of my life —the one who loves you.]
Yu Antong’s mouth twitched like he had a toothache. Why the fuck does this line sounded like he had a one-night stand with someone!
Someone was definitely sowing dissension and trying to destroy his relationship with Xing Lixuan. Confused on how to clean his name, Yu Antong raised his head and mumbled, “I…”
Xing Lixuan smiled softly, “Are you happy?”
Yu Antong: “…”
In Yu Antong’s eyes, that smile only made Xing Lixuan look like a psycho.
Isn’t this like a cliche development of dark romance novels? After this, will Xing Lixuan’s sanity snap, and he will be caged inside a little black room1popular trope of atticwifing imprisoning someone and ⬛⬛⬛ them until they loved you back :3c?
Seeing that there was no joy on Yu Antong’s face, Xing Lixuan’s smile faded. His tone sounded like he’s disappointed, “Don’t you like roses? Then I will give you something else next time.”
“What do you mean?” Yu Antong asked, absolutely confused, “Is this flower from you?”
Xing Lixuan: “…Who do you think sent it?”
Yu Antong stuffed the card to him and said, “What kind of mess did you write on this card?”
Xing Lixuan took it, his face became darker the more he looked at it. This wasn’t something he wrote at all.
“Boss, someone sent flowers again!”
At the same time, an employee came in with a bouquet of roses that was almost the same as before.
The applauding employees stopped.
‘What happened? Is the boss too lucky, or is he stepping on two boats2cheating?’
Everyone went quiet. Seeing that something was wrong, Fu Xin quickly asked the employees to disperse.
The door of the meeting room was closed, and Xing Lixuan opened the card inside the bouquet of flowers that had just arrived, on which was written the blessing he requested when he ordered the flowers. He said, “This is the flower I want to give you.”
Yu Antong looked at the two bouquets of roses, “Then who sent the first bouquet of flowers?”
“I’m not someone who would cheat,” Yu Antong clarified, “Someone must be trying to harm me.”
“Don’t talk about divorce all day long then,” Xing Lixuan sassed, but he naturally believed in Yu Antong. He picked up the card and looked at it carefully.
Generally, there would be a store name logo on the blessing cards from flower shops. However, this card might look very luxurious, but it didn’t have such a logo. This was obviously because the sender didn’t want to be found.
Even if it’s impossible to find out who it was, it’s not difficult to guess their motive. It must be someone who wanted to use this method to destroy the relationship between him and Yu Antong.
There was a stern look in Xing Lixuan’s eyes. He didn’t make a move against Shen Yunqing because he didn’t pay attention to him at all. Seeing that Yu Antong didn’t lose the slightest in the confrontation with him, he let Yu Antong vent his anger.
But Shen Yunqing shouldn’t provoke him and Yu Antong again and again. This time it touched his bottom line and ruined the surprise he had carefully prepared for Yu Antong.
“It must be Shen Yunqing,” Yu Antong also guessed, “God, he is so annoying.”
Xing Lixuan threw the bunch of roses into the trash can, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t let him bother you again in the future.”
“What are you going to do?”
“You don’t have to worry about it,” Xing Lixuan gave him the card he had prepared, “Do you still want to read it?”
“Of course, this is the first time you have sent me flowers,” Yu Antong said. He didn’t expect Xing Lixuan, a totally unromantic man, would send him flowers. That’s why he didn’t believe that the first flowers were sent by him in the beginning.
[I wish my baby and the little baby healthy and happy life —Xing Lixuan]
It was not easy for Xing Lixuan to say such love words in a very simple sentence.
Yu Antong kissed Xing Lixuan with a smile, and said playfully, “I like the present very much, and I will add one point to the number one contestant!”
Xing Lixuan wrapped his arms around his wife’s waist, with a low voice and a smile he said, “How much is the full score?”
“Let me think about it,” Yu Antong pretended to think for a while, “The full score is 100 points. You now have 61 points, which barely pass the failing line. So, Mr. Contestant here must strive to work harder~”
“So low,” Xing Lixuan scratched Yu Antong’s high-bridged nose. He huffed, “Let’s go home.”
“Can we stop when we pass by the mall? I want to buy a vase and put the flowers in it,” Yu Antong sat on the back seat holding the flowers.
“Alright.”
The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and the mall was holding a year-end promotion, making the stores full of people. Yu Antong picked out two beautiful long tube vases. When he was about to leave, he saw the host holding a small bowl with a chubby carp printed on it. It was the promotional booth in the hall of the mall.
The host took the microphone and vigorously said, “The prize for our second group of activities is ‘every year there are fish’! It’s a set of carp bowls with a total of eight pieces of four big and four small ones, which can be used by adults and children, and are practical for home use… “
Yu Antong held Xing Lixuan, pointed at the cute and cute carp bowl in the host’s hand. “Husband, I want that.”
Xing Lixuan was afraid that Yu Antong would be bothered by the massive crowd, so he argued, “Rather than participating, let’s just buy it…”
“This is not for sale! You can only get it from winning this challenge,” The host shouted at the right time, “Kiss for three minutes. You can participate with a shopping receipt, only for couples and lovers.”
Xing Lixuan: “Really want that?”
Yu Antong nodded, “Yeah.”
“Is there anyone else who wants to participate?” The host loudly mobilized the enthusiasm of the customers, “Hurry up, friends, the event will start in a minute.”
Xing Lixuan glanced at the stage, and there were already many people, mostly young couples.
“Be careful, follow me,” Xing Lixuan led Yu Antong onto the stage.
Today, Qi Jingyao and Han Lele were on an outing together. However, Qi Jingyao was rather unlucky – his cell phone fell to the ground, and the tempered film cracked. He felt uncomfortable looking at it, so he insisted on finding a store to replace the film.
Entering the shopping mall, Qi Jingyao turned a blind eye to the promotional activities in the middle of the hall. He looked directly at the two sides of the shopping mall. If he remembered it correctly, the shop he searched should be located near the entrance.
Qi Jingyao glanced over and saw a shop. He went straight to the shop to get his phone fixed, but Han Lele glanced at the event stage.
This glance resulted in him exclaiming in surprise.
Han Lele patted Qi Jingyao’s arm excitedly, “Hey, is that couple in the stands Yu Antong and Xing Lixuan?”
“If Xing Lixuan can kiss in public, I’ll cut off my head and give it for you to kick,” Qi Jingyao automatically replied, not taking his eye off his cracked-looking phone’s screen.
Han Lele: “It’s really the two of them!”
Qi Jingyao successfully tore off the cracked film and threw it into the trash can. Looking at the uncracked phone, his obsessive-compulsive disorder was relieved, and he casually raised his head. There, he saw–
“Damn it!” Qi Jingyao’s jaw almost fell off his head, “Xing Lixuan is crazy.”
Qi Jingyao looked at Xing Lixuan on the stage in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that his buddy worth tens of billions kissed in public for a shopping mall gift only worth more than ten yuan.
This is really… a scene worth remembering!
Qi Jingyao’s lightning-fast hand speed was enough for him to record this momentous scene, marking it as a precious moment in history.
“Hahaha,” Qi Jingyao laughed while recording it, “I want to post it on my Moments.”
Han Lele: “…I don’t want your head, but I really want that bowl. By the way, isn’t this year your birth year? The red bowl is so suitable and festive.”
Qi Jingyao’s smile froze. “Baby, calm down, we can buy it elsewhere.”
Han Lele: “But the host said that this isn’t for sale.”
Qi Jingyao desperately argued, “Red bowls are sold everywhere, there is no need to have this. It is not very good-looking, what’s so good about that fat fish? I should buy the same pattern as my zodiac. In conclusion, this is not suitable.”
Han Lele didn’t want much at first, but Qi Jingyao’s resistance made him feel dissatisfied. He shook off Qi Jingyao’s hand, “I think you are ashamed. Xing Lixuan and Yu Antong can take the stage, but you can’t. Anyway, it’s not as important as your face.”
‘Fuck,’ Qi Jingyao inwardly cursed. He didn’t expect that this scene would lead to angering Han Lele, so he quickly explained, “It’s not that I’m afraid of losing face, Baby. Look at this bowl, it’s too big and childish. We don’t have children, so we can’t use it, right? It’s a pity to get it and only to throw it away because it takes up space. It’s better to give the opportunity to those who have children and make the best use of everything. Don’t you think this is true?”
“Don’t you want to buy Gunpla? I’ll take you to buy Gunpla3Gundam figurines that you build yourself,” Qi Jingyao didn’t stick the film on his phone anymore, so he quickly persuaded Han Lele to leave.
Han Lele was successfully persuaded by him. But, after thinking about it for a while, he mumbled, “No, Xing Lixuan and Yu Antong don’t have children either.”
“…”
The prizes have been distributed, so it was futile anyway. Qi Jingyao let out an exhale, and said in one breath, “That’s because the two of them are ignorant.”
Yu Antong, who had no idea he had been secretly filmed, received the prize pridefully.
The outer wall of the bowl was a burning red, with a golden carp jumping over the dragon’s gate pattern. The inner wall was mostly white, with green water waves, and a bunch of red carp were arranged in a circle from big to small. It was very cute.
Yu Antong couldn’t put it down. As he played with the small bowl, he commented, “Xiao Nian will definitely like it.”
Mr. Xing, the tool man who was thrown away after one use, held the steering wheel tightly, feeling sour in his heart. Ever since he had a child, his wife’s thoughts have only focused on the child. He didn’t even care about their long kiss just now!
Back home at night, Qi Jingyao bombarded Xing Lixuan via WeChat message.
<Qi Jingyao>: [Video]
<Qi Jingyao>: Hahahahahaha!
<Qi Jingyao>: One million hush money, or I will post it to Moments.
<Qi Jingyao>: Hello, hello? Are you there? If you don’t reply, I will post it on my Moments.
After taking a shower together, Xing Lixuan and Yu Antong picked up the phone and saw a series of messages from Qi Jingyao.
Xing Lixuan was silent for a moment, and calmly typed his reply.
<Xing Lixuan>: You won’t understand if you’re not married.
Qi Jingyao was overwhelmed by the connotations. He angrily replied with a middle-finger emoji, and then posted the captured video on Moments.
<Qi Jingyao>: Mr. Punishment sucks! [Video]
Xing Lixuan also gave this post a like, then carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He went to the kitchen, took out the carp bowls and photographed it. Then, he posted it on his Moments.
<Xing Lixuan>: My wife likes this. [Picture]
Yu Antong was drowsy because of the pregnancy. He fell asleep shortly after entering the bed. He rolled over half-asleep, and the moment he realized that his familiar heated-body pillow was missing, he jolted awake and called, “Husband.”
“I’m here,” Xing Lixuan put the carp bowl lightly and went back to the bedroom, “Woke you up?”
Yu Antong narrowed his eyes and muttered, “Husband, where did you go?”
“I went to the bathroom,” Xing Lixuan hugged Yu Antong into his arms and said softly, “Sleep, Baby.”
“Mhm,” Yu Antong wriggled a bit, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep shortly after.
Not long after Qi Jingyao’s post, a lot of night owl bad friends forwarded it and commented one after another.
<Bao Ji>: Hahaha!
<Wei Zhejun>: Isn’t this my shopping mall? Thank you Mr. Xing for your support.
<Lu Ren>: Hahaha, didn’t you used to say ‘even if you kill me, I won’t get married!’?
<Lin Xuan>: Is this my Xing-ge? I do not believe it!
Xing Lixuan didn’t think there was anything embarrassing about it. If anything, he was proud of it and reposted the Moments. Plus, this would help him fend off those pesky suitors of his, and save Yu Antong from being bothered by people who had shitty eyesight.
The next day, Bao Ji woke up and looked at his phone. There were several messages from his family, so he opened it.
<Empress Mother>: I’m embarrassed to laugh. Look at how kind Lixuan is to his wife. How about you, when will you bring your lover home?
<Emperor Father>: You must bring me a daughter-in-law back for this year’s Chinese New Year. If not, don’t bother to come home.
<Great Emperor>: Good Grandson, if you don’t like girls, Grandpa also accepts you bringing boys home too.
Bao Ji: “…”
Actually, the situations of his fellow bachelors friends were also similar. They were too shocked when first seeing it, and could only laugh and teased Xing Lixuan about it. But they forgot to block their family members when reposting it. As a result, they did not expect to receive a wedding reminder gift package the next day.
