Coming out of the changing room, Si Huaixi exhibited a mature and handsome appearance. With his deep, sea-blue eyes and increasingly imposing facial features, his well-fitted wedding suit outlined his mature and masculine figure. Like a long-aged tequila, exuding an alluring and intense masculine charm, he exuded a hint of dangerous excitement.
Pei Zhaozhou instinctively froze, pursing his lips and feeling a slight dryness in his throat.
The young and naive boy who once unexpectedly entered his room had gradually transformed into a charming and mature man.
If it were in the past, Pei Zhaozhou could never have imagined that he would eventually fall in love with a man who was so different from the rest of the world yet uniquely dangerous.
But he did fall in love, and they even had a child together.
Pei Zhaozhou gazed at Si Huaixi, who was approaching him. The captivating reflection of Si Huaixi’s sea-blue eyes mirrored his figure, just as Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes held Si Huaixi’s presence. They were like two twinkling planets, their respective gravitational forces pulling them closer. Their hearts throbbed nonstop, and their eyes shimmered with mutual love.
He had no regrets about enduring numerous hardships and pains, because he had encountered Si Huaixi, which was enough to make his future life free of regrets, filled only with the anticipation of love they would share throughout their lives.
Pei Zhaozhou reached out to help Si Huaixi with his tie, his gaze meeting the other’s chin. Si Huaixi had grown taller compared to before, but fortunately, Pei Zhaozhou was also a relatively tall alpha, so he didn’t have to tiptoe to adjust the tie for Si Huaixi.
Pei Zhaozhou raised his eyes and met Si Huaixi’s gaze. His amber-golden eyes sparkled mischievously as he smiled and said, “A little taller, and I’ll have to fetch a small stool for you to adjust your tie.”
Si Huaixi’s lips curved into a gentle smile as he watched Pei Zhaozhou skillfully adjust his tie. He slightly lowered his head, and his strikingly handsome face leaned toward Pei Zhaozhou’s cheek. In a slightly coquettish tone, he teased, “The tie is done, but I can wait… wait for Brother Pei to fetch a small stool and kiss me.”
This blatant hint caused a blush to spread across Pei Zhaozhou’s cheeks. He glanced at the servants and stylists who had tactfully moved away, then locked eyes with Si Huaixi’s cunning and bright sea-blue gaze.
At that moment, Si Huaixi deliberately straightened his posture, his gaze carrying a playful smirk. At the age of twenty-three, his height had long surpassed 1.9 meters, while Pei Zhaozhou, who was slightly over 1.8 meters, couldn’t easily reach him without standing on tiptoes or getting a small stool…
Si Huaixi playfully continued, “Of course, I wouldn’t be so heartless. Although I’d love to see Brother Pei standing on a small stool, I…”
But before he could finish, Pei Zhaozhou kissed him.
Soft and warm lips covered his own, and his heart burst into a shower of sparks. In that pair of intoxicating amber-golden eyes filled with deep love, he felt like he was drowning.
Si Huaixi’s gaze deepened, and his lips curved upwards uncontrollably. He lowered himself, being the proactive and affectionate one this time, and embraced Pei Zhaozhou’s slender waist, kissing him even more passionately…
Until the cheeks of the stubborn Pei Zhaozhou turned rosy, and his moistened eyes glistened with a blush, as he gently gasped for breath, leaning against Si Huaixi’s embrace.
Si Huaixi let out a pleasant chuckle from his throat, and then his magnetic and low voice seemed to nibble at Pei Zhaozhou’s ear as he said, “Brother Pei, you’re really cunning. You know this is a public place, yet you still tease me. Since today is the day we register our marriage, I’ll demand some interest first. You can repay me slowly in the future…”
Si Huaixi grasped Pei Zhaozhou’s hand, kissing his fingertips. His eyes were like a deep blue sea, concealing hidden waves. A smile adorned his lips, and his exquisitely beautiful face was breathtaking, reminiscent of a dangerous, seductive siren tempting hearts at any moment.
The lingering warmth in Pei Zhaozhou’s heart trembled, and the flush on his cheeks made him hesitate to tease this alluring sea creature, who had matured into a ‘man-eater’ every day.
With a light cough, Pei Zhaozhou evaded Si Huaixi’s intensely focused gaze and changed the subject, saying, “The tie is ready, and the photographer has been waiting for us. Let’s go.”
“Okay, Brother Pei,” Si Huaixi replied with a joyful smile, no longer teasing him to avoid provoking his anger.
Pei Zhaozhou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, taking Si Huaixi’s hand. His cheeks still carried a hint of blush, and he couldn’t bring himself to meet the teasing gazes of the surrounding staff. Together with Si Huaixi, he walked straight towards the photo studio.
Little did Pei Zhaozhou know that his overly rosy lips had been noticed by the staff along the way.
Even the photographer responsible for taking wedding photos for couples registering at the Civil Affairs Bureau was the same.
The photographer was ecstatic. He never expected to have the opportunity to take wedding photos for His Majesty the King and General Pei. Just the thought of it made his colleagues envious enough to want to beat him up. Furthermore, he had never imagined that beneath His Majesty’s mask lay such astonishing and peerless beauty. When walking together with General Pei, they were the most striking, eye-catching, and well-matched newlywed couple he had ever seen!
Cough… However, His Majesty the King was a little too enthusiastic, causing General Pei’s lips to become swollen from the kisses. Perhaps it wouldn’t be so obvious in the photos…
Pei Zhaozhou seemed to notice the gazes around him. He initially thought the attention was solely due to Si Huaixi’s status as the King, but he realized that more eyes were focused on him.
Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes carried a hint of confusion as he turned his head and asked Si Huaixi, “Is there something wrong with me?”
Si Huaixi’s gaze momentarily paused. Pei Zhaozhou was dressed in a white and elegant suit, but his previously cold and dignified aura had been somewhat destroyed by his reddened lips from the kisses.
Obliviously, Pei Zhaozhou continued to gaze at him with innocent and ignorant eyes, which inexplicably stirred Si Huaixi’s desire to tease him further. Pei Zhaozhou’s shy yet proactive appearance was incredibly adorable, and Si Huaixi couldn’t help but adore him!
With a smile in his eyes, Si Huaixi lightly brushed his finger against Pei Zhaozhou’s lips and said with a smile, “No worries, Brother Pei. You look exceptionally handsome and charming today.”
Pei Zhaozhou’s eyebrows twitched. He immediately sensed something strange in Si Huaixi’s intentionally ambiguous words. After experiencing Si Huaixi’s mischievous nature behind his obedient face in the past few days, he felt a pang in his heart.
Pei Zhaozhou quickly asked the staff around him, “Do you have a mirror?”
A shy female assistant handed him one, and Pei Zhaozhou thanked her before being stunned by his own reflection in the mirror—his lips were flushed red.
Putting down the mirror, Pei Zhaozhou looked at Si Huaixi, who wore a playful smile, and flames of embarrassment and anger surged in his eyes.
Si Huaixi saw that the teasing had gone far enough and quickly extinguished the fire, saying, “Why don’t you kiss me back?”
This attempt to put out the fire was rather unsuccessful.
Pei Zhaozhou’s pupils dilated slightly, and he instantly lowered his gaze, looking at Si Huaixi with low pressure. His hand was itching for a fight.
The photographer and the surrounding staff trembled in fear, intimidated by the imposing presence of General Pei. They thought for a moment that this newlywed couple would quarrel right before their registration.
Pei Zhaozhou’s hand held Si Huaixi’s collar as he leaned in with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, planting a kiss on his lips. Si Huaixi’s eyes twinkled with a smile, patiently and obediently waiting for Brother Pei’s fiercely adorable kiss.
The photographer absentmindedly captured this… perhaps the most crucial and ‘outstanding’ wedding photo in the entire Blue Ark Empire.
The newlywed couple in the photo radiated exceptional handsomeness. Si Huaixi was refined and beautiful, while Pei Zhaozhou was cold, dignified, and elegant. The intertwined hands adorned with sparkling rings appeared to belong to the most awe-inspiring newlywed couple in the Blue Ark Empire, except…
Both of their lips bore the ambiguous traces of a kiss.
One pair of thin lips displayed a slight swelling.
The other pair of lips carried the moist marks of biting.
As they gazed at the camera, their blushing yet blissful smiles were frozen in time.
Marriage registration completed!
[Groom: Pei Zhaozhou, born in the year 30XX, Alpha, 36 years old.]
[Groom: Si Huaixi, born in the year 30XX, Beta, 23 years old.]
[Both parties have successfully registered as legally recognized spouses of the Empire.]
Coming out from the Civil Affairs Bureau, Pei Zhaozhou held the freshly issued red marriage booklet in his hand. As he looked at the embarrassingly provocative registration photo, he felt too ashamed to show it to anyone else.
In the photo, although the two of them appeared sweet, the evident traces of their ambiguous lips seemed capable of corrupting young children.
Si Huaixi cleared his throat, strangely feeling a twinge of guilt for half a second, then kissed Pei Zhaozhou’s cheek and said with a smile, “Isn’t it quite nice like this?”
Pei Zhaozhou merely lifted his gaze, his golden eyes resembling those of a large cat fixed on Si Huaixi, causing beads of sweat to form on the latter’s back. Si Huaixi wondered how to make Brother Pei happy.
Unexpectedly, Pei Zhaozhou burst into laughter, a touch of helplessness evident in his indulgent tone. “Yes, it looks quite nice.”
Si Huaixi also laughed, his ocean-blue eyes filled with tender warmth. He held Pei Zhaozhou’s hand and said, “Brother Pei, we’re married now!”
Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes curved as he nodded and smiled. “Yes, we are married.”
Meanwhile, friends and relatives waiting outside the Civil Affairs Bureau began to offer their congratulations.
The smart brain, Silver Arc immediately displayed electronic fireworks and a series of environmentally friendly firecracker sounds. “Crackling—crackling—Master! Congratulations on your wedding!”
“Dad! Daddy! Happy wedding! This is a wedding gift from Little Soybean!” Si Zhou joyfully gifted a jar filled with handmade stars, each one brimming with well wishes and wishes granted!
— Dad and Daddy may be happy forever!
— Dad and Daddy may forever be healthy and joyful!
— If Dad and Daddy ever lose each other again, Little Soybean wishes for you to reunite!
Little Soybean didn’t know that one of her wishes would truly come true in a parallel timeline.1I think the ‘parallel timeline’ refers to the alternate novel written by the author named ‘The Villainous Alpha Was Picked up by the Doomsday Boss.’
At this moment, everyone around extended their blessings to this newlywed couple.
Zhou Wenjia and his wife joined forces to present a honeymoon package for the newlyweds, allowing them to visit the most famous honeymoon getaway in the entire Blue Ark Empire, along with a series of recreational attractions.
Assistant Jin was moved to tears, relieved that President Pei had finally returned safely and reunited with the long-awaited King. Little did he expect that the cheesy romance novel he thought was called ‘President Pei’s Canary’ would turn into ‘His Majesty the King’s Queen Alpha Runs away with the Ball.’ In the end, President Pei returned safely with Princess Si Zhou, making it a perfect and heartwarming conclusion. It was truly a touching moment!
From Assistant Jin, who was sobbing uncontrollably, Pei Zhaozhou received a series of wedding gifts that were clearly meticulously prepared by Assistant Jin himself. However, Pei Zhaozhou found himself both amused and at a loss for words.
Assistant Jin had gifted him a large pile of books and videos containing secrets for newlywed couples, along with some small gifts to spice up their honeymoon romance. He even included a collection of sweet short stories set from the Green River, to make his newlywed life with Si Huaixi even sweeter.
As for Yi Chengze’s gift, it was quite outrageous. In front of Little Soybean, he presented them with aromatic potions he had developed to enhance their intimate life. Rumor had it that he had opened an online pharmacy, and these potions were top sellers, becoming his most profitable legal source of income.
Pei Zhaozhou’s smile froze for a moment, unsure whether he should accept the gift. In the end, Si Huaixi accepted it, casting an approving gaze toward Yi Chengze and mentioning an increase in his research funding for the quarter.
Compared to that, Irin’s gift was more normal. It was a practical household robot for newlyweds, capable of taking care of children, singing, storytelling, doing laundry, and cooking. It was the most popular new home robot on the empire’s market, and the one Irin gave them was the highest-quality custom version, optimized with many additional functions.
However, the nearby smart brain, Silver Arc, was angry, claiming that it could do everything the little robot did.
Irin smiled and explained to Silver Arc, pacifying its discontent. She pointed out that with Silver Arc’s advanced intelligence, it shouldn’t bother with such household chores and instead supervise the lower-end little robots. This explanation appeased Silver Arc, and it became calm and understanding.
Pei Zhaozhou breathed a sigh of relief as he accepted the gifts. However, Little Soybean brought up a question that hit a nerve.
Little Soybean asked expectantly, “Daddy, can we see your and Dad’s marriage certificate?”
“Oh right, we haven’t seen your marriage certificate yet. Let us take a look!” Friends and family around them chimed in.
Pei Zhaozhou’s smile froze as he remembered that ‘marriage certificate.’ If Little Soybean saw it, his reputation as a father would be completely ruined. He awkwardly changed the subject, saying, “How about we go eat now?”
There were no objections from the people around, but the topic of the marriage certificate occasionally resurfaced, only to be abruptly diverted by Pei Zhaozhou’s awkward words.
Si Huaixi chuckled softly, holding Pei Zhaozhou’s hand and teasing him in a low voice, “Brother Pei, why don’t we add a lock to the marriage certificate when we go back?”
Pei Zhaozhou, however, grasped his hand in return, his slightly flushed cheeks warming up, and whispered, “No need, actually, it’s fine just the way it is.”
Si Huaixi’s eyes sparkled, a sweet smile forming on his lips, and a soft chuckle escaped his throat.
— Brother Pei is simply so cute, I will never let go of him in this lifetime.
