Lei Ting and An Ning returned from Niujin University completely unaware that Liao Qian had gone to the hospital. Lei Ting carried An Ning into the courtyard and into the room. An Ning sat on the sofa, somewhat dazed. Lei Ting opened a bottle of wine, and An Ning stared blankly at his actions before reaching out and taking Lei Ting's arm.

Anning: "Don't drink anymore, your stomach hurts."

Thunder: "I'll have a drink to give me courage."

Only then did Anning notice that Lei Ting's flushed face was steaming. Before Anning could wonder, Lei Ting took a few sips of wine and led her to a dark room. Lei Ting placed Anning in the center, and the lights came on. Around Anning, crystal display cases illuminated a phoenix crown adorned with pearls and jade, a dragon and phoenix gown embroidered with Suzhou peonies, a crimson wedding robe with dragons and phoenixes, a crown studded with pink diamonds the size of pigeon eggs, and an ice-blue diamond wedding dress—each and every piece belonged to Anning. They surrounded Anning in the center. Lei Ting gently embraced her beside her.

Thunder: "You don't like material things, but every bit of love I give you is precious."

Anning slowly turned and hugged Leiting, tears welling up in her eyes like pearls. Leiting gently and tenderly wiped away her tears, soothing her back. No words were exchanged between them; their emotions had already intertwined countless times in their minds. Anning sobbed for a while before burying her head in Leiting's chest. Anning didn't know what to say. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. Leiting swiftly lifted her legs, her thighs clamping tightly around his waist, her arms around his neck. Their faces were only millimeters apart. Anning playfully leaned close to Leiting's lips, then pulled away as he responded. But Leiting wasn't about to let her escape.

A kiss that seemed to last forever. The two embraced each other's heads, caressing each other's bodies. Anning playfully bit Leiting's lower lip, and Leiting, not to be outdone, roamed over her body. Soon, their tongues began to dance, their saliva mingling and their bacteria exchanging. Their legs unconsciously retreated towards the living room. They kissed their way from the house to the living room, then pulled each other down onto the sofa. The lingering scent of wine in Leiting's mouth wafted through Anning's nostrils, and Anning's eyes gradually became hazy. Leiting loved seeing her like this.

When their eyes met, they drooled, as if they had devoured each other's hearts, unable to part. They didn't know how much time had passed until Anning came to her senses, panting heavily, and slowly pushed away Leiting, who was supporting his body with his legs, from her body.

Thunder: "I love you to death..."

Anning: "I love you too..."

Thunder: "Phew..."

Lei Ting relaxed on An Ning's body. After several days of preparation, having done everything himself, Lei Ting finally felt a little relaxed. An Ning's cool fingertips traced Lei Ting's back and waist, lingering on his neck.

Anning: "How much effort did you put into preparing this?"

Thunder: "Which one? I put a lot of thought into each one."

Anning: "Since you've already put in the effort, why are you still teasing Yaheng and Julie... Isn't that... too mischievous?"

Thunder: "They're definitely more intense than us right now! Anning, I didn't put any effort into the stage and decorations for the school anniversary celebration; Liao Qian and Allen did all the setup. Come and see these."

Lei Ting stood up and led An Ning into the house, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he explained the details of the items, pointing to the clothes among them. He seemed afraid that An Ning wouldn't understand his intentions.

Lei Ting: "Look at this phoenix crown. The jewels and jade on it are antiques. This pearl, as big as a dragon's eye, is a phoenix pearl. Legend has it that only a clam spirit that has lived for a thousand years can produce such a pearl. And look at this dragon and phoenix gown. The Suzhou embroidery of peonies was done by ten embroiderers over two years. The peonies are elegant and luxurious, which suits you very well. The number of dragons and phoenixes is calculated and matches your birth chart. And this wedding gown is the most noteworthy. It is an authentic work by a Ming Dynasty empress, a treasure that my grandfather has collected for many years. This is why I said I wanted to give you a traditional Chinese wedding, but we haven't held it for two years. It's because we had to prepare these things. Look at this crown. This pink diamond is the prized possession of Allen's shop. He said it's the third largest pink diamond on the market. The style of the crown is exclusive to the queen. I'm very satisfied with this wedding dress. I personally selected the diamonds on it. Each one is a masterpiece. Allen personally designed and made it. Look, the surface of these diamonds reflects your image through the shadow of the wedding dress."

Lei Ting had been preparing for An Ning's traditional Chinese wedding for two and a half years. These things expressed his heartfelt wishes, and An Ning felt that everything was fulfilled. Not only was she satisfied with herself two and a half years ago, but she was also satisfied with herself now. An Ning grabbed Lei Ting, not knowing how to express her feelings.

An Ning: "Thunder..."

Thunder: "What's wrong? Don't you like it? If you don't like it, throw it all away, and I'll prepare something new for you..."

An Ning: "I like it, I really like it."

Thunder: "It's a blessing for these things that you like them. It's a blessing that they've earned this for several lifetimes to be able to wear them."

An Ning: "Meeting you was the result of several lifetimes of good luck..."

Lei Ting: "Don't say that. You marrying me is a step down, and I marrying you is a step up. I don't want to ask for anything else. As long as you have me by your side, you can be happy and live the life you truly like, I will be happy and satisfied."

Anning: "I am truly content, truly satisfied. I have never been content with myself before, and I did not know how to be content. Since I met you, you have satisfied me in every way, whether it is my heart, my appearance, or my inner self. Leiting, my husband, I am willing to follow you to the ends of the earth. I don't have many words, and I won't make any vows, but I will say one thing: if I ever betray you in this life, may I never be reincarnated again and may I fall into hell."
