Chapter 62: The Beastmen Gather
The next day, Nan Jiao suddenly woke up from her bed. She glanced at the alarm clock next to her and, sure enough, it was an hour later than she had set.
The door was pushed open, and Nan Jiao saw Lu Xiao striding in. He was wearing a military uniform with many gold medals on his chest. He was already tall and had long legs, and the uniform showed off his superior physique.
His hair was meticulously styled into a slicked-back look, revealing a full forehead. His pupils were a deep blue, like a lake rippling with waves. His nose was high and straight with sharp lines, and his slightly plump lips were incredibly sexy, exuding hormones.
Nan Jiao was scratching her head in frustration when she saw Lu Xiao and paused for a moment, staring at him for several seconds without realizing it.
She admitted that Lu Xiao was handsome, but he was especially handsome today.
When Lu Xiao saw that she was awake, he came over and chuckled as he pinched her cheek: "Awake? Why are you staring at your husband like that?"
Nan Jiao blinked: "Why didn't you call me? There's only one hour left until our appointment. What if we're late?"
"I really didn't want to disturb you because you were sleeping so soundly. Since it's a happy day, you should get enough sleep so you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau comfortably." He pointed to the foot of the bed: "Don't panic. I've already prepared your clothes, perfume, and a driver to take us there. Oh, and I've also packed our son. Everything is ready except for the final step."
As soon as he finished speaking, a round little head peeked in and ran in. Lu Yanyan was wearing a black suit and a red tie, looking quite professional. The funniest thing was that Lu Xiao had styled his hair into a slicked-back look, which, combined with his chubby little face, made him incredibly adorable.
Nan Jiao couldn't help but laugh out loud. She carefully examined Lu Xiao and Yan Yan, and from this angle, the two looked exactly like they were cut from the same mold, one big and one small.
Lu Xiao looked serious: "Although the brat isn't photogenic today, I've booked a photoshoot, so we can take a family photo."
Because Nan Jiao needed to change her clothes, Yan Yan was quickly pulled out by Lu Xiao.
Taking the clothes Lu Xiao had prepared, Nan Jiao opened them and looked at them: "Did you prepare this yourself?" She teased, "Isn't it ugly in a unique way?"
"Who do you think you are? I consulted the designers in the royal palace."
Nan Jiao touched the dress in her hands, which felt wonderfully soft. Looking at its simple yet elegant design, she instantly fell in love with it: "Looks like you have good taste..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao immediately leaned his cheek closer: "Hmm, what about the reward?"
Nan Jiao leaned closer and, sure enough, saw Lu Xiao turn his head again. She chuckled and stepped back, saying, "I knew you were up to your old tricks, Lu Xiao."
Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes, a smile playing on them, and propped himself up on the bed: "I didn't expect you to see through me."
Nan Jiao chuckled and gently kissed his lips: "But considering you did quite well today, this is a reward you deserve."
Lu Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his voice hoarse: "I want more..."
Nan Jiao was kissed by him once again; the kiss was lingering yet passionate.
Nan Jiao reached out and gently pinched Lu Xiao's waist, scolding him, "Alright, I need to hurry up and get ready. Don't forget we have important business to attend to."
Lu Xiao, still savoring the moment, stared intently at her delicate lips with his deep gaze: "This matter isn't urgent. Let's continue what we haven't finished yet."
"Have you forgotten that this time period was an auspicious time that you had someone calculate for you?"
Lu Xiao seemed to suddenly realize something: "Right... this is the best time in the last three years..." He smiled and helped Nan Jiao tidy her hair: "Then let's do it your way and get down to business first."
After Nan Jiao washed up and changed her clothes, her makeup team designed a light makeup look that made her already beautiful and lively face even more stunning.
Lu Xiao watched intently from the side the whole time. When it came to the final step of applying lipstick, he took the light-colored lipstick from the makeup artist, squatted down, and gently applied it for her, looking very serious.
His rough fingers lingered on the side of her face, then he chuckled softly, "Alright."
He stood up, leaned close to Nan Jiao's ear, and said slowly in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I really want to kiss your lipstick off, but you'll definitely be angry, so... let's save it for tonight."
Nan Jiao glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, but Lu Xiao held her fingers and kissed them: "You're especially beautiful... Although you're beautiful every day and I can't take my eyes off you, just thinking that your beauty today is because of me makes my heart feel like it's going to jump out of my chest. You don't believe me? Listen..."
Lu Xiao held Nan Jiao's hand and placed it on his chest.
Thump thump...
Nan Jiao laughed and said, "It seems those certificates weren't for nothing. Your way of praising people is different now."
"Of course, after all, I don't want you to go out and meet those females and mention me only for my high combat strength."
Nan Jiao's expression shifted slightly: "Silly boy, actually, even if you don't take the certification exam, in my heart..."
Having not said sweet nothings in a long time, Nan Jiao seemed a little awkward: "He's also very handsome..."
“It’s different. If you want to talk about artistic topics again, you can talk to me. You don’t need to ask outsiders.” His tone was a little sour, clearly still thinking about Qi Han.
The clock hands pointed precisely to "9", and Nan Jiao and Lu Xiao took Yan Yan out the door together.
Inside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Nan Jiao smiled at the camera.
This wasn't her first time taking photos, but her mindset was very different from last time. Last time, she was forced to take photos with those men; she had to abide by the interstellar laws of this strange world. But now, her heart was filled with happiness and joy.
When Lu Xiao put his arm around her waist, she felt a long-lost shyness, like a young girl.
With a "click," happiness was forever frozen in that moment.
Yan Yan, standing next to her, excitedly waved her arms and legs, shouting, "Mommy and Daddy are getting married again—!"
After the formalities were completed, the family happily left the Civil Affairs Bureau. Suddenly, Lu Xiao's expression turned cold, and a murderous intent suddenly arose from his body.
He sensed a rival in love and hugged Nan Jiao even tighter.
Nan Jiao was about to ask him what was wrong when she saw several incredibly handsome males slowly walking down from a luxurious spaceship. Although each had their own unique features, they all looked like they had stepped out of a comic book.
"Lu Xiao, you're really dishonest. If we hadn't noticed something was wrong, how long were you going to keep her hidden?"
Nan Jiao froze instantly. Looking at the several very familiar males in front of her, Nan Jiao had not yet figured out how to face them.
All of this happened so suddenly.
"Baby, you're so heartless, abandoning your husband and child..."
