He was a man with a commanding presence, exuding authority even without anger. Just sitting on the sofa without saying a word was enough to make Zhu Jinzhao break out in a cold sweat.
"Hello, Uncle, this is a gift I picked out for you." Zhu Jinzhao tried her best to be well-behaved as she handed the gift to Shi Fei.
Shi Fei gave a cold "hmm," then pulled a terrifyingly heavy red envelope from his pocket.
"This is a small token of my appreciation from your uncle. Please accept it."
Zhu Jinzhao stared wide-eyed in astonishment, somewhat hesitant to accept the answer.
Upon seeing this, Wen Linyun immediately turned to look at Shi Fei. Seeing his pretentious manner, she understood why Zhu Jinzhao dared not accept the red envelope.
"Be normal..." she said through gritted teeth, secretly kicking Shi Fei.
Shi Fei didn't know why he was kicked, but he still subconsciously showed a smile.
"Please accept this red envelope today; it's a token of my appreciation..."
He said nice things, but in his heart he was shouting: Little girl, hurry up and take the red envelope, or your aunt will kick me to death!
"Take it." Wen Linyun looked at Zhu Jinzhao tenderly, her eyes filled with affection.
Zhu Jinzhao bit her lip before slowly reaching out to accept the heavy red envelope.
"Thank you, Uncle. Thank you, Auntie."
Wen Linyun: "You're welcome. We'll be family soon."
She knew that Zhu Jinzhao was a little frightened by Shi Fei, so in order to let Zhu Jinzhao calm down, she instigated Shi Jing to take Zhu Jinzhao out for a walk in the garden, and then she secretly taught Shi Fei a lesson.
"Can't you be normal for once?" She punched Shi Fei directly and scolded fiercely, "Zhao Chao is timid and an orphan. Can't you be a little gentler with him? What are you trying to do by putting on airs?"
"I... I wasn't putting on airs..." Shi Fei explained with a wronged expression, his face sharp and tough. "It was my first time meeting my future daughter-in-law, so I wanted to be serious and formal."
"Don't be serious!" Wen Linyun punched him again. "Your serious look is too scary, it'll scare Chaochao!"
Shi Fei frowned: "Then what should I do?"
Wen Linyun: "Smile! Smile wide! Smile as gently as you can!"
Shi Fei: "Oh."
After being severely reprimanded by his wife, Shi Fei became noticeably more obedient.
After strolling through the garden and returning to the living room, Shi Fei transforms into a kind and gentle old father.
He always squinted and laughed no matter what Zhu Jinzhao said, making Zhu Jinzhao feel uneasy.
"Mom, why is Dad laughing so much today? And his laughter is so idiotic." Shi Jing couldn't stand it and secretly complained to Wen Linyun.
Wen Linyun rolled her eyes speechlessly, grabbed Zhu Jinzhao's hand and said, "Ignore him, he's out of his mind today."
"..." Zhu Jinchao dared not speak.
After meeting the parents, Shi Fei and Wen Linyun met with Jiang Jingwen, the representative of Zhu Jinzhao's family, and Zhu Xingye.
The two sides finalized the young couple's wedding date at the dinner table.
The wedding date was set for March, a time of warm spring weather and blooming flowers.
Two days before the wedding, Zhu Jinzhao suddenly became anxious.
She sat on the sofa, looking at the two bright red marriage certificates in front of her, and suddenly sighed.
"Shi Jing, I'm only twenty-two years old this year. Isn't it too early to get married?"
"...What do you mean?" Shi Jing panicked instantly.
He put down the poster he was halfway through drawing, and without even putting on his slippers, he rushed to Zhu Jinzhao and knelt down in front of her.
"Chaochao, we've already registered our marriage, and we're getting married in a couple of days. What do you mean by saying this now?"
Zhu Jinzhao pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I didn't mean anything, I just suddenly felt that it might be too early for me to get married now?"
"..." Shi Jing's face darkened, and he remained silent.
May he frolic wildly in his minefield today.
"How about we wait another two years?"
"..."
Shi Jing remained silent, but suddenly leaned forward, swept Zhu Jinzhao into his arms, and walked straight into the room.
"...Shi Jing? What do you want to do?" Zhu Jinzhao suddenly had a bad feeling.
As Shi Jing walked, he said, "What am I waiting for! I've been dating you for three years, and I finally got to marry you. Don't even think about backing out now."
Zhu Jinzhao: "So where do you plan to take me now?"
Shi Jing lowered his eyes and stared at her, his dark eyes unfathomable: "I'll take you back to the room and have you, so you won't think about those messy things anymore."
"Ah!" Zhu Jinzhao cried out in embarrassment and indignation, her face instantly turning red. "Didn't we agree to do that after the wedding?"
“Yes.” Shi Jing kicked open the door to the room, carried Zhu Jinzhao inside and threw her onto the bed. Then, while unbuttoning his own pajamas, he leaned down and pressed down on Zhu Jinzhao.
“We did make an agreement, and I did wait patiently for three years, but you’ve been misbehaving lately, so I’ve decided to go back on my word.”
After saying that, he opened his mouth and kissed Zhu Jinzhao's lips.
Zhu Jinzhao was so dizzy from his kisses that her pajamas were ripped open.
"I...I'll admit it..." Only then did she realize her mistake and quickly apologized, "I won't tease you anymore, and you don't mind that we got married too early!"
"Hmph..." Shi Jing chuckled mischievously, reached out and took off her pajamas, then threw them aside.
"Chao Chao, it's too late, I'm going to have you today!"
"Time Mirror..."
This was the last lucid murmur Zhu Jinzhao uttered tonight.
The next day, she still hadn't woken up even when the sun was high in the sky.
Looking at the red marks all over her body, Shi Jing couldn't help but smile.
"Chao Chao... Chao Chao?"
He was too bored to be awake alone, so he decided to bother Zhu Jinzhao.
Zhu Jinzhao hadn't slept at all, and didn't even want to open her eyes, only mumbling in her sleep, "You're so annoying..."
"Okay, I'm annoyed." Shi Jing kissed her face and then her neck, but as he kissed her, he started to get restless again.
Zhu Jinzhao grabbed his hand and wouldn't let him move: "No, you can't until the wedding."
"This is the last time." Shi Jing shamelessly clung to her, kissing her as he said, "I promise this is the last time, okay?"
Zhu Jinchao frowned, not believing his nonsense: "You said it was the last time many times last night, but you didn't keep your word even once!"
"Hmph," Shi Jing laughed rather proudly, "I really promise this is the last time, okay, wife?"
A soft, sweet "wife" instantly melted Zhu Jinzhao's heart. Her heart raced, and she was immediately powerless against Shi Jing.
She cautiously responded to Shi Jing's kiss, softly asking, "One last time?"
Shi Jing pulled her into his arms and held her tightly: "The last two times."
"you--"
All of Zhu Jinzhao's resistance was silenced by Shi Jing. However, she didn't complain at all; on the contrary, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Because Shi Jing just called her wife!
