  No longer having any speaking rights at the press conference, Ji Yan could only silently leave the venue, amid the cold looks of the reporters, like a street rodent that everyone abhorred……

  On a neon-lit rooftop.

  Yun Shishi was tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ears while leaning against the railings when her husband hugged her from behind and nestled his chin in the crook of her neck.

  He then softly cooed, “What’s on your mind?”


  She let out a low chuckle, then pursed her lips and shyly replied, “I-I just find everything that has happened today somewhat surreal……”


  “Surreal?”


  “Yeah……” Her eyelashes drooped at that point. “I felt despair and then hope, having gone to heaven from hell in an instant. The suddenness of it all made me feel somewhat overwhelmed.”


  “Despair?” The man arched a brow in seeming incomprehension, then he turned the woman around and forced her to meet his gaze. “Why would you feel that way?”


  “Before you came, the reporters were like a mad horde that wanted to swallow me alive. They’re trying to cook up some searing exposé about me. I was in utter despair at that time!”


  After a pause, she slightly hooked her lips upward. Her eyes softened as she continued. “And then you arrived, together with our children, like God descending on Earth and openly declared our relationship to the public. I was somewhat dazed and……”


  Her words trailed off as she pondered on what to say next, but upon finding herself to be behaving in an affected fashion, she sighed and spoke. “You know what? There were many moments where I felt incredibly blessed tonight, so I couldn’t help worrying that God might see me as an eyesore and banish me back to hell.”


  “You trust in the unknown so much?” Mu Yazhe narrowed his eyes. “You even gave Youyou the name ‘Tianyou’
; just how superstitious are you?”


  “That’s because humans are all born different,” she retorted with an indifferent pout. “I’m not being superstitious; it’s just that fate really works in such mysterious ways that I can’t help but believe in it!”


  “You’re such a fool!” Out of resignation and indulgence, the man placed a kiss on her glabella. “From here onward, just place your faith in me. There’s no need for you to believe in heaven.”


  “Well, God rules the world! You want to replace Him? Hah! What huge ambition you’ve got!” Even though she appeared to be rebuking her husband, she was actually chuckling inwardly.

  “I don’t have such huge ambitions! All I want……” The man left his words hanging as he took a long look at her. A wicked smile bloomed on his face, then he leaned close to her to the point where their noses touched and continued speaking. “.……Is to rule over you.”


  He ended his statement by placing his lips against her warm yet soft ones, which had such a magnetic pull that they almost drove him crazy. He could not stop kissing her; his tongue pushed her lips apart and dove into her oral cavity, claiming and eliciting more kisses from her.

  Alas, even in such a quiet and romantic moment like this one, there would always be some tactless people who did not know better than disrupt the mood.

  The crackling sound of sparklers could be heard from afar.

  “Daddy! Mommy!”


  Their eldest son’s naïve voice floated over, startling the woman into pushing her husband away. She then saw the two twins waving sparklers in the air as they ran to the rooftop.
