Chapter 860: Chapter 853: The Rite of Husband and Wife

That night, Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue sat on the terrace of the duplex in Hai City, enjoying a candlelit dinner.

The steak and lobster were freshly airlifted from Australia, and the sashimi was flown in right after being traded at sea, along with newly auctioned white truffles and more, just these ingredients made for a top-notch setup.

Coupled with a chef brought in from the Time Hotel, this dinner was incredibly luxurious.

Why did the couple who registered in Yongcheng during the day come to the rooftop in Hai City to enjoy the wind, view, and drink at night?

Obviously, all of this was someone’s meticulous arrangement.

Getting the marriage certificate is a day of paramount importance and must be celebrated. Lin Wanwan couldn’t find a reason to say "no," so she followed along.

"Wanwan, shouldn’t we take wedding photos?"

Lu Shouyue leisurely picked the bones from the grilled small yellow croaker.

With a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right, he lightly pressed the fish’s back with the fork, using the dining knife along the spine to separate the fish flesh from both sides. With a simple flick, a complete fishbone was removed.

He slightly arranged the fish and garnishes, restoring the fish’s appearance, then gently pushed the plate in front of Lin Wanwan with an air of elegance and naturalness.

Watching his expression and movements, one might think he was handling a piece of art.

To make food so intricate, it’s surely something only a true foodie would delve into.

"I’m really full; you eat it yourself." Lin Wanwan looked at the fish on the plate and pushed it back.

After a pause, she continued, "Wedding photos are staged, exhausting, and pretentious. It doesn’t seem that necessary. Didn’t you hire a photography team for the engagement party? We can take a few pictures then."

The certificate was obtained, but the mandatory wedding photo process hadn’t been scheduled.

Lin Wanwan adopted a go-with-the-flow attitude towards everything about the wedding, leaving worries to Lu Shouyue.

The only thing she exerted effort on for their wedding was adding luxury furniture and soft furnishings to the matrimonial home.

Upon hearing Lu Shouyue mention wedding photos, she finally thought about them, but clearly wasn’t enthusiastic.

Lu Shouyue raised his head without speaking, his deep eyes fixed on her. Under the contrast of starry skies and lights, the subtle curve of his lips held profound meaning.

Lin Wanwan turned her head toward the boundless night view outside the terrace, troubled, "Do we really need to take them?"

"If you don’t like it, never mind." Lu Shouyue’s tone showed little emotion.

Lin Wanwan turned back, looked at him, and changed her mind, "It’s not that I don’t like it; you just make the arrangements."

"Alright."

The candlelight quietly burned, the flickering flame reflecting in Lu Shouyue’s eyes. He picked up a soft white wet towel from the plate on the table, meticulously cleaning his long hands.

Then he instructed the chef’s attendant not far away, "Pack everything up, we’re done dining, thanks."

"Yes."

The service staff swiftly tidied up, soon placing everything in a dining car, bowing slightly before departing.

Now, the only ones left on the terrace were the newlywed couple sitting face-to-face, quietly sharing a moment, when the doorbell rang at the entrance.

The bodyguard sitting in the living room went to answer the door.

Lin Wanwan knew it was the person delivering the engagement party’s bespoke dress.

Before coming, they’d contacted Lu Shouyue by phone, and the property management called to confirm upon arrival at the gate.

Lu Shouyue led Lin Wanwan to stand, "Let’s go, the dress has arrived, time for a fitting."

Lin Wanwan complied smoothly, "Sure."

For a dress fitting, of course, a bath comes first.

The two went upstairs together; Lin Wanwan’s hair was washed just yesterday, unwilling to wash and blow-dry again, so she wrapped her hair in a shower cap.

After bathing, Lin Wanwan wrapped herself in a towel and returned to her room to try on the dress laid out on the bed.

The back zipper couldn’t be completely fastened, so she just zipped it halfway, then held her skirt, pushed open the sliding door, and entered the walk-in closet to look in the full-length mirror.

In the mirror, the person had skin as fair as snow, a slender waist, and her face and hair still held hints of moisture.

The gray-blue square-neck dress adorned with crystals complemented her skin, made with heavy workmanship and slightly trailing on the floor, even with Lin Wanwan’s height, high heels were a necessary match.

The dress highlighted her figure, the color not strongly saturated, giving a sophisticated and graceful air.

Indeed, handmade creations have soul; although pricey, this bespoke dress was exceptionally beautiful.

As she was absorbed in her reflection, she heard soft footsteps.

As she saw the tall and handsome figure appearing behind her in the mirror, Lin Wanwan’s back stiffened slightly.

"Wanwan, your zipper is undone, let me help you." Lu Shouyue stepped forward, his warm fingers gently brushed over her tank top, and said in a low voice.

Lin Wanwan quickly lowered her head, her heart involuntarily began pounding wildly.

Lu Shouyue effortlessly lifted her and carried her straight to the master bedroom where Lin Wanwan had always slept.

Lin Wanwan dared not look at him, burying her head in his neck, her heart fluttering like a deer.

Lu Shouyue sat with her on the bed, watching as her long lashes softly drooped, her lips vivid, especially stunning.

A touch of blush spread across her face, from her cheeks to her neck, visibly turning pink.

Unable to bear his silent gaze, Lin Wanwan turned her head slightly.

The next second, she was beneath Lu Shouyue, who passionately kissed her, his hands moving more wantonly than ever before, as if abandoning all restraint.

Lin Wanwan felt the dress she had just put on, the zipper pulled open and stripped off, the previously tidy bed suddenly became disordered.

"Wanwan..." Lu Shouyue’s deep, magnetic voice full of desire whispered beside her ear, "Is it okay?"

Her hands were guided by Lu Shouyue towards his abdomen, and from his firm and frantic movements, Lin Wanwan understood what was about to happen.

In an instant, her breath caught in tension, her fingers stiffened.

Lu Shouyue gently kissed her ear: "Baby, don’t be nervous... relax."

In a daze, she seemed to respond, her consciousness gradually descending...

When she woke again, it was already morning the next day.

At seven o’clock sharp, the outer blackout layer of the smart curtains slowly opened, and the morning sun shone through the two layers of white cotton curtains into the room.

Lin Wanwan was awakened by the light, suddenly alarmed by a thought.

The sheets are dirty!

She abruptly opened her eyes, realizing she was still tightly held in someone’s arms.

Lu Shouyue’s eyes were slightly closed, but it was clear he was awake too, his hand moving casually on her soft skin.

Lin Wanwan shivered all over, pulling his hand away.

She felt as if her bones were falling apart, completely devoid of strength.

The two hadn’t slept all night, transitioning from restraint to indulgence took only a mere breakthrough.

Lu Shouyue had long known how much he was infatuated with Lin Wanwan, but only after truly experiencing it did he understand the lasting desire.

From the moment Lin Wanwan first stayed at his house, he had fantasized about how he would have his way with her on that bed.

Last night’s fantasies all came true, his soul felt afloat, nothing but contentment in his heart.

Thinking about last night, Lu Shouyue became excited again, opened his eyes, and without a word leaned in to seal her lips, kissing deeper and deeper.

Lin Wanwan truly couldn’t stand it, she hit his back: "Lu Shouyue! You’re doing it again!"

"Ouch!" Lu Shouyue cried out theatrically, "Wanwan, you’re murdering your husband!"

Lin Wanwan’s strength was genuinely powerful, though she didn’t use her full strength, her hit still reddened his back.

Claiming it didn’t hurt was false, but his exaggerated shouting was certainly feigned.

"It’s because you ask for too much." Lin Wanwan muttered, rolling over and taking most of the soft silk quilt with her, wrapping herself tightly.

Lu Shouyue looked at her with a smile: "Want me to carry you to the shower?"

He said shamelessly, got out of bed stark naked, standing at the bedside.

Though clearly viewed each other thoroughly last night, Lin Wanwan was still dumbfounded by Lu Shouyue’s carefree abandon at this moment.

He stood there at her bedside!!!

Lin Wanwan immediately closed her eyes: "I’m not showering, I want to keep sleeping."

A low chuckle came from above, Lin Wanwan felt the pillow sink, familiar lips pressed against hers, someone insistently kissed her hard before leisurely leaving.

Lin Wanwan heard the sliding door open, then opened her eyes, slightly lifting her head, watching Lu Shouyue walk into the ensuite bathroom, soon hearing the sound of showering water.

She quickly got out of bed, but as soon as she moved, her legs went weak, finding a delicate little trash bin beside her, filled with all of Lu Shouyue’s progeny from the night.

This guy even prepared several types of condoms, he clearly anticipated everything.
