Chapter 767 Official (2)

The cup trembled in Serena’s hands as she stared at her son. Then her gaze shifted to Guiying’s side whose face was the shade of a beet. They had finally announced that they were officially together. Needless to say, the family took turns in registering their shock.

Chen Liling was the first to hug them who shed tears of joy. “Congratulations! Oh my gosh, the good news is finally here!”

The twins joined in the chaos too and twirled round and round with Zixin and Guiying. “So sister-in-law is now officially our sister-in-law!”

Yubi squealed. “I will go on loads of shopping trips together with her!”

“You have already gone on loads of shopping trips with her. Don’t tire her anymore,” Yunru glared at her.

“Don’t be so jealous!”

“Oof, move out of my way!” Serena dug her way through the fighting twins and reached them. “Aish, I am so happy for you two.”

Guiying cleared her throat. “Th-thank you Aunt…”

“Shouldn’t you be calling me Mom now? It’s official!”

She choked. “I-I am still his j-just girlfriend-”

She waved a hand of dismissal. “It won’t take much long to become his wife. Might as well get used to it now.”

“…”

“Don’t scare the poor girl,” Jianyu shook his head.

Serena glared back at him. “How come you always have to say something against me! Don’t you want her to call you Dad too?”

“When she is comfortable and ready, not by pouncing on her. They have just gotten together.”

“You men don’t understand a woman’s feelings at all!” She let out her grievances.

“…”

Chen Guiren patted his shoulder as if it wasn’t wise to fight with the wives.

Serena nodded with appreciation. She pinched Zixin’s cheeks and gave a pep talk. “Mom is very happy to hear this awesome news. Now as her boyfriend, you must always take care of Guiying and never give her any chance to complain like your father does.”

Jianyu spread his hands wide, dumbfounded. “I have always been a good husband.”

“That is debatable, Mr. Chen.”

“…”

Zixin sincerely listened to his mother and said, “Don’t worry, Mom. I will always treat Guiying like a precious princess.”

Needless to say, her face turned redder and brighter. His hand squeezed hers tighter, making her heart skip several beats.

Chen Liling clapped with appreciation. “That’s like my grandson. Now we won’t take much of your lovey-dovey time~ We will let you go.”

“Whaaaat?” Yunru was heavily dissatisfied. “What do you mean let them go? We still have to get the juicy details of the confession and especially the kiss! In detail!”

Guiying wished she could faint.

“So shameless Yunru,” Yubi chided.

“Don’t you shameless me! I know you are dying to know it equally hmph!”

Serena smacked on their heads. “No bothering them! They need some private time. You can chomp on their heads later.”

She forced her palm on Yunru’s mouth much to his displeasure and smiled at them. “The twins won’t bother you. You must be tired after the event too. Take some good rest.”

They nodded and left.

Watching them leave with the sunshine of a smile on their lips, tears grew in Serena’s eyes. “It was a pleasant surprise really. It feels like both of them have accepted and settle

Everybody slowly nodded. They weren’t sure what has changed but were glad that whatever happened, happened for the best.

Guiying coughed as she stood outside her room and said, “So…

will see you later.”

She quickly wanted to disappear into her room, but Zixin stopped the door from closing and stepped inside her. “This is unfair for you to throw your boyfriend out already.”

“I-I am not throwing you out. You are misunderstanding…”

He smiled and held her hand. “So you want me in your room, is it?”

“I didn’t say that…”

“But you just said that I am misunderstanding. That means you don’t want to throw me out. That means you want me to be here with you.”

Her brow twitched. “I mean that everybody is t-tired so everybody should rest.”

“I am not tired.”

“But I am.”

His mischievous chuckle made her feel more nervous than pleasant. “I will do all the work, I promise. I won’t let you lift even a single finger.”

Her face burned several shades of a mixture of red and pink. Before she could stutter her reply, Zixin sneakily snaked his arm around her waist and shut the few feet of remaining distance between them.

His fingers traced their way from her cheeks to behind her ear towards her soft hair, twirling a lock of it against his finger. She shuddered with his teasing touch tapping everywhere on her face.

He bent and whispered near her ear, his lips touching but at the same time not touching it either. “You should shed away all the shyness now. After all, I am your boyfriend.”

Her breath got caught in her throat, hearing the word ‘boyfriend.’ It was still hard to believe that after crossing all the hurdles in her life in which at one point, she had almost given up on her love for MrPerfect, today would actually arrive where they now stood in a relationship.

“Shall we continue from where we left off at the cherry blossom tree? You didn’t let me kiss you for long.”

“W-we were outside!”

“But now we are inside.”

“…”

He tipped her chin up and softly pecked her forehead. Then he kissed her inviting cheek bone and the even more inviting corner of her lip. Watching her lips tremor darkened his gaze and her quivering neckline expressed the gush of emotions coursing through her. He gently tapped a finger upon that tremble and her sweet, raspy gasp reached his ear.

It was tempting to trouble her more so without any hesitation, he dropped a kiss on her neck, firm and passionate. A jolt passed across his embrace in which he held her and enjoyed every bit of her reaction. He didn’t intend to go that level of intimacy yet, but just wanted to rile up and make a mess of her heart.

He smiled proudly. “This feels great.”

Then he seriously said, “It will feel more great if I sleep beside you. More comfortable.”

Guiying blushed hard and gently pushed away. “My b-boyfriend will have to wait for a long time for that.”

Hearing the sweet two syllables gushed a flood of happiness in his heart. He hugged her hard. “I don’t know if I should be happy that you called me your boyfriend or sad that you rejected me to sleep beside you.”

Guiying grinned. “Well, love is always bittersweet, isn’t it?”

He pressed his arms across her back and whispered. “The bitter time is over for us. Our love will always be the sweetest from now on, Guiying. I promise.”𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚
