Meanwhile, on the red carpet, Shao Yanxiâs eye tears up slightly. Even though the words arenât exactly melodramatic, but when the host reads out his and Liu Yuâanâs history together, he just canât help it.
He holds Liu Yuâanâs hand a bit more tightly, which makes him look towards him. Seeing his twinkling eyes, he also squeezes hand a little to soothe him.
On the platform, they make the same vows again. Yet, the atmosphere, and the feelings thereof are also different.
Shao Yanxi holds Liu Yuâanâs hands really tightly when exchanging vows, then Liu Yuâan reads his vow to him while looking him gently in the eye.
And then, they exchange rings, and then, a kiss. Itâs been a long time since theyâve had such a pure, non-sensual kiss.
Liu Yuâan quietly whispers to Shao Yanxi when they separate, âI will take care of you well. Forever.â
âMe too.â Then Shao Yanxi pokes another light kiss on Liu Yuâanâs lips.
The guests present and the public watching the livestream ââŚâ
âShit. I got inspired to also marry, but itâs all lies; I needed a wife who is as sweet as well!â
âTheyâre so sweet together.â
âhey has anyone started a cp group yet? i need oneâ
âsis, working on it right now!â
This time, there are still no relatives on Shao Yanxiâs side when presenting tea, but Shao Yanxi felt different.
Last time, there was more surprise at Liu Yuâan not running out, fear and worry from suddenly transmigrating in the past⌠This time, he is left only with happiness, happiness that he could marry Liu Yuâan.
Liu Yuâanâs parents are different as well, of course. Shao Yanxi himself would prefer His Majesty and Her Highness though, because the parents back in the Virtual World were a bit too⌠subservient.
Though that said, while Shao Yanxi no longer had parents, but Liu Yuâanâs parents, both in the Virtual World and here, are still really good people, both to him and others.
While presenting tea, the parents hand them red packets. Shao Yanxi didnât think much, but after going home, and opening it, it turns out itâs actually the rights to an entire energy-type solar system.
Shao Yanxi is really surprised.
âOh, theyâre unexpectedly generous,â Liu Yuâan is also surprised. If he recalls, his sisters-in-law only had energy planets themselves.
Though then Liu Yuâan thinks it through and concludes that it might be his parents thinking Shao Yanxi doesnât have anything here; his sisters-in-law already had support and other gifts from their own families, along with other benefits. This is their way of caring for Shao Yanxi.
He planned to give it a secret, but then after finding out that Shao Yanxi browsed many forums and posts on the in-laws relationships and how to smoothly integrate into a family, he decides to tell him.
Both to show that his parents donât think anything worse of him, and, with him aware and thankful for his parents, they will likely be able to feel his genuine emotion despite Shao Yanxiâs poker face.
As expected, after a while, Shao Yanxi has clearly warmed up to his parents, having chats with them on the phone. Earlier today his mother even invited him to some social function together.
The unfortunate side effect though is that soon enough, they start heading out to all sorts of social events, leaving Liu Yuâan behind. His mother would go âhe also needs a social life!â âYou spend enough time together cuddling as it is, donât you,â and make him rub his nose in response.
He could only sigh at seeing how popular Shao Yanxi is among the older ladies. A prominent example was his âmotherâ back in the Virtual World, and now his real mother too, and according to news and photos of social events, both back in the Virtual World and here, on Galnet, also many of the upper-class ladies.
What kind of strange chick magnet is that, even? Maybe he should make Shao Yanxi have a check-up.
Check-ups aside, and after many protests from Liu Yuâan and even a slightly exaggerated report to his father to stir up his jealousy, Shao Yanxi and his mother have finally toned it down and let them have some more me-time together.
Liu Yuâan suggests that they go on another honeymoon in the Virtual Worlds.
Shao Yanxi looks at him nonplussed, âweâve been married for an entire year.â
Besides, over this year theyâve already visited a lot of the famous location both on and off Galnet, so has their honeymoon really ever ended?
âYou donât know when you havenât seen it, but some of these Virtual Worlds are really interesting. You remember how different our Main World is from your homeworld, right? Weâve got space cruisers and theyâve got cars; weâve got pods and theyâve got⌠VR? ⌠Anyway, wanna go?â
âWhich world should we pick?â Liu Yuâan really is a smooth talker. Just a few nights on the bed while they were having an happy time and even Shao Yanxi is convinced.
âPrehistoric? Ancient? Medieval? Pre-modern? Modern? Future? They all exist. Thereâs even the more fantastical cultivation worlds with Realms of the Yaoguai and Devil and Ascendant⌠Anything you want.â Then Liu Yuâan gives Shao Yanxi an entire bucketload of travel brochures for the Virtual World tours. God knows how long heâs been hoarding them.
âThereâs all sorts of worlds described in these. Letâs look them over and see which one you want to try, then we can go there.â
â⌠Sure,â heâs seen worse when his company had trouble. He can do this.
