Volume Ten: Those Few Years After She and I Broke Up
Extra Chapter: The Not-So-Loving Old Friends.
The date for Wen Nuan and You Jiayi’s wedding was set: the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
It was the Qixi Festival, symbolizing a love that is long and lasting.
Arranged by the Xu Family, the wedding was held directly on Shangquan Island.
There were many guests, including elites from various industries. Media outlets alone numbered in the dozens, ready to livestream this grand and dreamy event.
Wen Nuan had sent invitations to every actor, singer, or director You Jiayi had ever worked with. It was her way of building connections for You Jiayi’s future acting career.
Although Wen Nuan considered herself You Jiayi’s greatest connection and background, she didn’t want to hinder her from expanding her social circle.
The wedding spanned three days and two nights. It was as if night never fell on Shangquan Island; energetic songs, hot dances, singing, and laughter filled every corner.
Over those two days, You Jiayi cycled through more than a dozen wedding dresses. Between the outfit changes and makeup touch-ups, she was spun around until she was dizzy.
Wen Nuan, on the other hand, switched into a white blazer dress after the main ceremony. It was loose, convenient, and exuded a free and lazy vibe.
By the time the wedding concluded, the two of them were completely exhausted. They didn’t have the strength to start any trouble; they just lay on the big bed in the bridal chamber and slept in a state of dark heaven and earth1.
The outside world gave a very grand title to their magnificent wedding.
——The Shocking, Jaw-Dropping Wedding of the Century.
Wen Nuan held You Jiayi as they lay on the soft, large bed, and sneered, “This title gives me an inexplicable sense of shame.”
You Jiayi yawned, sat up, and stretched lazily. “Everyone went crazy playing at this wedding.”
Wen Nuan looked at You Jiayi’s smooth back, leaned in, and kissed it. “Indeed, it delayed us from doing serious business.”
You Jiayi was pressed back onto the bed by Wen Nuan. “You still have strength?”
“I still have the strength to do you.”
Wen Nuan hooked the corner of her mouth. “What… don’t believe me?”
Slender hands suddenly grabbed and wrinkled the bedsheets.
You Jiayi’s expression froze, and she took a deep breath. “Let me just…”
The word “rest” never made it out; Wen Nuan wouldn’t give her the chance to catch her breath.
At the very least, they had to make up for their wedding night.
When You Jiayi woke up again, the sky was already bright, but the person beside her was nowhere to be found.
She got up with difficulty, grabbed a dress to slip on, and walked out.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw two people on the beach opposite Wen Nuan, looking as if they were radiating light.
“Rare guests, hmm?”
Wen Nuan had still been sleeping when she heard the faint crackle of electric static.
As a Mission Taker, she was very familiar with this sound.
She tucked You Jiayi in, put on some clothes, and walked out, meeting the two “acquaintances” as expected.
Yan Hui tilted her head to glance at You Jiayi on the stairs. Seeing her standing there steadily, the look she gave Wen Nuan was filled with disdain and contempt.
“You can’t do it, huh?”
Letting her own lover walk out of bed the morning after the wedding night?!
She shouldn’t mention knowing her in the future.
Wen Nuan knew what Yan Hui was implying. She sneered back, “You think everyone shares your lack of humanity?”
Yan Hui shrugged. “Saying more only proves you can’t do it.”
Wen Nuan rolled her eyes at her, then looked toward the Main God. “Regarding Jiayi, thank you, Main God, for your generosity.”
Ten worlds’ worth of memories had been returned to You Jiayi. There were no longer any obstacles between the two of them; they loved each other fearlessly and freely.
Yin Shen smiled faintly. “Consider it your wedding gift.”
“Aren’t you going to thank me?” Yan Hui leaned in.
Wen Nuan chuckled. “Th—anks.”
This thank you was spoken extremely stiffly; one couldn’t hear a single bit of gratitude in it.
“Really, thank you both,” You Jiayi said as she walked over. “Main God, Monarch2.”
Yan Hui looked at You Jiayi, raised the corner of her mouth, and waved her hand. “You’re welcome.”
“Look at how sincere she is, then look at yourself,” Yan Hui pursed her lips. “Tsk tsk…”
Wen Nuan rolled her eyes at her again and looked at Yin Shen. “Main God, want to eat a meal together?”
Yin Shen took Yan Hui’s hand and smiled. “Okay.”
“I’ll cook then,” You Jiayi volunteered.
Her cooking was the best way she knew to repay the Main God’s kindness.
“Good.” Yin Shen patted You Jiayi’s shoulder and nodded. “Sorry for the trouble.”
You Jiayi felt her body suddenly become lighter; the fatigue and discomfort from earlier vanished like smoke.
Wen Nuan glanced at You Jiayi and rubbed her waist, assuming she was still sore.
“Still hurts?”
You Jiayi shook her head, looking at Yin Shen’s retreating back. “The Main God helped me relieve it.”
“Good, let’s go. I’ll help you cook.”
“Mhm.”
Yan Hui and Yin Shen sat on the living room sofa waiting for the meal. Wen Nuan helped You Jiayi as her assistant, and they made six dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables, excellent in both color and taste.
“Taste it. My wife’s cooking is delicious,” Wen Nuan boasted proudly.
Yan Hui used her chopsticks to place a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Yin Shen’s bowl. Hearing this, she said, “Then I’ll have to taste it properly.”
Yin Shen took a bite. “It’s indeed not bad. Very delicious.”
“Thank you,” You Jiayi smiled shyly.
“Honestly, your cooking is really good.” Yan Hui was a foodie to begin with, and the six dishes You Jiayi made suited her tastes perfectly.
Wen Nuan said disdainfully, “Swallow your rice before you start praising.”
Yin Shen pulled out a tissue and wiped a soup stain from the corner of Yan Hui’s mouth. “Eat slowly.”
Yan Hui nodded repeatedly. “Mhm, mhm.”
With six dishes for four people, most of the food ended up in Wen Nuan and Yan Hui’s stomachs.
For the final piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, two pairs of chopsticks fought heatedly in the plate.
“Let go, I grabbed it first!” Yan Hui said viciously.
Wen Nuan was equally matched. “You let go, I grabbed it first.”
“My chopsticks clearly touched the rib a second earlier than yours.”
“Nonsense, this rib is obviously closer to me.”
“That’s you cheating, deliberately moving it toward your side.”
Wen Nuan gripped her chopsticks tight. “Did you not move it toward your side?”
“You let go!”
“You let go first!”
“Let go, this piece is mine!”
“Get lost, this piece is mine!”
Yin Shen and You Jiayi watched these two childish people, neither crying nor laughing, as they refused to yield over a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, arguing with twisted logic.
“I’ll make another plate, stop fighting,” You Jiayi tried to mediate.
“No!”
“No!”
The two spoke in unison.
Wen Nuan narrowed her eyes. “Today is my big wedding day. Isn’t it too shameless for you to snatch my rib?”
Yan Hui raised an eyebrow. “I, your father3, gave you ten lifetimes of memories as a wedding gift, and you can’t bear to part with a f*cking rib?”
Wen Nuan gritted her teeth. “This was made by my wife.”
Yan Hui huffed a laugh. “This was made by your wife for my wife.”
“Then on what basis do you get to eat it?” Wen Nuan retorted.
“Then on what basis do you get to eat it?” Yan Hui countered sarcastically.
“Fine then,” Wen Nuan loosened her chopsticks. “You eat the rib. Consider it my apology gift.”
Yan Hui looked at the rib she had secured, puzzled. “What apology gift?”
Wen Nuan’s gaze was sincere, her tone containing deep guilt and apology. “Back then, I used the traces you left behind to hurt the Main God. I never said sorry to you for that matter. You eat this rib; consider it my sincere apology.”
She lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly. It looked like she really knew she was wrong and was begging the other party to forgive her mistake.
Her attitude was sincere and earnest, making one’s heart soften uncontrollably.
“…” Yan Hui frowned. “Are you serious?”
The things Wen Nuan had done in the past indeed made her very unhappy; she had even had the heart to kill her. But so much time had passed now, she didn’t care about that matter anymore.
Hearing Wen Nuan bring it up voluntarily now, and even apologize to her, Yan Hui felt it was both novel and weird.
Her eyes darted around. She picked up the rib and put it in her mouth, pulling the corner of her mouth into a treacherous grin. “Little thing4, you really think pretending to be pitiful will make I, your father, fall for it? I’ve eaten the rib, you can’t have it anymore, hahaha…”
Wen Nuan lifted her head and laughed involuntarily. “You thought I was bluffing you?”
“Weren’t you?” Yan Hui wore an “I saw through you long ago” expression, pointing at Wen Nuan and smiling smugly. “Pretending to look all aggrieved to apologize to me, wanting to make my heart soft, then taking the opportunity to snatch the rib away. Do you think I, your father, am that easy to trick?”
“…” Wen Nuan sighed, her gaze disappointed and helpless. “You’re truly hopeless. Anyway, I’ve apologized; believe it or not.”
She stood up to clear the bowls.
Seeing Wen Nuan speak like this, Yan Hui muttered doubts in her heart.
Did this guy really change her ways and actually apologize to her for once?
Yin Shen turned her head to look at her and smiled. “She was serious. I could feel it.”
Yan Hui: “…..”
Damn it!
She used one rib to muddle through the apology; Wen Nuan, this villain!
Yan Hui rolled up her sleeves and ran into the kitchen. You Jiayi, who was washing dishes, was pushed out.
She listened with a face full of worry to the crackling and rattling sounds coming from the kitchen. “They….?”
“Don’t worry, Yan Hui knows her limits.”
You Jiayi looked into Yin Shen’s eyes. In that gaze surged the compassion and tenderness that God should have for mortals. Seeing such a look, however panicked she was inside, she felt at ease.
She grabbed a bottle of red wine and swirled two wine glasses. “Main God, want to have a drink?”
Yin Shen smiled. “It would be my pleasure.”
The two went to the beach to look at the seascape and drink red wine, completely ignoring the two people coming to blows in the kitchen.
Wen Nuan dodged a flying kitchen knife and exclaimed, “Your uncle! I’m a mortal now! If you hack me to death, you’ll have to bear criminal responsibility!”
“When the time comes, I’ll just close this mission world. Where will you go to make me bear criminal responsibility then?” The corners of Yan Hui’s mouth rose, her attitude extremely arrogant and unruly.
Wen Nuan blocked Yan Hui’s flying kick and took the opportunity to hook her hand, attempting to grab Yan Hui’s collar and throw her over.
However, Yan Hui dodged it, rolled with the momentum, got up again, and pounced on her.
Wen Nuan’s body flashed aside, wind generating under her feet. Her right leg swept out horizontally, but Yan Hui grabbed directly onto Wen Nuan’s calf and tripped her to the ground.
Pressing down on her arms, she said viciously, “Little thing, I taught you your fighting moves. Did you really think I, your father, would play the ‘teach the apprentice, starve the master5‘ game with you?”
Wen Nuan suddenly gave up resistance, hooking the corner of her mouth. “So what if you’re good at fighting? You’ve been topped.”
“…” As soon as this was mentioned, Yan Hui got even angrier. She pressed down hard. “Wasn’t that disaster caused by you, making I, your father, take the blame?!”
Wen Nuan groaned in pain from the pressure. “So what? It still doesn’t change the fact that you’ve been topped.”
“Only once, and that was because I, your father, allowed it.”
Wen Nuan looked triumphant. “You’ve been topped!”
Yan Hui was furious. “I, your father, know how to play better than you, and know more tricks and techniques than you. What qualification do you have to mock me?”
“You’ve been topped!”
Yan Hui gritted her teeth. “Believe it or not, I, your father, will kill you!?”
Wen Nuan went on a frenzy. “Even if I die, you’ve still been topped!”
Yan Hui: “….”
Fuck!
Today, either she or this dog cunt6 Wen Nuan had to die…
Suddenly, Yin Shen’s eyes flickered. She clinked glasses with You Jiayi and said, “Let’s stop drinking here for today. We have to leave first.”
You Jiayi froze for a moment. “So suddenly?”
They had only been drinking for a short while.
“Have to go.”
Any later and you’ll be a widow.
Yin Shen glanced at the kitchen, sighed lightly, and smiled dotingly. “This little violent temper.”
She snapped her fingers, and her figure instantly dissipated before You Jiayi’s eyes.
Wen Nuan lay on the floor. Seeing Yan Hui suddenly vanish, she clutched her stomach and laughed out loud. “Hahaha…”
From the horizon, a roar suddenly sounded: “Wen Nuan, you just wait for I, your father——”
You Jiayi walked into the kitchen, looking at the chaotic scene that resembled the aftermath of a war. She pulled up Wen Nuan, who was rolling on the floor laughing, and said helplessly, “Why are you laughing like this?”
Wen Nuan abruptly hugged You Jiayi. The fullness in her arms made her feel extremely calm and comfortable.
The corners of her mouth rose, her smile brilliant. “Because I feel like the happiest person in the world.”
Everything she had once dreamed of was now within easy reach.
She kissed towards You Jiayi, the smile on her lips unable to be stopped. “Jiayi, thank you.”
“Thank me for what?”
“There’s too much I want to thank.”
Wen Nuan looked at her affectionately. “Most of all, I want to give thanks that in these Three Thousand Worlds7, I was able to meet you, fall in love with you, and stay together with you.”
Hearing these words, ripples of spring water between the brows8 stirred within You Jiayi. She looked at her and smiled. “Me too.”
In this moment, the sunlight, the breeze, and you.
All are constant companions, all are long and lasting.
