Chapter 1963: Chapter 1962: Scheming
After experiencing so many years as if ’in a dream’, Xiaoqin truly understands how extravagant and precious Wang Ye’s kindness is to her.
Xia Qin is about to become his wife, but she will be as unattainable and distant as the cold moon in the sky.
If he could marry a woman like his sister-in-law, how wonderful that would be!
These thoughts unconsciously surfaced in Wang Ye’s mind.
When the complicated wedding dress was finally finished, Wang Ling let out a small sigh of relief, stood on her tiptoes, and reached out to tidy Wang Ye’s slightly messy hair on his forehead. Her gaze and expression unmistakably carried the delicacy and gentleness unique to young girls, making one feel both adorable and cherished.
Wang Ye suddenly stepped forward and gently kissed her forehead.
"Ah!"
Wang Ling screamed, jumping back like a startled rabbit, reaching out to touch her lips that were stinging helplessly.
Her beautiful eyes widened, and a blush rapidly spread from Snow White’s face down to her neck.
"You... kissed me again, you!"
"You’re reacting the same way as always."
Wang Ye’s face held a mix of innocence and sadness, clearly realizing he had done something wrong.
"When you were little, you used to enjoy kissing me. Now, every time I kiss you, you seem shocked."
"You know, that’s when you were little!" Wang Ling’s face grew redder as she spoke.
"We’re grown-ups now, we can’t keep kissing!"
"You’re about to have a wife, so from now on you can only kiss your wife!"
"Why is that?"
"Because I’m your little aunt!" Wang Ling stomped her foot angrily.
"What if I always want to kiss you?" Wang Ye said playfully, resting his chin on his hand. The pretty girl before him, only 15 years old, wielded no ’authority’ of a little aunt.
"I understand. Then marry me!"
Wang Ling smiled with a wrinkled nose.
"Hehe! You’re my little aunt, how could I marry you?"
Wang Ye lowered his voice, his eyes slightly wide.
"You know that, yet you still brazenly kiss me!? If you dare steal kisses again, I’ll tell your wife Xia Qin and let her deal with you! Hmph!"
Xiao Linger tilted her head, looking at him with an amused glint in her eyes.
At that moment, a voice came from outside.
"Young Master, are you ready? It’s time to go to the Xia Family to pick up your bride."
"Yes, I’ll be right out."
Wang Ye looked at his current attire, preparing to leave.
As he took two steps, Wang Ling held him by the hand and said seriously.
"I’m heading out."
"I’m going to pick up Princess Xia Qin again!! Before you go pick up Xia Qin again, please restate yesterday’s agreement word for word."
Yesterday’s agreement?
Wang Ye thought casually, feeling a bit helpless.
"Alright. After marrying Xia Qin, even though I’ll have a wife, I shouldn’t forget about my sister-in-law, and not shorten our time together, and continue to follow her instructions as before. You cannot fail to fulfill this word for word, right?"
"Hehe, that’s good."
Wang Ling showed a charming smile but still held Wang Ye’s hand tightly.
"However, I must add something I forgot yesterday."
"Although Xia Qin becomes your wife, in your heart, her status should not be higher than mine! You should know, your wife is mine! Now repeat it, say it!"
Wang Ye turned sideways to look into her beautiful eyes and said, "If you kiss me, I promise you, I promise."
"Then would you marry me?"
"Young Master, have you finished speaking?" The urging continued from outside the door.
"If we pass the designated ’auspicious time’, it’ll be unfortunate."
Wang Ye placed his hand on the door, but didn’t immediately push it open, and said softly.
"In this matter, I cannot promise my little aunt."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out with confidence.
Wang Ling stood there, a little puzzled at first, but then her mouth twitched slightly, following him out like a girl who just got the pastry she liked.
When Wang Ye walked out of the room, almost no one was left waiting for his extravagant wedding procession. They smiled kindly at him and said.
"Young Master, please get on the horse. Of course, on the day of the wedding, it should be joyful and not surprising, so there shouldn’t be a need for the elders."
"Thank you, Elder Hong," Wang Ye said with a faint smile and directly got on the horse. At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the left.
"It seems you arrived just on time. Is this the day Wang Ye is to pick up the bride? What a delightful event!"
Wang Ye raised his eyebrows and looked towards the voice, only to see two young men slowly approaching him. The elder one, in his early twenties, had a medium build and a refined, handsome appearance—his clear eyes and gentle smile felt like a spring breeze. Behind him followed a younger, slightly thinner youth, always staying one step behind the elder.
Looking at them, Wang Ye laughed. "You must be Elder Brother Long and Brother Wang Yan, right? Did you come here just to see me off?"
Wang Long is Wang Hai’s only son, the current leader of the Wang family, and among the younger generation of the Wang family, he is regarded as the most handsome, talented, eloquent, and wise young man at the age of twenty. He is Wang Hai’s pride, and should there be no unforeseen circumstances, he is expected to become the next leader of the Wang family. In front of the disabled Wang Ye, he always maintains a gentle demeanor, never showing any hint of derision, and often concerns himself with his Broken Mysterious Vein.
Wang Ye has long had a deep fondness for him, along with a sense of gratitude and admiration. Of course, up until now, Wang Ye has consistently been the same way.
The boy behind Wang Long also held a simple identity; he wasn’t just any disciple of the Wang family but the youngest grandson of Elder Wang Yan.
At 19, he had reached the ninth stage of the original Mysterious Realm and had always followed Wang Long around, respecting him. Despite being the grandson of an elder himself, he looked down on Wang Ye, often ignoring him or responding with a snort when spoken to.
As the grandson of an elder, Wang Ye not only had his own house but an independent small courtyard aside from grandpa Wang Li, his little aunt, and his only deceased friend; very few people visited.
At this time, Wang Long proactively led them to this place. Perhaps his only purpose was to send her to the wedding.
"Haha, absolutely." Wang Long continued walking as he spoke, a bright smile graced his face. "The person you’re marrying today is the number one treasure of Yun City Castle. It’s not only a major event for the Wang family but also a big event for the entire Yun City. I’m genuinely happy and envious that you can marry such a radiant gem, and quite frankly, a bit embarrassed, haha."
Wang Ye laughed along. Elder Brother Long was joking. Given Elder Brother Long’s talents, if he wanted to marry, the best women in all of Yun City should be at his disposal.
"Young Master, let’s go home," reminded him.
