The newlywed couple entered the limo to head to the reception banquet hosted by the Yun family. It wasn't a long trip, but it gave Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei the privacy they needed after laying their hearts bare in front of their loved ones and promised each other their forever.

Before leaving, Su Xiaofei had changed into her reception dress, her eyes catching her wedding ring in the process. Lu Qingfeng has specifically customized this ring just for her. Unlike the diamond ring she wore in her previous life, her ring was now adorned with the highest quality of the purple amethyst one could find.

Obviously, it was cheaper compared to a diamond, but Su Xiaofei was satisfied with Lu Qingfeng's selection. Not only did she love the purple color, but the purple amethyst signified spiritual healing, calmness, and wisdom, something that she didn't possess in her previous life. It was also associated with serenity, understanding, trust and grace, so she was really grateful that Lu Qingfeng had paid attention to her wedding ring.

So what if her ring wasn't as valuable as a diamond? She would rather wear this amethyst ring as a reminder of how deeply she was loved by her husband.

In her previous life, he was known as a tyrant that would look down on the entire world, but would look up to her. It made her happy, knowing that she didn't need to compete with another woman to gain his heart, for Lu Qingfeng had already given it to her even before she asked for it.

Su Xiaofei adjusted her long skirt and felt Lu Qingfeng's arm wounding around her waist, kissing the top of her head.

"You are so beautiful today." He murmured.

When he saw the necklace as well as the pair of earrings he had given her on her fifteenth? birthday, he couldn't help but smile. Lu Qingfeng had never thought that she had kept them with her all this time, as he'd never seen her wear them. His lips then traveled to her slender neck, kissing a sensitive spot he'd found there before.

Su Xiaofei's breath hitched as she felt him suck on her nape. She slightly panicked, knowing that he might leave a mark on her neck, and she wouldn't have a face to see their families if he did.

"Lu Qingfeng, you know I love you, but don't you dare to leave a mark for everyone to see." She half moaned as his hands traveled up her arm, making her shiver under his touch.

"We're already married." Lu Qingfeng murmured against her soft skin. "I don't think they would mind."

She lightly pinched his arm in reprimand and tried to pull away from him before sighing.

"What am I supposed to do with you?" She feigned annoyance, seeing the half grin on his face.

"I can think of several things, Xiaofei." He said with a teasing smile.

Su Xiaofei's cheeks heated up.

"Not in the back of the car!" She exclaimed, which only widened the amused smile on her husband's face.

Lu Qingfeng chuckled and released her, but not without kissing her cheek first.

"Whatever are you thinking of, Mrs. Lu?" He laughed. "Impatient for tonight's event, are we?"

That instantly earned him a smack on his shoulder from his lovely wife. He grinned and leaned forward to kiss her again. He couldn't be happier knowing that Su Xiaofei was finally his wife.

The reception was also a private one. There weren't any special guests as the wedding was strictly for the family and the closest friends of the couple. When the newlyweds arrived, Xi Qian raised a slender brow when she saw that Su Xiaofei's hair was now down. It didn't take long for her to figure out what could have happened. She chuckled and joined Shen Jiao and Xiao Rufeng at the table.

"Seems like they couldn't wait for their wedding night." She told Shen Jiao, who laughed at her words while Xiao Rufeng blushed beside her.

Xiao Rufeng was the only one amongst Su Xiaofei's talents that was invited to the wedding. At first, she was confused as to why Su Xiaofei gave her a card with a date and time printed on it, telling her to dress simply in white and come to the place on time. She had never thought that she would be able to witness her manager marrying her childhood friend today.

She felt like it hadn't been too long since she first saw Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng together. At that time, she thought that the two looked good together. It had been like the two were born to complement each other. fre(e)webnov(l).com

"Can't blame them, especially Lu Qingfeng. Hasn't he waited years for Feifei?" Shen Jiao replied,before taking a sip from her wine glass.

"En." Xi Qian affirmed. "I used to dislike him before. When we were younger, Lu Qingfeng hated it whenever I took Feifei's attention from him."

"What about now?" The older woman tilted her head to look at Xi Qian curiously.

"Not anymore. I think it's good that he has already accepted that he couldn't dominate and have Feifei all to himself. He learned how to compromise." Xi Qian shrugged.

Thinking about it, five years ago, her best friend wasn't the only one who had a drastic change in her personality, Lu Qingfeng did too.

"Then that's good to hear." Shen Jiao hummed. "A lot of compromises are needed to make one's marriage work."

Xi Qian stared at her friend and fell silent. She and Su Xiaofei were both aware of why Shen Jiao left the corporate world and ran her father's cafe. The reason they were able to befriend Shen Jiao was because of her young daughter, Shen Xilin who was only three years old at that time.

As if sensing her uneasiness, Shen Jiao chuckled, knowing what made Xi Qian uncomfortable.

"Don't look at me like that, Qian.. You and I know that I wasn't the problem."
