Chapter 1165 Sharing the same bed
Shen Dong chimed in, "Wenxu is right. Whether our daughter is married or not, she is still a member of our family and our daughter. That will never change."
Liu Juan changed her tune: "Yes, yes, I misspoke just now. Don't tell Ningning this."
Shen Wenxu assured him, "We definitely won't be traitors, but you better not let anything slip."
Liu Juan patted Shen Wenxu on the back: "Don't talk nonsense."
Shen Dong asked, "Should we call Ningning and ask her?"
“Yes, I’ll call her right away.” Liu Juan immediately took out her phone and dialed Shen Xuening’s number.
Shen Xuening answered the phone: "Mom, did you see the marriage certificate?"
Liu Juan said with a smile, "That's right, congratulations. You'll be someone else's wife from now on. You and Zizhou need to be considerate and supportive of each other. Don't be like those people who break up at the drop of a hat."
Shen Xuening solemnly replied, "Mom, I know, I won't. We are mature people and won't do such childish things."
Liu Juan said with concern, "Mom knows you're sensible, so I won't say more here. Just get along well with Zizhou, and call home if anything happens."
Shen Xue Ning responded: "Okay."
Liu Juan thought for a moment and said, "Tell me in advance when you come back. It's such a big deal to get our marriage certificate, so I'm planning to have a meal with our relatives and friends to tell everyone."
Shen Xuening said, "Mom, how about this, we'll get married in September, and have a pre-wedding banquet before the wedding. We won't invite any guests now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Juan immediately replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The phone hangs up.
Grandma Shen said, "Ningning got her marriage certificate, everyone is happy. Why don't we have a meal together as a family? Let's eat out, it's on me."
Grandpa Shen looked incredulous: "Really?"
Grandma Shen looked at Grandpa Shen with displeasure: "What do you mean? Is it so strange that I'm treating everyone?"
Under pressure, Grandpa Shen retorted, "From the time I've known you until now, have you ever treated anyone to a meal?"
Grandma Shen opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but seemed unable to find the words. After a moment of silence, she said, "Hmph, I'll invite you a few more times in the future, okay?"
Grandpa Shen quickly waved his hand: "Don't be angry with me. It's fine whether you treat us or not, as long as you're happy."
Grandma Shen snorted, "I'm too lazy to talk to you." She beckoned to Shen Wenxu, "Wenxu, what do you want to eat? Grandma's treating tonight, you can eat whatever you want."
Shen Wenxu thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat hot pot. It's been so long since I've had hot pot. I want to eat hot pot."
Grandma Shen said generously, "Then let's go eat hot pot. You book a private room, and our whole family will come."
Shen Wenxu nodded emphatically: "Okay, I'll go right away and make sure I complete the mission."
Grandma Shen smiled and said, "Go ahead."

On the village road, Jiang Rui's mother walked towards her, smiling and asking, "Juanzi, you're back?"
Liu Juan replied with a smile, "I'm back. I've been back for over a day."
Jiang Rui's mother asked with concern, "Your daughter got engaged to her boyfriend, right? How's she doing in City A? She's being picked up and dropped off by plane, it's so glamorous. I wish I had a daughter like you."
Liu Juan nodded and said, "They got engaged. It was held at a hotel, and many guests came. Zizhou cherishes Xuening very much and did a great job. This morning, the two of them got their marriage certificate."
Jiang Rui's mother was somewhat surprised: "You got your marriage certificate?"
Liu Juan said, "Yes."
Jiang Rui's mother said, "Then they are a proper couple! Everyone says that long-distance relationships don't last, but Ningning and Zizhou are an exception."
Liu Juan said firmly, "Their relationship has always been very good, and marriage was an inevitable outcome."
Jiang Rui's mother laughed and said, "Yes, we are always touched that Zizhou comes all the way from City A to see Xue Ning."
"Haha." Liu Juan laughed heartily. "When they were dating, we were all worried that something might happen because of the distance, but Zizhou was determined, and they eventually got married."
Jiang Rui's mother praised him repeatedly: "Yes, your son-in-law is also very good. Not only is he handsome, but his family is also so rich. There is no other son-in-law as good as him, right?"
Liu Juan said, "Our Ningning is just as good."
Jiang Rui's mother immediately said, "I didn't say Ningning was bad. The two of them together are, how was it again? Right, they're evenly matched."
Liu Juan said with great certainty, "They are both very good."
Jiang Rui's mother asked, "Do you have any photos from their engagement? Could I see them?"
"Yes, I do." Liu Juan wanted to show off, so she took out her phone and showed the photos in her album to Jiang Rui's mother. "Look, I've taken so many photos, hundreds of them."
"Wow!" Jiang Rui's mother exclaimed, "You took such beautiful photos! Clothes really do make the man!"
Liu Juan was a little embarrassed: "It was Zizhou's mother who hired the makeup artist. She did makeup for everyone and arranged clothes for us. We really looked different after being dressed up."
Jiang Rui's mother pointed at Liu Juan and said, "She looks so different after putting on makeup, she's so beautiful."
Liu Juan laughed and said, "Doesn't it seem like two different people?"
“How could that be?” Jiang Rui’s mother waved her hand. “You look exactly the same in the photo as you do now, only much prettier and younger.”
Liu Juan asked, "Do you want to get your makeup done and have a photo taken too?"
Jiang Rui's mother shook her head repeatedly: "I don't need it. We're just country folk, so let's keep things simple."
“If you want to take pictures, I’ll have my niece help you,” Liu Juan encouraged. “Women should treat themselves well; you don’t know how beautiful you are until you put on makeup.”
Jiang Rui's mother looked at Liu Juan: "Is this how you were convinced?"
Liu Juan frankly admitted, "Haha, yes, who doesn't like to look beautiful?"
Jiang Rui's mother nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."
Liu Juan patted Jiang Rui's mother on the shoulder: "Whenever you want to take photos, just give them to me and I'll arrange it for you."
Jiang Rui's mother said, "You're different now; you speak with more confidence."
Liu Juan smiled and said, "No, it's still the same as before."
……
In City A, Shen Xuening's betrothal villa.
When Shen Xuening came home from get off work, she saw a lot of boxes piled up in the living room as soon as she opened the door. As she was changing her shoes, she said, "Why are there so many boxes?"
Qin Zizhou was cooking in the kitchen when he heard this and poked his head out: "I picked out some of the photos we took when we got engaged and made them into framed pictures. They're finished now and have been delivered to us."
Shen Xuening immediately said, "Then I'll open it and take a look."
"Go ahead and unpack it, the food won't be ready for another ten minutes or so." Qin Zizhou went back to cooking. After a while, he asked, "When are we going to take our wedding photos?"
As Shen Xuening unpacked the boxes, she said, "You set the time; these are all up to you."
Qin Zizhou thought for a moment and asked, "When are you going back?"
Shen Xuening replied, "Four more days."
Qin Zizhou thought for a moment, realizing that four days was too rushed: "Are you coming to City A for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Shen Xuening answered without hesitation: "Yes, definitely. We're married now, so I definitely want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you."
Qin Zizhou said, "Then let's take wedding photos during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Shen Xuening nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
As she spoke, she opened the first box, which contained five photo frames. The frames were packed very well, and she carefully took them out and placed them on the table.
This box of photos is all taken by her and Qin Zizhou alone. They took a lot of photos, but judging from the photos, it seems that she had a frame made for each of her outfits.
Qin Zizhou's voice came through: "Is it good-looking?"
Shen Xuening lined up the photo frames on the table and examined them closely: "They're quite beautiful."
Qin Zizhou walked over: "Hmm, indeed, a beautiful woman and a handsome man, they are a match made in heaven."
Shen Xuening couldn't help but laugh: "Narcissistic or not?"
Qin Zizhou radiated a glow, a quality cultivated from his upbringing, like a piece of jewelry, naturally dazzling: "This is confidence, after all, I've been handsome since I was a child."
Shen Xuening nodded: "Yes, yes, our Zizhou has been exceptionally outstanding since he was a child."
Qin Zizhou said, "When I was a child, other people would flaunt their jewelry, their companies, and their status, but my mother only needed to bring me along, and without saying a word, they would all be defeated."
Shen Xuening looked at Qin Zizhou with amusement: "Indeed, you have something to brag about."
Qin Zizhou seized the opportunity and said, "Xue Ning, let's have a son too, and you can take him out to show off."
Shen Xuening smiled meaningfully: "You want a son?"
Qin Zizhou quickly explained, "I'm fine with either, I like them all, but I'd prefer a daughter. My parents also want a granddaughter, but that depends on fate, we won't force it."
Shen Xuening chuckled: "Is that what you really think too?"
Qin Zizhou assured him, "I am true to my word."
Shen Xuening raised her fist and threatened, "You better be like that, or I won't let you off the hook."
"I'm going to the kitchen, or it'll burn." Qin Zizhou turned and went to the kitchen. He really meant it; having a boy or a girl was the same, but he wanted a daughter, one who looked like Xue Ning—she would be so adorable.
Shen Xuening continued unpacking the boxes. In the end, she disassembled all the boxes, took out the photo frames, and placed them in various locations around the house.
Qin Zizhou finished preparing dinner and served it to the table one by one: "Xue Ning, come and try the dishes I made."
Shen Xuening was very supportive: "I never expected that Young Master Qin would actually cook."
Qin Zizhou said confidently, "Young Master Qin can do everything, but since you're not around often, I haven't had a chance to show it off."
Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Then how about I try Young Master Qin's cooking?"
Qin Zizhou gestured for him to proceed: "I certainly won't let you down."
Shen Xuening raised an eyebrow, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of garlic-flavored pork ribs: "Is this my family's pork? My family's garlic? My family's fermented bean paste? My family's soy sauce?"
"Hmm." Qin Zizhou nodded. "The seasonings from other manufacturers don't taste as good as yours. Now, I and everyone around me use your seasonings."
Shen Xuening chuckled: "That's too kind of you."
Qin Zizhou said, "It's not about giving face, it's just that everyone wants to choose the best. Since yours is good, we'll naturally choose yours."
Shen Xuening nodded: "That's true."
Qin Zizhou picked up a piece of boiled fish for Shen Xuening: "This is also delicious, you should try it."
Shen Xuening took a bite and said, "It's delicious. I didn't expect Young Master Qin to be such a good cook. It's even better than what I make."
Qin Zizhou said, "I'll cook for you whenever I have time."
Shen Xuening said happily, "Then shouldn't I return the favor and make it for you to try when I have time?"
Qin Zizhou didn't care whether Shen Xuening cooked for him or not, as long as she stayed by his side: "That depends on Miss Shen's mood, I'm fine with anything."
Shen Xuening thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll cook you a meal the day before I go back. I haven't cooked for you yet, so try my cooking."
Qin Zizhou said expectantly, "Then I'll wait and see."
Shen Xuening raised an eyebrow: "Wait."
Qin Zizhou prepared three dishes and a soup, which was more than enough for the two of them. After dinner, the two of them cleared away the dishes and then went to their respective studies to handle company matters. They didn't come out of the study until nine o'clock.
The two got their marriage certificate during the day and became husband and wife. Tonight they could finally sleep in the same room, and Qin Zizhou was extremely looking forward to it.
The master bedroom was decorated by Qin's mother. It wasn't decorated in bright red, but it was exceptionally warm and beautiful.
Qin Zizhou took Shen Xuening's hand and walked into the room together: "Xuening, you have no idea how long I have been looking forward to this day."
Shen Xuening knew what the man was thinking. Qin Zizhou had endured so much for her, which was quite rare: "It's been three years."
Qin Zizhou was stunned: "I..."
Shen Xuening tapped Qin Zizhou's chest with her finger: "Did I hit the nail on the head?"
Qin Zizhou grabbed Shen Xuening's hand and lifted her up in his arms: "That's not important. What's important is that we can sleep together tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door slammed shut.
……
There was still noise in the room past 1 a.m., and then the two of them overslept the next morning.
Qin Zizhou pulled Shen Xuening into his arms with his beautifully muscular arms and kissed her forehead: "Xuening, you finally belong to me completely."
Shen Xuening moved her aching body and said, "You're so hungry, like a wolf."
Qin Zizhou replied matter-of-factly, "There's nothing I can do. I've been thinking about it for too long, and besides, this is my first time touching a woman. It's normal to get addicted."
Shen Xuening opened her eyes: "First time?"
"Of course! What do you mean by that?" Qin Zizhou couldn't help but raise his voice, unable to tolerate Shen Xuening's suspicion.
"Keep your voice down, it's not like I don't believe you." Shen Xuening quickly covered Qin Zizhou's mouth, her ears burning slightly.
“I don’t even look at other women, how could I possibly touch them?” Qin Zizhou said seriously. “I’ve always wanted to give myself to you, and that thought has never changed.”
"That's really rare," Shen Xuening commented.
"I only want you." Qin Zizhou said solemnly.
"So now that you have me, how does it feel?" Shen Xuening asked with a smile.
"It feels like I've gained the whole world. It's more fulfilling, happier, and more satisfying than closing a deal worth 100 million," Qin Zizhou replied earnestly.
Shen Xuening suddenly blurted out, "You'll be washing the sheets later."
Qin Zizhou readily agreed, "I'll wash it, then I'll wash it."
