"Ye Xuan, are we... really going to get married?" Lin Tong's thoughts returned to reality as she gazed at Ye Xuan and asked.

"Wife, don't you want to marry me?"

"Of course not, I mean, do you really want to marry me?"

"Of course, you're the woman I love most. If I don't marry you, who would I marry?"

Ye Xuan chuckled lightly and said naturally, "Didn't we agree to this? First get the certificate, then get married! Unless you want to back out? Once you're on my ship, sorry, no refunds!"

"But...I'm, I'm still a little worried..." Lin Tong's face turned red, her words stopped.

Seeing her expression, Ye Xuan could roughly guess.

However, he didn't call it out, instead he joked, "What are you worried about? Worried that being with me will make you too happy?"

"Stop being slick!"

Lin Tong rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, annoyed, and said, "If I could be happy, I wouldn't be worried! The problem is you're a flirtatious playboy who can't walk past a beautiful woman. What if you get tired of me and run off with some vixen? Who am I supposed to cry to!"

"Wife, the things you're worried about don't exist at all! How could I not want you and leave with someone else?"

Ye Xuan steadied Lin Tong's delicate body, looked at her seriously, and said, "A beautiful, generous, gentle, virtuous, and tolerant wife like you—if I don't want you, I'd be worse than a fool!"

"Hmph, you men say nice things, using sweet words to coax us girls! When you like us, you hold us dear, and when you don't, you throw us away carelessly. None of it is trustworthy!" Lin Tong huffed coldly.

"Hehe, wife, no matter what you say, you'll soon marry me and become the heroine of this wedding, that's an unchangeable fact!"

Ye Xuan shrugged and said slowly, "Since you can't avoid this fate, just accept it peacefully, stop overthinking. Wait for the wedding day, and be my bride!"

"Are you so confident that I won't marry anyone but you? Do you believe I'll break off the engagement now and go with you to the civil office to handle it?" Lin Tong threatened.

"Still thinking about breaking off the engagement?"

Ye Xuan wagged his finger, grinning playfully, "NONONO, you don't have that right! When you got on my pirate ship back then, you set foot on a one-way journey, only moving forward, no turning back! And can't get off halfway, just obediently accept fate's arrangement."

"What if I insist on getting off?" Lin Tong countered.

"It's okay, I'll have a hundred ways to make you willingly stay on this pirate ship, in the end, you still can't escape the palm of my hand!"

Ye Xuan declared confidently, as if he had her completely figured out.

"You... you're so domineering!"

Lin Tong pouted angrily, glaring at Ye Xuan.

"That's right! When it comes to my own woman, I have to be this domineering."

Ye Xuan nodded, decisively saying, "Remember, in this world, you are mine alone, and if I don't allow you to do something, you can't do it! Woman, did you hear?"

"You scoundrel! Meeting someone as domineering as you, my luck must be rotten for eight lifetimes!"

Lin Tong sighed quietly, as if venting, she pinched Ye Xuan hard in protest with a coquettish voice.

Although still a bit disturbed inside, by this point, none of it was important. Since this man was the one she chose for life, what else was there to choose? The only way was to ride this boat with the current, no matter where the destination was not the key, the key was to enjoy the scenery along the way!

As for when this boat would break down, and how far it could take her, it was all up to fate...

The next morning at ten o'clock.

Outside a large shopping mall.

Because they needed to set up a new home, a lot of daily necessities were missing from the villa, Ye Xuan and Lin Tong decided to come to the mall early in the morning to shop. After more than two hours of shopping, they had basically replenished the necessary daily supplies!

After settling the bill in the mall, they were ready to head back home.

After leaving the mall, Lin Tong suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking at the large bags in her hand, her expression turned a bit dazed.

Even now, she found it hard to believe that she and Ye Xuan had moved in together so quickly!

Since they got their certificate six months ago, she had gotten used to Ye Xuan's presence. Now, not only were they living together, but they were also about to have a wedding and formally marry this man beside her. It all seemed unbelievable, like a dream.

"Wife, what are you daydreaming about? The things are bought, let's hurry back!"

Putting the things in his hand into the trunk, Ye Xuan walked over, wrapped an arm around Lin Tong's waist, and spoke gently.

"I was thinking, how did I end up getting the certificate with a troublemaker like you? Enduring your torment for half a year apparently wasn't enough, now it's for a lifetime! With someone like you, who gives such an annoying, rotten vibe, yet I couldn't help but fall for you, am I blind?"

Lin Tong sighed lightly, her expression slightly complicated.

"Correct, you are blind!"

Ye Xuan nodded seriously, "Wife, you've been with me for so long and still haven't seen my charm? If it were other women, they'd have been crying to marry me and have my kids from the day they met me."

"Bah! You're just shameless!"

Lin Tong spat lightly, casting a contemptuous glance at Ye Xuan.

"By the way, wife, have you ever thought? If we hadn't got the certificate back then, maybe the outcome would be completely different now." Ye Xuan suddenly said.

"Maybe!"

Lin Tong nodded, if she hadn't gotten the certificate with Ye Xuan back then, perhaps they wouldn't even be together now!

In retrospect, she felt grateful for the decision she made.

Although he was such a nuisance, without him, Lin Tong couldn't imagine how her life's trajectory would have unfolded?

"Hehe! To celebrate us getting our certificate back then, and now the upcoming wedding, shouldn't you change the way you address me?" Ye Xuan said with a grinning face.

"What should I call you? Ye Xuan idiot, or shameless?"

Lin Tong feigned ignorance, but the corners of her eyes hinted at a smile.

"Don't you know what to call me? Let me make it clear, from now on, you have to call me husband! 'Husband' as in 'hus' of husband, and 'band' of husband! Little darling, did you understand?" Ye Xuan reminded with a cheeky smile.

"Come on, my dear wife, quickly call me husband?"

"I won't!"

Lin Tong shook her head proudly.

"Quickly call it, this is an order from your husband! Do you dare not listen?" Ye Xuan urged immediately.

"Hmph! I won't call, I won't call, so there!"

Lin Tong crowed triumphantly, still proud.

"You little brat, your courage's getting bigger now? How dare you defy your husband's command? Will you call or not? If not, I'll harass you right here... wait! You are my wife, how can that be called harassment? It should be called showing affection!"

Ye Xuan chuckled, giving a threatening reminder, "Dear wife, I'll give you one last chance, quickly call me husband! Otherwise, I'll show affection right here on the street! Ha ha ha ha!"
