Chapter 114: Sweetness for Two
“Aren’t we going home?” After the candlelit dinner, Ye Zhile thought they would go home, but he realized they weren’t heading in the direction of the Shouling-fu.
Ji Shuohan looked at his bewildered face and pulled him into his lap to sit, kissing his cheek lovingly. “Today is an important day. Of course, it’s our time alone.”
“Then where are we going?” Ye Zhile asked happily. Ji Shuohan didn’t answer. “Guess?”
Ye Zhile narrowed his eyes. “Where could we go?”
After dinner, most places to play should be closed. Ye Zhile couldn’t guess. Seeing the successful smile in Ji Shuohan’s eyes, he quietly leaned into his ear.
Ye Zhile’s face heated up. When they reached the destination, he looked at the five-star hotel with countless floors and hesitated to get out of the car. Ji Shuohan was caught between laughter and tears. Ye Zhile was already small-statured; with him acting like this, it made Ji Shuohan look like he was kidnapping him.
Ji Shuohan pulled him into his arms for a kiss. “Scared?”
“What would I be scared of?” Ye Zhile glared at him, pushed him away, and got out of the car. Ji Shuohan grabbed him. “Go through the back door, otherwise it’ll be a huge news story tomorrow.”
[Headline: Why did the Leader and Madam appear at a hotel late at night?]
Ye Zhile felt ashamed just thinking about it. He simply hid in Ji Shuohan’s embrace. If there were cameras, let Ji Shuohan face the storm alone!
Ji Shuohan cooperated with Ye Zhile and hid him in his arms. They were clearly a legitimate couple, yet they were acting like they were having an affair.
Ji Shuohan had someone book the best couple’s suite. Ye Zhile had never stayed in one. Looking at the black and white decor, it seemed okay, but when he saw the bed was a water bed and the bathroom was completely transparent, his brain stalled.
Ji Shuohan hugged him from behind. A light laugh sounded in his ear. Ye Zhile snapped out of it and heard him say, “Go shower first.”
“I think I can wait a bit to shower,” Ye Zhile said woodenly. However, Ji Shuohan didn’t give him a chance to adapt and carried him horizontally into the bathroom. “Soaking is the same.”
The bathroom wasn’t as large as the one at the Shouling-fu, but the bathtub was large enough to accommodate two people with room to spare. Although there was plenty of space, Ji Shuohan insisted on hugging him. With their skin touching, Ye Zhile was incredibly shy. Especially feeling a certain someone’s reaction, he became even more uneasy, shrinking into Ji Shuohan’s embrace.
Ji Shuohan pressed against his cheek. “You’re so shy? Our Baby is almost two years old.”
Ye Zhile gave a light hmph but didn’t answer. After adapting for a while, he felt much better and turned to lie on Ji Shuohan’s chest. He looked at the ring on his hand; after being submerged in water, it complemented his fair skin even more.
“Do you like it?” When Ji Shuohan chose it, he didn’t pick a very large diamond, fearing it would be too flamboyant. The one he chose now wasn’t huge, but it suited Ye Zhile’s slender hand perfectly.
Ye Zhile nodded and looked up at him. “I like it.”
Ji Shuohan leaned down and kissed his lips…
Before long, the water in the bathtub rippled and overflowed. That little boat was tossed up and down…
Ye Zhile raised his hand weakly. Ji Shuohan kissed his fingertips. “Baby…”
Ye Zhile had an account on Star Net, but no one knew about it. He had created it back when he was shipping his own CP. Now, he posted his first blog post on that account.
[#Little_Zhile: Like it~ (Image)]
It was a photo of Ye Zhile’s hand wearing the proposal ring held together with Ji Shuohan’s hand. Ji Shuohan’s ring was the plain band from before.
Ye Zhile knew people would recognize him because his name was very obvious. But he hadn’t expected his first post to be so popular, going straight to the top of the trending list.
[#Leader Proposes]
[#Anonymous Netizen: Fellow star-friends, is this Ye Zhile’s account? Is this the Leader’s Spouse? @Little_Zhile]
[It’s him!! Crap! I can actually wait to see the Leader’s Spouse show off their love!! Aaaah!]
[Aaaah! This hand! I’m dying from the shipping! One large and one small; one is fair and tender, and the other has veins popping. This is too sexy!! It must feel so good during doi!]
[Aaaah! I think so too!!]
[The Leader proposed!? This diamond ring suits this hand so well!]
[He definitely proposed! Madam is wearing the proposal diamond ring! The Leader is still wearing the one from the amusement park!!]
[Wuu wuu! I’m dying from the shipping! This diamond ring is so beautiful! It matches so well!]
[Can Ye Zhile post more! People who’ve seen him say he’s very cute and gentle in person!! Aaaah!]
[True! I saw them at the amusement park! He even grabbed the baby’s hand to wave to us!! The baby is super cute! The Leader is super handsome! They match so well! So happy!]
[Aaaah! I’m so jealous of people who’ve seen them! I feel like if he posts, it’ll be very healing!]
[Wuu wuu! My CP is so happy! I can live again!]
[My happiness is back! Shipping them to death!]
Ye Zhile hadn’t expected his first post to be such a hit. Seeing his private messages at 999+, he quickly logged out.
Ji Shuohan dried his hair. Behind the hotel was the ocean, and being on a high floor, the view was wide. Ye Zhile sat on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window with his phone. Ji Shuohan sat over with a glass of red wine, and the two leaned against each other to enjoy the scenery.
“Is it good?” Ye Zhile stared at the red wine in Ji Shuohan’s hand. Seeing Ji Shuohan drink, he was a bit curious, like a cat staring at dried fish. Ji Shuohan handed it over. “Try it?”
Ye Zhile took a small sip from Ji Shuohan’s hand. When it first entered his mouth, it was sweet and fruity, but when he swallowed, it burned his throat. Ye Zhile’s small face crumpled; he stuck out his tongue. “It’s better than white liquor.”
“You’ve even had white liquor?” Ji Shuohan was shocked. Ye Zhile gave an embarrassed smile. “That was my father’s collection. When I was little, my second brother wanted a drink and gave me a taste. It burned more than red wine, and one sip went straight to my head.”
The corner of Ji Shuohan’s mouth twitched. He handed him the orange juice from the side table. “You’d better stick to your juice.”
Ye Zhile gave an unconcerned tch and obediently took small sips.
There were yachts and small boats on the sea. Ye Zhile leaned on Ji Shuohan’s shoulder. Ji Shuohan grabbed his hand, and the two unknowingly began to kiss again. The atmosphere was ambiguous and lingering. Ji Shuohan said, “Zhile, let’s discuss the wedding date tomorrow, okay?”
Ye Zhile opened his eyes, which were filled with mist. Ji Shuohan added, “If you think it’s too fast, we can take it slow. Propose, register the marriage, then hold the wedding.”
Ye Zhile grinned, his eyes curving. “Sure. I’ll listen to whatever Daren says.”
“Is that so?” Ji Shuohan brushed aside the stray hairs on his forehead and kissed his lips. “So well-behaved?”
Ye Zhile gave a light hmph. “When I wasn’t well-behaved, you said I was opposing you.”
“I just said that. When have I ever been mean to you when you weren’t well-behaved?” Ji Shuohan said softly. “I’m almost treating you like a little ancestor.”
“Haha…” Ye Zhile was in a good mood and leaned into his embrace.
Translator’s Note: “Doi” (the act of making love) is internet slang used by Chinese netizens to avoid censorship. And the “water bed” (shui-chuang)… the Supreme Leader is really going all out for this Valentine’s Day! “Little ancestor” (Xiao-zu-zong) is a term of endearment for someone you spoil and pamper to no end. We’re finally getting the happy ending everyone wanted! Next up: the wedding!
