Till Death Do Us Part

Putting aside the card drawing matter, Shen Yi looked at the final item.

[Would you like to unlock the S-tier exclusive achievement reward?]

"Yes."

[You've unlocked Fu Nanzhi's exclusive romance achievement: Growing Old Together.]

[Would you like to proceed with scene tracing?]

Though confused, Shen Yi could only continue clicking.

"Yes."

[You fell in love.]

[Fu Nanzhi's nature was reserved and gentle, but her emotions were like surging waves.]

[Once she committed to you, she spared no effort in declaring her feelings to her entire world.]

[Even though her world was small.]

[Colleagues in the company were first surprised, wondering how the aloof gardenia flower had been picked so quickly.]

[While everyone was puzzled, upon learning it was you, they understood - who else could it have been but you?]

[Although colleagues were supportive at heart, office romance was forbidden in the company, and you both soon received warnings from the department.]

[When Fu Nanzhi learned of this, she winked playfully and told you she would activate her superpower.]

[You thought Fu Nanzhi just had another crazy idea and didn't pay much attention.]

[Soon after, the superpower manifested.]

[The most powerful law firm in the city and province - Jinheng - extended you an olive branch.]

[Although starting as an assistant, this was a ladder to heaven that countless people could only dream of.]

[When you nervously went to report for duty, you opened the office door to find Fu Nanzhi pretending to sit formally in the main seat.]

[Seeing your dumbfounded expression, Fu Nanzhi couldn't maintain her composure anymore. She broke into a bright girlish smile, her soft, supple form leaping into your arms like a child seeking praise.]

[It turned out Fu Nanzhi had also resigned from her advisory position, transferring back from Tiancheng Group to be with you.]

[The reason it's called a superpower is because of its irresistible nature.]

[Jinheng's founder was Fu Yuanyu, and Fu Nanzhi's original job was being Fu Yuanyu's assistant, while you became Fu Nanzhi's assistant.]

[When you asked Fu Nanzhi what your job was, she replied: Your job is to love me and make me happy.]

[When you asked how long you'd have to work, she answered: For a lifetime.]

[This was completely beyond your control - you were utterly defeated by this superpower.]

[And so, you immersed yourself in this paradise of tenderness.]

[Fu Nanzhi's world was small, but holding you made her as happy as if she held the whole world.]

[Over time, you melted in her doting love, even developing stomach problems.]

[Once you wanted to be a real man who could hold up the sky, but now with an easy life laid before you, who could escape the law of immediate satisfaction? All you could say was how wonderful it was.]

[Fu's Father and Fu's Mother were very supportive of your relationship.]

[Fu Nanzhi's previous self-punishing discipline had alarmed Fu's Father and pained Fu's Mother. Their earlier decision to let her work at Tiancheng Group was carefully considered, hoping to untie the knots in her heart.]

[Now seeing you two so deeply in love, those knots weren't just untied - they were replaced with new bonds.]

[No matter what, seeing Fu Nanzhi transformed into someone full of girlish charm was something neither you nor her parents had seen in over a decade. The elderly couple, loving their daughter deeply, could only feel satisfaction.]

[You got engaged.]

[Fu Nanzhi didn't want a bride price from you and offered a simple dowry.]

[She told you she couldn't bring much - just a villa, two cars, and a little cash after marriage, as her parents wanted you two to work hard on your own.]

At this point, Shen Yi's mouth twitched. Where could one find such a wonderful woman as Fu Nanzhi?

For the first time, Shen Yi felt jealous of himself, wishing he could jump into the simulation and take his place, lamenting that it was all virtual.

[The wedding was quickly scheduled.]

[After both sets of parents met, you held a grand wedding.]

[At the wedding, you exchanged rings and made vows.]

[At the banquet, you performed the traditional wine ceremony, gazing at each other.]

[Fu Nanzhi embraced you, choking back happy tears.]

[Classmates and colleagues offered their blessings, enviously watching you perfect couple.]

[During the feast, Old Dai got drunk, hugging you and patting your shoulder, praising your good fortune in marriage.]

[Su Xun, drunk, grabbed you and complained bitterly, feeling both envious and jealous, saying you had betrayed your pact to stay single and secretly found an easy life.]

[You laughed and consoled him, drinking heavily with your close friends until you were completely drunk.]

Shen Yi's vision blurred as he was drawn into the scene through the text.

The gauze curtains hung low, creating a dreamy atmosphere. The bed was surrounded by brocade, and the ceiling was covered with embroidered felt, making it both warm and cozy.

Under the red brocade quilt, the newlyweds slept soundly.

Shen Yi woke from his dream, holding his head and taking a deep breath, his mind foggy from the hangover.

Turning his head, he saw Fu Nanzhi sleeping peacefully, her straight nose and long eyelashes giving her the appearance of a heavenly beauty.

Under the brocade quilt, her alluring figure was faintly visible, inspiring imagination, her delicate skin trembling slightly.

After last night's exertions, Fu Nanzhi hadn't yet awakened.

Shen Yi smiled, feeling blessed to have married her.

He bent down to kiss her forehead, planning to get up and make breakfast for Fu Nanzhi.

Just as he turned, a fair arm reached for his shoulder.

"Honey~"

Fu Nanzhi called out to Shen Yi without opening her eyes, still half-asleep.

With a gentle pull of her arm, Shen Yi rolled back beside her and asked:

"What is it, Nanzhi?"

Fu Nanzhi's eyes curved in a smile as she wrapped her arms around Shen Yi's neck, softly coaxing:

"Don't go, honey. I want more..."

Shen Yi shook his head helplessly. Fu Nanzhi loved studying, and they had already had a late-night lesson, but he hadn't expected her to want morning lessons too.

Since the pool incident, Fu Nanzhi had gradually shed her shyness. The two had become inseparable, and now she demanded more, addicted to bedroom pleasures.

"It's our first day as newlyweds, and you want to stay in bed? Besides, skipping breakfast isn't good for your health. Be good, sleep a bit more while I make you breakfast."

Fu Nanzhi's eyes sparkled as she pouted, "Our parents aren't living with us - why are you getting up so early? Are you heading to court?"

Then, holding tight to Shen Yi's neck to keep him from leaving, she couldn't help but laugh and say:

"Forget breakfast, come eat me instead!"

She leaned in to kiss him.

Shen Yi tilted his head back, pretending to be disgusted:

"Ugh, you haven't brushed your teeth yet, no kissing."

"Oh really? You dare complain about me? Your job is to love me and make me happy, understand? Now get to work."

Fu Nanzhi freed a hand to tickle Shen Yi, making silly faces.

Shen Yi couldn't stop laughing as he was tickled, immediately counterattacking:

"Fine then, today your husband shall play hooky like an emperor!"

Fu Nanzhi laughed heartily, her voice gradually growing softer until it became inaudible. In the warm bed with its red curtains, they rolled about, enjoying their blissful time together.
