THE GAME

After Revenge.

Months Later...

Yunmeng.

Nothing prepared Wen Qing for the treat his cousin threw her way months ago. Her heart nearly blew up when Wei Ying explained things to her in detail, that Yanli had agreed to marry her. 

Now, on this day she would claim the gift that would win her on Wen Xu's side for a few more years. Jiang Yanli will no longer be alone and far away after tonight. 

The Jin Sect did not show up for the wedding, but who cares? All that mattered was that Yanli was happy and so was she. Wen Xu and Lan Xichen shouldered the ceremony, Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying had little to do but plan where the couple would stay for their nuptials.

Wen Qing had never stayed in Yunmeng and Yanli always talked about showing her around so they believed it was the perfect chance. It would have been chaos if Wen Chao was allowed into Yunmengjiang, so once again he was kept out of family affairs.

The ceremony was filled with love and tears, wrapped in a ray of confidence and well wishes.

Alone in their quarters, away from the noise and the crowd, the couple kept some distance. Shying away from each other. Wen Qing was more nervous; dressed like a man in the heaviest robes she would ever wear. Her eyes were darkened to give her a fierce look but her glances were soft toward Yanli. 

Jiang Yanli was the typical breathtaking bride who already imagines their future before it starts. When she suddenly giggles, Wen Qing looks at her with a questioning gaze. 

"I didnt think you would dress as a man to our wedding."

"...Do you not like it?", Wen Qing was lucky to have some blush on her face.

"Hahaha, you look more handsome than I imagined.", Yanli covers her mouth to muffle her laugh when they got too loud. Judging by their personality one will not visualize the alpha as the shy one in such situations. Wen Qing inclined her head at her, not knowing how to take it. Soon there was silence and they went back to staring at the ceiling and the floor. 

"...So, it's our wedding night, are you going to make the first move?"

"...", Wen Qing's face flushed bright red. She cringed her robes with her eyes low. "A'Li!", the alpha was taken by surprise when her partner closed the gap between them and pinned her on the bed. 

"A'Li, wait...", Wen Qing did not speculate that Yanli's fragile frame could be so brazen when she was kissed in a rather odd yet intense way. Was this bride that excited about their nuptials? Wen Qing felt Yanli's breasts heave in that stuffy wedding dress.

Suddenly the details capture the alpha's attention. The shape of Yanli's pencilled brows, her pale powdered face, strands of hair curled on the sides of her face... a slightly sweaty nose, and the hot red lipstick shading her pink lips.  

"A'Li, you are beautiful.", came out as an unintended murmur.

"...Should I turn off the lights?", Yanli's breath was shallow. 

"No...I want to see you.", Wen Qing caressed her face. "Maybe it's also safe for me to be on top the first time.", she gave a dashing smile.

"Okay...", Yanli agreed and leaned in for another kiss. For the first time, she wasn't afraid to let her pheromones run free. No need for her brothers to get hurt anymore now that she had someone. She simply relaxed and went with the flow as Wen Qing carefully tipped her weight over...

Jiang Cheng showed up at Wei Ying's door with a bottle of wine. He didn't have to say much to get Wei Ying to smile but Wen Xu had a blank look on his face. "Give us a break, it's our sister's wedding night. I cant grief alone!", he scowled.
