[[忘羡 | WangXian 3]] : Our Flesh And Bones

[114.] Wine.

Sandu Shengshou was clenching his teeth as they entered the hall for dinner. He was grateful that Lan Xichen was there with him, because  –  knowing himself, and knowing his brother  –  there would be a fight otherwise. He was also grateful that it was just the four of them  -  Hanguang-Jun was adamant about Miao Lu not meeting his husband that day at all, and now she was dining with Wen Ning in her room. 

A-Yuan was miserably grounded and was keeping them company, to Sue Lin's huge luck and delight, but he was inevitably sulking and pouting.

Bai Li was furious  –  the Masters have been a mess in every possible respect. And now an engagement? She had absolutely no time to prepare, and now was yelling at the poor servant girls in the kitchen to "step it up or else!", she swore to herself that it would be an evening to remember; moreover, it was the third day of the New Year's festivities, and there just ought to be a feast. 

Master Wen promised her game for tomorrow, but roasting meat for six also took time and people. She was fuming, it all was too much for just a single person to manage.

- Well, well, Sandu Shengshou!   –  Wei Wuxian grinned as he watched them settling down. – I believe congratulations are in order?

- Would you ever be so kind, Wei Qianbei,  as to NOT  eavesdrop on people's private conversations?  -  Jiang Cheng hissed through gritted teeth.

- Ah, but Brother! It was not my fault! You two were making love so noisily that everybody  heard you! – the grin was getting broader.  –  Right, my love?  –  he turned to Lan Wangji.  –  See, Hanguang-Jun here will confirm it!

- Mmmm.  -  Hanguang-Jun was not interested in squabbles. He was rather focused on Wei Ying's neck, yearning to kiss and lick there.

Jiang Wanyin cast a glance at his lover, terrified. Lan Xichen only smiled and shook his head "no". 

He relaxed, and glared back Wei Ying, fuming.

- Wei Ying, please...  -  Lan Zhan murmured, pulling his way-too-happy husband closer to himself. - Sandu Shengshou, Lan Xichen, congratulations on your engagement. We are both extremely happy for you. And on New Year's... This must mean good fortune, Brother.  –  Lan Wangji bowed to them both, smiling.

- Yes! Yes!  –  Wei Ying leaned his head on his husband's shoulder, but exclaimed, agreeing enthusiastically.

- Thank you, so very much.  –  Lan Huan's voice reflected the tenderness he felt in his heart too. – It means a lot to us. Your support and happiness are highly appreciated, Brother, Brother-in-Law. – he bowed politely.

- A-Cheng, Zewu-Jun, I can't wait! I am sure it will be a glorious wedding! And you are going to have a lot of kids too, right? I know you want to! You are so good together!  –  he was babbling excited. – I promise to be the Godfather of them all! Right??? 

Jiang Cheng turned to look at Lan Xichen terrified again, his eyes were begging for him to do something.

- Wei Qianbei, we... Haha, we have not fixed a date for a wedding yet. And...  Hmmm, there are more important matters at hand.

- Indeed.  –  Lan Zhan was blushing, and, as his face was too close to Wei Wuxian's neck, he felt a little dizzy, inhaling his scent.

- I  am not  letting  you  anywhere  near my children, Wei Wuxian!!!  -  Jiang Cheng growled, taking a cup of wine and drinking furiously.

- Wanyin... children... Do you...   

Lan Xichen gasped, and when Jiang Cheng turned to face him he saw that his eyes were wide open, glistening with excitement, and he was blushing. He leaned in and his hand touched his face gently, and he let out a sigh and leaned in too, and they kissed, grabbing each other so passionately that Sandu Shengshou was now on top of Zewu-Jun, pressing him to the floor and kissing him deeply.
