Once Again: hua cheng x fem reader

12

After going back to the mortal world, I was met with a sulky and pouty hua cheng.

"Cheng cheng, what happened?"

He looked up at me with big doe eyes and sighed dramatically

"What happened to your promise saying you love me?"

"What do you mean? I love you, i didn't break my promise" i said confusingly

I cup his face

"Now tell me what's wrong"

"I don't like your stupid shixiong. He was going to take you away from me. Did you see the way he looked at you? I should've gouged his eyes out. Only i can look at you like that"

Hua cheng gritted his teeth, irritated.

I giggle, intrigued at this new personality of this man-child.

"Ayo, is our cheng cheng jealous? I don't remember you eating vinegar"

A/n: in mandarin, the words jealous and eating vinegar are the same words so it's a play on words. Also, when you get jealous, you get sour and vinegar is sour.

"Hmph" hua cheng turns his back away from me, a big pout on his face

"Okay okay, no more pouting, hm?"

I turn his shoulders to face me and gave a small peck on his pout.

A'cheng had a big grin, ear to ear, now contented and satisfied. He moved to hug me, arms around my waist and head on my chest.

"Ayo, not mad anymore?" I teased, playing with his silky dark locks

"He was so flirty and touchy with you. There's no way he doesn't like you. You're so beautiful, kind, the definition of perfect. You're mine. I'm not sharing"

"I only see him as my shixiong, nothing more. I only love you hm?"

I gave a big smooth on his cheek and a slight pink colored his face.

"Ayo yo yo, don't get shy on me now" i teased

Hua cheng quickly put his head back on my chest, whining.

"I have to check up on ghost city. Apparently since I haven't gone in a while, the vermins have forgotten who's the ruler"

A/n: ghost city is a city that hua cheng rules. He's considered a independent and clever ruler and has the citizens' needs as priority. Most of his subordinates are loyal but a few higher rank officials are scheming for his throne

Hua cheng suddenly shoots his head up, a big grin on his face

"Do you want to come with me?!! I want to show you around my reigned territory and show those disrespectful officials my beautiful and perfect wife!"

Hua cheng bats his eyes with a hopeful look on his face.

"Sure, why not? I would love to" I smile gently, giving a peck on his forehead.

"Yayyy!!" Hua cheng childishly cheers

The next morning:

I changed into the new outfit a'cheng gave me for the trip to ghost city

I just finished putting on my earrings and I turn around to see a'cheng staring at me, shocked by my beauty

I gave him a twirl and giggled

"Do I look pretty?"

"Of course you look pretty! Wait no, pretty can't be used to describe you, that's too bland and basic. You look absolutely stunning. As expected of my lovely wife"

He walked over and held my hand, kissing my cheek and we walked outside, where hua cheng takes out his distance shortening array dice.

Hua cheng holds the dice in one hand while the other hand moves to my waist.

"Hold tight" he whispers in my ear

We vanish and reappear, not in our little wooden cabin anymore but instead, in front of a large red palace.

The guards standing at the entrance immediately recognizes their ruler and all simultaneously bow.

"Greetings to the supreme ruler, welcome back"

"Arise, good job and continue to work hard" he compliments as we walk past them and towards the palace.

As we arrive towards the entrance of the main hall of the palace, where the throne was, a strong scent of wine floats towards us, along with loud chatters.

We walk in to see the higher rank officials chatting about, drinking wine, most of them drunk.

I turn my head to see hua cheng's face cold and unpleasant.

"What the hell is going on?" Hua cheng's voice booms through the main hall, startling the drunken officials

Their eyes widen and they stumble about before bowing

"G-G-Greetings to the supreme ruler"

"Are these the supposed actions of a high rank official?"

"M-m my lord, y-you didn't tell us you w-would be back so s-suddenly"

"If i didn't come back early, are you saying that you would continue these actions until I come back?"

All the officials quickly got on their knees, shivering with fear

"N-n-no! O-of course not!"

I gently squeezed his hand

"A'cheng, don't be so mad hm? That's not good for your health. They just acted unaccordingly. That's why you have to educate them and talk to them. Don't intimidate them"

I felt hua cheng slowly calm down, a sigh escaping and his tense body relaxing

"Okay okay, I'll listen to you, my lovely wife"

Hua cheng walks towards the throne, guiding me to sit next him, hand still in mine.

"Now where were we?"
