To Embrace A Soul

Chapter 17

"Damn! I'm so hot!"

You might think that those words were uttered by someone very narcissistic. Someone like Kiki, for example. Nope!
Those words were uttered by a very happy Zhao Xiaotang.

Surprised? No?

The much anticipated day is finally here. Today is the day where Shaking and Kiki will get married. Xiaotang and Shuxin had been actively involved in helping out with the preparations, so they were very excited to see how it'll all turn out.

"Aren't you ready, lao po?" Xiaotang asked as she knocked on the bedroom door. "Lao po~"

"Just a minute!" came Shuxin's muffled voice.

Xiaotang leaned on the door in boredom. Somehow, Shuxin always manages to take her sweet time when preparing to go out. The CEO heard her wife jostling the door knob and had to quickly stand up straight to not fall forward.

"Hey~" Shuxin smiled. "How do I look?"

"Gorgeous as always," Xiaotang answered without missing a beat.

Xiaotang lifted her up and twirled her around. Shuxin squealed in excitement.

"Ah~ Tangtang!" Shuxin laughed. "Put me down!"

Xiaotang stopped spinning.

"But I don't want to," she pouted. "You're much too irresistible."

With that, she kissed her wife on the lips. Shuxin giggled cutely as she pulled away, booping Xiaotang on the nose playfully. Xiaotang put her down gently.

"Well, madam," she chivalrously offered Shuxin her arm, "Shall we?"

Shuxin daintily took Xiaotang's arm.

"We shall."

"Mama!!!!"

Xinwen visibly flinched as Shaking ugly-cried. Keran and Zihan exchanged a look.

"Xie Keyin," the maid of honor sighed. "Sometimes, I just don't get you."

"No one has to!!!" Shaking wailed. "I just want my mama!!!"

Keran opened her mouth to inform her that her mother is no more but Zihan shushed her girlfriend.

"Are you going to be that insensitive, Lu Keran??" Zihan hissed.

Keran quickly shut her mouth.

"What's the matter?" Nineone scrambled into the room. "I heard my baby sister is crying and came as soon as I did."

"Nineone jiejie!!!" Shaking cried. "I miss my mama!!!"

"I know baobei, I know," Nineone pulled her into a hug.

"Why did she leave so early?" Shaking sobbed. "She didn't even wait to see her daughter get married. Mama!!!"

Nineone gently patted Shaking on her back. Shaking continued to cry.

"What's the matter?" Xiaotang and Shuxin had burst into the room, followed by Yu Yan.

"I want my mama," Shaking's loud sobs were now reduced to soft whimpers and she clung onto Nineone.

"Awwn baobei!" Shuxin pulled Shaking into a bone crushing hug.

"I just want her to be able to witness my big day, you know," Shaking whimpered. "Why did she go so soon?"

Everyone gathered around Shaking as they gave her emotional support. Xinwen and Nineone fixed her makeup.

"I DEMAND TO SEE MY WIFE!!!"
