CHAPTER 293: WILD ESCAPADE

Wen Nuan gazed at the ring on her hand, unable to believe she had truly become his wife.

Just moments ago, they were standing in line, waiting to register.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, all the paperwork was done.

A simple, elegant wedding band now adorned her finger.

Wen Nuan had assumed they’d need to go buy rings after arriving in Las Vegas. Who would have thought that as soon as they landed, a handsome, well-built foreign man would hand a pair of rings to Ye Feimo?

He was the North American CEO of Anning International.

Ye Feimo had personally sketched the wedding ring design the moment Wen Nuan had mentioned marriage, faxing it to the US overnight, requesting the rings be finished within ten days.

Wen Nuan had been by his side day and night, yet she had no idea he had commissioned the wedding rings.

This was Ye Feimo’s unexpected surprise for her.

Wen Nuan had always believed she was the one putting more effort into their relationship. However, the more time she spent with Ye Feimo, the more she realized that her efforts paled in comparison to his.

Love wasn’t about who gave more or less; it wasn’t a question of worthiness, but simply willingness.

Ye Feimo was willing to put in that effort, and that was all that mattered.

Wen Nuan thought, "Heaven must truly favor me."

It had truly given her such a perfectly imperfect husband.

The inner bands of the wedding rings bore their initials. She loved the design, which perfectly fit the theme of marriage: happiness. It was subtly different from Anning Jewelry’s usual luxurious theme.

"You design jewelry too?" Wen Nuan asked curiously. As the president of Anning, how could he know so much?

"It’s an industry under Anning International; I have to be involved a little. I also do architectural design," Ye Feimo said. Wen Nuan smiled sweetly, raising her hand instinctively.

The sun was bright today, a beautiful day with a gentle breeze, perfect for a wedding.

Her slender fingers glistened in the sunshine.

The street was bustling with people, and all around them were happy couples coming and going, there to register their marriages.

The sunlight caught the diamond, casting dazzling rays. Looking through her fingers at the brilliant sun, Wen Nuan felt as if she could see a future filled with happiness.

Wen Nuan’s face was radiant with joy, a happiness that emanated spontaneously from deep within, enveloping her entire being, making everyone feel from inside out that she was a woman steeped in honey.

She was a woman surrounded by happiness, and she was the jewel he held in his palm, like this exquisite diamond ring.

Next, they just needed to have the certificate notarized at the consulate, and it would be valid in China.

That would complete the final step.

"Wife, happy wedding!" Ye Feimo wrapped his arm around her waist, and a gentle kiss landed on her cheek. Finally, she was completely his, officially Mrs. Ye Feimo.

Of all days in his life, today he was the happiest.

Today he was the proudest, because he had captured his girl.

To hold your hand, and grow old with you.

Never to regret.

Shyness colored her cheeks, and her ears grew warm. "Husband, happy wedding!"

She turned, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his lips.

Feimo, I love you.

Cai Xiaojing wanted to kill Lin Ning.

This murderous thought had been savagely swirling in her mind for three or four days, constantly stirring. Even the idyllic life in this paradise couldn’t suppress Cai Xiaojing’s rampant killing intent.

Her temper had been flaring up these past few days. Her boss, in a fit of excitement, took her to a mountain for hot springs, but they brought absolutely nothing, not even their phones. It was a wonderful vacation spot, with purely natural hot springs built deep in the mountains, where there was no signal.

No internet, no phone calls.

There were several farms nearby, and everyone lived very simply.

Cai Xiaojing was a native of A City, someone who knew how to enjoy life. Yet, for so many years, she hadn’t known such a fairyland existed deep in the mountains. There were over twenty natural hot spring pools in the forest.

The temperature was just right, making it very comfortable to soak.

There were more than twenty individual wooden cabin villas in the mountains, with beautiful exteriors and modern interior decor. Each small villa also came with its own private garden, filled with various flowers. The small garden was enclosed by a small fence, covered in morning glories.

The food was also all-natural and authentically flavored.

Everything seemed incredibly beautiful.

However...

There was no internet in the mountains, and no signal, making it impossible to contact the outside world. This was a place meant for complete relaxation, with absolutely no entertainment. One or two days were fine, three or four days she could tolerate, but after four days, she started to go crazy.

"Lin Ning, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Cai Xiaojing couldn’t understand why such a remote place was so popular. All the hotel rooms were occupied; there were no vacancies. Business was incredibly good, and a single night cost 100,000, which was practically robbery.

Cai Xiaojing gloomily thought that everyone staying in this place must be nouveau riche.

Lin Ning clarified lazily, "This place is where Uncle Ye and Uncle Tang used to bring us kids when we were little. Otherwise, how would any of us know about a place like this? Do parvenus have this kind of leisure time?"

Cai Xiaojing was incredibly depressed, grinding her teeth.

"It’s been seven days; it’s time to go back," Cai Xiaojing exclaimed, exasperated. She had no problem relaxing here, but being disconnected from computers, having no TV, and fully embracing a pastoral lifestyle was very uncomfortable for a modern person, especially since she had missed her idol’s calls. Wen Nuan must have had many contracts to deal with these past few days, and her phone must have been ringing off the hook.

She truly had no leisure or inclination to play at "gathering chrysanthemums by the eastern hedge, leisurely seeing the southern mountains" with Lin Ning here.

"Ye Er said he won’t be back for half a month. Why are you in such a hurry? Wen Nuan isn’t back, and I know you have nothing to do, so I specifically brought you here to relax. I’m telling you, soaking in these hot springs can cure illnesses," Lin Meiren said earnestly, giving solemn advice.

If looks could kill, Lin Ning would have been killed countless times over.

"I know you’re sick; otherwise, you wouldn’t be soaking," Cai Xiaojing said coldly, narrowing her eyes. Dark clouds gathered over her head, instantly freezing the ground by three feet.

Director Lin was quite used to being hated and scorned. As a commercial film director, his movies were often meticulously scrutinized by countless professionals and non-professionals alike. Director Lin had long since become impervious to criticism, inside and out.

"Someone like you, who sleeps at 2 AM every day, will definitely get cerebral hemorrhage, high blood pressure, bone spurs, cervical spondylosis, lumbar bone spurs, and infertility. So soaking in hot springs can cure illnesses. Be good, soak for half a month before going back."
