The Prince Can Do Divination-Chapter 140 - 124: Wedding Night, a Call of ’Husband’, a Wish Fulfilled
Huo Hongling was more petite, with a slender figure. Her face, hidden behind a red wedding veil, was invisible. Without her usual imposing, heroic air, she appeared exceptionally delicate and lovely.
He walked over to them, close enough to hear their breathing—faint as a mosquito’s hum.
It was clear they were both extremely nervous.
Lu Mingyuan spotted the Jade Ruyi on the table and used it to lift Qi Muxue’s red wedding veil. Her stunningly beautiful face was revealed before him, completely uncovered.
Compared to her usual fresh-faced, natural beauty, Qi Muxue now wore light makeup. Her kohl-lined brows, facial features, and delicate nose were even more exquisite. Her cheeks were faintly flushed, and the rouge on her lips was a deep, tantalizing red, like a cherry ripe for the picking.
The one thing that remained unchanged was her pure, noble, and graceful disposition, and the spirited sparkle in her clear eyes.
At this moment, those eyes were gazing at him, brimming with affection.
He did the same for Huo Hongling, using the Jade Ruyi to lift her veil.
Lu Mingyuan was immediately struck by her beauty as well.
The delicate girl’s shyness was evident in the curve of her slender brows, making her seem like a young maiden again, bashfully avoiding the gaze of her beloved.
"The three of us are to consummate our marriage tonight. Shouldn’t you be calling me ’Husband’ by now?"
Huo Hongling seemed too shy to speak. Embarrassed, she glanced first at Qi Muxue.
Qi Muxue was also shy, but she gave a slight nod. "A husband is his wife’s guide. It is only proper," she said.
As the principal wife, she naturally had to set an example. In a soft, quiet voice, she called out.
"Husband."
That single word, "Husband," was the fulfillment of Lu Mingyuan’s deepest wish. The feeling was indescribable.
He could hardly believe he had actually married the Imperial Capital’s foremost female talent—such a beautiful, enchanting wife!
This was no dream.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was love at first sight for them. They had simply clicked.
From the very first glance on that snowy night they met, a jolt had run through them both.
With such a worthy wife, what more could a husband ask for?
"What are you standing there for? Get over here."
Lu Mingyuan pulled Huo Hongling’s arm, a mischievous grin on his face.
He was just like the big bad wolf luring a little white rabbit.
Blushing, Huo Hongling hesitated for a moment before scooting a little closer. The daughter of the Marquis Wu lowered her head and called out timidly,
"Husband..."
"Good girl!"
The next second, Huo Hongling cried out, "Ah!" A pair of warm lips had pressed against the corner of her mouth. In an instant, she was speechless, her mind a complete blank.
That single moment sent her heart racing.
When Lu Mingyuan pulled back, he watched her with a playful look.
Just a single kiss had elicited such a strong reaction from Huo Hongling. It was clear she had no experience with men and had never known the taste of love.
Seeing this, Qi Muxue felt a pang of disappointment. ’He kissed her first, not me.’
’To hear them both call me ’Husband’... my greatest wish has been fulfilled.’
Lu Mingyuan was very satisfied. He sat down between them, squeezed their hands, and said softly,
"My dear wives, now that you are with me, I, Lu Mingyuan, swear that I will never let you be wronged. From this day forward, you may do as you please. As long as your lives are not in danger, I will not interfere, and no one will be able to hold you back."
"Mhm!"
Qi Muxue nodded emphatically. Her heart was pounding, THUMP-THUMP-THUMP, and her body felt limp, as if boneless. Lu Mingyuan’s words filled her with a warmth that spread through her entire being, and she was full of hope for the future.
’Who says a miracle can’t happen in thirty years? Even for the slimmest of chances, she would take the gamble.’
Huo Hongling clearly felt the same.
As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog. She had essentially married into the Dragon Gate and gained ties to the Royal Family and Nobility. No matter what the future held, she had to stand with Lu Mingyuan.
Lu Mingyuan gazed at the captivating beauties before him, utterly satisfied. He placed a large hand on Qi Muxue’s waist, his roving hand climbing upward, exploring.
Qi Muxue flushed beet-red. She turned her head to see Lu Mingyuan staring at her with a wicked smirk. For some reason, her breath quickened, and she felt completely flustered.
"My ladies, it’s time to consummate our marriage."
Lu Mingyuan leaned in close to Qi Muxue and kissed her gently. Her pearly teeth parted as they embraced. Qi Muxue soon lost herself in the moment, beginning to respond to his passion.
As they kissed deeply, their many layers of clothing were removed, the exquisite, luxurious wedding garments falling to the floor.
Soon, Qi Muxue was lying on the bed in nothing but her chemise. Beside them, Huo Hongling stared, dumbfounded.
"Blow out the candle, blow it out..."
Qi Muxue mumbled.
"No."
Lu Mingyuan’s tone was firm. He let out a sly chuckle.
Mortified, Qi Muxue squeezed her eyes shut, not daring to open them again.
Huo Hongling stood up, intending to go to the window to let the cool air calm her nerves, but a large hand stopped her.
A dignified Grandmaster, yet she was powerless to resist as she was pulled onto the bed.
"Ugh—"
With a startled cry, the candlelight flickered.
And so began a night of passionate love.
...
