Xiehan cupped her cheeks in his hands and kissed her lips gently. He had meant to take it slow but when she slid her fingers into his hair as a mȯȧn escaped her lips, he couldn't help himself. He ran his hands down her body and cupped her backside, carrying her off the ground like she weighed nothing.

She swallowed down a mȯȧn and wrapped her arms around him for support as he made a beeline for the living room. He placed her on the couch and his body covered hers soon after, as he kissed her neck.

He positioned himself between her legs, grinding against her core and she couldn't help arching her back.

"Honey, I need you." He spoke in a low, hoarse voice against her shoulder blade. "I can't wait."

"Then don't." She pushed him off her slightly to strip off her clothes, down to her undėrwėȧr. His clothes were off his body faster than she could ever imagine possible and he pushed her back down, yanking off her pȧntɨės.

"So impatient, huh?" Her tease morphed into a mȯȧn when he slid into her. He cupped her brėȧst with one hand as the other held her waist. She wrapped her legs around his waist and as his thrusts quickened, she couldn't help grinding her hɨps to his rhythm.

He covered her mouth with his intense kisses as he slid in and out of her, riding them both to their climax. Her muscles clenched and she knew it was close, but then he slid out of her.

"Xiehan?" She whimpered his name desperately. He responded by sliding to her legs and burying his head between them. His tongue was on her core as he held her thɨġhs apart, flicking and suċkɨnġ on her ċŀɨt like his life depended on it. She cried out his name over and over as his tongue slid into her entrance, and it wasn't long before her ȯrġȧsm crashed down on her in waves of pŀėȧsurė. Her toes curled over his shoulders as her eyes squeezed shut and her legs parted even farther.

"I wanted to have a taste of you." He got back up and held her leg on his shoulder, chasing his own release. He pressed gentle kisses on her face and slipped off of her to hold her in his arms.

She wanted nothing more than to bask in the moment. It would be great if they could drape a blanket over themselves and stay curled up against each other, watching a movie together or simply embracing each other. Alas, they had to get ready to meet their friends.

One warm shower later, Xiehan dressed casually in jeans and a navy t-shirt while Lanni opted for denim shorts and a silk top.

They finished dressing up just as the doorbell rang.

"Take your time. I'll get it." He kissed her cheek and left the room, but she tailed after him since she was done anyway.

Luna was the first to arrive. She hugged Xiehan briefly and walked past him to her sister. "You look so beautiful! Are you sure you don't have a secret I don't know of?"

"You want me to let you know, and watch you take the spotlight? Please." Lanni teased, and they both laughed.

"Luna is the most beautiful goddess anyway." Xingyu remarked when he entered the house just to witness this bicker.

Laughing at him, the sisters stood side by side to remind him that they were a copy of each other.

Lanni ran a hand down Luna's growing tummy. "Have you had enough rest?"

"I slept nine hours straight. I don't know why it was so hard before." She made way for Xingyu to say hello, then remembered that she had brought something.

"Right. Xingyu, did you bring the gifts?" .

"Be right back!" He dashed off to get them.

"You brought gifts? It's already a big gift that I have you." Said Lanni, and Luna pulled her into a hug.

"Don't flatter me. I'm more used to bickering with you."

The rest arrived at the same time, and Lanni couldn't help teasing Cheng Yu. "Hey, I thought you wouldn't find your way."

"That's what Google maps are for." Cheng Yu retorted and placed a scroll in her hand. Lanni knew that it was a painting without looking at it.

"Thank you. You guys are so sweet." She hugged her emotionally and looked around suspiciously, noticing the missing guests.

"You didn't bring Mumu and Linhou?" She asked Xingyu who was carrying in a huge box.

"The little devils preferred to stay with their grandmother. Ow!" He winced when Luna hit his head playfully.

"Whose kids did you just say are devils?" She reprimanded him.

"I don't mean it literally. Ow! Hey, don't pull my hair."

"Are you sure Xingyu is not being abused?" Cheng Yu joked, and they all burst into laughter. Of course, they knew Luna was not inflicting actual pain on him and they were just playing around.

When Han Xichen, Xiaoshi and Cedric entered the house, Lanni finally led everyone to the dining area.

Li Yuming and Neil arrived just as they sat down. They had brought with them bottles of rare wine to celebrate, including one with Zero alcohol content for Lanni and Luna.

"Let's drink our hearts out!" Cedric yelled, and everyone else joined in to toast.

Soon, the dinner turned into wedding business. Lanni slapped her forehead. "I almost forgot I have a wedding to plan."

To be exact, the planning agency was doing most of the planning, but there were still details that needed her attention. Luna showed her the pictures that had been sent to her email, which showed how her top color choices would look on the venue.

She approved of it and turned her attention to Cheng Yu. "You have been silent all night. Is everything alright?"

"Yes." Cheng Yu placed her hand over hers. Lanni dropped it but it gnawed at her and she couldn't keep still anymore. "Actually, I have something to tell you." She glanced over at Luna, letting her know that the matter was for her to hear too.

"What is it?" Lanni probed.

"Cedric and I have decided to leave the country."
