Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life - Chapter 34: "I Do"

As I opened the package, inside wrapped within a red gift tissue wrap something of sapphire colour peeked out.

It is a cocktail suit piece.

I opened it and without further ado, I rushed to wear it.

I stood in front of the mirror and admired my wife’s gift.

It is a three-piece cocktail suit of sapphire colour and gold piping around the edges. It didn’t feel gaudy, at all; it looked more classy and authoritative in its outlook. It is paired with a red, narrow knotted, long silk tie.

The entire outfit is quite complementary to my complexion and height.

While her hickey peeked from behind the collars. It is very conspicuous. I feel flushed and giddy. My wife just flirted with me gave me a hickey and marked her dominance over me. I wanted to go to a temple and offer a thousand incense for my luck.

I loosened my collar to give the hickey its own ‘special attention’.

I feel like the temperature in the room is rising.

I combed my hairs and then walked out to receive Bai Chang by the stairs, just like those old classics.

***

As I waited for my wife to get ready I am ambushed by our son.

“Papa, you are so bad.”

“Why? What did I do?”

“Mamma, made you a dress while I got nothing as I am not going to the event.”

“So..”

(I am enjoying this moment as mostly it is my rascal son who monopolizes Bai Chang’s time.)

“You betrayed our cooperation. As you forbid me to attend this event and now I am making a loss.”

“Are you being calculative against your own Papa?”

“Hmmph…”

“I will give you more time to spend with your mother outside the arranged time.”

Finally, the fluff ball quit being angry but sat by himself at one corner of the sofa and sulked.

(I find pleasure in finding my son sulking. Is that excessive? Then who asked him to stick to his mother’s side and take up all my single time? Serves him right. Today, it will be our night. Me and Bai Chang under the moon all alone.)

[CLICK… CLICK…Click]

While I am lost in my fantasy, I hear sharp clicks of heels.

Bai Chang glided down those stairs. She looked amazing.

I just keep on looking at her.

[Snap… Snap]

Bai Chang snapped her fingers to get my attention to the present.

“You look mesmerizing, I do not want to reveal you to the world,” I speak up subconsciously.

“Then, who is going to compliment my gift? It requires an owner. I am so not allowing my property to be ravaged by other hungry foxes.”

“Ohh..”

(I almost had a boner, listening to her. I lately realised that when she flirts with me, it is injurious to my health, due to her OP level.)

I offered her my hands and just keep holding on to it.

She is wearing gold; high neck applique dress with a mermaid tail ending, short sleeves, and the overall dress is made up brocade silk with her waist part covered in a sheer lacework of gold with some beautiful flowers stitches.

Her hairs were all pulled up in a side part bun with waterfall braids lining the edges.

She wore a pair of long dangling sapphire earring and on her left hand, there is a band.

“Is it our wedding band?”

“Oh… good thing you asked.”

She rushed towards her ground-floor study room.

It smelled like a fresh breeze of tulips. I wonder from where she obtained this fragrance.

After some time, she walks towards me while holding something behind her hand.

“This might be overbearing to you and presumptuous of me…”

She said ominously.

Then she pushed a small round jewellery box towards me.

Inside I see a pair of couple rings made up of platinum and some words are engraved on it.

I looked towards her.

“They are our engagement rings.”

I am taken aback with her move.

“Shouldn’t I be the one giving it to you?”

“I like taking initiatives by myself.”

I am amused as well as surprised by her confession.

I look at those rings..

On one of them, it’s engraved with embedded gold, ‘His Queen’.

While the other one has engraved on it ‘Baddie Wolf’ outside of the ring while inside it is scribbled ‘personal property of his Queen’.

Seeing me so lost in my thoughts, she asked, “You don’t like them? Are you having second thoughts? Are yo—”

I take the ring that says, ‘His Queen’ and I go down on my knees and say, “Will you marry me?”

“What?” she is interrupted and surprised.

I repeat myself, “Will you marry me?”

She stared me straight in my eyes; my heart goes on overdrive mode. Then finally she replied, “I Do”.

For a fraction of a second, my heart stopped beating.

Then it totally got over paced as I am high on dopamine.

I straight away lift her and twirl her around. There is a slight smile on her face but her eyes were so bright with happiness.

She looked more stunning at this very moment.

I put the ring on her finger, while she pulled up my hands.

“Are you ready to slave for me, for the rest of your life?”

“I Do”, I replied more enthusiastically.

We just realised that we got engaged to each other while our son bore witness to the process silently.

He is no more sulking around.

Bai Chang beckons him to her side.

“Darling, Mamma loves you the most. You know that right?”

“Yes, Mamma. I Do.”

She hugged him tight and I joined them holding them all in a bear hug.
