135 Epilogue: Little Family
The moment they stepped into his palace, he swept her up in a princess style. His hand taking advantage of her waist.
"Pei Nan! Put me down. People are looking." She looked to the left and then the right. Thankfully only a few maids were present. But they all looked down from embarrassment.
After passing through the multiple halls to his room, they arrived back at the pool. The place they first shared a physical intimacy together. They were both reminded of it and Yu Mei began to blush.
"Should we replay our memory?" He teased her.
Yu Mei looked at the pool and then back to him. "Are you crazy? I won't!"
"Fine. We'll just head straight to the bed then." He casually said walking around the pool. It took every ounce of his strength not to just put her in the pool and take her there.
"I changed my mind. Let's take a dive." She kept trying to negotiate with him even after they had entered his room.
The first time she had stepped foot in his room.
Nothing like she had expected. It was a large wooden room with a bed in the far right, taking up a fourth of the room.
The simpleness was very much like him. He had his work desk on the left with only two paintings on the wall. One, a mountain scenery almost covering the entire wall and then…
Her portrait.
A picture of her smiling with two chopsticks in hand.
And then it happened. Her heart melted. And she was moved. Completely moved.
Pei Nan gently placed her on the bed. Losing her balance, her body rolled to the side. When she flipped herself up front, his hands were caging her at every side.
Her throat went dry.
And she gulped.
"What are you doing?" She stuttered.
"Something we should have done a long time ago." His eyes burned with passion; his body inching closer and closer to hers.
Yu Mei leaned further and further into the bed until she could no longer go down any longer.
He bodied himself on top of her. "You're going to deny me once more?" He provocatively asked; his hot breath on her neck. Sending chills down her spine.
"Go easy." She shyly whispered, getting a soft chuckle from him. He placed his hand on her cheek and slowly caressed it, gently pushing her hair behind her ear. "This will be a new experience for the both of us. Bear with me." He tenderly assured her. "I'll do the work."
His finger softly teased her cheek, slowly going down to her nape and then tracing the softness of her shoulder.
He kissed the front of her neck with such gentleness, she felt her body heat with a sudden warmth. I It only burned hotter within her the moment his mouth filled hers. Leaving them in a breathless fiery passion.
His hand found her waist string. With one soft tug, the knot to her dress undid itself. Then he roughly pulled apart her collar, unveiling her bare shoulders.
She gasped.
Pei Nan lifted his head to look at her milky smooth skin. Enough to become hot and swollen down there.
Yu Mei bit her lips once more when she felt that part of him push on her thigh.
"You're beautiful, did you know that?" His lip lightly sucked on her collar, leaving his mark.
"Tell me to stop if you're uncomfortable." He said before pulling apart more of her clothes, revealing more and more.
Her cleavage bounced out and he took no time to cup each one in his palm; feeling the soft curviness of them.
She arched her back and held in her pleasure.
He didn't waste a moment to use his hands to massage her until she had gone hard. "I can't believe I was able to stay away from you for this long. You taste delightful." He complimented with full satisfaction.
She hit his chest softly. "Keep talking nonsense and I'll change my mind." She said in between breathes.
Once again, he let out a playful chuckle.
He no longer spoke.
The simple pleasure in her intensified the moment he went down there. Then he brought his lips to hers once more. "It'll hurt. Bear with me."
She gripped tightly onto his shoulders and that night, he made her his.
*5 months later
Yu Mei was sitting on a bench out in the flower garden with Pei Nan lying on his back. His head resting on her thigh.
His hand was on her stomach. Her very visible round belly.
The side of his face was touching her belly as he quietly listened.
"What are you doing?" She hit his arm softly.
"Shhh…I'm listening to our baby's movement." He hushed her.
Then it kicked.
"Our little bun kicked." He shot up into a sitting position and grabbed her hand placing it on the area where he felt the kick. "Did you feel it?" He asked excitedly.
She smiled at him, a flustered one to be exact. Of course she could. How could she not feel the little bun in her stomach kick. But seeing how excited he was, she could only nod.
Then he slyly slipped his arm around her waist and scooted closer until their thighs were touching.
"What should we name our baby?"
She put a finger to her chin and thought long and hard on it.
"Lin Ming Ming."
"What if he is a boy?" He asked. "He would hate if we named him Ming Ming." He teased. "If it's a boy, let's name him Lin Mu Yan. Does that sound good?" He suggested.
Yu Mei reached out to caress his cheek affectionately. "I love it." Then she pulled in for a kiss.
"Eeeek! I didn't see anything." A high voice came out from a short distance.
Chu'mei had her face turned away with Feng Ju at her side. Unlike her, he just bowed to them as if physical contact was common for him.
Seeing that they had viewers, Yu Mei and Pei Nan quickly turned to face their viewers.
"You're here." Yu Mei called out to Chu'mei.
Chu'mei happily walked over with apricots in hand. She greeted them both.
"My lady, I bought these at the market. I hear they are good for pregnant women." She smiled brightly. "How is the little princess?"
Feng Ju spoke from behind her. "What makes you think it's going to be a girl? It could be a little prince." He corrected her.
Chu'mei turned and gave Feng Ju a competitive look. "Bet!"
"Fine. What are the stakes?" He crossed his hand.
Chu'mei perked her lips and moved her eyes to the left and then the right. She was really thinking about it. This had to count. She just knew it would be a girl. "If I win, you must be my slave for a whole month."
"Deal!" Then he took a step closer to her. His eyes full of adoration and mischief. "But if I win, you have to marry me."
Chu'mei's jaw almost dropped from the shock. Then her cheeks began to burn. Unable to look at him anymore, she looked at the fruits in her hands. "I won't agree to it."
Pei Nan and Yu Mei looked at each other and laughed in unison "We witness this bet." Pei Nan coolly defended Feng Ju. Chu'mei looked to her lady. "Whatever the outcome, it'll be good for the both of you." Yu Mei agreed with her husband.
5 years later
In that very same garden, Yu Mei and Pei Nan were sitting on the bench hand in hand. They had given up their peace and quiet for the playful laughter filling the garden.
Then a loud cry came closer and closer to them until a tiny hand reached out to Yu Mei.
Dressed in a small yellow garb, a little boy ran up to them. He looked like a small rabbit. Especially with his big brown eyes and runny nose. "Mother, tell her to stop picking on me. I'm scared."
It was the little prince.
Before Yu Mei could calm the child at her side, another little figure came running towards them.
With her tiny little pigtails, she was running at full speed with a big grin on her face. She had one hand reached out, something small hanging from her hand. Yu Mei and Pei Nan couldn't tell what it was until she had made her way.
"Mom! Dad!" She happily greeted the two.
A little princess.
"Daddy! Help me. Ming Ming has worms. in her hand." The little prince reached his arms out to his father. Pei Nan picked him up into his lap.
"Brother Yan, it's only a worm. No need to be afraid." Ming Ming leaned her little body on Yu Mei's leg and held the worm up to her brother.
Her twin brother.
He only grabbed onto his father's neck and cried some more.
Yu Mei had just finished pacifying her crying little prince when in the corner of her eyes, she spotted Chu'mei.
Standing side to side with her was none other than Feng Ju. Chu'mei had one hand placed in his while he held onto her waist to support her. This time it was her who had a little bun in the oven. To be exact, the bun was almost ready to be pulled out.
Yu Mei in hand with Ming MIng hurriedly went over to help Chu'mei to the bench. Ming Ming grabbed Chu'mei's other hand. "Auntie Chu'mei, let me help you." She cheekily said. And Chu'mei couldn't help but want to pinch the little girl's cheek.
The moment Chu'mei sat down, she sighed a breath of relief. She didn't know how her lady was able to carry not one but two babies. "My lady, I'm about to die from exhaustion." Chu'mei complained.
"Why didn't you say so." Feng Ju spoke before Yu Mei could get a word in. Without hesitation, he stood behind her and began to massage her shoulders. Chu'mei smirked with a little bit of satisfaction.
She wanted to tease her good husband. "It's too tough. I truly regret being married."
Yu Mei looked at Pei Nan wiping little Mu Yan's nose and smiled. "But you're crazy in love with Feng Ju. What do you regret?" Yu Mei asked.
Pei Nan was quick to agree with his wife. Marriage to Yu Mei was the best thing he had done.
But Chu'mei was even more stubborn than her lady. "Who says I agreed to marry him willingly." She rolled her eyes.
"Eh! Who told you to lose then." Feng Ju being hurt quickly threw facts at her. "Her highness had twins. So I agreed to be your slave for a month but you...it took you TWO full years to marry me." He emphasized.
"I…hmph!" Chu'mei was at a loss for words.
Pei Nan put his hand on Feng Ju's shoulder and smiled. "A happy wife is a happy life. I'll leave you to pacify your wife."
Yu Mei bent down and whispered in Chu'mei's ears. "Don't be too stubborn. Feng Ju might really leave you." She teasingly warned.
She then walked over to Pei Nan's side, kissed the cheek of Little Yan who was still being held in his highness's arm. "It's time for their nap. We should go." Pei Nan held his hand out to her. Yu Mei smiled as she took his hand while the other held Ming Ming's.
"Yes, let's go my dear husband."
