Afterward, the two of them enjoyed a variety of amusement park rides, such as the carousel, flower car, and thrilling VR experiences. Kuang Ye had clearly done his homework, knowing the rules of each ride and the exact start and end times.

“Wan wan, are you thirsty? I’ll go buy you some water.” After getting off the roller coaster, Mu Wan felt like her feet weren’t quite touching the ground. She had never experienced such an exhilarating ride before, but it was so much fun.

“Yes, my throat is sore from shouting.” Mu Wan wasn’t usually the type to scream loudly, but on the roller coaster, influenced by the others, it was hard to hold it in. Plus, it felt pretty great to let out a yell.

So, Kuang Ye went off to buy her water. It only took about three minutes. As he was returning, holding the water, he saw a guy dressed in trendy casual clothes, pushed by his friends, walking shyly toward Mu Wan.

“…” What should he do? His girlfriend was too popular.

An idea suddenly struck him. He ran over to Mu Wan, calling out as he approached.

“Baby.”

The guy, who had fallen for Mu Wan at first sight and was about to strike up a conversation, was confused: “?”

Mu Wan, still a bit dazed and unaware of what was going on, also blinked in confusion: “??”

Kuang Ye walked up to her and opened the water bottle, speaking in a tone neither too loud nor too soft.

“Baby, drink some water.”

Mu Wan felt like she was about to get goosebumps. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she whispered, “Little brat, what are you calling me?”

They had never been this mushy at home.

Kuang Ye, however, showed no restraint. “Good girl, do you want to go to the aquarium to see penguins or go to the haunted house? Since you’re scared of the dark, we should probably go to the aquarium.”

Mu Wan’s face turned even redder. “Good girl” was such an embarrassing nickname. With people around them casting occasional glances, she grabbed the water and walked toward the aquarium.

Kuang Ye followed behind her, calling out, “Wife, wait for me!”

The boy who had just been heartbroken after realizing Mu Wan was taken stood there, speechless.

His friend comforted him, saying, “Oh, well, there are plenty of fish in the sea. She’s married now, so stop thinking about it. We can’t be the third wheel, alright?”

Kuang Ye: Hehe, the plan worked!

From then on, Kuang Ye bombarded Mu Wan with various embarrassing terms of endearment. “Baby,” “Little Treasure,” “Darling,” you name it. There was nothing Kuang Ye wouldn’t say, and Mu Wan’s face was redder than ever. But after that, no one came to disturb their date.

As night fell, the two of them had dinner at the themed restaurant before heading to the Ferris wheel. When their cabin reached the very top, a loud bang echoed.

The grand fireworks bloomed in the sky, dazzling and brilliant.

Mu Wan was amazed, her eyes filled with the radiant glow. It was her first time seeing fireworks from such a high place. She had heard that the fireworks at this amusement park were famous, and she had asked Kuang Shuyu to come with her several times, but he always refused, citing work. Looking back, she was glad he hadn’t come. Otherwise, this beautiful display would have been tainted by the memory of someone she disliked.

“Baby, can I kiss you?” A warm breath suddenly brushed against her ear. Mu Wan turned her head to look.

Kuang Ye’s arrogant, handsome face became even more mesmerizing under the glow of the fireworks. His eyes sparkled like the stars, and in them, she could see her own reflection.

“There’s no one around, and you’re still calling me all mushy like that?”

“I want to call you that, because you’re my baby.”

The shame Mu Wan felt deep inside melted into something even more tender and affectionate. She leaned forward and kissed Kuang Ye on the lips, her voice carrying a sweet, seductive tone.

“Husband^[1] T/L’s note: I want to put the original term which is Lao Gong because it kinds of give a different feeling but I didn’t and just let the husband be, in a moment like this, you don’t need to ask before kissing me.”

Kuang Ye’s pupils dilated, his throat moving as his heart thumped wildly, almost as if it were going to burst. His eyes grew dark, and his voice became hoarse.

“Wan wan, what did you call me?”

Mu Wan raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile. “Didn’t you just call me ‘wife’?”

Kuang Ye couldn’t hold back any longer. He grabbed the back of her head and kissed her deeply.

Mu Wan, clutching his shirt, saw the uncontrollable desire in his eyes and, casting aside her shyness, responded passionately.

Under the night sky, surrounded by fireworks, the two lovers kissed, unwilling to part.

—

By the time they got off the Ferris wheel, Mu Wan’s lips were swollen and unrecognizable. She lowered her head in embarrassment.

Kuang Ye immediately pulled a foldable hat from his pocket and put it on her head.

Mu Wan: “??”

Where did that come from?

Kuang Ye grinned wickedly and leaned close to her ear. “I prepared it in advance.”

Mu Wan: “…”

So, he had planned to kiss her on the Ferris wheel all along? And had the nerve to ask her if it was okay? Ugh!

“It’s getting late. Let’s go back and rest, and continue playing tomorrow?”

Their luggage had been taken to the hotel room by the park staff when they entered the amusement park. After a full day of fun, Mu Wan was indeed tired.

“Yeah, let’s go back.”

The crowd was thick, and they walked arm in arm towards the exit, unaware of the pair of malicious, obsessive eyes watching them from behind.

At the hotel, Kuang Ye went to take a shower first. Mu Wan took her camera and looked at the photos they had taken that day. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. She hesitated for a moment but then remembered the manager had mentioned room service. Thinking it was a complimentary fruit platter, she went over to open the door.

Kuang Ye was quick in the shower.

“Wan wan, go ahead and shower. I’ve already filled the bathtub for you… Wan wan?”

When he entered the room, it was empty, and his expression changed in an instant. He immediately called her, but heard the ringtone coming from the door.

Panicked, he rushed over. The door was wide open. Mu Wan’s phone lay on the soft carpet, and a note with writing was on the floor.

“Within an hour, gather 10 million in cash and deliver it to this location.”

“You little bastard, don’t even think about calling the police unless you want your fiancée dead.”

Kuang Ye’s expression turned cold and dark, his grip tightening on her phone to the point it almost cracked. That voice… it was that bastard!
