Chapter 1309 – You Can No Longer Escape From Me
"Little Lingyu takes after you, Third Brother," Lin Yehan continued saying. "While Little Haoyu resembles Third Sister-in-law Xiulan."
"No, Little Haoyu resembles his maternal grandmother more," Wang Yingjie interjected.
"Oh?" Lin Yehan studied Little Mochi's face more carefully. "You're right, Second Brother. He does look like Madam Wei Lan."
Little Mochi finished his milk bottle faster than his younger brother. Jin Liwei coaxed his eldest twin to burp and didn't mind when the baby started sucking on his sleeve, wetting it with saliva.
Lin Yehan laughed when he saw the scene. "I can't believe that you're the first one to actually marry and become a father among us brothers. You never had any girlfriends before and never responded to seduction."
"Because those people weren't my wife," Jin Liwei replied while remembering all those who attempted to seduce him back then.
He said "people" because there were females and males alike who tried climbing his bed. All failed, of course.
"True." Lin Yehan nodded with a smile. "You went crazy when you fell in love with Xiulan and didn't stop chasing her until you made her yours. And now look at you. A proud husband and father. I'm truly happy for you, Third Brother."
Jin Liwei nodded. "Enough about me. Today's all about Fifth Brother."
He glanced at Lu Zihao. Although he said "Fifth Brother", in his heart, he called the man his brother-in-law.
"Indeed, it's all about Fifth Brother today." Lin Yehan moved to Lu Zihao's side.
The sworn brothers continued chatting in a relaxed manner as opposed to the high-energy bustle in the ladies' side.

Later, Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau on two separate cars. Chen Fei insisted that they not see each other until their actual marriage.
Only Chen Fei accompanied them as the official witness among their friends. The others were left at Dragon Palace to prepare for the hasty private wedding banquet and welcome the guests who could come on such short notice.
Lu Zihao nodded at Chen Fei before helping his pregnant soon-to-be wife out of the car. Unlike his graceful sister, Long Jinjing became much clumsier while pregnant, hence why he had to pay more attention to her for fear that she would trip and break her neck due to carelessness.
When Long Jinjing straightened, Lu Zihao froze and stared at her.
"W-what's wrong?" Long Jinjing became self-conscious. She tried making herself smaller by slouching but her huge belly was impossible to hide.
"Don't." He stopped her from slouching and continued staring at her.
"Why are you looking at me…l-like that? I knew it. I look weird, don't I?"
"Nonsense." Lu Zihao brushed a lock of curled hair away from her face. "You look…nice today. Very nice."
"R-really?"
They heard a loud snort from Chen Fei. Lu Zihao ignored the woman while Long Jinjing quickly turned red from head to toe. There was, however, a shy and pleased smile on her lips from hearing her man's compliment.
She was wearing a simple and flowy red dress which hugged her huge swollen belly in a flattering way. It was chosen by her sister, Iris, and unanimously voted by their other friends.
When Long Jinjing changed into it earlier at the mansion, even she was stunned by her own reflection. Everything from the hair, makeup, nails and the dress made her feel so beautiful today. She no longer felt like a fat and ugly whale.
"Let's go." Lu Zihao guided her up the steps of the building.
Chen Fei followed behind them.
Since Lu Zihao called ahead, the process of registering their marriage was done very quickly. It lasted only fifteen minutes.
Long Jinjing was all smiles when she received her copy of their little red marriage booklet. On it was a photo of her and Lu Zihao who was now her husband.
All along, she had been so worried about appearing fat and ugly in the photo which would be a permanent element of their marriage booklet. Now she realized how pathetic she had been to delay her marriage this long because of such an insignificant reason.
"Happy?" Lu Zihao asked her.
She nodded, beaming with joy. She hugged his arm and together they exited the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"I'll give you the wedding ceremony of your dreams after you give birth," he told her.
"Okay…h-husband."
He smirked before leaning closer and whispering so that only she could hear him. "Prepare yourself for our wedding night…wife."
Her eyes widened as she once again turned red all over. "B-but…the doctor said that we can't anymore."
"The doctor only said no penetration. She didn't say that we can't do other things."
"I…I…okay." Her voice was tiny but he still heard her.
His gaze darkened but he immediately put on an impassive expression when he noticed Chen Fei, the annoying woman, watching the two of them.
"Congrats," Chen Fei told them.
Despite her arrogant personality and crass words, she was genuinely happy for her best friend.
Long Jinjing let go of her husband and hugged her best friend. "Thank you so much, Xiaofei, for everything. You're the best ever friend that I can possibly have in my life."
Chen Fei sniffed. There was a suspicious moist redness in her eyes but her tone was still as arrogant as ever.
"Of course, you're so blessed to have me, Chen Fei, as your best friend! Now go with your husband. I'm leaving in the separate car. I don't want to puke my guts out watching your disgusting public displays of fucking affection!"
With that, Chen Fei marched off to the other car. Long Jinjing chuckled and returned to her husband's side.
Once inside the car, Lu Zihao immediately activated the partition between the driver and the backseat. Then he pulled Long Jinjing in a deep, intense kiss.
She was gasping for air when their wet mouths reluctantly separated. His gaze on her was dark and intense, making her shiver with delight.
"You chose this, Long Jinjing. You're officially mine now. You can no longer escape from me."
She wrapped her arms around his neck—or tried to. It was a challenge with her huge belly.
"Likewise, Nikolai. You can longer escape me as well."
"Hm."
Lu Zihao dove again for another deep kiss.
